 ARTICLE II 

The Credits 

SECTION 2.01 The Loans. 

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Revolving Lender severally agrees to make (or cause its Applicable Lending
Office to make) loans (each such loan, a “Revolving Loan”) from time to time, on any Business Day during the Revolving Availability Period in Dollars in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding not to exceed the
lesser of 
 (i) such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment, or 

(ii) such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share of (x) the Line Cap less the outstanding principal amount of
Swingline Loans and the L/C Exposures at such time. 
 (b) Within the limits of each Lender’s Revolving Commitment and the other terms
and conditions hereof, the Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.01, prepay under Section 2.11, and reborrow under this Section 2.01; provided, however, that no Revolving Lender shall be required to make Revolving
Loans if, as a result of making such Revolving Loans, the aggregate Revolving Exposures of all Revolving Lenders at such time would exceed the Line Cap. Revolving Loans may be ABR Loans or Eurodollar Rate Loans, as further provided herein. 

  
 47 








 (c) If the Borrower requests that Revolving Lenders make, or permit to remain outstanding
Revolving Loans in excess of the Borrowing Base (any such excess Revolving Loan is herein referred to as an “Overadvance”), the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to make, or permit to remain outstanding such
Overadvance; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent may not cause Revolving Lenders to make, or permit to remain outstanding,(A) aggregate Revolving Loans in excess of the aggregate Revolving Commitments of the Revolving Lenders
less the sum of outstanding Swing Loans plus the L/C Exposures, or (B) an Overadvance in an aggregate amount in excess of 10% of the aggregate Revolving Commitments of the Revolving Lenders; provided, further, that no
Overadvance shall remain outstanding for more than ninety (90) consecutive calendar days during any one 180 consecutive calendar day period. If an Overadvance is made, or permitted to remain outstanding, pursuant to the preceding sentence, then
all Revolving Lenders shall be bound to make, or permit to remain outstanding, such Overadvance based upon their Pro Rata Share regardless of whether the conditions to lending set forth in Section 4.02 have been met. Furthermore, Required
Lenders may prospectively revoke the Administrative Agent’s ability to make or permit Overadvances by written notice to Administrative Agent. All Overadvances shall constitute Alternate Base Rate Loans and shall bear interest at the Alternate
Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans. 
 (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.01, the
Co-Collateral Agents shall have the right (but not the obligation), in the exercise of their Permitted Discretion, to modify eligibility criteria for one or more components of the Borrowing Base and establish and increase or decrease Reserves
against the Borrowing Base. The modification of such eligibility criteria and the amount of Reserves established by the Co-Collateral Agents shall have a reasonable relationship to the event, condition, other circumstance, or fact that is the basis
for such Reserve and shall not be duplicative of any other Reserve established and currently maintained. In addition, upon request of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall establish a Reserve against the Borrowing Base (including under clause
(a) of the definition thereof) with respect to Obligations under Secured Hedge Agreements and Cash Management Documents in such amount as the Borrower may request so long as (i) no Default or Event of Default exists, and (ii) after
giving effect to such Reserve, the aggregate Revolving Exposure of all Revolving Lenders at such time would not exceed the Line Cap; provided that any release or reduction of such Reserves shall be upon joint instructions from the Borrower
and the applicable Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank. The Borrowing Base at any time shall be determined by the Co-Collateral Agents by reference to the Balance Sheet Certificate or Borrowing Base Certificate most recently delivered, as adjusted
from time to time to reflect modifications of eligibility criteria and/or Reserves by the Co-Collateral Agents pursuant to this Section 2.01(d). 

SECTION 2.02 Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Loan 

(a) Each Borrowing, each conversion of Loans from one Type to the other, and each continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be made upon the
Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent of such Borrowing, conversion or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later
than 12:00 noon (New York City time) (i) three Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans (or any conversion of ABR Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans) and (ii) one Business Day
before the requested date of any Borrowing of ABR Loans or any conversion of Eurodollar Rate Loans to ABR Loans. Each telephonic notice by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.02(a) must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the
Administrative Agent of a written Committed Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of
$1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. Except as provided in Section 2.03(c), and except with respect to the initial Credit Extension, each Borrowing of, continuation of or conversion to ABR Loans, shall be in a principal
amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess 

  
 48 








 
thereof. Each Committed Loan Notice shall specify, as applicable, (i) whether the Borrower is requesting a Revolving Borrowing or a conversion or continuation of Revolving Loans from one
Type to the other, (ii) the requested date of the Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the principal amount of Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued, (iv) the Type of
Loans to be borrowed or to which existing Loans are to be converted, (v) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto and (vi) and the location and number of the Borrower’s account or such other account or
accounts to which funds are to be disbursed, or, in the case of any ABR Revolving Committed Loan Notice to finance the reimbursement of an L/C Advance as provided in Section 2.03(c), the identity of the Issuing Bank that made such L/C Advance.
If the Borrower fails to specify a Type of Loan in a Committed Loan Notice with respect to Loans or fails to give a timely request for conversion or continuation pursuant to a Committed Loan Notice, then the applicable Loans shall be made as or
converted to, ABR Loans. Any such automatic conversion to ABR Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Eurodollar Rate Loans. If the Borrower requests a Borrowing of, conversion
to, or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans in any such Committed Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month. 

(b) Following receipt of a Committed Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Appropriate Lender of the amount of its
Pro Rata Share of the Loans, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Appropriate Lender of the details of any automatic conversion to ABR Loans or continuation
described in Section 2.02(a). In the case of each Borrowing, each Appropriate Lender shall make (or cause its Applicable Lending Office to make) the amount of its Loan available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the
Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day specified in the applicable Committed Loan Notice. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (and, if such
Borrowing is the initial Credit Extension, Section 4.01), the Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received available to the Borrower in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent either by (i) crediting the account of the
Borrower on the books of the Administrative Agent with the amount of such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative Agent by the
Borrower; provided that if, on the date the Committed Loan Notice with respect to such Borrowing is given by the Borrower, there are L/C Borrowings outstanding, then the proceeds of such Borrowing shall be applied, first, to the
payment in full of any such L/C Borrowings and second, to the Borrower as provided above. 
 (c) Except as otherwise provided herein,
a Eurodollar Rate Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurodollar Rate Loan unless the Borrower pays the amount due, if any, under Section 2.17 in connection therewith. During the existence of a
Default under Section 7.01(a), 7.01(b), 7.01(h), 7.01(i) or an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders may require that no Loans may be converted to or continued as Eurodollar Rate Loans. 

(d) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for
Eurodollar Rate Loans upon determination of such interest rate. The determination of the Eurodollar Rate by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. 

(e) Anything in subsections (a) to (d) above to the contrary notwithstanding, after giving effect to all Borrowings, all conversions
of Loans from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than ten Interest Periods in the aggregate in effect for all Borrowings, unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent. 

  
 49 








 (f) The failure of any Lender to make the Loan to be made by it as part of any Borrowing shall
not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Loan on the date of such Borrowing, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Loan to be made by such other Lender on the date of
any Borrowing. 
 SECTION 2.03 Letters of Credit. 

(a) The Letter of Credit Commitments. 

(i) On and after the Effective Date, each Existing Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a Letter of Credit issued hereunder
for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and for all purposes hereof will be deemed to have been issued on the Effective Date. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (1) each Issuing Bank agrees, in
reliance upon the agreements of the other Revolving Lenders set forth in this Section 2.03, (A) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Effective Date until the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, to issue Letters of
Credit denominated in Dollars for the account of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties and to amend or renew Letters of Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with Section 2.03(b), and (B) to honor drafts under the Letters of
Credit and (2) the Revolving Lenders severally agree to participate in Letters of Credit issued pursuant to this Section 2.03(a)(i); provided that no Issuing Bank shall be obligated to make any L/C Credit Extension with respect to
any Letter of Credit, and no Lender shall be obligated to participate in any Letter of Credit if, in each case, after giving effect to such L/C Credit Extension, (1) the Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations would exceed the Letter of
Credit Sublimit, (2) the Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations of any Issuing Bank would exceed such Issuing Bank’s Letter of Credit Commitment, (3) the Revolving Exposure of any Lender would exceed such Lender’s Revolving
Commitment, or (4) the aggregate Revolving Exposure of all Revolving Lenders at such time would exceed the Line Cap. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower’s ability to obtain Letters of
Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly the Borrower may, during the foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed. 

(ii) An Issuing Bank shall be under no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if: 

(1) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain
such Issuing Bank from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to such Issuing Bank or any directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such Issuing Bank shall prohibit, or
direct that such Issuing Bank refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital
requirement (for which such Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Effective Date, or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank any loss cost or expense which was not applicable on the Effective Date (for which such
Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated hereunder); 

  
 50 








 (2) subject to Section 2.03(b)(iii), the expiry date of such requested
Letter of Credit would occur more than twelve months after the date of issuance or last renewal, unless the Required Lenders have approved such expiry date; 

(3) the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur after the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, unless all the
Revolving Lenders have approved such expiry date; 
 (4) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate any Laws binding
upon such Issuing Bank; or 
 (5) the Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency other than Dollars. 

(iii) An Issuing Bank shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (1) such Issuing Bank would have no
obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof, or (2) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit. 

(iv) In the case where any Revolving Lender is at any time a Defaulting Lender, the Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of
the L/C Obligations will be reallocated among all Revolving Lenders that are not Defaulting Lenders (pro rata in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Share) but only to the extent the total Revolving Exposure of all Revolving Lenders that are
not Defaulting Lenders plus such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the L/C Obligations and any Swingline Loans, except to the extent Cash Collateralized, does not exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit (calculated excluding the
Revolving Commitment of any Defaulting Lender except to the extent of any outstanding Revolving Loans of such Defaulting Lender in which case the Revolving Commitments of all Defaulting Lenders shall be deemed to be zero (except to the extent Cash
Collateral has been posted by such Defaulting Lender in respect of any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Obligations or participations in Swingline Loans) for purposes of any determination of the Revolving Lenders’ respective Pro
Rata Share of L/C Obligations (including for purposes of all fee calculations hereunder)). To the extent any Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the L/C Obligations is not reallocated to Revolving Lenders that are not Defaulting Lenders
pursuant to immediately preceding sentence for any reason, the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize any such L/C Obligations in accordance with Section 2.13 within two Business Days following the Administrative Agent’s request therefor. 

(v) No Letter of Credit shall be issued the Stated Amount of which, when added to the Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations
(exclusive of the Unreimbursed Amount of Letters of Credit which are repaid on the date of, and prior to or at the time of, the issuance of the relevant Letter of Credit) at such time, would exceed either (1) the Letter of Credit Sublimit or
(2) when added to the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Loans then outstanding, an amount equal to the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments at such time (after giving effect to any reductions to the aggregate amount of the
Revolving Commitments on such date). 

  
 51 








 (b) Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit; Auto Renewal Letters of
Credit. 
 (i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of the Borrower
delivered to the applicable Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit Application together with a Committed Loan Notice requesting the issuance of such Letter of Credit, appropriately completed and
signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by the relevant Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) at least three Business Days prior

Day), (3) the nature of the proposed amendment, and (4) such other matters as the relevant Issuing Bank may reasonably request. 

(ii) Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the relevant Issuing Bank will confirm with the Administrative
Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from the Borrower and, if not, such Issuing Bank will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Upon receipt by the
relevant Issuing Bank of confirmation from the Administrative Agent that the requested issuance or amendment is permitted in accordance with the terms hereof, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, such Issuing Bank shall, on the
requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower or such Subsidiary, as the case may be, or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, and without any
further action on the part of an Issuing Bank or the Lenders, each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees, to acquire from the relevant Issuing Bank a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an
amount equal to the product of such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share times the amount of such Letter of Credit, effective upon the issuance of such Letter of Credit. 

(iii) If the Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the relevant Issuing Bank shall agree to
issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic renewal provisions (each, an “Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit must permit the relevant Issuing Bank to prevent any such renewal
at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Nonrenewal Notice Date”) in each such
twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the relevant Issuing Bank, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the relevant Issuing Bank for any such
renewal. Once an Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit has been issued, the applicable Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the relevant Issuing Bank to permit the renewal of such Letter of Credit at any


  
 52 








 
time to an expiry date not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided that the relevant Issuing Bank shall not permit any such renewal if (1) the relevant Issuing Bank
has determined that it would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its renewed form under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of Section 2.03(a)(ii) or otherwise), or (2) it has received notice (which
may be by telephone, followed promptly in writing, or in writing) on or before the day that is ten Business Days before the Nonrenewal Notice Date from the Administrative Agent or any Revolving Lender, as applicable, or the Borrower that one or more
of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then satisfied or waived. 
 (iv) Promptly after its
delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the relevant Issuing Bank will also deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a true and
complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment. 
 (c) Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations. 

(i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the
relevant Issuing Bank shall notify promptly the Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof. On the Business Day on which the Borrower shall have received notice of any payment by an Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit (or, if the Borrower shall
have received such notice later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on any Business Day, on the immediately following Business Day) (each such date, an “Honor Date”), the Borrower shall reimburse such Issuing Bank through the
Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing. If the Borrower fails to so reimburse such Issuing Bank by such time, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Appropriate Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the
unreimbursed drawing (the “Unreimbursed Amount”) and the amount of such Appropriate Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof. In such event, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Revolving Borrowing of ABR Loans to be
disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.02 for the principal amount of ABR Loans but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the
Revolving Commitments of the Appropriate Lenders, and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than the delivery of a Committed Loan Notice). Any notice given by an Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this
Section 2.03(c)(i) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice. 

(ii) Each Revolving Lender (including any such Lender acting as an Issuing Bank) shall upon any notice pursuant to
Section 2.03(c)(i) make funds available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant Issuing Bank at the Applicable Lending Office for payments in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of any Unreimbursed Amount in respect of a
Letter of Credit not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon each Revolving Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made an ABR Loan to
the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the relevant Issuing Bank. 

(iii) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount in respect of a Letter of Credit that is not fully refinanced by a Revolving
Borrowing of ABR Loans because the 

  
 53 








 
conditions set forth in Section 4.02 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason (including due to failure of a Defaulting Lender to fund its Pro Rata Share of such Unreimbursed Amount to
the extent not reimbursed, Cash Collateralized or otherwise funded in accordance with Section 2.14), the Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the relevant Issuing Bank an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is
not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. In such event, each Revolving Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the
relevant Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(ii) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this
Section 2.03. 
 (iv) Until each Revolving Lender funds its Revolving Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to this
Section 2.03(c) to reimburse the relevant Issuing Bank for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such amount shall be solely for the account of the relevant Issuing Bank. 

(v) Each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans or L/C Advances to reimburse an Issuing Bank for amounts
drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.03(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (1) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which
such Lender may have against the relevant Issuing Bank, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (2) the occurrence or continuance of a Default; or (3) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to
any of the foregoing; provided that each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans (but not L/C Advances) pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than delivery
by the Borrower of a Committed Loan Notice). No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the relevant Issuing Bank for the amount of any payment made by such Issuing Bank under any
Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein. 
 (vi) If any Revolving Lender fails to make available to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant Issuing Bank any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03(c) by the time specified in Section 2.03(c)(ii), such Issuing Bank
shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to
such Issuing Bank at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate. A certificate of the relevant Issuing Bank submitted to any Revolving Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this
Section 2.03(c)(vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 (vii) If, at any time after an Issuing Bank has made a
payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Revolving Lender such Lender’s L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with this Section 2.03(c), the Administrative Agent receives for the account of such Issuing
Bank any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will
distribute to each Revolving Lender its Pro Rata Share thereof (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest 

  
 54 








 
payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s L/C Advance was outstanding) in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent; provided that no such
payments shall be distributed in respect of the Pro Rata Share of any Defaulting Lender that did not fund its participation obligations in respect of such Letter of Credit. 

(viii) If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of an Issuing Bank pursuant to
Section 2.03(c)(i) is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 9.09 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such Issuing Bank in its discretion), each Revolving Lender shall pay to the
Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Bank its Pro Rata Share thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per annum
equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate. 
 (d) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the relevant
Issuing Bank for each drawing under each Letter of Credit issued by it and to repay each L/C Borrowing shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all
circumstances, including the following: 
 (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this
Agreement, or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto; 
 (ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff,
defense or other right that any Loan Party may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the relevant Issuing Bank or any
other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction; 

(iii) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent,
invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit; 

(iv) any payment by the relevant Issuing Bank under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that
does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by the relevant Issuing Bank under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of
creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law; 

(v) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any Collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure
from the Guarantee Agreement or any other guarantee, for all or any of the Obligations of any Loan Party in respect of such Letter of Credit; or 

(vi) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other
circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Loan Party; 

  
 55 








 provided that the foregoing shall not excuse any Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrower to the extent
of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential, punitive or special damages, claims in respect of which are waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable Law) suffered by the Borrower to the extent such damages are determined by a
final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have been caused by such Issuing Bank’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of
Credit comply with the terms thereof. 
 (e) Role of Issuing Banks. Each Lender and the Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing
under a Letter of Credit, the relevant Issuing Bank shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the
validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the Issuing Banks, any Related Parties of the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank nor any of the respective
correspondents, participants or assignees of any Issuing Bank shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable,
(ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Letter of
Credit Application. The Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the
Borrower’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the Issuing Banks, any Related Parties of the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank, nor any of
the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of any Issuing Bank, shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (iii) of this Section 2.03(e); provided that anything in such
clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower may have a claim against an Issuing Bank, and such Issuing Bank may be liable to the Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages,
punitive or special damages, claims suffered in respect of which are suffered by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable Law, suffered by the Borrower caused by such Issuing Bank’s willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence or
such Issuing Bank’s willful, bad-faith or grossly negligent failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a
Letter of Credit, in each case as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each Issuing Bank may accept documents that appear on their face to be in
order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and no Issuing Bank shall be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to
transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason. 

(f) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender (in accordance
with its Pro Rata Share) a Letter of Credit fee for each Letter of Credit issued pursuant to this Agreement equal to the product of (i) the Applicable Rate for Revolving Loans that are Eurodollar Rate Loans and (ii) the average daily
Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit; provided that Letter of Credit fees accrued with respect to any Pro Rata Share of any Letters of Credit during the period prior to the time any Lender became a Defaulting Lender and unpaid at such time
shall not be payable by the Administrative Agent so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender 

  
 56 








 
except to the extent that such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Letter of Credit fee shall otherwise have been due and payable to such Defaulting Lender prior to such time; and
provided, further, that no Letter of Credit fee shall accrue to any Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender. Such Letter of Credit fees shall be computed on a quarterly basis in arrears and shall be
payable on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December and on the Revolving Maturity Date, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and,
thereafter, on demand. 
 (g) Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to Issuing Banks. The Borrower shall pay to
each Issuing Bank, for its own account, a fronting fee (a “Fronting Fee”) with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by it equal to 0.25% per annum of the Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit. Such Fronting Fees shall be
computed on a quarterly basis in arrears and shall be payable on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December and on the Revolving Maturity Date, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of
Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. In addition, the Borrower shall pay directly to each Issuing Bank for its own account the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other
standard costs and charges, of such Issuing Bank relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect. Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and payable within three Business Days of demand and are non-refundable.

 (h) Conflict with Letter of Credit Application. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in any Letter of Credit Application,
in the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the terms of any Loan Document and the terms of any Letter of Credit Application, the terms of such Loan Document shall control. 

(i) Borrower Obligations. Notwithstanding the fact that any Letters of Credit are issued for the account of Subsidiaries of the
Borrower, any such L/C Obligations in respect of such Letters of Credit issued for the account of Subsidiaries shall for all purposes constitute Obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and any Credit Extensions in respect of Letters of
Credit, as the case may be, shall be Credit Extensions made for the account of the Borrower hereunder. 
 SECTION 2.04 Swingline
Loans. 
 (a) The Swingline. 

(i) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swingline Lender agrees to make loans (each such loan, a
“Swingline Loan”) to the Borrower from time to time during the Revolving Availability Period in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of the Swingline Sublimit, notwithstanding the fact that such
Swingline Loans, when aggregated with the Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of Revolving Loans and L/C Obligations of the Lender acting as Swingline Lender, may exceed the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment; provided
further that after giving effect to any Swingline Loan, (i) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Loans of any Lender, plus such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, plus such
Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of all Swingline Loans shall not exceed such Lender’s Revolving Commitment then in effect, and (ii) the aggregate Revolving Exposure of all Revolving Lenders at such time would exceed
the Line Cap; provided further that, the Borrower shall not use the proceeds of any Swingline Loan to refinance any outstanding Swingline Loan. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the
Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.04, prepay under 

  
 57 








 
Section 2.11, and reborrow under this Section 2.04. Each Swingline Loan shall be an ABR Loan. Immediately upon the making of a Swingline Loan, each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to,
and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Swingline Lender a risk participation in such Swingline Loan in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share times the amount of such Swingline Loan. 

(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time any Revolving Lender is a Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender’s
Pro Rata Share of the Swingline Loans will be reallocated among all Revolving Lenders that are not Defaulting Lenders (pro rata in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares) but only to the extent the total Revolving Exposure of all Revolving
Lenders that are not Defaulting Lenders plus such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Swingline Loans and any L/C Obligations, in each case, except to the extent Cash Collateralized, does not exceed the aggregate Revolving
Commitments (excluding the Revolving Commitment of any Defaulting Lender except to the extent of any outstanding Revolving Loans of such Defaulting Lender, in which case the Revolving Commitments of all Defaulting Lenders shall be deemed to be zero
(except to the extent Cash Collateral has been posted by such Defaulting Lender in respect of any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s participations in Swingline Loans or L/C Obligations) for purposes of any determination of the Revolving
Lenders’ respective Pro Rata Shares of the Swingline Loans (including for purposes of all fee calculations hereunder)). 
 (b)
Borrowing Procedures. Each Swingline Borrowing shall be made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable written notice to the Swingline Lender. Each such notice must be received by the Swingline Lender not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time)
on the requested borrowing date, and shall specify (i) the amount to be borrowed, which shall be a minimum of $1,000,000 (and any amount in excess thereof shall be an integral multiple of $500,000), and (ii) the requested borrowing date,
which shall be a Business Day. Each such telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Swingline Lender of a written Swingline Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Promptly after
receipt by the Swingline Lender of any telephonic Swingline Loan Notice, the Swingline Lender will, provided that all applicable conditions in Section 4.02 are satisfied or waived, not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the
borrowing date specified in such Swingline Loan Notice, make the amount of its Swingline Loan available to the Borrower. 
 (c)
Refinancing of Swingline Loans. 
 (i) The Swingline Lender at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may (and,
not less frequently than weekly, shall) request, on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably authorizes the Swingline Lender to so request on its behalf), that each Revolving Lender make an ABR Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s
Pro Rata Share of the amount of Swingline Loans then outstanding. Such request shall be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a Committed Loan Notice for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of
Section 2.02, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified therein for the principal amount of ABR Loans, but subject to the unutilized portion of the aggregate Revolving Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02.
The Swingline Lender shall furnish the Borrower with a copy of the applicable Committed Loan Notice promptly after delivering such notice to the Administrative Agent. Each Revolving Lender shall make an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the
amount specified in such Committed Loan Notice available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds for the account of the Swingline Lender at the Administrative Agent’s Office for payments not later than 1:00 p.m. (New


  
 58 








 
York City time) on the day specified in such Committed Loan Notice, whereupon, subject to Section 2.04(c)(ii), each Revolving Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have
made an ABR Loan to the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Swingline Lender. 

(ii) If for any reason any Swingline Loan cannot be refinanced by such a Revolving Borrowing in accordance with this
Section 2.04(c), the request for ABR Loans submitted by the Swingline Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by the Swingline Lender that each of the Revolving Lenders fund its risk participation in the relevant Swingline
Loan and each Revolving Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(i) shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation. 

(iii) If any Revolving Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender any
amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.04(c) by the time specified in Section 2.04(c)(i), the Swingline Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the
Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Swingline Lender at a rate per annum equal to the Federal
Funds Effective Rate. A certificate of the Swingline Lender submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

(iv) Each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans or to purchase and fund risk participations in Swingline
Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (1) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the
Swingline Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (2) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, (3) the reduction or termination of the Revolving Commitments, or (4) any other occurrence, event or
condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided that each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans (but not to purchase and fund risk participations in Swingline Loans) pursuant to this
Section 2.04(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02. No such funding of risk participations (1) shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to repay Swingline Loans, together with interest as
provided herein or (2) shall relieve the Borrower or any default in the payment thereof. 
 (d) Repayment of Participations.

 (i) At any time after any Revolving Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in a Swingline Loan, if the
Swingline Lender receives any payment on account of such Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender will distribute to such Lender its Pro Rata Share of such payment (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time
during which such Lender’s risk participation was funded) in the same funds as those received by the Swingline Lender. 

(ii) If any payment received by the Swingline Lender in respect of principal or interest on any Swingline Loan is required to
be returned by the Swingline Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 9.09 (including pursuant to any 

  
 59 








 
settlement entered into by the Swingline Lender in its discretion), each Revolving Lender shall pay to the Swingline Lender its Pro Rata Share thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus
interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate. The Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of the Swingline Lender. 

(e) Interest for Account of Swingline Lender. The Swingline Lender shall be responsible for invoicing the Borrower for interest on the
Swingline Loans. Until each Revolving Lender funds its ABR Loan or risk participation pursuant to this Section 2.04 to refinance such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any Swingline Loan, interest in respect of such Pro Rata Share shall be solely
for the account of the Swingline Lender. 
 (f) Payments Directly to Swingline Lender. The Borrower shall make all payments of
principal and interest in respect of the Swingline Loans directly to the Swingline Lender. 
 (g) Resignation or Removal of the Swingline
Lender. The Swingline Lender may resign as the Swingline Lender hereunder at any time upon at least 30 days’ prior written notice to the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower. Following such notice of resignation from the
Swingline Lender, the Swingline Lender may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower (with the Borrower’s agreement not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), the Administrative Agent and the successor
Swingline Lender. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of the Swingline Lender. At the time any such resignation or replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the
account of the replaced Swingline Lender. From and after the effective date of any such resignation or replacement, (i) the successor Swingline Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of the Swingline Lender under this Agreement with
respect to Swingline Loans to be made by it thereafter and (ii) references herein and in the other Loan Documents to the term “Swingline Lender” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Swingline Lender, or to
such successor and all previous Swingline Lenders, as the context shall require. After the resignation or replacement of the Swingline Lender hereunder, the replaced Swingline Lender shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the
rights and obligations of the Swingline Lender under this Agreement with respect to Swingline Loans made by it prior to such resignation or replacement, but shall not be required to make additional Swingline Loans. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Section 2.04(g) or otherwise, the Swingline Lender may not resign until such time as a successor Swingline Lender has been appointed. 

SECTION 2.05 Termination or Reduction of Commitments. 

