ARTICLE III 
 Taxes, Etc.

 Section 3.01 Taxes. 

(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and
clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes except as required by applicable law. If the Borrower is required by applicable law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from such payments, then: 

  
 26 








 (i) if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, the amount payable by the Borrower shall be increased so
that after all such required deductions or withholdings are made (including deductions or withholdings applicable to additional amounts payable under this Section), the Lender receives an amount equal to the amount it would have received had no such
deduction or withholding been made, and 
 (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions or withholdings and timely pay the full amount
deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 
 (b) Without limiting the provisions of
Section 3.01(a) above, the Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 

(c) The Borrower shall indemnify the Lender, within ten days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including
Indemnified Taxes imposed on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid or payable by the Lender, on or with respect to an amount payable by the Borrower under or in respect of this Agreement or under any other Loan Document,
together with any reasonable expenses arising in connection therewith and with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate from the Lender
as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 (d) As soon as
practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 3.01, the Borrower shall deliver to the Lender the original or certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority
evidencing such payment, a copy of the relevant return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Lender. 

(e) If the Lender 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 by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay over such refund (or the amount of any credit in lieu of refund) to the Borrower (but only to the extent of
indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund or credit in lieu of refund), net of all
out-of-pocket expenses of the Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund or credit in
lieu of refund); provided that, the Borrower, upon the request of the Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any interest, penalties or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Lender in
the event the Lender is required to repay such refund or credit in lieu of refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (e), in no event will 







 
the Lender be required to pay any amount to the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph if the payment of such amount would place the Lender in a less favorable net
after-Tax position than it would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to
such Tax had never been paid. Nothing in this paragraph (e) shall be construed to require the Lender to make available its tax returns or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential to the Borrower or any other
Person. 
 Section 3.02 Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy Requirements. 

(a) If any Change in Law shall: 

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of,
deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, the Lender; 
 (ii) subject the Lender to any Taxes (other
than Indemnified Taxes) on its loans, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or 

(iii) impose on the Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or
Eurodollar Rate Loans made by the Lender; 
 and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to the Lender of making, converting to,
continuing or maintaining any Eurodollar Rate Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by the Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then,
upon request of the Lender, the Borrower will pay to the Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. 

(b) If the Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting the Lender, or Heartland (if any), regarding capital or liquidity requirements,
has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the Lender’s capital or on the capital of Heartland, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Revolving Credit Commitment, the Term Loan Commitment or the Loans, to a level
below that which the Lender or Heartland could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration the Lender’s policies and the policies of Heartland with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will
pay to the Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Lender or Heartland for any such reduction suffered. 
 (c) A
certificate from the Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate it or its holding company, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to the Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
The Borrower shall pay the Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof. 

  
 28 








 (d) Failure or delay on the part of the Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section
shall not constitute a waiver of the Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that, the Borrower shall not be required to compensate the Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered
more than 270 days prior to the date that the Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of the Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law
giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 270 day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect).

of Default occurs and is continuing, then: 
 (a) if such event is an Event of Default specified in Section 8.01(f) above with respect
to the Borrower, the Commitments shall automatically and immediately terminate and the Loans (with accrued interest thereon) and all other amounts owing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall immediately become due and payable; 

(b) if such event is an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default under Section 8.01(f)), any or all of the following actions may
be taken: 
 (i) the Lender may, by notice to the Borrower, declare the Commitments to be terminated forthwith, whereupon the Commitments
shall immediately terminate; 
 (ii) the Lender may, by notice to the Borrower, declare the Loans (with accrued interest thereon) and all
other amounts owing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to be due and payable forthwith, whereupon the same shall immediately become due and payable; and

are consummated) and; 
 (ii) all out-of-pocket expenses
incurred by the Lender, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Lender, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights (i) in connection with the Loan Documents, including its rights under this

restructuring, workout or negotiations in respect of the Loan Documents or such Loans. 
 (b) The Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless the Lender and each of its Related Parties (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against, any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities and related expenses (including the reasonable fees, charges and expenses of any
counsel for any Indemnified Party, incurred by any Indemnified Party or asserted against any Indemnified Party by any Person (including the Borrower or any other Loan Party) other than such Indemnified Party and its Related Parties arising out of,
in connection with, or by reason of: 
 (i) the execution or delivery of any Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated in any

regardless of whether any Indemnified Party is a party thereto; provided that, such indemnity shall not be available to any Indemnified Party to the extent that such claims, damages, losses, liabilities or related expenses (A) are
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party or (B) result from a claim
brought by the Borrower or any other Loan Party against any Indemnified Party for breach in bad faith of such Indemnified Party’s obligations under any Loan Document, if a court of competent jurisdiction has rendered a final and non-appealable judgment in favor of the Borrower or such Loan Party on such claim. This Section 9.03 shall only apply to Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages or similar charges arising from a non-Tax claim. 

