date of this Agreement, by which the Borrower or any of its Guarantors (i) acquires any going business or all or substantially all of the assets of any firm, corporation or limited liability company, or division thereof, whether through
purchase of assets, merger or otherwise or (ii) directly or indirectly acquires (in one transaction or as the most recent transaction in a series of transactions) at least a majority (in number of votes) of the securities of a corporation which
have ordinary voting power for the election of directors (other than securities having such power only by reason of the happening of a contingency) or a majority (by percentage or voting power) of the outstanding ownership interests of a partnership
or limited liability company. 
 “Act” is defined in Section 9.14.

Period. The term “Advance” shall include Swing Line Loans unless otherwise expressly provided.

by or under common control with such Person, including, without limitation, such Person’s Subsidiaries.

regulation (without duplication of amounts owing or payable under Article III), such rate rounded up to the nearest one-sixteenth percent; provided, however, if on any date for determining the one-month LIBOR rate, Administrative Agent
shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error) that (a) because of circumstances affecting the Money Markets, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the one-month LIBOR rate, or
(b) it is unlawful to maintain any advance of the Loans at a rate based on the one-month LIBOR rate, Administrative Agent shall promptly give to Borrower telephonic notice (confirmed as soon as practicable in writing) of the nature and effect

index selected by Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, reasonably comparable to that of one-month LIBOR, intended to generate a return substantially the same as that generated by the one-month LIBOR rate, and all references in the Loan
Documents to the Alternate Base Rate shall be deemed to be references to such alternate rate while such rate is in effect.

Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow the Revolving Loans at any time prior to the Facility Termination Date. Commitments shall terminate on the Facility Termination Date. Each LC Issuer will issue Facility LCs hereunder on the terms and
conditions set forth in Section 2.19. Each request for an Advance under this Agreement shall be submitted to Administrative Agent and signed by one of the authorized signatories of Borrower set forth on Schedule 2.1 hereto (or such other
signatory identified in writing to Administrative Agent by Borrower). 
 2.2 Determination of Dollar Amounts; Required Payments;
Termination. The Administrative Agent will determine the Dollar Amount of: (a) each Advance as of the date three (3) Business Days prior to the Borrowing Date or, if applicable, date of conversion/continuation of such Advance, and
(b) all outstanding Advances on and as of the last Business Day of each quarter and on any other Business Day elected by the Administrative Agent in its discretion or upon instruction by the Required Lenders. Each day upon or as of which the
Administrative Agent determines Dollar Amounts as described in the preceding clauses (a) and (b) is herein described as a “Computation Date” with respect to each Advance for which a Dollar Amount is determined on or as of such
day. If at any time either (i) the Aggregate Outstanding Credit Exposure exceeds the Aggregate Commitment or (ii) the aggregate amount of all Borrowing Base Debt exceeds the Borrowing Base determined as of the most recent Inventory
Valuation Date, then the Borrower shall within three (3) Business Days after notice from the Administrative Agent make a payment on the Loans or Cash Collateralize LC Obligations in an account with the Administrative Agent pursuant to
Section 2.19(k) sufficient to eliminate such excess. The Aggregate Outstanding Credit Exposure (other than LC Obligations that are Cash Collateralized in accordance with this Agreement) and all other unpaid Obligations under this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents shall be paid in full by the Borrower on the Facility Termination Date.

Advance is made. In addition, the Swing Line Lender may at any time in its sole discretion with respect to any outstanding Swing Line Loan, require each Lender to fund the participation acquired
by such Lender pursuant to Section 2.4(c) or require each Lender (including the Swing Line Lender) to make a Revolving Loan in the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Swing Line Loan (including, without limitation, any interest
accrued and unpaid thereon), for the purpose of repaying such Swing Line Loan. Not later than 1 p.m. (Pacific time) on the date of any notice received pursuant to this Section 2.4(d) (which notice shall be given by Swingline Lender no later

such Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans pursuant to this Section 2.4(d) to repay Swing Line Loans or to fund the participation acquired pursuant to Section 2.4(c) shall be unconditional, continuing, irrevocable and absolute
and shall not be affected by any circumstances, including, without limitation, (a) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Lender or
any other Person, (b) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or Event of Default, (c) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower, or (d) any other circumstances, happening or event whatsoever. In
the event that any Lender fails to make payment to the Administrative Agent of any amount due under this Section 2.4(d), interest shall accrue thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate for each day during the period commencing on the date of
demand and ending on the date such amount is received and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to receive, retain and apply against such obligation the principal and interest otherwise payable to such Lender hereunder until the Administrative
Agent receives such payment from such Lender or such obligation is otherwise fully satisfied. To the extent not otherwise paid when due as specified herein, on the Facility Termination Date the Borrower shall repay in full the outstanding principal
balance of the Swing Line Loans. 
 2.5 Unused Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each
Lender according to its Pro Rata Share an unused fee (the “Unused Fee”) at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Fee Rate on the average daily Available Aggregate Commitment from the date hereof to and including the Facility Termination
Date, payable in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date hereafter and on the Facility Termination Date. Swing Line Loans shall count as usage of the Aggregate Commitment for the purpose of calculating the Unused Fee due hereunder. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no Unused Fee shall be payable as to those periods when the Available Aggregate Commitment is less than 35% of the total Aggregate Commitment; and the Applicable Fee Rate specified in Levels I, II and III of the Pricing Schedule
shall be reduced by five basis points (0.05%) during the first twelve months following the date of this Agreement. 
 2.6 Minimum Amount
of Each Advance. Each Eurocurrency Advance shall be in the minimum amount of $1,000,000 and incremental amounts in integral multiples of $100,000, and each Base Rate Advance (other than an Advance to repay Swing Line Loans) shall be in the


  
 -31- 








 
minimum amount of $500,000 and incremental amounts in integral multiples of $50,000, provided, however, that any Base Rate Advance may be in the amount of the Available Aggregate
Commitment or, if less, the maximum amount permitted to be advanced under clause (ii) of Section 2.1. 
 2.7 Reductions in
Aggregate Commitment; Optional Principal Payments. The Borrower may permanently reduce the Aggregate Commitment in whole, or in part ratably among the Lenders in integral multiples of $5,000,000 (but not less than $25,000,000), upon at least
five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent by 10:00 a.m. (Pacific time), which notice shall specify the amount of any such reduction, provided, however, that the amount of the Aggregate Commitment may
not be reduced below the Aggregate Outstanding Credit Exposure. All accrued Unused Fees shall be payable on the effective date of any termination of the obligations of the Lenders to make Credit Extensions hereunder. The Borrower may from time to
time pay, without penalty or premium, all outstanding Base Rate Advances (other than Swing Line Loans), or, in a minimum aggregate amount of $500,000 and incremental amounts in integral multiples of $50,000 (or the aggregate amount of the
outstanding Revolving Loans at such time), any portion of the aggregate outstanding Base Rate Advances (other than Swing Line Loans) upon same day notice by 10:00 a.m. (Pacific time) to the Administrative Agent. The Borrower may at any time pay,
without penalty or premium, all outstanding Swing Line Loans, or any portion of the outstanding Swing Line Loans, with notice to the Administrative Agent and the Swing Line Lender by 10:00 a.m. (Pacific time) on the date of repayment. The Borrower
may from time to time pay, subject to the payment of any funding indemnification amounts required by Section 3.4 but without penalty or premium, all outstanding Eurocurrency Advances, or, in a minimum aggregate amount of $1,000,000 and
incremental amounts in integral multiples of $100,000 (or the aggregate amount of the outstanding Revolving Loans at such time), any portion of the aggregate outstanding Eurocurrency Advances upon at least two (2) Business Days’ prior
written notice to the Administrative Agent by 10:00 a.m. (Pacific time). Any notice of prepayment may be conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or the occurrence of another transaction, in which case such notice may be revoked
or delayed by the Borrower if such condition is not satisfied so long as Borrower reimburses Agent and Lenders for any reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred because of such revocation or delay. 

2.8 Method of Selecting Types and Interest Periods for New Revolving Advances. The Borrower shall select the Type of Advance and, in
the case of each Eurocurrency Advance, the Interest Period applicable thereto from time to time. The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice in the form of Exhibit D (a “Borrowing Notice”) not later than 10 a.m.
(Pacific time) on the Borrowing Date of each Base Rate Advance (other than a Swing Line Loan), two (2) Business Days before the Borrowing Date for each Eurocurrency Advance in Dollars, specifying: 

(i) the Borrowing Date, which shall be a Business Day, of such Advance, 

(ii) the aggregate amount of such Advance, 

(iii) the Type of Advance selected, and 

  
 -32- 








 (iv) in the case of each Eurocurrency Advance, the Interest Period applicable
thereto. 
 Not later than 12:00 noon (Pacific time) on each Borrowing Date, each Lender shall make available its Loan or Loans in funds immediately
available to the Administrative Agent at its address specified pursuant to Article XIII. The Administrative Agent will make the funds so received from the Lenders available to the Borrower at the Administrative Agent’s aforesaid address. 

2.9 Conversion and Continuation of Outstanding Advances; Maximum Number of Interest Periods. Base Rate Advances (other than Swing Line
Loans) shall continue as Base Rate Advances unless and until such Base Rate Advances are converted into Eurocurrency Advances pursuant to this Section 2.9 or are repaid in accordance with Section 2.7. Each Eurocurrency Advance shall
continue as a Eurocurrency Advance until the end of the then applicable Interest Period therefor, at which time such Eurocurrency Advance shall be automatically converted into a Base Rate Advance unless (x) such Eurocurrency Advance is or was
repaid in accordance with Section 2.7 or (y) the Borrower shall have given the Administrative Agent a Conversion/Continuation Notice (as defined below) requesting that, at the end of such Interest Period, such Eurocurrency Advance continue
as a Eurocurrency Advance for the same or another Interest Period. Subject to the terms of Section 2.6, the Borrower may elect from time to time to convert all or any part of a Base Rate Advance (other than a Swing Line Loan) into a
Eurocurrency Advance. The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice (a “Conversion/Continuation Notice”) of each conversion of a Base Rate Advance into a Eurocurrency Advance, conversion of a Eurocurrency Advance to a
Base Rate Advance, or continuation of a Eurocurrency Advance not later than 10:00 a.m. (Pacific time) at least two (2) Business Days prior to the date of the requested conversion or continuation, specifying: 

(i) the requested date, which shall be a Business Day, of such conversion or continuation, 

(ii) the Type of the Advance which is to be converted or continued, and 

(iii) the amount of such Advance which is to be converted into or continued as a Eurocurrency Advance and the duration of the
Interest Period applicable thereto. 
 After giving effect to all Advances, all conversions of Advances from one Type to another and all continuations of
Advances of the same Type, there shall be no more than six (6) Interest Periods in effect hereunder. 
 2.10 Interest Rates.
Each Base Rate Advance (other than a Swing Line Loan) shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from and including the date such Advance is made or is automatically converted from a Eurocurrency Advance into a
Base Rate Advance pursuant to Section 2.9, to but excluding the date it becomes due or is converted into a Eurocurrency Advance pursuant to Section 2.9 hereof, at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate for such day. Each Swing Line Loan
shall bear interest on the outstanding 

  
 -33- 








 
principal amount thereof, for each day from and including the day such Swing Line Loan is made to but excluding the date it is paid, at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate for such day.
Changes in the rate of interest on that portion of any Advance maintained as a Base Rate Advance will take effect simultaneously with each change in the Alternate Base Rate. Each Eurocurrency Advance shall bear interest on the outstanding principal
amount thereof from and including the first day of the Interest Period applicable thereto to (but not including) the last day of such Interest Period at the interest rate determined by the Administrative Agent as applicable to such Eurocurrency
Advance based upon the Borrower’s selections under Sections 2.8 and 2.9 and the Pricing Schedule. No Interest Period may end after the Facility Termination Date. 

2.11 Rates Applicable After Event of Default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Sections 2.8, 2.9 or 2.10, during
the continuance of a Default or Event of Default the Required Lenders may, at their option, by notice from the Administrative Agent to the Borrower (which notice may be revoked at the option of the Required Lenders notwithstanding any provision of
Section 8.3 requiring unanimous consent of the Lenders to changes in interest rates), declare that no Advance may be made as, converted into or continued as a Eurocurrency Advance. During the continuance of an Event of Default the Required
Lenders may, at their option, by notice from the Administrative Agent to the Borrower (which notice may be revoked at the option of the Required Lenders notwithstanding any provision of Section 8.3 requiring unanimous consent of the Lenders to
changes in interest rates), declare that (i) each Eurocurrency Advance shall bear interest for the remainder of the applicable Interest Period at the rate otherwise applicable to such Interest Period plus 2.00% per annum,
(ii) each Base Rate Advance shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate in effect from time to time plus 2.00% per annum, and (iii) the LC Fee shall be increased by 2.00% per annum, provided that,
during the continuance of an Event of Default under Sections 7.6 or 7.7, the interest rates set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above and the increase in the LC Fee set forth in clause (iii) above shall be applicable to all Credit
Extensions without any election or action on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender. After an Event of Default has been waived (in the sole discretion of Administrative Agent and Required Lenders), the interest rate applicable to
advances and the LC Fee shall revert to the rates applicable prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default. 
 2.12 Method of
Payment. Each Advance shall be repaid and each payment of interest thereon shall be paid in the currency in which such Advance was made. All payments of the Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be made, without
setoff, deduction, or counterclaim, in immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s address specified pursuant to Article XIII, or at any other Lending Installation of the Administrative Agent specified
in writing by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, by 10:00 a.m. (Pacific time) on the date when due and shall (except (i) with respect to repayments of Swing Line Loans, (ii) in the case of Reimbursement Obligations for which the LC
Issuers have not been fully indemnified by the Lenders, or (iii) as otherwise specifically required hereunder) be applied ratably by the Administrative Agent among the Lenders. Each payment delivered to the Administrative Agent for the account
of any Lender shall be delivered promptly by the Administrative Agent to such Lender in the same type of funds that the Administrative Agent received at its address specified pursuant to Article XIII or at any Lending Installation specified in a
notice received by the Administrative Agent from such Lender. The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to charge the account of the Borrower maintained 

  
 -34- 








 
with U.S. Bank for each payment of principal, interest, Reimbursement Obligations and fees as it becomes due hereunder. Each reference to the Administrative Agent in this Section 2.12 shall
also be deemed to refer, and shall apply equally, to the LC Issuers, in the case of payments required to be made by the Borrower to the LC Issuers pursuant to Section 2.19(f). 

2.13 Noteless Agreement; Evidence of Indebtedness. 

(a) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the Indebtedness of the Borrower to such
Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder. 

(b) The Administrative Agent shall also maintain accounts in which it will record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder and Type
thereof and the Interest Period with respect thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder, (iii) the original stated amount of each Facility
LC and the amount of LC Obligations outstanding at any time, and (iv) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower and each Lender’s share thereof. 

(c) The entries maintained in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraphs (a) and (b) above shall be prima facie evidence
of the existence and amounts of the Obligations therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of
the Borrower to repay the Obligations in accordance with their terms. 
 (d) Any Lender (including the Swing Line Lender) may request that
its Loans be evidenced by a promissory note substantially in the form of Exhibit F (with appropriate changes for notes evidencing Swing Line Loans) (each a “Note”). In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such
Lender such Note or Notes payable to the order of such Lender in a form supplied by the Administrative Agent. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such Note and interest thereon shall at all times (prior to any assignment pursuant to
Section 12.3) be represented by one or more Notes payable to the order of the payee named therein, except to the extent that any such Lender subsequently returns any such Note for cancellation and requests that such Loans once again be
evidenced as described in clauses (b) (i) and (ii) above. 
 2.14 Telephonic Notices. The Borrower hereby authorizes
the Lenders and the Administrative Agent to extend, convert or continue Advances, effect selections of Types of Advances and to transfer funds based on telephonic notices made by any Person or Persons the Administrative Agent or any Lender in good
faith believes to be acting on behalf of the Borrower, it being understood that the foregoing authorization is specifically intended to allow Borrowing Notices and Conversion/Continuation Notices to be given telephonically. The Borrower agrees to
deliver promptly to the Administrative Agent a written confirmation (which may include e-mail) of each telephonic notice authenticated by an Authorized Officer. If the written confirmation differs in any material respect from the action taken by the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders, the records of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall govern absent manifest error. The parties agree to prepare appropriate documentation to correct any such error within ten (10) days after
discovery by any party to this Agreement. 

