SECTION 2. Amount and Terms of Loans. 

2.01. The Loans. 

(a) Initial Term Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein or in the Amendment and Restatement
Agreement, each Initial Term Lender made an Initial Term Loan to the Term Borrowers on or prior to the Restatement Effective Date. The Initial Term Loans (x) are denominated in Dollars and (y) bear interest in accordance


  
 52 








 
with Section 2.06. Amounts borrowed under this Section 2.01(a) and repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein (and without
affecting any other provision hereof), (i) the funded portion of the Initial Term Loans made on the Original Effective Date by the Initial Term Lenders was equal to 99.0% of the principal amount thereof (it being agreed that the full principal
amount of each such Initial Term Loan was deemed outstanding on the Original Effective Date and the Term Borrowers shall be obligated to repay 100% of the principal amount of each such Initial Term Loan as provided hereunder) and (ii) the
funded portion of the Initial Term Loans made on the Restatement Effective Date by the Initial Term Lenders was equal to 98.5% of the principal amount thereof (it being agreed that the full principal amount of each such Initial Term Loan was deemed
outstanding on the Restatement Effective Date and the Term Borrowers shall be obligated to repay 100% of the principal amount of each such Initial Term Loan as provided hereunder). 

(b) Initial Revolving Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Initial Revolving Lender
severally agrees to make Initial Revolving Loans to the Revolving Borrowers from time to time during the Revolving Availability Period, in an aggregate principal amount that will not result in such Initial Revolving Lender’s Initial Revolving
Exposure exceeding such Initial Revolving Lender’s Initial Revolving Commitment or the Aggregate Initial Revolving Exposure exceeding the Aggregate Initial Revolving Commitment. Each borrowing of Initial Revolving Loans shall consist of Initial
Revolving Loans made simultaneously by the Initial Revolving Lenders on the applicable borrowing date in accordance with their respective Percentage. The Initial Revolving Loans: (x) shall be denominated in Dollars and (y) shall bear
interest in accordance with Section 2.06. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Revolving Borrowers may borrow, prepay and reborrow Initial Revolving Loans. 

(c) The obligations of (i) the Term Borrowers hereunder and under the other Loan Documents with respect to any Term
Borrowing (including any interest, fees and other amounts in respect thereof) and the repayment or prepayment thereof shall be joint and several and (ii) the Revolving Borrowers hereunder and under the other Loan Documents with respect to any
Revolving Borrowing (including any interest, fees and other amounts in respect thereof) and the repayment or prepayment thereof shall be joint and several. 

2.02. Notice of Borrowing. 

(a) When the Borrowers desire to incur Loans hereunder, an Authorized Representative of the Borrowers shall give the
Administrative Agent at the Notice Office at least (x) in the case of the borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans, three Business Days’ prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) or (y) in the case of the
borrowing of Base Rate Loans, one Business Day’s prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing), in each case, of the Loans to be incurred hereunder, provided that such notice shall be deemed to have been given
on a certain day only if given before 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on such day. Such written notice or written confirmation of telephonic notice (a “Notice of Borrowing”), except as


  
 53 








 
otherwise expressly provided in Section 2.08, shall be irrevocable and shall be given in writing by the Borrowers in the form of Exhibit G, appropriately completed to specify
(i) the Class of the Loans to be incurred pursuant to the Borrowing, (ii) the aggregate principal amount of the Loans to be incurred pursuant to the Borrowing, (iii) the date of the Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day),
(iv) the Type of Loans comprising the Borrowing, (v) in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans, the initial Interest Period to be applicable to such Eurodollar Rate Loans and (vi) to which accounts the proceeds of such Loans are to be
deposited. The Administrative Agent shall promptly give each applicable Lender notice of the Borrowing, of such Lender’s proportionate share thereof and of the other matters required by the immediately preceding sentence to be specified in the
Notice of Borrowing. If the Borrowers fail to specify a Type of Loan in the Notice of Borrowing, then the Loans shall be made as Base Rate Loans. 

(b) Without in any way limiting the obligation of the Borrowers to confirm in writing any telephonic notice of any Borrowing or
prepayment of Loans, the Administrative Agent may act without liability upon the basis of telephonic notice of the Borrowing or a prepayment, as the case may be, believed by the Administrative Agent in good faith to be from an Authorized
Representative of the Borrowers prior to receipt of written confirmation. In each such case, the Borrowers hereby waive the right to dispute the Administrative Agent’s record of the terms of such telephonic notice of the Borrowing or prepayment
of Loans, as the case may be, absent manifest error. 
 (c) Each Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in an aggregate
principal amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000, and each Borrowing of Base Rate Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is an integral multiple of $100,000 and not less than $500,000. Borrowings
of more than one Type and Class may be outstanding at the same time; provided that there shall not at any time be more than a total of twelve (12) Borrowings of Eurodollar Rate Loans outstanding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Borrowing of
Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire unused balance of the applicable Commitments. 

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrowers shall not be entitled to request, or to elect to
Convert or continue, any Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Maturity Date applicable thereto. 

2.03. Disbursement of Funds. No later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the date specified in the Notice of Borrowing, each
Lender will make available its Percentage of the Borrowing. All such amounts will be made available in Dollars and in immediately available funds at the Payment Office and the Administrative Agent will make available to the Borrowers (prior to
1:00 p.m. (New York time) to the extent of funds actually received by the Administrative Agent prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on such day) at the Payment Office, in the accounts specified in the Notice of Borrowing, the
aggregate of the amounts so made available by the Lenders. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the date of the Borrowing that such Lender does not intend to make available to the Administrative Agent such
Lender’s portion of the Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may 

  
 54 








 
assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on the date of the Borrowing and the Administrative Agent may in its sole discretion (but shall not, for the
avoidance of doubt, be obligated to), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrowers a corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender and such amount is
advanced to the Borrowers by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the
Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrowers and the Borrowers shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent also shall be entitled
to recover on demand from such Lender or the Borrowers, as the case may be, interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the Borrowers until
the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to (i) if recovered from such Lender, the overnight Federal Funds Rate for the first three days and at the interest rate otherwise applicable
to such Loans for each day thereafter and (ii) if recovered from the Borrowers, the rate of interest applicable to the Borrowing, as determined pursuant to Section 2.06. Nothing in this Section 2.03 shall be deemed to relieve any
Lender from its obligation to make Loans hereunder or to prejudice any rights which the Borrowers may have against any Lender as a result of any failure by such Lender to make Loans hereunder. 

2.04. Notes. (a) The Borrowers’ obligation to pay the principal of, and interest on, the Loans of any Class made by each
Lender shall be joint and several and shall be evidenced in the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 10.15 and shall, if requested by such Lender as provided below, also be evidenced by a promissory note duly
executed and delivered by the Borrowers substantially in the form of Exhibit H-1 or Exhibit H-2, as applicable, with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith (each a “Note” and, collectively, the
“Notes”). 
 (b) The Note issued to each Lender that has made a Loan shall (i) be executed by the
Borrowers, (ii) be payable to such Lender or its registered assigns, (iii) be in a stated principal amount equal to the Class of Loan made by such Lender and be payable in the outstanding principal amount of the Loan evidenced thereby,
(iv) mature on the applicable Maturity Date, (v) bear interest as provided in Section 2.06, (vi) be subject to voluntary prepayment and mandatory repayment as provided herein, and (vii) be entitled to the benefits of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 
 (c) Each Lender will note on its internal records the amount of the Loan of each
Class made by it and each payment in respect thereof and, prior to the surrender of a Note pursuant to Section 10.15, will record on the reverse side thereof the outstanding principal amount of Loans of such Class evidenced thereby. Failure to
make any such notation or any error in such notation or endorsement shall not affect the Borrowers’ obligations in respect of such Loans. 

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above in this Section 2.04 or elsewhere in this Agreement, Notes
shall only be delivered to Lenders which at any time specifically request the delivery of such Notes. No failure of any 

  
 55 








 
Lender to request or obtain a Note evidencing its Loans to the Borrowers of any Class shall affect or in any manner impair the obligations of the Borrowers to pay the Loans (and all related Loan
Document Obligations) incurred by the Borrowers which would otherwise be evidenced thereby in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement, and shall not in any way affect the security or guarantees therefor provided pursuant to the various
Loan Documents. Any Lender which does not have a Note evidencing its outstanding Loans shall in no event be required to make the notations otherwise described in the preceding clause (c). At any time when any Lender requests the delivery of a
Note to evidence any of its Loans of any Class, the Borrowers shall (at their expense) promptly execute and deliver to the respective Lender the requested Note in the appropriate amount or amounts to evidence such Loans. 

2.05. Pro Rata Borrowings. The Borrowings of Loans of any Class under this Agreement shall be incurred from the Lenders pro rata on the
basis of their Commitments in respect of such Class. It is understood that no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender of its obligation to make a Loan hereunder and that each Lender shall be obligated to make the Loans
provided to be made by it hereunder, regardless of the failure of any other Lender to make its Loans hereunder. 
 2.06. Interest.

 (a) The Borrowers agree to pay interest in respect of the unpaid principal amount of each Loan from the date of Borrowing
thereof until such principal amount shall be paid in full, at the following rates per annum: 
 (i) Base Rate Loans.
During such periods as such Loan is a Base Rate Loan, a rate per annum equal at all times to the sum of (x) the Base Rate in effect from time to time plus (y) the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time, payable in arrears
(1) quarterly on each Quarterly Payment Date, (2) on the date such Base Rate Loan shall be Converted, (3) on the date of any repayment or prepayment (on the amount repaid or prepaid), except in the case of a prepayment of Revolving
Loans without a permanent reduction in the applicable Commitments, (4) at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and (5) after such maturity, on demand. 

(ii) Eurodollar Rate Loans. During such periods as such Loan is a Eurodollar Rate Loan, a rate per annum equal at all
times during each Interest Period for such Loan to the sum of (1) the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period for such Loan plus (2) the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time, payable in arrears (1) on the last day of such
Interest Period and, if such Interest Period has a duration of more than three (3) months, on each day that occurs during such Interest Period every three months from the first day of such Interest Period, (2) on the date such Eurodollar
Rate Loan shall be Converted, (3) on the date of any repayment or prepayment (on the amount repaid or prepaid), (4) at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and (5) after such maturity, on demand. 

(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Borrowers shall pay interest on (i) the
overdue outstanding principal amount 

  
 56 








 
of each Loan, payable in arrears on the dates referred to in clause (i) or (ii) of Section 2.06(a), as applicable, and on demand, at a rate per annum equal at all times to 2% per
annum above the rate per annum required to be paid on such Loan pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) of Section 2.06(a), as applicable and (ii) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the amount of any overdue interest,
fee or other amount payable under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to any Agent or any Lender Creditor that is not paid when due, from the date such amount shall be due until such amount shall be paid in full, payable in arrears on the date
such amount shall be paid in full and on demand, at a rate per annum equal at all times to 2% per annum above the rate per annum required to be paid on Initial Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans pursuant to clause (i) of
Section 2.06(a). 
 (c) Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.02, a notice of
Conversion pursuant to Section 2.07 or a notice of selection of an Interest Period pursuant to the definition thereof, the Administrative Agent shall give notice to the Borrowers and each applicable Lender of the applicable Interest Period and
the applicable interest rate determined by the Administrative Agent for purposes of clause (i) or (ii) of Section 2.06(a), and the applicable rate, if any, furnished by the Administrative Agent for the purpose of determining the
applicable interest rate under clause (a)(ii) above. Each such determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all parties hereto. 

2.07. Conversion of Loans. 

(a) Optional. The Borrowers may on any Business Day, upon notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00
A.M. (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior (or, in the case of the conversion of a Eurodollar Rate Loan into a Base Rate Loan, on the Business Day prior) to the date of the proposed Conversion and subject to the provisions of
Sections 2.06 and 2.08, Convert all or any portion of the Loans of one Type comprising the same Borrowing into Loans of the other Type; provided, however, that any Conversion of Eurodollar Rate Loans into Base Rate Loans shall be
made only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurodollar Rate Loans, any Conversion of Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in an amount not less than (i) with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans, $5,000,000 or an
integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (ii) with respect to Base Rate Loans, $500,000 or an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof, no Conversion of any Loans shall result in more separate Borrowings than permitted under
Section 2.02(c), and each Conversion of Loans comprising part of the same Borrowing shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their applicable Commitments. Each such notice of Conversion shall, within the restrictions specified
above, specify (i) the date of such Conversion, (ii) the identity, amount and Class of the Loans to be Converted and (iii) if such Conversion is into Eurodollar Rate Loans, the duration of the initial Interest Period for such Loans;
provided that if no notice of Conversion is provided for any Eurodollar Rate Loan by the time and date specified above or if the Borrowers fail to select an Interest Period for such Loan in a notice of Conversion, then that Eurodollar Rate
Loan shall be converted to a Eurodollar Rate Loan with an Interest Period of three months as of the last day of the expiring Interest Period. Each notice of Conversion shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrowers. 