(a) Optional. The Borrower may, upon written notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate the unused Commitments, or from time to time
permanently reduce the unused Commitments; provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by the Administrative Agent at least three Business Days prior to the date of the proposed termination or reduction, (ii) any such
partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $1,000,000 or any whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof, and (iii) if, after giving effect to any reduction of the Commitments, the Letter of Credit Sublimit exceeds the amount of the
aggregate Revolving Commitments, such sublimit shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such excess. 
 (b) Mandatory. 

(i) The Revolving Commitments (A) shall be automatically reduced, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, by the principal amount of
Indebtedness issued or incurred in contravention of Section 6.01 and (B) shall automatically terminate on the Revolving Maturity Date. The Letter of Credit Commitment shall automatically terminate on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date.


  
 60 








 (ii) The Letter of Credit Commitments shall be permanently reduced from time to
time on the date of each reduction in the aggregate Revolving Commitments by the amount, if any, by which the amount of the aggregate Letter of Credit Commitments exceed the aggregate Revolving Commitments after giving effect to such reduction of
the aggregate Revolving Commitments. 
 (c) Application of Commitment Reductions; Payment of Fees. The Administrative Agent will
promptly notify the Appropriate Lenders of any termination or reduction of unused portions of the Letter of Credit Sublimit or the unused Commitments under this Section 2.05. Upon any reduction of unused Commitments, the Commitment of each
Lender shall be reduced by such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the amount by which such Commitments are reduced (other than the termination of the Commitment of any Lender as provided in Section 2.20). All Unused Line Fees accrued until the
effective date of any termination of the Revolving Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of such termination. 
 SECTION 2.06
Repayment of Loans. 
 (a) Revolving Loans. The Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of
the Appropriate Lenders on the Revolving Maturity Date for the aggregate principal amount of all of its Revolving Loans outstanding on such date. 

(b) Swingline Loans. The Borrower shall repay all outstanding Swingline Loans on the earlier to occur of (i) the date five
Business Days after such Loan is made and (ii) the Revolving Maturity Date. 
 SECTION 2.07 Interest. 

(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.07(b), (i) each Eurodollar Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal
amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period, as the case may be, plus the Applicable Rate and (ii) each ABR Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount
thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate. 
 (b)
Notwithstanding the foregoing, commencing (i) upon the occurrence of and during the continuation of an Event of Default under Section 7.01(a), 7.01(b), 7.01(h) or 7.01(i) and (ii) at the Administrative Agent’s request (at the
direction of the Required Lenders) upon the occurrence of and during the continuation of any Event of Default not described in the foregoing clause (i), all principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrower
hereunder shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the following (the “Default Rate”) (1) in the case of principal of any Loan, 2.00% per annum plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in
Section 2.07(a) or (2) in the case of any other amount, 2.00% per annum plus the rate applicable to ABR Revolving Loans as provided in as provided in Section 2.07(a) at such time; provided that no amount shall be payable
pursuant to this Section 2.07(b) to a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender; and provided further that no amounts shall accrue pursuant to this Section 2.07(b) on any amount, reimbursement obligation
in respect of any L/C Advance or other amount payable to a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender. 
 (c)
Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified herein. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and
after any judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law. 

  
 61 








 SECTION 2.08 Fees. In addition to certain fees described in Section 2.03(f) and
(g): 
 (a) Unused Line Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender in
accordance with its Pro Rata Share, an unused line fee (the “Unused Line Fee”) equal to the Applicable Unused Line Fee Percentage multiplied by the average daily amount by which the aggregate Revolving Commitment exceeds the sum of
(i) the Outstanding Amount of Revolving Loans and (ii) the Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations; provided that the Swingline Exposure of the Revolving Lenders shall be disregarded for purposes of determining the Unused Line Fee;
provided further that the Unused Line Fee accrued with respect to any of the Revolving Commitments of a Defaulting Lender during the period prior to the time such Lender became a Defaulting Lender and unpaid at such time shall not be
payable by the Borrower so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender except to the extent that such Unused Line Fee shall otherwise have been due and payable by the Borrower prior to such time; and provided, further, that no
Unused Line Fee shall accrue on any of the Revolving Commitments of a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender. The Unused Line Fees shall accrue at all times from the Effective Date until the Revolving Maturity Date,
including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in Article IV is not satisfied, and shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the first Business Day of each fiscal quarter and on the Revolving Maturity Date, commencing with
the first such date to occur after the Effective Date and on the Revolving Maturity Date. The Unused Line Fee shall be calculated quarterly in arrears. 

(b) Other Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Agents such fees as shall have been separately agreed upon in the Fee Letter or otherwise
in writing in the amounts and at the times so specified. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever (except as expressly agreed between the Borrower and the applicable Agent). 

SECTION 2.09 Computation of Interest and Fees. 

(a) All computations of interest for ABR Loans shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 days or 366 days, as the case may be, and
actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360 day year and actual days elapsed. Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which such Loan is made, and shall not accrue on such Loan,
or any portion thereof, for the day on which such Loan or such portion is paid; provided that any such Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.11(a), bear interest for one day. Each
determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. 

(b) If, as a result of any restatement of or other adjustment to the financial statements of the Borrower, the inaccuracy of any Balance Sheet
Certificate or Borrowing Base Certificate, or for any other reason, the Borrower or the Lenders determine that (i) the Average Availability as of any applicable date was inaccurate and (ii) a proper calculation of the Average Availability
would have resulted in higher pricing for such period, the Borrower shall be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, promptly on demand by the Administrative
Agent (or, after the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect the Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code, automatically and without further action by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank), an amount
equal to the excess of the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for such period over the amount of interest and fees actually paid for such period. This paragraph shall not limit the rights of the Administrative Agent, any


  
 62 








 
Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, under Section 2.03(c)(iv), 2.03(f) or (g) or 2.07(b) or under Article VII. The Borrower’s obligations under this paragraph
shall survive the termination of the Commitments and acceleration of the Loans pursuant to Section 7.02 and the repayment of all other Obligations after an acceleration of the Loans pursuant to Section 7.02. Any additional interest under
this clause (b) shall not be due and payable until demand is made for such payment pursuant to clause (ii) above and accordingly, any nonpayment of such interest as result of any such inaccuracy shall not constitute a Default (whether
retroactively or otherwise), and no such amounts shall be deemed overdue (and no amounts shall accrue interest at the Default Rate), at any time prior to the date that is two Business Days following such demand. 

SECTION 2.10 Evidence of Indebtedness. 

(a) The Credit Extensions made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and evidenced by
one or more entries in the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent, as agent for the Borrower, in each case in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be
prima facie evidence absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by the Lenders to the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or
otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the
Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall execute
and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Note payable to such Lender, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the
date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto. 
 (b) In addition to the accounts and
records referred to in Section 2.10(c), each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records and, in the case of the Administrative Agent, entries in the Register, evidencing the
purchases and sales by such Lender of participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect
of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. 
 (c) Entries made in
good faith by the Administrative Agent in the Register pursuant to Section 2.10(a) and (b), and by each Lender in its account or accounts pursuant to Section 2.10(a) and (b), shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of
principal and interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to, in the case of the Register, each Lender and, in the case of such account or accounts, such Lender, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, absent
manifest error; provided that the failure of the Administrative Agent or such Lender to make an entry, or any finding that an entry is incorrect, in the Register or such account or accounts shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations
of the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 
 SECTION 2.11 Prepayment of Loans. 

(a) Optional Prepayments. 

(i) The Borrower may, upon delivery of a written notice substantially in the form of Exhibit J from a Responsible Officer
thereof to the Administrative Agent, at any 

  
 63 








 
time or from time to time, voluntarily prepay Revolving Loans, in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (1) such notice must be received by the Administrative
Agent not later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) (A) three Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans and (B) one Business Day prior to any date of prepayment of ABR Loans, and (2) any prepayment
shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof or, in each case, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and
the Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Appropriate Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the
Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Any prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest thereon,
together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.17. 
 (ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Agreement, the Borrower may rescind any notice of prepayment under Section 2.11(a) if such prepayment would have resulted from a refinancing in full of all of the Facilities, which refinancing shall not be consummated or shall
otherwise be delayed as a result of the failure or delay in the consummation of a substantially concurrent Disposition or issuance and sale of Equity Interests or all or substantially all of the Borrower’s and its Subsidiaries’ assets,
incurrence of Indebtedness by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or a transaction that would constitute a Change in Control. 
 (b)
Mandatory Prepayments. 
 (i) (1) If the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries Disposes of any property (other than any
Disposition of any property permitted by Section 6.05(a), (b), (c), (d) (to the extent constituting a Disposition to a Loan Party), or (f)) or any Casualty Event occurs, which in the aggregate results in the realization or receipt by
the Borrower or any such Subsidiary of Net Proceeds, the Borrower shall make a prepayment, in accordance with Section 2.11(b)(i)(3), of an aggregate principal amount of Revolving Loans equal to 100% of all such Net Proceeds
realized or received by the Borrower or such Subsidiary in connection with such Disposition or Casualty Event; provided that no such prepayment shall be required pursuant to this Section 2.11(b)(i)(1) with respect to such portion of such
Net Proceeds that the Borrower shall have, on or prior to such date, given written notice to the Administrative Agent of its intent to reinvest in accordance with Section 2.11(b)(i)(2) (which notice may only be provided if no Default has
occurred and is continuing). 
 (2) With respect to any Net Proceeds realized or received with respect to any Disposition
(other than any Disposition expressly excluded from the application of Section 2.11(b)(i)(1)) or any Casualty Event, at the option of the Borrower, the Borrower may, within 12 months following receipt of such Net Proceeds, reinvest
all or any portion of such Net Proceeds in assets useful for the business of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries; provided that (A) so long as any Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrower shall not be permitted to make
any such reinvestments (other than pursuant to a legally binding commitment that the Borrower entered into at a time when no Default is continuing) and (B) if any Net Proceeds are not so reinvested by the deadline specified above or if any such
Net Proceeds are no longer intended to be or 

  
 64 








 
cannot be so reinvested at any time after delivery of a notice of reinvestment election, an amount equal to 100% of any such Net Proceeds shall be applied, in accordance with
Section 2.11(b)(i)(3), to the prepayment of the Revolving Loans as set forth in this Section 2.11. 
 (3) On each
occasion that the Borrower must make a prepayment of the Revolving Loans pursuant to this Section 2.11(b)(i), the Borrower shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable and in any event within five Business Days after the date of realization or
receipt of such Net Proceeds (or, in the case of prepayments required pursuant to Section 2.11(b)(i)(2), as promptly as reasonably practicable and in any event within two Business Days after the deadline specified therein, or after the date the
Borrower reasonably determines that such Net Proceeds are no longer intended to be or cannot be so reinvested, as the case may be), make a prepayment, in accordance with Section 2.11(b)(iv) below, of the principal amount of Revolving Loans in
an amount equal to 100% of such Net Proceeds realized or received. 
 (ii) If the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries
incurs or issues any Indebtedness not expressly permitted to be incurred or issued pursuant to Section 6.01, the Borrower shall cause to be prepaid an aggregate principal amount of Revolving Loans equal to 100% of all Net Proceeds received
therefrom as promptly as reasonably practicable and in any event within five Business Days after the receipt of such Net Proceeds. 

(iii) Except as expressly permitted under Section 2.01(c), if at any time the aggregate Revolving Exposure of all
Revolving Lenders would exceed the Line Cap then in effect, the Borrower shall immediately repay or prepay Revolving Borrowings (and, after the Revolving Borrowings shall have been repaid or prepaid in full, replace, cause to be cancelled or Cash
Collateralize (or make other arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank with respect to) Letters of Credit) in an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess. 

(iv) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any mandatory prepayment of Revolving Loans required to
be made pursuant to clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of this Section 2.11(b) at least three Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment. Each such notice shall specify the date of such prepayment and provide a reasonably
detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Appropriate Lender of the contents of the Borrower’s prepayment notice and of such Appropriate Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the
prepayment. 
 (v) Prepayments of the Revolving Loans made pursuant to clause (iii) of this Section 2.11(b) shall
be applied first to prepay to L/C Borrowings then outstanding until such L/C Borrowings are paid in full, second, to prepay Revolving Loans then outstanding comprising part of the same Borrowings until such Loans are paid in full and
third, to Cash Collateralize 105% of the aggregate Stated Amount of Letters of Credit then outstanding; provided that the remaining amount (if any) after the prepayment in full of such Loans and extensions of credit then
outstanding and the 105% Cash Collateralization of the aggregate Stated Amount of Letters of Credit then outstanding may be retained by the Borrower. Upon the drawing of any Letter of Credit which has been Cash Collateralized (in whole or in
part), such Cash Collateral shall be applied to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank or the Revolving Lenders, as applicable. Each such prepayment shall be paid to the Revolving Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares. 

  
 65 








 (vi) Upon the occurrence, and during the continuance of a Cash Dominion Period,
subject to the provisions of Section 7.03, on each Business Day, the Administrative Agent shall apply all disbursements and payments made in immediately available funds credited to the Agent Sweep Account, to repay or prepay Loans (and, after
the Loans shall have been repaid or prepaid in full, replace, cause to be cancelled or Cash Collateralize (or make other arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank with respect to) Letters of Credit. 

(vii) Except as provided in Section 2.05(b)(i) prepayments under this Section 2.11(b) shall not result in a reduction
of the Revolving Commitments. 
 (c) Interest. 

(i) All prepayments under this Section 2.11 shall be accompanied by all accrued interest thereon, together with, in the
case of any such prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan on a date other than the last day of an Interest Period therefor, any amounts owing in respect of such Eurodollar Rate Loan pursuant to Section 2.17. 

(ii) Notwithstanding any of the other provisions of this Section 2.11, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing, if any prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans is required to be made under this Section 2.11, prior to the last day of the Interest Period therefor, in lieu of making any payment pursuant to this Section 2.11 in respect of
any such Eurodollar Rate Loan prior to the last day of the Interest Period therefor, the Borrower may, in its sole discretion, deposit with the Administrative Agent the amount of any such prepayment otherwise required to be made hereunder until the
last day of such Interest Period, at which time the Administrative Agent shall be authorized (without any further action by or notice to or from the Borrower or any other Loan Party) to apply such amount to the prepayment of such Loans in accordance
with this Section 2.11. Such deposit shall constitute Cash Collateral for the Eurodollar Rate Loans to be so prepaid, provided that the Borrower may at any time direct that such deposit be applied to make the applicable payment required
pursuant to this Section 2.11. 
 SECTION 2.12 Payments Generally. 

(a) All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff.
Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the applicable Administrative Agent’s
Office and in immediately available funds not later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the date specified herein. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Pro Rata Share (or other applicable share as provided
herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Applicable Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 12:00 noon (New York City time) on any day shall be deemed received on
the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. 
 (b) If any payment to be made by the
Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time 

  
 66 








 
shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be; provided that if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of Eurodollar Rate Loans to be made in
the next succeeding calendar month, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. 
 (c) Unless the Borrower or any
Lender has notified the Administrative Agent, prior to the date any payment is required to be made by it to the Administrative Agent hereunder, that the Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, will not make such payment, the Administrative
Agent may assume that the Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, has timely made such payment and may (but shall not be so required to), in reliance thereon, make available a corresponding amount to the Person entitled thereto. If and to the
extent that such payment was not in fact made to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds, then: 
 (i) if the
Borrower failed to make such payment, each Lender shall forthwith on demand repay to the Administrative Agent the portion of such assumed payment that was made available to such Lender in immediately available funds, together with interest thereon
in respect of each day from and including the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Federal Funds Effective
Rate; and 
 (ii) if any Lender failed to make such payment, such Lender shall forthwith on demand pay to the Administrative
Agent the amount thereof in immediately available funds, together with interest thereon for the period from the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower to the date such amount is recovered by the
Administrative Agent (the “Compensation Period”) at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate. When such Lender makes payment to the Administrative Agent (together with all accrued interest thereon), then such
payment amount (excluding the amount of any interest which may have accrued and been paid in respect of such late payment) shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in the applicable Borrowing. If such Lender does not pay such amount
forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, then the Administrative Agent may make a demand therefor upon the Borrower and the Borrower shall pay such amount to the Administrative Agent, together with interest thereon for the
Compensation Period at a rate per annum equal to the rate of interest applicable to the applicable Borrowing. Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitment or to prejudice any rights which the
Administrative Agent or the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by a Lender hereunder. 
 A notice by the
Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this Section 2.12(c) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. 

(d) If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing
provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth in Article IV are not satisfied or waived in accordance
with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest. 

(e) The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans and to fund participations in Letters of Credit are several and not joint. The
failure of any Lender to make any Loan or to fund any such participation on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender
shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make its Loan or purchase its participation. 

  
 67 








 (f) Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any
particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner. 

(g) Whenever any payment received by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents is insufficient to pay
in full all amounts due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under or in respect of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on any date, such payment shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent and applied by the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders in the order of priority set forth in Section 7.03. If the Administrative Agent receives funds for application to the Obligations of the Loan Parties under or in respect of the Loan Documents under
circumstances for which the Loan Documents do not specify the manner in which such funds are to be applied, the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, elect to distribute such funds to each of the Lenders in accordance with such
Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the sum of (i) the Outstanding Amount of all Loans outstanding at such time and (ii) the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations outstanding at such time, in repayment or prepayment of such of the
outstanding Loans or other Obligations then owing to such Lender. 
 SECTION 2.13 Sharing of Payments. If, other than as
expressly provided elsewhere herein, any Lender shall obtain on account of the Loans made by it, or the participations in L/C Obligations and Swingline Loans held by it, any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right
of setoff, or otherwise) in excess of its ratable share (or other share contemplated hereunder) thereof, such Lender shall immediately (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase from the other Lenders such
participations in the Loans made by them and/or such sub-participations in the participations in L/C Obligations or Swingline Loans held by them, as the case may be, as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment
in respect of such Loans or such participations, as the case may be, pro rata with each of them; provided that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender under any of the circumstances
described in Section 9.09 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the purchasing Lender in its discretion), such purchase shall to that extent be rescinded and each other Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase
price paid therefor, together with an amount equal to such paying Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such paying Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the
purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered, without further interest thereon. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another
Lender may, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, exercise all its rights of payment, including the right of setoff, but subject to Section 9.08 with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor
of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. The Administrative Agent will keep records (which shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error) of participations purchased under this Section 2.13 and will in each case
notify the Lenders following any such purchases or repayments. Each Lender that purchases a participation pursuant to this Section 2.13 shall from and after such purchase have the right to give all notices, requests, demands, directions and
other communications under this Agreement with respect to the portion of the Obligations purchased to the same extent as though the purchasing Lender were the original owner of the Obligations purchased. 

  
 68 








 SECTION 2.14 Cash Collateral. 

(a) If (i) any Event of Default occurs and is continuing and the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, as applicable, require the
Borrower to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations pursuant to Section 7.02(c), (ii) a Default set forth under Section 7.01(i) occurs and is continuing, (iii) the Revolving Commitments are terminated pursuant to
Section 2.05, (iv) any Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the L/C Obligations is not reallocated to non-Defaulting Lenders pursuant to Section 2.03(a)(iv) or (v) any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding on the
Revolving Maturity Date, then (1) in the case of clause (iv) above, the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize the portion of the then Outstanding Amount of such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the L/C Obligations which were not
reallocated to non-Defaulting Lenders pursuant to Section 2.03(a)(iv) and (2) in each other case, the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize the then Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations (in an amount equal to 105% of such Outstanding
Amount determined as of the date of such Event of Default), and shall do so not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on (A) in the case of the immediately preceding clause (i), the Business Day that the Borrower receives notice
thereof, if such notice is received on such day prior to 12:00 noon (New York City time), (B) in the case of the immediately preceding clause (ii), the Business Day on which a Default set forth under Section 7.01(i) occurs and
(C) in any other case, the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower receives such notice and, in each case, if such day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately succeeding such day, by 1:00 p.m. (New York City
time) on such day. 
 (b) The Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Banks and the Revolving
Lenders, to secure the payment and performance of such L/C Obligations, a security interest in all such cash and Deposit Accounts and all balances therein and all proceeds of the foregoing. If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that any
funds held as Cash Collateral are subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Secured Parties) or that the total amount of such funds is less than the aggregate Outstanding Amount of all L/C
Obligations the Borrower will, forthwith upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay to the Administrative Agent Cash Collateral an amount equal to the excess of (i) such aggregate Outstanding Amount over (ii) the total amount of funds,
if any, then held as Cash Collateral that the Administrative Agent reasonably determines to be free and clear of any such right and claim. Upon the drawing of any Letter of Credit for which funds are on deposit as Cash Collateral, such funds shall
be applied, to the extent permitted under applicable Law, to reimburse the relevant Issuing Bank. To the extent the amount of any Cash Collateral exceeds the then Outstanding Amount of such L/C Obligations plus costs incidental thereto and so long
as no other Default has occurred and is continuing, the excess shall be refunded to the Borrower. If any such Default is cured or waived and no other Default is then occurring and continuing, the amount of any Cash Collateral and accrued interest
thereon shall be refunded to the Borrower. 
 SECTION 2.15 Inability to Determine Rates. If the Administrative Agent or the
Required Lenders determine that for any reason adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan, or that the Eurodollar Rate for any
requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, or that Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank market for
the applicable amount and the Interest Period of such Eurodollar Rate Loan, such Lenders shall provide a written notice to the Administrative Agent to such effect (a “Market Disruption Notice”), and, upon receipt of such notice, the
Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and each Lender in writing. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent (promptly upon the instruction
of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such
request into a request for a Borrowing of ABR Loans in the amount specified therein. 

  
 69 








 SECTION 2.16 Increased Costs. 

(a) If any Lender reasonably determines that as a result of the introduction of or any Change in Law or a change in the interpretation of any
Law with which such Lender is required to comply, in each case, after the date hereof, there shall be any increase in the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any Loan (other than an ABR Loan) or issuing or
participating in Letters of Credit, or a reduction in the amount received or receivable by such Lender in connection with any of the foregoing (excluding for purposes of this Section 2.16(a) any such increased costs or reduction in amount
resulting from (i) Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 2.18, (ii) the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Taxes imposed on or measured by net income (including branch profits) and franchise (and similar) Taxes imposed
in lieu of net income taxes payable by such Lender, (iii) any U.S. withholding tax imposed pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code or any Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder or (iv) reserve requirements
contemplated by Section 2.16(c)), then from time to time within ten Business Days after written demand by such Lender setting forth in reasonable detail such increased costs (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent given in
accordance with Section 2.19), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amounts as will reimburse such Lender for such increased cost or reduction; provided that it shall be a condition to such Lender’s exercise of its
rights under this Section 2.16 that such Lender generally be exercising similar rights under similar financing arrangements with respect to similarly situated borrowers. At any time when any Eurodollar Rate Loan is affected by the circumstances
described in this Section 2.16(a), the Borrower may either (i) if the affected Eurodollar Rate Loan is then being made pursuant to a Borrowing, cancel such Borrowing by giving the Administrative Agent telephonic notice (confirmed promptly
in writing) thereof on the same date that the Borrower receives any such demand from such Lender or (ii) if the affected Eurodollar Rate Loan is then outstanding, require the affected Lender to convert such Eurodollar Rate Loan into an ABR
Loan, subject to the requirements of Section 2.17 to the extent applicable. 
 (b) If any Lender reasonably determines that a Change in
Law regarding capital adequacy, liquidity or any change therein or in its interpretation thereof with which such Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) is required to comply, in each case after the date hereof, would have the effect of reducing
the rate of return on the capital of such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender to a level below that which such Lender or the corporation controlling such Lender could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration
such Lender’s policies and the policies of any corporation controlling such Lender with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity) as a consequence of such Lender’s obligations hereunder, then from time to time upon written demand of such
Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the charge and the calculation of such reduced rate of return (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent given in accordance with Section 2.19), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such
additional amounts as will compensate such Lender for such reduction within ten days after receipt of such demand. 
 (c) The Borrower
shall pay to each Lender, (i) as long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurodollar funds or deposits, additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of
each Eurodollar Rate Loan equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error), and (ii) as long
as such Lender shall be required to comply with any reserve ratio requirement or analogous requirement of any other central banking or financial regulatory authority imposed in respect of the maintenance of the Commitments or the funding of the
Eurodollar Rate Loans, such additional costs (expressed as a 

  
 70 








 
percentage per annum and rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest five decimal places) equal to the actual costs allocated to such Commitment or Loan by such Lender (as determined by such
Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) which in each case shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan, provided that the Borrower shall have received at least
ten days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest or cost from such Lender. If a Lender fails to give notice ten days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest or cost
shall be due and payable ten days from receipt of such notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall not be obligated to make any payments to Lenders pursuant to this Section 2.16(c) to the extent that the costs described in
this Section 2.16(c) are then reflected or provided for in the Statutory Rate. 
 (d) Subject to Section 2.19(a), failure or delay
on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.16 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation. 

(e) If any Lender requests compensation under this Section 2.16, then such Lender will, if requested by the Borrower, use commercially
reasonable efforts to designate another Applicable Lending Office for any Loan or Letter of Credit affected by such event; provided that such efforts are made on terms that, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its
Applicable Lending Office(s) to suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage; and provided, further, that nothing in this Section 2.16(e) shall affect or postpone any of the Obligations of the Borrower or the rights of
such Lender pursuant to Section 2.16(a), (b), (c) or (d). 
 SECTION 2.17 Break Funding Payments. Upon written demand
of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Borrower shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of: 

(a) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Eurodollar Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period
for such Loan; or 
 (b) any failure by the Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow,
continue or convert any Loan (other than an ABR Loan) on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrower; 
 including any loss or expense arising from
the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained. 

For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lenders under this Section 2.17, each Lender shall be deemed to have
funded each Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it at the Eurodollar Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurodollar Rate Loan
was in fact so funded. 
 SECTION 2.18 Taxes. 

(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and
without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, provided that if the Borrower or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) shall be required by applicable Laws (as determined in the good faith discretion of the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent (as the case may be)) to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the amount payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that


  
 71 








 
after all required deductions have been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional amounts payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing
Bank (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower or
the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Laws. 

(b) Without limiting the provisions of paragraph (a) above, the Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes (without duplication of
Section 2.17) to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Laws. 
 (c) The Borrower shall indemnify the
Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Issuing Bank within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank as the case may be, on or with
respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document and any Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and any
reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate setting forth in reasonable
detail the basis and calculation of the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or an Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender
or an Issuing Bank, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 (d) To the extent required by any applicable Law, the Administrative Agent
may deduct or withhold from any payment to any Lender or Issuing Bank an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. Each Lender or Issuing Bank shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for
(i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender or Issuing Bank (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower
to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.04(c)(ii) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes
attributable to such Lender or Issuing Bank, 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 or Issuing Bank by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest
error. Each Lender or Issuing Bank hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender or Issuing Bank under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the
Lender or Issuing Bank from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (d). This provision shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or
the replacement of, a Lender or Issuing Bank, the termination of this Agreement and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other obligations. 

(e) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by a Loan Party to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower
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. 