  
 -35- 








 2.15 Interest Payment Dates; Interest and Fee Basis. Interest accrued on each Base Rate
Advance and each Swing Line Loan shall be payable on each Monthly Payment Date, commencing with the first such Monthly Payment Date to occur after the date hereof and at maturity. Interest accrued on each Eurocurrency Advance shall be payable on the
last day of its applicable Interest Period, on any date on which the Eurocurrency Advance is prepaid, whether by acceleration or otherwise, and at maturity. Interest accrued on each Eurocurrency Advance having an Interest Period longer than three
(3) months, if any, shall also be payable on the last day of each three-month interval during such Interest Period. Interest accrued pursuant to Section 2.11 shall be payable on demand. Interest on all Advances and fees shall be calculated
for actual days elapsed on the basis of a 360-day year. Interest shall be payable for the day an Advance is made but not for the day of any payment on the amount paid if payment is received prior to 10:00 a.m. (Pacific time) at the place of payment.
If any payment of principal of or interest on an Advance shall become due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day. 

2.16 Notification of Advances, Interest Rates, Prepayments and Commitment Reductions. Promptly after receipt thereof, the
Administrative Agent will notify each Lender of the contents of each Aggregate Commitment reduction notice, Borrowing Notice, Swing Line Borrowing Notice, Conversion/Continuation Notice, and repayment notice received by it hereunder. Promptly after
notice from an LC Issuer, the Administrative Agent will notify each Lender of the contents of each request for issuance of a Facility LC hereunder. The Administrative Agent will notify each Lender of the interest rate applicable to each Eurocurrency
Advance promptly upon determination of such interest rate and will give each Lender prompt notice of each change in the Alternate Base Rate. 

2.17 Lending Installations. Each Lender may book its Advances and its participation in any LC Obligations and each LC Issuer may book
the Facility LCs at any Lending Installation selected by such Lender or such LC Issuer, as the case may be, and may change its Lending Installation from time to time. All terms of this Agreement shall apply to any such Lending Installation and the
Loans, Facility LCs, participations in LC Obligations and any Notes issued hereunder shall be deemed held by each Lender or each LC Issuer, as the case may be, for the benefit of any such Lending Installation. Each Lender and each LC Issuer may, by
written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in accordance with Article XIII, designate replacement or additional Lending Installations through which Loans will be made by it or Facility LCs will be issued by it and for whose account
Loan payments or payments with respect to Facility LCs are to be made. 
 2.18 Non-Receipt of Funds by the Administrative Agent.
Unless the Borrower or a Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Administrative Agent prior to the date on which it is scheduled to make payment to the Administrative Agent of (i) in the case of a Lender, the proceeds of a Loan or (ii) in
the case of the Borrower, a payment of principal, interest or fees to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, that it does not intend to make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such payment has been made. The
Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the amount of such payment 

  
 -36- 








 
available to the intended recipient in reliance upon such assumption. If such Lender or the Borrower, as the case may be, has not in fact made such payment to the Administrative Agent, the
recipient of such payment shall, on demand by the Administrative Agent, repay to the Administrative Agent the amount so made available together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was so
made available by the Administrative Agent until the date the Administrative Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal to (x) in the case of payment by a Lender, the Federal Funds Effective Rate for such day for the first three
(3) days and, thereafter, the interest rate applicable to the relevant Loan or (y) in the case of payment by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to the relevant Loan. 

2.19 Facility LCs. 
 (a)
Issuance. Each LC Issuer hereby agrees, within the limits of its LC Issuer’s LC Limit and on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, to issue standby Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars (each, a “Facility
LC”) and to renew, extend, increase, decrease or otherwise modify each Facility LC (“Modify,” and each such action a “Modification”), from time to time from and including the date of this Agreement and prior to the Facility
Termination Date upon the request of the Borrower; provided that immediately after each such Facility LC is issued or Modified, (i) the aggregate maximum amount then available for drawing under Facility LCs issued by such LC Issuer shall
not exceed its LC Issuer’s LC Limit, (ii) the aggregate Dollar Amount of the outstanding LC Obligations shall not exceed the lesser of (a) twenty-five percent (25%) of the Aggregate Commitment or (b) $75,000,000,
(iii) the Aggregate Outstanding Credit Exposure shall not exceed the Aggregate Commitment and (iv) the aggregate amount of all Borrowing Base Debt shall not exceed the Borrowing Base determined as of the most recent Inventory Valuation
Date. No Facility LC shall have an expiry date later than the fifth Business Day prior to the Facility Termination Date; provided, however, that the expiry date of a Facility LC may be up to one (1) year later than the fifth Business Day
prior to the Facility Termination Date if the Borrower has Cash Collateralized such Facility LC in accordance with Section 2.19(l). 

(b) Participations. Upon the issuance or Modification by an LC Issuer of a Facility LC in accordance with this Section 2.19, such
LC Issuer shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have unconditionally and irrevocably sold to each Lender, and each Lender shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have unconditionally and irrevocably
purchased from such LC Issuer, a participation in such Facility LC (and each Modification thereof) and the related LC Obligations in proportion to its Pro Rata Share. 

(c) Notice. Subject to Section 2.19(a), the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent notice prior to 10:00 a.m. (Pacific time)
at least five (5) Business Days prior to the proposed date of issuance or Modification of each Facility LC, specifying the applicable LC Issuer, the beneficiary, the proposed date of issuance (or Modification) and the expiry date of such
Facility LC, and describing the proposed terms of such Facility LC and the nature of the transactions proposed to be supported thereby. Upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the applicable LC Issuer and each
Lender of the contents thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s participation in such proposed Facility LC. 

  
 -37- 








 
The issuance or Modification by an LC Issuer of any Facility LC shall, in addition to the conditions precedent set forth in Article IV, be subject to the conditions precedent that such Facility
LC shall be satisfactory to such LC Issuer and that the Borrower shall have executed and delivered such application agreement and/or such other instruments and agreements relating to such Facility LC as such LC Issuer shall have reasonably requested
(each, a “Facility LC Application”). No LC Issuer shall have any independent duty to ascertain whether the conditions set forth in Article IV have been satisfied; provided, however, that no LC Issuer shall issue a Facility LC
if, on or before the proposed date of issuance, such LC Issuer shall have received notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders that any such condition has not been satisfied or waived. In the event of any conflict between the terms
of this Agreement and the terms of any Facility LC Application, the terms of this Agreement shall control. 
 (d) LC Fees. The
Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares, with respect to each Facility LC, a letter of credit fee at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Margin
in effect from time to time on the average daily undrawn face amount of such Facility LC for the period from the date of issuance to the scheduled expiration date of such Facility LC, such fee to be payable in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date
(the “LC Fee”). The Borrower shall also pay to each LC Issuer for its own account (x) a fronting fee in an amount equal to 0.125% per annum of the average daily undrawn face amount under such Facility LC issued by it, such fee to
be payable in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date and (y) on demand, all amendment, drawing and other fees regularly charged by such LC Issuer to its letter of credit customers and all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such LC Issuer in
connection with the issuance, Modification, administration or payment of any Facility LC. 
 (e) Administration; Reimbursement by
Lenders. Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Facility LC of any demand for payment under such Facility LC, the applicable LC Issuer shall notify the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and
each other Lender as to the amount to be paid by such LC Issuer as a result of such demand and the proposed payment date (the “LC Payment Date”). The responsibility of each LC Issuer to the Borrower and each Lender shall be only to
determine that the documents (including each demand for payment) delivered under each Facility LC in connection with such presentment shall be in conformity in all material respects with such Facility LC. Each LC Issuer shall endeavor to exercise
the same care in the issuance and administration of the Facility LCs as it does with respect to letters of credit in which no participations are granted, it being understood that in the absence of any gross negligence or willful misconduct by such
LC Issuer, each Lender shall be unconditionally and irrevocably liable without regard to the occurrence of any Event of Default or any condition precedent whatsoever, to reimburse such LC Issuer on demand for (i) such Lender’s Pro Rata
Share of the amount of each payment made by such LC Issuer under each Facility LC to the extent such amount is not reimbursed by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.19(f) below and there are not funds available in the Facility LC Collateral
Account to cover the same, plus (ii) interest on the foregoing amount to be reimbursed by such Lender, for each day from the date of such LC Issuer’s demand for such reimbursement (or, if such demand is made after 9:00 a.m. (Pacific
time) on such date, from the next succeeding Business Day) to the date on which such Lender pays the amount to be reimbursed by it, at a rate of interest per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate for the first three (3) days and,
thereafter, at a rate of interest equal to the rate applicable to Base Rate Advances. 

  
 -38- 








 (f) Reimbursement by the Borrower. The Borrower shall be irrevocably and unconditionally
obligated to reimburse each LC Issuer on or before the applicable LC Payment Date (provided that the Borrower has received notice from the Administrative Agent of such LC Payment Date not later than 11:00 a.m. Pacific time on the LC Payment Date,
otherwise such payment shall be due on the Business Day immediately following the date on which the Borrower receives such notice) for any amounts to be paid by such LC Issuer upon any drawing under any Facility LC, without presentment, demand,
protest or other formalities of any kind; provided that neither the Borrower nor any Lender shall hereby be precluded from asserting any claim for direct (but not consequential) damages suffered by the Borrower or such Lender to the extent,
but only to the extent, caused by (i) the willful misconduct or gross negligence of such LC Issuer in determining whether a request presented under any Facility LC issued by it complied with the terms of such Facility LC or (ii) such LC
Issuer’s failure to pay under any Facility LC issued by it after the presentation to it of a request strictly complying with the terms and conditions of such Facility LC. All such amounts paid by an LC Issuer and remaining unpaid by the
Borrower shall bear interest, payable on demand, for each day until paid at a rate per annum equal to (x) the rate applicable to Base Rate Advances for such day if such day falls on or before the applicable LC Payment Date and (y) the sum
of 2.00% per annum plus the rate applicable to Base Rate Advances for such day if such day falls after such LC Payment Date. Each LC Issuer will pay to each Lender ratably in accordance with its Pro Rata Share all amounts received by it
from the Borrower for application in payment, in whole or in part, of the Reimbursement Obligation in respect of any Facility LC issued by such LC Issuer, but only to the extent such Lender has made payment to such LC Issuer in respect of such
Facility LC pursuant to Section 2.19(e). Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including without limitation the submission of a Borrowing Notice in compliance with Section 2.8 and the satisfaction of the applicable
conditions precedent set forth in Article IV), the Borrower may request an Advance hereunder for the purpose of satisfying any Reimbursement Obligation. 

(g) Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligations under this Section 2.19 shall be absolute and unconditional under any
and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment which the Borrower may have or have had against any LC Issuer, any Lender or any beneficiary of a Facility LC. The Borrower further agrees with the LC Issuers
and the Lenders that the LC Issuers and the Lenders shall not be responsible for, and the Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligation in respect of any Facility LC shall not be affected by, among other things, the validity or genuineness of documents
or of any endorsements thereon, even if such documents should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among the Borrower, any of its Affiliates, the beneficiary of any Facility LC or any
financing institution or other party to whom any Facility LC may be transferred or any claims or defenses whatsoever of the Borrower or of any of its Affiliates against the beneficiary of any Facility LC or any such transferee. The LC Issuers shall
not be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Facility LC. The Borrower agrees that any action taken or omitted by any LC
Issuer or any Lender under or in connection with each Facility LC and the related drafts and documents, if done without gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall be binding upon the Borrower and shall not put any LC Issuer or any Lender under
any liability to the Borrower. Nothing in this Section 2.19(g) is intended to limit the right of the Borrower to make a claim against an LC Issuer for damages as contemplated by the proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.19(f). 

  
 -39- 








 (h) Actions of LC Issuers. Each LC Issuer shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully
protected in relying, upon any Facility LC, draft, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, cablegram, telegram, facsimile, telex, teletype or electronic mail message, statement, order or other document believed by it to
be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by such LC Issuer. Each LC Issuer shall be fully
justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement unless it shall first have received such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it reasonably deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its reasonable
satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.19, each LC Issuer shall in all
cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon the Lenders
and any future holders of a participation in any Facility LC. 
 (i) Indemnification. The Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify and
hold harmless each Lender, each LC Issuer and the Administrative Agent, and their respective directors, officers, agents and employees from and against any and all claims and damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses (including reasonable
counsel fees and disbursements) which such Lender, such LC Issuer or the Administrative Agent may incur (or which may be claimed against such Lender, such LC Issuer or the Administrative Agent by any Person whatsoever) by reason of or in connection
with the issuance, execution and delivery or transfer of or payment or failure to pay under any Facility LC or any actual or proposed use of any Facility LC, including, without limitation, any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses
(including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements) which such LC Issuer may incur (i) by reason of or in connection with the failure of any other Lender to fulfill or comply with its obligations to such LC Issuer hereunder (but nothing
herein contained shall affect any rights the Borrower may have against any Defaulting Lender) or (ii) by reason of or on account of such LC Issuer issuing any Facility LC which specifies that the term “Beneficiary” included therein
includes any successor by operation of law of the named Beneficiary, but which Facility LC does not require that any drawing by any such successor Beneficiary be accompanied by a copy of a legal document, satisfactory to such LC Issuer, evidencing
the appointment of such successor Beneficiary; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to indemnify any Lender, any LC Issuer or the Administrative Agent for any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses to the extent,
but only to the extent, caused by (x) the willful misconduct or gross negligence of an LC Issuer in determining whether a request presented under any Facility LC complied with the terms of such Facility LC or (y) an LC Issuer’s
failure to pay under any Facility LC after the presentation to it of a request strictly complying with the terms and conditions of such Facility LC. Nothing in this Section 2.19(i) is intended to limit the obligations of the Borrower under any
other provision of this Agreement. 

  
 -40- 








 (j) Lenders’ Indemnification. Each Lender shall, ratably in accordance with its Pro
Rata Share, indemnify each LC Issuer, its affiliates and their respective directors, officers, agents and employees (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower) against any cost, expense (including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements),
claim, demand, action, loss or liability (except such as result from such indemnitees’ gross negligence or willful misconduct or such LC Issuer’s failure to pay under any Facility LC issued by it after the presentation to it of a request
strictly complying with the terms and conditions of such Facility LC) that such indemnitees may suffer or incur in connection with this Section 2.19 or any action taken or omitted by such indemnitees hereunder. 

(k) Facility LC Collateral Account. The Borrower agrees that it will, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or the Required
Lenders and until the final expiration date of any Facility LC and thereafter as long as any amount is payable to any LC Issuer or the Lenders in respect of any Facility LC, maintain a special collateral account pursuant to arrangements satisfactory
to the Administrative Agent (the “Facility LC Collateral Account”), in the name of the Borrower but under the sole dominion and control of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders and in which the Borrower shall have no
interest other than as set forth in Section 8.1. The Borrower hereby pledges, assigns and grants to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of and for the ratable benefit of the Lenders and the LC Issuers, a security interest in all of the
Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to all funds which may from time to time be on deposit in the Facility LC Collateral Account to secure the prompt and complete payment and performance of the Obligations. The Administrative Agent will
invest any funds on deposit from time to time in the Facility LC Collateral Account in certificates of deposit of U.S. Bank having a maturity not exceeding thirty (30) days. Nothing in this Section 2.19(k) shall either (i) obligate
Borrower to deposit any funds in the Facility LC Collateral Account, (ii) obligate the Administrative Agent to require the Borrower to deposit any funds in the Facility LC Collateral Account or (iii) limit the right of the Administrative
Agent to release any funds held in the Facility LC Collateral Account, in each case other than as required by Section 2.2, Section 2.19(l), Section 2.22 or Section 8.1. 

