 W I T N E S S E T H:

 WHEREAS, the Borrowers have requested, and the Lenders have agreed to make available to the Borrowers, a revolving credit facility
(including a letter of credit subfacility) upon and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement to (a) refinance Prior Indebtedness, (b) provide for working capital, capital expenditures and other general corporate
purposes of the Borrowers and (c) fund certain fees and expenses associated with the funding of the Loans; 
 WHEREAS, the Borrowers
desire to secure all of their Obligations under the Loan Documents by granting to Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest in and lien upon substantially all of their Property; and 

WHEREAS, subject to the terms hereof, each Subsidiary of a Borrower is willing to guaranty all of the Obligations of the Borrowers and to
grant to Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest in and lien upon substantially all of its Property. 







 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements, provisions and covenants contained
herein, the parties hereto agree as follows: 
 ARTICLE I. 

THE CREDITS 
 1.1
Amounts and Terms of Commitments. 
 (a) Reserved. 

(b) The Revolving Credit. 

(i) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and in reliance upon the representations and warranties of the Credit Parties
contained herein, each Revolving Lender severally and not jointly agrees to make Loans to the Borrowers (each such Loan and each Incremental Revolving Loan, a “Revolving Loan”) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from
the Closing Date through the Final Availability Date, in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount set forth opposite such Lender’s name in Schedule 1.1(b) under the heading “Revolving Loan
Commitments” (such amount as the same may be reduced or increased from time to time in accordance with this Agreement, being referred to herein as such Lender’s “Revolving Loan Commitment”); provided, however, that, after giving
effect to any Borrowing of Revolving Loans, the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Revolving Loans shall not exceed the Maximum Revolving Loan Balance. Subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, amounts borrowed under this
Section 1.1(b) may be repaid and reborrowed from time to time. The “Maximum Revolving Loan Balance” from time to time will be the lesser of: 

(x) the Borrowing Base (as calculated pursuant to the Borrowing Base Certificate) in effect from time to time, or 

(y) the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment then in effect; 

less, in either case, the sum of (x) the aggregate amount of Letter of Credit Obligations plus (y) outstanding Swing Loans. 

(ii) If at any time the then outstanding principal balance of Revolving Loans exceeds the Maximum Revolving Loan Balance, then the Borrowers
shall, subject to Section 1.1(b)(iii), within one (1) Business Day thereof prepay (x) first, outstanding Swingline Loans, (y) second, outstanding Revolving Loans, and (z) and then cash collateralize outstanding Letters of
Credit in an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess in accordance herewith and in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the L/C Issuers. 

(iii) If the Borrower Representative requests that Revolving Lenders make, or permit to remain outstanding, Revolving Loans in excess of the
Borrowing Base (less the sum of (x) the aggregate amount of Letter of Credit Obligations plus (y) outstanding Swing Loans) (any such excess Revolving Loan is herein referred to as an “Overadvance”), Agent may, in its sole
discretion, elect to make, or permit to remain outstanding such Overadvance; provided, however, that Agent may not cause Revolving Lenders to make, or permit to remain outstanding, (A) aggregate Revolving Loans in excess of the Aggregate
Revolving Loan Commitment (less the sum of (x) the aggregate amount of Letter of Credit Obligations plus (y) outstanding Swing Loans) or (B) an Overadvance in an aggregate amount in excess of 10% of the Aggregate


  
 2 








 
Revolving Loan Commitment. Upon the consent of the Required Lenders, an Overadvance in excess of 10% of the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment may be made. No Overadvance shall remain
outstanding for more than ninety (90) consecutive days during any one hundred eighty (180) consecutive day period. If an Overadvance is made, or permitted to remain outstanding, pursuant to the preceding sentence, then all Revolving
Lenders shall be bound to make, or permit to remain outstanding, such Overadvance based upon their Commitment Percentage of the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, regardless of whether the conditions
to lending set forth in Section 2.2 have been met. Furthermore, Required Lenders may prospectively revoke Agent’s ability to make or permit Overadvances by written notice to Agent. All Overadvances shall constitute Base Rate Loans
and shall bear interest at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans and the default rate under Section 1.3(c). 

(c) Letters of Credit. 

(i) Conditions. On the terms and subject to the conditions contained herein, Borrower Representative may request that one or more L/C
Issuers Issue, and any L/C Issuer so requested shall Issue, in accordance with such L/C Issuers’ usual and customary business practices and for the account of the Borrowers or the other Credit Parties, Letters of Credit (denominated in Dollars)
from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date through the earlier of (x) the Final Availability Date and (y) seven (7) days prior to the date specified in clause (a) of the definition of
Revolving Termination Date; provided, however, that no L/C Issuer shall Issue any Letter of Credit upon the occurrence of any of the following or, if after giving effect to such Issuance: 

(A) (i) Availability would be less than zero or (ii) the Letter of Credit Obligations for all Letters of Credit would
exceed $5,000,000 (the “L/C Sublimit”); 
 (B) the expiration date of such Letter of Credit (i) is not a
Business Day, (ii) is more than one year after the date of Issuance thereof or (iii) is later than seven (7) days prior to the date specified in clause (a) of the definition of Revolving Termination Date; provided,
however, that any Letter of Credit with a term not exceeding one year may provide for its renewal for additional periods not exceeding one year as long as (x) each Borrower and such L/C Issuer have the option to prevent such renewal before the
expiration of such term or any such period and (y) neither such L/C Issuer nor any Borrower shall permit any such renewal to extend such expiration date beyond the date set forth in clause (iii) above; or 

(C) (i) any fee due in connection with, and on or prior to, such Issuance has not been paid, (ii) such Letter of Credit is
requested to be Issued in a form that is not reasonably acceptable to such L/C Issuer or (iii) such L/C Issuer shall not have received, each in form and substance reasonably acceptable to it and duly executed by the Borrowers or the Borrower
Representative on their behalf, the documents that such L/C Issuer generally uses in the Ordinary Course of Business for the Issuance of letters of credit of the type of such Letter of Credit (collectively, the “L/C Reimbursement
Agreement”). To the extent the terms of any L/C Reimbursement Agreement are materially inconsistent with, or provide for material additional representations or covenants not included in, the terms of this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement
shall control. 

  
 3 








 Furthermore, GE Capital or Silicon Valley Bank as an L/C Issuer may elect only to Issue Letters of Credit in its
own name and may only Issue Letters of Credit to the extent permitted by Requirements of Law, and such Letters of Credit may not be accepted by certain beneficiaries such as insurance companies. For each Issuance, the applicable L/C Issuer may, but
shall not be required to, determine that, or take notice whether, the conditions precedent set forth in Section 2.2 have been satisfied or waived in connection with the Issuance of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that no Letter
of Credit shall be Issued during the period starting on the first Business Day after the receipt by such L/C Issuer of notice from Agent or the Required Lenders that any condition precedent contained in Section 2.2 is not satisfied and
ending on the date all such conditions are satisfied or duly waived. 
 Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, if any Lender is a Non-Funding
Lender or Impacted Lender, no L/C Issuer shall be obligated to Issue any Letter of Credit unless (w) the Non-Funding Lender or Impacted Lender has been replaced in accordance with Section 9.9 or 9.22, (x) the Letter of
Credit Obligations of such Non-Funding Lender or Impacted Lender have been cash collateralized, (y) the Revolving Loan Commitments of the other Lenders have been increased by an amount sufficient to satisfy Agent that all future Letter of
Credit Obligations will be covered by all Revolving Lenders that are not Non-Funding Lenders or Impacted Lenders (it being agreed that no Lender shall be obligated to increase its Revolving Loan Commitments), or (z) the Letter of Credit
Obligations of such Non-Funding Lender or Impacted Lender have been reallocated to other Revolving Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 1.11(e)(ii). 

(ii) Notice of Issuance. The Borrower Representative shall give the relevant L/C Issuer and Agent a notice of any requested Issuance
of any Letter of Credit, which shall be effective only if received by such L/C Issuer and Agent not later than 2:00 p.m. on the third Business Day prior to the date of such requested Issuance. Such notice shall be made in a writing or Electronic
Transmission substantially in the form of Exhibit 1.1(c) duly completed or in any other written form acceptable to such L/C Issuer (each, an “L/C Request”). 

(iii) Reporting Obligations of L/C Issuers. Each L/C Issuer agrees to provide Agent, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
Agent, each of the following on the following dates: (A) (i) on or prior to any Issuance of any Letter of Credit by such L/C Issuer, (ii) immediately after any drawing under any such Letter of Credit or (iii) immediately after
any payment (or failure to pay when due) by any Borrower of any related L/C Reimbursement Obligation, notice thereof, which shall contain a reasonably detailed description of such Issuance, drawing or payment, and Agent shall provide copies of such
notices to each Revolving Lender reasonably promptly after receipt thereof; (B) upon the request of Agent (or any Revolving Lender through Agent), copies of any Letter of Credit Issued by such L/C Issuer and any related L/C Reimbursement
Agreement and such other documents and information as may reasonably be requested by Agent; and (C) on the first Business Day of each calendar week, a schedule of the Letters of Credit Issued by such L/C Issuer, in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to Agent, setting forth the Letter of Credit Obligations for such Letters of Credit outstanding on the last Business Day of the previous calendar week. 

  
 4 








 (iv) Acquisition of Participations. Upon any Issuance of a Letter of Credit in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement resulting in any increase in the Letter of Credit Obligations, each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to have acquired, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such Letter of Credit
and the related Letter of Credit Obligations in an amount equal to its Commitment Percentage of such Letter of Credit Obligations. 
 (v)
Reimbursement Obligations of the Borrowers. Unless the Borrower Representative has provided written notice to the Agent and the L/C Issuer of the Borrowers’ intention to pay to the L/C Issuer of any Letter of Credit each L/C
Reimbursement Obligation owing with respect to such Letter of Credit with interest thereon computed as set forth in clause (A) below from funds other than a Borrowing pursuant hereto, and makes such payment, no later than the first (1st) Business Day after the Borrower Representative and Agent receive notice from such L/C Issuer that payment has been made under such Letter of Credit or that such L/C Reimbursement Obligation is
otherwise due (the “L/C Reimbursement Date”) or any such payment by the Borrowers is rescinded or set aside for any reason, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have made a request for Borrowing of Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans
pursuant to Section 1.5(a) in the amount of such L/C Reimbursement Obligation (and, the Agent shall notify each Revolving Lender of such request). Such L/C Reimbursement Obligation shall, unless funded with a Revolving Loan pursuant to clause
(vi) below, be payable on demand by the Borrowers with interest thereon computed (A) from the date on which such L/C Reimbursement Obligation arose to the L/C Reimbursement Date, at the interest rate applicable during such period to
Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans and (B) thereafter until payment in full, at the interest rate applicable during such period to past due Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans. 

(vi) Reimbursement Obligations of the Revolving Credit Lenders. 

(1) Upon receipt of the notice described in clause (v) above from Agent, each Revolving Lender shall pay to Agent for the account of
such L/C Issuer its Commitment Percentage of such Letter of Credit Obligations (as such amount may be increased pursuant to Section 1.11(e)(ii)). 

(2) By making any payments described in clause (1) above (other than during the continuation of an Event of Default under
Section 7.1(f) or 7.1(g)), such Lender shall be deemed to have made a Revolving Loan to the Borrowers, which, upon receipt thereof by Agent for the benefit of such L/C Issuer, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have used in whole to
repay such L/C Reimbursement Obligation. Any such payment that is not deemed a Revolving Loan shall be deemed a funding by such Lender of its participation in the applicable Letter of Credit and the Letter of Credit Obligation in respect of the
related L/C Reimbursement Obligations. Such participation shall not otherwise be required to be funded. Following receipt by any L/C Issuer of any payment from any Lender pursuant to this clause (vi) with respect to any portion of any
L/C Reimbursement Obligation, such L/C Issuer shall promptly pay to Agent, for the benefit of such Lender, all amounts received by such L/C Issuer (or to the extent such amounts shall have been received by Agent for the benefit of such L/C Issuer,
Agent shall promptly pay to such Lender all amounts received by Agent for the benefit of such L/C Issuer) with respect to such portion. 

  
 5 








 (vii) Obligations Absolute. The obligations of the Borrowers and the Revolving Lenders
pursuant to clauses (iv), (v) and (vi) above shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement irrespective of (A) (i) the invalidity or
unenforceability of any term or provision in any Letter of Credit, any document transferring or purporting to transfer a Letter of Credit, any Loan Document (including the sufficiency of any such instrument), or any modification to any provision of
any of the foregoing, (ii) any document presented under a Letter of Credit being forged, fraudulent, invalid, insufficient or inaccurate in any respect or failing to comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit or (iii) any loss or
delay, including in the transmission of any document, (B) the existence of any setoff, claim, abatement, recoupment, defense or other right that any Person (including any Credit Party) may have against the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or
any other Person, whether in connection with any Loan Document or any other Contractual Obligation or transaction, or the existence of any other withholding, abatement or reduction, (C) in the case of the obligations of any Revolving Lender,
(i) the failure of any condition precedent set forth in Section 2.2 to be satisfied (each of which conditions precedent the Revolving Lenders hereby irrevocably waive) or (ii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or
otherwise) of any Credit Party and (D) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind of Agent, any Lender or any other Person or any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but
for the provisions of this clause (vii), constitute a legal or equitable discharge of any obligation of the Borrowers or any Revolving Lender hereunder. No provision hereof shall be deemed to waive or limit the Borrowers’ right to seek
repayment of any payment of any L/C Reimbursement Obligations from the L/C Issuer under the terms of the applicable L/C Reimbursement Agreement, any Loan Document or applicable law or excuse any L/C Issuer from claims which the Borrowers may assert
against the L/C Issuer subject to the terms of any Loan Documents, applicable L/C Reimbursement Agreement or applicable law. 
 (d) Swing
Loans. 
 (i) Availability. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and in reliance upon the representations and
warranties of the Credit Parties contained herein, the Swingline Lender may, in its sole discretion, make Loans (each a “Swing Loan”) available to the Borrowers under the Revolving Loan Commitments from time to time on any Business Day
during the period from the Closing Date through the Final Availability Date in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding not to exceed its Swingline Commitment; provided, however, that the Swingline Lender may not make any Swing Loan
(x) to the extent that after giving effect to such Swing Loan, the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Loans would exceed the Maximum Revolving Loan Balance and (y) during the period commencing on the first Business Day after it
receives notice from Agent or the Required Lenders that one or more of the conditions precedent contained in Section 2.2 are not satisfied and ending when such conditions are satisfied or duly waived. In connection with the making of any
Swing Loan, the Swingline Lender may but shall not be required to determine that, or take notice whether, the conditions precedent set forth in Section 2.2 have been satisfied or waived. Each Swing Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan and must
be repaid as provided herein, but in any event must be repaid in full on the Revolving Termination Date. Within the limits set forth in the first sentence of this clause (i), amounts of Swing Loans repaid may be reborrowed under this
clause (i). 

  
 6 








 (ii) Borrowing Procedures. In order to request a Swing Loan, the Borrower Representative
shall give to Agent a notice to be received not later than 2:00 p.m. on the day of the proposed Borrowing, which shall be made in a writing or in an Electronic Transmission substantially in the form of Exhibit 1.1(d) or in a writing in any
other form acceptable to Agent duly completed (a “Swingline Request”). In addition, if any Notice of Borrowing of Revolving Loans requests a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, the Swingline Lender may, notwithstanding anything else to the
contrary herein, make a Swing Loan to the Borrowers in an aggregate amount not to exceed such proposed Borrowing, and the aggregate amount of the corresponding proposed Borrowing shall be reduced accordingly by the principal amount of such Swing
Loan. Agent shall promptly notify the Swingline Lender of the details of the requested Swing Loan. Upon receipt of such notice and subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Swingline Lender may make a Swing Loan available to the Borrowers by
making the proceeds thereof available to Agent and, in turn, Agent shall make such proceeds available to the Borrowers on the date set forth in the relevant Swingline Request or Notice of Borrowing. 

(iii) Refinancing Swing Loans. 

(1) The Swingline Lender may at any time (and shall, no less frequently than once each week) forward a demand to Agent (which Agent shall,
upon receipt, forward to each Revolving Lender) that each Revolving Lender pay to Agent, for the account of the Swingline Lender, such Revolving Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the outstanding Swing Loans (as such amount may be increased
pursuant to Section 1.11(e)(ii)). 
 (2) Each Revolving Lender shall pay the amount owing by it to Agent for the account of the
Swingline Lender on the Business Day following receipt of the notice or demand therefor. Payments received by Agent after 1:00 p.m. may, in Agent’s discretion, be deemed to be received on the next Business Day. Upon receipt by Agent of such
payment (other than during the continuation of any Event of Default under Section 7.1(f) or 7.1(g)), such Revolving Lender shall be deemed to have made a Revolving Loan to the Borrowers, which, upon receipt of such payment by the
Swingline Lender from Agent, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have used in whole to refinance such Swing Loan. In addition, regardless of whether any such demand is made, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default under
Section 7.1(f) or 7.1(g), each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to have acquired, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in each Swing Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Commitment
Percentage of such Swing Loan. If any payment made by any Revolving Lender as a result of any such demand is not deemed a Revolving Loan, such payment shall be deemed a funding by such Lender of such participation. Such participation shall not be
otherwise required to be funded. Upon receipt by the Swingline Lender of any payment from any Revolving Lender pursuant to this clause (iii) with respect to any portion of any Swing Loan, the Swingline Lender shall promptly pay over to
such Revolving Lender all payments of principal (to the extent received after such payment by such Lender) and interest (to the extent accrued with respect to periods after such payment) on account of such Swing Loan received by the Swingline Lender
with respect to such portion. 
 (iv) Obligation to Fund Absolute. Each Revolving Lender’s obligations pursuant to clause
(iii) above shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and 

  
 7 








 
shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever, including (A) the existence of any setoff, claim, abatement,
recoupment, defense or other right that such Lender, any Affiliate thereof or any other Person may have against the Swingline Lender, Agent, any other Lender or L/C Issuer or any other Person, (B) the failure of any condition precedent set
forth in Section 2.2 to be satisfied or the failure of the Borrower Representative to deliver a Notice of Borrowing (each of which requirements the Revolving Lenders hereby irrevocably waive) and (C) any adverse change in the
condition (financial or otherwise) of any Credit Party. 
 (e) Incremental Facilities. 