  
 72 








 (f) Each Lender and Issuing Bank shall, at such times as are reasonably requested by the Borrower
or the Administrative Agent, provide the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with any properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by Law, or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, certifying as to any
entitlement of such Lender or Issuing Bank to an exemption from, or reduction in, any withholding Tax with respect to any payments to be made to such Lender or Issuing Bank under the Loan Documents (including any documentation necessary to establish
an exemption from, or reduction of, any Taxes that may be imposed under FATCA). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding sentence, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set
forth in Section 2.18(f)(i) and 2.18(f)(ii)(1) through (4) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender or Issuing Bank
to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender or Issuing Bank. 

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing: 

(i) Each Lender or Issuing Bank that is a United States person (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall
deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement two properly completed and duly signed original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any successor form) certifying
that such Lender or Issuing Bank is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding. 
 (ii) Each Lender or Issuing Bank that is
not a United States person (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter when
required by Law or upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) whichever of the following is applicable: 

(1) two properly completed and duly signed original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or any successor forms)
claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States of America is a party; 
 (2) two
properly completed and duly signed original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or any successor forms); 
 (3)
in the case of a Lender or Issuing Bank claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (A) a properly completed and duly signed certificate, in substantially the form of Exhibit H (any such
certificate a “United States Tax Compliance Certificate”), or any other form approved by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, establishing that such Lender or Issuing Bank is not (x) a “bank” within the meaning of
Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (y) a “10 percent shareholder” of a Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (z) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in
Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code, and that no payments in connection with the Loan Documents are effectively connected with such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s conduct of a U.S. trade or business and (B) two properly completed and
duly signed original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or any successor forms); 
 (4) to the extent a Lender
or Issuing Bank is not the beneficial owner (for example, where the Lender or Issuing Bank is a partnership), Internal Revenue Service 

  
 73 








 
Form W-8IMY (or any successor forms) of the Lender or Issuing Bank, accompanied, to the extent required to obtain an exemption from or reduction of Tax, by a Form W-8ECI, W-8BEN, United States
Tax Compliance Certificate, Form W-9, Form W-8IMY, (or other successor forms) or any other required information from each beneficial owner, as applicable (provided that, if the Lender or Issuing Bank is a partnership and one or more beneficial
owners are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, the United States Tax Compliance Certificate shall be provided by such Lender or Issuing Bank on behalf of such beneficial owners); and/or 

(5) any other form prescribed by applicable Laws as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal
withholding Tax properly completed and duly signed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Laws to permit the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be
made. 
 (iii) The Administrative Agent shall deliver to Borrower, on or prior to the Effective Date (or on or prior to the
date of an assignment pursuant to which it becomes the Administrative Agent), and at such other times as may be necessary in the reasonable determination of Borrower, two duly executed copies of IRS Form W-9 or the relevant IRS Form W-8, as
applicable. 
 Each Lender and Issuing Bank shall, from time to time after the initial delivery by such Lender or Issuing Bank of the forms
described above, whenever a lapse in time or change in such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s circumstances renders such forms, certificates or other evidence so delivered expired, obsolete or inaccurate, promptly (i) deliver to the Borrower
and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) renewals, amendments or additional or successor forms, properly completed and duly executed by such Lender or Issuing Bank, together with any other
certificate or statement of exemption required in order to confirm or establish such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s status or that such Lender or Issuing Bank is entitled to an exemption from or reduction in U.S. federal withholding tax or
(ii) notify Administrative Agent and Borrower of its inability to deliver any such forms, certificates or other evidence. 

Notwithstanding any other provision of this clause (e), neither the Administrative Agent, nor any Lender or Issuing Bank, shall be required to
deliver any form pursuant to this clause (e) that the Administrative Agent or such Lender or Issuing Bank is not legally eligible to deliver. 

SECTION 2.19 Matters Applicable to All Requests for Compensation. 

(a) Any Agent or Lender claiming compensation under this Article II shall deliver a certificate to the Borrower setting forth the
additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder, which shall be conclusive absent manifest error. In determining such amount, such Agent or Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. With respect to any Lender’s
claim for compensation under Section 2.15, Section 2.16, Section 2.18 or Section 2.22, the Borrower shall not be required to compensate such Lender for any amount incurred more than 270 days prior to the date that such
Lender notifies the Borrower of the event that gives rise to such claim; provided that if the circumstance giving rise to such claim is retroactive, then such 270-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of
retroactive effect thereof. If any Lender requests compensation by the Borrower under Section 2.16, the Borrower may, by notice to such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), suspend the obligation of such Lender to make or continue
Eurodollar Rate Loans from one Interest Period to another, or to convert ABR Loans into Eurodollar Rate Loans, until the event or condition giving rise to such request ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions of Section 2.19(b)
shall be applicable); provided that such suspension shall not affect the right of such Lender to receive the compensation so requested. 

  
 74 








 (b) If the obligation of any Lender to make or continue any Eurodollar Rate Loan from one
Interest Period to another, or to convert ABR Loans into Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 2.19(a) hereof (but excluding Section 2.15), such Lender’s Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be automatically converted
into ABR Loans on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for such Eurodollar Rate Loans (or, in the case of an immediate conversion required by Section 2.22, on such earlier date as required by Law) and, unless and until such
Lender gives notice as provided below that the circumstances specified in Section 2.16, Section 2.18 or Section 2.22 hereof that gave rise to such conversion no longer exist: 

(i) to the extent that such Lender’s Eurodollar Rate Loans have been so converted, all payments and prepayments of
principal that would otherwise be applied to such Lender’s Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be applied instead to its ABR Loans; and 

(ii) all Loans that would otherwise be made or continued from one Interest Period to another by such Lender as Eurodollar Rate
Loans shall be made or continued instead as ABR Loans, and all ABR Loans of such Lender that would otherwise be converted into Eurodollar Rate Loans shall remain as ABR Loans. 

(c) If any Lender gives written notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) that the circumstances specified in
Section 2.16, Section 2.18 or Section 2.22 hereof that gave rise to the conversion of such Lender’s Eurodollar Rate Loans pursuant to this Section 2.19 no longer exist (which such Lender agrees to do promptly upon such
circumstances ceasing to exist) at a time when Eurodollar Rate Loans made by other Lenders are outstanding, such Lender’s ABR Loans shall be automatically converted to Eurodollar Rate Loans, on the first day(s) of the next succeeding Interest
Period(s) for such outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loans, to the extent necessary so that, after giving effect thereto, all Loans held by the Lenders holding Eurodollar Rate Loans and by such Lender are held pro rata (as to principal amounts, interest
rate basis, and Interest Periods) in accordance with their respective Commitments. 
 SECTION 2.20 Mitigation Obligations;
Replacement of Lenders. 
 (a) If at any time (i) any Lender requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.16
or Section 2.18 as a result of any condition described in such Sections or any Lender ceases to make Adjusted Eurodollar Rate Loans as a result of any condition described in Section 2.16 or Section 2.22, (ii) any Lender becomes a
Defaulting Lender or (iii) any Lender becomes a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Borrower may, on three Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and such Lender, replace such
Lender by requiring such Lender to (and such Lender shall be obligated to) assign pursuant to Section 9.04(b) (with no assignment fee to be paid by the Borrower or Lender in such instance) all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement
(or, with respect to clause (iii) above, all of its rights and obligations with respect to the Loans or Commitments that is the subject of the related consent, waiver or amendment) to one or more Eligible Assignees; provided that
neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to the Borrower to find a replacement Lender or other such Person; and provided further that (1) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim
for compensation under Section 2.16 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.18, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments and (2) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a
Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable Eligible Assignees shall have agreed to the applicable departure, waiver or amendment of the Loan Documents. 

  
 75 








 (b) Any Lender being replaced pursuant to Section 2.20(a) above shall (i) execute and
deliver an Assignment and Assumption with respect to such Lender’s Commitment and outstanding Loans and participations in L/C Obligations and Swingline Loans, as applicable, and (ii) deliver Notes, if any, evidencing such Loans to the
Borrower or Administrative Agent; provided, that if any Lender shall fail to execute and deliver such Assignment and Assumption within five Business Days of any request therefor, it shall be deemed executed and delivered on behalf of such
Lender. Pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption, (1) the assignee Lender shall acquire all or a portion, as the case may be, of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and outstanding Loans and participations in L/C Obligations and Swingline
Loans, as applicable, (2) all obligations of the Borrower owing to the assigning Lender relating to the Loans and participations so assigned shall be paid in full by the assignee Lender to such assigning Lender concurrently with such Assignment
and Assumption and (3) upon such payment and, if so requested by the assignee Lender, the assignor Lender shall deliver to the assignee Lender the appropriate Note or Notes executed by the Borrower, the assignee Lender shall become a Lender
hereunder and the assigning Lender shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder with respect to such assigned Loans, Commitments and participations, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement, which shall survive as to
such assigning Lender. 
 (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above, any Lender that acts as an Issuing Bank may not be
replaced hereunder at any time that it has any Letter of Credit outstanding hereunder unless arrangements reasonably satisfactory to such Issuing Bank (including the furnishing of a back-up standby letter of credit in form and substance, and issued
by an issuer reasonably satisfactory to such Issuing Bank, or the depositing of Cash Collateral into a Cash Collateral account in amounts and pursuant to arrangements reasonably satisfactory to such Issuing Bank) have been made with respect to each
such outstanding Letter of Credit and the Lender that acts as the Administrative Agent may not be replaced hereunder except in accordance with the terms of Section 8.06. 

(d) In the event that (i) the Borrower or the Administrative Agent has requested that the Lenders consent to a departure or waiver of any
provisions of the Loan Documents or agree to any amendment thereto, (ii) the consent, waiver or amendment in question requires the agreement of all affected Lenders in accordance with the terms of Section 9.02 or all the Lenders with
respect to the Loans and (iii) the Required Lenders, in the case of a consent, waiver or amendment requiring the consent of all the Lenders with respect to the Loans, or all affected Lenders other than the Non-Consenting Lender or
Non-Consenting Lenders, in the case of a consent, waiver or amendment requiring the consent of all affected Lenders, have agreed to such consent, waiver or amendment, then any Lender who does not agree to such consent, waiver or amendment shall be
deemed a “Non-Consenting Lender”. 
 SECTION 2.21 Defaulting Lenders.
Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender: 

(a) If there are any outstanding Swingline Loans or Letters of Credit at the time a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then: 

(i) all or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the aggregate Swingline Obligations and such Defaulting
Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the aggregate L/C Exposure shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitments (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving
Commitment), but only to the extent that (1) the conditions set forth in Section 4.01 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 

  
 76 








 
satisfied at such time) and (2) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Revolving Exposure of any non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving
Commitment (it being understood that such reallocation may be effected at a later time, at the mutual agreement of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Banks, if such conditions are satisfied at such later
time, it being understood that pending such reallocation, the Borrower shall not be relived of its obligation to comply with Section 2.21(a)(ii)); and 

(ii) If the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall
within five Business Days following notice by the Administrative Agent (1) first, prepay such Swingline Obligations and (2) second, Cash Collateralize 105% of such L/C Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation
pursuant to clause (i) above) for so long as such L/C Exposure is outstanding, unless the Swingline Lender and/or applicable Issuing Bank otherwise agrees; and 

(b) So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and no Issuing Bank
shall be required to issue any Letter of Credit, unless (i) the related exposure will be 100% covered by the Revolving Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or Cash Collateral will be provided by the Borrower in accordance with
Section 2.21(a) or (ii) the Swingline Lender and/or such Issuing Bank has otherwise entered into arrangements reasonably satisfactory to it and the Borrower to eliminate the Swingline Lender’s and/or such Issuing Bank’s, as
applicable, risk with respect to the participation in Swingline Loans and/or Letters of Credit, as applicable, by all such Defaulting Lenders, and participating interests in any such newly made Swingline Loans or newly issued Letters of Credit shall
be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.21(a)(i) (and Defaulting Lenders shall not participate therein); 

(c) Any amount payable to such Defaulting Lender hereunder (whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise and including any
amount that would otherwise be payable to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.13 but excluding Section 9.02(c)) shall, in lieu of being distributed to such Defaulting Lender, be retained by the Administrative Agent in a segregated
account and, subject to any applicable requirements of Law, be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent (i) first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative
Agent hereunder, (ii) second, pro rata, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender hereunder, (iii) third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent or requested
by an Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender, held in such account as Cash Collateral for future funding obligations of the Defaulting Lender in respect of any existing or future participating interest in any Swingline Loan or Letter of Credit,
(iv) fourth, 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, (v) fifth, if so determined
by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, held in such account as Cash Collateral for future funding obligations of the Defaulting Lender in respect of any Loans under this Agreement, (vi) sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing
to the Lenders or a Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or such Letter of Credit Issuer or Swingline Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such
Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement, (vii) seventh, 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, and (viii) eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction,
provided, with respect to this clause (viii), that if such payment is (1) a prepayment of the principal amount of any Loans or reimbursement obligations in respect of L/C Credit Extensions which a


  
 77 








 
Defaulting Lender has funded its participation obligations and (2) made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.01 are satisfied, such payment shall be applied solely to
prepay the Loans of, and reimbursement obligations owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders pro rata prior to being applied to the prepayment of any Loans, or reimbursement obligations owed to, any Defaulting Lender; 

(d) In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Borrower, the Issuing Banks and the Swingline Lender each agrees that a Defaulting Lender
has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Swingline Obligations and L/C Exposure of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Commitment and on such date such
Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders (other than Swingline Loans) as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Pro Rata Share; and 

(e) 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. 

SECTION 2.22 Illegality. 

(a) If any Lender reasonably determines that any Change in Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it
is unlawful, for any Lender or its Applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Eurodollar Rate Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, then, on written notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower
through the Administrative Agent, in respect of Eurodollar Rate Loans, (i) any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurodollar Rate Loans or to convert ABR Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies
the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist, (ii) upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall upon written demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative
Agent), convert all Eurodollar Rate Loans of such Lender to ABR Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans to such day, or promptly, if such Lender may
not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans, and (iii) upon any such conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted and all amounts due, if any, in connection with such prepayment
or conversion under Section 2.17. Each Lender agrees to designate a different Applicable Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for any such notice and will not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, otherwise be
disadvantageous to such Lender. 
 (b) If any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents would obligate the Borrower to
make any payment of interest with respect to any of the Loans or Commitments or other amount payable to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in an amount or calculated at a rate which would be prohibited by any Law then, notwithstanding such
provision, such amount or rates shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by any applicable Law or so result in a receipt by the
Administrative Agent or such Lender of interest with respect to its Loans and Commitments at a criminal rate, such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary, as follows: 

(i) first, by reducing the amount or rate of interest required to be paid to the Administrative Agent or the affected
Lender under Section 2.07; and 
 (ii) thereafter, by reducing any fees, commissions, premiums and other amounts
required to be paid to the Administrative Agent or the affected Lender which would constitute interest with respect to the Loans or Commitments for purposes of any applicable Law. 

  
 78

SECTION 7.02 Remedies Upon Event of Default. If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Administrative Agent may and,
at the request of the Required Lenders, shall take any or all of the following actions: 
 (a) declare the commitment of each Lender to make
Loans and any obligation of the Issuing Banks make L/C Credit Extensions to be terminated, whereupon such commitments and obligations shall be terminated; 

(b) declare the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Loans, all interest accrued and unpaid thereon, and all other amounts owing or
payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document to be immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower; 

(c) require that the Borrower Cash Collateralize the Letter of Credit obligations (in an amount equal to 105% of the then Outstanding Amount
thereof); and 
 (d) exercise on behalf of itself and the Lenders all rights and remedies available to it and the Lenders under the Loan
Documents or applicable Law; 
 provided that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under Sections 7.01(h) and (i) with respect to the
Borrower, the obligation of each Lender to make Loans and any obligation of the Issuing Banks to make L/C Credit Extensions shall automatically terminate, the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Loans and all interest and other amounts as
aforesaid shall automatically become due and payable, and the obligation of the Borrower to Cash Collateralize the Letter of Credit obligations as aforesaid shall automatically become effective, in each case without further act of the Administrative
Agent or any Lender. 
 SECTION 7.03 Application of Funds. After the exercise of remedies provided for in Section 7.02 (or
after the Loans have automatically become immediately due and payable and the Letter of Credit obligations have automatically been required to be Cash Collateralized as set forth in the proviso to Section 7.02), including in any Insolvency
Proceeding, any amounts received on account of the Obligations shall be applied by the Administrative Agent in the following order: 

First, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts (other than principal
and interest, but including all reasonable fees, out-of-pocket expenses and actual disbursements of legal counsel) payable to the Administrative Agent and the Co-Collateral Agents in their capacity as such; 

Second, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities and other amounts (other than (i) principal
and interest and (ii) in connection with Secured Hedge Agreements or Cash Management Documents) payable to the Lenders (including all reasonable fees, out-of-pocket expenses and actual disbursements of legal counsel under Section 9.03 and
amounts payable under Section 2.17), ratably among them in proportion to the amounts described in this clause Second payable to them; 

  
 111 








 Third, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid
interest (including, but not limited to, post-petition interest but other than in connection with Secured Hedge Agreements and Cash Management Documents), ratably among the Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts described in this
clause Third payable to them; 
 Fourth, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting unpaid principal of Loans
and amounts due and payable to Hedge Banks under one or more Secured Hedge Agreements and Obligations owing under or in respect of Cash Management Documents (solely to the extent a Reserve has been established with respect to such Obligations under
Secured Hedge Agreements and Cash Management Documents), and ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such Obligations owing to the Lenders and the other Secured Parties on such date; 

Fifth, to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Banks, to Cash Collateralize that portion of Letter of Credit
obligations comprised of the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit; 
 Sixth, to the payment of all other Obligations of the
Loan Parties that are due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties on such date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such Obligations owing to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties
on such date (excluding any remaining Obligations owing under or in respect of Cash Management Documents and Secured Hedge Agreements); 

Seventh, to the payment of all remaining Obligations of the Loan Parties owing under or in respect of Cash Management Documents and
Secured Hedge Agreements that are then due and payable to the Cash Management Banks and Hedge Banks, as applicable, ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such Obligations owing to such Cash Management Banks and Hedge Banks; and

 Last, the balance, if any, after all of the Obligations have been paid in full, to the Borrower or as otherwise required by Law.

 Subject to Section 2.03(c), amounts used to Cash Collateralize the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit pursuant to
clause Fifth above shall be applied to satisfy drawings under such Letters of Credit as they occur. If any amount remains on deposit as Cash Collateral after all Letters of Credit have either been fully drawn or expired, such remaining amount
shall be applied to the other Obligations, if any, in the order set forth above and, if no Obligations remain outstanding, to the Borrower.

(a) Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks hereby irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes Royal Bank of Canada to act on its behalf
as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or
thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, and the Borrower shall not have rights as
a third party beneficiary of, or any obligations under, any of such provisions except for its consent rights set forth in Section 8.06. 

  
 112 








 (b) The Administrative Agent shall also act as the “collateral agent” under the Loan
Documents, and each of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks, a potential Hedge Bank and Cash Management Bank hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the agent of (and to hold any security interest, charge or other
Lien created by the Security Documents for and on behalf of or on trust for) such Lender, Issuing Bank, potential Hedge Bank and Cash Management Bank for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of
the Loan Parties to secure any of the Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In this connection, the Administrative Agent, as “collateral agent” and any co-agents, sub-agents and
attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 8.05 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Security Documents, or for exercising any rights and
remedies thereunder at the direction of the Administrative Agent, shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article VIII and Article IX (including Section 9.03 as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were
the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto. 
 SECTION 8.02
Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and
the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its
Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were
not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders. 
 SECTION 8.03 Exculpatory
Provisions. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties, responsibilities, functions, obligations or liabilities except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
the Administrative Agent: 
 (a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied (or express) duties or obligations, regardless of
whether a Default has occurred and is continuing; 
 (b) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any
discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or
percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents); provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may
expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Law; 
 (c) shall not, except as
expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower, any Loan Party or any of their respective Affiliates that is
communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity; 
 (d) shall not be
liable to any Lender for any action taken or not taken by it under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as
determined by the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein or therein); 

  
 113 








 (e) shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any
statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or
therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness
of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Security Documents, (v) the value or the sufficiency of any
Collateral, or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent; and 

(f) shall not be under any obligation to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof. 

Each Issuing Bank shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and each such
Issuing Bank shall have all of the benefits and immunities (i) provided to the Agents in this Article VIII with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by such Issuing Bank in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or
proposed to be issued by it and the applications and agreements for letters of credit pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Agent” as used in this Article VIII and its Affiliates included such Issuing Bank with
respect to such acts or omissions, and (ii) as additionally provided herein with respect to such Issuing Bank. 
 SECTION 8.04
Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing
(including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon
any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the
issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or an Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or such Issuing Bank unless the
Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or such Issuing Bank prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be
counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. 

SECTION 8.05 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and
powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and
powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective
activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent. 

SECTION 8.06 Resignation of Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time upon 30 days’ notice to the
Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the Borrower’s consent 

  
 114 








 
(such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) (provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default under Section 7.01(a), 7.01(b), 7.01(h) or
7.01(i) has occurred and is continuing), to appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives
notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be an Approved Bank with an office in the United States, or any Affiliate of
any such Approved Bank; provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with
such notice and (a) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on
behalf of the Lenders or the Issuing Banks under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent may in its discretion continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and
(b) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and the Issuing Banks directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a
successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers,
privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged
therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the
retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and
their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent. 

SECTION 8.07 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender and Issuing Bank acknowledges that it has,
independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis, appraisals and decision to
enter into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and
the other Loan Parties. Each Lender and Issuing Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as
it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

 SECTION 8.08 No Other Duties, Etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, neither the Lead Arrangers, the
Syndication Agent, the Documentation Agent, the Lenders nor any Person named on the cover page hereof as a bookrunner shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to all
Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Lenders or other Persons so identified shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on
any of the Lenders or other Persons so identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder. 

  
 115 








 SECTION 8.09 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency
of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or outstanding Letter of Credit shall then be due and payable as
herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise: 

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C Obligations and
all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Administrative Agent under
Sections 2.12 and 9.03) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and 
 (b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or
deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; 
 and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar
official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and Issuing Bank to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, if the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and
the Issuing Banks, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent
under Sections 2.12 and 9.03 or otherwise hereunder. 
 Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent
to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender or Issuing Bank any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or Issuing Bank to authorize the
Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender or Issuing Bank or in any such proceeding. 
 SECTION 8.10
Release of Collateral and Guarantee. The Lenders (including in their capacities as Hedge Banks and Cash Management Banks) and each Issuing Bank irrevocably agree and authorize the Administrative Agent: 

(a) to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon termination of
the Commitments and payment in full in cash of all Obligations and all other amounts payable under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents (other than to the extent a claim has been made therefor, contingent indemnification and contingent
expense reimbursement obligations and any Obligations in respect of Secured Hedge Agreements or Cash Management Obligations unless provided otherwise under the terms of any such Secured Hedge Agreements or Cash Management Documents) and the
expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit (unless the Letters of Credit in the Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations related thereto have been Cash Collateralized up to 105% of such Outstanding Amounts or if a backstop letter of
credit reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank is in place) (the date upon which the conditions in this Section 8.10(a)(i) shall have been satisfied, the “Termination Date”), (ii) upon any permitted sale,
lease, transfer or other Disposition of any item of Collateral of any Loan Party in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, as a result of the sale, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, of the
Loan Party that owns such Collateral), (iii) subject to Section 9.02, if the 

  
 116 








 
release of such Lien is approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders, or (iv) if the property subject to such Lien is owned by a Guarantor, upon release of such
Guarantor from its obligations under its Guarantee pursuant to clause (b) below; 
 (b) to release any Guarantor from its obligations
under its Guarantee upon (i) in the case of any Subsidiary, such Person ceasing to be subject to the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement and Section 6.10 as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder (as certified by a Responsible
Officer) and the Borrower notifying the Administrative Agent in writing that it wishes such Guarantor to be released from its obligations under its Guarantee, (ii) in the case of any Subsidiary (other than the Borrower), such Subsidiary ceasing
to be a Material Subsidiary or (iii) the Termination Date; and 
 (c) to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the
Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Sections 6.02(d). 
 Upon
request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Agents’ authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its
obligations under the Guarantee pursuant to this Section 8.10. In each case as specified in this Section 8.10, the relevant Agent will promptly (and each Lender irrevocably authorizes the Agents to) at the Borrower’s expense, execute
and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence the release or subordination of such item of Collateral pursuant to this Section 8.10 from the assignment and security interest
granted under the Security Documents (or the release of the Guarantor from its Guarantee of the Obligations) in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents (provided that the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent a
certificate of a Responsible Officer certifying that such transaction has been consummated in compliance with the Loan Documents). 

SECTION 8.11 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies; Enforcement. No failure by any Lender, any Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent
to exercise, and no delay by any such Person in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or
privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided, and provided under each other Loan Document, are
cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by Law. 
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents against the Loan Parties or any of them shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at Law
in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the Administrative Agent in accordance with Article VII for the benefit of all the Lenders and the Issuing Banks; provided, however, that the
foregoing shall not prohibit (a) the Administrative Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents,
(b) the Issuing Banks from exercising the rights and remedies that inure to their benefit hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (c) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 9.08 (subject to the terms
of Section 2.18), or (d) any Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to any Loan Party under any Debtor Relief Law; and provided,
further, that if at any time there is no Person acting as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, then (i) the Required Lenders shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to the Administrative Agent pursuant to
Article VII and (ii) in addition to the matters 

  
 117 








 
set forth in clauses (b), (c) and (d) of the preceding proviso and subject to Section 2.18, any Lender may, with the consent of the Required Lenders, enforce any rights and
remedies available to it and as authorized by the Required Lenders. 
 SECTION 8.12 Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent
shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default, except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, unless
the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. The Administrative Agent will promptly
notify the Lenders of its receipt of any such notice. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to any Event of Default as may be directed by the Required Lenders in accordance with Article VIII; provided that unless
and until the Administrative Agent has received any such direction, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Event of Default as it shall deem advisable
or in the best interest of the Lenders. 
 SECTION 8.13 Appointment of Supplemental Administrative Agents. 