  
 57 








 (b) Mandatory. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event
of Default (in the case of an Event of Default under Section 8.01(a)(10), automatically, and in the case of any other Event of Default, upon the request of the Required Lenders), (1) each Eurodollar Rate Loan will on the last day of the
then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Eurodollar Rate Loan having an Interest Period of one month and (2) the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to Convert Loans into, or to continue Loans as, Eurodollar Rate Loans having an
Interest Period in excess of one month shall be suspended. 
 2.08. Increased Costs, Illegality, Market Disruption,
etc. (a) If (i) any Recipient shall have determined (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) at any time, that such Recipient shall incur increased costs or
reductions in the amounts received or receivable hereunder with respect to any Loan because of, without duplication, the introduction of or effectiveness of or any change since the Original Effective Date in any applicable law, treaty or
governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline, directive or request (whether or not having the force of law) concerning capital adequacy, liquidity requirements or changes therein or otherwise or in the interpretation or administration thereof and
including the introduction of any new law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline or request, such as, for example, but not limited to: (1) any such introduction, effectiveness or change subjecting any Recipient to any Tax with
respect to its loans, loan principal, commitments or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto (other than any Excluded Tax), but without duplication of any amounts payable in respect of Taxes or
Indemnified Taxes pursuant to Section 4.08, (2) a change in official reserve requirements but, in all events, excluding reserves required under Regulation D to the extent included in the computation of the Eurodollar Rate or
(3) a change that will have the effect of increasing the amount of capital adequacy or liquidity required or requested by an applicable governmental regulatory authority to be maintained by such Lender, or any corporation controlling such
Lender, based on the existence of such Lender’s Commitments or Loans made hereunder or its obligations hereunder, or (ii) at any time, that the making or continuance of any Eurodollar Rate Loan has been made unlawful by any law or
governmental rule, regulation or order or any central bank or other governmental body or authority shall assert that it is unlawful; 
 then,
and in any such event, such Recipient shall promptly give notice (by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Borrowers and, in the case of clause (ii) of this Section 2.08(a), to the Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice
the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Lenders); thereafter (1) in the case of clause (i) above, the Borrowers agree (to the extent applicable), to pay to such Recipient, upon its written demand therefor, such
additional amounts as shall be required to compensate such Recipient or such other corporation for the increased costs or reductions to such Recipient or such other corporation and (2) in the case of clause (ii) of this
Section 2.08(a), the Borrowers shall take one of the actions specified in Section 2.08(b). In determining such additional amounts, each Recipient will act 

  
 58 








 
reasonably and in good faith and will use averaging and attribution methods which are reasonable; provided that such Recipient’s determination of compensation owing under this
Section 2.08(a) shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all the parties hereto. Each Recipient, upon determining that any additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 2.08(a), will give prompt
written notice thereof to the Borrowers, which notice shall show in reasonable detail the basis for the calculation of such additional amounts; provided, however, that no Loan Party shall be required to indemnify any Recipient pursuant
to this Section 2.08(a) for any additional amounts incurred by such Recipient more than 180 days prior to the date on which such Recipient provides notice to the Borrowers seeking payment of such additional amounts. In the case of the
circumstances described in the first sentence of this clause (ii), the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to Convert Loans into, or to continue Loans as, Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify
the Borrowers that such Lender has determined that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist. 
 (b) At any
time that any Loan is affected by the circumstances described in Section 2.08(a)(i) or (ii), the Borrowers may (and in the case of a Loan affected by the circumstances described in Section 2.08(a)(ii) shall) either (i) if the affected
Loan is then being made initially, cancel the Borrowing by giving the Administrative Agent telephonic notice (confirmed in writing) on the same date or the next Business Day that the Borrowers were notified by the affected Lender or the
Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.08(a)(i) or (ii) or (ii) if the affected Loan is then outstanding, upon at least three Business Days’ written notice to the Administrative Agent, in the case of any Loan, repay the
Borrowing (within the time period required by the applicable law or governmental rule, governmental regulation or governmental order) in full in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 4.02; provided that prior to such
repayment, in the case of any Eurodollar Rate Loan that is affected by the circumstances described in Section 2.08(a)(ii), such Loans will automatically, upon delivery of such notice, Convert into a Base Rate Loan; provided,
further, that if more than one Lender is affected at any time, then all affected Lenders must be treated the same pursuant to this Section 2.08(b). 

(c) If a Market Disruption Event occurs in relation to a Eurodollar Rate Loan for any Interest Period, then the Administrative
Agent shall forthwith so notify the Borrowers and the Lenders, whereupon (i) each such Eurodollar Rate Loan will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Loan and (ii) the
obligation of the Lenders to Convert Loans into Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers that such Lenders have determined that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist. 

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer
Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (ii) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on
Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in 

  
 59 








 
each case be deemed to be a change after the Original Effective Date in an applicable law or governmental rule, regulation or order, regardless of the date enacted, adopted, issued or implemented
for all purposes under or in connection with this Agreement (including this Section 2.08). 
 2.09. Compensation. The Borrowers
agree to compensate each Lender, upon its written request (which request shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such compensation), for all reasonable and documented losses, expenses and liabilities (including any loss,
expense or liability incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds required by such Lender to fund its Eurodollar Rate Loans but excluding loss of anticipated profits) which such Lender may sustain: (i) if for
any reason (other than a default by such Lender or the Administrative Agent) a Eurodollar Rate Borrowing, Conversion or continuation does not occur on a date specified therefor in the applicable Notice of Borrowing or notice of Conversion or
continuation (whether or not withdrawn by the Borrowers or deemed withdrawn pursuant to Section 2.08(a)); (ii) if any prepayment or repayment (including any prepayment or repayment made pursuant to Section 2.08(a), Section 4.01,
Section 4.02 or as a result of an acceleration of the Loans pursuant to Section 8) or assignment of any of its Eurodollar Rate Loans pursuant to Section 2.11, occurs on a date which is not the last day of an Interest Period with
respect thereto; (iii) if any prepayment of any of its Eurodollar Rate Loans is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by the Borrowers; or (iv) as a consequence of any other default by the Borrowers to repay
Eurodollar Rate Loans or make payment on any Note held by such Lender when required by the terms of this Agreement. Such loss, expense or liability to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the amount (if
any) by which (x) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Eurodollar Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan (which, for the avoidance of doubt, will not
include the Applicable Margin applicable thereto), for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, Convert or continue, for the period that would have
been the Interest Period for such Loan) exceeds (y) the amount of interest that would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate that such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for Dollar
deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the London interbank market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.09 shall be delivered to
the Borrowers and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 2.10. Change of Lending Office; Limitation on Additional Amounts. Each
Lender agrees that upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.08(a), 2.08(b), 4.08(b) or 4.08(f) with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrowers, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall
policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Loans affected by such event, provided that such designation is made on such terms that such Lender and its lending office suffer no economic, legal or
regulatory disadvantage, with the object of avoiding the consequence of the event giving rise to the operation of such Section. Nothing in this Section 2.10 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrowers or the right of any
Lender provided in Sections 2.08 and 4.08. 

  
 60 








 2.11. Replacement of Lenders. (a) (i) If any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender,
(ii) upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.08(a)(ii) with respect to any Lender which results in it being unlawful for such Lender to make Eurodollar Rate Loans or giving rise to the operation of
Section 2.08(a)(i), Section 4.08(b) or 4.08(f) with respect to any Lender which results in such Lender charging to the Borrowers increased costs in excess of those being generally charged by the other Lenders, or (iii) as provided in
Section 10.12(b) in the case of certain refusals by a Lender to consent to certain proposed changes, waivers, discharges or terminations with respect to this Agreement which have been approved by the Required Lenders, the Borrowers shall have
the right, if no Event of Default then exists (or, in the case of preceding clause (iii), will exist immediately after giving effect to the respective replacement), to replace such Lender (the “Replaced Lender”) with one or more
other Eligible Transferee or Eligible Transferees (collectively, the “Replacement Lender”) and each of whom shall be required to be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent if such replacement would (in the case of the
preceding clause (i)) result in a reduction of the increased costs charged to the Borrowers, provided that: 

(i) at the time of any replacement pursuant to this Section 2.11, the Replacement Lender shall enter into one or more
Assignment and Assumption Agreements pursuant to Section 10.04(b) (and with all fees payable pursuant to said Section 10.04(b) to be paid by the Replacement Lender) pursuant to which the Replacement Lender shall acquire all of the
Commitments and outstanding Loans of the Replaced Lender and, in connection therewith, shall pay to the Replaced Lender in respect thereof an amount equal to the principal of, and all accrued and unpaid interest and fees on, all Commitments and
outstanding Loans of the Replaced Lender with respect to which such Replaced Lender is being replaced; and 
 (ii) all
obligations of the Borrowers due and owing to the Replaced Lender at such time (other than those specifically described in clause (i) above in respect of which the assignment purchase price has been, or is concurrently being, paid) shall be
paid in full to such Replaced Lender concurrently with such replacement (including, if applicable, Section 2.15). 
 (b)
Upon the execution of the respective Assignment and Assumption Agreement, the payment of amounts referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) above and, if so requested by the Replacement Lender, delivery to the Replacement Lender of the appropriate
Note or Notes executed by the Borrowers, the Replacement Lender shall become a Lender hereunder and the Replaced Lender shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement (including
Sections 2.08, 2.09, 4.08, 9.06 and 10.01), which shall survive as to such Replaced Lender. 
 2.12. [Reserved]. 

2.13. Loan Repurchases. 

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth or referred to below, any of the Borrowers or any of their respective
Subsidiaries may from time to time, at their 

  
 61 








 
discretion, purchase outstanding Term Loans of one or more Classes (as determined by the Borrowers) in accordance with the terms of Section 10.04 (as if such Person qualifies as an Eligible
Transferee), so long as the following conditions are satisfied: 
 (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing at the time of any such purchase of Term Loans; 
 (ii) the proceeds from Revolving Loans may not be used to
consummate any such purchase of Term Loans; 
 (iii) the aggregate principal amount (calculated on the face amount thereof)
of all Term Loans of the applicable Class or Classes so purchased by any of the Borrowers or any of their respective Subsidiaries shall automatically be cancelled and retired by the applicable Borrower or Subsidiary on the settlement date of the
relevant purchase (and will thereafter no longer be outstanding hereunder) (it being agreed that any gains or losses by the Borrowers or any of their respective Subsidiaries upon the purchase and cancelation of Term Loans shall not be taken into
account in the calculation of Combined EBITDA or Combined Net Income); 
 (iv) the Borrowers represent and warrant that no
Loan Party shall have any Restricted Information that (1) has not been previously disclosed in writing to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (other than because the assigning Lender does not wish to receive such Restricted Information)
prior to such time and (2) could reasonably be expected to have a material effect upon, or otherwise be material to, a Lender’s decision to participate in the applicable purchase transaction, in each case except to the extent that the
assigning Lender has entered into a customary “big boy” letter with the Borrowers; and 
 (v) at the time of each
purchase of any Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.13, the Borrowers shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent an officer’s certificate of an Authorized Representative of the Borrowers certifying as to compliance with the
preceding clause (iv). 
 (b) The Borrowers and the Subsidiaries must terminate any purchase pursuant to this
Section 2.13 if they fail to satisfy one or more of the conditions set forth above or cannot reasonably be expected to satisfy such conditions at the time set for such purchase of Term Loans. If the Borrowers or any of their respective
Subsidiaries commence any purchase of Term Loans (and all relevant requirements set forth above which are required to be satisfied at the time of the commencement of such purchase have in fact been satisfied), and if at such time of commencement the
Borrowers reasonably believe that all required conditions set forth above which are required to be satisfied at the time of the consummation of such purchase shall be satisfied, then the Borrowers shall have no liability to any Lender for any
termination of such purchase as a result of its failure to satisfy one or more of the conditions set forth above which are required to be met at the time which otherwise would have been the time of consummation of such purchase, and any such failure
shall not result in any Default or Event of Default hereunder. With respect to all purchases of Term Loans of any Class or 

  
 62 








 
Classes made by the Borrowers or any of their respective Subsidiaries pursuant to this Section 2.13, (i) the Term Borrowers shall pay on the settlement date of each such purchase all
accrued and unpaid interest (except to the extent otherwise set forth in the relevant offering documents), if any, on the purchased Term Loans of the applicable Class or Classes up to the settlement date of such purchase and (ii) such purchases
(and the payments made by the Term Borrowers and the cancellation of the purchased Term Loans, in each case in connection therewith) shall not constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of Section 4.01 or
Section 4.02 hereof. 
 2.14. Extension Offers. 

(a) The Borrowers may at any time and from time to time request that all or a portion of the Commitments or Loans of any Class,
in each case existing at the time of such request (each, an “Existing Commitment” or an “Existing Loan”, as applicable) be converted to extend the termination date thereof and the scheduled maturity date(s) of any
payment of principal with respect to all or a portion of any principal amount of Existing Loans (any Commitments which have been so extended, “Extended Commitments”, and any Loans which have been so extended, “Extended
Loans”) and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 2.14. Prior to entering into any Extension Amendment (as defined below) with respect to any Extended Commitments or Extended Loans, the Borrowers shall provide a
notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders in respect of the applicable Existing Commitments and/or Existing Loans and which such request shall be offered equally to all such Lenders) (an
“Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Commitments and/or Extended Loans to be established thereunder, which terms shall be substantially similar to those applicable to the Existing Commitments and/or
Existing Loans from which they are to be extended (the “Specified Existing Class”) except that (i) all or any of the final maturity dates of such Extended Commitments and/or Extended Loans may be delayed to later dates than the
final maturity dates of the Existing Commitments and/or Existing Loans of the Specified Existing Class, (ii)(x) the interest rates, interest margins, rate floors, upfront fees, funding discounts, original issue discounts and premiums with
respect to the Extended Commitments and/or Extended Loans may be different from those for the Existing Commitments and/or Existing Loans of the Specified Existing Class and/or (y) additional fees and/or premiums may be payable to the Lenders
providing such Extended Commitments and/or Extended Loans in addition to or in lieu of any of the items contemplated by the preceding clause (x), and (iii) the Extension Amendment may provide for other covenants and terms that apply to any
period after the Maturity Date in respect of the Specified Existing Class (as such date is set forth on the date of any determination); provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.14 or otherwise,
(A) the borrowing and repayment of the Extended Loans shall be made on a pro rata basis with any borrowings and repayments of the Existing Loans of the Specified Existing Class (the mechanics for which may be implemented through the applicable
Extension Amendment (as defined below) and may include technical changes related to the borrowing and replacement procedures of the Specified Existing Class), except with respect to any such repayment of the Existing Loans of the Specified Existing
Class on the applicable Maturity Date in respect thereof, and (B) assignments and 

  
 63 








 
participations of Extended Commitments and Extended Loans shall be governed by the assignment and participation provisions set forth in Section 10.04. No Lender shall have any obligation to
agree to have any of its Commitments or Loans converted into Extended Commitments or Extended Loans, as applicable, pursuant to any Extension Request. Any (1) Extended Commitments shall constitute a separate class of Commitments from Existing
Commitments of the Specified Existing Class and from any other Existing Commitments and (2) Extended Loans shall constitute a separate class of Loans from Existing Loans of the Specified Existing Class and from any other Existing Loans. 

(b) The Borrowers shall provide the applicable Extension Request at least three (3) Business Days (or such shorter period
as the Administrative Agent may determine in its reasonable discretion) prior to the date on which Lenders holding Existing Commitments and/or Existing Loans are requested to respond, and shall agree to such procedures, if any, as may be established
by, or acceptable to, the Administrative Agent, in each case acting reasonably, to accomplish the purpose of this Section 2.14. Any Lender (an “Extending Lender”) wishing to have all or a portion of its Commitments and/or Loans
(or any earlier Extended Commitments and/or Extended Loans) subject to such Extension Request converted into Extended Commitments and/or Extended Loans shall notify the Administrative Agent (an “Extension Election”) on or prior to
the date specified in such Extension Request of the amount of its Commitments and/or Loans (and/or any earlier Extended Commitments and/or Extended Loans) which it has elected to convert into Extended Commitments and/or Extended Loans. In the event
that the aggregate amount of Commitments and/or Loans (and any earlier Extended Commitments and/or Extended Loans) subject to an Extension Election exceeds the amount of Extended Commitments and/or Extended Loans requested pursuant to the applicable
Extension Request, Commitments and/or Loans (and any earlier Extended Commitments and/or Extended Loans) subject to such Extension Election shall be converted to Extended Commitments and/or Extended Loans on a pro rata basis based on the amount of
Commitments and/or Loans (and any earlier Extended Commitments and/or Extended Loans) included in such Extension Election or as may be otherwise agreed to in the applicable Extension Amendment. 