(l) Cash Collateralization. If the expiration date of any Facility LC is (i) later than the Facility Termination Date,
(ii) in the case of a Facility LC issued by a Defaulting Lender, which Defaulting Lender is replaced pursuant to Section 2.20 or (iii) in the case of a Facility LC otherwise issued by an Affected Lender that is replaced pursuant to
Section 2.20, later than the date of such replacement, the Borrower shall (x) in the case of clause (i) above, either, (A) Cash Collateralize such Facility LC not less than thirty (30) days prior to the Facility Termination
Date or (B) if acceptable to the applicable LC Issuer in its sole discretion, provide collateral or other alternatives acceptable to such LC Issuer in its sole discretion (in the case of clause (B), “Non-Cash Collateralized Letters of
Credit”) (provided that the obligations of the Lenders to make payments to the Administrative Agent for the account of an LC Issuer under Section 2.19(e) in respect of Non-Cash Collateralized Letters of Credit and the obligation of the
Borrower to pay the LC Fees and other fees required under Section 2.19(d) hereof in respect of Non-Cash Collateralized Letters of Credit shall in each case terminate on the Facility Termination Date and the Non-Cash Collateralized Letters of
Credit shall cease to be Facility LCs hereunder) or (y) in the case of clause (ii) or (iii) above, Cash Collateralize such Facility LC no later than the date of replacement of a Defaulting Lender or Affected Lender pursuant to
Section 2.20. In addition, the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize Facility LCs when required by and in accordance with Section 2.2, Section 2.22 and Section 8.1. 

  
 -41- 








 (m) Rights as a Lender. In its capacity as a Lender, each LC Issuer shall have the same
rights and obligations as any other Lender. 
  
 (n) Letters of Credit
Must Relate to Related Business. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement which may be construed to the contrary, each LC Issuer shall be obligated only to issue letters of credit in connection with the Related Business; and in no
event shall any of the LC Issuers (or any other Lender hereunder) have any obligation to issue trade letters of credit or other letters of credit that are not related to the Related Business. 

2.20 Replacement of Lender. If (a) the Borrower is required pursuant to Sections 3.1, 3.2 or 3.5 to make any additional payment to
any Lender or (b) if any Lender’s obligation to make or continue, or to convert Base Rate Advances into Eurocurrency Advances shall be suspended pursuant to Section 3.3 or (c) if any Lender defaults in its obligation to make a
Loan, reimburse the LC Issuers pursuant to Section 2.19(e) or the Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 2.4(d) or (d) if any Lender declines to approve an amendment or waiver that is approved by the Required Lenders or (e) if any
Lender otherwise becomes a Defaulting Lender (any Lender so affected, an “Affected Lender”), the Borrower may elect, if the circumstances resulting in such Lender being an Affected Lender continue, to replace such Affected Lender as a
Lender party to this Agreement, provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, and provided further that, concurrently with such replacement, (i) another bank or other
entity which is reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Swing Line Lender and which is either a Qualified Bank or reasonably satisfactory to each LC Issuer (a “Replacement Lender”) shall agree, as of such
date, to purchase for cash at par the Advances and other Obligations due to the Affected Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents pursuant to an assignment substantially in the form of Exhibit C and to become a Lender for all
purposes under this Agreement and to assume all obligations of the Affected Lender to be terminated as of such date and to comply with the requirements of Section 12.3 applicable to assignments; and (ii) the Borrower shall pay to such
Affected Lender in same day funds on the day of such replacement (A) all interest, fees and other amounts then accrued but unpaid to such Affected Lender by the Borrower hereunder to and including the date of termination, including without
limitation payments due to such Affected Lender under Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 and 3.5, and (B) an amount, if any, equal to the payment which would have been due to such Lender under Section 3.4 on the day of such replacement had the Loans
of such Affected Lender been prepaid on such date rather than sold to the replacement Lender. 
 2.21 Limitation of Interest. The
Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders intend to strictly comply with all applicable laws, including applicable usury laws. Accordingly, the provisions of this Section 2.21 shall govern and control over every other provision of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document which conflicts or is inconsistent with this Section 2.21, even if such provision declares that it controls. As used in this Section 2.21, the term “interest” includes the aggregate of all
charges, fees, benefits or other compensation which constitute interest under applicable law, provided that, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, (a) any non-principal payment shall be characterized as an expense or as
compensation for 

  
 -42- 








 
something other than the use, forbearance or detention of money and not as interest, and (b) all interest at any time contracted for, reserved, charged or received shall be amortized,
prorated, allocated and spread, in equal parts during the full term of this Agreement. In no event shall the Borrower or any other Person be obligated to pay, or any Lender have any right or privilege to reserve, receive or retain, (a) any
interest in excess of the maximum amount of nonusurious interest permitted under the applicable laws (if any) of the United States or of the State of California, or (b) total interest in excess of the amount which such Lender could lawfully
have contracted for, reserved, received, retained or charged had the interest been calculated for the full term of this Agreement at the Highest Lawful Rate. On each day, if any, that the interest rate (the “Stated Rate”) called for under
this Agreement or any other Loan Document exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, the rate at which interest shall accrue shall automatically be fixed by operation of this sentence at the Highest Lawful Rate for that day, and shall remain fixed at the
Highest Lawful Rate for each day thereafter until the total amount of interest accrued equals the total amount of interest which would have accrued if there were no such ceiling rate as is imposed by this sentence. Thereafter, interest shall accrue
at the Stated Rate unless and until the Stated Rate again exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate when the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence shall again automatically operate to limit the interest accrual rate. The daily interest rates to be
used in calculating interest at the Highest Lawful Rate shall be determined by dividing the applicable Highest Lawful Rate per annum by the number of days in the calendar year for which such calculation is being made. None of the terms and
provisions contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document which directly or indirectly relate to interest shall ever be construed without reference to this Section 2.21, or be construed to create a contract to pay for the use,
forbearance or detention of money at an interest rate in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate. If the term of any Loan or any other Obligation outstanding hereunder or under the other Loan Documents is shortened by reason of acceleration of maturity as
a result of any Event of Default or by any other cause, or by reason of any required or permitted prepayment, and if for that (or any other) reason any Lender at any time, including but not limited to, the stated maturity, is owed or receives
(and/or has received) interest in excess of interest calculated at the Highest Lawful Rate, then and in any such event all of any such excess interest shall be canceled automatically as of the date of such acceleration, prepayment or other event
which produces the excess, and, if such excess interest has been paid to such Lender, it shall be credited pro tanto against the then-outstanding principal balance of the Borrower’s Obligations to such Lender, effective as of the date or
dates when the event occurs which causes it to be excess interest, until such excess is exhausted or all of such principal has been fully paid and satisfied, whichever occurs first, and any remaining balance of such excess shall be promptly refunded
to its payor. 
 2.22 Defaulting Lenders. 

(a) Defaulting Lender Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a
Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law: 

(i) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or
consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Required Lenders. 

  
 -43- 








 (ii) Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees
or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VII or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender
pursuant to Section 11.1 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder;
second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any LC Issuer and Swing Line Lender hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize each LC Issuer’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such
Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 2.22(d); fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its
portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account (including the Facility LC Collateral Account) and
released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) Cash Collateralize each LC Issuer’s future Fronting Exposure with respect
to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Facility LCs issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 2.22(d); sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the LC Issuers or Swing Line Lender as a result of
any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, any LC Issuer or Swing Line Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh,
so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such
Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; eighth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent, distributed to the Lenders other than the Defaulting Lender until the ratio of the Outstanding Credit Exposures of
such Lenders to the Aggregate Outstanding Credit Exposure of all Lenders equals such ratio immediately prior to the Defaulting Lender’s failure to fund any portion of any Loans or participations in Facility LCs or Swing Line Loans; and
ninth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or Facility LC issuances in respect of which such
Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Facility LCs were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be
applied solely to pay the Credit Extensions of all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Credit Extensions of such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded
participations in LC Obligations and Swing Line Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments without giving effect to Section 2.22(a)(iv). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting
Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.22(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents
hereto. If there is more than one LC Issuer, amounts in respect of the Fronting Exposure of each LC Issuer under this Section 2.22(a)(ii) shall be determined on a pro rata basis based on the respective Fronting Exposures of each such LC Issuer.


  
 -44- 








 (iii) Certain Fees. 

(A) No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any Unused Fee for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting
Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender). 

(B) Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive LC Fees for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender
only to the extent allocable to its ratable share of the stated amount of Facility LCs for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 2.22(d). 

(C) With respect to any Unused Fee or LC Fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (A) or
(B) above, the Borrower shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in LC Obligations or Swing Line Loans
that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv) below, (y) pay to each LC Issuer and Swing Line Lender, as applicable, the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent
allocable to such LC Issuer’s or Swing Line Lender’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee. 

(iv) Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s
participation in LC Obligations and Swing Line Loans shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) but only to the
extent that (x) the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless the Borrower shall have otherwise notified the Administrative Agent at such time, the Borrower shall be deemed to have
represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time), and (y) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Outstanding Credit Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Commitment.
No reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of
such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation. 
 (v) Cash Collateral; Repayment of
Swing Line Loans. If the reallocation described in clause (iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, (x) first, prepay
Swing Line Loans in an amount equal to the Swing Line Lender’s Fronting Exposure and (y) second, Cash Collateralize each LC Issuer’s Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.22(d). 

  
 -45- 








 (b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line
Lender and the LC Issuers agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set
forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative
Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Facility LCs and Swing Line Loans to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with the Commitments (without giving effect to
Section 2.22(a)(iv)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was
a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any
party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. 
 (c) New Swing Line Loans/Facility LCs. So long as
any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (i) the Swing Line Lender shall not be required to fund any Swing Line Loans unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect to such Swing Line Loan and (ii) no LC Issuer
shall be required to issue, extend, renew or increase any Facility LC unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto. 

(d) Cash Collateral. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, within one (1) Business Day following the written
request of the Administrative Agent or any LC Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize such LC Issuer’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender (determined after giving effect to
Section 2.22(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender) in an amount not less than the Minimum Collateral Amount. 

(i) Grant of Security Interest. The Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting
Lender, hereby grant(s) to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the LC Issuers, and agree(s) to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such Cash Collateral as security for the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund
participations in respect of LC Obligations, to be applied pursuant to clause (ii) below. If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent
and the LC Issuers as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the Minimum Collateral Amount, the Borrower will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent
additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency (after giving effect to any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender). 

(ii) Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under
this Section 2.22 in respect of Facility LCs shall be applied to the satisfaction of the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of LC Obligations (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender,
any interest accrued on such obligation) for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such Property as may otherwise be provided for herein. 

  
 -46- 








 (iii) Termination of Requirement. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate
portion thereof) provided to reduce an LC Issuer’s Fronting Exposure shall no longer be required to be held as Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.22(d) following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure
(including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender), or (ii) the determination by the Administrative Agent and the applicable LC Issuers that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided that, subject to
this Section 2.22 the Person providing Cash Collateral and the applicable LC Issuer may agree that Cash Collateral shall be held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations. 

(e) Borrower’s Rights. Without limitation of the foregoing, Borrower shall have such rights and remedies against a Defaulting
Lender as are available at law or in equity. 
 2.23 [Intentionally Omitted.] 

2.24 Increase Option. Subject to the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld), the Borrower
may from time to time (but in no event more than 3 times in the aggregate) elect to increase the Commitments, in each case in integral multiples of $5,000,000 (but not less than $25,000,000) or such lower amount as the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent agree upon, so long as, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate amount of such increases (when added to the existing Aggregate Commitment) does not exceed $575,000,000. The Borrower may arrange for any such increase to be
provided by one or more Lenders (each Lender so agreeing to an increase in its Commitment, an “Increasing Lender”), or by one or more new Eligible Assignees (each such new Eligible Assignee, an “Augmenting Lender”), to increase
their existing Commitments, or provide new Commitments, as the case may be; provided that (i) each Augmenting Lender and each Increasing Lender shall be subject to the approval of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Swing Line
Lender, in each case not to be unreasonably withheld, and shall be either a Qualified Bank or approved by each LC Issuer, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, and (ii) (x) in the case of an Increasing Lender, the Borrower and
such Increasing Lender execute an agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit G hereto, and (y) in the case of an Augmenting Lender, the Borrower and such Augmenting Lender execute an agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit H hereto.
In no event shall any Lender become an Increasing Lender or an Augmenting Lender without such Lender’s prior written consent (in its sole discretion). No consent of any Lender (other than the Administrative Agent and the Lenders participating
in the increase) shall be required for any increase in Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.24. Increases and new Commitments created pursuant to this Section 2.24 shall become effective on the date agreed by the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent and the relevant Increasing Lenders or Augmenting Lenders, and the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no increase in the Commitments (or in the Commitment of any Lender) shall
become effective under this paragraph unless, (1) on the proposed date of the effectiveness of such increase, the conditions set forth in paragraphs (a) and (b) of Section 4.2 shall be satisfied (or waived by the Required
Lenders) and the 

  
 -47- 








 
Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower and (2) the Administrative Agent shall have
received documents consistent with those delivered on the Effective Date as to the corporate power and authority of the Borrower to borrow hereunder after giving effect to such increase, as well as such documents as the Administrative Agent may
reasonably request (including, without limitation, customary opinions of counsel and affirmations of Loan Documents and pro forma compliance with the financial covenants set forth in Section 6.19). On the effective date of any increase in the
Commitments, (i) each relevant Increasing Lender and Augmenting Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent such amounts in immediately available funds as the Administrative Agent shall determine, for the benefit of the other
Lenders, as being required in order to cause, after giving effect to such increase and the use of such amounts to make payments to such other Lenders, each Lender’s portion of the outstanding Revolving Loans of all the Lenders to equal its Pro
Rata Share of such outstanding Revolving Loans, and (ii) the Borrower shall be deemed to have repaid and reborrowed all outstanding Revolving Loans as of the date of any increase in the Commitments (with such reborrowing to consist of the Types
of Revolving Loans, with related Interest Periods if applicable, specified in a notice delivered by the Borrower, in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.8). The deemed payments made pursuant to clause (ii) of the immediately
preceding sentence shall be accompanied by payment of all accrued interest on the amount prepaid and, in respect of each Eurocurrency Loan, shall be subject to indemnification by the Borrower pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.4 if the
deemed payment occurs other than on the last day of the related Interest Periods. Nothing contained in this Section 2.24 shall constitute, or otherwise be deemed to be, a commitment on the part of any Lender to increase its Commitment hereunder
at any time. 
 2.25 Returned Payments. If after receipt of any payment which is applied to the payment of all or any part of the
Obligations, the Administrative Agent or any Lender is for any reason compelled to surrender such payment or proceeds to any Person because such payment or application of proceeds is invalidated, declared fraudulent, set aside, determined to be void
or voidable as a preference, impermissible setoff, or a diversion of trust funds, or for any other reason, then the Obligations or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued and this Agreement shall continue in full force
as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by the Administrative Agent or such Lender. The provisions of this Section 2.25 shall be and remain effective notwithstanding any contrary action which may have been taken by the
Administrative Agent or any Lender in reliance upon such payment or application of proceeds. The provisions of this Section 2.25 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

PROTECTION; TAXES 
 3.1 Yield Protection. If, after the date of this Agreement, there occurs any adoption of or change in
any law, rule, regulation, guideline, interpretation, or directive (whether or not having the force of law) or in the interpretation, promulgation, implementation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable
agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, including, notwithstanding the foregoing, all requests, rules, guidelines or directives (x) in connection with the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act or

 -48- 








 
authority) or the United States financial regulatory authorities, in each case under clause (y) pursuant to Basel III, and in each case under clauses (x) and (y), regardless of the date
enacted (subject to Section 3.7 below), adopted, issued, promulgated or implemented, or compliance by any Lender or applicable Lending Installation or any LC Issuer with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any
such authority, central bank or comparable agency (any of the foregoing, a “Change in Law”) which: 
 (a) subjects any Lender or
any applicable Lending Installation, any LC Issuer, or the Administrative Agent to any Taxes (other than with respect to Indemnified Taxes, Excluded Taxes, and Other Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other
obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto, or 
 (b) imposes or increases or deems
applicable any reserve, assessment, insurance charge, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation or LC Issuer (other than
reserves and assessments taken into account in determining the interest rate applicable to Eurocurrency Advances), or 
 (c) imposes any
other condition (other than Taxes) the result of which is to increase the cost to any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation or LC Issuer of making, funding or maintaining its Eurocurrency Loans, or of issuing or participating in Facility
LCs, or reduces any amount receivable by any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation or LC Issuer in connection with its Eurocurrency Loans, Facility LCs or participations therein, or requires any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation
or LC Issuer to make any payment calculated by reference to the amount of Eurocurrency Loans, Facility LCs or participations therein held or interest or LC Fees received by it, by an amount deemed material by such Lender or LC Issuer, as the case
may be, and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Person of making or maintaining its Loans or Commitment or of issuing or participating in Facility LCs or to reduce the amount received by such Person in connection with
such Loans or Commitment, Facility LCs or participations therein, then, within fifteen (15) days after demand by such Person, the Borrower shall pay such Person, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such
Person for such increased cost or reduction in amount received. 
 3.2 Changes in Capital Adequacy Regulations. If a Lender or LC
Issuer determines that the amount of capital or liquidity required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or LC Issuer, any Lending Installation of such Lender or LC Issuer, or any corporation or holding company controlling such Lender or LC
Issuer is increased as a result of (i) a Change in Law or (ii) any change after the date of this Agreement in the Risk-Based Capital Guidelines, then, within fifteen (15) days after demand by such Lender or LC Issuer, the Borrower
shall pay such Lender or the LC Issuer the amount necessary to compensate for any shortfall in the rate of return on the portion of such increased capital or liquidity which such Lender or LC Issuer determines is attributable to this Agreement, its
Outstanding Credit Exposure or its Commitment to make Loans and issue or participate in Facility LCs, as the case may be, hereunder (after taking into account such Lender’s or LC Issuer’s policies as to capital adequacy or liquidity), in
each case that is attributable to such Change in Law or change in the Risk-Based Capital Guidelines, as applicable. 