(a) It is the purpose of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that there shall be no violation of any Law of any jurisdiction denying
or restricting the right of banking corporations or associations to transact business as agent or trustee in such jurisdiction. It is recognized that in case of litigation under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and in particular in
case of the enforcement of any of the Loan Documents, or in case the Administrative Agent deems that by reason of any present or future Law of any jurisdiction it may not exercise any of the rights, powers or remedies granted herein or in any of the
other Loan Documents or take any other action which may be desirable or necessary in connection therewith, the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to appoint an additional individual or institution selected by the Administrative Agent in its
sole discretion as a separate trustee, co-trustee, administrative agent, collateral agent, administrative sub-agent or administrative co-agent (any such additional individual or institution being referred to herein individually as a
“Supplemental Administrative Agent” and collectively as “Supplemental Administrative Agents”). 
 (b) In
the event that the Administrative Agent appoints a Supplemental Administrative Agent with respect to any Collateral, (i) each and every right, power, privilege or duty expressed or intended by this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents
to be exercised by or vested in or conveyed to the Administrative Agent with respect to such Collateral shall be exercisable by and vest in such Supplemental Administrative Agent to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to enable such
Supplemental Administrative Agent to exercise such rights, powers and privileges with respect to such Collateral and to perform such duties with respect to such Collateral, and every covenant and obligation contained in the Loan Documents and
necessary to the exercise or performance thereof by such Supplemental Administrative Agent shall run to and be enforceable by either the Administrative Agent or such Supplemental Administrative Agent, and (ii) the provisions of this
Article VIII and of Section 9.03 that refer to the Administrative Agent shall inure to the benefit of such Supplemental Administrative Agent and all references therein to the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to be references to the
Administrative Agent and/or such Supplemental Administrative Agent, as the context may require. 
 (c) Should any instrument in writing from
any Loan Party be required by any Supplemental Administrative Agent so appointed by the Administrative Agent for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to him or it such rights, powers, privileges and duties, the Borrower shall, or shall
cause such Loan Party to, execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all such instruments promptly upon request by the Administrative Agent. In case any Supplemental Administrative Agent, or a successor thereto, shall die, become incapable of acting,
resign or be removed, all the rights, powers, 

  
 118 








 
privileges and duties of such Supplemental Administrative Agent, to the extent permitted by Law, shall vest in and be exercised by the Administrative Agent until the appointment of a new
Supplemental Administrative Agent. 
 SECTION 8.14 Withholding Tax. To the extent required by any applicable Laws, the Agents
may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. Without limiting or expanding the provisions of Section 2.18, each Lender shall indemnify and hold harmless the Agents against, within ten days
after written demand therefor, any and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities and expenses (including fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Agents) incurred by or asserted against the Agents as a result of the
failure of the Agents to properly withhold any Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of such Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, because the appropriate form was not delivered or not properly executed, or because such Lender
failed to notify the Agents of a change in circumstance that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of withholding Tax ineffective). A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Agents shall be
conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Agents to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due the Agents under this
Section 8.14. The agreements in this Section 8.14 shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Agents, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment,
satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations. 
 SECTION 8.15 Indemnification of Agents. Whether or not the transactions
contemplated hereby are consummated, the Lenders shall indemnify upon demand each Agent Party (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of any Loan Party and without limiting the obligation of any Loan Party to do so), pro rata, and hold
harmless each Agent Party from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities to the extent incurred by it; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to any Agent Party of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities to the
extent resulting from such Agent Party’s own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct, as determined by the final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that no action taken in accordance with the
directions of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be required by the Loan Documents) shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section 8.15.
In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any Indemnified Liabilities, this Section 8.15 applies whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Lender or any other Person. Without
limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the Administrative Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including costs of counsel) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the
preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other
Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrower; provided that such reimbursement by the Lenders shall not
affect the Borrower’s continuing reimbursement obligations with respect thereto, if any. The undertaking in this Section 8.15 shall survive termination of the Commitments, the payment of all other Obligations and the resignation of the
Administrative Agent. 
 SECTION 8.16 Cash Management Obligations; Secured Hedge Agreements. Except as otherwise expressly set
forth herein or in any Security Document, no Hedge Bank or Cash Management Bank that obtains the benefits of Section 7.03, any Guarantee or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof or of any Security Document shall have any right to
notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral) other than in its capacity as a Lender
and, in such 

  
 119 








 
case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article VIII to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to
verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Obligations arising under Secured Hedge Agreements or Cash Management Documents unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice of such
Obligations, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, from the applicable Hedge Bank or Cash Management Bank. 

SECTION 8.17 Intercreditor Agreement. The Administrative Agent is authorized to enter into the Intercreditor Agreement, and the
parties hereto acknowledge that the Intercreditor Agreement is binding upon them. Each Lender (a) hereby consents to the subordination of the Liens on the Collateral securing the Obligations on the terms set forth in the Intercreditor
Agreement, (b) hereby agrees that it will be bound by the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement as if it were a signatory thereto and will take no actions contrary to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement, (c) hereby authorizes
and instructs the Administrative Agent to enter into the Intercreditor Agreement and to subject the Liens on the Collateral securing the Obligations to the provisions thereof, in each case, on behalf of such Lender and to take all actions (and
execute all documents) required (or deemed advisable) by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, in each case, and without any further consent, authorization or other action by such Lender,
(d) hereby agrees that no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent as a result of any action taken by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section or in accordance with the terms of the
Intercreditor Agreement and (e) acknowledges that a copy of the Intercreditor Agreement has been delivered, or made available, to such Lender. The foregoing provisions are intended as an inducement to the Secured Parties to extend credit to the
Borrower and such Secured Parties are intended third-party beneficiaries of such provisions and the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement. 

SECTION 8.18 Co-Collateral Agents. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, all
determinations of the Co-Collateral Agents under the Loan Documents shall be made jointly by the Co-Collateral Agents; provided that, in the event that the Co-Collateral Agents cannot agree on any matter to be determined by the Co-Collateral
Agents, the determination shall be made by the individual Co-Collateral Agent asserting the most conservative credit judgment or declining to permit the requested action for which consent is being sought by the applicable Loan Party. This provision
shall be binding upon any successor to a Co-Collateral Agent. 
 (b) Any Co-Collateral Agent may resign at any time upon 30 days’
notice to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the Borrower’s consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) (provided that no
consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default under Section 7.01(a), 7.01(b), 7.01(h) or 7.01(i) has occurred and is continuing), to appoint a successor for such resigning Co-Collateral Agent; provided that within 10
days of receipt of such resignation notice, SunTrust Bank may request in writing to the Lenders and the Borrower that it be appointed as such successor Co-Collateral Agent, and upon receipt of such request, subject to the reasonable consent of the
Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) (provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default under Section 7.01(a), 7.01(b), 7.01(h) or 7.01(i) has occurred and is continuing),
SunTrust Bank shall be deemed to be appointed as such successor Co-Collateral Agent. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring
Co-Collateral Agent gives notice of its resignation, then (x) if a Person is then acting as a Co-Collateral Agent, then such Person shall act as the sole-Collateral Agent until a successor Co-Collateral Agent is so appointed, and (y) if no
Person is then acting as a Co-Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent shall act as the sole Co-Collateral Agent until a successor Co-Collateral Agent is so appointed. If a retiring Co-Collateral Agent shall notify the Borrower and the


  
 120 








 
Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and the retiring Co-Collateral Agent shall
be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as a Co-Collateral Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the
rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Co-Collateral Agent, and the retiring Co-Collateral Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already
discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). 
 ARTICLE IX 

Miscellaneous 

SECTION 9.01 Notices. 

(a) Except in the case of notices and other communications expressly permitted to be given by telephone, all notices and other communications
provided for herein shall be in writing and shall be delivered by hand or nationally-recognized overnight courier service, mailed by certified mail (return receipt requested) or sent by fax or other electronic transmission, as follows: 

(i) if to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Co-Collateral Agents or Royal Bank of Canada, in its capacity as
Swingline Lender and/or Issuing Bank, to the address, fax number, e-mail address or telephone number specified for such Person on Schedule 9.01; and 

(ii) if to any other Lender or Issuing Bank, to it at its address (or fax number, telephone number or e-mail address) set forth
in its Administrative Questionnaire (including, as appropriate, notices delivered solely to the Person designated by a Lender on its Administrative Questionnaire then in effect for the delivery of notices that may contain material non-public
information relating to the Borrower). 
 Notices and other communications sent by hand or overnight courier service, or mailed by certified
mail, shall be deemed to have been given when received; notices and other communications sent by telecopier shall be deemed to have been given when sent (except that, if not given during normal business hours for the recipient, shall be deemed to
have been given at the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient). Notices and other communications delivered through electronic communications to the extent provided in subsection (b) below shall be effective as provided
in such subsection (b). 
 (b) Electronic Communications. Notices and other communications to the Lenders and Issuing Banks hereunder
may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including e-mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures reasonably approved by the Administrative Agent, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to
any Lender or Issuing Bank pursuant to Article II if such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, has notified the Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Article by electronic communication. 

Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed
received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement), provided that if such
notice or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next Business Day for


  
 121 








 
the recipient, and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address
as described in the foregoing clause (i) of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor. 

(c) The Platform. THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” THE AGENT PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT
WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS IN OR OMISSIONS FROM THE BORROWER MATERIALS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY,
INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY ANY AGENT PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE PLATFORM.
In no event shall the Administrative Agent, the Co-Collateral Agents or any of their respective Related Parties (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to the Borrower, any Lender, any Issuing Bank or any other Person
for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the Borrower’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of Borrower Materials through the Internet, except to the
extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent Party;
provided, however, that in no event shall any Agent Party have any liability to the Borrower, any Lender, any Issuing Bank or any other Person for indirect, special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct
or actual damages). 
 (d) Change of Address, Etc. Each of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Bank may change
its address, electronic mail address, fax or telephone number for notices and other communications or website hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto. Each other Lender may change its address, fax or telephone number for notices and other
communications hereunder by notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. In addition, each Lender and each Issuing Bank agrees to notify the Administrative Agent from time to time to ensure that the Administrative Agent has on record
(i) an effective address, contact name, telephone number, fax number and electronic mail address to which notices and other communications may be sent and (ii) accurate wire instructions for such Lender. 

(e) Reliance by Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank and Lenders. The Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders shall be
entitled to rely and act upon any notices purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower even if (i) such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice
specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof. The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Lender from all losses, costs, expenses and
liabilities resulting from the reliance by such Person on each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined in a final and non-appealable judgment by a court of
competent jurisdiction. All telephonic notices to and other telephonic communications with the Administrative Agent may be recorded by the Administrative Agent and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording. 

SECTION 9.02 Waivers; Amendments. 

(a) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power under this Agreement or
any Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or 

  
 122 








 
discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative
Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any Loan Document or
consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for
the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the
Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time. No notice or demand on the Borrower in any case shall entitle the Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or
other circumstances. 
 (b) Neither this Agreement, any Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified
except, in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders (or the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders) or, in the case of any other Loan
Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Administrative Agent and the Loan Party or Loan Parties that are parties thereto, in each case with the consent of the Required Lenders, and then such waiver or consent
shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided that no such agreement shall: 

(i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender; 

(ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or L/C Advance or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees or
premiums payable hereunder or under the Loan Documents, without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby (it being understood that any change to the definition of “Average Availability” or “Average
Revolver Usage” or in the component definitions thereof shall not constitute a reduction of interest or fees), provided that only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary to waive any obligation of the Borrower to pay
default interest pursuant to Section 2.07(b); 
 (iii) postpone the maturity of any Loan, or the reimbursement date with
respect to any L/C Advance, or any date for the payment of any interest or fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent
of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby; 
 (iv) change Section 2.13 in a manner that would alter the pro
rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby; 

(v) change any of the provisions of this Section 9.02 without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely
affected thereby; 
 (vi) change the percentage set forth in the definition of “Required Lenders” or
“Supermajority Lenders” or any other provision of any Loan Document specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent thereunder, without
the written consent of each Lender; 

  
 123 








 (vii) release all or substantially all the value of the Guarantees under the
Guarantee Agreement without the written consent of each Lender; 
 (viii) release or subordinate all or substantially all the
Collateral from the Liens of the Security Documents, without the written consent of each Lender; 
 (ix) change any of the
provisions of Section 6.12 and 7.03 without the prior written consent of the Supermajority Lenders; or 
 (x) change the
definition of “Borrowing Base”, or any component definition thereof (including the definitions of “Eligible Receivables”, “Eligible Equipment”, or “Eligible Inventory”), the effect of which would be to
increase amounts available to be borrowed, (other than changes in Reserves implemented by the Co-Collateral Agents in their Permitted Discretion), without the prior written consent of the Supermajority Lenders. 

provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent, any
Co-Collateral Agent, the Swingline Lender or any Issuing Bank without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, such Co-Collateral Agent, such Swingline Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be. This Agreement or any other Loan
Document may be amended, if such amendment is not objected to in writing by the Lenders within five Business Days following receipt of notice thereof, by an agreement in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to cure any
ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency or actual or perceived illegality or unenforceability of any provision in any jurisdiction or with respect to any Loan Party. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 9.02 to the contrary,
(1) the Fee Letter may be amended or modified, or rights or privileges thereunder waived, in a writing executed only by the parties thereto and (2) without the consent of any Lender or Issuing Bank, the Loan Parties, the Administrative
Agent and Co-Collateral Agents or any co-collateral agent may (in their respective sole discretion, or shall, to the extent required by any Loan Document) enter into any amendment, modification or waiver of any Loan Document, or enter into any new
agreement or instrument, to effect the granting, perfection, protection, expansion or enhancement of any security interest in any Collateral or additional property to become Collateral for the benefit of the Secured Parties or as required by local
law to give effect to, or protect any security interest for benefit of the Secured Parties, in any property or so that the security interests therein comply with applicable Laws or this Agreement or in each case to otherwise enhance the rights or
benefits of any Lender under any Loan Document. The Administrative Agent shall make available to the Lenders copies of each amendment or other modification to this Agreement. 

(c) In connection with any proposed amendment, modification, waiver or termination (a “Proposed Change”) requiring the
consent of all Lenders or all directly and adversely affected Lenders, if the consent of the Required Lenders to such Proposed Change is obtained, but the consent to such Proposed Change of other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained
(any such Lender whose consent is not obtained as described in paragraph (b) of this Section being referred to as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then, so long as the Lender that is acting as Administrative Agent is not a
Non-Consenting Lender, the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Non-Consenting Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Non-Consenting Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and
subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which Eligible Assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender
accepts such assignment), 

  
 124 








 
provided that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent to the extent such consent would be required under Section 9.04(b) for an
assignment of Loans or Commitments, as applicable (and, if a Revolving Commitment is being assigned, each Issuing Bank), which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Non-Consenting Lender shall have received payment of an amount
equal to the outstanding par principal amount of its Loans and participations in L/C Advances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder (including pursuant to Section 2.11(a)(i)) from the Eligible
Assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) unless waived, the Borrower or such Eligible Assignee shall have paid to the Administrative Agent
the processing and recordation fee specified in Section 9.04(b)(i). 
 (d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents to the contrary, the Revolving Commitments and Revolving Exposure of any Lender that is at the time a Defaulting Lender shall not have any voting or approval rights under the Loan Documents and shall be excluded in determining whether all
Lenders, all affected Lenders, the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to this Section 9.02); provided that (i) the Commitment of any Defaulting
Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender and (ii) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that affects any Defaulting Lender more adversely than other
affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender. 
 SECTION 9.03 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver. 

(a) The Borrower shall pay (i) before, on or after the Effective Date, all reasonable and documented
out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates (without duplication), the Lead Arrangers, the Syndication Agent, the Swingline
Lender and each Issuing Bank including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of one counsel to the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arrangers, the Swingline Lender and each Issuing Bank and to the extent reasonably deemed necessary by the
Administrative Agent, one counsel to the Co-Collateral Agent which is not the Administrative Agent, one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction and, in the case of any conflict of interest (as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent,
Swingline Lender, Issuing Bank or Lead Arrangers subject to such conflict), and to the extent reasonably necessary, one additional counsel in each relevant jurisdiction to each group of affected persons similarly situated taken as a whole and
counsel otherwise retained with the Borrower’s consent), in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, and the preparation, execution, delivery and administration of the Loan Documents or any amendments,
modifications or waivers of the provisions thereof, (ii) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by each Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or
extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder and (iii) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arrangers, the Syndication Agent, each Issuing Bank and each
Lender, including the fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, the Lenders, and the Lead Arrangers in connection with the enforcement or protection of any rights or remedies (1) in connection
with the Loan Documents (including all such costs and expenses incurred during any legal proceeding, including any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws), including its rights under this Section 9.03 or (2) in connection with the Loans
made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder or any other Obligations, including all such reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in
respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit. The agreements in this Section 9.03(a) shall survive the termination of the Commitments and repayment of all other Obligations. If any Loan Party fails to pay when due any costs, expenses or other
amounts payable by it hereunder or under any Loan Document, such amount may be paid on behalf of such Loan Party by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion. 

  
 125 








 (b) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Co-Collateral Agent each Issuing
Bank, each Lender, the Lead Arrangers and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages,
liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of counsel, of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any of their
respective Affiliates, creditors or shareholders, arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance or administration of this Agreement, any Loan Document or any other agreement or
instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties to the Loan Documents of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated thereby, (ii) any
Commitment, Loan or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by the Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do
not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or Release of Hazardous Materials on, at, to or from any Mortgaged Property or any other property currently or formerly owned or operated by the
Borrower or any Subsidiary, or any other Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower or any Subsidiary, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether
based on contract, tort or any other theory (including any investigation of, preparation for, or defense of any pending or threatened claim, investigation, litigation or proceeding), (any of the foregoing described in this clause (iv), a
“Proceeding”) all the foregoing described in clauses (i) to (iv), collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”), in all cases, whether or not caused by or arising, in whole or in part, out of the negligence of
the Indemnitee and whether brought by an Indemnitee, a third party or by the Borrower or any other Loan Party (or any equity holder, director, shareholder, creditor or Affiliate of any of the foregoing), and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a
party thereto and whether or not any of the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs or
related expenses (1) resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment), or (2) resulted from a material breach
of the Loan Documents by such Indemnitee (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment). For the avoidance of doubt, this paragraph (b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes (other than any Taxes
that represent losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind arising from any non-Tax claim) that are imposed with respect to any payments of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document, which shall be governed solely by
Section 2.18, or with respect to Other Taxes, which are the subject of, and which shall be governed by, Section 2.18. 
 (c) To
the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent, any Co-Collateral Agent, Swingline Lender or any Issuing Bank under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender (or, in the
case of a payment to an Issuing Bank, each Revolving Lender) severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the
applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount, provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted
against the Administrative Agent, any Co-Collateral Agent, Swingline Lender or such Issuing Bank in its capacity as such. For purposes hereof, a Lender’s “pro rata share” shall be determined based upon its share of the aggregate
Revolving Exposures and unused Commitments at such time (or, in the case of a payment to an Issuing Bank, its share of the aggregate Revolving Exposures only). The obligations of the Lenders under this paragraph (c) are subject to the last
sentence of Section 2.02(f) (which shall apply mutatis mutandis to the Lenders’ obligations under this paragraph (c)). 

  
 126 








 (d) To the extent permitted by applicable Laws, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives,
any claim against any Indemnitee (i) for any direct or actual damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of information or other materials distributed to such unintended recipients by such Indemnitee through telecommunications,
electronic or other information transmission systems (including the Internet) in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any
Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such direct or actual damages are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final, non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of, or a
material breach of the Loan Documents by, such Indemnitee or (ii) on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan
Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof. 

(e) All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than five Business Days after written demand therefor; provided,
however, that any Indemnitee shall promptly refund an indemnification payment received hereunder to the extent that there is a final judicial determination that such Indemnitee was not entitled to indemnification with respect to such payment
pursuant to this Section 9.03. The agreements in this Section 9.03 shall survive the resignation of any Agent, the replacement of any Lender or any Issuing Bank, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or
discharge of all the other Obligations. 
 (f) The Borrower shall not be liable for any settlement of any Proceedings effected without its
consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), but if settled with its consent or if there is a final judgment for the plaintiff in such Proceedings, the Borrower will indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee from and
against any Indemnified Liabilities in accordance with the foregoing clause (b). The Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of an Indemnitee (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), effect any settlement or
consent to the entry of any judgment of any pending or threatened Proceedings in respect of which indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnitee unless (i) such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnitee in
form and substance satisfactory to such Indemnitee from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceedings, (ii) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on
behalf of any Indemnitee and (iii) contains customary confidentiality and non-disparagement provisions. 
 (g) In the event that an
Indemnitee is requested or required to appear as a witness in any action brought by or on behalf of or against the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates in which such Indemnitee is not named as a defendant, the Borrower shall reimburse
such Indemnitee for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by it in connection with such Indemnitee’s appearing and preparing to appear as such a witness, including without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of
its legal counsel. 
 SECTION 9.04 Successors and Assigns. 

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and
assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder or under the other Loan
Documents without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void), (ii) no assignment shall be made to any Defaulting Lender or any of its
Subsidiaries, or any Persons who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of 

  
 127 








 
the foregoing Persons described in this clause (ii) and (iii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section.
Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of the Issuing Bank that issues any
Letter of Credit), Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section), the Indemnitees and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and the
Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. 
 (b) Subject to the conditions set forth in
paragraph (b)(ii), any Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans, including for purposes of this
Section 9.04(b), participations in L/C Obligations) at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of (1) the Borrower; provided that no consent of the Borrower
shall be required for an assignment by a Revolving Lender to any other Revolving Lender or an Affiliate of a Revolving Lender or an Approved Fund of a Revolving Lender or if a Default has occurred and is continuing, (2) the Administrative Agent
(such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment by a Revolving Lender to any other Revolving Lender or an Affiliate of a Revolving Lender or
an Approved Fund of a Revolving Lender and (3) solely in the case of Revolving Loans and Revolving Commitments, the Swingline Lender and each Issuing Bank (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Notwithstanding anything in
this Section 9.04 to the contrary, if the Borrower has not given the Administrative Agent written notice of its objection to such assignment within five Business Days after written notice to the Borrower requesting such consent, the Borrower
shall be deemed to have consented to such assignment. 
 (i) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional
conditions: (1) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans, the amount of the Commitment or
Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the trade date specified in the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment or, if no trade date is so specified, as of the date the Assignment and
Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $2,500,000 (and integral multiples thereof) in the case of Revolving Loans and Revolving Commitments, unless the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent otherwise consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (2) the parties to
each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together (unless waived by the Administrative Agent) with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; provided that the Administrative Agent,
in its sole discretion, may elect to waive such processing and recordation fee; provided further that assignments made pursuant to Section 2.20(b) or Section 9.02(c) shall not require the signature of the assigning Lender to
become effective, (3) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower any tax forms required by Section 2.18(f) and an Administrative Questionnaire in which the assignee designates one
or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public information about the Borrower, the Loan Parties and their Related Parties or their respective securities) will be made available and who may
receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable Laws, including Federal and state securities laws and 

  
 128 








 
(4) unless the Borrower otherwise consents, no assignment of all or any portion of the Revolving Commitment of a Lender that is also an Issuing Bank may be made unless (A) the assignee
shall be or become an Issuing Bank, as applicable, and assume a ratable portion of the rights and obligations of such assignor in its capacity as Issuing Bank, or (B) the assignor agrees, in its discretion, to retain all of its rights with
respect to and obligations to make or issue Letters of Credit, as applicable, hereunder in which case the Applicable Fronting Exposure of such assignor may exceed such assignor’s Revolving Commitment for purposes of Section 2.03 by an
amount not to exceed the difference between the assignor’s Revolving Commitment prior to such assignment and the assignor’s Revolving Commitment following such assignment; provided that no such consent of the Borrower shall be
required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. 
 (ii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant
to paragraph (b)(v) of this Section 9.04, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and
Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement
(and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of (and subject
to the obligations and limitations of) Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 and to any fees payable hereunder that have accrued for such Lender’s account but have not yet been paid). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or
obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c)(i) of
this Section. Upon request, and the surrender by the assigning Lender of its Note (if any), the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under
this Agreement that does not comply with this clause (ii) shall not be an effective assignment hereunder. 
 (iii) The
Issuing Bank may assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under the undrawn portion of its Letter of Credit Commitment at any time; provided that (1) each such assignment shall be to an Eligible Assignee (other than an
Approved Fund) and (2) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register, an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of
$3,500 (which fee may be waived or reduced in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent). 
 (iv) The Administrative
Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices 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
Commitment of, and principal and interest amounts of the Loans and L/C Obligations (specifying the Unreimbursed Amounts), L/C Borrowings 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, the Issuing Banks 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, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. In addition, the 

  
 129 








 
Administrative Agent shall maintain on the Register information regarding the designation, and revocation of designation, of any Lender as a Defaulting Lender. The Register shall be available for
inspection by the Borrower, the Issuing Banks and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 

(v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the
assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire and any tax forms required by Section 2.18(f) (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b)(i) of this
Section 9.04 and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section 9.04, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register.
No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph (v) and paragraph (iv) above. 

(vi) The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature” and words of like import in any Assignment and
Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based
recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable Law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act or any other
similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. 
 (c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent, or the Issuing Banks, sell participations to one or more banks or other Persons other than a natural person, a Defaulting Lender, the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries or Affiliates (a
“Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans (including such Lender’s participations in L/C Obligations) owing
to it); provided that (1) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (2) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and
(3) the Borrower, the Agents, the Issuing Banks and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument
pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and any other Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this
Agreement and any other Loan Documents; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in clauses (i), (ii),
(iii), (vii) and (viii) of Section 9.02(b) that directly and adversely affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(iii) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of
Sections 2.16, 2.17 and 2.18 (subject to the obligations and limitations of such Sections, including Section 2.18(f)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this
Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.19(c) as though it were a
Lender. 
 (ii) Each Lender that sells a participation shall maintain a register meeting the requirements of Treasury
Regulation Section 5f.l03-l(c) (or any successor regulation), on which it enters the name and the address of each Participant and the principal amounts of each Participant’s participation interest in the Commitments and/or Loans (or
other 

  
 130 








 
rights or obligations) held by it (the “Participant Register”). 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. In maintaining the Participant Register, such Lender shall be acting as
the agent of the Borrower solely for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 5f.103-1(c) and undertakes no other duty, responsibility or obligation to the Borrower (including, without limitation, in no event shall such Lender be considered
a fiduciary of the Borrower for any purpose). In addition to maintaining the Participant Register, such Lender shall, upon request, show the Participant Register to the Borrower; provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose
all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to
any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. 

(iii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.16 or Section 2.18 than the
applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. 