(c) Extended Commitments and Extended Loans shall be established pursuant to an amendment (an “Extension
Amendment”) to this Agreement (which, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 10.12, shall not require the consent of any Lender other than the Extending Lenders with respect to the Extended Commitments and/or
Extended Loans established thereby) executed by the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Extending Lenders. It is understood and agreed that each Lender hereunder has consented, and shall at the effective time thereof be deemed to consent,
to each amendment to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents authorized by this Section 2.14 and the arrangements described above in connection therewith. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.14(c) and without
limiting the generality or applicability of Section 10.12 to any Section 2.14 Additional Amendments (as defined below), any Extension Amendment may provide for additional terms and/or additional amendments other than those referred to or
contemplated above (any such additional amendment, a “Section 2.14 Additional Amendment”) to this Agreement and 

  
 64 








 
the other Loan Documents; provided that such Section 2.14 Additional Amendments are within the requirements of Section 2.14(a) and do not become effective prior to the time that
such Section 2.14 Additional Amendments have been consented to (including pursuant to consents applicable to holders of any Extended Loans provided for in any Extension Amendment) by such of the Lenders, Loan Parties and other parties (if any)
as may be required in order for such Section 2.14 Additional Amendments to become effective in accordance with Section 10.12. 

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (i) on any date on which any class of Existing
Commitments and/or Existing Loans is converted to extend the related scheduled maturity date(s) in accordance with paragraph (a) above (an “Extension Date”), (A) in the case of the Existing Commitments of each Extending
Lender under any Specified Existing Class, the aggregate amount of such Existing Commitments shall be deemed reduced by an amount equal to the aggregate amount of Extended Commitments so converted by such Lender on such date, and such Extended
Commitments shall be established as a separate class of Commitments from the Specified Existing Class and from any other Existing Commitments (together with any other Extended Commitments so established on such date) and (B) in the case of the
Existing Loans of each Extending Lender under any Specified Existing Class, the aggregate principal amount of such Existing Loans shall be deemed reduced by an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of Extended Loans so converted by such
Lender on such date, and such Extended Loans shall be established as a separate class of Loans from the Specified Existing Class and from any other Existing Loans (together with any other Extended Loans so established on such date) and (ii) if,
on any Extension Date, any Existing Loans of any Extending Lender are outstanding under the Specified Existing Class, such Existing Loans (and any related participations) shall be deemed to be allocated as Extended Loans (and related participations)
in the same proportion as such Extending Lender’s Existing Loans under the Specified Existing Class to Extended Loans. 

(e) No exchange of Loans pursuant to any Extension Amendment in accordance with this Section 2.14 shall constitute a
voluntary or mandatory payment or prepayment for purposes of this Agreement. 
 (f) In connection with any extension of the
Revolving Commitments of any Class pursuant to this Section 2.14, the applicable Section 2.14 Additional Amendment shall provide that the allocation with respect to any borrowings, repayments or prepayments of Revolving Loans or reductions
of Revolving Commitments (other than repayments or reductions made in connection with the occurrence of the final Maturity Date of any Class of Revolving Loans or Revolving Commitments) shall be made on a ratable basis as between each Class of
Revolving Loans and Revolving Commitments. 
 2.15. Term Loan Refinancing Protection. In the event that, on or prior to the first
anniversary of the Original Effective Date, any Initial Term Lender receives (or is deemed to receive) a Refinancing Prepayment (as defined below) from the Term Borrowers pursuant to Section 4.01, then, at the time thereof, the Term Borrowers
shall pay to such Initial Term Lender a prepayment premium equal to 1.00% of the amount of such Refinancing Prepayment. As used 

  
 65 








 
herein, with respect to any Initial Term Lender, a “Refinancing Prepayment” is the aggregate principal amount of the Initial Term Loans of such Initial Term Lender that is either
(a) prepaid by the Term Borrowers substantially concurrently with the incurrence by the Borrowers or any of the Guarantors of long-term bank debt financing or other debt financing similar to the Initial Term Loans that has (or, upon the
occurrence of certain events, would have) or (b) the subject of an amendment or other modification of this Agreement that would result in (or, upon the occurrence of certain events, would result in), in each case a lower all-in yield (taking
into account any original issue discount and upfront fees in respect of such financing and any pricing “floor” applicable thereto) than the interest rate margin applicable to such Initial Term Loans. 

2.16. Defaulting Lenders. 

(a) Adjustments. 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: 
 (i) Waivers and
Amendments. The Commitments and Loans of that Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders or any other requisite Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document
(including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 10.12); provided that any amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or all Lenders affected thereby shall,
except as otherwise provided in Section 10.12, require the consent of that Defaulting Lender in accordance with the terms hereof. 

(ii) Reallocation of Payments. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by Administrative
Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, or otherwise), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts
owing by that Defaulting Lender to Administrative Agent hereunder; second, as Borrowers may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund
its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by Administrative Agent; third, if so determined by Administrative Agent and Borrowers, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy
obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement; fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against that Defaulting
Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fifth, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to any Borrower as a result of any judgment of a
court of competent jurisdiction obtained by that Borrower against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and sixth, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise
directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such
Loans were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 5.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be 

  
 66 








 
applied solely to pay the Loans of all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of that Defaulting Lender. Any payments, prepayments or other
amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Section 2.16(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender
irrevocably consents hereto. 
 (iii) Certain Fees. That Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to receive any
Commitment Fee pursuant to Section 3.01 for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any such Commitment Fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that
Defaulting Lender during such period). 
 (b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent
agree in writing in their discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject
to any conditions set forth therein, that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans to
be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their applicable Percentage, whereupon that Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or
payments made by or on behalf of the Borrowers while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender
to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. The rights and remedies against a Defaulting Lender under this Section 2.16 are in addition to
other rights and remedies that the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the non-Defaulting Lenders may have against such Defaulting Lender. The arrangements permitted or required by this Section 2.16 shall be permitted under this Agreement,
notwithstanding any limitation on Liens or otherwise. 
 2.17. Refinancing Facilities. 

(a) The Borrowers may, on one or more occasions, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, request the establishment hereunder of
(i) a new Class of revolving commitments (the “Refinancing Revolving Commitments”) pursuant to which each Person providing such a commitment (a “Refinancing Revolving Lender”) will make revolving loans to the
Revolving Borrowers (“Refinancing Revolving Loans”) and (ii) one or more additional Classes of term loan commitments (the “Refinancing Term Commitments”) pursuant to which each Person providing such a
commitment (a “Refinancing Term Lender”) will make term loans to the Term Borrowers (the “Refinancing Term Loans”); provided that each Refinancing Revolving Lender and each Refinancing Term Lender shall be an
Eligible Transferee and, if not already a Revolving Lender, shall otherwise be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent. 

  
 67 








 (b) The Refinancing Commitments shall be effected pursuant to one or more Refinancing Facility
Agreements executed and delivered by the Borrowers, each Refinancing Lender providing such Refinancing Commitment and the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned); provided that no
Refinancing Commitments shall become effective unless (i) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of effectiveness thereof, (ii) on the date of effectiveness thereof, the representations and warranties of each Loan
Party set forth in the Loan Documents shall be true and correct (A) in the case of the representations and warranties qualified as to materiality, in all respects and (B) otherwise, in all material respects, in each case on and as of such
date, except in the case of any such representation and warranty that specifically relates to an earlier date, in which case such representation and warranty shall be so true and correct on and as of such earlier date, (iii) the Borrowers shall
have delivered to the Administrative Agent such legal opinions, board resolutions, secretary’s certificates, officer’s certificates and other documents as shall reasonably be requested by the Administrative Agent in connection with any
such transaction, (iv) in the case of any Refinancing Revolving Commitments, substantially concurrently with the effectiveness thereof, all the Revolving Commitments then in effect shall be terminated, and all the Revolving Loans then
outstanding, together with all interest thereon, and all other amounts accrued for the benefit of the Revolving Lenders, shall be repaid or paid, and the aggregate amount of such Refinancing Revolving Commitments does not exceeded the aggregate
amount of the Revolving Commitments so terminated and (v) in the case of any Refinancing Term Commitments, substantially concurrently with the effectiveness thereof, the Term Borrowers shall obtain Refinancing Term Loans thereunder and shall
repay or prepay then outstanding Borrowings of any Class of Term Loans in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate amount of such Refinancing Term Commitments (less the aggregate amount of accrued and unpaid interest with respect to such
outstanding Borrowings and any reasonable fees, premium and expenses relating to such refinancing) (and any such prepayment of Borrowings of any Class of Term Loans shall be applied to reduce the subsequent scheduled repayments of Borrowings of such
Class to be made pursuant to Section 4.06 in the inverse order of maturity). 
 (c) The Refinancing Facility Agreement shall set forth,
with respect to the Refinancing Commitments established thereby and the Refinancing Loans to be made thereunder, to the extent applicable, the following terms thereof: (i) the designation of such Refinancing Commitments and Refinancing Loans as
a new “Class” for all purposes hereof, (ii) the stated termination and maturity dates applicable to the Refinancing Commitments or Refinancing Loans of such Class; provided that (A) such stated termination and maturity
dates shall not be earlier than the Initial Revolving Maturity Date (in the case of Refinancing Revolving Commitments and Refinancing Revolving Loans) or the Initial Term Maturity Date (in the case of Refinancing Term Commitments and Refinancing
Term Loans), (iii) in the case of any Refinancing Term Loans, any amortization applicable thereto and the effect thereon of any prepayment of such Refinancing Term Loans, (iv) the interest rate or rates applicable to the Refinancing Loans
of such Class, (v) the fees applicable to the Refinancing Commitment or Refinancing Loans of such Class, (vi) in the case of any Refinancing Term Loans, any original issue discount applicable thereto, (vii) the initial Interest Period
or Interest Periods applicable to Refinancing Loans of such Class, (viii) any voluntary or mandatory commitment reduction or prepayment requirements applicable to Refinancing Commitments or Refinancing Loans of such Class (which prepayment
requirements, in the case of any Refinancing Term Loans, may 

  
 68 








 
provide that such Refinancing Term Loans may participate in any mandatory prepayment on a pro rata basis with the Initial Term Loans, but may not provide for prepayment requirements that are more
favorable to the Lenders holding such Refinancing Term Loans than to the Lenders holding Initial Term Loans) and any restrictions on the voluntary or mandatory reductions or prepayments of Refinancing Commitments or Refinancing Loans of such Class
and (ix) any financial covenant with which the Borrowers shall be required to comply (provided that any such financial covenant for the benefit of any Class of Refinancing Lenders shall also be for the benefit of all other Lenders).
Except as contemplated by the preceding sentence, the terms of the Refinancing Revolving Commitments and Refinancing Revolving Loans and other extensions of credit thereunder shall be substantially the same as the Initial Revolving Commitments and
Initial Revolving Loans, and the terms of the Refinancing Term Commitments and Refinancing Term Loans shall be substantially the same as the terms of the Initial Term Loans. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the
effectiveness of each Refinancing Facility Agreement. Each Refinancing Facility Agreement may, without the consent of any Lender other than the applicable Refinancing Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as
may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to give effect to the provisions of this Section 2.17, including any amendments necessary to treat the applicable Refinancing Commitments and Refinancing Loans as a
new “Class” of loans and/or commitments hereunder. 
 SECTION 3. Fees. 

3.01. Commitment Fee. The Revolving Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Initial Revolving Lender
a commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”), which shall accrue at the rate of 0.50% per annum on the average daily unused amount of the Initial Revolving Commitment of such Initial Revolving Lender during the period from and
including the Original Effective Date to but excluding the date on which the Initial Revolving Commitments terminate. Accrued commitment fees shall be payable in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date (with the first such payment being due and
payable on the Quarterly Payment Date at the end of the first full fiscal quarter of the Borrowers ending after the Original Effective Date) and on the date on which the Initial Revolving Commitments terminate, commencing on the first such date to
occur after the Original Effective Date. For purposes of computing commitment fees, an Initial Revolving Commitment of an Initial Revolving Lender shall be deemed to be used to the extent of the outstanding Initial Revolving Loans. 

3.02. Other Fees. The Borrowers agree to pay the fees set forth in the Fee Letters at the times specified therein. 

3.03. General. All Fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent
for distribution, in the case of Commitment Fees, to the Initial Revolving Lenders entitled thereto. Fees paid hereunder shall not be refundable under any circumstances. 

  
 69 








 SECTION 4. Prepayments; Payments; Taxes. 

4.01. Voluntary Prepayments. 

Subject to the provisions of Section 4.10, the Borrowers shall have the right to prepay the Loans, without premium or penalty (except, if
applicable, pursuant to Section 2.15) in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time on the following terms and conditions: 

(a) an Authorized Representative of the Borrowers shall give the Administrative Agent prior to 12:00 Noon (New York
time) at the Notice Office at least (x) in the case of the prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans, three Business Days’ prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) or (y) in the case of the prepayment of
Base Rate Loans, one Business Day’s prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing), in each case, of its intent to prepay such Loans; provided that such notice may state that such notice is conditioned upon the
occurrence of one or more events specified therein, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrowers (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified date of prepayment) if such condition is not satisfied; 

(b) subject to the requirements of Section 10.06, voluntary prepayments of any Class of Loans made by the Borrowers
pursuant to this Section shall be allocated among such Class of Loans (and, in the case of any Class of Term Loans, to the remaining scheduled installments of principal with respect to such Class of Loans) in a manner determined at the discretion of
the Borrowers; 
 (c) partial prepayments shall be in an aggregate amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in
excess thereof and shall be applied on a pro rata basis to the outstanding amount of the Loans; 
 (d) any notice of
prepayment pursuant to this Section 4.01 shall specify (1) the amount of such prepayment, (2) the prepayment date, (3) the Class of Loans to be prepaid and (4) the allocation of the amount specified pursuant to
clause (1) among the Loans specified pursuant to clause (3) and which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the applicable Lenders; and 

(e) at the time of any prepayment of the Loans pursuant to this Section 4.01 on any date other than the last day of the
Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrowers shall pay the amounts, if any, required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.09. 

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing (and as provided in clause (A) of the proviso to Section 2.14(a)), the Borrowers
may not prepay Extended Loans of any Extension Series unless such prepayment is accompanied by a pro rata repayment of Existing Loans of the Specified Existing Class of the Existing Loans from which such Extended Loans were converted (or such
Existing Loans have otherwise been repaid and terminated in full). 

  
 70 








 4.02. Event of Loss. 

(a) Upon the occurrence or happening of any Event of Loss in respect of a Collateral Vessel (such Collateral Vessel, the “Lost
Mortgaged Collateral Vessel”), and the receipt of Event of Loss Proceeds in respect thereof, the Borrowers shall cause all such Event of Loss Proceeds to be deposited into a deposit account controlled by the Collateral Agent within five
(5) Business Days of receipt thereof and held as Collateral subject to a Lien under the Collateral Agreements pending the application of such funds in accordance with the terms of this Section 4.02. If the Administrative Agent receives any
Event of Loss Proceeds, then, so long as an Event of Default has not occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent shall cause such proceeds to be deposited into a deposit account controlled by the Collateral Agent and held as Collateral
subject to a Lien under the Collateral Agreements pending the application of such funds by the Borrowers in accordance with the terms of this Section 4.02. 