  
 -49- 








 3.3 Availability of Types of Advances; Adequacy of Interest Rate. If the Administrative
Agent or the Required Lenders determine that deposits of a type and maturity appropriate to match fund Eurocurrency Advances are not available to such Lenders in the relevant market or the Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Lenders,
determines that the interest rate applicable to Eurocurrency Advances is not ascertainable or does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost of making or maintaining Eurocurrency Advances, then the Administrative Agent shall suspend the
availability of Eurocurrency Advances and require any affected Eurocurrency Advances to be repaid or converted to Base Rate Advances, subject to the payment of any funding indemnification amounts required by Section 3.4. 

3.4 Funding Indemnification. If (a) any payment of a Eurocurrency Advance occurs on a date which is not the last day of the
applicable Interest Period, whether because of acceleration, prepayment or otherwise, (b) a Eurocurrency Advance is not made on the date specified by the Borrower for any reason other than default by the Lenders, (c) a Eurocurrency Loan is
converted other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (d) the Borrower fails to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurocurrency Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto, or (e) any
Eurocurrency Loan is assigned other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.20, the Borrower will indemnify each Lender for such Lender’s costs, expenses
and Interest Differential (as determined by such Lender) incurred as a result of such prepayment. The term “Interest Differential” shall mean that sum equal to the greater of zero or the financial loss incurred by the Lender resulting from
prepayment, calculated as the difference between the amount of interest such Lender would have earned (from the investments in money markets as of the Borrowing Date of such Advance) had prepayment not occurred and the interest such Lender will
actually earn (from like investments in money markets as of the date of prepayment) as a result of the redeployment of funds from the prepayment. Because of the short-term nature of this facility, the Borrower agrees that Interest Differential shall
not be discounted to its present value. 
 3.5 Taxes. 

(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or
withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment, then the applicable Loan Party shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and
shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax or Other Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased
as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.5) the applicable Lender, LC Issuer or the Administrative Agent
receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made. 

  
 -50- 








 (b) The Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with
applicable law or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes. 
 (c) The Loan Parties
shall indemnify each Lender, LC Issuer or the Administrative Agent, within fifteen (15) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Tax (including Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or
attributable to amounts payable under this Section 3.5) payable or paid by such Lender, LC Issuer or the Administrative Agent or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Lender, LC Issuer or the Administrative Agent and any
reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment
or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or LC Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or LC Issuer, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

(d) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within fifteen (15) days after demand therefor, for (i) any
Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan
Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 12.2(c) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register, and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such
Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or
asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the
Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative
Agent under this paragraph (d). 
 (e) As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority
pursuant to this Section 3.5, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or
other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 
 (f) (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption
from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such
properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably
requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the 

  
 -51- 








 
Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 3.5(f)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be
required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. 

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, 

(A) any Lender that is a United States Person for U.S. federal income Tax purposes shall deliver to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9
certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding Tax; 
 (B) any Non-U.S. Lender shall, to the
extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Non-U.S. Lender becomes a Lender under this
Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable: 

(1) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of an income Tax treaty to which the United States is a party
(x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such Tax
treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other
income” article of such Tax treaty; 
 (2) executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI; 

(3) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c)
of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Non-U.S. Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of
Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN; or 

  
 -52- 








 (4) to the extent a Non-U.S. Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed
originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8IMY or IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable. 

(C) any Non-U.S. Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Non-U.S. Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be
prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and 

(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if
such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent
at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code)
and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has
complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this
Agreement. 
 (iii) Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete
or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. 

(g) If any 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 3.5 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.5), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity
payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental
Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such 

  
 -53- 








 
indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such
indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant
to this paragraph (g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified 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 paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax
returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person. 
 (h)
Each party’s obligations under this Section 3.5 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment,
satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document. 
 (i) For purposes of Section 3.5(d) and (f), the term
“Lender” includes the LC Issuer. 
 3.6 Selection of Lending Installation; Mitigation Obligations; Lender Statements; Survival
of Indemnity. To the extent reasonably possible, each Lender shall designate an alternate Lending Installation with respect to its Eurocurrency Loans to reduce any liability of the Borrower to such Lender under Sections 3.1, 3.2 and 3.5 or to
avoid the unavailability of Eurocurrency Advances under Section 3.3, so long as such designation is not, in the judgment of such Lender, disadvantageous to such Lender. Each Lender shall deliver a written statement of such Lender to the
Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) as to the amount due, if any, under Section 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 or 3.5. Such written statement shall set forth in reasonable detail the calculations upon which such Lender determined such amount and
shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Borrower in the absence of manifest error. Determination of amounts payable under such Sections in connection with a Eurocurrency Loan shall be calculated as though each Lender funded its Eurocurrency
Loan through the purchase of a deposit of the type and maturity corresponding to the deposit used as a reference in determining the Eurocurrency Rate applicable to such Loan, whether in fact that is the case or not. Unless otherwise provided herein,
the amount specified in the written statement of any Lender shall be due within ten (10) days after receipt by the Borrower of such written statement. The obligations of the Borrower under Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.4, 3.5 and 3.7 shall survive
payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement. 
 3.7 Cutoff. Failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent
or any Lender, Lending Installation, or LC Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to Section 3.1 or 3.2 shall not constitute a waiver of such Person’s right to demand such compensation; provided that Borrower shall not be required to
compensate any such Person for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than nine months prior to the date that such Person notifies Borrower of the event giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Person’s intention
to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the event giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

 -56- 








 ARTICLE V 

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES 

The Borrower represents and warrants to the Lenders that: 

5.1 Existence and Standing. Each of the Borrower and Guarantors is a corporation or (in the case of Guarantors only) partnership or
limited liability company duly and properly incorporated, organized or formed, as the case may be, validly existing and (to the extent such concept applies to such entity) in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation,
organization or formation, as applicable, and has all requisite authority to conduct its business in each jurisdiction in which its business is conducted (except to the extent that a failure to maintain such existence, good standing or authority
would not reasonably be expected to have and does not have a Material Adverse Effect). Except as expressly permitted herein, Borrower shall not change its name, identity, or organizational structure, unless Borrower shall have obtained the
prior written consent of Administrative Agent to such change (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). 
 5.2
Authorization and Validity. The Borrower has the corporate power and authority and legal right to execute and deliver the Loan Documents to which it is a party and to perform its obligations thereunder. The execution and delivery by the
Borrower of the Loan Documents to which it is a party and the performance of its obligations thereunder have been duly authorized by proper corporate proceedings, and the Loan Documents to which the Borrower is a party constitute legal, valid and
binding obligations of the Borrower enforceable against the Borrower in accordance with their terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and
general principles of equity. Each Guarantor has the corporate, limited liability company or limited partnership (as applicable) power and authority to execute and deliver the Guaranty delivered by it and to perform its obligations thereunder. The
execution and delivery by each Guarantor of such Guaranty and the performance of its obligations thereunder have been duly authorized, and each Guaranty constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligations of such Guarantor enforceable against such
Guarantor in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and general principles of equity. 

5.3 No Conflict; Government Consent. Neither the execution and delivery by the Borrower or any Guarantor of the Loan Documents to which
it is a party, nor the consummation of the transactions therein contemplated, nor compliance with the provisions thereof will violate in any material respect (i) any law, rule, regulation, order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree or award
binding on the Borrower or any Guarantor or (ii) the Borrower’s or any Guarantor’s articles or certificate of incorporation, partnership agreement, certificate of partnership, articles or certificate of organization, by-laws, or
operating or other management agreement, as the case may be, or (iii) the provisions of any indenture, instrument or agreement to which the Borrower or any Guarantor is a party or is subject, or by which it, or its Property, is bound, or
conflict with or constitute a default thereunder, or result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien 

  
 -57- 








 
in, of or on the Property of the Borrower or any Guarantor pursuant to the terms of any such indenture, instrument or agreement. No order, consent, adjudication, approval, license, authorization,
or validation of, or filing, recording or registration with, or exemption by, or other action in respect of any governmental or public body or authority, or any subdivision thereof, which has not been obtained by the Borrower or any Guarantor, is
required to be obtained by the Borrower or any Guarantor in connection with the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, the borrowings under this Agreement, the payment and performance by the Borrower or any Guarantor of the Obligations or the
legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability of any of the Loan Documents. 
 5.4 Financial Statements. The December 31,
2013 audited consolidated financial statements of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, and their unaudited financial statements dated as of March 31, 2014, heretofore delivered to the Lenders were prepared in accordance with GAAP in effect on the
date such statements were prepared and fairly present, in all material respects, the consolidated financial condition and operations of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries at such date and the consolidated results of their operations for the period
then ended, subject to (in the case of such unaudited financial statements) final audit adjustments and the absence of footnotes. 
 5.5
Material Adverse Change. Since the date of the most recent audited financial statements of the Borrower delivered to the Administrative Agent, there has been no change in the business, Property, financial condition or results of operations of
the Borrower and the Guarantors which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 5.6 Taxes. The Borrower and
Guarantors have filed all United States federal and state income Tax returns and all other material Tax returns which are required to be filed by them and have paid all United States federal and state income Taxes and all other material Taxes due
from the Borrower and Guarantors pursuant to such returns or pursuant to any material assessment received by the Borrower or any Guarantor, except for such Taxes or assessments, if any, as are being contested in good faith and as to which adequate
reserves have been provided. No Tax Liens have been filed and no claims are being asserted with respect to any such Taxes that have had or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

5.7 Litigation. There is no litigation, arbitration, governmental investigation, proceeding or inquiry pending or, to the knowledge of
any Senior Officer, threatened in writing against or affecting the Borrower or any Guarantor which would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or which seeks to prevent, enjoin or delay the making of any Credit Extensions. 

5.8 Subsidiaries. Schedule 5.8 contains an accurate list of all Subsidiaries of the Borrower as of the date of this Agreement, setting
forth their respective jurisdictions of organization and the percentage of their respective capital stock or other ownership interests owned by the Borrower or other Subsidiaries. All of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock or other
ownership interests of such Subsidiaries have been (to the extent such concepts are relevant with respect to such ownership interests) duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and non-assessable. The Guarantors are all of the
Significant Homebuilding Subsidiaries, subject to any grace periods provided therefor in Section 6.20. 

  
 -58- 








 5.9 ERISA. With respect to each Plan, the Borrower and all ERISA Affiliates have paid all
required minimum contributions and installments on or before the due dates provided under Section 430(j) of the Code and could not reasonably be subject to a lien under Section 430(k) of the Code or Title IV of ERISA. Neither the Borrower
nor any ERISA Affiliate has filed, pursuant to Section 412(c) of the Code or Section 302(c) of ERISA, an application for a waiver of the minimum funding standard. No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that, when
taken together with all other such ERISA Events for which liability is reasonably expected to occur, would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 

5.10 Accuracy of Information. No written information, exhibit or report furnished by the Borrower or any of its Guarantors (taken as a
whole) to the Administrative Agent or to any Lender in connection with the negotiation of, or compliance with, the Loan Documents (taken as a whole) contained any material misstatement of fact or omitted to state a material fact or any fact
necessary to make the statements (taken as a whole) contained therein not misleading at the time the statements are furnished or dated; provided, that (a) with respect to information relating to the Borrower’s industry generally and trade
data which relates to a Person that is not the Borrower or a Subsidiary thereof, the Borrower represents and warrants only that such information is believed by it in good faith to be accurate in all material respects, (b) with respect to
financial statements, other than projected financial information, the Borrower represents only that such financial statements present fairly in all material respects the consolidated financial condition of the applicable Person as of the dates
indicated and (c) with respect to projected financial information, the Borrower represents only that such information was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time. 

5.11 Regulation U. Margin stock (as defined in Regulation U) constitutes less than 25% of the value of those assets of the Borrower and
its Subsidiaries which are subject to any limitation on sale, pledge, or other restriction hereunder. 
 5.12 Material Agreements.
Neither the Borrower nor any Guarantor is in default in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in (i) any agreement to which it is a party or (ii) any agreement or instrument
evidencing or governing Indebtedness, which default (in the case of clauses (i) and (ii)) would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

5.13 Compliance With Laws. The Borrower and the Guarantors are in compliance with all applicable statutes, rules, regulations, orders
and restrictions of any domestic or foreign government or any instrumentality or agency thereof having jurisdiction over the conduct of their respective businesses or the ownership of their respective Property, the violation of which would
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

sale of any Property or service) with, or make any payment or transfer to, any Affiliate (other than a Subsidiary) except (i) in the ordinary course of business and upon fair and reasonable terms no less favorable to the Borrower or such

6.21 Negative Pledge. Neither the Borrower nor any Guarantor will directly or indirectly enter into any agreement (other than this
Agreement) with any Person that prohibits or restricts or limits the ability of the Borrower or Guarantors to create, incur, pledge or suffer to exist any Lien in favor of Lenders granted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement upon any real
property assets of the Borrower or any Guarantor; provided, however, that those agreements creating Liens permitted under clause (vi) of the definition of “Permitted Liens” (solely to the extent any Lien
restrictions thereunder relate solely to limiting the aggregate amount of secured debt on a per lot basis in a market and customary manner, provided that if the Book Value of all Qualified Real Property Inventory covered by any such agreement
exceeds the aggregate amount of secured debt permitted under such agreement on all such property, then for purposes of calculating the Borrowing Base, the Book Value shall be deemed to be reduced to such aggregate permitted secured debt amount)
Sections 6.15(iii), (iv), (vii), (viii), (xix) and (xxii), agreements governing any Rate Management Transactions, and agreements respecting secured obligations for borrowed money may prohibit, restrict or limit other Liens on those assets
encumbered by the Liens created by such agreements, and provided further that the foregoing shall not apply to restrictions and conditions (a) imposed by the Loan Documents, (b) imposed by the Indenture, or by the agreements
governing any other unsecured obligations for borrowed money permitted under this Agreement, so long as such restrictions (including Lien restrictions) set forth therein are not materially more restrictive than the comparable provisions of this

conditions apply only to the assets subject to such disposition, (d) contained in leases or other agreements that are customary and restrict the assignment (or subletting) thereof and relate only to the assets subject thereto, (e) set
forth in any Refinancing Indebtedness (so long as such restrictions set forth therein are not materially more restrictive than the comparable provisions of the Indebtedness being refinanced), or (f) that are customary net worth provisions
contained in real property leases. 
 6.22 Operating Accounts. Borrower shall at all times maintain all of its principal cash

 ARTICLE VIII 

ACCELERATION, WAIVERS, AMENDMENTS AND REMEDIES 

8.1 Acceleration; Remedies. If any Event of Default described in Section 7.6 or 7.7 occurs with respect to the Borrower, the
obligations of the Lenders to make Loans hereunder and the obligation and power of the LC Issuers to issue Facility LCs shall automatically terminate and the Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall immediately become due
and payable without any election or action on the part of the Administrative Agent, any LC Issuer or any Lender and the Borrower will be and become thereby unconditionally obligated, without any further notice, act or demand, to pay to the
Administrative Agent an amount in immediately available funds, which funds shall be held in the Facility LC Collateral Account, equal to the difference of (x) the amount of LC Obligations at such time, less (y) the amount on deposit in the
Facility LC Collateral Account at such time which is free and clear of all rights and claims of third parties and has not been applied against the Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (such difference, the “Collateral
Shortfall Amount”). If any other Event of Default occurs, the Administrative Agent may, and at the request of the Required Lenders shall, (a) terminate or suspend the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans hereunder and the obligation
and power of the LC Issuers to issue Facility LCs, or declare the Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to be due and payable, or both, whereupon the Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall become
immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which the Borrower hereby expressly waives, and (b) upon notice to the Borrower and in addition to the continuing right to demand payment of all
amounts payable under this Agreement, make demand on the Borrower to pay, and the Borrower will, forthwith upon such demand and without any further notice or act, pay to the Administrative Agent the Collateral Shortfall Amount, which funds shall be
deposited in the Facility LC Collateral Account. 
 (a) If at any time while any Event of Default is continuing, the Administrative Agent
determines that the Collateral Shortfall Amount at such time is greater than zero, the Administrative Agent may make demand on the Borrower to pay, and the Borrower will, forthwith upon such demand and without any further notice or act, pay to the
Administrative Agent the Collateral Shortfall Amount, which funds shall be deposited in the Facility LC Collateral Account. 
 (b) The
Administrative Agent may at any time or from time to time after funds are deposited in the Facility LC Collateral Account, apply such funds to the payment of the Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other amounts as
shall from time to time have become due and payable by the Borrower to the Lenders or the LC Issuers under the Loan Documents, as provided in Section 8.2. 