(iv) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement
(including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender; provided that (1) no such
pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto and (2) in no event shall any assignee or pledgee be considered to be a
“Lender” or be entitled to require the assigning Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder. 
 (v)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Issuing Bank may, upon 30 days’ prior written notice to the Borrower and the Lenders, resign as an Issuing Bank; provided that on or prior to the expiration of
such 30-day period with respect to such resignation, the relevant Issuing Bank shall have identified, in consultation with the Borrower, a successor Issuing Bank willing to accept its appointment as successor Issuing Bank. In the event of any
such resignation of an Issuing Bank, the Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders willing to accept such appointment a successor Issuing Bank hereunder; provided that no failure by the Borrower to appoint any such
successor shall affect the resignation of the relevant Issuing Bank. If an Issuing Bank resigns as an Issuing Bank, it shall retain all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of
the effective date of its resignation as an Issuing Bank and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make ABR Loans or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to
Section 2.03(c)). 
 (d) In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such
assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon
distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other 

  
 131 








 
compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable Pro Rata Share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the
Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (i) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder
(and interest accrued thereon) and (ii) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit in accordance with its Pro Rata Share. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any
assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting
Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs. 
 SECTION 9.05 Survival. All covenants, agreements,
representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to any Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other
parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding
that the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long
as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The
provisions of Sections 2.16, 2.17, 2.18 and 9.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or
termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, in the event that, in connection with
the refinancing or repayment in full of the credit facilities provided for herein, an Issuing Bank shall have provided to the Administrative Agent a written consent to the release of the Revolving Lenders from their obligations hereunder with
respect to any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank (whether as a result of the obligations of the Borrower (and any other account party) in respect of such Letter of Credit having been collateralized in full by a deposit of cash with such
Issuing Bank or being supported by a letter of credit that names such Issuing Bank as the beneficiary thereunder, or otherwise), then from and after such time such Letter of Credit shall cease to be a “Letter of Credit” outstanding
hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the Revolving Lenders shall be deemed to have no participations in such Letter of Credit, and no obligations with respect thereto, under Section 2.03. 

SECTION 9.06 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties
hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees
payable to the Administrative Agent or the syndication of the Loans and Commitments constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or
written, relating to the subject matter hereof. For the avoidance of doubt, the Fee Letter survives the Effective Date and the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become
effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall
be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic means shall be effective as
delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. 

  
 132 








 SECTION 9.07 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid,
illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction or with respect to any Loan Party shall, as to such jurisdiction or such Loan Party, as the case may be, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting
the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction or with respect to a particular Loan Party shall not invalidate such provision in any other
jurisdiction or with respect to any other Loan Party. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.07, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be
limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent or an Issuing Bank, as applicable, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited. 

SECTION 9.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Administrative Agent, each Lender,
each Issuing Bank and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time, and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or
final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by the Administrative Agent, such Lender, any such Issuing Bank or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any of and all
the obligations of the Borrower then due and owing under this Agreement held by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or Issuing Bank, irrespective of whether or not the Administrative Agent, such Lender or Issuing Bank shall have made any demand
under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although (a) such obligations may be contingent or unmatured and (b) such obligations are owed to a branch or office of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or Issuing Bank different
from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such Indebtedness; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (1) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to
the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.22 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders and (2) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such
right of setoff. The Administrative Agent, the applicable Lender and applicable Issuing Bank shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of such setoff and application; provided that any failure to give or any delay in giving such
notice shall not affect the validity of any such setoff and application under this Section 9.08. The rights of the Administrative Agent, each Lender, each Issuing Bank and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other
rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that the Administrative Agent, such Lender, such Issuing Bank and their respective Affiliates may have. 

SECTION 9.09 Payment Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower is made to any Agent or any Lender,
or any Agent or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any
settlement entered into by such Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery,
the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the
Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share of any amount so recovered from or repaid by any Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate.

Loan Document, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such
New York State or, to the extent permitted by Law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the
judgment or in any other manner provided by Law. Nothing in any Loan Document shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to any Loan Document
against the Borrower or their respective properties in the courts of any jurisdiction. 
 (c) Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to any Loan Document in any court
referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

 SECTION 9.11 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY
RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO
(A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT
IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION. 

SECTION 9.12 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by each Lender and Issuing Bank that each such Lender and Issuing Bank has executed it and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, each
such Agent and each Lender and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrower shall not have the right to assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the Lenders. 

SECTION 9.13 Lender Action. Each Lender agrees that it shall not take or institute any actions or proceedings, judicial or
otherwise, for any right or remedy against any Loan Party or any other obligor under any of the Loan Documents, the Secured Hedge Agreements or the Cash Management Documents (including the exercise of any right of setoff, rights on account of any
banker’s lien or similar claim or other rights of self-help), or institute any actions or proceedings, or otherwise commence any remedial procedures, with respect to any Collateral or any other property of any such Loan Party, without the prior
written consent of the Administrative Agent. The provision of this Section 9.13 are for the sole benefit of the Lenders and shall not afford any right to, or constitute a defense available to, any Loan Party.

any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (v) subject to an agreement containing confidentiality undertakings substantially similar to those of this

expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit (including as a result of obtaining the consent of the applicable Issuing Bank as described in Section 9.05 of the Credit Agreement), all obligations under the Loan Documents and all security
interests created by the Security Documents shall be automatically released. In connection with any termination or release pursuant to this Section, the Administrative Agent shall execute and deliver to any Loan Party, at such Loan Party’s
expense, all documents that such Loan Party shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release so long as the Borrower or applicable Loan Party shall have provided the Administrative Agent such certifications or documents as the
Administrative Agent shall reasonably request in order to demonstrate compliance with this Agreement. 
 (b) The Administrative Agent will,
at the Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably request to subordinate its Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document
to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 6.02(c), (d), (e), (g), (i) or (k). 
 (c) Each of the
Lenders and the Issuing Bank irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to provide any release or evidence of release, termination or subordination 

  
 136 








 
contemplated by this Section 9.17. Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release or
subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Loan Party from its obligations under any Loan Document, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Document and this Section 9.17. 

SECTION 9.18 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 (a) (i) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the
Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Syndication Agent and the Lead Arrangers are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Borrower and its respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the
Syndication Agent and the Lead Arrangers, on the other hand, (ii) the Borrower has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (iii) 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, (b) (i) each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Lead Arrangers 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, any of its Affiliates or any other Person and (ii) none of
the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Syndication Agent and the Lead Arrangers 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 (c) the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Syndication Agent and the Lead Arrangers 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 none of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Syndication Agent and the Lead Arrangers has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates. To the fullest
extent permitted by applicable Laws, the Borrower hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Syndication Agent and the Lead Arrangers with respect to any breach or alleged breach of
agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.

 GUARANTEE AGREEMENT 

This GUARANTEE AGREEMENT (as amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, this
“Agreement”) dated as of June 19, 2014, is made by and among LMI AEROSPACE, INC., a Missouri corporation (the “Borrower”) and each of the Subsidiaries (as defined in the Credit Agreement (as defined below)) of
the Borrower party hereto or that may become party hereto pursuant to Section 8(b) hereof (collectively, the “Guarantors”) and ROYAL BANK OF CANADA, as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”) for the
Secured Parties (as defined in the Credit Agreement (as defined below)). Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement. 

Reference is made to that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of June 19, 2014 (as amended, amended and restated supplemented or otherwise
modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, Royal Bank of Canada and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Co-Collateral Agents and the Lenders and Issuing Banks from time
to time party thereto. 
 The Lenders have agreed to make Loans to the Borrower and the Issuing Banks have agreed to issue Letters of Credit
for the account of the Borrower and each of the other Guarantors pursuant to, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions specified in, the Credit Agreement and the Hedge Banks have agreed to enter into Secured Hedge Agreements and the Cash
Management Banks have agreed to enter into arrangements relating to Cash Management Obligations. Each of the Guarantors acknowledges that it will derive substantial benefit from the making of the Loans by the Lenders, the issuance of Letters of
Credit by the Issuing Banks, the entering into Secured Hedge Agreements by the Hedge Banks and the entering into Cash Management Documents by the Cash Management Banks. The obligations of the Lenders to make Loans and the Issuing Banks to issue
Letters of Credit are conditioned on, among other things, the execution and delivery by the Guarantors of a Guarantee Agreement in the form hereof. As consideration therefor and in order to induce the Lenders to make Loans, the Issuing Banks to
issue Letters of Credit, the Hedge Banks to enter into the Secured Hedging Agreements and the Cash Management Banks to enter into arrangements relating to Cash Management Obligations, the Guarantors are willing to execute this Agreement. 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and in order to induce the Lenders to make Loans and the Issuing Banks to issue Letters of
Credit under the Credit Agreement and the Hedge Banks to enter into Secured Hedge Agreements from time to time and the Cash Management Banks to enter into arrangements relating to Cash Management Obligations from time to time, each Guarantor,
jointly and severally with each other Guarantor, hereby agrees as follows: 
 Section 1. Guarantee; Limitation of Liability.
(a) Each Guarantor hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the punctual payment when due, whether at scheduled maturity or on any date of a required prepayment or by acceleration, demand or otherwise, of all Obligations of
each other Loan Party now or hereafter existing under or in respect of the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, any extensions, modifications, substitutions, amendments or renewals of any or all of the foregoing Obligations), whether
direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, and whether for principal, interest, premiums, fees, indemnities, contract causes of action, costs, expenses or otherwise (such Obligations being the “Guaranteed Obligations”), and agrees
to pay any and all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party in connection with the enforcement of any rights or remedies under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor’s liability shall extend to all amounts that constitute part of the Guaranteed Obligations and would be owed by any other Loan Party to any Secured Party under or in respect of the Loan
Documents but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving such other Loan Party. 







 (b) Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of this Agreement, the Administrative Agent and each
other Secured Party, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such Persons that this Agreement and the Obligations of such Guarantor hereunder do not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Debtor Relief Laws, the
Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar foreign, federal or state law to the extent applicable to this Agreement and the Obligations of such Guarantor hereunder. To effectuate the foregoing intention,
the Administrative Agent, the other Secured Parties and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the Obligations of each Guarantor under this Agreement at any time shall be limited to the maximum amount as will result in the Obligations of such
Guarantor under this Agreement not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance. 
 (c) Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and
irrevocably agrees that in the event any payment shall be required to be made to any Secured Party under this Agreement or any other guarantee, such Guarantor will contribute, to the maximum extent permitted by law, such amounts to each other
Guarantor and each other guarantor so as to maximize the aggregate amount paid to the Secured Parties under or in respect of the Loan Documents. 

(d) Each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or
other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Loan Party to honor all of its obligations under this Agreement in respect of Swap Obligations (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this
Section 1(d) for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 1(d), or otherwise under this Agreement, 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 shall remain in full force and effect until a discharge of guaranteed obligations as provided herein. Each Qualified ECP
Guarantor intends that this Section 1(d) constitute, and this Section 1(d) shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Loan Party for all purposes of
Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act. 
 (e) For the purposes of this Section 1, “Qualified ECP
Guarantor” shall mean, in respect of any Swap Obligation, each Loan Party 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. 

Section 2. Guarantee Absolute. Each Guarantor guarantees that the Guaranteed Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with
the terms of the Loan Documents, regardless of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of any Secured Party with respect thereto. The obligations of each Guarantor under
or in respect of this Agreement are independent of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Obligations of any other Loan Party under or in respect of the Loan Documents, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against each
Guarantor to enforce this Agreement, irrespective of whether any action is brought against the Borrower or any other Loan Party or whether the Borrower or any other Loan Party is joined in any such action or actions. This Agreement is a guarantee of
payment, and not of collection. The liability of each Guarantor under this Agreement shall be irrevocable, absolute and unconditional irrespective of, and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives (to the extent permitted by applicable Laws), any
defenses it may now have or hereafter acquire in any way relating to, any or all of the following: 
 (a) any lack of validity or
enforceability of any Loan Document or any agreement or instrument relating thereto; 

  
 2 








 (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any
of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Obligations of any other Loan Party under or in respect of the Loan Documents, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from any Loan Document, including, without limitation, any
increase in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from the extension of additional credit to any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries or otherwise; 

(c) any taking, exchange, release or non-perfection of any Collateral or any other collateral, or any taking, release or amendment or waiver
of, or consent to departure from, any other guarantee, for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations; 
 (d) any manner of application of
Collateral or any other collateral, or proceeds thereof, to all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any manner of sale or other disposition of any Collateral or any other collateral for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other
Obligations of any Loan Party under any Loan Document or any other assets of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries; 
 (e) any change,
restructuring or termination of the corporate structure or existence of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries; 
 (f) any failure of
any Secured Party to disclose to any Loan Party any information relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties or prospects of any other Loan Party now or hereafter known to such Secured Party (each
Guarantor waiving any duty on the part of the Secured Parties to disclose such information); 
 (g) the failure of any other Person to
execute or deliver this Agreement, any Guarantee Agreement Supplement (as hereinafter defined) or any other guarantee or agreement or the release or reduction of liability of any Guarantor or other guarantor or surety with respect to the Guaranteed
Obligations; or 
 (h) any other circumstance (including, without limitation, any statute of limitations) or any existence of or reliance
on any representation by any Secured Party that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Loan Party or any other guarantor or surety, other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations. 

This Agreement shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Guaranteed
Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by any Secured Party or any other Person upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or any other Loan Party or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

 Section 3. Waivers and Acknowledgments. (a) Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives promptness,
diligence, notice of acceptance, presentment, demand for performance, notice of nonperformance, default, acceleration, protest or dishonor and any other notice with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations and this Agreement and any requirement
that any Secured Party protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien or any property subject thereto or exhaust any right or take any action against any Loan Party or any other Person or any Collateral. 

  
 3 








 (b) Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any right to revoke this
Agreement and acknowledges that this Agreement is continuing in nature and applies to all Guaranteed Obligations, whether existing now or in the future. 

(c) Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives (i) any defense arising by reason of any claim or defense based upon an
election of remedies by any Secured Party that in any manner impairs, reduces, releases or otherwise adversely affects the subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification rights of such Guarantor or other rights of such
Guarantor to proceed against any of the other Loan Parties, any other guarantor or any other Person or any Collateral and (ii) any defense based on any right of set-off or counterclaim against or in respect of the Obligations of such Guarantor
hereunder. 
 (d) Each Guarantor acknowledges that the Administrative Agent may (to the extent permitted under applicable Laws), in
accordance with the Loan Documents, without notice to or demand upon such Guarantor and without affecting the liability of such Guarantor under this Agreement, foreclose under any mortgage by nonjudicial sale, and each Guarantor hereby waives any
defense to the recovery by the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties against such Guarantor of any deficiency after such nonjudicial sale and any defense or benefits that may be afforded by applicable Laws. 

(e) Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any duty on the part of any Secured Party to disclose to such Guarantor any
matter, fact or thing relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties or prospects of any other Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries now or hereafter known by such Secured Party. 

(f) Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive substantial direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by
the Loan Documents and that the waivers set forth in Section 2 hereof and this Section 3 are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits. 

Section 4. Subrogation. Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees that, until the Termination Date, it will
not to exercise any rights that it may now have or hereafter acquire against the Borrower or any other Loan Party or under any guarantee of the Obligations that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of such Guarantor’s
Obligations under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of
any Secured Party against the Borrower or any other Loan Party or under any guarantee of the Obligations or any Collateral, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, including, without
limitation, the right to take or receive from the Borrower or any other Loan Party or under any guarantee of the Obligations, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security on account of
such claim, remedy or right. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor in violation of the immediately preceding sentence at any time prior to the Termination Date, such amount shall be received and held in trust for the benefit of the Secured
Parties, shall be segregated from other property and funds of such Guarantor and shall promptly be paid or delivered to the Administrative Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement or assignment) to be credited and
applied to the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Agreement, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, or to be held as Collateral for any Guaranteed Obligations or other amounts
payable under this Agreement thereafter arising. If any Guarantor makes payment to any Secured Party of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations and the Termination Date shall have occurred, the Secured Parties will, at such Guarantor’s
request and expense, execute and deliver to such Guarantor appropriate documents, without recourse and without representation or warranty, necessary to evidence the transfer by subrogation to such Guarantor of an interest in the Guaranteed
Obligations resulting from such payment made by such Guarantor pursuant to this Agreement. 

  
 4 








 Section 5. Payments Free and Clear of Taxes, Etc. Any and all payments by or on
account of any obligation of any Guarantor hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes and Other Taxes on the same terms and to the same extent that payments by the
Borrower are required to be made free and clear of Taxes and Other Taxes pursuant to Section 2.18 of the Credit Agreement. 

Section 6. Representations and Warranties. (a) Each Guarantor hereby represents and warrants to the Secured Parties that as
of the date hereof (or in the case of any Additional Guarantor (as hereinafter defined), as of the date on which it becomes a party hereto), all representations and warranties of or concerning such Guarantor contained in the Credit Agreement and the
other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date made and are hereby incorporated herein by reference as if stated verbatim herein; provided that to the extent that such representations and warranties
specifically refer to an earlier date, they shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date; provided further that any representation and warranty that is qualified as to “materiality”,
“Material Adverse Effect” or similar language shall be true and correct (after giving effect to any qualification therein) in all respects on such respective dates. 

(b) Each Guarantor has, independently and without reliance upon any Secured Party and based on such documents and information as it has
deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and each other Loan Document to which it is or is to be a party, and such Guarantor has established adequate means of obtaining from each other Loan Party on
a continuing basis information pertaining to, and is now and on a continuing basis will be completely familiar with, the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties and prospects of such other Loan Party.

or such Subsidiaries to perform or observe.

Loan Document to a “Guarantor” shall also mean and be a reference to such Additional Guarantor and (ii) each reference herein to “this Agreement”, “hereunder”, “hereof” or words of like import referring

Credit Agreement. Delivery by facsimile or other electronic transmission of an executed counterpart of a signature page to any amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or of any Guarantee Agreement Supplement to be executed and

Section 11. Right of Set-off. In addition to any rights and remedies of the Agents and the Lenders provided under applicable Law,
upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Agent, each Lender, each Issuing Bank and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time, and from time to time, without notice to any Loan Party, to
the fullest extent permitted by Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Agent, such Lender, such Issuing Bank or such
Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Guarantor against any and all of the Obligations of such Guarantor now or hereafter due and owing under the Loan Documents, irrespective of whether such Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank
shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations may be contingent or unmatured or such obligations are owed to a branch or office of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or Issuing Bank
different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such Indebtedness. Each Agent, each Lender and each Issuing Bank shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of such setoff and application; provided that any
failure to give or any delay in giving such notice shall not affect the validity of any such setoff and application under this Section 11. The rights of the each Agent, each Lender, each Issuing Bank and their respective Affiliates under this
Section 11 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that each Agent, such Lender, such Issuing Bank and their respective Affiliates may have. 

Section 12. Indemnification. (a) Without limitation of any of its obligations under the other Loan Documents, each Guarantor
agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and the other Indemnitees (as defined in Section 9.03(b) of the Credit Agreement) as if Section 9.03 of the Credit Agreement was set out in full herein and references to “Borrower”
therein were references to each Guarantor, and each Guarantor hereby waives all liabilities against Administrative Agent and each Secured Party as if Indemnitees and the other Secured Parties to the extent set forth in Section 9.03 of the
Credit Agreement. 

  
 6

Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, the agreements and obligations of each Guarantor contained in Section 1(a) (with respect to enforcement expenses), the last sentence of Section 2, Section 5 and this Section 12 shall
survive the payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations and all of the other amounts payable under this Agreement. 
 Section 13.
Subordination. Each Guarantor hereby subordinates any and all debts, liabilities and other obligations owed to such Guarantor by each other Loan Party (the “Subordinated Obligations”) to the payment in full in cash of the
Guaranteed Obligations (other than contingent obligations for which no claim or other demand has been made) to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth in this Section 13: 

(a) Prohibited Payments, Etc. Except upon notice given by the Administrative Agent to the relevant Guarantor following the occurrence
and during the continuance of any Default under Section 7.01(h) or 7.01(i) of the Credit Agreement (including the commencement and continuation of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law relating to any other Loan Party) or any other Event
of Default pursuant to Section 7.01 of the Credit Agreement, each Guarantor may receive regularly scheduled payments from any other Loan Party on account of the Subordinated Obligations. Upon delivery by the Administrative Agent of the notice
referred to in the immediately preceding sentence, unless the Administrative Agent otherwise agrees, no Guarantor shall demand, accept or take any action to collect any payment on account of the Subordinated Obligations. 

(b) Turn-Over. Upon notice given by the Administrative Agent to the relevant Guarantor following the occurrence and during the
continuance of any Default under Section 7.01(h) or 7.01(i) of the Credit Agreement (including the commencement and continuation of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law relating to any other Loan Party) or any other Event of Default
pursuant to Section 7.01 of the Credit Agreement, each Guarantor shall, if the Administrative Agent so requests, collect, enforce and receive payments on account of the Subordinated Obligations for the benefit of the Secured Parties and deliver
such payments to the Administrative Agent on account of the Guaranteed Obligations (including all Post Petition Interest, as defined below), together with any necessary endorsements or other instruments of transfer, but without reducing or affecting
in any manner the liability of such Guarantor under the other provisions of this Agreement.

 Exhibit A 

To The 
 Guarantee Agreement

 SUPPLEMENT NO.      (this “Supplement”) dated as of
             20     , to the Guarantee Agreement dated as of June 19, 2014 (as the same may be amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified
from time to time, the “Guarantee Agreement”), among LMI AEROSPACE, INC., a Missouri corporation (the “Borrower”) and each of the Subsidiaries (as defined in the Credit Agreement (as defined below)) of the Borrower
that may become party thereto pursuant to Section 8(b) thereof (collectively, the “Guarantors”) and ROYAL BANK OF CANADA, as Administrative Agent (the “Administrative Agent”) for the Secured Parties. 

A. Reference is made to that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of June 19, 2014 (as amended, amended and restated supplemented or
otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, Royal Bank of Canada and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as co-collateral agents and the Lenders and Issuing Banks
from time to time party thereto. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Guarantee Agreement. 

B. The Guarantors have entered into the Guarantee Agreement in order to induce the Lenders to make Loans, the Issuing Banks to issue Letters
of Credit, the Hedge Banks to enter into the Secured Hedge Agreements and the Cash Management Banks to enter into the Cash Management Documents. Pursuant to Section 5.12 of the Credit Agreement, any Person that becomes a Wholly Owned Subsidiary
of the Borrower that is required to become a Guarantor under the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement after the Effective Date is required to enter into the Guarantee Agreement as a Guarantor. The undersigned Subsidiary (the “New
Guarantor”) is executing this Supplement in accordance with the requirements of the Credit Agreement and the Guarantee Agreement to become a Guarantor under the Guarantee Agreement in order to induce the Lenders to make additional Loans,
the Issuing Banks to issue additional Letters of Credit, the Hedge Banks to enter into additional Secured Hedge Agreements and the Cash Management Banks to enter into the Cash Management Documents and as consideration for the Loans previously made,
Letters of Credit previously issued, Secured Hedge Agreements and Cash Management Documents previously entered into. 
 Accordingly, the
Administrative Agent and the New Guarantor agree as follows: 
 Section 1. Guarantee; Limitation of Liability. (a) In
accordance with Section 5.12 of the Credit Agreement, the New Guarantor hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the punctual payment when due, whether at scheduled maturity or on any date of a required prepayment or by
acceleration, demand or otherwise, of all Obligations of each other Loan Party now or hereafter existing under or in respect of the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, any extensions, modifications, substitutions, amendments or renewals
of any or all of the foregoing Obligations), whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, and whether for principal, interest, premium, reasonable fees, indemnities, contract causes of action, costs, expenses or otherwise (such Obligations
being the “Guaranteed Obligations”), and agrees to pay any and all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party in connection with the enforcement of any rights or
remedies under this Supplement, the Guarantee Agreement or any other Loan Document. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the New Guarantor’s liability shall extend to all amounts that constitute part of the Guaranteed Obligations
and would be owed by any other Loan Party to any Secured Party under or in respect of the Loan Documents but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding
involving such other Loan Party. 







 (b) The New Guarantor, and by its acceptance of this Supplement, the Administrative Agent and
each other Secured Party, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such Persons that this Supplement, the Guarantee Agreement and the Obligations of the New Guarantor hereunder and thereunder not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance
for purposes of Debtor Relief Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar foreign, federal or state law to the extent applicable to this Supplement, the Guarantee Agreement and the Obligations of
the New Guarantor hereunder and thereunder. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Administrative Agent, the other Secured Parties and the New Guarantor hereby irrevocably agree that the Obligations of the New Guarantor under this Supplement and
the Guarantee Agreement at any time shall be limited to the maximum amount as will result in the Obligations of the New Guarantor under this Supplement and the Guarantee Agreement not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance. 

(c) The New Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees that in the event any payment shall be required to be made to any Secured
Party under this Supplement, the Guarantee Agreement or any other guarantee, the New Guarantor will contribute, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, such amounts to each other Guarantor and each other guarantor so as to maximize the
aggregate amount paid to the Secured Parties under or in respect of the Loan Documents. 
 Section 2. Obligations Under the
Guarantee Agreement. The New Guarantor hereby agrees, as of the date first above written, to be bound as a Guarantor by all of the terms and conditions of the Guarantee Agreement to the same extent as each of the other Guarantors thereunder. The
New Guarantor further agrees, as of the date first above written, that each reference in the Guarantee Agreement to an “Additional Guarantor” or a “Guarantor” shall also mean and be a reference to the New Guarantor, and each
reference in any other Loan Document to a “Guarantor” or a “Loan Party” shall also mean and be a reference to the New Guarantor. 

Section 3. Representations and Warranties. The New Guarantor hereby makes each representation and warranty set forth in
Section 6 of the Guarantee Agreement to the same extent as each other Guarantor. 
 Section 4. Delivery by Facsimile;
Electronic Transmission. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Supplement by facsimile or other electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Supplement. 

Section 5. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial, Etc. (a) THIS SUPPLEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND
GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 
 (b) EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS, FOR ITSELF AND ITS
PROPERTY, TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SITTING IN NEW YORK COUNTY AND OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT OF THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND ANY APPELLATE COURT FROM ANY THEREOF, IN ANY ACTION OR
PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS SUPPLEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED THERETO, OR FOR RECOGNITION OR ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT, AND EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT
OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN SUCH NEW YORK STATE OR, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN SUCH FEDERAL COURT. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGREES THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE
CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW. NOTHING IN THIS SUPPLEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED THERETO SHALL AFFECT ANY RIGHT THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY ISSUING
BANK OR ANY LENDER MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS SUPPLEMENT AGAINST THE NEW GUARANTOR OR ITS RESPECTIVE PROPERTIES IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION. 







 (c) EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT IT MAY
LEGALLY AND EFFECTIVELY DO SO, ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS SUPPLEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED THERETO IN ANY COURT REFERRED TO IN
THIS SECTION 16. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM TO THE MAINTENANCE OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT. 