(b) Within 365 days (subject to extension as provided in Section 4.02(c)) after the receipt of any Event of Loss Proceeds (or such
fewer number of days as are necessary to ensure that such Event of Loss Proceeds are not required to be utilized in respect of an asset sale offer or similar offer to repay, repurchase or redeem Indebtedness pursuant to any instrument governing
Indebtedness of any Borrower or any Guarantor), the Borrowers or the applicable Guarantor, as the case may be, shall apply such Event of Loss Proceeds at its option to any combination of the following: 

(1) to acquire and substitute one or more Substitute Vessels (and to make any Permitted Repairs with respect thereto) for such
Lost Mortgaged Collateral Vessel and make each such Substitute Vessel subject to a Ship Mortgage pursuant to which the Collateral Agent shall obtain a Lien, on a first-priority basis (subject to Permitted Collateral Liens), on such Substitute Vessel
for the benefit of itself, the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties; or 
 (2) make an Event of Loss Offer in
accordance with the terms hereof. 
 (c) A binding commitment to apply Event of Loss Proceeds from an Event of Loss in accordance with clause
(b)(1) above shall toll the 365-day period in respect of such Event of Loss Proceeds for a period not to exceed 365 days from the expiration of the aforementioned 365-day period so long as such Event of Loss Proceeds are actually used within
the later of 365 days from their receipt from such Event of Loss or 365 days from the date of such binding commitment. 
 (d)
(i) Any Event of Loss Proceeds that have not been previously applied or invested as provided in Section 4.02(b) will constitute “Excess Loss Proceeds”. Subject to Section 4.10, when the aggregate amount of Excess Loss
Proceeds exceeds $50,000,000, the Term Borrowers shall, or shall cause the applicable Guarantor to, within 10 Business Days thereof, make an offer (an “Event of Loss Offer”), solely to the Term Lenders, to repay or purchase the
maximum principal amount of Term Loans in an amount (the “Event of Loss Offer Amount”) equal to the lesser of (A) 100% of such Excess Loss Proceeds and (B) the product of (1) the ratio of (x) the Fair Market
Value of the Lost Mortgaged Collateral Vessel to (y) the Fair Market Value of all Collateral, in each case, calculated immediately prior to the applicable Event 

  
 71 








 
of Loss and (2) the aggregate principal amount of all Term Loans outstanding at the time of such Event of Loss. The offer price for the Term Loans in any Event of Loss Offer shall be equal
to 100% of the outstanding principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Term Loans repaid to the applicable repayment date, payable in cash. 

(ii) In the event that, pursuant to this Section 4.02, a Term Borrower or a Guarantor is required to commence an Event of Loss Offer, each
such Event of Loss Offer shall remain open for a period of at least 20 Business Days following its commencement and not more than 30 Business Days, except to the extent that a longer period is required by applicable law (the “Event of Loss
Offer Period”). No later than five (5) Business Days after the termination of the Event of Loss Offer Period (the “Event of Loss Offer Settlement Date”), the Term Borrowers shall apply all Excess Loss Proceeds as set
forth in this Section 4.02. 
 (iii) Upon the commencement of an Event of Loss Offer, the Term Borrowers shall deliver a notice to the
Administrative Agent at the Notice Office, which the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver to each Lender. The notice shall state: 

(1) that the Event of Loss Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 4.02 and the length of time the Event of Loss
Offer shall remain open, including the time and date the Event of Loss Offer will terminate (the “Event of Loss Offer Termination Date”); 

(2) the Event of Loss Offer Amount, the offer price (as set forth above) and the Event of Loss Offer Settlement Date; 

(3) that the Lenders electing to have any Loans purchased pursuant to any Event of Loss Offer shall be required to notify the
Term Borrowers and the Administrative Agent at least one Business Day before the Event of Loss Offer Termination Date; and 

(4) that Lenders shall be entitled to withdraw their election if the Administrative Agent receives, not later than the Business
Day prior to the Event of Loss Offer Termination Date, a facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Lender, a statement that such Lender is withdrawing its election to have its Loans purchased and the principal amount of the
Loans with respect to which such Lender is withdrawing its election. 
 (e) The aggregate principal amount of Term Loans repaid pursuant to
an Event of Loss Offer shall be applied to the remaining scheduled installments of principal with respect to the applicable Class of Term Loans on a pro rata basis. If the aggregate principal amount of Indebtedness tendered, or repaid pursuant to,
such Event of Loss Offer exceeds the Event of Loss Offer Amount, the Term Loans shall be repaid or repurchased on a pro rata basis and, if applicable, the Term Borrowers shall select such other Indebtedness for purchase based on amounts tendered or
prepaid. If any Excess Loss Proceeds remain after consummation of an Event of Loss Offer, such Excess Loss Proceeds shall no longer constitute Collateral and, at the Term Borrowers’ sole cost and expense, the Lien over such Excess Loss Proceeds
shall be released and the Term Borrowers, the Guarantors and their respective Subsidiaries may use such 

  
 72 








 
Excess Loss Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by the Loan Documents. Upon completion of each Event of Loss Offer required by this Section 4.02(e), the amount of Excess Loss
Proceeds will be reset at zero. 
 4.03. Incurrence of Indebtedness. Subject to Section 4.10, in the event and on each occasion
that any cash proceeds are received by or on behalf of any Guarantor in respect of the incurrence by any Guarantor of any Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness permitted to be incurred under Section 7.16 or permitted by the Required Lenders
pursuant to Section 10.12), the Term Borrowers shall, on the day such cash proceeds are received, prepay Term Loans in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of the amount of such cash proceeds. Subject to the provisions of Section 10.06 and
the next succeeding sentence, the Term Borrowers shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings to be prepaid and shall specify such selection in a notice delivered by an Authorized Representative of the Term Borrowers to the Administrative Agent prior to
12:00 Noon (New York time) at the Notice Office at least three (3) Business Days prior to the date of prepayment. In the event of any mandatory prepayment of Term Loans made at a time when Borrowings of Term Loans of more than one Class remain
outstanding, the Term Borrowers shall select Borrowings to be prepaid so that the aggregate amount of such prepayment is allocated among the Borrowings in respect of each Class of Term Loans pro rata based on the aggregate principal amount of
outstanding Borrowings of each such Class. The aggregate principal amount of Term Loans prepaid pursuant to this Section 4.03 shall be applied to the remaining scheduled installments of principal with respect to the applicable Class of Term
Loans on a pro rata basis. 
 4.04. Prepayment of Revolving Loans. In the event and on each occasion that the aggregate outstanding
principal amount of Revolving Loans of any Class exceeds the aggregate Revolving Commitments of such Class, the Revolving Borrowers shall prepay Borrowings of Revolving Loans of such Class in an aggregate amount equal to such excess. 

4.05. Termination and Reduction of Commitments. 

(a) Unless previously terminated, the Initial Revolving Commitments shall be automatically and permanently reduced to zero on
the Initial Revolving Maturity Date. 
 (b) The Borrowers may at any time terminate, or from time to time permanently reduce,
the Commitments of any Class; provided that (i) each partial reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000 and (ii) the Revolving Borrowers
shall not terminate or reduce the Revolving Commitments of any Class if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Revolving Loans of such Class in accordance with Section 4.04, the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Loans of
such Class outstanding at such time would exceed the aggregate amount of Revolving Commitments of such Class at such time. 

(c) The Borrowers shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments under paragraph
(b) of this Section 4.05 at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, 

  
 73 








 
specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the applicable Class of the contents
thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrowers pursuant to this Section 4.05 shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination or reduction of the Initial Revolving Commitments delivered under this paragraph may state that
such notice is conditioned upon the occurrence of one or more events specified therein, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrowers (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition
is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments of such Class.

 4.06. Repayment of Loans. 

(a) Subject to Section 4.10, the Term Borrowers shall repay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable
Initial Term Lender, Initial Term Loans in quarterly installments on each Quarterly Payment Date in an aggregate annual amount equal to $29,027,568.92 (such amounts, as adjusted from time to time pursuant to Sections 4.01, 4.02, 4.03 and 7.22,
the “Initial Term Loan Repayment Amount”), which repayments began on the first Quarterly Payment Date following the Original Effective Date, with the balance payable on the Initial Term Maturity Date. 

(b) [Reserved]. 

(c) The Revolving Borrowers shall repay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Initial Revolving
Lender, the then unpaid principal amount of each Initial Revolving Loan of such Initial Revolving Lender on the Initial Revolving Maturity Date. 

(d) All repayments pursuant to this Section 4.06 shall be accompanied by accrued and unpaid interest on the principal
amount paid to but excluding the date of payment, but shall otherwise be without premium or penalty. In the event that any Loans are purchased or acquired by any of the Borrowers or any of their respective Subsidiaries under Section 2.13 or any
portion of any Loans are converted into a new Extension Series pursuant to an Extension Amendment effected pursuant to Section 2.14, the Initial Term Loan Repayment Amount attributable to each Initial Term Loan of each Class or Extension
Series, as applicable, that was outstanding prior to and remains outstanding after such purchase or Extension Amendment, as the case may be, will not be reduced or otherwise affected by such transaction. 

4.07. Method and Place of Payment. 

Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments under this Agreement and under any Note shall be made to the Administrative
Agent for the account of the Lender or Lenders entitled thereto not later than 12:00 Noon (New York time) on the date when due and shall be made in Dollars in immediately available funds at the Payment Office. Any payments under this Agreement or
under any Note which are made later than 12:00 Noon (New 

  
 74 








 
York time) on any day shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder or under any Note shall be stated to be due on a day which
is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, with respect to payments of principal, interest shall be payable at the applicable rate during such extension. 

4.08. Net Payments; Taxes. 

Withholding Taxes 

(a) All payments made by any Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document will be made without setoff, counterclaim or
other defense. 
 (b) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall
be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable withholding agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from
any such payment by a withholding agent, then the applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance
with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings of
Indemnified Taxes applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 4.08) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made. 

(c) The Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the
option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes. 
 (d) Each Revolving Lender
which becomes a party to this Agreement on the day on which this Agreement is entered into confirms that it is a Qualifying Lender. 

(e) Each Revolving Lender which becomes a party to this Agreement pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption Agreement or a
Refinancing Facility Agreement shall confirm that it is a Qualifying Lender. 
 Indemnity 

(f) The Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the
full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 4.08) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such
Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority; provided, however, that no
Loan Party shall be required to indemnify any Recipient pursuant to this 

  
 75 








 
Section 4.08(f) for any Indemnified Taxes unless such Recipient makes written demand on the applicable Loan Party for indemnification no later than 180 days after the earlier of
(i) the date on which the relevant Governmental Authority makes written demand upon such Recipient for payment of such Indemnified Taxes or (ii) the date on which such Recipient has made payment of such Indemnified Taxes. A certificate as
to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrowers by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

(g) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any
Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so),
(ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.04(c) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case,
that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant
Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and
apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (g).

 Co-operation and provision of information 

(h) As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this
Section 4.08, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence
of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 
 (i) (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an
exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax (other than withholding Taxes imposed by the U.K.) with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably
requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without such withholding or at a
reduced rate of such withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the
Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. 

  
 76 








 (ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing: 

(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date
on which such Lender becomes a Lender under any Loan Document (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of any Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt
from U.S. Federal backup withholding tax; 
 (B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so,
deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under any Loan Document (and from time to time thereafter
upon the reasonable request of any Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable: 
 (a) in the case of a
Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an
exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS
Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty; 

(b) executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI; 

(c) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code,
(x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit I-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of any
Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and
(y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E; or 
 (d) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the
beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit I-2 or
Exhibit I-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect


  
 77 








 
partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit I-4 on
behalf of each such direct and indirect partner; 
 (C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do
so, deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter
upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. Federal withholding Tax, duly completed,
together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and 

(D) if a payment made to a Recipient under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. Federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA
if such Recipient were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Recipient shall deliver to the Borrowers and the
Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by
Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under
FATCA and to determine that such Recipient has complied with such Recipient’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall
include any amendments made to FATCA after the Original Effective Date. 
 U.K. Passport Scheme 

(j) (i) Any U.K. Treaty Lender which on the Restatement Effective Date (x) holds a passport under the HMRC DT Treaty
Passport Scheme and (y) wishes such scheme to apply to any Revolving Loans it may make to Capricorn Holdings under this Agreement, shall confirm its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence opposite its name in Annex I.

 (ii) A U.K. Treaty Lender which becomes a Lender hereunder after the day on which this Agreement is entered into that
(x) holds a passport under the HMRC DT Treaty Passport Scheme and (y) wishes such scheme to apply to any Revolving Loans it may make to Capricorn Holdings under this Agreement, shall provide its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction
of tax residence to Capricorn Holdings and the Administrative Agent (and, where applicable, in the Assignment and Assumption Agreement, the Extension Amendment and the Refinancing Facility Agreement). 

  
 78 








 (k) (i) If a Lender has confirmed its scheme reference number and its
jurisdiction of tax residence in accordance with paragraph (j) above, Capricorn Holdings shall make a U.K. Borrower DTTP Filing with respect to such Lender within thirty (30) Business Days following the Restatement Effective Date or, if
later, thirty (30) Business Days before the first interest payment is due to such Lender and shall promptly provide such Lender with a copy of such filing, provided that if Capricorn Holdings has made a U.K. Borrower DTTP Filing in
respect of such Lender but: 
 (A) such U.K. Borrower DTTP Filing has been rejected by HM Revenue & Customs; or 

(B) HM Revenue & Customs has not given Capricorn Holdings authority to make payments to such Lender without a
deduction for tax within 60 days of the date of such U.K. Borrower DTTP Filing; 
 and, in each case, Capricorn Holdings has
notified that Lender in writing, then such Lender and Capricorn Holdings shall co-operate in completing any additional procedural formalities necessary for Capricorn Holdings to obtain authorization to make that payment under this Agreement without
U.K. withholding or deduction. 
 (ii) If a U.K. Treaty Lender has not confirmed its scheme reference number and jurisdiction
of tax residence in accordance with paragraph (j) above, Capricorn Holdings shall not (unless the Lender otherwise agrees) make a U.K. Borrower DTTP Filing or file any other form relating to the HMRC DT Treaty Passport Scheme in respect of that
Lender’s Commitment(s) or its participation in any Loan, but that Lender and Capricorn Holdings shall co-operate in completing any procedural formalities necessary for Capricorn Holdings to obtain authorization to make payments to the Lender
under this Agreement without U.K. withholding or deduction. 
 (iii) Capricorn Holdings shall, promptly on making a U.K.
Borrower DTTP Filing, deliver a copy of such U.K. Borrower DTTP Filing to the Administrative Agent for delivery to the relevant Lender. 

Loans to Operating 

(l) If Operating would otherwise be required to make a withholding on account of Taxes imposed by the U.K. from a payment to a
Lender, it shall notify the Administrative Agent and the Lender or Lenders in question, and any Lender which is a U.K. Treaty Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent and Operating of that fact and shall co-operate with Operating in completing
any procedural formalities necessary for Operating to obtain authorization to make payments to the Lender under this Agreement without U.K. withholding or deduction. 