(c) At any time while any Event of Default is continuing, neither the Borrower nor any Person claiming on behalf of or through the Borrower
shall have any right to withdraw any of the funds held in the Facility LC Collateral Account. After all of the Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents have been paid in full (other than contingent indemnification obligations
for which no claim has been made) and the Aggregate Commitment has been terminated (including all LC Obligations), any funds remaining in the Facility LC Collateral Account shall be returned by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower or paid to
whomever may be legally entitled thereto at such time. 
 (d) If, within thirty (30) days after acceleration of the maturity of the
Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or termination of the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans and the obligation and power of the LC Issuers to issue 

  
 -78- 








 
Facility LCs hereunder as a result of any Event of Default (other than any Event of Default as described in Section 7.6 or 7.7 with respect to the Borrower) and before any judgment or decree
for the payment of the Obligations due under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall have been obtained or entered, the Required Lenders (in their sole discretion) shall so direct, the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the Borrower,
rescind and annul such acceleration and/or termination. 
 (e) Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, the
Administrative Agent may, and at the request of the Required Lenders shall, exercise all rights and remedies under the Loan Documents and enforce all other rights and remedies under applicable law. 

8.2 Application of Funds. After the exercise of remedies provided for in Section 8.1 (or after the Obligations under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents have automatically become immediately due and payable as set forth in the first sentence of Section 8.1(a)), any amounts received by the Administrative Agent on account of the Obligations shall be applied
by the Administrative Agent in the following order: 
 (a) First, to payment of fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts (including
fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent and amounts payable under Article III) payable to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such; 

(b) Second, to payment of fees, indemnities and other amounts (other than principal, interest, LC Fees and Unused Fees) payable to the Lenders
and the LC Issuers (including fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the respective Lenders and the LC Issuers as required by Section 9.6 and amounts payable under Article III); 

(c) Third, to payment of accrued and unpaid LC Fees, Unused Fees and interest on the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations, ratably among the
Lenders and the LC Issuers in proportion to the respective amounts described in this Section 8.2(c) payable to them; 
 (d) Fourth, to
payment of all Obligations ratably among the Lenders; 
 (e) Fifth, to the Administrative Agent for deposit to the Facility LC Collateral
Account in an amount equal to the Collateral Shortfall Amount (as defined in Section 8.1(a)), if any; and 
 (f) Last, the balance, if
any, to the Borrower or as otherwise required by law. 
 8.3 Amendments. Subject to the provisions of this Section 8.3, the
Required Lenders (or the Administrative Agent with the consent in writing of the Required Lenders) and the Borrower may enter into agreements supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding or modifying any provisions to this Agreement or the Guaranty
or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders or the Borrower hereunder or thereunder or waiving any Default or Event of Default hereunder; provided, however, that no such supplemental agreement shall: 

  
 -79- 








 (a) without the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, extend the final maturity of
any Loan, or extend the expiry date of any Facility LC to a date after the Facility Termination Date or postpone any regularly scheduled payment of principal of any Loan or forgive all or any portion of the principal amount thereof, the interest
accrued thereon, or fees due in respect thereof, or any Reimbursement Obligation related thereto, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or fees thereon or Reimbursement Obligations related thereto or increase the amount of the
Commitment of such Lender hereunder. 
 (b) without the consent of all of the Lenders, reduce the percentage specified in the definition of
Required Lenders. 
 (c) without the consent of all of the Lenders, amend this Section 8.3. 

(d) without the consent of all of the Lenders, release a Guarantor from the Obligations (except as provided
in Section 6.20(b)). 
 (e) without the consent of all of the Lenders, amend the LC Issuer’s LC Limit or the Swing Line
Sublimit. 
 No amendment of any provision of this Agreement relating to the Administrative Agent shall be effective without the written
consent of the Administrative Agent, and no amendment of any provision relating to the LC Issuers shall be effective without the written consent of the LC Issuers. No amendment to any provision of this Agreement relating to the Swing Line Lender or
any Swing Line Loans shall be effective without the written consent of the Swing Line Lender. The Administrative Agent may waive payment of the fee required under Section 12.3(a)(iii) without obtaining the consent of any other party to this
Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Administrative Agent may, with the consent of the Borrower only, amend, modify or supplement this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to cure any ambiguity, omission, mistake,
defect or inconsistency of a technical or immaterial nature, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent. 
 8.4 Preservation
of Rights. No delay or omission of the Lenders, the LC Issuers or the Administrative Agent to exercise any right under the Loan Documents shall impair such right or be construed to be a waiver of any Event of Default or an acquiescence therein,
and the making of a Credit Extension notwithstanding the existence of an Event of Default or the inability of the Borrower to satisfy the conditions precedent to such Credit Extension shall not constitute any waiver or acquiescence. Any single or
partial exercise of any such right shall not preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, and no waiver, amendment or other variation of the terms, conditions or provisions of the Loan Documents whatsoever shall be
valid unless in writing signed by the Lenders required pursuant to Section 8.3, and then only to the extent in such writing specifically set forth. All remedies contained in the Loan Documents or by law afforded shall be cumulative and all
shall be available to the Administrative Agent, the LC Issuers and the Lenders until the Obligations have been paid in full.

attorneys’ fees, charges and disbursements and settlement costs (including, without limitation, all expenses of litigation or preparation therefor) whether or not the Administrative Agent, the Arranger, any LC Issuer, any Swing Line Lender, any

inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid without affecting the remaining provisions in that jurisdiction or the operation, enforceability, or validity of

 ARTICLE X 

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT 

10.1 Appointment; Nature of Relationship. U.S. Bank National Association is hereby appointed by each of the Lenders as its contractual
representative (herein referred to as the “Administrative Agent”) hereunder and under each other Loan Document, and each of the Lenders irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the contractual representative of such Lender
with the rights and duties expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. The Administrative Agent agrees to act as such contractual representative upon the express conditions contained in this Article X. Notwithstanding the use of the
defined term “Administrative Agent,” it is expressly understood and agreed that the Administrative Agent shall not have any fiduciary responsibilities to any Lender by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document and that the
Administrative Agent is merely acting as the contractual representative of the Lenders with only those duties as are expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. In its capacity as the Lenders’ contractual representative,
the Administrative Agent (i) does not hereby assume any fiduciary duties to any of the Lenders and (ii) is acting as an independent contractor, the rights and duties of which are limited to those expressly set forth in this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents. Each of the Lenders hereby agrees to assert no claim against the Administrative Agent on any agency theory or any other theory of liability for breach of fiduciary duty, all of which claims each Lender hereby waives. 

10.2 Powers. The Administrative Agent shall have and may exercise such powers under the Loan Documents as are specifically delegated to
the Administrative Agent by the terms of each thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Administrative Agent shall have no implied duties to the Lenders, or any obligation to the Lenders to take any action
thereunder except any action specifically provided by the Loan Documents to be taken by the Administrative Agent. 
 10.3 General
Immunity. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable to the Borrower, the Lenders or any Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder or under any other
Loan Document or in connection herewith or therewith except to the extent such action or inaction is determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of
such Person. 
 10.4 No Responsibility for Loans, Recitals, etc. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers,
agents or employees shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, or verify (a) any statement, warranty or representation made in connection with any Loan Document or any borrowing hereunder; (b) the performance or
observance of any of the covenants or agreements of any obligor under any Loan Document, including, without limitation, any agreement by an obligor to furnish information directly to each Lender; (c) the satisfaction of any condition specified
in Article IV, except receipt of items required to be delivered solely to the Administrative Agent; (d) the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default; (e) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness, sufficiency or
genuineness of any Loan Document or any other instrument or writing furnished in connection 

  
 -85- 








 
therewith; (f) the value, sufficiency, creation, perfection or priority of any Lien in any collateral security; or (g) the financial condition of the Borrower or any guarantor of any of
the Obligations or of any of the Borrower’s or any such guarantor’s respective Subsidiaries. 
 10.5 Action on Instructions of
Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder and under any other Loan Document in accordance with written instructions signed by the Required Lenders, and such
instructions and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of the Lenders. The Lenders hereby acknowledge that the Administrative Agent shall be under no duty to take any discretionary action permitted to be taken
by it pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall be requested in writing to do so by the Required Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action
hereunder and under any other Loan Document unless it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders pro rata against any and all liability, cost and expense that it may incur by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.

 10.6 Employment of Agents and Counsel. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties as Administrative Agent hereunder
and under any other Loan Document by or through employees, agents, and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be answerable to the Lenders, except as to money or securities received by it or its authorized agents, for the default or misconduct of any such
agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning the contractual arrangement between the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and all matters pertaining to
the Administrative Agent’s duties hereunder and under any other Loan Document. 
 10.7 Reliance on Documents; Counsel. The
Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any Note, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex, electronic mail message, statement, paper or document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have
been signed or sent by the proper Person or Persons, and, in respect to legal matters, upon the opinion of counsel selected by the Administrative Agent, which counsel may be employees of the Administrative Agent. For purposes of determining
compliance with the conditions specified in Sections 4.1 and 4.2, each Lender that has signed this Agreement shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter required thereunder to be
consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from such Lender prior to the applicable date specifying its objection thereto. 

10.8 Administrative Agent’s Reimbursement and Indemnification. The Lenders agree to reimburse and indemnify the Administrative
Agent ratably in proportion to their respective Pro Rata Shares (disregarding, for the avoidance of doubt, the exclusion of Defaulting Lenders therein) (i) for any amounts not reimbursed by the Borrower for which the Administrative Agent is
entitled to reimbursement by the Borrower under the Loan Documents, (ii) for any other expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders, in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration and
enforcement of the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, for any expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with any dispute between the Administrative Agent and any Lender or between two or more of the Lenders) and
(iii) for any liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, 

  
 -86- 








 
actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating
to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any other document delivered in connection therewith or the transactions contemplated thereby (including, without limitation, for any such amounts incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in
connection with any dispute between the Administrative Agent and any Lender or between two or more of the Lenders), or the enforcement of any of the terms of the Loan Documents or of any such other documents, provided that (i) no Lender
shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent any of the foregoing is found in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent
and (ii) any indemnification required pursuant to Section 3.5(d) shall, notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 10.8, be paid by the relevant Lender in accordance with the provisions thereof. The obligations of the Lenders
under this Section 10.8 shall survive payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement. 
 10.9 Notice of Event of
Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring
to this Agreement describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice
thereof to the Lenders; provided that, except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. 

10.10 Rights as a Lender. In the event the Administrative Agent is a Lender, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and
powers hereunder and under any other Loan Document with respect to its Commitment and its Loans as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, at
any time when the Administrative Agent is a Lender, unless the context otherwise indicates, include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity. The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and
generally engage in any kind of trust, debt, equity or other transaction, in addition to those contemplated by this Agreement or any other Loan Document, with the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in which the Borrower or such Subsidiary is not
restricted hereby from engaging with any other Person. 
 10.11 Lender Credit Decision, Legal Representation. 

(a) Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Arranger or any other Lender
and based on the financial statements prepared by the Borrower and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each Lender
also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Arranger or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit
decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan 

  
 -87- 








 
Documents. Except for any notice, report, document or other information expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent or Arranger hereunder, neither the
Administrative Agent nor the Arranger shall have any duty or responsibility (either initially or on a continuing basis) to provide any Lender with any notice, report, document, credit information or other information concerning the affairs,
financial condition or business of the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or Arranger (whether or not in their respective capacity as Administrative Agent or Arranger) or any of their
Affiliates. 
 (b) Each Lender further acknowledges that it has had the opportunity to be represented by legal counsel in connection with
its execution of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, that it has made its own evaluation of all applicable laws and regulations relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and that the counsel to the Administrative Agent represents
only the Administrative Agent and not the Lenders in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. 
 10.12
Successor Administrative Agent. The Required Lenders may vote to remove Administrative Agent if it is determined in a court or like proceeding that the Administrative Agent has committed gross negligence or willful misconduct in the
commission of its obligations as Administrative Agent under this Agreement; provided, that concurrent with such removal, the Required Lenders shall designate a Lender to act as the successor Administrative Agent. Additionally, the
Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower, such resignation to be effective upon the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent or, if no successor Administrative Agent has been
appointed, thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its intention to resign. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint, on behalf of the Borrower and the Lenders, a successor
Administrative Agent. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders within fifteen (15) days after the resigning Administrative Agent’s giving notice of its intention to resign, then the
resigning Administrative Agent may appoint, on behalf of the Borrower and the Lenders, a successor Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, the Administrative Agent may at any time without the consent of the Borrower or any
Lender, appoint any of its Affiliates which is a commercial bank as a successor Administrative Agent hereunder. If the Administrative Agent has resigned and no successor Administrative Agent has been appointed, the Lenders may perform all the duties
of the Administrative Agent hereunder and the Borrower shall make all payments in respect of the Obligations to the applicable Lender and for all other purposes shall deal directly with the Lenders. No successor Administrative Agent shall be deemed
to be appointed hereunder until such successor Administrative Agent has accepted the appointment. Any such successor Administrative Agent shall be a commercial bank having capital and retained earnings of at least $100,000,000. Upon the acceptance
of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the resigning
Administrative Agent. Upon the effectiveness of the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the resigning Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the Loan Documents. After the effectiveness of
the resignation of an Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article X shall continue in effect for the benefit of such Administrative Agent in respect of any actions taken or 

  
 -88- 








 
omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. In the event that there is a successor to the Administrative Agent by
merger, or the Administrative Agent assigns its duties and obligations to an Affiliate pursuant to this Section 10.12, then the term “Prime Rate” as used in this Agreement shall mean the prime rate, base rate or other analogous rate
of the new Administrative Agent. 
 10.13 Administrative Agent and Arranger Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to U.S. Bank the fees
agreed to by U.S. Bank and the Borrower, pursuant to that certain letter agreement dated as of June 26, 2014 between U.S. Bank and the Borrower (the “Fee Letter”). Lenders and Borrower understand and agree that, except only as may
otherwise be set forth in a separate side letter between U.S. Bank and any other Lender (if at all), U.S. Bank shall have no obligation to share any such fees paid to U.S. Bank pursuant to the Fee Letter with any of the other Lenders. 