(i) Requests. The Borrowers may, by written notice to Agent (each, an “Incremental Facility Request”), request increases in
the Revolving Loan Commitments (each, an “Incremental Facility” and the loans thereunder, “Incremental Revolving Loans”) in Dollars in an aggregate amount not to exceed $15,000,000 for all such Incremental Facilities; provided
that no commitment of any Lender shall be increased without the consent of such Lender. Such notice shall set forth (A) the amount of the Incremental Facility being requested (which shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 and multiples of
$100,000 in excess thereof (or if less any remaining unfunded amount of the Incremental Facility or such other lower amounts agreed to by Agent)), and (B) the date (an “Incremental Effective Date”) on which such Incremental Facility
is requested to become effective (which, unless otherwise agreed by Agent, shall not be less than ten (10) Business Days nor more than sixty (60) days after the date of such notice). Upon delivery of the applicable Incremental Facility
Request, such Incremental Facility shall be offered to any Lender and any other Person (provided such Person is permitted to become a Lender pursuant to Section 9.9 hereof), in each case, selected by the Borrowers and approved by the Agent
(which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). 
 (ii) Conditions. No Incremental Facility shall become effective
under this Section 1.1(e) unless (A) after giving effect to such Incremental Facility, the Loans to be made thereunder (and assuming that the entire amount of such Incremental Facility is funded), and the application of the proceeds
therefrom, no Default or Event of Default shall exist, and Agent shall have received a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Borrower Representative certifying as to the foregoing, (B) proceeds of such Incremental Facility are used solely
to provide for working capital, capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes of the Borrowers, and (C) Agent has provided prior consent to such Incremental Facility, not to be unreasonably withheld. 

(iii) Terms. Any Incremental Revolving Loans shall be on the same terms (as amended from time to time) (including all-in pricing and
maturity date) as, and pursuant to documentation applicable to, the initial Revolving Loans. 
 (iv) Required Amendments. Each of
the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Facility, this Agreement shall be amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence of such Incremental Facility and the Loans evidenced
thereby, and any joinder agreement or amendment may without the consent of the other Lenders effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of Agent, any Lender
providing 

  
 8 








 
such Incremental Facility, and Borrowers, to effectuate the provisions of this Section 1.1(e). From and after each Incremental Effective Date, the Loans and Commitments established pursuant
to this Section 1.1(e) shall constitute Loans and Commitments under, and shall be entitled to all the benefits afforded by, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and shall, without limiting the foregoing, benefit equally and ratably from
the guarantees and security interests created by the applicable Collateral Documents. The Credit Parties shall take any actions reasonably required by Agent to ensure and/or demonstrate that the Liens and security interests granted by the applicable
Collateral Documents continue to the extent required by the Collateral Documents to be perfected under the UCC or otherwise after giving effect to the establishment of any such new Loans and Commitments, including, without limitation, compliance
with Section 4.13(c). 
 1.2 Evidence of Loans; Notes. 

(a) The Revolving Loans made by each Revolving Lender are evidenced by this Agreement and, if requested by such Lender, a Revolving Note
payable to such Lender in an amount equal to such Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment. 
 (b) Swing Loans made by the Swingline Lender
are evidenced by this Agreement and, if requested by such Lender, a Swingline Note in an amount equal to the Swingline Commitment. 
 (c)
Promptly following the termination of this Agreement, at the reasonable request of Borrower Representative, each Lender with a Note shall return to Borrower Representative each Note issued to it, or in the case of any loss, theft or destruction of
any such Note, provide a lost note affidavit to Borrower Representative (including a customary indemnity reasonably satisfactory to Borrower Representative). 

1.3 Interest. 
 (a)
Subject to Sections 1.3(c) and 1.3(d), each Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the date when made at a rate per annum equal to LIBOR or the Base Rate, as the case may be, plus the
Applicable Margin; provided Swing Loans may not be LIBOR Rate Loans. Each determination of an interest rate by Agent shall be conclusive and binding on each Borrower and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error. All computations of fees and
interest (other than interest accruing on Base Rate Loans) payable under this Agreement shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed. All computations of interest accruing on Base Rate Loans payable under this Agreement shall
be made on the basis of a 365-day year (366 days in the case of a leap year) and actual days elapsed. Interest and fees shall accrue during each period during which interest or such fees are computed from the first day thereof to the last day
thereof. 
 (b) Interest on each Loan shall be paid in arrears on each Interest Payment Date. Interest shall also be paid on the date of any
payment or prepayment of Revolving Loans, including without limitation on the Revolving Termination Date. 
 (c) At the election of Agent or
the Required Lenders while any Event of Default exists (or automatically while any Event of Default under Section 7.1(a), 7.1(f) or 7.1(g)  

  
 9 








 
exists), the Borrowers shall pay interest (after as well as before entry of judgment thereon to the extent permitted by law) on the Loans under the Loan Documents from and after the date of
occurrence of such Event of Default, at a rate per annum which is determined by adding two percent (2.0%) per annum to the Applicable Margin then in effect for such Loans (plus LIBOR or the Base Rate, as the case may be). All such interest
shall be payable on demand of Agent or the Required Lenders. 
 (d) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of the
Borrowers hereunder shall be subject to the limitation that payments of interest shall not be required, for any period for which interest is computed hereunder, to the extent (but only to the extent) that contracting for or receiving such payment by
the respective Lender would be contrary to the provisions of any law applicable to such Lender limiting the highest rate of interest which may be lawfully contracted for, charged or received by such Lender, and in such event the Borrowers shall pay
such Lender interest at the highest rate permitted by applicable law (“Maximum Lawful Rate”); provided, however, that if at any time thereafter the rate of interest payable hereunder is less than the Maximum Lawful Rate, the Borrowers
shall continue to pay interest hereunder at the Maximum Lawful Rate until such time as the total interest received by Agent, on behalf of Lenders, is equal to the total interest that would have been received had the interest payable hereunder been
(but for the operation of this paragraph) the interest rate payable since the Closing Date as otherwise provided in this Agreement. 
 1.4
Loan Accounts. 
 (a) Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, shall record on its books and records the amount of each Loan made, the
interest rate applicable, all payments of principal and interest thereon and the principal balance thereof from time to time outstanding. Agent shall deliver to the Borrower Representative on a monthly basis a loan statement setting forth such
record for the immediately preceding calendar month. Such record shall, absent manifest error, be conclusive evidence of the amount of the Loans made by the Lenders to the Borrowers and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or
any error in doing so, or any failure to deliver such loan statement shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrowers hereunder (and under any Note) to pay any amount owing with respect to the Loans or provide the basis
for any claim against Agent. 
 (b) Agent, acting as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers solely for tax purposes and solely with respect
to the actions described in this Section 1.4(b), shall establish and maintain at its address referred to in Section 9.2 (or at such other address as Agent may notify the Borrower Representative) (A) a record of ownership
(the “Register”) in which Agent agrees to register by book entry the interests (including any rights to receive payment hereunder) of Agent, each Lender and each L/C Issuer in the Revolving Loans, Swing Loans, L/C Reimbursement
Obligations, and Letter of Credit Obligations, each of their obligations under this Agreement to participate in each Loan, Letter of Credit, Letter of Credit Obligations, and L/C Reimbursement Obligations, and any assignment of any such interest,
obligation or right and (B) accounts in the Register in accordance with its usual practice in which it shall record (1) the names and addresses of the Lenders and the L/C Issuers (and each change thereto pursuant to Sections 9.9 and
9.22), (2) the Commitments of each Lender, (3) the amount of each Loan and each funding of any participation described in clause (A) above, and for LIBOR Rate Loans, the 


  
 10 








 
Interest Period applicable thereto, (4) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or paid, (5) the amount of the L/C Reimbursement Obligations due and payable or paid in
respect of Letters of Credit and (6) any other payment received by Agent from a Borrower or other Credit Party and its application to the Obligations. 

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Loans (including any Notes evidencing such Loans and the
corresponding obligations to participate in Letter of Credit Obligations and Swing Loans) and the L/C Reimbursement Obligations are registered obligations, the right, title and interest of the Lenders and the L/C Issuers and their assignees in and
to such Loans or L/C Reimbursement Obligations, as the case may be, shall be transferable only upon notation of such transfer in the Register and no assignment thereof shall be effective until recorded therein. This Section 1.4 and
Section 9.9 shall be construed so that the Loans and L/C Reimbursement Obligations are at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code. 

(d) The Credit Parties, Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender or
L/C Issuer, as applicable, for all purposes of this Agreement. Information contained in the Register with respect to any Lender or any L/C Issuer shall be available for access by the Borrowers, the Borrower Representative, Agent, such Lender or such
L/C Issuer during normal business hours and from time to time upon at least one Business Day’s prior notice. No Lender or L/C Issuer shall, in such capacity, have access to or be otherwise permitted to review any information in the
Register other than information with respect to such Lender or L/C Issuer unless otherwise agreed by Agent. 
 1.5 Procedure for
Revolving Credit Borrowing. 
 (a) Each Borrowing of a Revolving Loan shall be made upon the Borrower Representative’s irrevocable
(subject to Section 10.5) written notice delivered to Agent substantially in the form of a Notice of Borrowing or in a writing in any other form acceptable to Agent, which notice must be received by Agent prior to 2:00 p.m. (i) on
the date which is three (3) Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing date in the case of each LIBOR Rate Loan, and (ii) on the date which is one (1) Business Day prior to the requested Borrowing date of each Base Rate Loan. Such
Notice of Borrowing shall specify: 
 (i) the amount of the Borrowing (which shall be in an aggregate minimum principal amount of $100,000)
(other than Borrowings made in connection with a reimbursement of L/C Reimbursement Obligations or Swing Loans); 
 (ii) the requested
Borrowing date, which shall be a Business Day; 
 (iii) whether the Borrowing is to be comprised of LIBOR Rate Loans or Base Rate Loans;
and 
 (iv) if the Borrowing is to be LIBOR Rate Loans, the Interest Period applicable to such Loans. 

  
 11 








 (b) Upon receipt of a Notice of Borrowing, Agent will promptly notify each Revolving Lender of
such Notice of Borrowing and of the amount of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the Borrowing. 
 (c) Unless Agent is otherwise
directed in writing by the Borrower Representative, the proceeds of each requested Borrowing after the Closing Date will be made available to the Borrowers by Agent by wire transfer of such amount to the Borrowers pursuant to the wire transfer
instructions specified on the signature page hereto. 
 1.6 Conversion and Continuation Elections. 

(a) The Borrowers shall have the option to (i) request that any Revolving Loan be made as a LIBOR Rate Loan, (ii) convert at any
time all or any part of outstanding Loans (other than Swing Loans) from Base Rate Loans to LIBOR Rate Loans, (iii) convert any LIBOR Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan, subject to Section 10.4 if such conversion is made prior to the
expiration of the Interest Period applicable thereto, or (iv) continue all or any portion of any Loan as a LIBOR Rate Loan upon the expiration of the applicable Interest Period. Any Loan or group of Loans having the same proposed Interest
Period to be made or continued as, or converted into, a LIBOR Rate Loan must be in a minimum amount of $100,000. Any such election must be made by Borrower Representative by 2:00 p.m. on the third Business Day prior to (1) the date of any
proposed Revolving Loan which is to bear interest at LIBOR, (2) the end of each Interest Period with respect to any LIBOR Rate Loans to be continued as such, or (3) the date on which the Borrowers wish to convert any Base Rate Loan to a
LIBOR Rate Loan for an Interest Period designated by the Borrower Representative in such election. If no election is received with respect to a LIBOR Rate Loan by 2:00 p.m. on the third Business Day prior to the end of the Interest Period with
respect thereto, that LIBOR Rate Loan shall be converted to a Base Rate Loan at the end of its Interest Period. The Borrower Representative must make such election by notice to Agent in writing, including by Electronic Transmission (or by telephone
to be confirmed in writing on such day). In the case of any conversion or continuation, such election must be made pursuant to a written notice (a “Notice of Conversion/Continuation”) substantially in the form of Exhibit 1.6 or in a
writing in any other form acceptable to Agent. No Loan shall be made, converted into or continued as a LIBOR Rate Loan, if the conditions to Loans and Letters of Credit in Section 2.2 are not met at the time of such proposed conversion
or continuation and Agent or Required Lenders have determined not to make or continue any Loan as a LIBOR Rate Loan as a result thereof. 

(b) Upon receipt of a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, Agent will promptly notify each Lender thereof. In addition, Agent will, with
reasonable promptness, notify the Borrower Representative and the Lenders of each determination of LIBOR; provided that any failure to do so shall not relieve any Borrower of any liability hereunder or provide the basis for any claim against Agent.
All conversions and continuations shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Loans held by each Lender with respect to which the notice was given. 

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement, after giving effect to any Borrowing, or to any continuation or
conversion of any Loans, there shall not be more than five (5) different Interest Periods in effect at any time.

 1.7 Optional Prepayments; Reductions in Revolving Loan Commitments. 

(a) Optional Prepayments; Reductions in Revolving Loan Commitments. 

(i) Borrowers may, at any time upon at least two (2) Business Days’ (or such shorter period as is acceptable to Agent) prior notice
by the Borrower Representative to Agent, prepay the Revolving Loan in whole or in part in an amount greater than or equal to $100,000 (or, if less, the then outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loan), in each instance, without penalty or
premium except as provided in Section 10.4. Optional partial prepayments of the Revolving Loan in amounts less than $100,000 shall not be permitted. 

(ii) Borrowers may at any time upon at least two (2) Business Days’ (or such shorter period as is acceptable to Agent) prior notice
by the Borrower Representative to Agent, without premium or penalty except as provided in Section 10.4, permanently reduce the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment; provided that (i) such reductions shall be in an amount greater than
or equal to $5,000,000, and (ii) after giving effect to such reduction, Availability shall be not less than 10% of the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment as so reduced. All reductions of the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment shall be
allocated pro rata among all Lenders with a Revolving Loan Commitment. A permanent reduction of the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment shall require a corresponding pro rata reduction in the L/C Sublimit or the Swingline Commitment. 

(b) Notices. Notice of commitment reduction pursuant to clause (a) above shall not thereafter be revocable by the Borrowers or the
Borrower Representative and Agent will promptly notify each Lender thereof and of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of such reduction. The payment amount specified in a notice of reduction shall be due and payable on the date specified
therein. Together with each prepayment under this Section 1.7, the Borrowers shall pay any amounts required pursuant to Sections 1.9 and 10.4. 

1.8 Mandatory Payments of Loans. 

The Borrowers shall repay to the Lenders in full on the date specified in clause (a) of the definition of “Revolving
Termination Date” the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Loans and Swing Loans outstanding on the Revolving Termination Date. 

1.9 Fees. 
 (a)
Fees. The Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for Agent’s own account, fees in the amounts and at the times set forth in the Fee Letter. 

(b) Unused Commitment Fee. The Borrowers shall pay to Agent a fee (the “Unused Commitment Fee”) for the account of
each Revolving Lender in an amount equal to: 
 (i) the average daily balance of the Revolving Loan Commitment of such Revolving Lender
during the preceding calendar month, less 
 (ii) the sum of (x) the average daily balance of all Revolving Loans held by such
Revolving Lender plus (y) the average daily amount of Letter of Credit Obligations 

  
 13 








 
held by such Revolving Lender, plus (z) in the case of the Swingline Lender, the average daily balance of all outstanding Swing Loans held by such Swingline Lender, in each case, during the
preceding calendar month; provided, in no event shall the amount computed pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) be less than zero, 

(iii) multiplied by the Applicable Unused Line Fee. 

The total fee paid by the Borrowers will be equal to the sum of all of the Unused Commitment Fee due to the Lenders, subject to
Section 1.11(e)(vi). Such fee shall be payable monthly in arrears on the first (1st) day of each calendar month following the date hereof. The Unused Commitment Fee provided in
this Section 1.9(b) shall accrue at all times from and after the execution and delivery of this Agreement. For purposes of this Section 1.9(b), the Revolving Loan Commitment of any Non-Funding Lender shall be deemed to be
zero. 
 (c) Letter of Credit Fee. The Borrowers agree to pay to Agent for the ratable benefit of the Revolving Lenders, as
compensation to such Lenders for Letter of Credit Obligations incurred hereunder, (i) without duplication of costs and expenses otherwise payable to Agent or Lenders hereunder or fees otherwise paid by the Borrowers, all reasonable and
documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Agent or any Lender on account of such Letter of Credit Obligations, and (ii) for each calendar month during which any Letter of Credit Obligation shall remain outstanding, a fee (the
“Letter of Credit Fee”) in an amount equal to the product of the average daily undrawn face amount of all Letters of Credit Issued, guaranteed or supported by risk participation agreements multiplied by a per annum rate equal to the
Applicable Margin with respect to Revolving Loans which are LIBOR Rate Loans; provided, however, at Agent’s or Required Lenders’ option, while an Event of Default exists (or automatically while an Event of Default under
Section 7.1(a), 7.1(f) or 7.1(g) exists), such rate shall be increased by two percent (2.00%) per annum. Such fee shall be paid to Agent for the benefit of the Revolving Lenders in arrears, on the first day of each
calendar month and on the date on which all L/C Reimbursement Obligations have been discharged. In addition, the Borrowers shall pay to Agent, any L/C Issuer or any prospective L/C Issuer, as appropriate, on demand, such L/C Issuer’s or
prospective L/C Issuer’s reasonable and customary fees at then prevailing rates, without duplication of fees otherwise payable hereunder (including all per annum fees), charges and expenses of such L/C Issuer or prospective L/C Issuer in
respect of the application for, and the Issuance, negotiation, acceptance, amendment, transfer and payment of, each Letter of Credit or otherwise payable pursuant to the application and related documentation under which such Letter of Credit is
Issued. 
 1.10 Payments by the Borrowers. 