Miscellaneous 

(m) Each Recipient agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate
in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. 

  
 79 








 Tax Credit 

(n) If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a Tax Credit of any Taxes as
to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 4.08 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 4.08), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such Tax Credit (but only to the
extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 4.08 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such Tax Credit), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest
paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such Tax Credit). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (n) (plus
any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such Tax Credit to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
paragraph (n), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (n) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position
than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such Tax Credit had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such
Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other
Person. 
 (o) Each party’s obligations under this Section 4.08 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the
Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Loan Document Obligations under any Loan Document. 

(p) For purposes of this Section 4.08, the term “applicable law” includes FATCA. 

4.09. Application of Proceeds. All monies collected by the Administrative Agent (whether received from the Collateral Agent or
otherwise) upon any sale or other disposition of the Collateral of each Loan Party, together with all other monies received by the Administrative Agent (whether received from the Collateral Agent or otherwise) under and in accordance with this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including as a result of any distribution in respect of the Collateral in any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding) (except to the extent released in accordance with the applicable provisions of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document), shall be applied to the payment of the Secured Obligations pursuant to and in accordance with Section 8.02. 

  
 80 








 4.10. Priority of Revolving Loans. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in
this Agreement or any other Loan Document, unless the Required Revolving Lenders otherwise agree, (x) if any Revolving Lender has any Revolving Obligations then outstanding and any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no
voluntary prepayment of any Term Loans shall be permitted pursuant to Section 4.01 and (y) if any Specified Default exists at the time that any mandatory repayment or prepayment of Term Loans is otherwise required to be made (or an offer
therefor is required to be made) under Section 4.02, Section 4.03, Section 4.06 or Section 7.22, then (i) the Revolving Loans shall first be repaid in the amount otherwise required to be applied to the repayment or
prepayment of Term Loans under such Section (or, in the case of Section 4.02, in the amount otherwise required to be offered to the Term Lenders under such Section) in the absence of this Section 4.10 and (ii) after application
pursuant to the preceding clause (i), any excess portion of such mandatory repayment or prepayment of Term Loans not so applied shall be applied to the repayment or prepayment of Term Loans as otherwise required under such Section (or, in the case
of Section 4.02, offered to the Term Lenders as provided in such Section) in the absence of this Section 4.10. If any Lender collects or receives any amounts on account of the Loan Document Obligations to which it is not entitled as a
result of the application of this Section 4.10, then such Lender shall hold the same in trust for the Revolving Lenders and shall forthwith deliver the same to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Revolving Lenders, to be applied in
accordance with this Section 4.10 or, if then applicable, Section 8.02. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this Section 4.10 is intended to constitute and shall be deemed to constitute a “subordination
agreement” within the meaning of Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code and is intended to be and shall be interpreted to be enforceable to the maximum extent permitted pursuant to applicable non-bankruptcy law. 

SECTION 5. Conditions Precedent.

relate to an earlier date, in which case they shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date; provided that any representation and warranty that is qualified as to “materiality,” “Material Adverse

 SECTION 6. Representations, Warranties and Agreements. 

In order to induce the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to make the Loans as provided herein, each Loan Party makes the following
representations, warranties and agreements, all of which shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Notes and the making of the Loans. 

6.01. Corporate/Limited Liability Company/Limited Partnership Status. Each Loan Party (a) is a duly organized or incorporated and
validly existing corporation, limited liability company, limited partnership, company or other business entity, as the case may be, in good standing (or, if applicable in a foreign jurisdiction, enjoys the equivalent status under the laws of such
jurisdiction of organization outside the United States) under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization or incorporation, (b) has the corporate or other applicable power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and assets
and to transact the business in which it is engaged and presently proposes to engage in all material respects and (c) is duly qualified and is authorized to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where the ownership, leasing
or operation of its properties or the conduct of its business requires such qualifications, except for failures to be so qualified or in good standing which, either individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect. Except to the extent permitted by this Agreement, no Loan Party has taken any corporate action nor have any other steps been taken or legal proceedings been started or (to the best of its knowledge) threatened in writing
against any of them for winding up, or dissolution or for the appointment of a liquidator, administrator, receiver, administrative receiver, trustee or similar officer of any of them or any or all of their assets or revenues nor have they sought any
other relief under any applicable Debtor Relief Law. 
 6.02. Corporate Power and Authority. Each Loan Party has the corporate or
other applicable power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under each of the Loan Documents to which it is party and has taken all necessary corporate or other 

  
 85 








 
applicable action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance by it of each of such Loan Documents. Each Loan Party has duly executed and delivered each of the Loan Documents to which it
is party, and each of such Loan Documents constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation enforceable in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that the enforceability thereof may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws generally affecting creditors’ rights and by equitable principles (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in equity or at law). 

6.03. No Violation. The entrance into each applicable Loan Document by each Loan Party and the performance by each Loan Party of its
obligations thereunder, (a) will not contravene in any material respect any applicable provision of any law, statute, rule or regulation or any order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental instrumentality, (b) will not
conflict with or result in any breach of any terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under (nor would it, with notice or passage of time or both, constitute a violation of or default under), or result in the creation
or imposition of (or the obligation to create or impose) any Lien (except pursuant to the Collateral Agreements) upon any of the properties or assets of any Loan Party pursuant to the terms of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, credit agreement
or loan agreement, or any other agreement, contract or instrument, in each case to which any Loan Party is a party or by which it or any of its properties or assets is bound or to which it may be subject other than, solely with respect to this
clause (b), any violation, default or Lien which could not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect or (c) will not violate any provision of the certificate or articles of incorporation or
by-laws (or equivalent organizational documents) of any Loan Party. 
 6.04. Governmental Approvals. No order, consent, approval,
license, authorization or validation of, or filing, recording, qualification or registration with (except for those that have otherwise been obtained or made on or prior to the Restatement Effective Date and are in full force and effect), or
exemption by, any governmental or public body or authority, or any subdivision thereof, is required to be obtained or made by, or on behalf of, any Loan Party to authorize, or is required to be obtained or made by, or on behalf of, any Loan Party in
connection with the execution, delivery and performance by any Loan Party of any Loan Document other than any such order, consent, approval, license, authorization or valuation of, or filing, recording, qualification or registration where the
failure to so make or obtain could not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 6.05.
Financial Statements; Financial Condition; Undisclosed Liabilities; Projections; etc. 
 (a) The (x) unaudited
pro forma consolidated and combined carve-out balance sheet of SDLP and (y) unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet of the Borrowers and the Guarantors, in each case as of March 31, 2014 (including the notes thereto) (collectively, the
“Pro Forma Balance Sheets”), a copy of which have heretofore been furnished to each Lender pursuant to Section 5.01(j), have been prepared giving effect (as if such events had occurred on such date) to (i) the 2014
Restatement Refinancing, (ii) the Loans to be made on the Restatement Effective Date and the use of proceeds thereof and (iii) the payment of fees and expenses in connection with the foregoing. The Pro Forma Balance Sheets have been
prepared based on the best 

  
 86 








 
information available to the Borrowers as of the date of delivery thereof, and present fairly, on a pro forma basis, the estimated financial position of SDLP and its consolidated Subsidiaries, on
the one hand, and the Borrowers and the Guarantors, on the other hand, in each case as of March 31, 2014, assuming that the events specified in the preceding sentence had actually occurred at such date. 

(b) [Reserved]. 

(c) On and as of the Restatement Effective Date, and after giving effect to the Transactions and the Liens created by the Loan
Parties in connection therewith, (i) the sum of the assets, at a fair valuation, of the Loan Parties on a consolidated basis exceed the sum of the stated liabilities and identified contingent liabilities, of the Loan Parties on a consolidated
basis; (ii) the Loan Parties on a consolidated basis have not incurred and do not intend to incur, and do not believe that they will incur, debts beyond their ability to pay such debt as such debts mature (taking into account potential future
incurrences of Indebtedness, refinancings of existing Indebtedness, equity issuances and dispositions of assets); (iii) the Loan Parties on a consolidated basis will not have unreasonably small capital with which to conduct the businesses in
which they are engaged as such businesses are now conducted and are proposed to be conducted following the Restatement Effective Date; and (iv) the Loan Parties, taken as a whole, are not otherwise insolvent under the standards set forth in
applicable law. 
 (d) Except as disclosed in the financial report most recently delivered pursuant to Section 7.05 of
the Original Credit Agreement, there were as of the Restatement Effective Date no liabilities or obligations with respect to the Loan Parties of any nature whatsoever (whether absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise and whether or not due) which,
either individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to be material to the Loan Parties taken as a whole. As of the Restatement Effective Date, no Borrower knows of any reasonable basis for the assertion against it or any Guarantor
of any liability or obligation of any nature whatsoever that is not fully disclosed in the financial report most recently delivered pursuant to Section 7.05 of the Original Credit Agreement which, either individually or in the aggregate, could
reasonably be expected to be material to the Loan Parties taken as a whole. 
 (e) On and as of the Restatement Effective
Date, the Projections which have been delivered to the Lenders prior to the Restatement Effective Date have been prepared in good faith and are based on assumptions believed by the Borrowers to be reasonable; it being recognized by the Lenders,
however, that projections as to future events are not to be viewed as facts and that the actual results during the period or periods covered by the Projections may differ from the projected results. 

(f) Since December 31, 2013, there has been no change in the operations, business, properties, or financial condition of
the Loan Parties taken as a whole that, individually or in the aggregate, has had, or could reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect. 

  
 87 








 6.06. True and Complete Disclosure. All information (taken as a whole), other than
Projections and other forward-looking information, furnished by or on behalf of any of the Loan Parties in writing to the Administrative Agent or any Lender (including all information contained in the Loan Documents) for purposes of or in connection
with this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any transaction contemplated herein or therein is true and accurate in all material respects on the date as of which such information is dated or certified, does not contain any untrue statement of a
material fact and does not omit to state any material fact necessary to make such information (taken as a whole) not misleading in any material respect at such time in light of the circumstances under which such information was provided. 

6.07. Use of Proceeds; Margin Regulations. 

(a) All proceeds of all Initial Term Loans made on the Original Effective Date either were used (i) to consummate the 2014
Refinancing, (ii) to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with the 2014 Refinancing and the other Transactions (as defined in the Original Credit Agreement), (iii) to make the portion of the Designated Intercompany Loan made on the
Original Effective Date and (iv) for general corporate purposes of the Borrowers, the Guarantors and their respective Subsidiaries. All proceeds of all Initial Term Loans made on the Restatement Effective Date shall be used (i) to
consummate the 2014 Restatement Refinancing, (ii) to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with the 2014 Restatement Refinancing and the other Transactions, (iii) to make the portion of the Designated Intercompany Loan to be made on
the Restatement Effective Date and (iv) for general corporate purposes of the Borrowers, the Guarantors and their respective Subsidiaries. 

(b) All proceeds of all Revolving Loans shall be used for general corporate purposes of the Borrowers, the Guarantors and their
respective Subsidiaries. 
 (c) No Loan Party is engaged principally, or as one of its important activities, in the business
of extending credit for the purpose of buying or carrying Margin Stock. No proceeds of any Loan will be used for any purpose which will violate or be inconsistent with the provisions of the Margin Regulations. 

6.08. Tax Returns; Payments; Tax Treatment. Each Loan Party has timely filed with the appropriate taxing authority all material returns
for taxes or has been granted an extension therefor (the “Returns”) required to be filed by, or with respect to the income, properties or operations of, such Loan Party. Each of the Loan Parties have paid all material taxes and
assessments required to be paid by it, other than those that are being contested in good faith and for which an adequate reserve for accrual has been established in accordance with GAAP. There is no action, suit, proceeding, investigation, audit or
claim now pending or, to the knowledge of any Loan Party, threatened by any authority regarding any taxes relating to any Loan Party that could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

  
 88 








 6.09. Compliance with ERISA. 

(a) No ERISA Event has occurred which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, nor has any event, condition or
underfunding occurred with respect to any (i) Plan (whether or not terminated), (ii) “Multiemployer Plan” or (iii) plan or arrangement, whether or not terminated, which provides medical, health, life insurance or other
welfare-type benefits to any retiree or other former employee (except for continued medical benefit coverage required to be provided under Section 4980B of the Code or as required under applicable state, local or other law) which, in any case,
could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Loan Party is an entity whose underlying assets are “plan assets” (as defined in Section 3(42) of ERISA) subject to ERISA; no “reportable event” (as defined
in Section 4043 of ERISA) has occurred with respect to any Plan for which any Loan Party would have any liability which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; no Loan Party has incurred, nor expects to incur, liability
under Sections 412 or 4971 of the Code which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; and each Plan for which any Loan Party would have any liability that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code is so
qualified in all material respects and nothing has occurred, whether by action or by failure to act, which would reasonably be expected to cause the loss of such qualification resulting in a Material Adverse Effect. 

(b) Each Foreign Pension Plan has been maintained in compliance in all material respects with its terms and with the requirements of any and
all applicable laws, statutes, rules, regulations and orders and has been maintained, where required, in good standing with applicable regulatory authorities except for any noncompliance which could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material
Adverse Effect. No material liability to any applicable governmental authority or any Foreign Pension Plan or any related trust has been or is expected to be incurred by any Loan Party or any ERISA Affiliate. All contributions required to be made
with respect to a Foreign Pension Plan have been timely made except for any noncompliance which could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No Loan Party has incurred any obligation in connection with the termination of,
or withdrawal from, any Foreign Pension Plan, except that which could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The present value of the accrued benefit liabilities (whether or not vested) under each Foreign Pension Plan,
determined as of the end of the Borrowers’ most recently ended fiscal year on the basis of then current actuarial assumptions, each of which is reasonable, did not (i) materially exceed the current value of the assets of such Foreign
Pension Plan (other than a severance plan or similar arrangement providing for payments on termination of employment) allocable to such benefit liabilities, or (ii) exceed the current value of the assets of a Foreign Pension Plan that is a
severance plan or similar arrangement providing for payments on termination of employment, except that could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 

6.10. Collateral; the Security Agreements. 

(a) Each Borrower and each Guarantor owns the Collateral pledged by it under the Collateral Agreements, free and clear of any
security interest, mortgage, pledge, lien, encumbrance or claim, other than Permitted Collateral Liens. The Collateral Agreements, when duly executed and delivered in accordance with their terms by the


  
 89 








 
parties thereto, will represent all of the collateral agreements, security agreements, pledge agreements and other similar agreements necessary to grant a valid, legally binding and enforceable
first-priority security interest in the Collateral (subject to Permitted Collateral Liens) in favor of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties. 