  
 57 








 (c) The Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, not to assert, and
hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnified Party, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (including, without limitation, any loss of profits or anticipated savings), as opposed to actual or direct
damages, resulting from this Agreement or any other Loan Document or arising out of such Indemnified Party’s activities in connection herewith or therewith (whether before or after the Closing Date). 

(d) All amounts due under Section 9.03 shall be payable promptly after demand is made for payment by the Lender. 

(e) The Borrower agrees that neither it nor any of its Subsidiaries will settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any
pending or threatened claim, action or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution could be sought under Section 9.03 (whether or not any Indemnified Party is an actual or potential party to such claim, action or proceeding)
without the prior written consent of the applicable Indemnified Party, unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such claim, action or proceeding. 

Section 9.04 Successors and Assigns. 

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and
assigns permitted hereby, except that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such
consent shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby and, to the extent expressly
contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of the Lender) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. 

(b) The Lender may, at any time, without the consent of the Borrower, assign to one or more Eligible Assignees (as defined below) all or a
portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided, however, that Lender shall not, without Borrower’s prior written consent (which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), make any such assignment to a Person described in clauses (ii) or (iii) of the definition of “Eligible Assignee” at any time when there is no outstanding Default or Event of Default. For
purposes of this Agreement, “Eligible Assignee” means any Person other than a natural Person that is (i) an Affiliate of the Lender (which term shall, in any event, include Heartland and Subsidiaries of Heartland), (ii) a
commercial bank, insurance 

  
 58 








 
company, investment or mutual fund or other Person that is an “accredited investor” (as defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act) or (iii) a corporate entity that possesses
financial sophistication and standing similar to that of the Lender. Subject to notification of an assignment, the assignee shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned, have the rights and obligations of the Lender under this
Agreement, and the Lender shall, to the extent of the interest assigned, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an assignment covering all of the Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, the
Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01, Section 3.02 and Section 9.03. The Borrower hereby agrees to execute any amendment and/or any other document that may be
necessary to effectuate such an assignment, including an amendment to this Agreement to provide for multiple lenders and an administrative agent to act on behalf of such lenders. Any assignment or transfer by the Lender of rights or obligations
under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by the Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section. 

(c) The Lender may, at any time, without the consent of the Borrower, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (each, a
“Participant”) in all or a portion of the Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Commitments and the Loans owing to it); provided, that so long as no Default or Event of Default
is outstanding at the time of any such sale, Lender agrees that it will not sell a participation to any Person that is not an Affiliate of Lender (which term shall, in any event, include Heartland and Subsidiaries of Heartland) without
Borrower’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. 

Section 9.05 Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Loan
Parties in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall
survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Lender may have notice or knowledge of any Event of
Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of, or any accrued interest on, any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under
this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid and so long as the Revolving Credit Commitment has not expired or terminated. The provisions of Section 3.01, Section 3.02 and Article IX shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless
of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof. 

  
 59 








 Section 9.06 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. 

(a) This Agreement and any amendments, waivers, consents or supplements hereto may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto
on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable
to the Lender constitute the entire contract among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, with respect to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in
Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Lender and when the Lender shall have received a counterpart hereof executed by the Borrower. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to
this Agreement by facsimile or in electronic (“pdf” or “tif”) format shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. This Agreement and each other Loan Document has been reviewed by all
parties hereto and incorporate the requirements of such parties. Each party waives the rule of construction that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the party drafting the same and agrees such rules will not be employed in the interpretation
of this Agreement or any other Loan Document. 
 (b) The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of
similar import in any Loan Document shall be deemed to include electronic or digital signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same effect, validity and enforceability as manually executed signatures or a
paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for under applicable law, including the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act of 2000 (15 USC § 7001 et seq.), the Electronic Signatures and
Records Act of 1999 (NY State Technology Law §§ 301-309), or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. 

Section 9.07 Severability. If any term or provision of any Loan Document is invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision thereof or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction. Upon such determination
that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify the applicable Loan Document so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually
acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible. 

Section 9.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Lender
and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, and without prior notice to the Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower, to set off and appropriate