(a) All payments (including prepayments) to be made by each Credit Party on account of principal, interest, fees and other amounts required
hereunder shall be made without set-off, recoupment, counterclaim or deduction of any kind, shall, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, be made to Agent (for the ratable account of the Persons
entitled thereto) at the address for payment specified in the signature page hereof in relation to Agent (or such other address as Agent may from time to time specify in accordance with Section 9.2), including payments utilizing the ACH
system, and shall be made in Dollars and by wire transfer or ACH transfer in immediately available funds (which shall be the exclusive means of payment 

  
 14 








 
hereunder), no later than 1:00 p.m. on the date due. Any payment which is received by Agent later than 1:00 p.m. may in Agent’s discretion be deemed to have been received on the immediately
succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. Each Borrower and each other Credit Party hereby irrevocably waives the right to direct the application during the continuance of an Event of Default of any and all
payments in respect of any Obligation and any proceeds of Collateral. Each Borrower hereby authorizes Agent and each Lender to make a Revolving Loan (which shall be a Base Rate Loan and which may be a Swing Loan) to pay (i) interest, principal
(including Swing Loans), L/C Reimbursement Obligations, agent fees, Unused Commitment Fees and Letter of Credit Fees, in each instance, to the extent not paid on the date due, or (ii) after five (5) days’ prior notice to the Borrower
Representative, other fees, costs or expenses payable by a Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries hereunder or under the other Loan Documents. 

(b) Subject to the provisions set forth in the definition of “Interest Period” herein, if any payment hereunder shall be stated to
be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest or fees, as the case may be. 

(c) During the continuance of an Event of Default, Agent may, and shall upon the direction of Required Lenders, apply any and all payments
received by Agent in respect of any Obligation in accordance with clauses first through sixth below. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, all amounts collected or received by Agent after any or all of the Obligations have been
accelerated (so long as such acceleration has not been rescinded), and all proceeds received by Agent as a result of the exercise of its remedies under the Collateral Documents after the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, shall be
applied as follows: 
 first, to payment of costs and expenses, including Attorney Costs, of Agent payable or
reimbursable by the Credit Parties under the Loan Documents; 
 second, to payment of Attorney Costs of Lenders
payable or reimbursable by the Borrowers under this Agreement; 
 third, to payment of all accrued unpaid interest on
the Obligations (other than Bank Product Obligations) and fees owed to Agent, Lenders and L/C Issuers; 
 fourth, to
payment of principal of the Obligations including, without limitation, L/C Reimbursement Obligations then due and payable, any Obligations under any Secured Rate Contract and cash collateralization of unmatured L/C Reimbursement Obligations
to the extent not then due and payable, but excluding Bank Product Obligations; 
 fifth, to payment of any other
amounts owing constituting Obligations (including Bank Product Obligations); and 
 sixth, any remainder shall be for
the account of and paid to whoever may be lawfully entitled thereto. 

  
 15 








 In carrying out the foregoing, (i) amounts received shall be applied in the numerical order
provided until exhausted prior to the application to the next succeeding category, (ii) each of the Lenders or other Persons entitled to payment shall receive an amount equal to its pro rata share of amounts available to be applied pursuant to
clauses third, fourth and fifth above and (iii) no payments by a Guarantor and no proceeds of Collateral of a Guarantor shall be applied to Excluded Rate Contract Obligations of such Guarantor. 

1.11 Payments by the Lenders to Agent; Settlement. 

(a) Agent may, on behalf of Lenders, disburse funds to the Borrowers for Loans requested. Each Lender shall reimburse Agent on demand for all
funds disbursed on its behalf by Agent, or if Agent so requests, each Lender will remit to Agent its Commitment Percentage of any Loan before Agent disburses same to the Borrowers. If Agent elects to require that each Lender make funds available to
Agent prior to disbursement by Agent to the Borrowers, Agent shall advise each Lender by telephone or fax of the amount of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the Loan requested by the Borrower Representative no later than the Business Day
prior to (or, in the case of same-day Borrowings, on) the scheduled Borrowing date applicable thereto, and each such Lender shall pay Agent such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of such requested Loan, in same day funds, by wire transfer to
Agent’s account, as set forth on Agent’s signature page hereto, no later than 1:00 p.m. on such scheduled Borrowing date. Nothing in this Section 1.11(a) or elsewhere in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, including the
remaining provisions of Section 1.11, shall be deemed to require Agent to advance funds on behalf of any Lender or to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights that Agent, any
Lender or the Borrowers may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder. 
 (b) At least once each calendar
week or more frequently at Agent’s election (each, a “Settlement Date”), Agent shall advise each Lender by telephone or fax of the amount of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of principal, interest and Fees paid for the benefit
of Lenders with respect to each applicable Loan. Agent shall pay to each Lender such Lender’s Commitment Percentage (except as otherwise provided in Section 1.1(c)(vi), Section 1.11(e) and Section 9.9(g)) of
principal, interest and fees paid by the Borrowers since the previous Settlement Date for the benefit of such Lender on the Loans held by it. Such payments shall be made by wire transfer to such Lender not later than 2:00 p.m. on the next Business
Day following each Settlement Date. 
 (c) Availability of Lender’s Commitment Percentage. Agent may assume that each Revolving
Lender will make its Commitment Percentage of each Revolving Loan available to Agent on each Borrowing date. If such Commitment Percentage is not, in fact, paid to Agent by such Revolving Lender when due, Agent will be entitled to recover such
amount on demand from such Revolving Lender without setoff, counterclaim or deduction of any kind. If any Revolving Lender fails to pay the amount of its Commitment Percentage forthwith upon Agent’s demand, Agent shall promptly notify the
Borrower Representative and the Borrowers shall immediately repay such amount to Agent. Nothing in this Section 1.11(c) shall be deemed to require Agent to advance funds on behalf of any Revolving Lender or to relieve any Revolving


  
 16 








 
Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights that the Borrowers may have against any Revolving Lender as a result of any default by such Revolving
Lender hereunder. Without limiting the provisions of Section 1.11(b), to the extent that Agent advances funds to the Borrowers on behalf of any Revolving Lender and is not reimbursed therefor on the same Business Day as such advance is
made, Agent shall be entitled to retain for its account all interest accrued on such advance from the date such advance was made until reimbursed by the applicable Revolving Lender. 

(d) Return of Payments. 

(i) If Agent pays an amount to a Lender under this Agreement in the belief or expectation that a related payment has been or will be received
by Agent from the Borrowers and such related payment is not received by Agent, then Agent will be entitled to recover such amount from such Lender on demand without setoff, counterclaim or deduction of any kind. 

(ii) If Agent determines at any time that any amount received by Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document must be returned to
any Credit Party or paid to any other Person pursuant to any insolvency law or otherwise, then, notwithstanding any other term or condition of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Agent will not be required to distribute any portion thereof to
any Lender. In addition, each Lender will repay to Agent on demand any portion of such amount that Agent has distributed to such Lender, together with interest at such rate, if any, as Agent is required to pay to any Borrower or such other Person,
without setoff, counterclaim or deduction of any kind, and Agent will be entitled to set-off against future distributions to such Lender any such amounts (with interest) that are not repaid on demand. 

(e) Non-Funding Lenders; Procedures. 

(i) Responsibility. The failure of any Non-Funding Lender to make any Revolving Loan, Letter of Credit Obligation or any payment
required by it, or to make any payment required by it under any Loan Document, or to fund any purchase of any participation to be made or funded by it (including, without limitation, with respect to any Swing Loan) on the date specified therefor
shall not relieve any other Lender (each such other Revolving Lender, an “Other Lender”) of its obligations to make such loan, fund the purchase of any such participation, or make any other such required payment on such date, and neither
Agent nor, other than as expressly set forth herein, any Other Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any Non-Funding Lender to make a loan, fund the purchase of a participation or make any other required payment under any Loan Document.

 (ii) Reallocation. If any Revolving Lender is a Non-Funding Lender or Impacted Lender, all or a portion of such Non-Funding
Lender’s or Impacted Lender’s Letter of Credit Obligations (unless such Non-Funding Lender or such Impacted Lender is the L/C Issuer that Issued such Letter of Credit) and reimbursement obligations with respect to Swing Loans shall, at
Borrower Representative’s or Agent’s election at any time or upon any L/C Issuer’s or Swingline Lender’s, as applicable, written request delivered to Agent (whether before or after the occurrence of any Default or Event of
Default), be reallocated to and assumed by the Revolving Lenders that are not Non-Funding Lenders or Impacted Lenders pro rata in accordance with their Commitment Percentages of the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment


  
 17 








 
(calculated as if the Non-Funding Lender’s or Impacted Lender’s Commitment Percentage was reduced to zero and each other Revolving Lender’s (other than any other Non-Funding
Lender’s or Impacted Lender’s) Commitment Percentage had been increased proportionately), provided that no Revolving Lender shall be reallocated any such amounts or be required to fund any amounts that would cause the sum of its
outstanding Revolving Loans, outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations, amounts of its participations in Swing Loans and its pro rata share of unparticipated amounts in Swing Loans to exceed its Revolving Loan Commitment. 

(iii) Voting Rights. Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, including Section 9.1, a Non-Funding
Lender or Impacted Lender, as applicable, shall not have any voting or consent rights under or with respect to any Loan Document or constitute a “Lender” or a “Revolving Lender” (or be, or have its Loans and Commitments, included
in the determination of “Required Lenders” or “Lenders directly and adversely affected” pursuant to Section 9.1) for any voting or consent rights under or with respect to any Loan Document, provided that (A) the
Commitment of such Non-Funding Lender or Impacted Lender may not be increased, extended or reinstated, (B) the principal of a Non-Funding Lender’s or Impacted Lender’s Loans may not be reduced or forgiven, and (C) the interest
rate applicable to Obligations owing to such Non-Funding Lender or Impacted Lender may not be reduced in such a manner that by its terms affects such Non-Funding Lender or Impacted Lender more adversely than other Lenders, in each case without the
consent of such Non-Funding Lender or Impacted Lender, as applicable. Moreover, for the purposes of determining Required Lenders, the Loans, Letter of Credit Obligations, and Commitments held by Non-Funding Lenders or Impacted Lenders shall be
excluded from the total Loans and Commitments outstanding. 
 (iv) Borrower Payments to a Non-Funding Lender. Agent shall be
authorized to use all payments received by Agent for the benefit of any Non-Funding Lender pursuant to this Agreement to pay in full the Aggregate Excess Funding Amount to the appropriate Secured Parties. Following such payment in full of the
Aggregate Excess Funding Amount, Agent shall be entitled to hold such funds as cash collateral in a non-interest bearing account up to an amount equal to such Non-Funding Lender’s unfunded Revolving Loan Commitment and to use such amount to pay
such Non-Funding Lender’s funding obligations hereunder until the Obligations are paid in full in cash, all Letter of Credit Obligations have been discharged or cash collateralized and all Commitments have been terminated. Upon any such
unfunded obligations owing by a Non-Funding Lender becoming due and payable, Agent shall be authorized to use such cash collateral to make such payment on behalf of such Non-Funding Lender. With respect to such Non-Funding Lender’s failure to
fund Revolving Loans or purchase participations in Letters of Credit or Letter of Credit Obligations, any amounts applied by Agent to satisfy such funding shortfalls shall be deemed to constitute a Revolving Loan or amount of the participation
required to be funded and, if necessary to effectuate the foregoing, the other Revolving Lenders shall be deemed to have sold, and such Non-Funding Lender shall be deemed to have purchased, Revolving Loans or Letter of Credit participation interests
from the other Revolving Lenders until such time as the aggregate amount of the Revolving Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Letter of Credit Obligations are held by the Revolving Lenders in accordance with their Commitment
Percentages of the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment. Any amounts owing by a Non-Funding Lender to Agent which are not paid when due shall accrue interest at the interest rate applicable during such period to Revolving Loans that are Base Rate
Loans. In the event that Agent is holding cash collateral of a Non-Funding 

  
 18 








 
Lender that cures pursuant to clause (v) below or ceases to be a Non-Funding Lender pursuant to the definition of Non-Funding Lender, Agent shall return the unused portion of such
cash collateral to such Lender. The “Aggregate Excess Funding Amount” of a Non-Funding Lender shall be the aggregate amount of (A) all unpaid obligations owing by such Lender to Agent, L/C Issuers, Swingline Lender, and other Lenders
under the Loan Documents, including such Lender’s pro rata share of all Revolving Loans, Letter of Credit Obligations and Swing Loans, plus, without duplication, (B) all amounts of such Non-Funding Lender’s Letter of Credit
Obligations and reimbursement obligations with respect to Swing Loans reallocated to other Lenders pursuant to Section 1.11(e)(ii). 

(v) Cure. A Lender may cure its status as a Non-Funding Lender under clause (a) of the definition of Non-Funding Lender if such
Lender (A) fully pays to Agent, on behalf of the applicable Secured Parties, the Aggregate Excess Funding Amount, plus all interest due thereon and (B) timely funds the next Revolving Loan required to be funded by such Lender or makes the
next reimbursement required to be made by such Lender. Any such cure shall not relieve any Lender from liability for breaching its contractual obligations hereunder. 

(vi) Fees. A Lender that is a Non-Funding Lender pursuant to clause (a) of the definition of Non-Funding Lender shall not earn
and shall not be entitled to receive, and the Borrowers shall not be required to pay, such Lender’s portion of the Unused Commitment Fee during the time such Lender is a Non-Funding Lender pursuant to clause (a) thereof. In the event that
any reallocation of Letter of Credit Obligations occurs pursuant to Section 1.11(e)(ii), during the period of time that such reallocation remains in effect, the Letter of Credit Fee payable with respect to such reallocated portion shall
be payable to (A) all Revolving Lenders based on their pro rata share of such reallocation or (B) to the L/C Issuer for any remaining portion not reallocated to any other Revolving Lenders. 

(f) Procedures. Agent is hereby authorized by each Credit Party and each other Secured Party to establish procedures (and to amend such
procedures from time to time) to facilitate administration and servicing of the Loans and other matters incidental thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Agent is hereby authorized to establish procedures to make available or
deliver, or to accept, notices, documents and similar items on, by posting to or submitting and/or completion on, E-Systems. 
 1.12
Borrower Representative. NxStage hereby (i) is designated and appointed by each Borrower as its representative and agent on its behalf (the “Borrower Representative”) and (ii) accepts such appointment as the Borrower
Representative, in each case, for the purposes of issuing Notices of Borrowings, Notices of Conversion//Continuation, L/C Requests and Swingline Requests, delivering certificates including Compliance Certificates and Borrowing Base Certificates,
giving instructions with respect to the disbursement of the proceeds of the Loans, selecting interest rate options, giving and receiving all other notices and consents hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents and taking all other actions
(including in respect of compliance with covenants) on behalf of any Borrower, the Borrowers, any Credit Party or the Credit Parties under the Loan Documents. Agent and each Lender may regard any notice or other communication pursuant to any Loan
Document from the Borrower Representative as a notice or communication from all Credit Parties. Each warranty, covenant, agreement and undertaking made on behalf of a Credit Party by the Borrower Representative 

  
 19 








 
shall be deemed for all purposes to have been made by such Credit Party and shall be binding upon and enforceable against such Credit Party to the same extent as if the same had been made
directly by such Credit Party. 
 1.13 Eligible Accounts. All of the Accounts owned by each Borrower and properly reflected as
“Eligible Accounts” in the most recent Borrowing Base Certificate delivered by Borrower Representative to Agent shall be “Eligible Accounts” for purposes of this Agreement, except any Account to which any of the exclusionary

time. Each notice under Section 4.3(a) shall describe with particularity any and all clauses or provisions of this Agreement or other Loan Document that have been breached or violated. 

4.4 Preservation of Corporate Existence, Etc. Each Credit Party shall, and shall cause each of its Domestic Subsidiaries to: 

(a) preserve and maintain in full force and effect (i) its organizational existence and (ii) its good standing under the laws of its
jurisdiction of incorporation, organization or formation, as applicable, except as permitted by Section 5.2 and Section 5.3; 

(b) preserve and maintain in full force and effect all rights, privileges, qualifications, permits, licenses and franchises necessary in the
normal conduct of its business except as permitted by Sections 5.2 and 5.3 and except as would not reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect; 

(c) preserve or renew all of its registered Trademarks, the non-preservation of which would reasonably
be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect; and 
 (d) (i) conduct its business and affairs
without infringement of or interference with any material Intellectual Property of any other Person in any material respect, (ii) shall comply in all material respects with the terms of its Patent Licenses that are material to the business of
the Credit Parties, taken as a whole, and (ii) shall comply in all respects with the terms of its IP Licenses, other than Patent Licenses, except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 4.5 Maintenance of Property. Each Credit Party shall maintain, and shall cause each of its Domestic Subsidiaries to maintain, and
preserve all its Property which is used or useful in its business in good working order and condition, ordinary wear and tear and casualty and condemnation events excepted and shall make all necessary repairs thereto and renewals and replacements
thereof except, in each case, where the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. 