(b) The Security Agreement is effective to create in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties
legal, valid and enforceable Liens on, and security interests in, the Collateral governed thereby and, (i) when financing statements are filed in the offices specified on Schedule 6.10 and (ii) upon the taking of possession or
control by the Collateral Agent of the Pledged Securities with respect to which a security interest may be perfected only by possession or control (which possession or control shall be given to the Collateral Agent, to the extent possession or
control by the Collateral Agent is required by the Security Agreement), the Liens created by the Security Agreement shall constitute fully perfected first-priority Liens on, and security interests in, all right, title and interest of the grantors in
such Collateral (other than such Collateral in which a security interest cannot be perfected under the UCC as in effect at the relevant time in the relevant jurisdiction by the filing of a financing statement or by possession or control by the
Collateral Agent), in each case subject to no Liens other than Permitted Collateral Liens. 
 (c) Upon proper filing in the
appropriate filing offices or recording at the Panama Ship Registry (in the case of the West Capella, the West Aquarius, the West Sirius, the West Auriga and the West Capricorn) and the Bahamas Ship Registry (in
the case of the West Leo), the Ship Mortgages will create valid, perfected and enforceable first priority mortgages on the West Capella, the West Leo, the West Aquarius, the West Sirius, the West Auriga and
the West Capricorn securing the payment of the Secured Obligations in accordance with the terms thereof and upon such filing, the West Capella, the West Leo, the West Aquarius, the West Sirius, the West
Auriga and the West Capricorn will be free and clear of all security interests, mortgages, pledges, liens, encumbrances and claims of record, except for the Ship Mortgages and Permitted Collateral Liens. 

(d) Each Collateral Agreement (other than the Ship Mortgages and the Security Agreement) delivered on or prior the Restatement
Effective Date or pursuant to Section 7.07 is or will, upon execution and delivery thereof, be, as the case may be, effective to create in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties legal, valid and enforceable
first-priority Liens on, and security interests in all of the Loan Parties’ right, title and interest in and to the Collateral governed thereby, and (i) when all appropriate filings or recordings are made in the appropriate offices as may
be required under applicable law and (ii) upon the taking of possession or control by the Collateral Agent of such Collateral with respect to which a security interest may be perfected only by possession or control (which possession or control
shall be given to the Collateral Agent, to the extent required by any Collateral Agreements), in each case as and to the extent required by the Collateral Agreements, the Liens created by such Collateral Agreements will constitute fully perfected
first-priority Liens on, and security interests in, all right, title and interest of the Loan Parties in such Collateral, in each case subject to no Liens other than the applicable Permitted Collateral Liens.

noncompliances, individually or in the aggregate, which could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

each Loan Party and the organizational identification number (if any) of each Loan Party.

Environmental Laws, (ii) there are no pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrowers, threatened Environmental Claims against or affecting any Loan Party or any Vessel, Real Property or other facility owned, leased or operated by any Loan Party

longer owned, leased or operated by any Loan Party), (iii) no Loan Party has become subject to any liability, obligation or cost pursuant to Environmental Law and (iv) there are no facts, circumstances, conditions or occurrences in respect
of the business or operations of any Loan Party as currently conducted or planned (or, to the knowledge of the Borrowers, any of the Loan Parties’ respective predecessors) or any Vessel, Real Property or other facility currently owned or

 91 








 
Vessel, Real Property or other facility) that could form the basis of an Environmental Claim against any Loan Party with respect to any Loan Party or any Vessel, Real Property or other facility
owned or operated by any Loan Party, or to cause such Vessel, Real Property or other facility owned or operated by any Loan Party to be subject to any restrictions on its ownership, occupancy, use or transferability under any Environmental Law. 

(b) Hazardous Materials have at all times been generated, used, treated or stored on, or transported to or from, or Released
on, under, to or from, any Vessel, Real Property or other facility owned, leased or operated by any Loan Party in a manner so as not to result in liability under Environmental Laws applicable to the country in which each Vessel operates against any
Loan Party, except where such liability, either individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

(c) All of the Vessels comply with all Environmental Laws, and no cost is required to maintain such compliance or, to the
knowledge of the Borrowers, to achieve compliance with pending requirements under Environmental Laws except for any such noncompliance or costs, individually or in the aggregate, as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
The Loan Parties have made all required payments to statutory environmental insurance schemes required under Environmental Law and other environmental insurance schemes applicable to the Loan Parties except for any such failure to make payments,
individually or in the aggregate, as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 6.17. No Default. As of
the Restatement Effective Date, no Loan Party is in default under or with respect to any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, charter, credit agreement or loan agreement, or any other agreement, permit, contract or instrument, in each case to which
such Loan Party is a party or by which it or any of its property or assets is bound or to which it may be subject, except for such defaults, individually or in the aggregate, as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No
Default has occurred and is continuing. 
 6.18. Patents, Licenses, Franchises and Formulas. The Loan Parties own, or have the right
to use, all patents, trademarks, trade secrets, service marks, trade names, copyrights, licenses, franchises, know-how (including trade secrets and other unpatented and unpatentable proprietary or confidential information, systems or procedures) and

6.19. Anti-Corruption Laws. No Loan Party or, to the Borrowers’ knowledge, any director, officer, employee, affiliate or agent of
any Loan Party, has taken any action, directly or indirectly, that would result in a violation by any such Persons of the FCPA, including making use of the mails or any means or instrumentality of interstate commerce corruptly in furtherance of an
offer, payment, promise to pay or authorization of the payment of any money, 

  
 92 








 
or other property, gift, promise to give, or authorization of the giving of anything of value to any “foreign official” (as such term is defined in the FCPA) or any non-U.S. political

6.20. Insurance. Each Loan Party maintains all insurance required to be maintained pursuant to, and in accordance with the requirements
of, Section 7.01. No Borrower has any reason to believe that any insurer providing coverage to any Loan Party is not financially sound or that any Loan Party will not be able (i) to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such

properties and assets that are reflected in the balance sheets referred to in the unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet of the Borrowers and the Guarantors as at March 31, 2014 (including the notes thereto), including any leasehold

not now knowingly engaged in and will not knowingly engage in any dealings or transactions with any Person, or in any country or territory, that at the time of the dealing or transaction was, to the Borrowers’ knowledge, the subject of
Sanctions. 
 (c) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Borrower represents and warrants that, in relation
to the borrowing by the Borrowers of any Loans, the performance and discharge of each Borrower’s and each Guarantor’s obligations and liabilities under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document and the transactions and other
arrangements effected or contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to which such Borrower or Guarantor is a party, such Borrower and Guarantor is acting for its own account and that the foregoing will not involve or lead to a
contravention of any law, official requirement or other regulatory measure or procedure which has been implemented to combat Money Laundering.

 6.24. Form of Documentation. Each of the Loan Documents is or, when executed, will be in
proper legal form under the laws of the jurisdiction which governs such documents for the enforcement thereof under such laws, as applicable, subject only to such matters which may affect enforceability arising under the law of the State of New
York. To ensure the legality, validity, enforceability or admissibility in evidence of each such Loan Document under the laws of the jurisdiction which governs such document, it is not necessary that any Loan Document or any other document be filed
or recorded with any court or other authority in such applicable jurisdiction, except as have been made, or will be made. 
 6.25. Place
of Business. None of the Loan Parties has a place of business in any jurisdiction which requires any of the Collateral Agreements to be filed or registered in that jurisdiction to ensure the validity of the Collateral Agreements to which it is a
party unless all such filings and registrations have been made or will be made. 
 6.26. No Immunity. No Loan Party is a sovereign
entity or has immunity on the grounds of sovereignty or otherwise has any immunity from the jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process under the laws of the United States, or the Republic of the Marshall Islands or any political
subdivisions thereof. A final and conclusive judgment for a sum of money obtained in a court in any jurisdiction inside or outside the United States arising out of or in connection with any Loan Document would be enforceable against any Loan Party
in the courts of the Republic of the Marshall Islands. 
 6.27. Labor Matters. No labor dispute with the employees of any Loan Party
exists or, to the knowledge of the Borrowers, is imminent which, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

6.28. Existence. Each Borrower and each Guarantor that is organized under the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands is a
“non-resident” corporation, limited partnership or limited liability company, as the case may be, under the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands, as such term is utilized in the Marshall Islands Act governing a corporation, limited
partnership or limited liability company, as the case may be, and the Marshall Islands Secured Transactions Act of 2007. 
 6.29.
Litigation. There is no action, suit, claim, investigation or proceeding pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrowers, threatened against any Loan Party or to which any of the properties or assets of any Loan Party is subject before any
court, arbitrator or administrative or governmental agency that, if determined adversely to any Loan Party, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

SECTION 7. Covenants. The Borrowers covenant and agree that from and after the Original Effective Date and until all Loans, together
with interest, Fees and all other Loan Document Obligations (other than indemnities described in Section 10.13 which are not then due and payable) incurred hereunder and thereunder, are paid in full: 

7.01. Maintenance of Property; Insurance. 

(a) The Borrowers will, and will cause each of the Guarantors to, (i) keep all material property necessary to the business
of the Borrowers and the Guarantors in 

  
 95 








 
good working order and condition (ordinary wear and tear and loss or damage by casualty or condemnation excepted) with such exceptions as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect and (ii) furnish to the Administrative Agent copies of the insurance carried on the Collateral Vessels. 

(b) The Borrowers will, and will cause each of the Guarantors to: 

(i) insure and keep each Collateral Vessel insured or cause or procure each Collateral Vessel to be insured and to be kept
insured at no expense to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent in regard to (collectively, the “Insurances”): 
  

	 	(a)	hull and machinery (including increased value insurance and freight interest insurances, if any); 

  

	 	(b)	war risks (including common conditions and exclusions); 

  

	 	(c)	protection and indemnity risks (including vessel pollution risks); 

  

	 	(d)	loss of hire, to the extent reasonably deemed prudent by the Borrowers in light of the cost of obtaining such insurances; and 

  

	 	(e)	such other insurances as a prudent owner of similar vessels of the same age and type would obtain or would legally be required to obtain when operating in the same trade and geographic area as such Collateral Vessel, as
well as any insurances required to meet the requirements of the jurisdiction where such Collateral Vessel is employed; 


provided that none of the Borrowers or the Guarantors shall be required to procure or maintain any insurance otherwise required to be
procured or maintained under this clause (i), if such insurance is not commercially available in the commercial insurance market; provided further that the Insurances referred to in each of Section 7.01(b)(i)(a) and
Section 7.01(b)(i)(b) shall not be required to exceed, in the aggregate for all Collateral Vessels, 125% of the outstanding principal amount of the Loans and unused Commitments (i.e. the Insurances referred to in each of
Section 7.01(b)(i)(a) and Section 7.01(b)(i)(b) for any Collateral Vessel shall not be required to exceed an amount that is equal to the quotient of (x) 125% of the outstanding principal amount of the Loans and unused Commitments,
divided by (y) the number of Collateral Vessels that are subject to a Ship Mortgage at the time of determination); provided further that, subject to the foregoing limitations, the Insurances referred to in Section 7.01(b)(i) shall
be maintained in a manner consistent with the applicable Insurances in place on the Original Effective Date and consistent with insurance obtained by similarly situated vessel owners engaged in the same or similar business; 

  
 96 








 (ii) effect the Insurances or cause or procure the same to be effected: 

 

	 	(a)	in such amounts and upon such terms and with such deductibles as shipowners engaged in the same or similar business and similarly situated would deem commercially prudent under the circumstances; and 


 

	 	(b)	through the owner’s approved broker (the “Owner’s Insurance Broker”) and reputable independent insurance companies and/or underwriters (including mutual insurance schemes and /or captive
insurance schemes) in Europe, North America, the Far East and other established insurance markets except that the insurances against protection and indemnity risks may be effected by the entry of the Collateral Vessels with protection and indemnity
associations which are members of the IGA or, if the IGA has disbanded and there is no successor or replacement body of associations, other leading protection and indemnity associations and the insurances against war risks may be effected by the
entry of the Collateral Vessel with leading war risks associations (hereinafter called the “Insurers”); 


(iii) renew or replace all such Insurances or cause or procure the same to be renewed or replaced before the relevant policies
or contracts expire and to procure that the Owner’s Insurance Broker and/or the relevant protection and indemnity association or war risks association shall promptly confirm in writing to the Collateral Agent as and when each such renewal or
replacement has been effected; 
 (iv) duly and punctually pay, or cause duly and punctually to be paid, all premiums, calls,
contributions or other sums that are due and payable in respect of all such Insurances, to produce or to cause to be produced all relevant receipts when so required by the Collateral Agent and duly and punctually to perform and observe or to cause
duly and punctually to be performed and observed any other obligations and conditions under all such Insurances; 
 (v)
procure that all policies, binders, cover notes or other instruments of the Insurances referred to in Section 7.01(b)(i)(a), (b) and (d) above shall be taken out in the name of any Borrower or any Guarantor and shall incorporate a
loss payable clause naming the Collateral Agent as loss payee prepared in compliance with the terms of the Insurance Assignment; 

(vi) procure that copies of all original such instruments of Insurances shall be from time to time delivered to the Collateral
Agent after receipt by a Borrower or a Guarantor thereof; 
 (vii) not employ any Collateral Vessel or suffer any Collateral
Vessel to be employed otherwise than in conformity with the terms of all policies, bindings, cover 

  
 97 








 
notes or other instruments of the Insurances (including any warranties express or implied therein) without first obtaining the written consent of the Insurers to such employment (if required by
such Insurers) and complying with such requirements as to extra premiums or otherwise as the Insurers may prescribe; 

(viii) cause any proceeds in respect of the Insurances referred to in paragraph (i) above (except, if an Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing, clause (c) and, as applicable, (e) of such paragraph) to be paid to the Borrowers or any Guarantor that then owns the Collateral Vessel (subject to provisions as to named insureds, additional insureds and
loss payees in favor of the Collateral Agent as required by this Section 7.01(b)); and 
 (ix) upon the request of the
Collateral Agent, do all reasonable things necessary, proper and desirable, and execute and deliver all documents and instruments, to enable the Collateral Agent to collect or recover any moneys to become due in respect of the Insurances. 

(c) In addition to the foregoing, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent may effect (i) at the Borrowers’
expense and for the exclusive benefit of the Secured Parties, when any of the Collateral Vessels is or may be located in an Area (as defined below), insurance policies such as mortgagees’ additional perils and pollution insurance on such terms
as the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, may approve and (ii) at the Lenders’ expense and for the exclusive benefit of the Secured Parties, mortgagees’ interest insurance on such terms as the
Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, may approve (and such policies referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) shall constitute “Insurances” for purposes of this Agreement). The Borrowers will notify the
Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent in writing prior to any Collateral Vessel entering an Area. For purposes hereof, the term “Area” shall mean the territorial waters of the United States of America or the Exclusive
Economic Zone (as defined in the US Oil Pollution Act, 1990) or the territorial waters of any other jurisdiction having (in the Administrative Agent’s or the Collateral Agent’s reasonable opinion) similar or comparable pollution or
environmental protection legislation specified from time to time by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent to the Borrowers. 

(d) The Administrative Agent shall be entitled, on the date on which any Collateral Vessel becomes subject to a Ship Mortgage
in accordance with the terms hereof and at any time and from time following any material change of terms of the Insurances with respect to any Collateral Vessel, to commission an independent firm of insurance consultants to review and provide an
insurance report upon the adequacy of the Insurances, as placed or renewed by Owner’s Insurance Brokers; provided that in no event shall the Administrative Agent commission more than one such report for any Collateral Vessel in any
twelve-month period. Costs and expenses in respect of each such report shall be for the account of the Borrowers and shall be payable upon demand. 