10.14 Delegation to Affiliates. The Borrower and the Lenders agree that the Administrative Agent may delegate any of its duties under
this Agreement to any of its Affiliates. Any such Affiliate (and such Affiliate’s directors, officers, agents and employees) which performs duties in connection with this Agreement shall be entitled to the same benefits of the indemnification,
waiver and other protective provisions to which the Administrative Agent is entitled under Articles IX and X. 
 10.15 Arranger and Book
Runner. None of the Lenders identified in this Agreement as an “Arranger” or “Book Runner” shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to all
Lenders as such, provided, however, that nothing in this Section 10.15 shall affect the rights, powers, obligations, liabilities, responsibilities or duties of the Administrative Agent in such capacity under this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents. Without limiting the foregoing, none of such Lenders shall have or be deemed to have a fiduciary relationship with any Lender. Each Lender hereby makes the same acknowledgments with respect to such Lenders as it makes with respect to
the Administrative Agent in Section 10.11. 
 10.16 No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of
each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that: (i) (A) the arranging and other services
regarding this Agreement provided by the Lenders are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Borrower and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Lenders, on the other hand, (B) the Borrower has consulted its own legal,
accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (C) the Borrower is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the
other Loan Documents; (ii) (A) each of the Lenders is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or
fiduciary for the Borrower or any of its Affiliates, or any other Person and (B) no Lender has any obligation to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set
forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (iii) each of the Lenders and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrower and its Affiliates, and no
Lender has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to the Borrower or its Affiliates. To 

  
 -89- 








 
the fullest extent permitted by law, the Borrower hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against each of the Lenders with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or
fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby. 
 10.17 Borrower Information Used to Determine
Applicable Interest Rates. The parties understand that the applicable interest rate for the Obligations and certain fees set forth herein may be determined and/or adjusted from time to time based upon certain financial ratios and/or other
information to be provided or certified to the Lenders by Borrower (the “Borrower Information”). If it is subsequently determined that any such Borrower Information was incorrect (for whatever reason, including without limitation because
of a subsequent restatement of earnings by the Borrower) at the time it was delivered to the Administrative Agent, and if the applicable interest rate or fees calculated for any period were lower than they should have been had the correct
information been timely provided, then, such interest rate and such fees for such period shall be automatically recalculated using correct Borrower Information. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Borrower in writing of any additional
interest and fees due because of such recalculation, and the Borrower shall pay such additional interest or fees due to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender, within five (5) Business Days of receipt of such written notice.
The Borrower’s obligations under this paragraph shall survive for 90 days following the termination of this Agreement, and this provision shall not in any way limit any of the Administrative Agent’s, the LC Issuer’s, the Swing
Line Lender’s, or any Lender’s other rights under this Agreement. 
 ARTICLE XI 

SETOFF; RATABLE PAYMENTS 

11.1 Setoff; Ratable Payments. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and the acceleration of maturity of the principal
indebtedness pursuant to Article VIII, Borrower hereby specifically authorizes each Lender in which Borrower maintains a deposit account (whether a general or special deposit account, other than trust accounts) or a certificate of deposit to setoff
any Obligations owed to the Lenders against such deposit account or certificate of deposit without prior notice to Borrower (which notice is hereby waived) whether or not such deposit account or certificate of deposit has then matured. Nothing in
this Section shall limit or restrict the exercise by a Bank of any right to setoff or banker’s lien under applicable law, subject to the approval of the Required Lenders (such consents not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If any Lender,
whether by setoff, banker’s lien or otherwise, has payment made to it upon its Outstanding Credit Exposure (other than payments received pursuant to Section 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 or 3.5) in a greater proportion than that received by any other
Lender, such Lender agrees, promptly upon demand, to participate in and purchase a portion of the Aggregate Outstanding Credit Exposure held by the other Lenders so that after such purchase each Lender will hold its Pro Rata Share of the Aggregate
Outstanding Credit Exposure. If any Lender, whether in connection with setoff or amounts which might be subject to setoff or otherwise, receives collateral or other protection for its Obligations or such amounts which may be subject to setoff, such
Lender agrees, promptly upon demand, to take such action necessary such that all Lenders share in the benefits of such collateral or other protection ratably in proportion to their respective Pro Rata Shares of the Aggregate Outstanding Credit
Exposure. In case any such payment is disturbed by legal process, or otherwise, appropriate further adjustments shall be made. Borrower expressly 

  
 -90- 








 
consents to the foregoing arrangements and agrees that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any Lender purchasing a portion of the Aggregate Outstanding Credit Exposure may exercise any
and all rights of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim with respect to the participation as fully as if the Bank were the original owner of the Obligation purchased. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 11.1 to the contrary, in the
event that any Defaulting Lender exercises any right of setoff, (i) all amounts so set off will be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.22(a)(ii) and,
pending such payment, will be segregated by such Defaulting Bank from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and the Lenders entitled to such amounts pursuant to this Agreement and (y) the
Defaulting Bank will provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Bank as to which it exercised such right of setoff. 

ARTICLE XII 
 BENEFIT
OF AGREEMENT; ASSIGNMENTS; PARTICIPATIONS 
 12.1 Successors and Assigns. The terms and provisions of the Loan Documents
shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower and the Lenders and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) the Borrower shall not have the right to assign its rights or obligations under the
Loan Documents without the prior written consent of each Lender, (ii) any assignment by any Lender must be made in compliance with Section 12.3, and (iii) any transfer by participation must be made in compliance with
Section 12.2. Any attempted assignment or transfer by any party not made in compliance with this Section 12.1 shall be null and void, unless such attempted assignment or transfer is treated as a participation in accordance with the terms
of this Agreement. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that clause (ii) of this Section 12.1 relates only to absolute assignments and this Section 12.1 does not prohibit assignments by any Lender creating security interests,
including, without limitation, (x) any pledge or assignment by any Lender of all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and any Note to a Federal Reserve Bank or (y) in the case of a Lender which is a Fund, any pledge or
assignment of all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and any Note to its trustee in support of its obligations to its trustee; provided, however, that no such pledge or assignment creating a security interest shall
release the transferor Lender from its obligations hereunder unless and until the parties thereto have complied with the provisions of Section 12.3. The Administrative Agent may treat the Person which made any Loan or which holds any Note as
the owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until such Person complies with Section 12.3; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent may in its discretion (but shall not be required to) follow instructions from the Person
which made any Loan or which holds any Note to direct payments relating to such Loan or Note to another Person. Any assignee of the rights to any Loan or any Note agrees by acceptance of such assignment to be bound by all the terms and provisions of
the Loan Documents. Any request, authority or consent of any Person, who at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent is the owner of the rights to any Loan (whether or not a Note has been issued in evidence thereof), shall
be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder or assignee of the rights to such Loan. 

  
 -91- 








 12.2 Participations. 

(a) Permitted Participants; Effect. Any Lender may at any time sell to one or more entities (“Participants”) participating
interests in any Outstanding Credit Exposure owing to such Lender, any Note held by such Lender, any Commitment of such Lender or any other interest of such Lender under the Loan Documents. In the event of any such sale by a Lender of participating
interests to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under the Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, such Lender shall remain the
owner of its Outstanding Credit Exposure and the holder of any Note issued to it in evidence thereof for all purposes under the Loan Documents, all amounts payable by the Borrower under this Agreement shall be determined as if such Lender had not
sold such participating interests, and the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents. 

(b) Voting Rights. Each Lender shall retain the sole right to approve, without the consent of any Participant, any amendment,
modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents provided that each such Lender may agree in its participation agreement with its Participant that such Lender will not vote to approve any amendment, modification or waiver with
respect to any Outstanding Credit Exposure or Commitment in which such Participant has an interest which would require consent of all of the Lenders pursuant to the terms of Section 8.3 or of any other Loan Document. 

(c) Benefit of Certain Provisions. The Borrower further agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.1,
3.2, 3.4, 3.5, 9.6 and 9.10 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 12.3, provided that (i) a Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under
Section 3.1 or 3.2 than the Lender who sold the participating interest to such Participant would have received had it retained such interest for its own account, unless the sale of such interest to such Participant is made with the prior
written consent of the Borrower, (ii) each Participant shall be subject to the provisions of Section 3.7 and (iii) a Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.5 than the Lender who sold the
participating interest to such Participant would have received had it retained such interest for its own account (A) except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a change in treaty, law or regulation (or any
change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority) that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation and (B), in the case of any Participant that would be a Non-U.S. Lender if it were a
Lender, such Participant agrees to comply with the provisions of Section 3.5 to the same extent as if it were a Lender (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 3.5(f) shall be delivered to the participating
Lender). Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, 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 any Outstanding Credit Exposure, any Note, any Commitment or any 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 Outstanding Credit Exposure, any Note, any Commitment or any other obligations
under the Loan Documents) to any Person 

  
 -92- 








 
except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Outstanding Credit Exposure, any Note, any Commitment or any other obligations under the Loan Documents 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, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no
responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. 
 12.3 Assignments. 

(a) Permitted Assignments. Any Lender may assign to any Eligible Assignee which meets the following conditions all or a portion of its
respective Commitment, in such a manner as to create privity of contract between such person and the Borrower and to make such person a Lender for all purposes hereunder: 

(i) The minimum portion of the total commitment which the assigning Lender may assign to an Eligible Assignee shall be Five
Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00). 
 (ii) Unless such assignment is to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund,
such assignment shall have been approved by (a) Administrative Agent, LC Issuer, Swing Line Lender and, (b) unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower, which approvals in each case in subsections (a) and
(b) shall not be unreasonably withheld. 
 (iii) The Eligible Assignee shall have paid to the Administrative Agent an
administrative fee of $3,500.00 to process the admission of such Eligible Assignee. 
 (iv) The Eligible Assignee shall not
be Borrower or any of Borrower’s Affiliates or a natural Person. 
 For purposes of clarification, during the existence of any Event of
Default, Borrower’s consent shall not be required in connection with any sale, transfer, assignment or syndication of any portion of the Loan or any Lender’s interest therein. 

(b) Assignment and Assumption. The Borrower and Administrative Agent may continue to deal solely and directly with the assigning Lender
in connection with the interest so assigned to an Eligible Assignee until such time as (i) written notice of such assignment, together with payment instructions, addresses and related information with respect to the Eligible Assignee shall have
been given to the Borrower and Administrative Agent by the assigning Lender and the Eligible Assignee; (ii) the assigning Lender and the Eligible Assignee shall have delivered to the Borrower and Administrative Agent an Assignment and
Assumption. Upon request, Borrower will execute and deliver to Administrative Agent an appropriate replacement promissory note or replacement promissory notes in favor of each assignee (and assignor, if such assignor is retaining a portion of its
Commitment and advances) reflecting such assignee’s (and assignor’s) portion of the Commitment. Upon execution and delivery of such replacement promissory note(s) the original promissory note or notes evidencing all or a portion of the
Commitment being assigned shall be canceled and returned to Borrower. 

  
 -93- 








 (c) Notice by Administrative Agent. Promptly following receipt by Administrative Agent of
an executed Assignment and Assumption, Administrative Agent shall give notice to the Borrower and to the Lenders of: (i) the effectiveness of the assignment by the assigning Lender to the Eligible Assignee; and (ii) the revised Pro Rata
Shares and maximum amounts of the Commitment in effect as a result of such assignment. 
 (d) Adjustment of Shares. Immediately upon
delivery of the Assignment and Assumption to Administrative Agent, this Agreement shall be deemed to be amended to the extent, but only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of the Eligible Assignee and the resulting adjustment of the Pro
Rata Shares and maximum amounts of the Lenders’ Commitment arising therefrom. The portion of the Commitment assigned to each Eligible Assignee reduce the Commitment of the assigning Lender by a like amount. 

(e) Rights of Assignee. From and after the date upon which Administrative Agent notifies the assigning Lender that it has received an
executed Assignment and Assumption: (1) the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption, shall have
the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement; and (2) the assigning Lender shall, to the extent that rights and obligations under this Agreement have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption, relinquish its
rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement. 
 (f) Assignee’s Agreements. By executing and delivering an
Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder confirms and agrees as follows: (1) other than as provided in such Assignment and Assumption, the assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility
with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement, the Note or any other instrument or
document furnished pursuant to the Loan; (2) the assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of the Borrower or any other parties or the performance or observance by
the Borrower of any of its obligations under the Note and this Agreement; (3) the Eligible Assignee has received a copy of this Agreement, together with such other documents and information as the Eligible Assignee has deemed appropriate to
make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into the Assignment and Assumption (and delivery of such documents and information to such Eligible Assignee is expressly approved by the parties hereto); (4) the Eligible Assignee will,
independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (5) the Eligible Assignee hereby appoints and authorizes Administrative Agent to take
such action as administrative agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under the Loan Documents and this Agreement as are delegated to Administrative Agent thereunder and hereunder, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental
thereto; and (6) the Eligible Assignee agrees that it will perform all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender and confirms the representations and warranties of the assigning
Lender under this Agreement. Any assignment in violation of this Section 12.3 shall be deemed to be a participation under Section 12.2 of this Agreement. 

  
 -94- 








 (g) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the
Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in the State of California a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal
amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any
Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

 THIS
GUARANTY (as the same may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, this “Guaranty”) is made as of June 26, 2014 by and among each of the Persons listed on the signature pages hereto (each an
“Initial Guarantor”) and those additional Persons which become parties to this Guaranty by executing a supplement hereto (a “Guaranty Supplement”) in the form attached hereto as Annex I (such additional
Persons, together with the Initial Guarantors, the “Guarantors”), in favor of U.S. Bank National Association, d/b/a Housing Capital Company, as Administrative Agent (the “Administrative Agent”), for the benefit of
Lenders under the Credit Agreement described below. Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Credit Agreement. 

W I  T N E S S E T H : 

WHEREAS, Tri Pointe Homes, Inc. (“Borrower”), the financial institutions from time to time party thereto (collectively, the
“Lenders”), and the Administrative Agent have entered into that certain Credit Agreement of even date herewith (as the same may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit
Agreement”), which Credit Agreement provides, subject to the terms and conditions thereof, for extensions of credit and other financial accommodations (the “Loan”) to be made by the Lenders to or for the benefit of the
Borrower; 
 WHEREAS, it is a condition precedent to the extensions of credit by the Lenders under the Credit Agreement that each of the
Guarantors execute and deliver this Guaranty, whereby each of the Guarantors, without limitation and with full recourse, shall guarantee the payment when due of all Obligations, including, without limitation, all principal, interest, letter of
credit reimbursement obligations and other amounts that shall be at any time payable by the Borrower under the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents; and 

WHEREAS, in consideration of the direct and indirect financial and other support and benefits that the Borrower has provided, and such direct
and indirect financial and other support and benefits as the Borrower may in the future provide, to the Guarantors, and in consideration of the increased ability of each Guarantor to receive funds through contributions to capital, and for each
Guarantor to receive funds through intercompany advances or otherwise, from funds provided to the Borrower pursuant to the Credit Agreement and the flexibility provided by the Credit Agreement for each Guarantor to do so which significantly
facilitates the business operations of the Borrower and each Guarantor and in order to induce the Lenders and the Administrative Agent to enter into the Credit Agreement, and to make the Loans and the other financial accommodations to the Borrower
and to issue the Facility LCs described in the Credit Agreement, each of the Guarantors is willing to guarantee the Obligations under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents; 

  
 Exhibit E – Page 1









 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows: 
 SECTION 1.
Representations, Warranties and Covenants. Each of the Guarantors represents and warrants to each Lender and the Administrative Agent as of the date of this Guaranty, giving effect to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the
Loan Documents on the Effective Date, and thereafter on each date as required by Section 4.2 of the Credit Agreement that: 

(a) It (i) is a corporation, partnership or limited liability company duly incorporated or organized, as the case may be, validly
existing and (to the extent such concept applies to such entity) in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or organization, (ii) is duly qualified to do business as a foreign entity and is in good standing (to the
extent such concept is applicable) under the laws of each jurisdiction where the business conducted by it makes such qualification necessary, and (iii) has all requisite corporate, partnership or limited liability company power and authority,
as the case may be, to own, operate and encumber its property and to conduct its business in each jurisdiction in which its business is conducted, except to the extent that the failure to maintain such existence status, or authority would not
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (b) It has the requisite corporate, limited liability company or limited
partnership, as applicable, power and authority and legal right to execute and deliver this Guaranty and to perform its obligations hereunder. The execution and delivery by it of this Guaranty and the performance of its obligations hereunder have
been duly authorized by proper corporate, limited liability company or partnership proceedings, including any required shareholder, member or partner approval, and this Guaranty constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Guarantor,
enforceable against such Guarantor, in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and general principles of equity. 