4.6 Insurance. 
 (a) Each
Credit Party shall, and shall cause each of its Domestic Subsidiaries to, (i) maintain or cause to be maintained in full force and effect all policies of insurance of any kind with respect to the Property and businesses of the Credit Parties
and such Domestic Subsidiaries (including policies of life, fire, theft, product liability, public liability, Flood Insurance, property damage, other casualty, employee fidelity, workers’ compensation, business interruption and employee health
and welfare insurance) with financially sound and reputable insurance companies or associations (in each case that are not Affiliates of the Borrowers) of a nature and providing such coverage as is sufficient and as is customarily carried by
businesses of the size and character of the business of the Credit Parties and (ii) cause all such insurance 

  
 47 








 
relating to any Property or business of any Credit Party to name Agent as additional insured or lenders loss payee as agent for the Lenders, as appropriate. All policies of insurance on real and
personal Property of the Credit Parties will contain an endorsement, in form and substance acceptable to Agent, showing loss payable to Agent (Form CP 1218 or equivalent and naming Agent as lenders loss payee as agent for the Lenders) and extra
expense and business interruption endorsements. Such endorsement, or an independent instrument furnished to Agent, will provide that the insurance companies will give Agent at least thirty 30 days’ prior written notice (or ten (10) days in
the case of nonpayment of premium) before any such policy or policies of insurance shall be canceled, and such policies shall provide that no act or default of the Credit Parties or any other Person shall affect the right of Agent to recover under
such policy or policies of insurance in case of loss or damage. Each Credit Party shall direct all present and future insurers under its “All Risk” policies of property insurance to pay all proceeds payable thereunder, if an Event of
Default has occurred or if there are any Loans outstanding, directly to Agent. If any insurance proceeds are paid by check, draft or other instrument payable to any Credit Party and Agent jointly, Agent may endorse such Credit Party’s name
thereon and do such other things as Agent may deem advisable to reduce the same to cash. Agent reserves the right at any time, upon review of each Credit Party’s risk profile, to reasonably require additional forms and limits of insurance if
required to satisfy the requirements otherwise provided in this Section 4.6(a). Notwithstanding the requirement in clause (i) above, Federal Flood Insurance shall not be required for (x) Real Estate not located in a Special Flood
Hazard Area,(y) Real Estate located in a Special Flood Hazard Area in a community that does not participate in the National Flood Insurance Program or (z) any real Property that is not encumbered by a Mortgage. 

(b) Unless the Credit Parties provide Agent with evidence of the insurance coverage required by this Agreement (including, without limitation,
Flood Insurance), Agent may, upon five (5) Business Days written notice to Borrower Representative, purchase insurance (including, without limitation, Flood Insurance) at the Credit Parties’ expense to protect Agent’s and
Lenders’ interests in the Credit Parties’ and their Domestic Subsidiaries’ properties. This insurance may, but need not, protect the Credit Parties’ and their Domestic Subsidiaries’ interests. The coverage that Agent
purchases may not pay any claim that any Credit Party or any Domestic Subsidiary of any Credit Party makes or any claim that is made against such Credit Party or any Domestic Subsidiary in connection with said Property. The Credit Parties may later
cancel any insurance purchased by Agent, but only after providing Agent with evidence that there has been obtained insurance as required by this Agreement. If Agent purchases insurance, the Credit Parties will be responsible for the costs of that
insurance, including interest and any other charges Agent may impose in connection with the placement of insurance, until the effective date of the cancellation or expiration of the insurance. The costs of the insurance shall be added to the
Obligations. The costs of the insurance may be more than the cost of insurance the Credit Parties may be able to obtain on their own. 
 4.7
Payment of Obligations. Each Credit Party shall, and shall cause each of its Domestic Subsidiaries to, pay, discharge and perform as the same shall become due and payable or required to be performed: 

(a) all federal and state income taxes and all other material tax liabilities, assessments and governmental charges or levies upon it or its
Property, unless the same are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently prosecuted which stay the filing or enforcement of any Lien and for which adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP are being maintained by such
Person. 

  
 48 








 (b) all material lawful claims which, if unpaid, would by law become a Lien (other than a
Permitted Lien) upon its Property unless the same are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently prosecuted which stay the imposition or enforcement of any Lien and for which adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP are
being maintained by such Person; 
 (c) the performance of all obligations under any Contractual Obligation to such Credit Party or any of
its Domestic Subsidiaries is bound (other than obligations with respect to Indebtedness), or to which it or any of its Property is subject, except where the failure to perform would not reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the
aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect; and 
 (d) payments to the extent necessary to avoid the imposition of a Lien with respect to, or the
involuntary termination of any underfunded Benefit Plan. 
 4.8 Compliance with Laws. Each Credit Party shall, and shall cause each
of its Domestic Subsidiaries to, comply with all Requirements of Law, including Public Health Laws and Health Care Laws, and Permits (including without limitation, all Registrations) of any Governmental Authority, and all lawful requests of such
Governmental Authorities having jurisdiction over it, its business or its Products, except where such failures to comply would not reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. 

4.9 Inspection of Property and Books and Records; Appraisals. Each Credit Party shall, and shall cause each of its Domestic
Subsidiaries to, with respect to each owned, leased, or controlled property, during normal business hours and upon reasonable advance notice (unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, in which event no notice shall be
required and Agent shall have access at any and all times during the continuance thereof): (a) provide access to such property to Agent and any of its Related Persons, as frequently as Agent reasonably determines to be appropriate; and
(b) permit Agent and any of its Related Persons to conduct field examinations, audit, inspect and make extracts and copies from all of such Credit Party’s books and records, and evaluate and make physical verifications of the Inventory and
other Collateral in any manner and through any medium that Agent considers advisable, in each instance, at the Credit Parties’ expense; provided that the Credit Parties shall only be obligated to reimburse Agent for the expenses for two
(or more frequently at any time during such Fiscal Year Average Availability is or has been less than $5,000,000) such field examinations, audits and inspections per year or more frequently if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;
provided further that, Agent and Lenders shall have no right to access protected health information. Any Lender may accompany Agent or its Related Persons in connection with any inspection at such Lender’s expense. 

4.10 Use of Proceeds. The Borrowers shall use the proceeds of the Loans solely as follows: (a) first, to refinance on the Closing
Date, Prior Indebtedness, (b) to pay costs and expenses required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.1(e), and (c) for working capital, capital

securities intermediary or commodities intermediary to enter into, Control Agreements with respect to each of its deposit, securities, commodity or similar accounts maintained by such Person (other than any Excluded Account) as of or after the
Closing Date; provided, that the Credit Parties shall enter into, and cause each applicable depository to enter into, a “sweep” agreement (a “Sweep Agreement”) with respect to each Kidney Care Account pursuant to
which such depository will agree to sweep amounts deposited therein on a daily basis to a deposit account of the Credit Parties subject to a Control Agreement in favor of the Agent as and when funds clear and become available in accordance with such
depository’s customary procedures, each in form and substance substantially similar to the Sweep Agreements in effect on the Closing Date or as otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Agent; provided, further, that the aggregate
amount on deposit in all such Kidney Care Accounts at the end of any Business Day after being swept in accordance with this Section 4.11(a), together with the aggregate amount on deposit in all petty cash accounts of the type described
in clause (iv) of the definition of “Excluded Account” does not exceed $250,000 at any one time as of or after the Closing Date. 

(b) In addition, in order to segregate and to facilitate perfection of the Agent’s security interest in funds received from Governmental
Payors making payments under Medicare or Medicaid, if any, the Credit Parties agree that the Credit Parties shall (a) segregate collections made from Governmental Payors making payments under Medicare or Medicaid, from collections made from all
other Account Debtors and customers of the applicable Credit Parties, including, without limitation, by (i) notifying all payors (other than Governmental Payors making payments under Medicare or Medicaid) then instructed to make payments to
such Credit Parties’ deposit accounts to make payments to a deposit account subject to a Control Agreement, and (ii) notifying all Governmental Payors making payments under Medicare or Medicaid to make payments to a Segregated Governmental
Account, and (b) enter into, and cause each applicable depository to enter into, a Sweep Agreement with respect to each Segregated Governmental Account pursuant to which such depository will agree to sweep amounts deposited therein on a daily
basis to a deposit account of the Credit Parties subject to a Control Agreement in favor of the Agent as and when funds clear and become available in accordance with such depository’s customary procedures, each in form and substance
substantially similar to the Sweep Agreements in effect on the Closing Date or as otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Agent. No Credit Party may change any sweep instruction set forth in such Sweep Agreement without the prior written consent of
the Agent. To the extent any Person, whether a Governmental Payor or otherwise, remits payments to an incorrect deposit account or otherwise makes payments not in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4.11 or an applicable
Credit Party’s payment direction, such Credit Party shall contact such Person and use its commercially reasonable efforts to redirect payment from such Person in accordance with the terms hereof. The Agent agrees and confirms that Credit
Parties will have sole dominion and “control” (within the meaning of Section 9-104 of the UCC and the common law) over each Segregated Governmental Account and all funds therein and the Agent disclaims any right of any nature
whatsoever to control or otherwise direct or make any claim against the funds held in any Segregated Governmental Account from time to time. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this clause (b), the Kidney Care Accounts shall not be
subject to this clause (b).

“Lockbox Bank”), and establish and maintain a deposit account (each, a “Lockbox Account”) maintained at the Lockbox Bank that corresponds to the Lockbox and into which all collections of Accounts are paid directly, and execute a
lockbox agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Agent. To the extent that any Credit Party receives any payments with respect to Accounts by electronic payment, on or after the Closing Date and continuing until the Revolving Termination
Date, each Credit Party shall establish and maintain a deposit account (the “Operating Account”) with a depository institution reasonably acceptable to Agent into which all collections of Accounts that are paid electronically are paid
directly. Each Credit Party shall ensure that substantially all collections of Accounts are paid directly from Account Debtors into such Credit Party’s Lockbox for deposit into the corresponding Lockbox Account (in the case of payments not made
electronically) and into the Operating Account (in the case of payments made electronically). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this clause (c), the Excluded Accounts and amounts received for deposit into such accounts shall not
be subject to this clause (c).

included in any of the foregoing, projections, budgets, forward looking statements or estimates as to future events are inherently uncertain and are not to be viewed as facts and that the actual results during the period or periods covered by such
projections, budgets, forward looking statements or estimates may differ from the projected results. 
 (b) Promptly upon request by Agent,
the Credit Parties shall (and, subject to the limitations set forth herein and in the Collateral Documents, shall cause each of their Domestic Subsidiaries to) take such additional actions and execute such documents as Agent may reasonably require

now or hereafter intended to be granted to the Secured Parties under any Loan Document; provided that this Section 4.13(b) shall not obligate any Credit Party to otherwise undertake collateral perfection and/or protection obligations not
otherwise required under the Loan Documents (it being understood that perfection obligations with respect to Collateral that is perfected by delivery or control shall only be as expressly required pursuant to the other provisions of the Loan
Documents). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and except as otherwise approved in writing by Required Lenders, the Credit Parties shall cause each of their Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries that are Domestic Subsidiaries (other than Domestic

that are Foreign Subsidiaries, Foreign Subsidiary Holding Companies and Domestic Subsidiaries owned indirectly through a Foreign Subsidiary, to guaranty the Obligations and to cause each such Subsidiary to grant to Agent, for the benefit of the
Secured Parties, a security interest in, subject to the limitations set forth herein and in the Collateral Documents, all of such Subsidiary’s Property to secure such guaranty. Furthermore and except as otherwise approved in writing by Required
Lenders, subject to the limitations set forth herein and in the Collateral Documents, each Credit Party shall pledge, and shall cause each of its Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries that are Domestic Subsidiaries (other than Domestic Subsidiaries owned
indirectly through a Foreign Subsidiary, Foreign Subsidiary Holding Companies and Immaterial Subsidiaries) to pledge, all of the Stock and Stock Equivalents of each of its Domestic Subsidiaries (other than Domestic Subsidiaries owned indirectly

(provided that with respect to any First Tier Foreign Subsidiary and Foreign Subsidiary Holding Company, such pledge shall be limited to sixty-five percent (65%) of such Foreign Subsidiary’s and such Foreign Subsidiary Holding
Company’s outstanding voting Stock and Stock Equivalents and one hundred percent (100%) of such Foreign Subsidiary’s and such Foreign Subsidiary Holding Company’s outstanding non-voting Stock and Stock Equivalents) owned by such
Domestic Subsidiary and to the extent a Foreign Guaranty and Pledge Trigger has occurred and is continuing, each of its Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries that are Foreign Subsidiaries and Foreign Subsidiary Holding Companies to pledge all of the Stock and
Stock Equivalent of each of its Subsidiaries, in each instance, to Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, to secure the Obligations. The Credit Parties shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Agent, appropriate resolutions, secretary
certificates, certified organizational documents and, if requested by Agent, legal opinions relating to the matters described in this Section 4.13 (which opinions shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Agent and, to the extent

certificated form, the Credit Parties shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Agent, irrevocable proxies and stock powers and/or assignments, as applicable, duly executed in blank. In the event any Credit Party acquires fee title in any Real
Estate with a market value in excess of $500,000 for any one location such Person shall execute and/or deliver, or cause to be executed and/or delivered, to Agent unless the same is otherwise waived by Agent with respect to such Real Estate,
(v) within thirty (30) days (or such longer period as the Agent may agree) of such Acquisition, an appraisal complying with FIRREA, (w) within forty-five (45) days of receipt of notice from Agent that Real Estate is located in a
Special Flood Hazard Area, Federal Flood Insurance as required by Section 4.6(a), (x) within thirty (30) days (or such longer period as the Agent may agree) of such Acquisition, a fully executed Mortgage with respect to such
Real Estate, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent together with an A.L.T.A. lender’s title insurance policy issued by a title insurer reasonably satisfactory to Agent, in form and substance and in an amount reasonably
satisfactory to Agent insuring that the Mortgage is a valid and enforceable first priority Lien (or in the case of any such Real Estate subject to Liens permitted by Section 5.1(h), (p), (x) or (y), second
priority Lien) on the respective property, free and clear of all defects, encumbrances and Liens (other than Permitted Liens expressly permitted by Section 5.1(b), (c), (d), (f), (g), (h), (j),
(p), (x) and (y)), (y) then current A.L.T.A. surveys, if available in the jurisdiction where such Real Estate is located, certified to Agent by a licensed surveyor sufficient to allow the issuer of the lender’s
title insurance policy to issue such policy without a survey exception and (z) an environmental site assessment prepared by a qualified firm reasonably acceptable to Agent, in form and substance satisfactory to Agent. A “956 Impact”
will be deemed to exist to the extent the issuance of a guaranty by, grant of a Lien by, or pledge of greater than 65% of the voting Stock and Stock Equivalents of, a Foreign Subsidiary or Foreign Subsidiary Holding Company, would result in material
incremental income tax liability as a result of the application of Section 956 of the Code, taking into account actual anticipated repatriation of funds, foreign tax credits and other relevant factors. In addition to the obligations set forth
in Section 4.6(a), within forty-five (45) days after written notice from Agent to the Credit Parties that any Real Estate is located in a Special Flood Hazard Area, the Credit Parties shall satisfy the Federal Flood Insurance
requirements of Section 4.6(a). 

  
 53 








 (c) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the extent reasonably necessary to
maintain the continuing priority of the Lien of any existing Mortgages as security for the Obligations in connection with the incurrence of an Incremental Facility, as determined by Agent in its reasonable discretion, the applicable Credit Party to
any Mortgages shall within thirty (30) days of such funding or incurrence (or such later date as agreed by Agent) (i) enter into and deliver to Agent, at the direction and in the reasonable discretion of Agent, a mortgage modification or
new Mortgage in proper form (and consistent with the terms of any existing Mortgage to the extent applicable in the relevant jurisdiction) for recording in the relevant jurisdiction and in a form reasonably satisfactory to Agent, (ii) cause to
be delivered to Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties an endorsement to the title insurance policy, date down(s) or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to Agent insuring that the priority of the Lien of the Mortgages as security for the
Obligations has not changed and confirming and/or insuring that since the issuance of the title insurance policy there has been no change in the condition of title and there are no intervening liens or encumbrances which may then or thereafter take
priority over the Lien of the Mortgages (other than Permitted Liens expressly permitted by Section 5.1(b), (c), (d), (f), (g), (h), (j), (p), (x) and (y)) and
(iii) deliver, at the request of Agent, to Agent and/or all other relevant third parties, all other items reasonably necessary to maintain the continuing priority of the Lien of the Mortgages as security for the Obligations. 

(d) The Borrower Representative at any time after the Closing Date may designate any Credit Party (other than the Borrowers) as a Borrower or
any Immaterial Subsidiary as a Borrower and/or Guarantor, provided, that (a) such Subsidiary shall satisfy the Joinder Requirements with respect to such Subsidiary, (b) immediately before and after such designation, no Default or
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and (c) immediately after giving effect to such designation, the Borrowers and their Domestic Subsidiaries shall be in compliance, on a pro forma basis, with the covenants set forth in
Article VI (and, as a condition precedent to the effectiveness of any such designation, the Borrower Representative shall deliver to the Agent a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the calculations demonstrating such compliance). If the
assets of such Credit Party or such Immaterial Subsidiary, as applicable, are to be included in any Borrowing Base as of the date of its designation as a Borrower, (i) the Borrower Representative shall have delivered to the Agent a Borrowing
Base Certificate, completed on a pro forma basis giving effect to the inclusion of the assets of such Credit Party or other Subsidiary, as applicable, in such Borrowing Base, and (ii) the Agent shall have received (x) an appraisal of the
Inventory and Equipment of such Credit Party or such Immaterial Subsidiary, as applicable, (y) a collateral examination of such Inventory and Equipment and (z) a collateral examination of the Accounts and related accounts of such Credit
Party or such Immaterial Subsidiary, as applicable, in each case, in scope and form, and from a third-party appraiser and a third-party consultant, respectively, reasonably satisfactory to the Agent and at the sole cost and expense of the Borrowers.
Each Credit Party hereto consents to any such joinder and agrees that no other action on the part of such Credit Party shall be required in order to consummate the foregoing and that all of its obligations (including the Obligations) hereunder and
under any other Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect after giving effect to any such joinder. 