(d) EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL
PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS SUPPLEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR
ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED

Administrative Agent, its successors and assigns, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest in, all of such Grantor’s right, title and interest in, to and under and whether now or hereafter existing or arising (i) all
Equity Interests owned or otherwise held by it in each of its Subsidiaries listed on Schedule I and any other Equity Interests in any Subsidiary of the Borrower obtained after the date of this Agreement by such Grantor and the certificates
representing all such Equity Interests (collectively, the “Pledged Equity”); provided that the Pledged Equity shall not include (A) Equity Interests in any Subsidiary that is directly or indirectly owned by a CFC,
(B) more than 65% of the issued and outstanding Voting Interests of each Subsidiary that is a CFC, (C) Equity Interests in any Person (other than Wholly Owned Subsidiaries) to the extent not permitted to be pledged by the terms of such
Person’s organizational or joint venture documents and (D) Equity Interests of any Domestic Subsidiary whose only asset is the Equity Interests in Foreign Subsidiaries; (ii) (A) all debt securities owned by it and listed opposite the
name of such Grantor on Schedule I, (B) any debt securities obtained after the date of this Agreement by such Grantor and (C) the promissory notes and any other instruments evidencing such debt securities (the debt securities referred to
in clauses (A), (B) and (C) of this clause (ii) are collectively referred to as the “Pledged Debt”); provided that the Pledged Debt shall exclude intercompany Indebtedness owed by any Subsidiary that is a CFC
or is directly or indirectly owned by a CFC solely to the extent a pledge thereof could reasonably be expected to result in material adverse tax consequences; (iii) all other property that is delivered to and held by the Administrative Agent in
accordance with the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement; (iv) subject to Section 2.06, all payments of principal or interest, dividends, cash, instruments and other property from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed
in respect of, in exchange for or upon the conversion of, and all other proceeds received in respect of, the securities referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) above; (v) all rights and privileges of such Grantor with respect to the
securities and other property referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above; and (vi) all proceeds of any of the foregoing (the items referred to in clauses (i) through

(vi) above being collectively referred to as the “Pledged Collateral”); provided that the Pledged Collateral shall exclude (A) any assets the pledge of which is
prohibited by law or by agreements containing anti-assignment clauses not overridden by the Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable Law and (B) any intellectual property and related assets subject to the Intellectual Property Security
Agreement (it being understood and agreed that such intellectual property and related assets shall otherwise constitute Collateral). 
 TO
HAVE AND TO HOLD the Pledged Collateral, together with all right, title, interest, powers, privileges and preferences pertaining or incidental thereto, unto the Administrative Agent, its successors and assigns, for the benefit of the Secured
Parties, subject, however, to the terms, covenants and conditions hereinafter set forth. 
 The grant of a security interest in the Pledged
Collateral by each Grantor under this Agreement secures the payment of all Obligations of such Grantor now or hereafter existing under, or in respect of, the Loan Documents, whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, and whether for
principal, reimbursement obligations, interest, premiums, penalties, fees, indemnifications, contract causes of action, costs, expenses or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this Agreement secures the payment of all amounts
that constitute part of the Obligations and that would be owed by such Grantor to any Secured Party under the Loan Documents but for the fact that such Obligations are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy,
reorganization or similar proceeding involving a Loan Party. 
 SECTION 2.02 Delivery of the Pledged Collateral. 

(a) Each Grantor agrees promptly to deliver or cause to be delivered to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, any
and all Pledged Securities to the extent such Pledged Securities, in the case of promissory notes or other instruments evidencing Indebtedness, are required to be delivered pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 2.02; provided
that, to the extent the Administrative Agent is in possession of any Pledged Securities on the Effective Date pursuant to the terms of the Existing Credit Agreement, such Pledged Securities shall be deemed to have been delivered to the
Administrative Agent by the Grantors (as applicable) on the Effective Date. 
 (b) Each Grantor will cause any Pledged Debt (other than any
intercompany loans constituting Pledged Debt made by such Grantor to a non-Loan Party), to be evidenced by a duly executed promissory note (or pursuant to a global note) that is pledged and delivered to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of
the Secured Parties, pursuant to the terms hereof. 
 (c) Upon delivery to the Administrative Agent, (i) any Pledged Securities
required to be delivered pursuant to Section 2.02(a) or (b) shall be accompanied by undated stock or note powers, as applicable, duly executed in blank, or other undated instruments of transfer duly executed in blank and reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and by such other instruments and documents as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request and (ii) all other property comprising part of the Pledged Collateral delivered pursuant to the terms of
this Agreement shall be accompanied (to the extent necessary to perfect the security interest therein or allow realization thereon) by undated proper instruments of assignment duly executed in blank by the applicable Grantor and such other
instruments or documents as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request. 
 (d) Each Grantor hereby agrees that if any of the Pledged
Securities not otherwise covered by Sections 2.02(a) or (b) above are at any time not evidenced by certificates, then each applicable Grantor shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (i) cause the issuer to execute and deliver to
the Administrative Agent an acknowledgement of the pledge of such Pledged Securities, 

  
 4 








 
substantially in the form of Exhibit II hereto or such other form that is reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (ii) if necessary or desirable to perfect a security interest
in such Pledged Securities, cause such pledge to be recorded on the equityholder register or the books of the applicable issuer, execute any customary pledge forms or other documents necessary or appropriate to complete the pledge and give the
Administrative Agent the right to transfer such Pledged Securities under the terms hereof, and (iii) after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, such Grantor shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent thereof
and, at the Administrative Agent’s reasonable request, (A) cause the Organizational Documents of each such issuer to be amended to provide that such Pledged Securities shall be treated as “securities” for purposes of the New York
UCC or its equivalent in other jurisdictions and (B) cause such Pledged Securities to become certificated and delivered to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.02(a). Each delivery of Pledged Securities
shall be accompanied by a schedule describing the securities, which schedule shall be attached hereto as Schedule I and made a part hereof; provided that failure to attach any such schedule hereto shall not affect the validity of such pledge
of such Pledged Securities. Each schedule so delivered shall supplement any prior schedules so delivered. 
 SECTION 2.03
Representations, Warranties and Covenants. Each Grantor represents, warrants and covenants to and with the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, that: 

(a) Schedule I correctly sets forth the percentage of the issued and outstanding units of each class of the Equity Interests of the
issuer thereof represented by the Pledged Equity and includes all Equity Interests, debt securities and promissory notes required to be pledged hereunder in order to satisfy the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement. 

(b) Each Grantor has good and valid rights in and title to the Pledged Collateral and has full power and authority to pledge to the
Administrative Agent such Pledged Collateral pursuant hereto and to execute, deliver and perform its obligations in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without the consent or approval of any other Person other than consent or approval that
has been obtained (except for such actions of issuers as are contemplated by Section 2.02(a)). 
 (c) The Pledged Equity and Pledged
Debt (solely with respect to Pledged Debt issued by a Person other than a Subsidiary of the Grantors, to the best of the Grantors’ knowledge) have been duly and validly authorized and issued by the issuers thereof and (i) in the case of
Pledged Equity, are fully paid and non-assessable and (ii) in the case of Pledged Debt (solely with respect to Pledged Debt issued by a Person other than a Subsidiary of the Grantors, to the best of the Grantors’ knowledge), are legal,
valid and binding obligations of the issuers thereof, enforceable against each issuer thereof in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by Debtor Relief Laws and by general principles of equity (whether considered in
a proceeding at law or in equity). 
 (d) Except for the security interests granted hereunder, each of the Grantors (i) is and, subject
to any transfers made in compliance with the Credit Agreement, will continue to be the direct owner, beneficially and of record, of the Pledged Securities indicated on Schedule I as owned by such Grantors, (ii) holds the same free and clear of
all Liens, other than Liens expressly permitted pursuant to Section 6.02 of the Credit Agreement, (iii) will make no assignment, pledge, hypothecation or transfer of, or create or permit to exist any security interest in or other Lien on,
the Pledged Collateral, other than Liens permitted pursuant to Section 6.02 of the Credit Agreement, and (iv) will use commercially reasonable efforts to defend its title or interest thereto or therein against any and all Liens (other than
the Liens permitted pursuant to Section 6.02 of the Credit Agreement), however arising, of all Persons whomsoever. 

  
 5 








 (e) Except for restrictions and limitations imposed by the Loan Documents or securities laws
generally, (i) the Pledged Equity is freely transferable and assignable, and (ii) none of the Pledged Equity is subject to any option, right of first refusal, shareholders agreement, charter or by-law provisions or contractual restriction
of any nature that might prohibit, impair, delay or otherwise affect in any manner material and adverse to the Secured Parties the pledge of such Pledged Equity hereunder, the sale or disposition thereof pursuant hereto or the exercise by the
Administrative Agent of rights and remedies hereunder. 
 (f) Each of the Grantors has the power and authority to pledge the Pledged
Collateral pledged by it hereunder in the manner hereby done or contemplated. 
 (g) Except as disclosed or provided in or pursuant to
Section 3.03 of the Credit Agreement, no consent or approval of any Governmental Authority, any securities exchange or any other Person was or is necessary for the validity of the pledge effected hereby (other than such as have been obtained
and are in full force and effect). 
 (h) By virtue of the execution and delivery by the Grantors of this Agreement and the making of the
filings and completion of the other actions contemplated hereby, when any Pledged Securities are delivered to the Administrative Agent in accordance with this Agreement, the Administrative Agent will obtain a legal, valid and perfected lien upon and
security interest in such Pledged Securities as security for the payment and performance of the Obligations. 
 (i) The pledge effected
hereby is effective to vest in the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, the rights of the Administrative Agent in the Pledged Collateral as set forth herein. 

SECTION 2.04 Certification of Limited Liability Company and Limited Partnership Interests; Modification of Organizational
Documents. Each certificate representing an interest in any limited liability company or limited partnership controlled by any Grantor and pledged under Section 2.01 shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent. Except as requested by the
Administrative Agent, each Grantor agrees that it will not, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries not, to amend its Organizational Documents such that any Pledged Collateral would be treated as a “security” for purposes of the New York
UCC or its equivalent in other jurisdictions as a result of such amendment. 
 SECTION 2.05 Registration in Nominee Name;
Denominations. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and the Administrative Agent shall have given the Borrower written notice of its intent to exercise such rights, (a) the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured
Parties, shall have the right (in its sole and absolute discretion) to hold the Pledged Securities in its own name as pledgee, the name of its nominee (as pledgee or as sub-agent) or the name of the applicable Grantor, endorsed or assigned in blank
or in favor of the Administrative Agent, and each Grantor will promptly give to the Administrative Agent copies of any notices or other communications received by it with respect to Pledged Securities registered in the name of such Grantor and
(b) the Administrative Agent shall have the right to exchange the certificates representing Pledged Securities for certificates of smaller or larger denominations for any purpose consistent with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and
the terms and conditions of the applicable Pledged Securities. Promptly upon the cure or waiver of any such Event of Default, upon the request and at the expense of the applicable Grantor, the Administrative Agent shall transfer to or register in
the name of, as applicable, each Grantor which originally made the grant hereunder, any such Pledged Securities transferred to or registered in the name of the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.05 and not otherwise sold or
disposed of by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the Loan Documents.

 SECTION 2.06 Voting Rights; Dividends and Interest. 

(a) Unless and until an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Administrative Agent shall have notified the Borrower
in writing that the rights of the Grantors under this Section 2.06 are being suspended: 
 (i) Each Grantor shall be entitled to
exercise any and all voting and/or other consensual rights and powers inuring to an owner of Pledged Equity or any part thereof for any purpose not prohibited by the terms of this Agreement, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents;
provided that such rights and powers shall not be exercised in any manner that would materially and adversely affect the rights inuring to a holder of any Pledged Equity or the rights and remedies of any of the Administrative Agent or the
other Secured Parties under this Agreement, the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document or the ability of the Secured Parties to exercise the same. 

(ii) The Administrative Agent shall execute and deliver to each Grantor, or cause to be executed and delivered to each Grantor, all such
proxies, powers of attorney and other instruments as each Grantor may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling such Grantor to exercise the voting and/or consensual rights and powers it is entitled to exercise pursuant to subparagraph
(i) above. 
 (b) Except upon notice given by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower following the occurrence and during the
continuance of any Default under Section 7.01(h) or 7.01(i) of the Credit Agreement (including commencement and continuation of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law relating to any other Loan Party) or any other Event of Default pursuant
to Section 7.01 of the Credit Agreement, each Grantor shall be entitled to receive and retain any and all dividends, interest, principal and other distributions paid on or distributed in respect of the Pledged Equity to the extent and only to
the extent that such dividends, interest, principal and other distributions are not prohibited by, and otherwise paid or distributed in accordance with, the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents and applicable Laws;
provided that any noncash dividends, interest, principal or other distributions that would constitute Pledged Equity or Pledged Debt, whether resulting from a subdivision, combination or reclassification of the outstanding Equity Interests of
the issuer of any Pledged Securities or received in exchange for Pledged Securities or any part thereof, or in redemption thereof, or as a result of any merger, consolidation, acquisition or other exchange of assets to which such issuer may be a
party or otherwise, shall be and become part of the Pledged Collateral, and, if received by any Grantor, shall not be commingled by such Grantor with any of its other funds or property but shall be held separate and apart therefrom, shall be held in
trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties and shall be promptly delivered to the Administrative Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent).

 (c) Upon notice given by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default
under Section 7.01(h) or 7.01(i) of the Credit Agreement (including commencement and continuation of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law relating to any other Loan Party) or any other Event of Default pursuant to Section 7.01 of the
Credit Agreement, then all rights of any Grantor to dividends, interest, principal or other distributions that such Grantor is authorized to receive pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 2.06 shall cease, and all such rights shall
thereupon become vested in the Administrative Agent, which shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to receive and retain such dividends, interest, principal or other distributions. All dividends, interest, principal or other
distributions received by any Grantor, contrary to the provisions of this Section 2.06 shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, shall be segregated from other property or funds of such Grantor and shall be promptly
delivered to the Administrative Agent upon demand in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement reasonably requested by 

  
 7 








 
the Administrative Agent). Any and all money and other property paid over to or received by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph (b) shall be retained by the
Administrative Agent in an account to be established by the Administrative Agent upon receipt of such money or other property and shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.02. After all Events of Default have been cured or
waived, the Administrative Agent shall promptly repay to each applicable Grantor (without interest) all dividends, interest, principal or other distributions that such Grantor would otherwise be permitted to retain pursuant to the terms of paragraph
(b) of this Section 2.06 and that remain in such account. 
 (d) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, after the Administrative Agent (at the direction, or with the consent, of the Required Lenders) shall have provided notice to the Borrower of the suspension of the rights of the Grantors under paragraph (a)(i) of this Section 2.06,
then all rights of any Grantor to exercise the voting and consensual rights and powers it is entitled to exercise pursuant to paragraph (a)(i) of this Section 2.06, and the obligations of the Administrative Agent under paragraph (a)(ii) of this
Section 2.06, shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Administrative Agent, which shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to exercise such voting and consensual rights and powers; provided
that, unless otherwise directed by the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall have the right from time to time following and during the continuance of an Event of Default to permit the Grantors to exercise such rights. After all Events of
Default have been cured or waived, each Grantor shall have the exclusive right to exercise the voting and/or consensual rights and powers that such Grantor would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to the terms of paragraph (a)(i) of this
Section 2.06 and the Administrative Agent shall have all the obligations it would otherwise have under paragraph (a)(ii) of this Section 2.06. 

(e) Any notice given by the Administrative Agent to the Grantors suspending the rights of the Grantors under paragraph (a) of this
Section 2.06 (i) shall be given in writing (or by telephone if promptly confirmed in writing), (ii) may be given with respect to one or more of the Grantors at the same or different times and (iii) may suspend the rights of the
Grantors under paragraph (a)(i) or paragraph (b) of this Section 2.06 in part without suspending all such rights (as specified by the Administrative Agent in its sole and absolute discretion) and without waiving or otherwise affecting the
Administrative Agent’s rights to give additional notices from time to time suspending other rights so long as an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

(other than a Loan Party) after giving effect to the applicable anti-assignment provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable Law, other than proceeds and receivables thereof the
assignment of which is expressly deemed effective under applicable Law notwithstanding such prohibition, (H) Equity Interests of any Domestic Subsidiary whose only asset is the Equity Interests of Foreign Subsidiaries, (I) any real

such information to the Administrative Agent promptly upon request. Each Grantor also ratifies its authorization for the Administrative Agent to file in any relevant jurisdiction any initial financing statements or amendments thereto with respect to
the Collateral or any part thereof naming any Grantor as debtor or the Grantors as debtors and the Administrative Agent as secured party, if filed prior to the date hereof.

contingent, and whether for principal, reimbursement obligations, interest, premiums, penalties, fees, indemnifications, contract causes of action, costs, expenses or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this Agreement
secures the payment of all amounts that constitute part of the Obligations and that would be owed by such Grantor to any Secured Party under the Loan Documents but for the fact that such Obligations are unenforceable or not allowable due to the
existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving a Loan Party.

 SECTION 3.02 Representations and Warranties. Each Grantor jointly and severally
represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties that:

a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Grantor, enforceable against each Grantor that is party hereto in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by Debtor Relief Laws and by general principles of equity
(whether considered in a proceeding at law or in equity). 
 (c) The Perfection Certificate has been duly prepared, completed and executed
and the information set forth therein, including the exact legal name of each Grantor, is correct and complete in all material respects as of the Effective Date. The Uniform Commercial Code financing statements (including fixture filings, as

other office specified in the Perfection Certificate (or specified by notice from such Grantor to the Administrative Agent after the Effective Date in the case of filings, recordings or registrations required by Section 5.12 of the Credit
Agreement), are all the filings, recordings and registrations that are necessary to establish a legal, valid and perfected security interest in favor of the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) in respect of all Article 9

recording, rerecording, registration or reregistration is necessary in any such jurisdiction, except as provided under applicable Law with respect to the filing of continuation statements. 

(d) The Security Interest constitutes (i) a legal and valid security interest in all the Article 9 Collateral securing the payment and
performance of the Obligations, including obligations under the Guarantee Agreement and (ii) subject to the filings described in Section 3.02(c), a perfected security interest in all Article 9 Collateral in which a security interest may be
perfected by filing, recording or registering a financing statement or analogous document in the United States (or any political subdivision thereof) and its territories and possessions pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code in the relevant
jurisdiction. The Security Interest is and shall be prior to any other Lien on any of the Article 9 Collateral, other than Liens permitted pursuant to Section 6.02 of the Credit Agreement.

the Credit Agreement. None of the Grantors has filed or consented to the filing of (i) any financing statement or analogous document under the Uniform Commercial Code (including the New York UCC) in any applicable jurisdiction or any other
applicable Laws covering any Article 9 Collateral or (ii) any assignment in which any Grantor assigns any Article 9 Collateral or any security agreement or similar instrument covering any Article 9 Collateral with any foreign governmental,
municipal or other office, which financing statement or analogous document, assignment, security agreement or similar instrument is still in effect, except, in each case, for Liens permitted pursuant to Section 6.02 of the Credit Agreement.

(c) The Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the information required pursuant to the Perfection Certificate, or confirm that
there has been no change in such information since the most recent certificate delivered pursuant to this Section 3.03(c), when and as required pursuant to Section 5.02 of the Credit Agreement. 

(d) The Borrower agrees, on its own behalf and on behalf of each other Grantor, at its own expense, to (or to cause the applicable Grantor to)
execute, acknowledge, deliver and cause to be duly filed all such further instruments and documents and take all such actions as the Administrative Agent may from time to time reasonably request to better assure, preserve, protect and perfect the
Security Interest and the rights and remedies created hereby, including the payment of any fees and taxes required in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the granting of the Security Interest and the filing of any financing
statements (including fixture filings) or other documents in connection herewith or therewith. If any amounts payable under or in connection with any of the Article 9 Collateral are owed to any Grantor and are or shall become evidenced by any

aggregate, such note or Instrument shall be promptly pledged and delivered to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, duly endorsed in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 

(e) At its option, the Administrative Agent may discharge past due taxes, assessments, charges, fees, Liens, security interests or other
encumbrances at any time levied or placed on the Article 9 Collateral and not permitted pursuant to Section 6.02 of the Credit Agreement, and may pay for the maintenance and preservation of the Article 9 Collateral to the extent any Grantor
fails to do so as required by the Credit Agreement or this Agreement, and each Grantor jointly and severally agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent within ten Business Days of demand for any such payment made or any reasonable and documented
out-of-pocket expense incurred by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the foregoing authorization. Nothing in this paragraph shall be interpreted as excusing any Grantor from the performance of, or imposing any obligation on the Administrative
Agent or any Secured Party to cure or perform, any covenants or other promises of any Grantor with respect to taxes, assessments, charges, fees, Liens, security interests or other encumbrances and maintenance as set forth herein or in the other Loan
Documents.

 (f) If at any time any Grantor shall take a security interest in any property of an Account
Debtor or any other Person to secure payment and performance of an Account, then except with respect to property that such Grantor reasonably believes, together with the amounts evidenced by a promissory note or Instrument but not required to be
pledged to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 3.03(d), do not exceed $250,000 in the aggregate, such Grantor shall promptly collaterally assign such security interest to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties.
Such collateral assignment need not be filed of public record unless necessary to continue the perfected status of the security interest against creditors of and transferees from the Account Debtor or other Person granting the security interest.

 (g) If any Grantor shall obtain an interest in any Commercial Tort Claim as to which it determines that it reasonably expects to recover
at least $250,000, such Grantor shall within ten Business Days of making such determination (or such other period reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) sign and deliver documentation acceptable to the Administrative Agent granting a
security interest under the terms and provisions of this Agreement in and to such Commercial Tort Claim. 
 (h) Upon any Grantor opening or
otherwise acquiring a Deposit Account or Securities Account (in each case other than an Excluded Account), such Grantor shall promptly take all such actions and execute and deliver all such documents and instruments as the Administrative Agent shall
reasonably request to perfect the Administrative Agent’s first priority Lien in such Collateral in a customary manner. The Administrative Agent agrees with each Grantor that the Administrative Agent shall not (i) give, or interfere with
such Grantor’s right to give, any instructions to any depositary bank or financial intermediary or (ii) withhold any withdrawal rights from any Grantor, in each case unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. 

(i) Each Grantor (rather than the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party) shall remain liable (as between itself and any relevant
counterparty) to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it under each contract, agreement or instrument relating to the Article 9 Collateral, all in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof,
and each Grantor jointly and severally agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties from and against any and all liability for such performance. 

(j) Upon occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, after notice from the Administrative Agent, such Grantor will not
without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld (i) grant any material extension of the time of payment of any Receivable required to be included in Collateral, (ii) compromise or
settle any Receivable required to be included in Collateral for less than the full amount thereof, (iii) release, wholly or partially, any Person liable for the payment of any Receivable required to be included in Collateral, (iv) allow
any credit or discount whatsoever on any Receivable required to be included in Collateral or (v) amend, supplement or modify any Receivable required to be included in Collateral in any manner that could adversely affect the value thereof except
in each case in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice. Except as the Administrative Agent may otherwise permit in writing, if such Grantor shall enter into any contract or other transaction with an Applicable Governmental
Authority (as defined below) which will result in an Applicable Governmental Authority becoming an obligor on any Receivable required to be included in Collateral of an amount greater than $250,000, such Grantor shall (i) promptly thereafter
notify the Administrative Agent thereof, (ii) provide to the Administrative Agent all such documents and instruments, and take all such actions, as shall be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent to enable the Administrative Agent to
comply with the requirements of the Federal 

  
 13 








 
Assignment of Claims Act or any other applicable requirement of Law to perfect its security interest in such Receivables and obtain the benefits of such act or law with respect thereto and
(iii) otherwise comply with its obligations under Section 3.03(d) above with respect thereto. As used in this paragraph, the term “Applicable Governmental Authority” shall mean any Governmental Authority the requirements of Law
applicable to which provide that, for a creditor of a Person to which such Governmental Authority has an obligation to pay money, whether pursuant to a Receivable, a General Intangible or otherwise, to perfect such creditor’s Lien on such
obligation and/or to obtain the full benefits of such Lien and such requirements of Law, certain notice, filing, recording or other similar actions other than the filing of a financing statement under the Uniform Commercial Code must be given,
executed, filed, recorded, delivered or completed, including, without limitation, any Federal Governmental Authority to which the Federal Assignment of Claims Act of 1940 is applicable. 

(k) Each Grantor agrees promptly, and in any event with ten Business Days, to notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any change in
locations listed on Schedule IV, including, if applicable, a written supplement to Schedule IV showing any additional locations at which any Collateral (or any books or records pertaining to the Collateral) is located. Further, no Grantor shall
permit any Collateral to be kept at a location other than those listed on Schedule IV, except for such Collateral with a value not to exceed $100,000 for any location and $300,000 in the aggregate. 

SECTION 3.04 Other Actions. In order to further insure the attachment, perfection and priority of, and the ability of the
Administrative Agent to enforce, the Security Interest, each Grantor agrees, in each case at such Grantor’s own expense, to take the following actions with respect to the following Article 9 Collateral: 

(a) Instruments. If any Grantor shall at any time hold or acquire any Instruments constituting Collateral from the Borrower and/or any
of its Subsidiaries or from any other Person and evidencing an amount, either individually or in the aggregate, in excess of $250,000, such Grantor shall promptly endorse, collaterally assign and deliver the same to the Administrative Agent for the
benefit of the Secured Parties, accompanied by such instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank as the Administrative Agent may from time to time reasonably request. 

(b) Investment Property. Except to the extent otherwise provided in Article II, if any Grantor shall at any time acquire any
certificated securities, such Grantor shall promptly endorse, collaterally assign and deliver the same to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, accompanied by such undated instruments of transfer or assignment duly
executed in blank as the Administrative Agent may from time to time reasonably request. If any securities are uncertificated and are issued to such Grantor or its nominee directly by the issuer thereof, then each applicable Grantor shall, to the
extent permitted by applicable Law, (i) cause the issuer to execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an acknowledgement of the pledge of such securities substantially in the form of Exhibit II hereto or such other form that is reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (ii) if necessary or desirable to perfect a security interest in such securities, cause such pledge to be recorded on the equityholder register or the books of the applicable issuer, execute any
customary pledge forms or other documents necessary or appropriate to complete the pledge and give the Administrative Agent the right to transfer such securities under the terms hereof, and (iii) after the occurrence and during the continuance
of any Event of Default, such Grantor shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent thereof and, at the Administrative Agent’s reasonable request, (A) cause the Organizational Documents of each such issuer to be amended to provide that
such securities shall be treated as “securities” for purposes of the New York UCC or its equivalent in other jurisdictions and (B) cause such Pledged Securities to become certificated and delivered to the Administrative Agent in
accordance with the provisions of Section 2.02(a). Promptly upon the cure or waiver of any such Event of Default, upon the request and at the expense of the applicable Grantor, the Administrative Agent shall re-register in the name of each
Grantor which 

  
 14 








 
originally made the grant hereunder any such uncertificated securities registered in the name of the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 3.04(b) and not otherwise sold or disposed
of by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the Loan Documents. 
 ARTICLE IV 

Remedies 

SECTION 4.01 Remedies Upon Default. (a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, it is agreed
that the Administrative Agent shall have the right to exercise any and all rights afforded to a secured party with respect to the Obligations under the Uniform Commercial Code (including the New York UCC) in any applicable jurisdiction or other
applicable Law and also may (i) require each Grantor to, and each Grantor agrees that it will at its expense and upon request of the Administrative Agent promptly, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by the Administrative Agent
and make it available to the Administrative Agent at a place and time to be designated by the Administrative Agent that is reasonably convenient to both parties; (ii) occupy any premises owned or, to the extent lawful and permitted, leased by
any of the Grantors where the Collateral or any part thereof is assembled or located for a reasonable period in order to effectuate its rights and remedies hereunder or under law, without obligation to such Grantor in respect of such occupation;
provided that the Administrative Agent shall provide the applicable Grantor with written notice thereof prior to such occupancy; (iii) exercise any and all rights and remedies of any of the Grantors under or in connection with the
Collateral, or otherwise in respect of the Collateral; provided that the Administrative Agent shall provide the applicable Grantor with written notice thereof prior to such exercise; and (iv) subject to the mandatory requirements of
applicable Law and the notice requirements described below, sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral securing the Obligations at a public or private sale or at any broker’s board or on any securities exchange, for cash,
upon credit or for future delivery as the Administrative Agent shall deem appropriate. The Administrative Agent shall be authorized at any such sale of securities (if it deems it advisable to do so) to restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers
to Persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing the Collateral for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or sale thereof, and upon consummation of any such sale the Administrative Agent shall have
the right to assign, transfer and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof the Collateral so sold. Each such purchaser at any sale of Collateral shall hold the property sold absolutely, free from any claim or right on the part of any Grantor,
and each Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by law) all rights of redemption, stay and appraisal which such Grantor now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. 