(c) Neither the execution and delivery by it of this Guaranty, nor the consummation by it of the transactions herein contemplated, nor
compliance by it with the terms and provisions hereof, will (i) conflict with the charter or other organizational documents of such Guarantor, (ii) in any material respect conflict with, result in a breach of or constitute (with or without
notice or lapse of time or both) a default under any law, rule, regulation, order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree or award binding on such Guarantor or any provisions of any indenture, instrument or agreement to which the Guarantor is party or
is subject or by which it or its property is bound, (iii) result in the creation or imposition of any Lien whatsoever upon any of the property or assets of such Guarantor, other than Liens permitted or created by the Loan Documents, or
(iv) require any approval of such Guarantor’s board of directors, shareholders, members or partners except such as have been obtained. The execution, delivery and performance by such Guarantor of each of the Loan Documents to which such
Guarantor is a party do not and will not require any registration with, consent or approval of, or notice to, or other action to, with or by any Governmental Authority, except filings, consents or notices which have been made. 

  
 Exhibit E – Page 2









 In addition to the foregoing, each of the Guarantors covenants that, so long as any Lender has
any Commitment or Facility LC outstanding under the Credit Agreement or any amount payable under the Credit Agreement or any other Obligations shall remain unpaid, it will fully comply with those covenants and agreements of the Borrower applicable
to such Guarantor set forth in the Credit Agreement. 
 SECTION 2. The Guaranty. Each of the Guarantors hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally guarantees, jointly and severally with the other Guarantors, the full and punctual payment when due (whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise) of the Obligations, including, without limitation, (i) the
principal of and interest on each Loan made to the Borrower pursuant to the Credit Agreement, (ii) obligations owing under or in connection with Facility LCs, and (iii) all other amounts payable by the Borrower under the Credit Agreement
and the other Loan Documents, and including, without limitation, all Rate Management Obligations (but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, all Excluded Swap Obligations) (all of the foregoing being referred to collectively as the
“Guaranteed Obligations”). Upon the failure by the Borrower to pay punctually any such amount, subject to any applicable grace or notice and cure period, each of the Guarantors agrees that it shall forthwith on demand pay such
amount at the place and in the manner specified in the Credit Agreement or the relevant other Loan Document, as the case may be. Each of the Guarantors hereby agrees that this Guaranty is an absolute, irrevocable and unconditional guaranty of
payment and is not a guaranty of collection. Each of the Guarantors hereby waives any and all benefits and defenses under California Civil Code (“CC”) Section 2810 and agrees that by doing so Guarantors shall be liable even if
Borrower had no liability at the time of execution of any of the Loan Documents or thereafter ceases to be liable. Each of the Guarantors hereby waives any and all benefits and defenses under CC Section 2809 and agrees that by doing so
Guarantors’ liability may be larger in amount and more burdensome than that of Borrower Notwithstanding any other provision of this Guaranty, the amount guaranteed by each Guarantor hereunder shall be limited to the extent, if any, required so
that its obligations hereunder shall not be subject to avoidance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or similar statute or common law. In
determining the limitations, if any, on the amount of any Guarantor’s obligations hereunder pursuant to the preceding sentence, it is the intention of the parties hereto that any rights of subrogation, indemnification or contribution which such
Guarantor may have under this Guaranty, any other agreement or applicable law shall be taken into account. 
 SECTION 3. Guaranty
Unconditional. The obligations of each of the Guarantors hereunder shall be unconditional and absolute and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, shall not be released, discharged or otherwise affected by: 

(i) any extension, renewal, settlement, indulgence, compromise, waiver or release of or with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any
part thereof or any agreement relating thereto, or with respect to any obligation of any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether (in any such case) by operation of law or otherwise, or any failure or omission to enforce any
right, power or remedy with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof or any agreement relating thereto, or with respect to any obligation of any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations; 

  
 Exhibit E – Page 3









 (ii) any modification or amendment of or supplement to the Credit Agreement, any agreement
evidencing Rate Management Transactions or any other Loan Document, including, without limitation, any such amendment which may increase the amount of, or the interest rates applicable to, any of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby; 

(iii) any release, surrender, compromise, settlement, waiver, subordination or modification, with or without consideration, of any collateral
securing the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof, any other guaranties with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof, or any other obligation of any Person or entity with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any part
thereof, or any nonperfection or invalidity of any direct or indirect security for the Guaranteed Obligations, any impairment or any diminution or loss of value of any security or collateral for the Loan, or any disability or other defense of
Borrower or any other Guarantor; 
 (iv) any change in the corporate, partnership, limited liability company or other existence, structure
or ownership of the Borrower or any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting the Borrower or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any
of their respective assets or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of the Borrower or any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations; 

(v) the existence of any claim, setoff or other rights which the Guarantors may have at any time against the Borrower, any other guarantor of
any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Person, whether in connection herewith or in connection with any unrelated transactions, provided that nothing herein shall prevent the assertion of any such
claim by separate suit or compulsory counterclaim; 
 (vi) the enforceability or validity of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof
or the genuineness, enforceability or validity of any agreement relating thereto or with respect to any collateral securing the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof, or any other invalidity or unenforceability relating to or against the
Borrower or any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, for any reason related to the Credit Agreement, any agreement evidencing Rate Management Transactions or any provision of applicable law, decree, order or regulation purporting to
prohibit the payment by the Borrower or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations, of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise affecting any term of any of the Guaranteed Obligations; 

(vii) the failure of the Administrative Agent to take any steps to perfect and maintain any security interest in, or to preserve any rights
to, any security or collateral for the Guaranteed Obligations, if any; 
 (viii) the election by, or on behalf of, any one or more of the
Lenders, in any proceeding instituted under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (11 U.S.C. 101 et seq.) (or any successor statute, the “Bankruptcy Code”), of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy
Code; 

  
 Exhibit E – Page 4









 (ix) any borrowing or grant of a security interest by the Borrower, as debtor-in-possession,
under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code; 
 (x) the disallowance, under Section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code, of all or any
portion of the claims of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent for repayment of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations; 
 (xi)
the failure of any other guarantor to sign or become party to this Guaranty or any amendment, change, or reaffirmation hereof; or 
 (xii)
any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by the Borrower, any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Person or any other circumstance whatsoever which might, but for the
provisions of this Section 3, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of any Guarantor’s obligations hereunder or otherwise reduce, release, prejudice or extinguish its liability under this Guaranty. 

SECTION 4. Discharge Only Upon Payment In Full; Reinstatement In Certain Circumstances. Each of the Guarantors’ obligations
hereunder shall remain in full force and effect until all Guaranteed Obligations shall have been paid in full in cash (other than Unliquidated Obligations) and the Commitments and all Facility LCs shall have terminated or expired or, in the case of
all Facility LCs, are fully collateralized on terms reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, at which time, subject to all the foregoing conditions, the guarantees made hereunder shall automatically terminate. Each of the Guarantors agrees
that Administrative Agent and Lenders may enforce this Guaranty without the necessity of resorting to or exhausting any security or collateral (including, without limitation, pursuant to a judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure), if any, and without
the necessity of proceeding against Borrower or any other Guarantor. Until all Guaranteed Obligations shall have been paid in full in cash (other than Unliquidated Obligations), each of the Guarantors hereby waives any and all benefits under CC
Sections 2845, 2849 and 2850, including, without limitation, the right to require Administrative Agent or Lenders to proceed against Borrower, to proceed against any other Guarantor, to foreclose any lien on any real or personal property, to
exercise any right or remedy under the Loan Documents, to draw upon any letter of credit issued in connection herewith, or to pursue any other remedy or to enforce any other right. For purposes of this Guaranty “Unliquidated
Obligations” means at any time, any Obligations (or portion thereof) that are contingent in nature or unliquidated at such time, including any Obligation that is: (i) an obligation under the Credit Agreement to reimburse each LC Issuer
for drawings not yet made under a Facility LC issued by it; (ii) any other obligation (including any guarantee) under the Credit Agreement that is contingent in nature at such time; or (iii) an obligation under the Credit Agreement to
provide collateral to secure any of the foregoing types of obligations. If at any time any payment of the principal of or interest on any Loan Obligation, or any other amount payable by the Borrower or any other party under the Credit Agreement, any
agreement evidencing Rate Management Transactions or any other Loan Document is rescinded or must be otherwise restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or otherwise (including pursuant to any settlement
entered into by a Lender in its discretion), each of the Guarantors’ obligations hereunder with respect to such payment shall be reinstated as though such payment had been due but not made at such time. 

  
 Exhibit E – Page 5









 SECTION 5. General Waivers; Additional Waivers. 

(a) General Waivers. 
 (i)
Each of the Guarantors irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, presentment, demand or action on delinquency, protest, the benefit of any statutes of limitations and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any notice not provided for herein or under
the other Loan Documents, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by any Person against the Borrower, any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other Person. 

(ii) Each of the Guarantors waives any and all rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification and contribution, and any other rights
and defenses that are or may become available to Guarantors by reason of CC Sections 2787 to 2855, inclusive, 2899 and 3433 including, without limitation, any and all rights or defenses Guarantors may have by reason of protection afforded to
the principal with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations or to any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations with respect to such guarantor’s obligations under its guaranty, in either case, pursuant to the antideficiency or
other laws of this state limiting or discharging the principal’s indebtedness or such other guarantor’s obligations, including, without limitation, California Code of Civil Procedure (“CCP”) Sections 580a,
580b, 580d or 726. 
 (iii) Each of the Guarantors waives all rights and defenses that Guarantors may have because Borrower’s debt is,
or at any time may be, secured by real property. This means, among other things: 
 (1) Administrative Agent and Lenders may
collect from Guarantors without first foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral (if any) pledged by Borrower; 

(2) If Administrative Agent or any Lender forecloses on any real property collateral pledged by Borrower: 

(A) The amount of the debt may be reduced only by the price for which that collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if
the collateral is worth more than the sale price; 
 (B) Administrative Agent and Lenders may collect from Guarantors even
if Administrative Agent or any Lender, by foreclosing on the real property collateral, has destroyed any right Guarantors may have to collect from Borrower. 

This is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses Guarantors may have because Borrower’s debt is secured by real
property. These rights and defenses include, but are not limited to, any rights or defenses based upon CCP Sections 580a, 580b, 580d, or 726. 

  
 Exhibit E – Page 6









 (iv) Each of the Guarantors waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of
remedies by Administrative Agent or Lenders, even though that election of remedies, such as a nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for the Guaranteed Obligations, if any, has destroyed Guarantors’ rights of subrogation and
reimbursement against Borrower by the operation of CCP Section 580d or otherwise, and even though that election of remedies by Administrative Agent or Lenders has destroyed Guarantors’ rights of contribution against another guarantor of
any of the Guaranteed Obligations. 
 (v) Each of the Guarantors hereby waives any right it might otherwise have under Section 2822 of
the California Civil Code or similar law or otherwise to have Borrower designate the portion of any such obligation to be satisfied in the event that Borrower provides partial satisfaction of such obligation. Each of the Guarantors acknowledges and
agrees that Borrower may already have agreed with Administrative Agent, or may hereafter agree, that in any such event the designation of the portion of the obligation to be satisfied shall, to the extent not expressly made by the terms of the Loan
Documents, be made by Administrative Agent rather than by Borrower. 
 No other provision of this Guaranty shall be construed as limiting the generality of
any of the covenants and waivers set forth in this Section 5(a). 
 (b) Additional Waivers. Notwithstanding anything herein to
the contrary, each of the Guarantors hereby absolutely, unconditionally, knowingly, and expressly waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law: 

(i) any right it may have to revoke this Guaranty as to future indebtedness or notice of acceptance hereof; 

(ii) (1) notice of acceptance hereof; (2) notice of any Loans, Facility LCs or other financial accommodations made or extended under the
Loan Documents or the creation or existence of any Guaranteed Obligations; (3) notice of the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations, subject, however, to each Guarantor’s right to make inquiry of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to
ascertain the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations at any reasonable time; (4) notice of any adverse change in the financial condition of the Borrower or of any other fact that might increase such Guarantor’s risk hereunder;
(5) notice of presentment for payment, demand, protest, and notice thereof as to any instruments among the Loan Documents; (6) notice of any Default or Event of Default; and (7) all other notices (except if such notice is specifically
required to be given to such Guarantor hereunder or under the other Loan Documents) and demands to which each Guarantor might otherwise be entitled; 

(iii) its right, if any, to require the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders to institute suit against, or to exhaust any rights and
remedies which the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders has or may have against, the other Guarantors or any third party; and each Guarantor further waives any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense (other than the
defense that the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been fully and finally performed and indefeasibly paid in full in cash) of the other Guarantors or by reason of the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of the other Guarantors in
respect thereof; 

  
 Exhibit E – Page 7









 (iv) (a) any rights to assert against the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders defense
(legal or equitable), set-off, counterclaim, or claim which such Guarantor may now or at any time hereafter have against the other Guarantors or any other party liable to the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders; (b) any defense, set-off,
counterclaim, or claim, of any kind or nature, arising directly or indirectly from the present or future lack of perfection, sufficiency, validity, or enforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security therefor; (c) any defense such
Guarantor has to performance hereunder, and any right such Guarantor has to be exonerated, arising by reason of: (1) the impairment or suspension of the Administrative Agent’s and the other Lenders’ rights or remedies against the
other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations; (2) the alteration by the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders of the Guaranteed Obligations; (3) any discharge of the other Guarantors’ obligations to the Administrative Agent and
the other Lenders by operation of law as a result of the Administrative Agent’s and the other Lenders’ intervention or omission; or (4) the acceptance by the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders of anything in partial
satisfaction of the Guaranteed Obligations; and (d) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting such Guarantor’s liability hereunder or the enforcement thereof, and any act which shall defer or delay the operation of any statute of
limitations applicable to the Guaranteed Obligations shall similarly operate to defer or delay the operation of such statute of limitations applicable to such Guarantor’s liability hereunder; and 

(v) any defense arising by reason of or deriving from (a) any claim or defense based upon an election of remedies by the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders; or (b) any election by the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders under the Bankruptcy Code, to limit the amount of, or any collateral securing, its claim against the Guarantors. 

(vi) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of the Guarantors hereby expressly waives any and all benefits and defenses under
(i) CCP Section 580a (which Section, if Guarantors had not given this waiver, would otherwise limit Guarantors’ liability after a nonjudicial foreclosure sale to the difference between the obligations guaranteed herein and the fair
market value of the property or interests sold at such nonjudicial foreclosure sale), (ii) CCP Sections 580b and 580d (which Sections, if Guarantors had not given this waiver, would otherwise limit Administrative Agent’s and
Lenders’ right to recover a deficiency judgment with respect to purchase money obligations and after a nonjudicial foreclosure sale, respectively), and (iii) CCP Section 726 (which Section, if Guarantors had not given this waiver,
among other things, would otherwise require Administrative Agent and Lenders to exhaust all of its security before a personal judgment may be obtained for a deficiency). Notwithstanding any foreclosure of the lien of any deed of trust or security
agreement with respect to any or all of the real or personal property secured thereby (if any), whether by the exercise of the power of sale contained therein, by an action for judicial foreclosure or by an acceptance of a deed in lieu of
foreclosure, Guarantors shall remain bound under this Guaranty. 
 SECTION 6. Subordination of Subrogation; Subordination of Intercompany
Indebtedness. 
 (a) Subordination of Subrogation. Until the Guaranteed Obligations have been fully and finally performed and
indefeasibly paid in full in cash (other than Unliquidated Obligations), the Guarantors waive all benefits and defenses under CC Sections 2847, 2848 and 2849 and agree Guarantors (i) shall have no right of subrogation with respect to such
Guaranteed

Obligations and (ii) waive any right to enforce any remedy which any LC Issuer, any of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent now have or may hereafter have against the Borrower, any
endorser or any guarantor of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Person, and until such time the Guarantors waive any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security or collateral given to the Lenders, any LC Issuer
and the Administrative Agent to secure the payment or performance of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other liability of the Borrower to the Lenders, any LC Issuer or the Administrative Agent. Should any Guarantor have the right,
notwithstanding the foregoing, to exercise its subrogation rights, each Guarantor hereby expressly and irrevocably (A) subordinates any and all rights at law or in equity to subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification
or set off that such Guarantor may have to the payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations until the Guaranteed Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full in cash (other than Unliquidated Obligations) and (B) waives any and all
defenses available to a surety, guarantor or accommodation co-obligor until the Guaranteed Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full in cash (other than Unliquidated Obligations). Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that this subordination is
intended to benefit the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and shall not limit or otherwise affect such Guarantor’s liability hereunder or the enforceability of this Guaranty, and that the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and their
respective successors and assigns are intended third party beneficiaries of the waivers and agreements set forth in this Section 6(a). 