  
 54 








 (e) If, as of the last day of any Fiscal Quarter, the aggregate consolidated assets of all
Immaterial Subsidiaries exceeds 5.0% of Consolidated Total Assets (as set forth in the most recent consolidated balance sheet of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries delivered to the Lenders pursuant to this Agreement and computed in accordance with
GAAP) then, within 45 days after the end of any such Fiscal Quarter (or, if such Fiscal Quarter is the fourth Fiscal Quarter, within 90 days thereafter) (as either such date may be extended by Agent in its sole discretion or at the direction of the
Required Lenders)), the Borrowers shall cause one or more Immaterial Subsidiaries to take the actions specified in Section 4.13(b) on the same basis that any newly formed or acquired Wholly-Owned Subsidiary that is a Domestic Subsidiary
of a Borrower would have to take; provided, however, such actions shall only be required to the extent that, after giving effect to such actions, the aggregate consolidated assets of all Immaterial Subsidiaries do not exceed 5.0% of
Consolidated Total Assets. 
 4.14 Environmental Matters. Each Credit Party shall, and shall cause each of its Domestic Subsidiaries
to, comply with, and maintain its Real Estate, whether owned, leased, subleased or otherwise operated or occupied, in compliance with, all applicable Environmental Laws (including by implementing any Remedial Action necessary to achieve such
compliance) or that is required by orders and directives of any Governmental Authority except where the failure to comply would not reasonably be expected to, individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Environmental Liability. Without
limiting the foregoing, if an Event of Default is continuing or if Agent at any time has a reasonable basis to believe that there exist material violations of Environmental Laws by any Credit Party or any Domestic Subsidiary of any Credit Party or
that there exist any material Environmental Liabilities, then each Credit Party shall, promptly upon receipt of request from Agent, cause the performance of, and allow Agent and its Related Persons reasonable access to such Real Estate for the
purpose of conducting, such environmental audits and assessments, including subsurface sampling of soil and groundwater, and cause the preparation of such reports, in each case as Agent may from time to time reasonably request. Such audits,
assessments and reports, to the extent not conducted by Agent or any of its Related Persons, shall be conducted and prepared by reputable environmental consulting firms reasonably acceptable to Agent and shall be in form and substance reasonably
acceptable to Agent. 
 4.15 Compliance with Health Care Laws. (a) Without limiting or qualifying Section 4.8 hereof, or
any other provision of this Agreement, each Credit Party and each of their respective Domestic Subsidiaries will comply with all applicable Health Care Laws relating to the operation of such Person’s business, except where non-compliance would
not reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (b) Except as would not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, each Credit Party and each of their respective Domestic Subsidiaries shall (i) obtain, maintain and preserve, and cause each of its Domestic Subsidiaries to obtain, maintain and
preserve, and take all necessary action to timely renew, all Health Care Permits (including, as applicable, Health Care Permits necessary for it to be eligible to receive payment and compensation from and to participate in Medicare, Medicaid or any
other Third Party Payor programs) which are necessary or useful in the proper conduct of its business; (ii) be and remain in material compliance with all requirements for participation in, and for licensure required to provide the goods or

Credit Party, and to maintain in full force and effect all professional licenses and other Health Care Permits required to perform such duties; and (iv) keep and maintain all records required to be maintained by any Governmental Authority or
otherwise under any Health Care Law. 
 (c) Each Credit Party and each of their respective Domestic Subsidiaries shall maintain a corporate
and health care regulatory compliance program (“CCP”) which addresses the applicable requirements of Health Care Laws in all material respects. Each Credit Party and each of their respective Domestic Subsidiaries shall modify such
CCPs from time to time, as may be necessary to ensure continuing compliance with all applicable Health Care Laws in all material respects.

Documents of MediMexico S. de R.L. de C.V. to permit the pledge of the voting stock of MediMexico S. de R.L. de C.V. as contemplated in the Guaranty and Security Agreement and take all actions in accordance with applicable Requirements of Law that
are necessary for the effectiveness of such amendment.

been terminated or discharged, all Commitments have been terminated and all Obligations have been paid in full in cash. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Borrowers are required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the

Swingline Lender, as the case may be) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (iii) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 9.11 or (iv) any Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and
filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to any Credit Party under any bankruptcy or other debtor relief law; and provided further that if at any time there is no Person acting as Agent hereunder and under the
other Loan Documents, then (A) the Required Lenders shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to Agent pursuant to Section 7.2 and (B) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses (ii), (iii) and
(iv) of the preceding proviso and subject to Section 9.11, any Lender may, with the consent of the Required Lenders, enforce any rights and remedies available to it and as authorized by the Required Lenders.

and remedies under, and delegate or perform any of its duties or any other action with respect to, any Loan Document by or through any trustee, co-agent, employee, attorney-in-fact and any other Person (including any Secured Party). Any such Person
shall benefit from this Article VIII to the extent provided by Agent.

conversation, in each case believed by it to be genuine and transmitted, signed or otherwise authenticated by the appropriate parties.

with any Loan Document, and each 

  
 76 








 
Secured Party, each Borrower and each other Credit Party hereby waive and shall not assert (and the Borrowers shall cause each other Credit Party to waive and agree not to assert) any right,
claim or cause of action based thereon, except to the extent of liabilities resulting from the gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of Agent or, as the case may be, such Related Person (each as determined in a final, non-appealable
judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction) in connection with the duties expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the foregoing, Agent: 

(i) shall not be responsible or otherwise incur liability for any action or omission taken in reliance upon the instructions of the Required
Lenders or for the actions or omissions of any of its Related Persons selected with reasonable care (other than employees, officers and directors of Agent, when acting on behalf of Agent); 

(ii) shall not be responsible to any Lender, L/C Issuer or other Person for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability,

information with respect to any Credit Party, whether or not transmitted or (except for documents expressly required under any Loan Document to be transmitted to the Lenders) omitted to be transmitted by Agent, including as to completeness,
accuracy, scope or adequacy thereof, or for the scope, nature or results of any due diligence performed by Agent in connection with the Loan Documents; and 

(iv) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any provision of any Loan Document, whether
any condition set forth in any Loan Document is satisfied or waived, as to the financial condition of any Credit Party or as to the existence or continuation or possible occurrence or continuation of any Default or Event of Default and shall not be
deemed to have notice or knowledge of such occurrence or continuation unless it has received a notice from the Borrower Representative, any Lender or L/C Issuer describing such Default or Event of Default clearly labeled “notice of
default” (in which case Agent shall promptly give notice of such receipt to all Lenders); 
 and, for each of the items set forth in clauses
(i) through (iv) above, each Lender, L/C Issuer, each Borrower and each other Credit Party hereby waives and agrees not to assert any right, claim or cause of action it might have against Agent based thereon, except to the
extent of liabilities resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct or bad faith of the Agent or, as the case may be, such Related Person in connection with the duties expressly set forth herein, as determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment or order. 
 (c) Each Lender and L/C Issuer (i) acknowledges that it has performed and
will continue to perform its own diligence and has made and will continue to make its own independent investigation of the operations, financial conditions and affairs of the Credit Parties and (ii) agrees that is shall not rely on any audit or
other report provided by Agent or its Related 

  
 77 








 
Persons (each, an “Agent Report”). Each Lender and L/C Issuer further acknowledges that any Agent Report (i) is provided to the Lenders and L/C Issuers solely as a courtesy,
without consideration, and based upon the understanding that such Lender or L/C Issuer will not rely on such Agent Report, (ii) was prepared by Agent or its Related Persons based upon information provided by the Credit Parties solely for
Agent’s own internal use, (iii) may not be complete and may not reflect all information and findings obtained by Agent or its Related Persons regarding the operations and condition of the Credit Parties. Neither Agent nor any of its
Related Persons makes any representations or warranties of any kind with respect to (i) any existing or proposed financing, (ii) the accuracy or completeness of the information contained in any Agent Report or in any related documentation,
(iii) the scope or adequacy of Agent’s and its Related Persons’ due diligence, or the presence or absence of any errors or omissions contained in any Agent Report or in any related documentation, and (iv) any work performed by
Agent or Agent’s Related Persons in connection with or using any Agent Report or any related documentation. 
 (d) Neither Agent nor
any of its Related Persons shall have any duties or obligations in connection with or as a result of any Lender or L/C Issuer receiving a copy of any Agent Report. Without limiting the generality of the forgoing, neither Agent nor any of its Related
Persons shall have any responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of any Agent Report, or the appropriateness of any Agent Report for any Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s purposes, and shall have no duty or responsibility to correct or update
any Agent Report or disclose to any Lender or L/C Issuer any other information not embodied in any Agent Report, including any supplemental information obtained after the date of any Agent Report. Each Lender and L/C Issuer releases, and agrees that
it will not assert, any claim against Agent or its Related Persons that in any way relates to any Agent Report or arises out of any Lender or L/C Issuer having access to any Agent Report or any discussion of its contents, and agrees to indemnify and
hold harmless Agent and its Related Persons from all claims, liabilities and expenses relating to a breach by any Lender or L/C Issuer arising out of such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s access to any Agent Report or any discussion of its
contents. 
 8.6 Agent Individually. Agent and its Affiliates may make loans and other extensions of credit to, acquire Stock and
Stock Equivalents of, engage in any kind of business with, any Credit Party or Affiliate thereof as though it were not acting as Agent and may receive separate fees and other payments therefor. To the extent Agent or any of its Affiliates makes any
Loan or otherwise becomes a Lender hereunder, it shall have and may exercise the same rights and powers hereunder and shall be subject to the same obligations and liabilities as any other Lender and the terms “Lender”, “Revolving
Lender”, “Required Lender”, and any similar terms shall, except where otherwise expressly provided in any Loan Document, include, without limitation, Agent or such Affiliate, as the case may be, in its individual capacity as Lender,
Revolving Lender or as one of the Required Lenders, respectively. 
 8.7 Lender Credit Decision. 

(a) Each Lender and each L/C Issuer acknowledges that it shall, independently and without reliance upon Agent, any Lender or L/C Issuer or any
of their Related Persons or upon any document (including any offering and disclosure materials in connection with the syndication of the Loans) solely or in part because such document was transmitted by Agent or any of its Related Persons, conduct
its own independent investigation of the financial 

  
 78 








 
condition and affairs of each Credit Party and make and continue to make its own credit decisions in connection with entering into, and taking or not taking any action under, any Loan Document or
with respect to any transaction contemplated in any Loan Document, in each case based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate. Except for documents expressly required by any Loan Document to be transmitted by Agent to the
Lenders or L/C Issuers, Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender or L/C Issuer with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, Property, financial and other condition or
creditworthiness of any Credit Party or any Affiliate of any Credit Party that may come in to the possession of Agent or any of its Related Persons. 

(b) If any Lender or L/C Issuer has elected to abstain from receiving MNPI concerning the Credit Parties or their Affiliates, such Lender or
L/C Issuer acknowledges that, notwithstanding such election, Agent and/or the Credit Parties will, from time to time, make available syndicate-information (which may contain MNPI) as required by the terms of, or in the course of administering the
Loans to the credit contact(s) identified for receipt of such information on the Lender’s administrative questionnaire who are able to receive and use all syndicate-level information (which may contain MNPI) in accordance with such
Lender’s compliance policies and contractual obligations and applicable law, including federal and state securities laws; provided, that if such contact is not so identified in such questionnaire, the relevant Lender or L/C Issuer hereby agrees
to promptly (and in any event within one (1) Business Day) provide such a contact to Agent and the Credit Parties upon request therefor by Agent or the Credit Parties. Notwithstanding such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s election to abstain
from receiving MNPI, such Lender or L/C Issuer acknowledges that if such Lender or L/C Issuer chooses to communicate with Agent, it assumes the risk of receiving MNPI concerning the Credit Parties or their Affiliates. 

8.8 Expenses; Indemnities; Withholding. 

(a) Each Lender agrees to reimburse Agent and each of its Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by any Credit Party) promptly upon
demand, severally and ratably, for any costs and expenses (including fees, charges and disbursements of financial, legal and other advisors and Other Taxes paid in the name of, or on behalf of, any Credit Party) that may be incurred by Agent or any
of its Related Persons in connection with the preparation, syndication, execution, delivery, administration, modification, consent, waiver or enforcement of, or the taking of any other action (whether through negotiations, through any work-out,
bankruptcy, restructuring or other legal or other proceeding (including, without limitation, preparation for and/or response to any subpoena or request for document production relating thereto) or otherwise) in respect of, or legal advice with
respect to its rights or responsibilities under, any Loan Document. 
 (b) Each Lender further agrees to indemnify Agent, each L/C Issuer
and each of their respective Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by any Credit Party), severally and ratably, from and against Liabilities (including, to the extent not indemnified pursuant to Section 8.8(c), Taxes, interests
and penalties imposed for not properly withholding or backup withholding on payments made to or for the account of any Lender) that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Agent, any L/C Issuer or any of their respective Related Persons
in any matter relating to or arising out of, in connection with or as a result of any Loan 

  
 79 








 
Document, any Related Document or any other act, event or transaction related, contemplated in or attendant to any such document, or, in each case, any action taken or omitted to be taken by
Agent, any L/C Issuer or any of their respective Related Persons under or with respect to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable to Agent, any L/C Issuer or any of their respective Related Persons to the extent such
liability has resulted primarily from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Person, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment or order. 

(c) To the extent required by any Requirement of Law, Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender under a Loan Document an amount equal
to any applicable withholding Tax (including withholding Taxes imposed under Chapters 3 and 4 of Subtitle A of the Code). If the IRS or any other Governmental Authority asserts a claim that Agent did not properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or
for the account of any Lender (because the appropriate certification form was not delivered, was not properly executed, or fails to establish an exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Tax with respect to a particular type of payment, or
because such Lender failed to notify Agent or any other Person of a change in circumstances which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Tax ineffective, failed to maintain a Participant Register or for any other reason), or Agent
reasonably determines that it was required to withhold Taxes from a prior payment but failed to do so, such Lender shall promptly indemnify Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by Agent as Tax or otherwise, including penalties
and interest, and together with all expenses incurred by Agent, including legal expenses, allocated internal costs and out-of-pocket expenses. Agent may offset against any payment to any Lender under a Loan Document, any applicable withholding Tax
that was required to be withheld from any prior payment to such Lender but which was not so withheld, as well as any other amounts for which Agent is entitled to indemnification from such Lender under this Section 8.8(c). 

8.9 Resignation of Agent or L/C Issuer. 

(a) (i) Agent may resign at any time by delivering notice of such resignation to the Lenders and the Borrower Representative, effective on the
date set forth in such notice or, if no such date is set forth therein, upon the date such notice shall be effective in accordance with the terms of this Section 8.9 in each case, no earlier than thirty (30) days after the receipt
of such notice. If Agent delivers any such notice or the Agent is removed pursuant to clause (ii) below, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent. If, after 30 days after the date of the retiring Agent’s
notice of resignation, no successor Agent has been appointed by the Required Lenders that has accepted such appointment, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent from among the Lenders. Each appointment under
this clause (a) shall be subject to the prior consent of the Borrower Representative, which may not be unreasonably withheld but shall not be required during the continuance of an Event of Default. (ii) At any time when the Person
acting as Agent is also a Non-Funding Lender of the type described in clause (a) of the definition thereof, Required Lenders may remove Agent in its capacity as such upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Agent and Borrower
Representative, unless such Person ceases to be a Non-Funding Lender on or prior to the expiration of such thirty (30) day period. In the event Agent is so removed, to the extent the Person acting as Agent is also the Swingline Lender, such
Person shall have the opportunity to resign as Swingline Lender concurrently with such removal as Agent, and all Swingline Loans shall be immediately due and payable by Borrowers. 

  
 80 








 (b) Effective immediately upon its resignation or removal, (i) the retiring Agent or removed
Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents, (ii) the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of Agent until a successor Agent shall have accepted a valid appointment hereunder, (iii) the
retiring Agent or removed Agent and its Related Persons shall no longer have the benefit of any provision of any Loan Document other than with respect to any actions taken or omitted to be taken while such retiring Agent or removed Agent was, or
because such Agent had been, validly acting as Agent under the Loan Documents and (iv) subject to its rights under Section 8.3, the retiring Agent or removed Agent shall take such action as may be reasonably necessary to assign to
the successor Agent its rights as Agent under the Loan Documents. Effective immediately upon its acceptance of a valid appointment as Agent, a successor Agent shall succeed to, and become vested with, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of
the retiring Agent or removed Agent under the Loan Documents. 
 (c) Any L/C Issuer may resign at any time by delivering notice of such
resignation to the Agent, effective on the date set forth in such notice or, if no such date is set forth therein, on the date such notice shall be effective. Upon such resignation, the L/C Issuer shall remain an L/C Issuer and shall retain its
rights and obligations in its capacity as such (other than any obligation to Issue Letters of Credit but including the right to receive fees or to have Lenders participate in an L/C Reimbursement Obligation thereof) with respect to Letters of Credit
issued by such L/C Issuer prior to the date of such resignation and shall otherwise be discharged from all other duties and obligations under the Loan Documents. 

8.10 Release of Collateral or Guarantors. Each Lender and L/C Issuer hereby consents to the release and hereby directs Agent, and the
Agent hereby agrees, to release (or, in the case of clause (b)(ii) below, release or subordinate) the following: 
 (a) any Subsidiary
of a Borrower from its guaranty of any Obligation if all of the Stock and Stock Equivalents of such Subsidiary owned by any Credit Party are sold or transferred in a transaction permitted under the Loan Documents (including pursuant to a waiver or
consent); and 
 (b) any Lien held by Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties against (i) any Collateral that is sold,
transferred, conveyed or otherwise disposed of by a Credit Party in a transaction permitted by the Loan Documents (including pursuant to a waiver or consent), (ii) any Property subject to a Lien permitted hereunder in reliance upon
Section 5.1 (a), (h), (i), (p), (x) or (y) and (iii) all of the Collateral and all Credit Parties, upon (A) termination of the Revolving Loan Commitments, (B) payment and
satisfaction in full of all Loans, all L/C Reimbursement Obligations and all other Obligations under the Loan Documents (other than contingent indemnification obligations in respect of which no claim has been made) and all Obligations arising under
Secured Rate Contracts, that Agent has theretofore been notified in writing by the holder of such Obligation are then due and payable, (C) deposit of cash collateral or receipt by Agent of a back-up letter of credit with respect to any Letter
of Credit Obligation, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and otherwise on terms and conditions reasonably satisfactory to Agent and (D) to the extent requested by Agent, receipt by Agent and the Secured Parties of liability
releases from the Credit Parties each in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Agent. 