(b) The Administrative Agent shall give the applicable Grantors ten Business Days’ written notice (which each Grantor agrees is
reasonable notice within the meaning of Section 9-611 of the New York UCC or its equivalent in other jurisdictions) of the Administrative Agent’s intention to make any sale of Collateral. Such notice, in the case of a public sale, shall
state the time and place for such sale and, in the case of a sale at a broker’s board or on a securities exchange, shall state the board or exchange at which such sale is to be made and the day on which the Collateral, or portion thereof, will
first be offered for sale at such board or exchange. Any such public sale shall be held at such time or times within ordinary business hours and at such place or places as the Administrative Agent may fix and state in the notice (if any) of such
sale. At any such sale, the Collateral, or portion thereof, to be sold may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels, as the Administrative Agent may (in its reasonable discretion) determine. The Administrative Agent shall not be
obligated to make any sale of any Collateral if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale of such Collateral shall have been given. The Administrative Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or
private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for 

  
 15 








 
sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which the same was so adjourned. In case any sale of all or any part of the Collateral is made on credit or for
future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by the Administrative Agent until the sale price is paid by the purchaser or purchasers thereof, but the Administrative Agent shall not incur any liability in case any such purchaser or
purchasers shall fail to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold and, in case of any such failure, such Collateral may be sold again upon like notice. At any public (or, to the extent permitted by law, private) sale made pursuant to this
Agreement, any Secured Party may bid for or purchase, free (to the extent permitted by law) from any right of redemption, stay, valuation or appraisal on the part of any Grantor (all said rights being also hereby waived and released to the extent
permitted by law), the Collateral or any part thereof offered for sale and may make payment on account thereof by using any claim then due and payable to such Secured Party from any Grantor as a credit against the purchase price, and such Secured
Party may, upon compliance with the terms of sale, hold, retain and dispose of such property without further accountability to any Grantor therefor. For purposes hereof, a written agreement to purchase the Collateral or any portion thereof shall be
treated as a sale thereof; the Administrative Agent shall be free to carry out such sale pursuant to such agreement and no Grantor shall be entitled to the return of the Collateral or any portion thereof subject thereto, notwithstanding the fact
that after the Administrative Agent shall have entered into such an agreement all Events of Default shall have been remedied and the Obligations paid in full. As an alternative to exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, the
Administrative Agent may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose this Agreement and to sell the Collateral or any portion thereof pursuant to a judgment or decree of a court or courts having competent jurisdiction or pursuant to
a proceeding by a court appointed receiver. Any sale pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4.01 shall be deemed to conform to the commercially reasonable standards as provided in Section 9-610(b) of the New York UCC or its equivalent
in other jurisdictions. 
 SECTION 4.02 Application of Proceeds. 

(a) The Administrative Agent shall apply the proceeds of any collection or sale of Collateral, including any Collateral consisting of cash, in
accordance with Section 7.03 of the Credit Agreement. 
 (b) The Administrative Agent shall have absolute discretion as to the time of
application of any such proceeds, moneys or balances in accordance with this Agreement. Upon any sale of Collateral by the Administrative Agent (including pursuant to a power of sale granted by statute or under a judicial proceeding), the receipt of
the purchase money therefor by the Administrative Agent or of the officer making the sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Collateral so sold and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the
application of any part of the purchase money paid over to the Administrative Agent or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication thereof. 

SECTION 4.03 Certain Matters Relating to Receivables. 

(a) The Administrative Agent shall have the right, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at any time to make test
verifications of the Receivables in any manner and through any medium that it reasonably considers advisable, and each Grantor shall furnish all such assistance and information as the Administrative Agent may reasonably require in connection with
such test verifications. 
 (b) The Administrative Agent hereby authorizes each Grantor to collect such Grantor’s Receivables required
to be included in Collateral, provided that the Administrative Agent may curtail or terminate said authority at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event 

  
 16 








 
of Default. If required by the Administrative Agent at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, any
payments of such Receivables, when collected by any Grantor, (i) shall be forthwith (and, in any event, within ten Business Days) deposited by such Grantor in the exact form received, duly indorsed by such Grantor to the Administrative Agent if
required, in an account maintained under the sole dominion and control of the Administrative Agent, subject to withdrawal by the Administrative Agent for the account of the Secured Parties only as provided in Section 4.02, and (ii) until
so turned over, shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Grantor. Each such deposit of Proceeds of Receivables required to be included in Collateral shall be
accompanied by a report identifying in reasonable detail the nature and source of the payments included in the deposit. 
 (c) At the
Administrative Agent’s request at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor shall deliver to the Administrative Agent all original and other documents evidencing, and relating to, the
agreements and transactions which gave rise to the Receivables required to be included in Collateral, including, without limitation, all original orders, invoices and shipping receipts. 

(d) The Administrative Agent in its own name or in the name of others may at any time when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
communicate with obligors under the Receivables required to be included in Collateral to verify with them to the Administrative Agent’s satisfaction the existence, amount and terms of any such Receivables. 

(e) Upon the request of the Administrative Agent at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, each Grantor shall notify obligors on the Receivables required to be included in Collateral that such Receivables have been assigned to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured
Parties and that payments in respect thereof shall be made directly to the Administrative Agent. 
 (f) Anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, each Grantor shall remain liable under each of the Receivables required to be included in Collateral to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder, all in accordance with the
terms of any agreement giving rise thereto. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability under any such Receivable (or any agreement giving rise thereto) by reason of or arising out of this Agreement
or the receipt by the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party of any payment relating thereto, nor shall the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party be obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of any Grantor under or pursuant to
any such Receivable (or any agreement giving rise thereto), to make any payment, to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or as to the sufficiency of any performance by any party thereunder, to present or
file any claim, to take any action to enforce any performance or to collect the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times. 

ARTICLE V 
 Subrogation and
Subordination 
 SECTION 5.01 Contribution and Subrogation. Each Grantor (a “Contributing Party”) agrees
(subject to Section 5.02) that, in the event assets of any other Grantor (the “Claiming Party”) shall be sold pursuant to any Collateral Document to satisfy any Obligation owed to any Secured Party, the Contributing Party shall
indemnify the Claiming Party in an amount equal to the greater of the book value or the fair market value of such assets, in each case multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall 

  
 17 








 
be the net worth of the Contributing Party on the date hereof and the denominator shall be the aggregate net worth of all the Contributing Parties together with the net worth of the Claiming
Party on the date hereof (or, in the case of any Grantor becoming a party hereto pursuant to Section 6.14, the date of the Collateral Agreement Supplement executed and delivered by such Grantor). Any Contributing Party making any payment to a
Claiming Party pursuant to this Section 5.01 shall be subrogated to the rights of such Claiming Party to the extent of such payment. 

SECTION 5.02 Subordination. 

(a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, all rights of the Grantors under Section 5.01 and all other rights
of indemnity, contribution or subrogation under applicable Law or otherwise shall be fully subordinated to the payment in full in cash of the Obligations (other than contingent obligations for which no claim or other demand has been made). No
failure on the part of any Grantor to make the payments required by Section 5.01 (or any other payments required under applicable Law or otherwise) shall in any respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Grantor with respect to its
obligations hereunder, and each Grantor shall remain liable for the full amount of the obligations of such Grantor hereunder. 
 (b) Each
Grantor hereby agrees that all Indebtedness owed to it by any Subsidiary shall be fully subordinated to the payment in full in cash of the Obligations (other than contingent obligations for which no claim or other demand has been made). 

ARTICLE VI 
 Miscellaneous

 SECTION 6.01 Notices. Except in the case of notices and other communications expressly permitted to be given by
telephone, all notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing and shall be delivered by hand or overnight courier, mailed by certified or registered mail or sent by fax or other electronic transmission (i) if to any
Grantor, addressed to it in care of the Borrower at the Borrower’s address specified on Schedule 9.01 to the Credit Agreement, (ii) if to any Agent or any Lender, at its address specified in Schedule 9.01 to the Credit Agreement,
(iii) if to any Hedge Bank, at its address specified in the Secured Hedge Agreement to which it is a party, (iv) if to any Cash Management Bank, at its address specified in the Cash Management Documents to which it is a party or
(v) as to any party, at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to each other party. All such notices and other communications shall be deemed to be given or made as provided in Section 9.01 of the
Credit Agreement. 
 SECTION 6.02 Waivers; Amendment. 

(a) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, any other Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power
hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, any other Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not
exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by any Grantor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph
(b) of this Section 6.02, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or


  
 18 








 
issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any other Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank may have had
notice or knowledge of such Default at the time. No notice or demand on any Grantor in any case shall entitle any Grantor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. 

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in
writing entered into by the Administrative Agent and the Grantor or Grantors with respect to which such waiver, amendment or modification is to apply, subject to any consent required in accordance with Section 9.02 of the Credit Agreement. 

SECTION 6.03 Administrative Agent’s Fees and Expenses; Indemnification. 

(a) The parties hereto agree that the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to reimbursement of any and all of its reasonable and documented
out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement of any rights or remedies under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. 

(b) The parties hereto agree that the Administrative Agent and the other Indemnitees (as defined in Section 9.03 of the Credit Agreement)
shall be entitled to indemnification as provided in Section 9.03 of the Credit Agreement as if such section were set out in full herein and references to the “Borrower” therein were references to each Grantor, and each Grantor hereby
waives all liabilities against the Administrative Agent and each Secured Party as if Indemnitees and the other Secured Parties to the extent set forth in Section 9.03 of the Credit Agreement. 

(c) Any such amounts payable as provided hereunder shall be additional Obligations secured hereby and by the other Collateral Documents. The
provisions of this Section 6.03 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of
the Obligations, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party. All amounts due under this
Section 6.03 shall be payable within ten Business Days of written demand therefor. 
 SECTION 6.04 Successors and Assigns.
Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the permitted successors and assigns of such party; and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of any Grantor or the
Administrative Agent that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective permitted successors and assigns. 

SECTION 6.05 Survival of Agreement. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Grantors in
the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Lenders and shall survive the
execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any Lender or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, any other Agent,
any Issuing Bank or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended under the Credit Agreement, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the
principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under any Loan Document is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. 

  
 19 








 SECTION 6.06 Counterparts; Effectiveness; Several Agreement. This Agreement may be
executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. Delivery of an executed signature page to this
Agreement by facsimile transmission or other electronic communication shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Agreement. This Agreement shall become effective as to any Grantor when a counterpart hereof executed on
behalf of such Grantor shall have been delivered to the Administrative Agent and a counterpart hereof shall have been executed on behalf of the Administrative Agent, and thereafter shall be binding upon such Grantor and the Administrative Agent and
their respective permitted successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of such Grantor, the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns, except that no Grantor shall have the
right to assign or transfer its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein or in the Collateral (and any such assignment or transfer shall be void) except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement or the Credit Agreement. This
Agreement shall be construed as a separate agreement with respect to each Grantor and may be amended, modified, supplemented, waived or released with respect to any Grantor without the approval of any other Grantor and without affecting the
obligations of any other Grantor hereunder. 
 SECTION 6.07 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid,
illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions
hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. The parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable
provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions. 

SECTION 6.08 Right of Set-Off. In addition to any rights and remedies of the Agents and the Lenders provided under applicable Law,
upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Agent, each Lender, each Issuing Bank and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time, and from time to time, without notice to any Loan Party, to
the fullest extent permitted by Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Agent, such Lender, such Issuing Bank or such
Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Grantor against any and all of the Obligations of such Grantor now or hereafter due and owing under the Loan Documents, irrespective of whether such Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank shall
have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations may be contingent or unmatured or such obligations are owed to a branch or office of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or Issuing Bank different
from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such Indebtedness. Each Agent, each Lender and each Issuing Bank shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of such setoff and application; provided that any failure
to give or any delay in giving such notice shall not affect the validity of any such setoff and application under this Section 11. The rights of the each Agent, each Lender, each Issuing Bank and their respective Affiliates under this
Section 11 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that each Agent, such Lender, such Issuing Bank and their respective Affiliates may have.

 FORM OF COLLATERAL AGREEMENT SUPPLEMENT 

SUPPLEMENT NO. [    ] (this “Supplement”), dated as of
[                    ], to that certain Collateral Agreement, dated as of June 19, 2014, by and among LMI AEROSPACE, INC., a Missouri
corporation (the “Borrower”), certain subsidiaries of the Borrower from time to time party thereto and ROYAL BANK OF CANADA (“Royal Bank”), as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative
Agent”) for the Secured Parties (as defined in the Credit Agreement (as defined below)). 
 A. Reference is made to that certain
Credit Agreement, dated as of June 19, 2014 (as amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, Royal Bank and Wells
Fargo Bank, National Association, as Co-Collateral Agents and the Lenders and Issuing Banks from time to time party thereto (the “Lenders”). 

B. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement and
the Collateral Agreement, as applicable. 
 C. The Grantors have entered into the Collateral Agreement in order to induce the Lenders to
extend credit, the Issuing Banks to issue Letters of Credit, the Hedge Banks to enter into the Secured Hedge Agreements and the Cash Management Banks to enter into arrangements relating to Cash Management Obligations. Section 6.14 of the
Collateral Agreement and Section 5.12 of the Credit Agreement provide that certain Persons may become Grantors under the Collateral Agreement by execution and delivery of an instrument in the form of this Supplement. The undersigned Person (the
“New Grantor”) is executing this Supplement in accordance with the requirements of the Credit Agreement to become a Grantor under the Collateral Agreement in order to induce the Lenders to make Loans, the Issuing Banks to issue
Letters of Credit, the Hedge Banks to enter into Secured Hedge Agreements, the Cash Management Banks to enter into arrangements relating to Cash Management Obligations and as consideration for the Loans previously made, Letters of Credit previously
issued, Secured Hedge Agreements previously entered into and arrangements relating to Cash Management Obligations previously entered into. 

Accordingly, the Administrative Agent and the New Grantor agree as follows: 

SECTION 1. In accordance with Section 6.14 of the Collateral Agreement, the New Grantor by its signature below becomes a Grantor under
the Collateral Agreement with the same force and effect as if originally named therein as a Grantor and the New Grantor hereby (a) agrees to all the terms and provisions of the Collateral Agreement applicable to it as a Grantor thereunder and
(b) represents and warrants that the representations and warranties made by it as a Grantor thereunder are true and correct on and as of the date hereof. In furtherance of the foregoing, the New Grantor, as security for the payment and
performance in full of the Obligations does hereby create and grant to the Administrative Agent, its permitted successors and assigns, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, their permitted successors and assigns, a security interest in and lien on
all of the New Grantor’s right, title and interest in and to the Collateral (as defined in the Collateral Agreement) of the New Grantor. Each reference to a “Grantor” in the Collateral Agreement shall be deemed to include the
New Grantor. The Collateral Agreement is hereby incorporated herein by reference. 
 SECTION 2. The New Grantor represents and warrants to
the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties that this Supplement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by it and constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except
as such enforceability may be limited by Debtor Relief Laws and by general principles of equity (whether considered in a proceeding at law or in equity). 







 SECTION 3. This Supplement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on
different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Supplement shall become effective when the Administrative Agent shall have received a counterpart of
this Supplement that bears the signature of the New Grantor, and the Administrative Agent has executed a counterpart hereof. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Supplement by facsimile transmission or other electronic communication shall
be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Supplement. 
 SECTION 4. The New Grantor hereby represents and
warrants that (a) set forth on Schedule I attached hereto is a true and correct schedule of the Pledged Collateral, (b) set forth under its signature hereto is the true and correct legal name of the New Grantor, its jurisdiction of
formation and the location of its chief executive office and (c) set forth on Schedule II attached hereto is a true and correct schedule of all Commercial Tort Claims in which the New Grantor has any rights. 

SECTION 5. The grant of a security interest in the Collateral by the New Grantor under this Supplement secures the payment of all Obligations
of such New Grantor now or hereafter existing under, or in respect of, the Loan Documents, whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, and whether for principal, reimbursement obligations, interest, premiums, penalties, fees,
indemnifications, contract causes of action, costs, expenses or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this Supplement secures the payment of all amounts that constitute part of the Obligations and that would be owed by such
New Grantor to any Secured Party under the Loan Documents but for the fact that such Obligations are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving a Loan Party. 

SECTION 6. This Supplement has been entered into in conjunction with the provisions of the Collateral Agreement. The New Grantor does hereby
acknowledge and confirm that the grant of the security interest hereunder to, and the rights and remedies of, the Administrative Agent with respect to the Collateral are more fully set forth in the Collateral Agreement, the terms and provisions of
which are incorporated herein by reference as if fully set forth herein. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Supplement and the terms of the Collateral Agreement, the terms of the Collateral Agreement shall govern. 

SECTION 7. Except as expressly supplemented hereby, the Collateral Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. 

SECTION 8. THIS SUPPLEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 

SECTION 9. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Supplement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any
respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and in the Collateral Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision
in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties hereto shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with
valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions. 







 SECTION 10. All communications and notices hereunder shall be in writing and given as provided in
Section 6.01 of the Collateral Agreement. 
 SECTION 11. Reimbursement of the Administrative Agent’s expenses under this
Supplement shall be governed by the applicable sections of the Collateral Agreement. 
 [SIGNATURE PAGES TO FOLLOW] 







 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the New Grantor and the Administrative Agent have duly executed this
Supplement to the Collateral Agreement as of the day and year first above written.

successors and assigns, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest (the “Security Interest”) in all right, title and interest in, to and under any and all of the following assets and properties now owned or at any
time hereafter acquired by such Grantor or in which such Grantor now has or at any time in the future may acquire any right, title or interest (collectively, the “Collateral”): 

(i) all Copyrights; 

(ii) all Patents; 

(iii) all Trademarks; 

(iv) all Licenses; 

(v) all other Intellectual Property; and 

(vi) to the extent not otherwise included, all proceeds and products of any and all of the foregoing and all supporting
obligations, collateral security and guarantees given by any Person with respect to any of the foregoing. 
 provided that notwithstanding any of the
other provisions herein (and notwithstanding any recording of the Administrative Agent’s Lien made in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, U.S. Copyright Office, or other registry office in any other jurisdiction), this Agreement shall not
constitute a grant of a security interest in (a) any lease, license or other agreement or any property subject to a similar arrangement which is permitted under the Loan Documents to the extent that a grant of a security interest therein would
violate or invalidate such lease, license, agreement or arrangement or create a right of termination in favor 

  
 3 








 
of any party thereto (other than a Loan Party) after giving effect to the applicable anti-assignment provisions of the applicable Law (including the Uniform Commercial Code) or (b) any
property to the extent that such grant of a security interest is prohibited by law or by agreements containing anti-assignment clauses not overridden by applicable Law (including the Uniform Commercial Code) or would result in the forfeiture of the
Grantor’s rights in any Trademark applications filed in the United States Patent and Trademark Office on the basis of such Grantor’s “intent-to-use” such trademark, unless and until acceptable evidence of use of the Trademark has
been filed with and accepted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office pursuant to Section 1(c) or Section 1(d) of the Lanham Act (15 U.S.C. 1051, et seq.), to the extent that granting a lien in such Trademark application prior to
such filing would adversely affect the enforceability or validity of such Trademark application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, immediately upon the ineffectiveness, lapse or termination of any restriction or condition set forth in
this paragraph, the Collateral shall include, and the Borrower shall be deemed to have granted a security in, all relevant previously restricted or conditioned rights, interests or other assets, as the case may be, as if such restriction or
condition had never been in effect. 
 (b) Each Grantor hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the
Secured Parties at any time and from time to time to file in any relevant jurisdiction any initial financing statements with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof and amendments thereto that (i) describe the collateral covered thereby
in any manner that the Administrative Agent reasonably determines is necessary or advisable to ensure the perfection of the security interest in the Collateral granted under this Agreement and (ii) contain the information required by Article 9 of
the Uniform Commercial Code or the analogous legislation of each applicable jurisdiction for the filing of any financing statement or amendment, including whether such Grantor is an organization, the type of organization and any organizational
identification number issued to such Grantor. Each Grantor agrees to provide such information to the Administrative Agent promptly upon request. 

The Administrative Agent is further authorized to file with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or United States Copyright Office
(or any successor office or any similar office in any other country) such documents as may be necessary or advisable for the purpose of perfecting, confirming, continuing, enforcing or protecting the Security Interest granted by each Grantor,
without the signature of any Grantor (only if such signature cannot reasonably be obtained by the Administrative Agent), and naming any Grantor or the Grantors as debtors and the Administrative Agent as secured party. 

(c) The Security Interest is granted as security only and shall not subject the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to, or in any
way alter or modify, any obligation or liability of any Grantor with respect to or arising out of the Collateral. 
 (d) The grant of a
security interest in the Collateral by each Grantor under this Agreement secures the payment of all Obligations of such Grantor now or hereafter existing under, or in respect of, the Loan Documents, whether direct or indirect, absolute or
contingent, and whether for principal, reimbursement obligations, interest, premiums, penalties, fees, indemnifications, contract causes of action, costs, expenses or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this Agreement
secures the payment of all amounts that constitute part of the Obligations and that would be owed by such Grantor to any Secured Party under the Loan Documents but for the fact that such Obligations are unenforceable or not allowable due to the
existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving a Loan Party.

 SECTION 2.02. Representations and Warranties. Each Grantor jointly and severally
represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties that: 
 (a) Schedule I hereto sets forth a list of all
registrations and applications for registration of Copyrights, Patents and Trademarks owned as of the date hereof by each Grantor. Each Grantor has good and valid rights in and title to the Collateral with respect to which it has purported to grant
a Security Interest hereunder and has full power and authority to grant to the Administrative Agent the Security Interest in such Collateral pursuant hereto and to execute, deliver and perform its obligations in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement, without the consent or approval of any other Person other than any consent or approval that has been obtained and is in full force and effect. 

(b) The Perfection Certificate has been duly prepared, completed and executed and the information set forth therein, including the exact legal
name of each Grantor, is correct and complete in all material respects as of the Effective Date. 
 (c) The Uniform Commercial Code
financing statements or other appropriate filings, recordings or registrations prepared by the Administrative Agent based upon the information provided to the Administrative Agent in the Perfection Certificate for filing in each governmental,
municipal or other office specified in the Perfection Certificate (or specified by notice from such Grantor to the Administrative Agent after the Effective Date in the case of filings, recordings or registrations required by Section 5.12 of the
Credit Agreement), are all the filings, recordings and registrations (other than filings required to be made in the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office in order to perfect the Security Interest in
Collateral consisting of United States registrations and applications for Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights) that are necessary to establish a legal, valid and perfected security interest in favor of the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the
Secured Parties) in respect of all Collateral in which the Security Interest may be perfected by filing, recording or registration in the United States (or any political subdivision thereof) and its territories and possessions, and no further or
subsequent filing, refiling, recording, rerecording, registration or reregistration is necessary in any such jurisdiction, except as provided under applicable Law with respect to the filing of continuation statements. 

(d) Each Grantor represents and warrants that a fully executed agreement in the form of Exhibit I hereto and containing a description of all
Collateral consisting of United States Patents and United States registered Trademarks (and Trademarks for which United States registration applications are pending) and United States registered Copyrights has been delivered to the Administrative
Agent for recording by the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 261, 15 U.S.C. § 1060 or 17 U.S.C. § 205 and the regulations thereunder, as applicable, to
establish a valid and perfected security interest in favor of the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) in respect of all Collateral consisting of registrations and applications for Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights in which
a security interest may be perfected by filing, recording or registration in the United States (or any political subdivision thereof) and its territories and possessions under the Federal intellectual property laws, and no further or subsequent
filing, refilling, recording, rerecording, registration or reregistration is necessary (other than (i) such filings and actions as are necessary to perfect the Security Interest with respect to any Collateral consisting of registrations and
applications for Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights acquired or developed by any Grantor after the date hereof, (ii) such actions as may be required under the laws of jurisdictions outside the United States with respect to Collateral created
under such laws, and (iii) the filing of Uniform Commercial Code financing and continuation statements contemplated in Section 2.02(c)). 

(e) The Security Interest constitutes (i) a legal and valid security interest in all the Collateral securing the payment and performance
of the Obligations, including the obligations under 

  
 5 








 
Guarantee Agreement, (ii) subject to the filings described in Section 2.02(c) and (d), a perfected security interest in all Collateral in which a security interest may be perfected by
filing, recording or registering a financing statement or analogous document in the United States (or any political subdivision thereof) and its territories and possessions pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code and (iii) a security interest
that shall be perfected in all Collateral in which a security interest may be perfected upon the receipt and recording of this Agreement (or a fully executed short form agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative
Agent and the Borrower) with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office, as applicable, within the three-month period (commencing as of the date hereof) pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 261 or 15 U.S.C. §
1060 or the one-month period (commencing as of the date hereof) pursuant to 17 U.S.C. § 205 and otherwise as may be required pursuant to the laws of any other necessary jurisdiction. The Security Interest is and shall be prior to any other
Lien on any of the Collateral, other than Liens permitted pursuant to Section 6.02 of the Credit Agreement. 
 (f) The Collateral is
owned by the Grantors free and clear of any Lien, except for Liens permitted pursuant to Section 6.02 of the Credit Agreement. None of the Grantors has filed or consented to the filing of (i) any financing statement or analogous document
under the Uniform Commercial Code or any other applicable Laws covering any Collateral, (ii) any assignment in which any Grantor assigns any Collateral or any security agreement or similar instrument covering any Collateral with the United
States Patent and Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office or (iii) any assignment in which any Grantor assigns any Collateral or any security agreement or similar instrument covering any Collateral with any foreign governmental,
municipal or other office, which financing statement or analogous document, assignment, security agreement or similar instrument is still in effect, except, in each case, for Liens permitted pursuant to Section 6.02 of the Credit Agreement.

 (g) This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by each Grantor that is party hereto. This Agreement constitutes a legal, valid
and binding obligation of such Grantor, enforceable against each Grantor that is party hereto in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by Debtor Relief Laws and by general principles of equity (whether considered in
a proceeding at law or in equity). 
 SECTION 2.03. Covenants. 