(b) Subordination of Intercompany Indebtedness. Each Guarantor agrees that any and all claims of such Guarantor against the Borrower or
any other Guarantor hereunder (each an “Obligor”) with respect to any Intercompany Indebtedness (as hereinafter defined), any endorser, obligor or any other guarantor of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, or against any
of its properties shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment, in full and in cash, of all Guaranteed Obligations; provided that, as long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such Guarantor may
receive payments of principal and interest from any Obligor with respect to Intercompany Indebtedness. Notwithstanding any right of any Guarantor to ask, demand, sue for, take or receive any payment from any Obligor, all rights, liens and security
interests of such Guarantor, whether now or hereafter arising and howsoever existing, in any assets of any other Obligor shall be and are subordinated to the rights of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent in those assets. No Guarantor shall have
any right to possession of any such asset or to foreclose upon any such asset, whether by judicial action or otherwise, unless and until all of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than Unliquidated Obligations) shall have been fully


  
 Exhibit E – Page 9









 
paid and satisfied (in cash) and all financing arrangements pursuant to any Loan Document and any agreement evidencing Rate Management Transactions have been terminated. If all or any part of the
assets of any Obligor, or the proceeds thereof, are subject to any distribution, division or application to the creditors of such Obligor, whether partial or complete, voluntary or involuntary, and whether by reason of liquidation, bankruptcy,
arrangement, receivership, assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other action or proceeding, or if the business of any such Obligor is dissolved or if substantially all of the assets of any such Obligor are sold, then, and in any such event
(such events being herein referred to as an “Insolvency Event”), any payment or distribution of any kind or character, either in cash, securities or other property, which shall be payable or deliverable upon or with respect to any
indebtedness of any Obligor to any Guarantor (“Intercompany Indebtedness”) shall be paid or delivered directly to the Administrative Agent for application on any of the Guaranteed Obligations, due or to become due, until such
Guaranteed Obligations shall have first been fully paid and satisfied (in cash). Should any payment, distribution, security or instrument or proceeds thereof be received by the applicable Guarantor upon or with respect to the Intercompany
Indebtedness after any Insolvency Event and prior to the satisfaction of all of the Guaranteed Obligations and the termination of all financing arrangements pursuant to any Loan Document among the Borrower and the Lenders, such Guarantor shall
receive and hold the same in trust, as trustee, for the benefit of the Lenders and shall forthwith deliver the same to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, in precisely the form received (except for the endorsement or assignment
of the Guarantor where necessary), for application to any of the Guaranteed Obligations, due or not due, and, until so delivered, the same shall be held in trust by the Guarantor as the property of the Lenders. If any such Guarantor fails to make
any such endorsement or assignment to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent or any of its officers or employees is irrevocably authorized to make the same. Each Guarantor agrees that until the Guaranteed Obligations (other than
Unliquidated Obligations) have been paid in full (in cash) and satisfied and all financing arrangements pursuant to any Loan Document among the Borrower and the Lenders have been terminated, no Guarantor will assign or transfer to any Person (other
than the Administrative Agent) any claim any such Guarantor has or may have against any Obligor. 
 SECTION 7. Contribution with Respect
to Guaranteed Obligations. 
 (a) To the extent that any Guarantor shall make a payment under this Guaranty (a “Guarantor
Payment”) which, taking into account all other Guarantor Payments then previously or concurrently made by any other Guarantor, exceeds the amount which otherwise would have been paid by or attributable to such Guarantor if each Guarantor
had paid the aggregate Guaranteed Obligations satisfied by such Guarantor Payment in the same proportion as such Guarantor’s Allocable Amount (as defined below) (as determined immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment) bore to the aggregate
Allocable Amounts of each of the Guarantors as determined immediately prior to the making of such Guarantor Payment, then, following indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guarantor Payment and the Guaranteed Obligations (other than
Unliquidated Obligations), termination or expiration of all Commitments and Facility LCs or, in the case of all Facility LCs, full collateralization on terms reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, termination of the Credit Agreement and
satisfaction of all outstanding obligations under the agreements evidencing Rate Management Transactions, such Guarantor shall be entitled to receive contribution and indemnification payments from, and be reimbursed by, each other Guarantor for the
amount of such excess, pro rata based upon their respective Allocable Amounts in effect immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment. 

(b) As of any date of determination, the “Allocable Amount” of any Guarantor shall be equal to the excess of the value of the
property of such Guarantor at a fair valuation over the total liabilities of such Guarantor (including the maximum amount reasonably expected to become due in respect of contingent liabilities, calculated, without duplication, assuming each other
Guarantor that is also liable for such contingent liability pays its ratable share thereof), giving effect to all payments made by other Guarantors as of such date in a manner to maximize the amount of such contributions. 

(c) This Section 7 is intended only to define the relative rights of the Guarantors, and nothing set forth in this
Section 7 is intended to or shall impair the obligations of the Guarantors, jointly and severally, to pay any amounts as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Guaranty. 

  
 Exhibit E – Page 10









 (d) The parties hereto acknowledge that the rights of contribution and indemnification hereunder
shall constitute assets of the Guarantor or Guarantors to which such contribution and indemnification is owing. 
 (e) The rights of the
indemnifying Guarantors against other Guarantors under this Section 7 shall be exercisable upon the full and indefeasible payment of the Guaranteed Obligations in cash (other than Unliquidated Obligations) and the termination or expiry
(or in the case of all Facility LCs, full collateralization), on terms reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, of the Commitments and all Facility LCs and the termination of the Credit Agreement and the satisfaction of all outstanding
obligations under the agreements evidencing Rate Management Transactions. 
 SECTION 8. Stay of Acceleration. If acceleration of the
time for payment of any amount payable by the Borrower under the Credit Agreement, any counterparty to any agreement evidencing Rate Management Transactions or any other Loan Document is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of
the Borrower or any of its Affiliates, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of the Credit Agreement, any agreement evidencing Rate Management Transactions or any other Loan Document shall nonetheless be payable by each
of the Guarantors hereunder forthwith on demand by the Administrative Agent. 
 SECTION 9. Notices. All notices, requests and other
communications to any party hereunder shall be given in the manner prescribed in Section 13.1 of the Credit Agreement with respect to the Administrative Agent at its notice address therein and, with respect to any Guarantor, in the care
of the Borrower at the address of the Borrower set forth in the Credit Agreement, or such other address or telecopy number as such party may hereafter specify for such purpose in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.1 of the
Credit Agreement. 
 SECTION 10. No Waivers. No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right,
power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies provided
in this Guaranty, the Credit Agreement, any agreement evidencing Rate Management Transactions and the other Loan Documents shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law. 

SECTION 11. Successors and Assigns. This Guaranty is for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and their respective
successors and permitted assigns, provided that no Guarantor shall have any right to assign its rights or obligations hereunder without the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders, and any such assignment in violation of
this Section 11 shall be null and void; and in the event of an assignment of any amounts payable under the Credit Agreement, any agreement evidencing Rate Management Transactions or the other Loan Documents in accordance with the
respective terms thereof, the rights hereunder, to the extent applicable to the indebtedness so assigned, may be transferred with such indebtedness. This Guaranty shall be binding upon each of the Guarantors and their respective successors and
assigns. 

  
 Exhibit E – Page 11









 SECTION 12. Changes in Writing. Other than in connection with the addition of other
Guarantors, which become parties hereto by executing a Guaranty Supplement hereto in the form attached as Annex I, neither this Guaranty nor any provision hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally, but only in writing
signed by each of the Guarantors and the Administrative Agent and in accordance with Section 8.3 of the Credit Agreement. 

SECTION 13. Governing Law; Jurisdiction. 

(a) THIS GUARANTY SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS (WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICT OF LAWS PROVISIONS) OF THE STATE
OF CALIFORNIA, BUT GIVING EFFECT TO FEDERAL LAWS APPLICABLE TO NATIONAL BANKS. 
 (b) EACH GUARANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO
THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY UNITED STATES FEDERAL OR STATE COURT SITTING IN ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AND EACH GUARANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY
AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN ANY SUCH COURT AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE AS TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN SUCH A
COURT OR THAT SUCH COURT IS AN INCONVENIENT FORUM. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHT OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY LC ISSUER OR ANY LENDER TO BRING PROCEEDINGS AGAINST ANY GUARANTOR IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. ANY JUDICIAL
PROCEEDING BY ANY GUARANTOR AGAINST THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY LC ISSUER OR ANY LENDER OR ANY AFFILIATE OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY LC ISSUER OR ANY LENDER INVOLVING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ANY MATTER IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF, RELATED TO,
OR CONNECTED WITH THIS GUARANTY OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL BE BROUGHT ONLY IN A COURT IN ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. 
 (c) Each
party to this Guaranty irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9 of this Guaranty, and each of the Guarantors hereby appoints the Borrower as its agent for service of process. Nothing in
this Guaranty or any other Loan Document will affect the right of any party to this Guaranty to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. 

SECTION 14. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL; WAIVER OF CERTAIN DAMAGES. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH PARTY TO THIS
GUARANTY HEREBY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING INVOLVING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ANY MATTER (WHETHER SOUNDING 

  
 Exhibit E – Page 12









 
IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF, RELATED TO, OR CONNECTED WITH THIS GUARANTY OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER. EACH
GUARANTOR (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER GUARANTOR HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER GUARANTOR WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND
(B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER GUARANTORS HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS GUARANTY AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 14. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED
BY APPLICABLE LAW, GUARANTOR SHALL NOT ASSERT, AND HEREBY WAIVES, ANY CLAIM AGAINST ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER, ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, FOR SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (AS OPPOSED TO DIRECT OR ACTUAL DAMAGES)
ARISING OUT OF, IN CONNECTION WITH, OR AS A RESULT OF, THIS GUARANTY, THE GUARANTEED OBLIGATIONS, THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, THE TRANSACTIONS DESCRIBED THEREIN, THE LOAN OR THE USE OF THE PROCEEDS THEREOF. 

SECTION 15. No Strict Construction. The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Guaranty. In
the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Guaranty shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the
authorship of any provisions of this Guaranty. 
 SECTION 16. Taxes, Expenses of Enforcement, Etc. 

(a) Taxes. 
 (i) Any and
all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Guarantor under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law requires the deduction or withholding
of any Tax from any such payment, then the applicable Guarantor shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant governmental authority in accordance with applicable
law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Guarantor shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to
additional sums payable under this Section 16) the applicable Lender or the Administrative Agent receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made. 

(ii) The Guarantor shall timely pay to the relevant governmental authority in accordance with applicable law or, at the option of the
Administrative Agent, timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes. 

  
 Exhibit E – Page 13









 (iii) The Guarantor shall indemnify each Lender or the Administrative Agent, within fifteen
(15) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 16) payable or paid by such
Lender or the Administrative Agent or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Lender or the Administrative Agent and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes and
Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant governmental authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Guarantor by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the
Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 (iv) As soon as practicable
after any payment of Taxes by any Guarantor to a governmental authority pursuant to this Section 16, such Guarantor shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such governmental
authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 

(b) Expenses of Enforcement, Etc. The Guarantors agree to reimburse the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders for any reasonable
costs and out-of-pocket expenses (including attorneys’ fees) paid or incurred by the Administrative Agent or any other Lenders in connection with the collection and enforcement of amounts due under the Loan Documents, including without
limitation this Guaranty. 
 SECTION 17. Financial Information. Each Guarantor hereby assumes responsibility for keeping itself
informed of the financial condition of the Borrower, the other Guarantors and any and all endorsers and/or other guarantors of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the
Guaranteed Obligations, or any part thereof, that diligent inquiry would reveal, and each Guarantor hereby agrees that none of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent shall have any duty to advise such Guarantor of information known to any of them
regarding such condition or any such circumstances. In the event any Lender or the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, undertakes at any time or from time to time to provide any such information to a Guarantor, such Lender or the
Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation (i) to undertake any investigation not a part of its regular business routine, (ii) to disclose any information which such Lender or the Administrative Agent, pursuant to accepted or
reasonable commercial finance or banking practices, wishes to maintain confidential or (iii) to make any other or future disclosures of such information or any other information to such Guarantor. 

SECTION 18. Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Guaranty shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and
valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Guaranty shall be prohibited by or invalid under such law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without invalidating the remainder of such
provision or the remaining provisions of this Guaranty. 

  
 Exhibit E – Page 14









 SECTION 19. Merger; No Oral Agreements. This Guaranty represents the final agreement of
each of the Guarantors with respect to the matters contained herein and may not be contradicted by evidence of prior or contemporaneous agreements, or subsequent oral agreements, between each such Guarantor and any Lender or the Administrative
Agent. Each Guarantor, by executing this Guaranty (or the Supplement to Guaranty), expressly represents and warrants that it did not rely on any representation, assurance or agreement, oral or written, not expressly set forth in this Guaranty in
reaching its decisions to enter into this Guaranty and that no promises or other representations have been made to such Guarantor which conflict with the written terms of this Guaranty. No course of prior dealing among the parties, no usage of
trade, and no parol or extrinsic evidence of any nature may be used to supplement, modify or vary any of the terms hereof. There are no conditions to the full effectiveness of this Guaranty. 

SECTION 20. Headings. Section headings in this Guaranty are for convenience of reference only and shall not govern the interpretation
of any provision of this Guaranty. 
 SECTION 21. Keepwell. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor (as hereinafter defined) 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 Guarantor to honor all of its obligations under this Guaranty in respect of all Swap
Obligations (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section 21 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this
Section 21, or otherwise under this Guaranty, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this
Section 21 shall remain in full force and effect until all Guaranteed Obligations shall have been fully and finally performed and indefeasibly paid in full in cash (other than Unliquidated Obligations) and the Commitments and all
Facility LCs shall have terminated or expired or, in the case of all Facility LCs, are fully collateralized on terms reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section 21 constitute,
and this Section 21 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Guarantor for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if a Guarantor or a counterparty under any swap makes a written representation to the Lenders in connection with this Guaranty, a swap, or any master agreement governing a swap to the effect that such
Guarantor is or will be an “eligible contract participant” as defined in the Commodity Exchange Act on the date the Guaranty becomes effective with respect to such swap (this date shall be the date of the execution of the swap if the
corresponding Guaranty is then in effect, and otherwise it shall be the date of execution and delivery of such Guaranty unless the Guaranty specifies a subsequent effective date), and such representation proves to have been incorrect when made or
deemed to have been made, the Lenders reserve all of their contractual and other rights and remedies, at law or in equity, including (to the extent permitted by applicable law) the right to claim, and pursue a separate cause of action, for damages
as a result of such misrepresentation, provided that such Guarantor’s liability for such damages shall not exceed the amount of the Excluded Swap Obligations with respect to such swap. As used herein, “Qualified ECP Guarantor”
means, in respect of any Swap Obligation, each Guarantor that has total assets exceeding $10,000,000 at the time the relevant guarantee or grant of the relevant security interest becomes effective with respect to such Swap Obligation or such other
Person as constitutes an “eligible contract participant” under the Commodity Exchange Act or any regulations promulgated thereunder and can cause another Person to qualify as an “eligible

contract participant” at such time by entering into a keepwell under Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.