  
 81 








 Each Lender and L/C Issuer hereby directs Agent, and Agent hereby agrees, upon receipt of reasonable advance
notice from the Borrower Representative, to (i) promptly execute and deliver or file such documents and to perform other actions reasonably necessary to evidence the release of such the guaranties and Liens or, in the case of clause
(b)(ii) above, the release or subordination of such Liens and (ii) deliver to the Credit Parties any portion of such Collateral so released in possession of Agent. 

8.11 Additional Secured Parties. The benefit of the provisions of the Loan Documents directly relating to the Collateral or any Lien
granted thereunder shall extend to and be available to any Secured Party that is not a Lender or L/C Issuer party hereto as long as, by accepting such benefits, such Secured Party agrees, as among Agent and all other Secured Parties, that such
Secured Party is bound by (and, if requested by Agent, shall confirm such agreement in a writing in form and substance acceptable to Agent) this Article VIII and Sections 9.3, 9.9, 9.10, 9.11, 9.17,
9.24 and 10.1 (and, solely with respect to L/C Issuers, Section 1.1(c)) and the decisions and actions of Agent and the Required Lenders (or, where expressly required by the terms of this Agreement, a greater proportion of
the Lenders or other parties hereto as required herein) to the same extent a Lender is bound; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) such Secured Party shall be bound by Section 8.8 only to the extent of
Liabilities, costs and expenses with respect to or otherwise relating to the Collateral held for the benefit of such Secured Party, in which case the obligations of such Secured Party thereunder shall not be limited by any concept of pro rata share
or similar concept, (b) each of Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers party hereto shall be entitled to act at its sole discretion, without regard to the interest of such Secured Party, regardless of whether any Obligation to such Secured
Party thereafter remains outstanding, is deprived of the benefit of the Collateral, becomes unsecured or is otherwise affected or put in jeopardy thereby, and without any duty or liability to such Secured Party or any such Obligation and
(c) except as otherwise set forth herein, such Secured Party shall not have any right to be notified of, consent to, direct, require or be heard with respect to, any action taken or omitted in respect of the Collateral or under any Loan
Document. 
 8.12 Documentation Agent. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any
other Loan Document, the Documentation Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, nor shall the Documentation Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions,
responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Documentation Agent. At any time that any Lender serving (or whose Affiliate is serving) as
Documentation Agent shall have transferred to any other Person (other than any Affiliates) all of its interests in the Loans, such Lender (or an Affiliate of such Lender acting as Documentation Agent) shall be deemed to have concurrently resigned as
such Documentation Agent.

 ARTICLE IX. 

MISCELLANEOUS 
 9.1
Amendments and Waivers. 
 (a) No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and no consent
with respect to any departure by any Credit Party therefrom, shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Agent, the Required Lenders (or by Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders), and the Borrowers, and then such
waiver shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, however, that no such waiver, amendment, or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by all the Lenders directly and adversely

and voluntary prepayments pursuant to Section 1.7) may be postponed, delayed, reduced, waived or modified with the consent of Required Lenders); 

(iii) reduce the principal of, or the rate of interest specified herein (it being agreed that waiver of the default interest margin or the

case may be), affect the rights or duties of Agent, the Swingline Lender or the L/C Issuer, as applicable, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. No amendment, modification or waiver of this Agreement or any Loan Document altering the
ratable treatment of Obligations arising under Secured Rate Contracts resulting in such Obligations being junior in right of payment to principal on the Loans or resulting in Obligations owing to any Secured Swap Provider becoming unsecured (other

(d) Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, a Non-Funding Lender shall not have any voting or consent rights under or with
respect to any Loan Document or constitute a “Lender” or a “Revolving Lender” (or be, or have its Loans and Commitments, included in the determination of “Required Lenders” or “Lenders directly and adversely
affected” pursuant to this Section 9.1) for any voting or consent rights under or with respect to any Loan Document, except that a Non-Funding Lender shall be treated as an “affected Lender” for purposes of Section 9.1(a)(i)
and 9.1(a)(iii) solely with respect to an increase in such Non-Funding Lender’s Commitments, a reduction of the principal amount owed to such Non-Funding Lender or, unless such Non-Funding Lender is treated the same as the other Lenders holding
Loans of the same type, a reduction in the interest rates applicable to the Loans held by such Non-Funding Lender. Moreover, for the purposes of determining Required Lenders, the Loans and Commitments held by Non-Funding Lenders shall be excluded
from the total Loans and Commitments outstanding.

extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Revolving Loans and the accrued interest and

Related Persons, is authorized (but not required) to transmit, post or otherwise make or communicate, in its sole discretion, Electronic Transmissions in connection with any Loan Document and the transactions contemplated therein. Each Credit Party
and each Secured Party hereto acknowledges and agrees that the use of Electronic Transmissions is not necessarily secure and that there are risks associated with such use, including risks of interception, disclosure and abuse and each indicates it

including on such E-System) and related Contractual Obligations executed by Agent and Credit Parties in connection with the use of such E-System. 

(d) LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. ALL E-SYSTEMS AND ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSIONS SHALL BE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS
AVAILABLE”. NONE OF AGENT, ANY LENDER OR ANY OF THEIR RELATED PERSONS WARRANTS THE ACCURACY, ADEQUACY OR COMPLETENESS OF ANY E-SYSTEMS OR ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION AND DISCLAIMS ALL LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS THEREIN. NO WARRANTY OF ANY
KIND IS MADE BY AGENT, ANY LENDER OR ANY OF THEIR RELATED PERSONS IN CONNECTION WITH ANY E-SYSTEMS OR ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATION, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE,
NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD-PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS. Each Borrower, each other Credit Party executing this Agreement and each Secured Party agrees that Agent has no responsibility for maintaining or providing any
equipment, software, services or any testing required in connection with any Electronic Transmission or otherwise required for any E-System. 

9.4 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of Agent or any Lender, any right,
remedy, power or privilege hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right,
remedy, power or privilege. No course of dealing between any Credit Party, any Affiliate of any Credit Party, Agent or any Lender shall be effective to amend, modify or discharge any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

 87

its examiners), (c) each of Agent, its Related Persons, and L/C Issuer for all costs and expenses incurred in connection with (i) any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided hereunder after an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, (ii) the enforcement or preservation of any right or remedy under any Loan Document, any Obligation, with respect to the Collateral or any other related right or remedy or (iii) the commencement, defense,
conduct of, intervention in, or the taking of any other action (including, without limitation, preparation for and/or response to any subpoena or request for document production relating thereto) with respect to, any proceeding (including any
bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding) related to any Credit Party, any Subsidiary of any Credit Party, Loan Document, or Obligation, including Attorney Costs and (d) fees and disbursements of Attorney Costs of one law firm designated by the
Lenders on behalf of all Lenders (other than Agent) incurred in connection with any of the matters referred to in clause (c) above. 

9.6 Indemnity. 
 (a) Each
Credit Party agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend Agent, each Lender, each L/C Issuer and each of their respective Related Persons (each such Person being an “Indemnitee”) from and against all Liabilities (including brokerage
commissions, fees and other compensation) that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Indemnitee in any matter relating to or arising out of, in connection with or as a result of (i) any Loan Document, any Obligation (or
the repayment thereof), any Letter of Credit, the use or intended use of the proceeds of any Loan or the use of any Letter of Credit or any securities filing of, or with respect to, any Credit Party, (ii) any commitment letter, proposal letter
or term sheet with any Person or any Contractual Obligation, arrangement or understanding with any broker, finder or consultant, in each case entered into by or on behalf of any Credit Party or any Affiliate of any of them in connection with any of
the foregoing and any Contractual Obligation entered into in connection with any E-Systems or other Electronic Transmissions, (iii) any actual or prospective investigation, litigation or other proceeding, whether or not brought by any such
Indemnitee or any of its Related Persons, any holders of securities or creditors (and including attorneys’ fees in any case), whether or not any such Indemnitee, Related Person, holder or creditor is a party thereto, and whether or not based on
any securities or commercial law or regulation or any other Requirement of Law or theory thereof, including common law, equity, contract, tort or otherwise, in each case arising out of the matters in clause (i) and (ii) above or
(iv) any other act, event or transaction related, contemplated in or attendant to any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Indemnified Matters”); provided, however, that no Credit Party shall have any liability under this
Section 9.6 to any Indemnitee with respect to any Indemnified Matter, and no Indemnitee shall have any liability with respect to any Indemnified Matter other than (to the extent otherwise liable), (x) to the extent such liability
has resulted from the gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of such Indemnitee, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment or order, (y) to the extent such liability relates to matters
otherwise excluded from Borrower’s obligations hereunder pursuant to Sections 9.5, 10.1, 10.3 and 10.6, and (z) to the extent such liability is a result of any dispute


  
 88 








 
solely among the Indemnified Parties not involving the Credit Parties. Furthermore, each Borrower and each other Credit Party executing this Agreement waives and agrees not to assert against any
Indemnitee, and shall cause each other Credit Party to waive and not assert against any Indemnitee, any right of contribution with respect to any Liabilities that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any Related Person. This
Section 9.6(a) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent Liabilities arising from any non-Tax claim. The Borrowers agree to reimburse any Indemnitee for amounts required to be reimbursed pursuant to this
Section 9.6(a) within fifteen (15) days after receipt of reasonably detailed invoice therefor. 
 (b) Without limiting the
foregoing, “Indemnified Matters” includes all Environmental Liabilities, including those arising from, or otherwise involving, any Property of any Credit Party or any Related Person of any Credit Party or any actual, alleged or prospective
damage to Property or natural resources or harm or injury alleged to have resulted from any Release of Hazardous Materials on, upon or into such Property or natural resource or any Property on or contiguous to any Real Estate of any Credit Party or
any Related Person of any Credit Party, whether or not, with respect to any such Environmental Liabilities, any Indemnitee is a mortgagee pursuant to any leasehold mortgage, a mortgagee in possession, the successor-in-interest to any Credit Party or
any Related Person of any Credit Party or the owner, lessee or operator of any Property of any Related Person through any foreclosure action, in each case except to the extent such Environmental Liabilities (i) resulted from the gross
negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of any such Indemnitee (as determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction) or (ii) (A) are incurred solely following foreclosure by Agent, or following Agent
or any Lender having become the successor-in-interest to any Credit Party or any Related Person of any Credit Party, or following the taking of title to or possession of any Property by Agent or any Lender or (B) are attributable solely to the
acts of such Indemnitee. 
 9.7 Marshaling; Payments Set Aside. No Secured Party shall be under any obligation to marshal any
Property in favor of any Credit Party or any other Person or against or in payment of any Obligation. To the extent that any Secured Party receives a payment from a Borrower, from any other Credit Party, from the proceeds of the Collateral, from the
exercise of its rights of setoff, any enforcement action or otherwise, and such payment is subsequently, in whole or in part, invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any
other party, then to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not
occurred. 
 9.8 Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns; provided that any assignment by any Lender shall be subject to the provisions of Section 9.9, and provided further that no Borrower or other Credit Party may assign or transfer
any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document without the prior written consent of Agent and each Lender. 

  
 89 








 9.9 Assignments and Participations; Binding Effect. 

(a) Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Borrowers, the other Credit Parties
signatory hereto and Agent and when Agent shall have been notified by each Lender that such Lender has executed it. Thereafter, it shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of, but only to the benefit of, the Borrowers, the other Credit Parties
hereto (in each case except for Article VIII), Agent, each Lender and each L/C Issuer receiving the benefits of the Loan Documents and, to the extent provided in Section 8.11, each other Secured Party and, in each case, their
respective successors and permitted assigns. Except as expressly provided in any Loan Document (including in Section 8.9), none of any Borrower, any other Credit Party, any L/C Issuer or Agent shall have the right to assign any rights or
obligations hereunder or any interest herein. 
 (b) Right to Assign. Each Lender may sell, transfer, negotiate or assign (a
“Sale”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations hereunder (including all or a portion of its Commitments and its rights and obligations with respect to Loans and Letters of Credit) to (i) any existing Lender (other than a
Non-Funding Lender or Impacted Lender); (ii) any Affiliate or Approved Fund of any existing Lender (other than a Non-Funding Lender or Impacted Lender); or (iii) any other Person acceptable (which acceptance shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed) to Agent and, with respect to Sales of Revolving Loan Commitments, each L/C Issuer that is a Lender and, as long as no Event of Default is continuing, the Borrower Representative (which acceptances shall be deemed to have been
given unless an objection is delivered to Agent within five (5) Business Days after notice of a proposed sale is delivered Borrower Representative) (each an “Eligible Assignee”); provided, however, that: 

(A) for each Loan, the aggregate outstanding principal amount (determined as of the effective date of the applicable Assignment) of the
Loans, Commitments and Letter of Credit Obligations subject to any such Sale shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000, unless such Sale is made to an existing Lender or an Affiliate or Approved Fund of any existing Lender, is of the
assignor’s (together with its Affiliates and Approved Funds) entire interest in such facility or is made with the prior consent of the Borrower Representative (to the extent required) and Agent; 

(B) such Sales shall be effective only upon the acknowledgement in writing of such Sale by Agent; 

(C) interest accrued prior to and through the date of any such Sale may not be assigned; and 

(D) such Sales by Lenders who are Non-Funding Lenders due to clause (a) of the definition of Non-Funding Lender shall be subject
to Agent’s prior written consent in all instances, unless in connection with such Sale, such Non-Funding Lender cures, or causes the cure of, its Non-Funding Lender status as contemplated in Section 1.11(e)(v); 

Agent’s refusal to accept a Sale to a Credit Party, an Affiliate of a Credit Party, or to any Person that would be a Non-Funding Lender or an Impacted
Lender, or the imposition of conditions or limitations (including limitations on voting) upon Sales to such Persons, shall not be deemed to be unreasonable. 

  
 90 








 (c) Procedure. The parties to each Sale made in reliance on clause (b) above
(and excluding those described in clause (e), (f) or (g) below) shall execute and deliver to Agent an Assignment via an electronic settlement system designated by Agent (or, if previously agreed with Agent, via a
manual execution and delivery of the Assignment) evidencing such Sale, together with any existing Note subject to such Sale (or any affidavit of loss therefor acceptable to Agent), any Tax forms required to be delivered pursuant to
Section 10.1 and payment of an assignment fee in the amount of $3,500 to Agent, unless waived or reduced by Agent; provided, that (i) if a Sale by a Lender is made to an Affiliate or an Approved Fund of such assigning Lender, then
no assignment fee shall be due in connection with such Sale, and (ii) if a Sale by a Lender is made to an assignee that is not an Affiliate or Approved Fund of such assignor Lender, and concurrently to one or more Affiliates or Approved Funds
of such Assignee, then only one assignment fee of $3,500 shall be due in connection with such Sale (unless waived or reduced by Agent). Upon receipt of all the foregoing, and conditioned upon such receipt and, if such Assignment is made in
accordance with clause (iii) of Section 9.9(b), upon Agent (and the Borrower Representative, if applicable) consenting to such Assignment, from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment, Agent shall record or
cause to be recorded in the Register the information contained in such Assignment. 
 (d) Effectiveness. Subject to the recording of
an Assignment by Agent in the Register pursuant to Section 1.4(b), (i) the assignee thereunder shall become a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations under the Loan Documents have been assigned to such assignee
pursuant to such Assignment, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender, (ii) any applicable Note shall be transferred to such assignee through such entry and (iii) the assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and
obligations under this Agreement have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment, relinquish its rights (except for those surviving the termination of the Commitments and the payment in full of the Obligations) and be released from its
obligations under the Loan Documents, other than those relating to events or circumstances occurring prior to such assignment (and, in the case of an Assignment covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and
obligations under the Loan Documents, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto). 
 (e) Grant of Security Interests. In addition
to the other rights provided in this Section 9.9, each Lender may grant a security interest in, or otherwise assign as collateral, any of its rights under this Agreement, whether now owned or hereafter acquired (including rights to
payments of principal or interest on the Loans), to (A) any federal reserve bank (pursuant to Regulation A of the Federal Reserve Board), without notice to Agent or (B) any holder of, or trustee for the benefit of the holders of, such
Lender’s Indebtedness or equity securities, by notice to Agent; provided, however, that no such holder or trustee, whether because of such grant or assignment or any foreclosure thereon (unless such foreclosure is made through an assignment in
accordance with clause (b) above), shall be entitled to any rights of such Lender hereunder and no such Lender shall be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder. 

(f) Participants and Grant of Option to Fund to SPVs. In addition to the other rights provided in this Section 9.9, each
Lender may, (x) with notice to Agent, grant to an SPV 

  
 91 








 
the option to make all or any part of any Loan that such Lender would otherwise be required to make hereunder (and the exercise of such option by such SPV and the making of Loans pursuant thereto
shall satisfy the obligation of such Lender to make such Loans hereunder) and such SPV may assign to such Lender the right to receive payment with respect to any Obligation and (y) without notice to or consent from Agent or the Borrowers, sell
participations to one or more Persons in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents (including all its rights and obligations with respect to the Revolving Loans and Letters of Credit); provided, however, that,
whether as a result of any term of any Loan Document or of such grant or participation, (i) no such SPV or participant shall have a commitment, or be deemed to have made an offer to commit, to make Loans hereunder, and, except as provided in
the applicable option agreement, none shall be liable for any obligation of such Lender hereunder, (ii) such Lender’s rights and obligations, and the rights and obligations of the Credit Parties and the Secured Parties towards such Lender,
under any Loan Document shall remain unchanged and each other party hereto shall continue to deal solely with such Lender, which shall remain the holder of the Obligations in the Register, except that (A) each such participant and SPV shall be
entitled to the benefit of Article X, but, (x) with respect to Section 10.1, only to the extent such participant or SPV delivers the Tax forms such Lender is required to collect pursuant to Section 10.1(g) and
(y) with respect to Sections 10.1 and 10.3, only to the extent of any amount to which such Lender would be entitled in the absence of any such grant or participation (it being understood that the lender removal rights pursuant to
Section 9.22 shall apply to any SPV as if it were a Lender) and (B) each such SPV may receive other payments that would otherwise be made to such Lender with respect to Loans funded by such SPV to the extent provided in the applicable
option agreement and set forth in a notice provided to Agent by such SPV and such Lender, provided, however, that in no case (including pursuant to clause (A) or (B) above) shall an SPV granted an option pursuant to this
clause (f) or participant have the right to enforce any of the terms of any Loan Document, and (iii) the consent of such SPV or participant shall not be required (either directly, as a restraint on such Lender’s ability to
consent hereunder or otherwise) for any amendments, waivers or consents with respect to any Loan Document or to exercise or refrain from exercising any powers or rights such Lender may have under or in respect of the Loan Documents (including the
right to enforce or direct enforcement of the Obligations), except that the agreement between the participating Lender and the SPV or the participant may provide that the participating lender will require the consent of the SPV or participant lender
in connection with amendments, waiver or consents described in clauses (ii) and (iii) of Section 9.1(a) with respect to amounts, or dates fixed for payment of amounts, to which such participant or SPV would
otherwise be entitled and, in the case of participants, except for those described in clause (vi) of Section 9.1(a). 