(a) Each Grantor agrees promptly, and in any event within ten Business Days, to notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any change
(i) in legal name of any Grantor, (ii) in the identity or type of organization or corporate structure of any Grantor or (iii) in the jurisdiction of organization of any Grantor. 

(b) Each Grantor shall, at its own expense, take any and all commercially reasonable actions necessary to defend title to the Collateral
against all Persons and to defend the Security Interest of the Administrative Agent in the Collateral and the priority thereof against any Lien not expressly permitted pursuant to Section 6.02 of the Credit Agreement. 

(c) The Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the information required pursuant to the Perfection Certificate or confirm that
there has been no change in such information since the most recent certificate delivered pursuant to this Section 2.03(c), when and as required pursuant to Section 5.02 of the Credit Agreement. 

(d) The Borrower agrees, on its own behalf and on behalf of each other Grantor, at its own expense, to (or to cause the applicable Grantor to)
execute, acknowledge, deliver and cause to be duly filed all such further instruments and documents and take all such actions as the Administrative 

  
 6 








 
Agent may from time to time reasonably request to better assure, preserve, protect and perfect the Security Interest and the rights and remedies created hereby, including the payment of any fees
and taxes required in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the granting of the Security Interest and the filing of any financing statements or other documents in connection herewith or therewith. If any amount payable under
or in connection with any of the Collateral is owed by the Borrower and/or any of its Subsidiaries or is owed by any other Person it shall be or become evidenced by any promissory note or other instrument, such note or instrument shall be promptly
pledged and delivered to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, duly endorsed in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 

(e) At its option, the Administrative Agent may discharge past due taxes, assessments, charges, fees, Liens, security interests or other
encumbrances at any time levied or placed on the Collateral and not permitted pursuant to Section 6.02 of the Credit Agreement, and may pay for the maintenance and preservation of the Collateral to the extent any Grantor fails to do so as
required by the Credit Agreement or this Agreement, and each Grantor jointly and severally agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent within ten Business Days of demand for any such payment made or any reasonable and documented expense incurred by
the Administrative Agent pursuant to the foregoing authorization; provided, however, Grantors shall not be obligated to reimburse the Administrative Agent with respect to any Intellectual Property Collateral which any Grantor has failed to
maintain or pursue, or otherwise allowed to lapse, terminate or be put into the public domain, in accordance with Section 2.04(b). Nothing in this paragraph shall be interpreted as excusing any Grantor from the performance of, or imposing any
obligation on the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party to cure or perform, any covenants or other promises of any Grantor with respect to taxes, assessments, charges, fees, Liens, security interests or other encumbrances and maintenance as set
forth herein or in the other Loan Documents. 
 (f) Each Grantor (rather than the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party) shall remain
liable (as between itself and any relevant counterparty) to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it under each contract, agreement or instrument relating to the Collateral, all in accordance with the
terms and conditions thereof, and each Grantor jointly and severally agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties from and against any and all liability for such performance. 

SECTION 2.04. Additional Covenants. 

(a) Except to the extent failure to act could not reasonably be expected, either individually or in the aggregate, to materially and adversely
affect the business and operations of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries (taken as a whole) or the aggregate value of the Collateral, with respect to any registration or pending application of each item of its Collateral for which such Grantor has
standing to do so, each Grantor agrees to take, at its expense, all reasonable steps, including, without limitation, in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, the U.S. Copyright Office and any other governmental authority located in the United
States, to (i) maintain the validity and enforceability of any registered Collateral (or applications therefore) in full force and effect, and (ii) pursue the registration and maintenance of each Patent, Trademark, or Copyright
registration or application, now or hereafter included in such Collateral of such Grantor, including, without limitation, the payment of required fees and taxes, the filing of responses to office actions issued by the U.S. Patent and Trademark
Office, the U.S. Copyright Office or other governmental authorities, the filing of applications for renewal or extension, the filing of affidavits under Sections 8 and 15 or the U.S. Trademark Act, the filing of divisional, continuation,
continuation-in-part, reissue and renewal applications or extensions, the payment of maintenance fees and the participation in interference, reexamination, opposition, cancellation, infringement and misappropriation proceedings. 

  
 7 








 (b) Except as could not reasonably be expected, either individually or in the aggregate, to
materially and adversely affect the business and operations of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or the aggregate value of the Collateral, no Grantor shall do or permit any act or knowingly omit to do any act whereby any of its Collateral may
prematurely lapse, be terminated, or become invalid or unenforceable or placed in the public domain (or in the case of a trade secret, becomes publicly known). 

(c) Except as could not reasonably be expected, either individually or in the aggregate, to materially and adversely affect the business and
operations of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or the aggregate value of the Collateral, each Grantor shall take all commercially reasonable steps to preserve and protect each item of its Collateral, including, without limitation, maintaining
the quality of any and all products or services used or provided in connection with any of the Trademarks, consistent with the quality of the products and services as of the date hereof. 

(d) Each Grantor agrees that, should it obtain an ownership or other interest in any Collateral after the Effective Date
(“After-Acquired Intellectual Property”) (i) the provisions of this Agreement shall automatically apply thereto and (ii) any such After-Acquired Intellectual Property shall automatically become part of the Collateral
subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement with respect thereto. 
 (e) At the reasonable request of the Administrative Agent,
with respect to issued or registered Patents (or published applications therefor), registered Trademarks (or applications therefor), and registered Copyrights (or applications therefor), each Grantor shall sign and deliver to the Administrative
Agent an appropriate supplement to this Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit II hereto with respect to all such Intellectual Property owned by it as of the last day of the most recently completed Fiscal Quarter, to the extent that such
Intellectual Property is not covered by this Agreement or any previous Intellectual Property Security Agreement Supplement so signed and delivered by it. In each case, it will promptly and reasonably cooperate as necessary to enable the
Administrative Agent to make any necessary or reasonably desirable recordations with the U.S. Copyright Office or the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, as appropriate. 

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, nothing in this Agreement prevents any Grantor from disposing of, discontinuing
the use or maintenance of, failing to pursue, or otherwise allowing to lapse, terminate or be put into the public domain, any of its Collateral to the extent permitted by the Credit Agreement if such Grantor determines in its reasonable business
judgment that any of the foregoing is desirable in the conduct of its business. 
 ARTICLE III 

REMEDIES 
 SECTION 3.01.
Remedies Upon Default. (a) If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, each Grantor agrees to deliver each item of Collateral to the Administrative Agent on demand, and it is agreed that the Administrative Agent shall have the
right, at the same or different times, with respect to any Collateral, on demand, to cause the Security Interest to become an assignment, transfer and conveyance of any of or all such Collateral by the applicable Grantors to the Administrative
Agent, or to license or sublicense, whether general, special or otherwise, and whether on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis, any such Collateral throughout the world on such terms and conditions and in such manner as the Administrative Agent shall
determine (other than in violation of any then-existing licensing arrangements to the extent that waivers cannot be obtained), and, generally, to exercise any and all rights afforded to a secured party with respect to the Obligations under the
Uniform Commercial Code 

  
 8 








 
(including the New York UCC) in any applicable jurisdiction or other applicable Law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor agrees that the Administrative Agent shall have
the right, subject to the mandatory requirements of applicable Law and the notice requirements described below, to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral securing the Obligations at a public or private sale, for cash, upon
credit or for future delivery as the Administrative Agent shall deem appropriate. Each such purchaser at any sale of Collateral shall hold the property sold absolutely, free from any claim or right on the part of any Grantor, and each Grantor hereby
waives all rights of redemption, stay and appraisal which such Grantor now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. 

(b) The Administrative Agent shall give the applicable Grantors ten Business Days’ written notice (which each Grantor agrees is
reasonable notice within the meaning of Section 9-611 of the New York UCC or its equivalent in other jurisdictions) of the Administrative Agent’s intention to make any sale of Collateral. Such notice, in the case of a public sale, shall
state the time and place for such sale. Any such public sale shall be held at such time or times within ordinary business hours and at such place or places as the Administrative Agent may fix and state in the notice (if any) of such sale. At any
such sale, the Collateral, or portion thereof, to be sold may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels, as the Administrative Agent may (in its reasonable discretion) determine. The Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make
any sale of any Collateral if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale of such Collateral shall have been given. The Administrative Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or
cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which the same was so adjourned. In case any sale of all or any part
of the Collateral is made on credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by the Administrative Agent until the sale price is paid by the purchaser or purchasers thereof, but the Administrative Agent shall not incur any
liability in case any such purchaser or purchasers shall fail to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold and, in case of any such failure, such Collateral may be sold again upon like notice. At any public (or, to the extent permitted by law,
private) sale made pursuant to this Agreement, any Secured Party may bid for or purchase, free (to the extent permitted by law) from any right of redemption, stay, valuation or appraisal on the part of any Grantor (all said rights being also hereby
waived and released to the extent permitted by law), the Collateral or any part thereof offered for sale and may make payment on account thereof by using any claim then due and payable to such Secured Party from any Grantor as a credit against the
purchase price, and such Secured Party may, upon compliance with the terms of sale, hold, retain and dispose of such property without further accountability to any Grantor therefor. For purposes hereof, a written agreement to purchase the Collateral
or any portion thereof shall be treated as a sale thereof; the Administrative Agent shall be free to carry out such sale pursuant to such agreement and no Grantor shall be entitled to the return of the Collateral or any portion thereof subject
thereto, notwithstanding the fact that after the Administrative Agent shall have entered into such an agreement all Events of Default shall have been remedied and the Obligations paid in full. As an alternative to exercising the power of sale herein
conferred upon it, the Administrative Agent may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose this Agreement and to sell the Collateral or any portion thereof pursuant to a judgment or decree of a court or courts having competent
jurisdiction or pursuant to a proceeding by a court-appointed receiver. Any sale pursuant to the provisions of this Section 3.01 shall be deemed to conform to the commercially reasonable standards as provided in Section 9-610(b) of the New
York UCC or its equivalent in other jurisdictions. 
 SECTION 3.02. Application of Proceeds. 

(a) The Administrative Agent shall apply the proceeds of any collection or sale of Collateral, including any Collateral consisting of cash, in
accordance with Section 7.03 of the Credit Agreement. 

  
 9 








 (b) The Administrative Agent shall have absolute discretion as to the time of application of any
such proceeds, moneys or balances in accordance with this Agreement. Upon any sale of Collateral by the Administrative Agent (including pursuant to a power of sale granted by statute or under a judicial proceeding), the receipt of the purchase money
therefor by the Administrative Agent or of the officer making the sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Collateral so sold and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any
part of the purchase money paid over to the Administrative Agent or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication thereof. 

(c) In making the determinations and allocations required by this Section 3.02, the Administrative Agent may conclusively rely upon
information supplied by the Administrative Agent as to the amounts of unpaid principal and interest and other amounts outstanding with respect to the Obligations, and the Administrative Agent shall have no liability to any of the Secured Parties for
actions taken in reliance on such information, provided that nothing in this sentence shall prevent any Grantor from contesting any amounts claimed by any Secured Party in any information so supplied. All distributions made by the
Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 3.02 shall be (subject to any decree of any court of competent jurisdiction) final (absent manifest error), and the Administrative Agent shall have no duty to inquire as to the application by the
Administrative Agent of any amounts distributed to it. 
 SECTION 3.03. Grant of License to Use Intellectual Property. For the
purpose of enabling the Administrative Agent to exercise rights and remedies under this Agreement at such time as the Administrative Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, each Grantor shall, upon request by the
Administrative Agent at any time after and during the continuance of an Event of Default, grant to the Administrative Agent an irrevocable (until the Termination Date), nonexclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other
compensation to any such Grantor) to use, license or, solely to the extent necessary to exercise such rights and remedies, sublicense any of the Collateral now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor, and wherever the same may be located, and
including in such license reasonable access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof; provided, however, that
nothing in this Section 3.03 shall require any Grantor to grant any license that is prohibited by any rule of law, statute or regulation or is prohibited by, or constitutes a breach or default under or results in the termination of or gives
rise to any right of acceleration, modification or cancellation under any contract, license, agreement, instrument or other document evidencing, giving rise to a right to use or theretofore granted, to the extent permitted by the Credit Agreement,
with respect to such property; provided, further, that such licenses to be granted hereunder with respect to Trademarks shall be subject to the maintenance of quality standards with respect to the goods and services on which such
Trademarks are used sufficient to preserve the validity and, in all material respects, the aggregate value of such Trademarks. The use of such license by the Administrative Agent may be exercised, at the option of the Administrative Agent, during
the continuation of an Event of Default; provided that any permitted license, sublicense or other transaction entered into by the Administrative Agent in accordance herewith shall be binding upon the Grantors notwithstanding any subsequent
cure of an Event of Default. 
 ARTICLE IV 

SUBROGATION AND SUBORDINATION 

SECTION 4.01. Contribution and Subrogation. Each Grantor (a “Contributing Party”) agrees (subject to
Section 4.02) that, in the event assets of any other Grantor (the “Claiming Party”) shall be sold pursuant to any Collateral Document to satisfy any Obligation owed to any Secured Party, the Contributing Party shall indemnify
the Claiming Party in an amount equal to the greater of the book value 

  
 10 








 
or the fair market value of such assets, in each case multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the net worth of the Contributing Party on the date hereof and the denominator shall
be the aggregate net worth of all the Contributing Parties together with the net worth of the Claiming Party on the date hereof (or, in the case of any Grantor becoming a party hereto pursuant to Section 5.14, the date of the Collateral
Agreement Supplement executed and delivered by such Grantor). Any Contributing Party making any payment to a Claiming Party pursuant to this Section 4.01 shall be subrogated to the rights of such Claiming Party to the extent of such payment.

 SECTION 4.02. Subordination. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, all rights of the Grantors under
Sections 4.01 and all other rights of indemnity, contribution or subrogation under applicable Law or otherwise shall be fully subordinated to the payment in full in cash of the Obligations (other than contingent obligations for which no claim or
other demand has been made). No failure on the part of any Grantor to make the payments required by Sections 4.01 (or any other payments required under applicable Law or otherwise) shall in any respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any
Grantor with respect to its obligations hereunder, and each Grantor shall remain liable for the full amount of the obligations of such Grantor hereunder. 

ARTICLE V 

MISCELLANEOUS 
 SECTION
5.01. Notices. All communications and notices hereunder shall (except as otherwise expressly permitted herein) be in writing and given as provided in Section 9.01 of the Credit Agreement. All communications and notices hereunder to any
Grantor shall be given to it in care of the Borrower as provided in Section 9.01 of the Credit Agreement. 
 SECTION 5.02. Waivers;
Amendment. 
 (a) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, any other Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any
right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power,
preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, any other Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are
cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by any Grantor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be
permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section 5.02, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan
or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any other Agent any Lender or any Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time. No
notice or demand on any Grantor in any case shall entitle any Grantor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. 

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in
writing entered into by the Administrative Agent and the Grantor or Grantors with respect to which such waiver, amendment or modification is to apply, subject to any consent required in accordance with Section 9.02 of the Credit Agreement. 


  
 11 








 SECTION 5.03. Administrative Agent’s Fees and Expenses; Indemnification. 

(a) The parties hereto agree that the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to reimbursement of any and all of its reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement of any rights or remedies under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. 
 (b) The
parties hereto agree that the Administrative Agent and the other Indemnitees (as defined in Section 9.03 of the Credit Agreement) shall be entitled to indemnification as provided in Section 9.03 of the Credit Agreement as if such section
were set out in full herein and references to “the Borrower” and any “Loan Party” therein were references to each Grantor, and each Grantor hereby waives all liabilities against the Administrative Agent and each Secured Party as
if Indemnitees and the other Secured Parties to the extent set forth in Section 9.03 of the Credit Agreement. 
 (c) Any such amounts
payable as provided hereunder shall be additional Obligations secured hereby and by the other Collateral Documents. The provisions of this Section 5.03 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Obligations, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any
investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party. All amounts due under this Section 5.03 shall be payable within ten Business Days of written demand therefor. 

SECTION 5.04. Successors and Assigns. Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be
deemed to include the permitted successors and assigns of such party; and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of any Grantor or the Administrative Agent that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of
their respective permitted successors and assigns. 
 SECTION 5.05. Survival of Agreement. All covenants, agreements, representations
and warranties made by the Grantors in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by
the Lenders and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any Lender or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the
Administrative Agent, any other Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended under the Credit Agreement, and shall continue in full
force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under any Loan Document is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not
expired or terminated. 
 SECTION 5.06. Counterparts; Effectiveness; Several Agreement. This Agreement may be executed in
counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Agreement by
facsimile transmission or other electronic communication shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Agreement. This Agreement shall become effective as to any Grantor when a counterpart hereof executed on behalf of
such Grantor shall have been delivered to the Administrative Agent and a counterpart hereof shall have been executed on behalf of the Administrative Agent, and thereafter shall be binding upon such Grantor and the Administrative Agent and their

affecting the obligations of any other Grantor hereunder. 
 SECTION 5.07. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining
provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or

Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Guarantor against any and all of the Obligations of such Guarantor now or hereafter due and owing under the Loan Documents, irrespective of whether such Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank

different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such Indebtedness. Each Agent, each Lender and each Issuing Bank shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of such setoff and application; provided that any
failure to give or any delay in giving such notice shall not affect the validity of any such setoff and application under this Section 5.08. The rights of the each Agent, each Lender, each Issuing Bank and their respective Affiliates under this
Section 5.08 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that each Agent, such Lender, such Issuing Bank and their respective Affiliates may have.

 FORM OF SHORT
FORM 
 INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY SECURITY AGREEMENT 

This INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY SECURITY AGREEMENT (as amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time (this
“Agreement”), dated as of [            ], 201[    ] (the “Effective Date”), is made by and among LMI AEROSPACE, INC., a Missouri
corporation (the “Borrower”) and the other parties hereto as Grantors (together with the Borrower, the “Grantors”) in favor of ROYAL BANK OF CANADA, as Administrative Agent (in such capacity, the
“Administrative Agent”) for the Secured Parties (as defined in the Credit Agreement (as defined below)). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit
Agreement and the Intellectual Property Security Agreement referred to therein. 
 WHEREAS, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, Royal
Bank of Canada and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Co-Collateral Agents and the Lenders and the Issuing Banks from time to time party thereto have entered into the Credit Agreement, dated as of June 19, 2014 (as amended, amended and
restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), pursuant to which the Lenders have severally agreed to make Loans and the Issuing Banks to issue Letters of Credit for the account of the
Borrower pursuant to, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions specified therein and the Hedge Banks to enter into Secured Hedge Agreements and the Cash Management Banks to enter into arrangements relating to Cash Management Obligations.

 WHEREAS, in connection with the Credit Agreement, the Grantors have entered into the Intellectual Property Security Agreement dated as of
June 19, 2014 (as amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Intellectual Property Security Agreement”) in order to induce the Lenders to extend credit, the Issuing Banks to issue
Letters of Credit, the Hedge Banks to enter into the Secured Hedge Agreements and the Cash Management Banks to enter into arrangements relating to Cash Management Obligations. 

WHEREAS, under the terms of the Intellectual Property Security Agreement, the Grantors have granted to the Administrative Agent, for the
ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest in, among other property, certain intellectual property of the Grantors, and have agreed as a condition thereof to execute this Agreement for recording with the United States Patent and
Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office and other governmental authorities. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, each Grantor agrees as follows: 
 SECTION 1.
Grant of Security. Each Grantor hereby grants to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties a security interest in all of such Grantor’s right, title and interest in and to the following (the
“Collateral”): 
 (a) the Patents (as defined in the Intellectual Property Security Agreement) set forth on
Schedule A hereto; 
 (b) the Trademarks (as defined in the Intellectual Property Security Agreement) set forth on Schedule B
hereto; and 
 (c) the Copyrights (as defined in the Intellectual Property Security Agreement) set forth on Schedule C
hereto. 







 SECTION 2. Security for Obligations. The grant of a security interest in the Collateral by
each Grantor under this Agreement secures the payment of all Obligations of such Grantor now or hereafter existing under or in respect of the Loan Documents, whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, and whether for principal,
reimbursement obligations, interest, premiums, penalties, fees, indemnifications, contract causes of action, costs, expenses or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this Agreement secures, as to each Grantor, the payment of
all amounts that constitute part of the Obligations and that would be owed by such Grantor to any Secured Party under the Loan Documents but for the fact that such Obligations are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy,
reorganization or similar proceeding involving a Loan Party. 
 SECTION 3. Recordation. This Agreement has been executed and
delivered by the Grantors for the purpose of recording the grant of security interest herein with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office. Each Grantor authorizes and requests that the Register of
Copyrights, the Commissioner for Patents and the Commissioner for Trademarks record this Agreement. 
 SECTION 4. Execution in
Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. 

SECTION 5. Grants Rights and Remedies. This Agreement has been entered into in conjunction with the provisions of the Intellectual
Property Security Agreement. Each Grantor does hereby acknowledge and confirm that the grant of the security interest hereunder to, and the rights and remedies of, the Administrative Agent with respect to the Collateral are more fully set forth in
the Intellectual Property Security Agreement, the terms and provisions of which are incorporated herein by reference as if fully set forth herein. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of the Intellectual
Property Security Agreement, the terms of the Intellectual Property Security Agreement shall govern. 
 SECTION 6. Governing Law.
This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. 
 SECTION 7. Severability.
In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and in the Intellectual
Property Security Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any
other jurisdiction). The parties hereto shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid,
illegal or unenforceable provisions.

its officer thereunto duly authorized as of the date first above written.

Credit Agreement (as defined below)). 
 A. Reference is made to that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of June 19, 2014 (as amended,
amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), by and among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, Royal Bank of Canada and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as
Co-Collateral Agents and the Lenders and the Issuing Banks from time to time party thereto, pursuant to which the Lenders have severally agreed to make Loans and the Issuing Banks to issue Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrower pursuant
to, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions specified therein and the Hedge Banks to enter into Secured Hedge Agreements and the Cash Management Banks to enter into arrangements relating to Cash Management Obligations. 

B. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement and

 C. The Grantors have entered into the Intellectual Property Security
Agreement in order to induce the Lenders to extend credit, the Issuing Banks to issue Letters of Credit, the Hedge Banks to enter into the Secured Hedge Agreements and the Cash Management Banks to enter into arrangements relating to Cash Management
Obligations. Section 5.14 of the Intellectual Property Security Agreement and Section 5.12 of the Credit Agreement provide that certain Persons may become Grantors under the Intellectual Property Security Agreement by execution and
delivery of an instrument in the form of this Supplement. The undersigned Person (the “New Grantor”) is executing this Supplement in accordance with the requirements of the Credit Agreement to become a Grantor under the Intellectual
Property Security Agreement in order to induce the Lenders to make Loans, the Issuing Banks to issue Letters of Credit, the Hedge Banks to enter into Secured Hedge Agreements, the Cash Management Banks to enter into arrangements relating to Cash

Accordingly, the Administrative Agent and the New Grantor agree as follows: 

SECTION 1. In accordance with Section 5.14 of the Intellectual Property Security Agreement, the New Grantor by its signature below
becomes a Grantor under the Intellectual Property Security Agreement with the same force and effect as if originally named therein as a Grantor and the New Grantor hereby (a) agrees to all the terms and provisions of the Intellectual Property
Security Agreement applicable to it as a Grantor thereunder and (b) represents and warrants that the 







 
representations and warranties made by it as a Grantor thereunder are true and correct on and as of the date hereof. In furtherance of the foregoing, the New Grantor, as security for the payment
and performance in full of the Obligations, does hereby create and grant to the Administrative Agent, its permitted successors and assigns, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, their permitted successors and assigns, a security interest in, and
lien on, all of the New Grantor’s right, title and interest in and to the Collateral (as defined in the Intellectual Property Security Agreement) of the New Grantor. Each reference to a “Grantor” in the Intellectual Property Security
Agreement shall be deemed to include the New Grantor. The Intellectual Property Security Agreement is hereby incorporated herein by reference. 

SECTION 2. The New Grantor represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties that this Supplement has been
duly authorized, executed and delivered by it and constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by Debtor Relief Laws and by general principles
of equity (whether considered in a proceeding at law or in equity). 
 SECTION 3. This Supplement may be executed in counterparts (and by
different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Supplement shall become effective when the Administrative Agent shall have
received a counterpart of this Supplement that bears the signature of the New Grantor and the Administrative Agent has executed a counterpart hereof. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Supplement by facsimile transmission or other
electronic communication shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Supplement. 
 SECTION 4. The New
Grantor hereby represents and warrants that (a) set forth on Schedule I attached hereto is a true and correct schedule of the Collateral and (b) set forth under its signature hereto is the true and correct legal name of the New Grantor,
its jurisdiction of formation and the location of its chief executive office. 
 SECTION 5. The New Grantor hereby grants to the
Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties a security interest in all of such Grantor’s right, title and interest in and to the Collateral, including: 

(a) the Patents (as defined in the Intellectual Property Security Agreement) set forth in Schedule I hereto; 

(b) the Trademarks (as defined in the Intellectual Property Security Agreement) set forth in Schedule I hereto; and 

(c) the Copyrights (as defined in the Intellectual Property Security Agreement) set forth in Schedule I hereto. 

SECTION 6. The grant of a security interest in the Collateral by the New Grantor under this Supplement secures the payment of all Obligations
of such New Grantor now or hereafter existing under, or in respect of, the Loan Documents, whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, and whether for principal, reimbursement obligations, interest, premiums, penalties, fees,
indemnifications, contract causes of action, costs, expenses or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this Supplement secures the payment of all amounts that constitute part of the Obligations and that would be owed by such
New Grantor to any Secured Party under the Loan Documents but for the fact that such Obligations are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving a Loan Party. 







 SECTION 7. This Supplement has been entered into in conjunction with the provisions of the
Intellectual Property Security Agreement. The New Grantor does hereby acknowledge and confirm that the grant of the security interest hereunder to, and the rights and remedies of, the Administrative Agent with respect to the Collateral are more
fully set forth in the Intellectual Property Security Agreement, the terms and provisions of which are incorporated herein by reference as if fully set forth herein. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Supplement and the terms of
the Intellectual Property Security Agreement, the terms of the Intellectual Property Security Agreement shall govern. 
 SECTION 8. The New
Grantor authorizes and requests that the Register of Copyrights, the Commissioner for Patents and the Commissioner for Trademarks and any other applicable government officer record this Supplement with respect to United States Patents, United States
registered Trademarks and Trademarks for which United States applications are pending, and United States registered Copyrights listed in Schedule I hereto. 

SECTION 9. Except as expressly supplemented hereby, the Intellectual Property Security Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and in the Intellectual Property Security Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a
particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties hereto shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or
unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions. 

SECTION 12. All communications and notices hereunder shall be in writing and given as provided in Section 5.01 of the Intellectual
Property Security Agreement. 
 SECTION 13. Reimbursement of the Administrative Agent’s expenses under this Supplement shall be
governed by the applicable sections of the Intellectual Property Security Agreement.