7.02. Existence; Conduct of Business. The Borrowers shall, and shall cause each Guarantor to, do or cause to be done all things
necessary to preserve and keep in full force and 

  
 98 








 
effect its legal existence and the rights, licenses, permits, privileges, franchises, patents, copyrights, trademarks and trade names material to the conduct of the business of the Borrowers and
the Guarantors, taken as a whole; provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit any merger, consolidation, liquidation or dissolution permitted under Section 7.14. 

7.03. Operation of Collateral Vessels; Ship Registry, Name and Flag. 

(a) The Borrowers shall cause each Guarantor that owns or operates one or more Collateral Vessels to, at all times while owning
or operating such Collateral Vessels, operate or cause such Collateral Vessels to be operated in a manner consistent with reasonable industry practice. 

(b) The Borrowers shall (i) procure that each Collateral Vessel is registered in the name of the applicable Loan Party in
the relevant Ship Registry (which, as of the Restatement Effective Date, shall be the Panama Ship Registry (in the case of the West Capella, the West Aquarius, the West Sirius, the West Auriga and the West
Capricorn) or the Bahamas Ship Registry (in the case of the West Leo)) and (ii) not change the Ship Registry, name or flag of any Collateral Vessel or parallel register any Vessel in any Ship Registry without the prior written
consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that if any such change referred to in this clause (ii) would be to a Ship Registry, flag or parallel register other than any
Acceptable Ship Registry, then such change shall be subject to the prior written consent of each Lender and Secured Counterparty. 
 7.04.
Payment of Obligations. The Borrowers shall, and shall cause each Guarantor to, pay its material obligations (other than Indebtedness and any Hedging Obligations), including material Tax liabilities, before the same shall become delinquent or
in default, except where (a) the validity or amount thereof is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings, (b) such Borrower or such Guarantor has set aside on its books adequate reserves with respect thereto in accordance
with GAAP and (c) the failure to make payment pending such contest could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 

7.05. Reports. 

(a) So long as any Loans are outstanding and whether or not the Borrowers are then subject to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of
the Exchange Act, the Borrowers will furnish to the Administrative Agent: 
 (i) within two calendar months after the end of
each of the first three fiscal quarters in each fiscal year, (x) quarterly reports containing SDLP’s unaudited consolidated and combined carve-out balance sheet and related statement of operations, changes in members’
capital/owners’ and drop-down companies’ equity and cash flow for and as of the end of such fiscal quarter and for the year-to-date period (with comparable financial statements for the corresponding fiscal quarter and year-to-date period
of the immediately preceding fiscal year) and (y) quarterly reports containing unaudited quarterly combined financial information that shows revenues, EBITDA, total 

  
 99 








 
assets, total debt, shareholders’ equity, cash and cash equivalents and capital expenditures for and as of the end of such fiscal quarter and for the year-to-date period (with comparable
financial information for the corresponding fiscal quarter and year-to-date period of the immediately preceding fiscal year), in each case, with respect to (a) the Borrowers and the Guarantors (taken as a whole) and (b) the Collateral
Vessels (taken as a whole); 
 (ii) within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, with respect to SDLP, an annual report
on Form 20-F (or any successor form) containing the information required to be contained therein for such fiscal year; 

(iii) within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, with respect to (x) the Borrowers and Guarantors (taken as a
whole) and (y) the Collateral Vessels (taken as a whole), unaudited annual combined financial information that shows revenues, EBITDA, total assets, total debt, shareholders’ equity, cash and cash equivalents and capital expenditures as of
the end of and for such fiscal year; and 
 (iv) with respect to SDLP, at or prior to such times as would be required to be
filed or furnished to the SEC as a “foreign private issuer” subject to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, all such other reports and information that SDLP would have been required to file with or furnish to the SEC pursuant
thereto; 
 provided, however, that to the extent that SDLP ceases to qualify as a “foreign private issuer” within the meaning of
the Exchange Act, whether or not SDLP is then subject to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Borrowers will furnish to the Administrative Agent, so long as any Loans are outstanding, within 30 days of the respective dates on which
SDLP would be required to file such documents with the SEC if it was required to file such documents under the Exchange Act, all reports and other information that would be required to be filed with or furnished to the SEC pursuant to
Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act as a “foreign private issuer.” 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, SDLP will be
deemed to have furnished such reports and other information referred to in this Section 7.05(a) to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders if SDLP has filed such reports and other information with the SEC and such reports and other information
are publicly available on the SEC’s website; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to determine whether or not such reports or other information have been so filed. 

(b) So long as any Loans are outstanding, the Borrowers will also not later than 10 Business Days after furnishing to the Administrative Agent
the annual and quarterly reports required by Sections 7.05(a)(i) and (ii), hold a conference call to discuss such reports and the results of operations for the relevant reporting period (including a question and answer portion of the call);
provided that, if the Borrowers hold a conference call on a quarterly basis to discuss such reports and the results of operations for the relevant reporting period that is made accessible to the Lenders and with respect to which reasonable
advance notice has been provided publicly, then the Borrowers shall not be required to hold a separate conference call for such period pursuant to this Section 7.05(b). 

  
 100 








 (c) The Borrowers will (i) provide to the Agents and the Lenders promptly after written
request any information, certificates and any documents specified by any Agent or Lender that is required by such Agent or Lender to facilitate its compliance with any law, official requirement or other regulatory measure or procedure implemented to
combat Money Laundering and (ii) notify the Administrative Agent as soon as any Officer of any Borrower becomes aware of any matters evidencing that a breach by any Loan Party of any law, official requirement or other regulatory measure or
procedure implemented to combat Money Laundering could reasonably be expected to occur. 
 7.06. Notices of Material Events. Promptly
upon any Authorized Representative of any Borrower becoming aware of the occurrence of any of the following events, the Borrowers shall furnish to the Administrative Agent, which shall furnish to each Lender and each Secured Counterparty, to the
extent applicable, written notice of the following: 
 (i) the occurrence of any Default; 

(ii) the filing or commencement of any action, suit or proceeding by or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority against
any Borrower or any Guarantor, or any adverse development in any such pending action, suit or proceeding not previously disclosed in writing by the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent, that in each case could reasonably be expected to result in a
Material Adverse Effect or that in any manner questions the validity of this Agreement or any other Loan Document; 
 (iii)
the occurrence of any ERISA Event which would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; 
 (iv) any casualty
or other damage to any material portion of the Collateral or the commencement of any action or proceeding for the taking of any material portion of or any material interest in the Collateral under power of eminent domain or by condemnation or
similar proceeding; and 
 (v) any other development (including notice of any Environmental Liability) that has resulted, or
could reasonably be expected to result, in a Material Adverse Effect. 
 Each notice delivered under this Section shall be accompanied by a written statement
of a Financial Officer or other executive officer of a Borrower setting forth the details of the event or development requiring such notice and any action taken or proposed to be taken with respect thereto. 

7.07. Filings; Additional Guarantors; Further Assurances.  

(a) The Borrowers and the other Loan Parties hereby authorize the Collateral Agent to file one or more financing or
continuation statements under the UCC (or any non-U.S. equivalent thereto), and amendments thereto, relative to all or any part of the Collateral, at the sole cost and expense of the Loan Parties, without the signature of any Borrower or any other
Loan Party, where permitted by law. The Collateral Agent will promptly send the Borrowers a copy of any financing or continuation statements that 

  
 101 








 
it may file without the signature of any Borrower or any other Loan Party and the filing or recordation information with respect thereto. No Borrowers or Guarantors will take any action or omit
to take any action, which action or omission could reasonably be expected to materially impair, or would have the result of materially impairing, the security interest with respect to the Collateral for the benefit of the Secured Parties except as
expressly set forth herein or in any Collateral Agreement. 
 (b) If, after the Original Effective Date, any Subsidiary of
any Borrower that would be subject to the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement is formed, acquired or otherwise becomes subject to such requirements, the applicable Borrower will take all steps necessary, within 45 days of the date on which
such Subsidiary is formed, acquired or otherwise becomes subject to the requirements of the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement, to cause the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement in respect of such Subsidiary to be and remain satisfied at all
times, including the execution and delivery of supplements to the Guarantee Agreement , the Security Agreement and each Non-U.S. Security Agreement, as applicable, and the delivery of legal opinions reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent
or the Collateral Agent, as applicable. 
 (c) If property constituting Collateral or any other material assets (other than
Excluded Property) are acquired by any Borrower or any Guarantor (or, in the case of any Capital Stock of any Guarantor, by any other Person) and such property or other material assets are not automatically subject to a first-priority perfected Lien
(subject to Permitted Collateral Liens) in favor of the Collateral Agent under the Collateral Agreements, then such Borrower or such Guarantor will (or, as applicable, will cause such other Person to), as soon as practicable after the acquisition of
such property or other material assets (and, in any event, within 45 days thereafter), (i) grant to the Collateral Agent a first-priority perfected Lien (subject to Permitted Collateral Liens) over such property or other material assets,
(ii) deliver certain certificates to the Collateral Agent in respect thereof as required by the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement or by the Collateral Agreements or as reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent and (iii) take all
other necessary steps to perfect the first-priority perfected Lien (subject to Permitted Collateral Liens) in favor of the Collateral Agent as and to the extent required by the Collateral Agreements or as reasonably requested by the Collateral
Agent. 
 (d) The Borrowers shall furnish to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent prompt written notice of any
change (i) in the legal name of any Borrower or any Guarantor, as set forth in its organizational documents, (ii) in the jurisdiction of organization or the form of organization of any Borrower or any Guarantor (including as a result of
any merger or consolidation) or (iii) in the organizational identification number, if any, or, with respect to any Borrower or any Guarantor organized under the laws of a jurisdiction that requires such information to be set forth on the face
of a UCC financing statement, the Federal Taxpayer Identification Number of such person. No Borrower shall, or shall permit any Guarantor to, effect or permit any change referred to in the preceding sentence unless all filings have been made under
the UCC or otherwise that are required in order for the Collateral Agent to continue at all times following such change to have a valid, legal and perfected security interest in all the Collateral. 

  
 102 








 (e) None of the Borrowers or the Guarantors shall enter into any agreement that
requires the proceeds received from any sale of Collateral to be applied to repay, redeem, defease or otherwise acquire or retire any Indebtedness of any Person, other than (i) the Loans, (ii) solely with respect to the sale of Collateral
subject to a Permitted Equipment Lien, the agreements governing Indebtedness secured by such Permitted Equipment Lien or (iii) otherwise as may be permitted or required by this Agreement or the other Collateral Agreements, including with
respect to any Permitted Collateral Liens. 
 7.08. Compliance Certificate. The Borrowers shall deliver to the Administrative Agent,
concurrently with each delivery of financial statements (or financial information) required by Section 7.05(a) (other than clause (iv) thereof) (without duplication and without the need for any request by the Administrative Agent), a
certificate from an Authorized Representative (in its capacity as such and not in its individual capacity) stating that a review of the activities of the Borrowers and the Guarantors during the preceding fiscal quarter or fiscal year, as the case
may be, has been made under the supervision of the signing Authorized Representative with a view to determining whether the Borrowers have kept, observed, performed and fulfilled their obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents,
and further stating, as to each such Authorized Representative signing such certificate, that to the best of his or her knowledge the Borrowers are not (and have not been since the date of the last such certificate, or if none, since the Original
Effective Date) in Default (or, if a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred, describing all such Defaults or Events of Default of which he or she may have knowledge and what action the Borrowers are taking or propose to take with respect
thereto). In addition, such certificate shall include a reasonably detailed calculation of the Combined Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio for such period and confirming compliance with Section 7.18. 

7.09. Books and Records; Inspection and Audit Rights. The Borrowers will, and will cause each Guarantor to, keep proper books of record
and account in which full, true and correct entries in conformity in all material respects with GAAP and all Requirements of Law are made of all dealings and transactions in relation to its business and activities. The Borrowers will, and will cause
each Guarantor to, permit any representatives designated by the Administrative Agent, upon reasonable prior notice to the Borrowers, to visit and inspect its properties, to examine and make extracts from its books and records, and to discuss its
affairs, finances and condition with its officers and independent accountants (it being understood that a representative of the Borrowers may be present at any such discussion), all at such reasonable times and as often as reasonably requested;
provided that the foregoing rights of the Administrative Agent shall not interfere in any material respect with the conduct of the business of any Borrower or any Guarantor. 

7.10. Compliance with Laws. The Borrower will, and will cause each Guarantor to, comply with all Requirements of Law (including
(a) Environmental Laws and (b) all requirements of the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) 1974 as adopted, amended or replaced from time to time, including, but not limited to, the STCW 95, the ISM Code and the
ISPS Code (as each is defined in the respective amendment to SOLAS)) with respect to it or its property, except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.


  
 103 








 7.11. Rated Credit Facilities. The Borrowers will use commercially reasonable efforts to
cause the credit facilities made available under this Agreement to be continuously rated by S&P and Moody’s and, in respect of SDLP, will use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain a corporate rating from S&P and a corporate family
rating from Moody’s. 
 7.12. Transactions with Affiliates. 