(g) Assignments to Affiliate SPVs. In addition to the other rights provided elsewhere in this Section 9.9, each Lender that
is an Affiliate of the Agent may, with notice to Agent in such form as shall be acceptable to the Agent (but without the consent of any Person and without compliance with any limitation or procedure specified in subsection 9.9(b) or
9.9(c)), sell, transfer, negotiate or assign all or any portion of its rights, title or interests hereunder with respect to any Revolving Loans (including any interest accrued or to accrue thereon) to an SPV that is an Affiliate of such
Lender, and such SPV may thereafter, with notice to Agent, assign such Loan to any other SPV that is an Affiliate of such Lender or re-assign all or a portion of its interests in any Revolving Loans to the Lender holding the related Loan Commitment;
provided, however, that, whether as a result of any term of any Loan Document or 

  
 92 








 
of such Sale, no such SPV shall have a commitment, or be deemed to have made an offer to commit, to make Revolving Loans hereunder, and none shall be liable for any obligation of such Lender
hereunder. In the case of any Sale pursuant to this clause (g), any assignee SPV shall have all the rights of a Lender hereunder, including the rights described in Section 8.3(c) and the right to receive all payments with respect
to the assigned Obligations. Each such SPV shall be entitled to the benefit of Section 10.1 only to the extent such SPV delivers the tax forms the assigning Lender is required to collect pursuant to subsection 10.1(f). 

(h) No party hereto shall institute (and the Borrowers shall cause each other Credit Party not to institute) against any SPV that funds or
purchases any Obligation pursuant to clauses (f) or (g) any bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, liquidation or similar proceeding, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all
outstanding commercial paper of such SPV; provided, however, that each Lender having designated an SPV as such agrees to indemnify each Indemnitee against any Liability that may be incurred by, or asserted against, such Indemnitee as a result of
failing to institute such proceeding (including a failure to be reimbursed by such SPV for any such Liability). The agreement in the preceding sentence shall survive the termination of the Commitments and the payment in full of the Obligations. In
addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.9, any SPV may disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency rating the obligations of such SPV in
accordance with Section 9.10(b). For the avoidance of doubt, an SPV that is a trust formed by or at the direction of a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender, as depositor, shall be deemed to be an Affiliate of such Lender. Each Lender that sells
a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each
participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including
the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person other than Agent except to the extent that such
disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be
conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the
avoidance of doubt, Agent shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. 
 9.10 Non-Public Information;
Confidentiality. 
 (a) Non-Public Information. Each of Agent, each Lender and L/C Issuer acknowledges and agrees that it may
receive material non-public information (“MNPI”) hereunder concerning the Credit Parties and their Affiliates and agrees to use such information in compliance with all relevant policies, procedures and applicable Requirements of Laws
(including United States federal and state securities laws and regulations). 
 (b) Confidential Information. Each Lender, each L/C
Issuer and Agent agrees to maintain, in accordance with its customary practices, the confidentiality of, and not to 

  
 93 








 
disclose, any information obtained by it pursuant to any Loan Document, except that such information may be disclosed (i) with the Borrower Representative’s consent, (ii) to
Related Persons of such Lender, L/C Issuer or Agent, as the case may be, or to any Person that any L/C Issuer causes to Issue Letters of Credit hereunder, that are advised of the confidential nature of such information and to keep such information
confidential in accordance with the terms hereof, (iii) to the extent such information presently is or hereafter becomes (A) publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 9.10 or (B) available to
such Lender, L/C Issuer or Agent or any of their Related Persons, as the case may be, from a source (other than any Credit Party) not known by them to be subject to disclosure restrictions, (iv) to the extent disclosure is required by
applicable Requirements of Law or other legal process or requested or demanded by any Governmental Authority, (v) subject to Section 9.10(c), to the extent necessary or customary for inclusion in league table measurements, or in any
tombstone or other advertising materials (and Credit Parties consent to the publication of such tombstone or other advertising materials by the Agent, any Lender, an L/C Issuer or any of their Related Persons), (vi) (A) to the National
Association of Insurance Commissioners or any similar organization, any examiner or any nationally recognized rating agency or (B) otherwise to the extent consisting of general portfolio information that does not identify Credit Parties,
(vii) to current or prospective assignees, SPVs (including the investors or prospective investors therein) or participants, direct or contractual counterparties to any Secured Rate Contracts and to their respective Related Persons, in each case
to the extent such assignees, investors, participants, counterparties or Related Persons agree to be bound by provisions substantially similar to the provisions of this Section 9.10 (and such Person may disclose information to their
respective Related Persons in accordance with clause (ii) above), (viii) to any other party hereto, and (ix) in connection with the exercise or enforcement of any right or remedy under any Loan Document, in connection with any
litigation or other proceeding to which such Lender, L/C Issuer or Agent or any of their Related Persons is a party or bound, or to the extent necessary to respond to public statements or disclosures by Credit Parties or their Related Persons
referring to a Lender, L/C Issuer or Agent or any of their Related Persons. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Section 9.10 and those of any other Contractual Obligation entered into with any Credit Party (whether or not a
Loan Document), the terms of this Section 9.10 shall govern. 
 (c) Tombstones; League Tables. Each Credit Party consents
to the publication by Agent or any Lender of any press releases, tombstones, advertising or other promotional materials (including, without limitation, via any Electronic Transmission) relating to the financing transactions contemplated by this
Agreement using such Credit Party’s name, product photographs, logo or trademark. Agent or such Lender shall provide a draft of any such material to Borrower Representative. Each Lender hereby consents to the disclosure by Agent, Lead Arranger
and Bookrunner of information necessary or customary for inclusion in league table measurements. 
 (d) Press Release and Related
Matters. No Credit Party shall, and no Credit Party shall permit any of its Affiliates to, issue any press release or other public disclosure (other than any document filed with any Governmental Authority relating to a public offering of
securities of any Credit Party) using the name, logo or otherwise referring to GE Capital or of any of its Affiliates, the Loan Documents or any transaction contemplated herein or therein to which GE Capital or any of its affiliates is party without
the prior written consent of GE Capital or such Affiliate except (i) upon prior written notice to GE Capital, to the extent required to do so under applicable Requirements of Law or (ii) in public filings with the SEC pursuant to
applicable Requirements of Law. 

  
 94 








 (e) Distribution of Materials to Lenders and L/C Issuers. The Credit Parties acknowledge
and agree that the Loan Documents and all reports, notices, communications and other information or materials provided or delivered by, or on behalf of, the Credit Parties hereunder (collectively, the “Borrower Materials”) may be
disseminated by, or on behalf of, Agent, and made available, to the Lenders and the L/C Issuers by posting such Borrower Materials on an E-System. The Credit Parties authorize Agent to download copies of their logos from its website and post copies
thereof on an E-System. 
 (f) Material Non-Public Information. The Credit Parties hereby agree that if either they, any parent
company or any Subsidiary of the Credit Parties has publicly traded equity or debt securities in the United States, they (x) shall, in the case of any Lender that does not wish to receive MNPI with respect to the Borrowers or their securities
(a “Public-Side Lender”) and has notified the Agent and Borrower Representative in writing that it is a Public-Side Lender, and (y) otherwise shall upon the reasonable request of Agent, (and shall cause such parent company or
Subsidiary, as the case may be, to) (i) identify in writing, and (ii) to the extent reasonably practicable, clearly and conspicuously mark such Borrower Materials that contain only information that is publicly available or that is not
material for purposes of United States federal and state securities laws as “PUBLIC”. The Credit Parties agree that by identifying such Borrower Materials as “PUBLIC” or publicly filing such Borrower Materials with the Securities
and Exchange Commission, then Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers shall be entitled to treat such Borrower Materials as not containing any MNPI for purposes of United States federal and state securities laws. The Credit Parties further represent,
warrant, acknowledge and agree that the following documents and materials shall be deemed to be PUBLIC, whether or not so marked, and do not contain any MNPI: (A) the Loan Documents, including the schedules and exhibits attached thereto (but
redacting any schedules reasonably requested by the Borrowers in writing), and (B) administrative materials of a customary nature prepared by the Credit Parties or Agent (including, Notices of Borrowing, Notices of Conversion/Continuation, L/C
Requests, Swingline requests and any similar requests or notices posted on or through an E-System). Before distribution of any Borrower Materials, the Credit Parties agree to execute and deliver to Agent a letter authorizing distribution of the
evaluation materials to prospective Lenders and their employees willing to receive MNPI, and a separate letter authorizing distribution of evaluation materials that do not contain MNPI and represent that no MNPI is contained therein. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, each Public-Side Lender shall designate to the Agent one or more persons who are entitled to receive and view Borrower Materials containing MNPI to the same extent as Lenders that are not Public-Side Lenders. 

9.11 Set-off; Sharing of Payments. 

(a) Right of Setoff. Each of Agent, each Lender, each L/C Issuer and each Affiliate (including each branch office thereof) of any of
them is hereby authorized, without notice or demand (each of which is hereby waived by each Credit Party), at any time and from time to time during the continuance of any Event of Default and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable
Requirements of Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (whether general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other Indebtedness, claims or 

  
 95 








 
other obligations at any time owing by Agent, such Lender, such L/C Issuer or any of their respective Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of the Borrowers or any other Credit Party
against any Obligation of any Credit Party now or hereafter existing, whether or not any demand was made under any Loan Document with respect to such Obligation and even though such Obligation may be unmatured. No Lender or L/C Issuer shall exercise
any such right of setoff without the prior consent of Agent or Required Lenders. Each of Agent, each Lender and each L/C Issuer agrees promptly to notify the Borrower Representative and Agent after any such setoff and application made by such Lender
or its Affiliates; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights under this Section 9.11 are in addition to any other rights and remedies (including other
rights of setoff) that Agent, the Lenders, the L/C Issuer, their Affiliates and the other Secured Parties, may have. 
 (b) Sharing of
Payments, Etc. If any Lender, directly or through an Affiliate or branch office thereof, obtains any payment of any Obligation of any Credit Party (whether voluntary, involuntary or through the exercise of any right of setoff or the receipt of
any Collateral or “proceeds” (as defined under the applicable UCC) of Collateral) other than pursuant to Section 9.9 or Article X and such payment exceeds the amount such Lender would have been entitled to receive if all
payments had gone to, and been distributed by, Agent in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents, such Lender shall purchase for cash from other Lenders such participations in their Obligations as necessary for such Lender to share such
excess payment with such Lenders to ensure such payment is applied as though it had been received by Agent and applied in accordance with this Agreement (or, if such application would then be at the discretion of the Borrowers, applied to repay the
Obligations in accordance herewith); provided, however, that (i) if such payment is rescinded or otherwise recovered from such Lender or L/C Issuer in whole or in part, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price therefor shall be
returned to such Lender or L/C Issuer without interest and (ii) such Lender shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, be able to exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of setoff) with respect to
such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the applicable Credit Party in the amount of such participation. If a Non-Funding Lender receives any such payment as described in the previous sentence, such Lender shall
turn over such payments to Agent in an amount that would satisfy the cash collateral requirements set forth in Section 1.11(e). 

9.12 Counterparts; Facsimile Signature. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties in
separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Signature pages may be detached from multiple separate counterparts and attached to
a single counterpart. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile transmission or Electronic Transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof. 

9.13 Severability. The illegality or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement or any instrument or agreement required
hereunder shall not in any way affect or impair the legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement or any instrument or agreement required hereunder.

performed, except as expressly stated to the contrary in this Agreement. 
 9.16 Interpretation. This Agreement is the result of
negotiations among and has been reviewed by counsel to Credit Parties, Agent, each Lender and other parties hereto, and is the product of all parties hereto. Accordingly, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be construed against the

to Sections 9.18 and 9.19. 
 9.17 No Third Parties Benefited. This Agreement is made and entered into for the sole
protection and legal benefit of the Borrowers, the Lenders, the L/C Issuers party hereto, Agent and, subject to the provisions of Section 8.11, each other Secured Party, and their permitted successors and assigns, and no other Person
shall be a direct or indirect legal beneficiary of, or have any direct or indirect cause of action or claim in connection with, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. Neither Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to any Person
not a party to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. 
 9.18 Governing Law and Jurisdiction. 

(a) Governing Law. The laws of the State of New York shall govern all matters arising out of, in connection with or relating to this

 97 








 (c) Service of Process. Each Credit Party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of
any and all legal process, summons, notices and other documents and other service of process of any kind and consents to such service in any suit, action or proceeding brought in the United States of America with respect to or otherwise arising out
of or in connection with any Loan Document by any means permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, including by the mailing thereof (by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid) to the address of the Borrowers specified herein (and shall be

other manner provided by law. 
 (d) Non-Exclusive Jurisdiction. Nothing contained in this Section 9.18 shall affect the

9.19 Waiver of Jury Trial. THE PARTIES HERETO, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WAIVE ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR
PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF, IN CONNECTION WITH OR RELATING TO, THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND ANY OTHER TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND THEREBY. THIS WAIVER APPLIES TO ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING WHETHER SOUNDING IN TORT,
CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE. 
 9.20 Entire Agreement; Release; Survival. 

(a) THE LOAN DOCUMENTS EMBODY THE ENTIRE AGREEMENT OF THE PARTIES AND SUPERSEDE ALL PRIOR AGREEMENTS AND UNDERSTANDINGS RELATING TO THE
SUBJECT MATTER THEREOF AND ANY PRIOR LETTER OF INTEREST, COMMITMENT LETTER, CONFIDENTIALITY AND SIMILAR AGREEMENTS INVOLVING ANY CREDIT PARTY AND ANY LENDER OR ANY L/C ISSUER OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES RELATING TO A FINANCING OF
SUBSTANTIALLY SIMILAR FORM, PURPOSE OR EFFECT OTHER THAN THE FEE LETTER. IN THE EVENT OF ANY CONFLICT BETWEEN THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT SHALL GOVERN (UNLESS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY STATED IN
SUCH OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR SUCH TERMS OF SUCH OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS ARE NECESSARY TO COMPLY WITH APPLICABLE REQUIREMENTS OF LAW, IN WHICH CASE SUCH TERMS SHALL GOVERN TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO COMPLY THEREWITH). 

(b) Execution of this Agreement by the Credit Parties constitutes a full, complete and irrevocable release of any and all claims which each
Credit Party may have at law or in equity arising prior to the date hereof in respect of all prior discussions and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. In no event shall any
Indemnitee be liable on any theory of liability for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (including any loss of profits, business or anticipated 

  
 98 








 
savings). Each Borrower and each other Credit Party signatory hereto hereby waives, releases and agrees (and shall cause each other Credit Party to waive, release and agree) not to sue upon any
such claim for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor. 

(c) (i) Any indemnification or other protection provided to any Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 9.20, Sections 9.5
(Costs and Expenses) and 9.6 (Indemnity) and Article VIII (Agent) and Article X (Taxes, Yield Protection and Illegality) and (ii) the provisions of Section 8.1 of the Guaranty and Security Agreement, in each
case, shall (x) survive the termination of the Commitments and the payment in full of all other Obligations and (y) with respect to clause (i) above, inure to the benefit of any Person that at any time held a right thereunder
(as an Indemnitee or otherwise) and, thereafter, its successors and permitted assigns. 
 9.21 Patriot Act. Each Lender that is
subject to the Patriot Act hereby notifies the Credit Parties that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Credit Party, which information includes the name and
address of each Credit Party and other information that will allow such Lender to identify each Credit Party in accordance with the Patriot Act. 

9.22 Replacement of Lender. Within forty-five (45) days after: (i) receipt by the Borrower Representative of (x) written
notice from any Lender that it is unable to make LIBOR Loans pursuant to Section 10.2 or (y) written notice and demand from any Lender for payment of additional costs as provided in Sections 10.1, 10.3 and/or
10.6; (ii) any Lender is or becomes a Non-Funding Lender or an Impacted Lender, or (iii) any failure by any Lender to consent to a requested amendment, waiver or modification to any Loan Document in which Required Lenders have
already consented to such amendment, waiver or modification but the consent of each Lender (or each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby, as applicable) is required with respect thereto (each of the foregoing Lender, an “Affected
Lender”), the Borrowers may, at their option, notify Agent and such Affected Lender of the Borrowers’ intention to obtain, at the Borrowers’ expense, a replacement Lender (“Replacement Lender”) for such Affected Lender which
Replacement Lender (other than a then existing Lender or any Affiliate or Approved Fund of any then existing Lender) shall be reasonably satisfactory to Agent. In the event the Borrowers obtain a Replacement Lender within forty-five (45) days
following notice of its intention to do so, the Affected Lender shall sell and assign its Loans and Commitments to such Replacement Lender, at par, provided that the Borrowers have reimbursed such Affected Lender for its increased costs for which it
is entitled to reimbursement under this Agreement through the date of such sale and assignment. In the event that an Affected Lender does not execute an Assignment pursuant to Section 9.9 within five (5) Business Days after receipt
by such Affected Lender of notice of replacement pursuant to this Section 9.22 and presentation to such Affected Lender of an Assignment evidencing an assignment pursuant to this Section 9.22, the Borrowers shall be entitled
(but not obligated) to execute such an Assignment on behalf of such Affected Lender, and any such Assignment so executed by the Borrowers, the Replacement Lender and Agent, shall be effective for purposes of this Section 9.22 and
Section 9.9. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to a Lender that is a Non-Funding Lender or an Impacted Lender, the Borrowers or Agent (with the consent of Borrower Representative to the extent no Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing) may obtain a Replacement Lender and execute an Assignment on behalf of such Non-Funding Lender or Impacted Lender at any time with three 

  
 99 








 
(3) Business Days’ prior notice to such Lender (unless notice is not practicable under the circumstances) and cause such Lender’s Loans and Commitments to be sold and assigned, in whole
or in part, at par. Upon any such assignment and payment and compliance with the other provisions of Section 9.9, such replaced Lender shall no longer constitute a “Lender” for purposes hereof; provided, any rights of such
replaced Lender to indemnification hereunder shall survive as to such replaced Lender. 
 9.23 Joint and Several. The obligations of
the Credit Parties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are joint and several. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, reference is hereby made to Article II of the Guaranty and Security Agreement, to which the obligations
of Borrower and the other Credit Parties are subject. 
 9.24 Creditor-Debtor Relationship. The relationship between Agent, each
Lender and the L/C Issuer, on the one hand, and the Credit Parties, on the other hand, is solely that of creditor and debtor. No Secured Party has any fiduciary relationship or duty to any Credit Party arising out of or in connection with, and there
is no agency, tenancy or joint venture relationship between the Secured Parties and the Credit Parties by virtue of, any Loan Document or any transaction contemplated therein. 

9.25 Actions in Concert . Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, each Lender hereby agrees with each other Lender
that no Lender shall take any action to protect or enforce its rights against any Credit Party arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document (including exercising any rights of setoff) without first obtaining the prior written consent of
Agent or Required Lenders, it being the intent of Lenders that any such action to protect or enforce rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be taken in concert and at the direction or with the consent of Agent or Required
Lenders. 
 9.26 Keepwell. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably
undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Credit Party to honor all of its obligations under the Guaranty and Security Agreement in respect of Swap Obligations under any Secured Rate Contract
(provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section 9.26 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 9.26, or otherwise
under the Guaranty and Security Agreement, voidable under applicable Requirements of Law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this
Section 9.26 shall remain in full force and effect until the guarantees in respect of Swap Obligations under each Secured Rate Contract have been discharged, or otherwise released or terminated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section 9.26 constitute, and this Section 9.26 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Credit Party for all purposes of
Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.

 ARTICLE X. 

TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY 

10.1 Taxes. 
 (a) Except
as required by a Requirement of Law, each payment by any Credit Party under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, deductions, withholdings (including backup withholding), assessments,
fees or other charges imposed by any Governmental Authority, including any interest, additions to tax, penalties or other Liabilities) with respect thereto (collectively, “Taxes”). 

(b) If any Taxes shall be required by any Requirement of Law to be deducted from or in respect of any amount payable under any Loan Document
to any Secured Party (i) if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, such amount payable shall be increased as necessary to ensure that, after all required deductions for Indemnified Taxes are made (including deductions applicable to any increases to
any amount under this Section 10.1), such Secured Party receives the amount it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the relevant Credit Party shall make such deductions, (iii) the relevant Credit Party
shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Requirements of Law and (iv) within 30 days after such payment is made, the relevant Credit Party shall deliver to Agent an original
or certified copy of a receipt evidencing such payment or other evidence of payment reasonably satisfactory to Agent. 
 (c) In addition,
the Borrowers agree to pay, and authorize Agent to pay in their name, any stamp, documentary, intangible, recording, filing or similar Taxes imposed by any applicable Requirement of Law or Governmental Authority and all Liabilities with respect
thereto (including by reason of any delay in payment thereof), in each case arising from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document or any transaction contemplated therein (collectively, “Other
Taxes”). The Swingline Lender may, without any need for notice, demand or consent from the Borrowers or the Borrower Representative, by making funds available to Agent in the amount equal to any such payment, make a Swing Loan to the Borrowers
in such amount, the proceeds of which shall be used by Agent in whole to make such payment. Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Other Taxes by any Credit Party, the Borrowers shall furnish to Agent, at its address referred to in
Section 9.2, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof or other evidence of payment reasonably satisfactory to Agent. 

(d) The Credit Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that (i) neither GE Capital nor any Affiliate of GE Capital has provided any Tax
advice to any Tax Affiliate in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or any other matters and (ii) the Credit Parties have received appropriate Tax advice to the extent necessary to confirm that the structure of any transaction
contemplated by the Credit Parties in connection with this Agreement complies in all material respects with applicable federal, state and foreign Tax laws. 

(e) The Borrowers shall reimburse and indemnify, within 30 days after receipt of demand therefor (with copy to Agent), each Secured Party for
all Indemnified Taxes (including any Indemnified Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this 

  
 101 








 
Section 10.1) paid or payable by such Secured Party and any Liabilities arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally
asserted. A certificate of the Secured Party (or of Agent on behalf of such Secured Party) claiming any compensation under this clause (d), setting forth the amounts to be paid thereunder and delivered to the Borrower Representative with copy
to Agent, shall be conclusive, binding and final for all purposes, absent manifest error. In determining such amount, Agent and such Secured Party may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. 

(f) Any Lender claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 10.1 shall use its reasonable efforts (consistent
with its internal policies and Requirements of Law) to change the jurisdiction of its Lending Office if such a change would reduce any such additional amounts (or any similar amount that may thereafter accrue) and would not, in the sole
determination of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. 
 (g) (i) Each Non-U.S. Lender Party that, at any of the
following times, is entitled to an exemption from United States withholding Tax or, after a change in any Requirement of Law, is subject to such withholding Tax at a reduced rate under an applicable Tax treaty, shall (w) on or prior to the date
such Non-U.S. Lender Party becomes a “Non-U.S. Lender Party” hereunder, (x) on or prior to the date on which any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete, (y) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in
the most recent form or certification previously delivered by it pursuant to this clause (i) and (z) from time to time if requested by the Borrower Representative or Agent (or, in the case of a participant or SPV, the relevant
Lender), provide Agent and the Borrower Representative (or, in the case of a participant or SPV, the relevant Lender) with two completed originals of each of the following, as applicable: (A) Forms W-8ECI (claiming exemption from U.S.
withholding Tax because the income is effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business), W-8BEN (claiming exemption from, or a reduction of, U.S. withholding Tax under an income Tax treaty) and/or W-8IMY (together with appropriate forms,
certifications and supporting statements) or any successor forms, (B) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender Party claiming exemption under Sections 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code, Form W-8BEN (claiming exemption from U.S. withholding Tax under the
portfolio interest exemption) or any successor form and a certificate in form and substance acceptable to Agent that such Non-U.S. Lender Party is not (1) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code,
(2) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrowers within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code or (3) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code or (C) any
other applicable document prescribed by the IRS certifying as to the entitlement of such Non-U.S. Lender Party to such exemption from United States withholding Tax or reduced rate with respect to all payments to be made to such Non-U.S. Lender Party
under the Loan Documents. Unless the Borrower Representative and Agent have received forms or other documents satisfactory to them indicating that payments under any Loan Document to or for a Non-U.S. Lender Party are not subject to United States
withholding Tax or are subject to such Tax at a rate reduced by an applicable Tax treaty, the Credit Parties and Agent shall withhold amounts required to be withheld by applicable Requirements of Law from such payments at the applicable statutory
rate. 
 (ii) Each U.S. Lender Party shall (A) on or prior to the date such U.S. Lender Party becomes a “U.S. Lender Party”
hereunder, (B) on or prior to the date on which any such 

  
 102 








 
form or certification expires or becomes obsolete, (C) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form or certification previously delivered by it pursuant to
this clause (f) and (D) from time to time if requested by the Borrower Representative or Agent (or, in the case of a participant or SPV, the relevant Lender), provide Agent and the Borrower Representative (or, in the case of a
participant or SPV, the relevant Lender) with two completed originals of Form W-9 (certifying that such U.S. Lender Party is entitled to an exemption from U.S. backup withholding Tax) or any successor form. 

(iii) Each Lender having sold a participation in any of its Obligations or identified an SPV as such to Agent shall collect from such
participant or SPV the documents described in this clause (f) and provide them to Agent. 
 (iv) If a payment made to a Lender
Party would be subject to United States federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender Party fails to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA, such Lender Party shall deliver to Agent and the Borrower Representative any
documentation under any Requirement of Law or reasonably requested by Agent or the Borrower Representative sufficient for Agent or Borrowers to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with its
obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for the purposes of this clause (iv), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. 

(h) If any Secured Party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it
has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 10.1 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to Section 10.1(b)), it shall pay to the relevant Credit Party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity
payments made under this Section 10.1 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such Secured Party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant
Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such Credit Party, upon the request of such Secured Party, shall repay to such Secured Party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 10.1(h) (plus any penalties, interest or other
charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such Secured Party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10.1(h), in no event shall
the Secured Party be required to pay any amount to a Credit Party pursuant to this Section 10.1(h) the payment of which would place the Secured Party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the Secured Party would have been in if the
Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This Section 10.1(h) shall
not be construed to require any Secured Party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Credit Party or any other Person. 

10.2 Illegality. If after the date hereof any Lender shall determine that the introduction of any Requirement of Law, or any change in
any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or administration thereof, has made it unlawful, or that any central bank or other Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its Lending Office to make LIBOR Rate
Loans, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrowers through Agent, the 

  
 103 








 
obligation of that Lender to make LIBOR Rate Loans shall be suspended until such Lender shall have notified Agent and the Borrower Representative that the circumstances giving rise to such
determination no longer exists. 
 (a) Subject to clause (c) below, if any Lender shall determine that it is unlawful to
maintain any LIBOR Rate Loan, the Borrowers shall prepay in full all LIBOR Rate Loans of such Lender then outstanding, together with interest accrued thereon, either on the last day of the Interest Period thereof if such Lender may lawfully continue
to maintain such LIBOR Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such LIBOR Rate Loans, together with any amounts required to be paid in connection therewith pursuant to Section 10.4.

 (b) If the obligation of any Lender to make or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans has been terminated, the Borrower Representative may elect, by
giving notice to such Lender through Agent that all Loans which would otherwise be made by any such Lender as LIBOR Rate Loans shall be instead Base Rate Loans. 

(c) Before giving any notice to Agent pursuant to this Section 10.2, the affected Lender shall designate a different Lending
Office with respect to its LIBOR Rate Loans if such designation will avoid the need for giving such notice or making such demand and will not, in the judgment of the Lender, be illegal or otherwise disadvantageous to the Lender. 

10.3 Increased Costs and Reduction of Return. 

(a) If any Lender or L/C Issuer shall determine that, due to either (i) the introduction of, or any change in, or in the interpretation
of, any Requirement of Law or (ii) the compliance with any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), in the case of either clause (i) or
(ii) subsequent to the date hereof, (x) there shall be any increase in the cost to such Lender or L/C Issuer of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any LIBOR Rate Loans or of Issuing or maintaining any Letter of
Credit or (y) the Lender or L/C Issuer shall be subject to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes)
on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto, then the Borrowers shall be liable for, and shall from time to time, within thirty
(30) days of demand therefor by such Lender or L/C Issuer (with a copy of such demand to Agent), pay to Agent for the account of such Lender or L/C Issuer, additional amounts as are sufficient to compensate such Lender or L/C Issuer for such
increased costs or such Taxes; provided, that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate any Lender or L/C Issuer pursuant to this Section 10.3(a) for any increased costs incurred more than one hundred eighty (180) days prior
to the date that such Lender or L/C Issuer notifies the Borrower Representative, in writing of the increased costs and of such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s intention to claim compensation thereof; provided, further, that if the circumstance
giving rise to such increased costs is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. 

  
 104 








 (b) If any Lender or L/C Issuer shall have determined that: 

(i) the introduction of any Capital Adequacy Regulation; 

(ii) any change in any Capital Adequacy Regulation; 

(iii) any change in the interpretation or administration of any Capital Adequacy Regulation by any central bank or other Governmental
Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof; or 
 (iv) compliance by such Lender or L/C Issuer (or its Lending
Office) or any entity controlling the Lender or L/C Issuer, with any Capital Adequacy Regulation; 
 affects the amount of capital required or expected to
be maintained by such Lender or L/C Issuer or any entity controlling such Lender or L/C Issuer and (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such entities’ policies with respect to capital adequacy and such Lender’s or L/C
Issuer’s desired return on capital) determines that the amount of such capital is increased as a consequence of its Commitment(s), loans, credits or obligations under this Agreement, then, within thirty (30) days of demand of such Lender
or L/C Issuer (with a copy to Agent), the Borrowers shall pay to such Lender or L/C Issuer, from time to time as specified by such Lender or L/C Issuer, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or L/C Issuer (or the entity controlling
the Lender or L/C Issuer) for such increase; provided, that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate any Lender or L/C Issuer pursuant to this Section 10.3(b) for any amounts incurred more than one hundred eighty (180) days
prior to the date that such Lender or L/C Issuer notifies the Borrower Representative, in writing of the amounts and of such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s intention to claim compensation thereof; provided, further, that if the event giving rise
to such increase is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. 

(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests,
rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (ii) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any
successor or similar authority) or the United States of America or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case in respect of this clause (ii) pursuant to Basel III, shall, in each case, be deemed to be a change in a Requirement of Law under
Section 10.3(a) above and/or a change in Capital Adequacy Regulation under Section 10.3(b) above, as applicable, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued. 

10.4 Funding Losses. The Borrowers agree to reimburse each Lender and to hold each Lender harmless from any loss or expense which such
Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of: 
 (a) the failure of the Borrowers to make any payment or mandatory prepayment of principal
of any LIBOR Rate Loan (including payments made after any acceleration thereof); 
 (b) the failure of the Borrowers to borrow, continue or
convert a Loan after the Borrower Representative has given (or is deemed to have given) a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion/Continuation; 

  
 105 








 (c) the failure of the Borrowers to make any prepayment after the Borrowers have given a notice
in accordance with Section 1.7; 
 (d) the prepayment (including pursuant to Section 1.8) of a LIBOR Rate Loan on a
day which is not the last day of the Interest Period with respect thereto; or 
 (e) the conversion pursuant to Section 1.6 of
any LIBOR Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan on a day that is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period; 
 including any such loss or expense arising
from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain its LIBOR Rate Loans hereunder or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained; provided that, with respect to the expenses described in
clauses (d) and (e) above, such Lender shall have notified Agent of any such expense within two (2) Business Days of the date on which such expense was incurred. Solely for purposes of calculating amounts payable by the
Borrowers to the Lenders under this Section 10.4 and under Section 10.3(a): each LIBOR Rate Loan made by a Lender (and each related reserve, special deposit or similar requirement) shall be conclusively deemed to have been
funded at the LIBOR used in determining the interest rate for such LIBOR Rate Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the interbank Eurodollar market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such LIBOR Rate Loan
is in fact so funded. 
 10.5 Inability to Determine Rates. If Agent shall have determined in good faith that for any reason adequate
and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed LIBOR Rate Loan or that the LIBOR applicable pursuant to Section 1.3(a) for any requested Interest Period with
respect to a proposed LIBOR Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lenders of funding or maintaining such Loan, Agent will forthwith give notice of such determination to the Borrower Representative and each Lender.
Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans hereunder shall be suspended until Agent revokes such notice in writing. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower Representative may revoke any Notice of Borrowing or
Notice of Conversion/Continuation then submitted by it. If the Borrower Representative does not revoke such notice, the Lenders shall make, convert or continue the Loans, as proposed by the Borrower Representative, in the amount specified in the
applicable notice submitted by the Borrower Representative, but such Loans shall be made, converted or continued as Base Rate Loans. 
 10.6
Reserves on LIBOR Rate Loans. The Borrowers shall pay to each Lender, as long as such Lender shall be required under regulations of the Federal Reserve Board to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or
including Eurocurrency funds or deposits (currently known as “Eurocurrency liabilities”), additional costs on the unpaid principal amount of each LIBOR Rate Loan equal to actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan by such Lender
(as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan provided the Borrower Representative shall have received at least fifteen
(15) days’ prior written notice (with a copy to Agent) of such additional interest from the Lender. If a Lender fails to give notice fifteen (15) days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest shall be
payable fifteen (15) days from receipt of such notice. 

  
 106 








 10.7 Certificates of Lenders. Any Lender claiming reimbursement or compensation pursuant
to this Article X shall deliver to the Borrower Representative (with a copy to Agent) a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the amount payable to such Lender hereunder and such certificate shall be conclusive and binding on the
Borrowers in the absence of manifest error.

provisions are modified, all financial statements, Compliance Certificates and similar documents provided hereunder shall be provided together with a reconciliation between the calculations and amounts set forth therein before and after giving
effect to such change in GAAP. Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, all terms of an accounting or financial nature used herein shall be construed, and all computations of amounts and ratios referred to in Article V and

in any currency other than Dollars and otherwise may, but shall not be obligated to, rely on any determination made by any Credit Party or any L/C Issuer. Any such determination or redetermination by Agent shall be conclusive and binding for all
purposes, absent manifest error. No determination or redetermination by any Secured Party or any Credit Party and no other currency conversion shall change or release any obligation of any Credit Party or of any Secured Party (other than Agent and
its Related Persons) under any Loan Document, each of which agrees to pay separately for any shortfall remaining after any conversion and payment of the amount as converted. Agent may round up or down, and may set up appropriate mechanisms to round
up or down, any amount hereunder to nearest higher or lower amounts and may determine reasonable de minimis payment thresholds.