(a) No Borrower will, or will permit any Guarantor to, enter into any transaction or series of related transactions (including
the sale, purchase, exchange or lease of assets or property or the rendering of any service), with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of any Borrower or any Guarantor’s Affiliate involving aggregate payments or consideration in excess of
$10,000,000 unless: 
 (i) such transaction or series of transactions is on terms that, taken as a whole, are not materially
less favorable to such Borrower or such Guarantor, as the case may be, than those that could have been obtained in a comparable arm’s length transaction with third parties that are not Affiliates (as determined in good faith by the Board
of Directors or a member of senior management of any Borrower); 
 (ii) with respect to any transaction or series of related
transactions involving aggregate payments or the transfer of assets or provision of services, in each case having a value greater than $50,000,000, the applicable Borrower will obtain a resolution of its Board of Directors certifying that such
transaction complies with clause (i) above and that the fairness of such transaction has been approved by (A) in the case of any such transaction with Seadrill Limited or any of its Affiliates (other than SDLP, the Borrowers, or any of
their Subsidiaries), the Conflicts Committee of SDLP and (B) in the case of any other such transaction, two members of senior management of any Borrower; and 

(iii) with respect to any transaction or series of related transactions involving aggregate payments or the transfer of assets
or the provision of services, in each case having a value greater than $100,000,000, the applicable Borrower will obtain a written opinion of an accounting, appraisal, investment banking or advisory firm of domestic or international standing, or
other recognized independent expert of international standing with experience appraising the terms and conditions of the type of transaction or series of related transactions for which an opinion is required, stating that the transaction or series
of transactions is (A) fair to such Borrower or such Guarantor from a financial point of view taking into account all relevant circumstances or (B) on terms, taken as a whole, not materially less favorable than might have been obtained in
a comparable transaction at such time on an arm’s length basis from a Person who is not an Affiliate. 
 (b)
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the restrictions set forth in Section 7.12(a) will not apply to: 

  
 104 








 (i) customary directors’ fees, indemnification and similar arrangements
(including the payment of directors’ and officer’s insurance premiums), consulting fees, employee salaries, bonuses, employment agreements and arrangements, compensation or employee benefit arrangements, including stock options or legal
fees (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors or a member of senior management of the applicable Borrower); 

(ii) any employment agreement, collective bargaining agreement, or consultant or employee benefit arrangements with any
employee, consultant, officer or director of any Borrower or any Guarantor, including under any stock option, stock appreciation rights, stock incentive or similar plans, entered into in the ordinary course of business; 

(iii) any Restricted Payments not prohibited by Section 7.15 and any Permitted Investments; 

(iv) transactions pursuant to, or contemplated by, any agreement or arrangement in effect on the Original Effective Date and
transactions pursuant to any amendment, modification, supplement or extension thereto; provided that any such amendment, modification, supplement or extension to the terms thereof is not more materially disadvantageous to the Lenders than the
original agreement or arrangement as in effect on the Original Effective Date; 
 (v) transactions with a Person (other than
a Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor) that is an Affiliate of any Borrower solely because such Borrower owns, directly or through a Subsidiary, an Equity Interest in, or controls, such Person; 

(vi) transactions with customers, clients, suppliers, or purchasers or sellers of goods or services, in each case in the
ordinary course of business and otherwise in compliance with the terms of this Agreement that are fair to the Borrowers or the Guarantors or are on terms, taken as a whole, at least as favorable as might reasonably have been obtained at such time
from an unaffiliated Person, in each case, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the applicable Borrower or a member of senior management of the applicable Borrower; 

(vii) the payment of reasonable fees and indemnities to employees, officers and directors of any Borrower or any Guarantor in
the ordinary course of business; 
 (viii) any issuance of Disqualified Equity Interests of a Borrower to Affiliates of such
Borrower which is permitted under Section 7.16; 
 (ix) loans or advances made to, or guarantees with respect to loans
or advances made to, directors, officers, or employers of any Borrower or any Guarantor (a) in respect of travel, entertainment or moving related expenses incurred in the ordinary course of business, (b) in respect of moving related
expenses incurred in connection with any closing or consolidation of any facility or office or (c) in the ordinary course of business and, in the case of this clause (c) not exceeding $5,000,000 in the aggregate outstanding at any time;


  
 105 








 (x) the granting and performance of registration rights for any Borrower’s
or any Guarantor’s securities; 
 (xi) issuances or sales of Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Equity Interests)
of any Borrower; 
 (xii) transactions between or among the Borrowers and the Guarantors or between or among any of them

determined in good faith by the Board of Directors or a member of senior management of the applicable Borrower) is made in accordance with, and, to the extent applicable, has pricing, payment and other terms consistent with, policies, procedures,
and guidelines governing the Borrowers and the Guarantors and developed by any accounting, appraisal, investment banking, or advisory firm of domestic or international standing, or other recognized independent expert of domestic or international
standing and setting forth material terms and conditions for a class of transactions that would include the applicable transaction, which terms and conditions are deemed fair to such Borrower or such Guarantor from a financial point of view taking
into account the circumstances relevant to transactions of such type.

 7.15. Limitations on Restricted Payments. 

(a) No Borrower will, or will permit any Guarantor to, take any of the following actions (each of which is a “Restricted
Payment” and which are collectively referred to as “Restricted Payments”): 
 (I) declare or pay
any dividend on or make any distribution (whether made in cash, securities or other property) with respect to any Borrower’s or Guarantor’s Equity Interests (including any payment in connection with any merger or consolidation involving
any Borrower or any Guarantor) (other than (A) to any Borrower or any Guarantor or (B) to all holders of Equity Interests of a Guarantor on a pro rata basis or on a basis that results in the receipt by a Borrower or a Guarantor
of dividends or distributions of greater value than such Borrower or such Guarantor would receive on a pro rata basis), except for dividends or distributions payable solely in Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Equity Interests)
of a Borrower or in options, warrants or other rights to acquire such Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Equity Interests); 

(II) purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire or retire for value (including in connection with any merger or consolidation),
directly or indirectly, any shares of any Borrower’s Equity Interests or any Equity Interests of any direct or indirect parent company of any of the Borrowers held by persons other than a Borrower or a Guarantor or any options, warrants or
other rights to acquire such shares of Equity Interests; 
 (III) make any principal payment on, or repurchase, redeem,
defease or otherwise acquire or retire for value any Subordinated Indebtedness (excluding any intercompany debt between or among any Borrower or any Guarantor) except (A) a payment of interest or principal at the Stated Maturity thereof or
(B) the purchase, repurchase or other acquisition of Subordinated Indebtedness purchased in anticipation of satisfying a scheduled sinking fund obligation, principal installment or scheduled maturity, in each case due within one year of the
date of such purchase, repurchase or other acquisition; or 
 (IV) make any Restricted Investment in any Person. 

If any Restricted Payment described above is not made in cash, the amount of the proposed Restricted Payment will be the Fair Market Value of
the asset to be transferred as of the date of transfer. 
 (b) Notwithstanding Section 7.15(a), any Borrower or any Guarantor may
make a Restricted Payment if, at the time of and after giving pro forma effect to such proposed Restricted Payment: 

(i) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would occur as a consequence of such Restricted Payment;

 (ii) the Borrowers could incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness under Section 7.16(a); and

Original Effective Date (including Restricted Payments permitted by Section 7.15(c)(i) and (viii) below, but excluding all other Restricted Payments described in Section 7.15(c) or 7.15(d)) does not exceed the sum of (without
duplication): 
 (A) 100% of the aggregate net cash proceeds and the Fair Market Value of the marketable securities and
property other than cash received by the Borrowers and the Guarantors since the Original Effective Date as a contribution (other than a contribution by another Borrower) to their common equity capital or from the issue or sale of Equity Interests
(other than Disqualified Equity Interests and Cure Amounts) by the Borrowers or from the issue or sale of convertible or exchangeable Disqualified Equity Interests of the Borrowers or convertible or exchangeable debt securities of the Borrowers, in
each case that have been converted into or exchanged for Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Equity Interests) of the Borrowers (other than Equity Interests, Disqualified Equity Interests or debt securities sold to a Borrower or a Subsidiary
of a Borrower); plus 
 (B) (x) in the case of any Restricted Investment that is sold, disposed of or
otherwise cancelled, liquidated or repaid, constituting a Restricted Payment made after the Original Effective Date, an amount equal to 100% of the aggregate amount received in cash and the Fair Market Value of the property and marketable securities
received by any Borrower or any Guarantor, and (y) in the case of the designation of a Subsidiary as a Guarantor or in the case of a Subsidiary that is merged or consolidated into a Borrower or a Guarantor or the assets are transferred to a
Borrower or a Guarantor (as long as the redesignation of such Subsidiary as a Guarantor was deemed a Restricted Payment), the Fair Market Value of the Borrowers’ and the Guarantors’ interest in such Subsidiary as of the date of such
redesignation or at the time of such merger, consolidation or transfer of assets; plus 
 (C) to the extent that
any Restricted Investment constituting a Restricted Payment that was made after the Original Effective Date is made in an entity that subsequently becomes a Guarantor, the Fair Market Value of such Restricted Investment of the applicable Borrower
and the Guarantors as of the date such entity becomes a Guarantor; plus 
 (D) 100% of any dividends or
distributions received by a Borrower or a Guarantor after the Original Effective Date from a Subsidiary that is not a Borrower or a Guarantor, to the extent that such dividends or distributions were not otherwise included in the Combined Net Income
for such period (items (A) through (D) being referred to as “Incremental Funds”). 
 (c) Notwithstanding
Sections 7.15(a), 7.15(b) and 7.15(d), any Borrower and any Guarantor may take the following actions: 

  
 110 








 (i) the payment of any dividend or distribution within 60 days after the
date of its declaration if at such date of its declaration such payment would have been permitted by the provisions of this Section 7.15; 

(ii) the making of any Restricted Payment in exchange for, or out of or with the net cash proceeds of a substantially
concurrent issuance and sale (other than to a Borrower or a Subsidiary of a Borrower) of, Equity Interests of a Borrower (other than Disqualified Equity Interests and Cure Amounts) or from the substantially concurrent contribution (other than by
another Borrower) of common equity capital to a Borrower; provided that the amount of any such net cash proceeds that are utilized for any such Restricted Payment will be excluded from Section 7.15(b)(iii)(A); 

(iii) the purchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or retirement for value of any Subordinated Indebtedness in
exchange for, or out of the net cash proceeds of an incurrence (other than to a Borrower or a Subsidiary of a Borrower) of, Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness; 

(iv) the repurchase of Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Equity Interests) deemed to occur upon the exercise of stock
options to the extent such Equity Interests represents a portion of the exercise price of those stock options;

 (vi) the repurchase, redemption or other acquisition
or retirement for value of any Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Equity Interests) of a Borrower held by any current or former officer, director, employee or consultant of any Borrower or any Guarantor pursuant to any equity subscription
agreement, stock option agreement, restricted stock grant, shareholders’ agreement or similar agreement; provided that the aggregate price paid for all such repurchased, redeemed, acquired or retired Equity Interests (other than
Disqualified Equity Interests) may not exceed $5,000,000 in any calendar year; and provided, further, that such amount in any calendar year may be increased by an amount not to exceed the cash proceeds from the sale of Equity Interests
(other than Disqualified Equity Interests and Cure Amounts) of any Borrower or any Guarantor received by any Borrower or any Guarantor during such calendar year, in each case to members of management, directors or consultants of any Borrower or any
Guarantor to the extent the cash proceeds from the sale of Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Equity Interests and Cure Amounts) have not otherwise been applied to the making of Restricted Payments pursuant to Section 7.15(b)(iii)(A) or
clauses (ii) or (iii) of this Section 7.15(c); 
 (vii) any payment of Subordinated Indebtedness listed on
Schedule 7.15 on or about the Original Effective Date utilizing the proceeds of the Loans; or 

  
 111 








 (viii) so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
any other Restricted Payment; provided that the total aggregate amount of Restricted Payments made under this clause (viii) since the Original Effective Date does not exceed $75,000,000. 

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7.15, a Borrower shall be entitled to make a Restricted Payment if
(A) at the time of and after giving effect to such Restricted Payment, no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (B) the Combined Interest Cover Ratio for the most recently ended four full fiscal quarters for which
internal consolidating financial information is available at the time of such Restricted Payment is at least 2.0 to 1.0, so long as such Restricted Payment, together with the aggregate amount of all other Restricted Payments made by the Borrowers
and the Guarantors (excluding Restricted Payments permitted by clauses (ii) through (vii) of Section 7.15(c)) with respect to the quarter is less than the sum, without duplication, of: 

(I) Available Cash with respect to the Borrowers’ most recently ended fiscal quarter for which internal consolidating
financial information is available; plus 
 (II) the aggregate amount of Incremental Funds; minus 

(III) the aggregate amount of Incremental Funds previously expended pursuant to this Section 7.15. 

7.16. Limitations on Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock. 

(a) No Borrower will, or will permit any Guarantor to, create, incur, issue, assume, guarantee or otherwise become liable, contingently or
otherwise, with respect to (collectively, “Incur”) any Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt); provided, however, that the Borrowers and the Guarantors may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) if the Combined
Interest Cover Ratio for the Borrowers’ most recently ended four full fiscal quarters for which internal consolidating financial information is available immediately preceding the date on which such additional Indebtedness is incurred would
have been at least 2.0 to 1.0, determined on a pro forma basis (including a pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom), as if the additional Indebtedness had been incurred at the beginning of such four-quarter period. 

(b) Section 7.16(a) will not, however, prohibit the following (collectively, “Permitted Debt”): 

(i) the incurrence by any Borrower and any Guarantor of Indebtedness represented by the Loans, the Loan Guarantees, and the
other Secured Obligations; 
 (ii) Indebtedness of any Borrower or any Guarantor outstanding on the Original Effective Date
(other than Indebtedness described under clauses (i) and (ix) of this paragraph) after giving effect to the use of proceeds of the Loans and until such Indebtedness is repaid; 

(iii) the Designated Intercompany Loan; provided that the Designated Intercompany Loan shall be represented by the
Designated Intercompany Note and pledged to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, to secure the Secured Obligations pursuant to the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement; 

  
 112 








 (iv) the incurrence by any Borrower or any Guarantor of Permitted Refinancing
Indebtedness in exchange for, or the net proceeds of which are used to renew, refund, refinance, replace, defease or discharge any Indebtedness (other than intercompany Indebtedness) that was permitted by this Agreement to be incurred under
(A) Section 7.16(a) or (B) clauses (ii), (iv) or (xvi) of this Section 7.16(b); 
 (v) the
incurrence by a Borrower or any Guarantor of intercompany Indebtedness between or among the Borrowers and the Guarantors or between or among any of them (other than the Designated Intercompany Loan); provided that any subsequent issuance
or transfer of Capital Stock of the relevant holder of such debt that results in any such Indebtedness being held by a Person other than a Borrower or a Guarantor and (y) any sale or other transfer of any such Indebtedness to a Person that is
not either a Borrower or a Guarantor, will be deemed, in each case, to constitute an incurrence of such Indebtedness by such Borrower or such Guarantor, as the case may be, that is not then permitted by this clause (v); 

(vi) guarantees by any Borrower or Guarantor of Indebtedness of any Borrower or Indebtedness of any Guarantor; 

(vii) the incurrence by any Borrower or any Guarantor of Indebtedness arising from customary agreements providing for
guarantees, indemnities or obligations in respect of earnouts or other purchase price adjustments or, in each case, similar obligations, in connection with the acquisition or disposition of any business or assets or Person or any Equity Interests of
a Subsidiary, other than guarantees or similar credit support given by any Borrower or any Guarantor of Indebtedness incurred by any Person acquiring all or any portion of such assets for the purpose of financing such acquisition; provided
that, in the case of dispositions, the maximum aggregate liability in respect of all such Indebtedness permitted pursuant to this clause (vii) will at no time exceed the net proceeds, including non-cash proceeds (the Fair Market Value of
such non-cash proceeds being measured at the time received and without giving effect to any subsequent changes in value) actually received from such disposition; 

(viii) the incurrence by any Borrower or any Guarantor of Hedging Obligations; 

(ix) the incurrence by any Borrower or any Guarantor of Indebtedness (including Capitalized Lease Obligation, mortgage
financings and purchase money obligations) in an aggregate principal amount, including all outstanding Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to renew, refund, refinance, replace, defease or discharge any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this
clause (ix), plus (without duplication) all outstanding Indebtedness of the Borrowers and the Guarantors incurred pursuant to Section 7.16(a) (including any outstanding Indebtedness reclassified as having been incurred under
Section 7.16(a) pursuant to Section 7.16(h)), not to exceed, on the date of such incurrence, an amount equal to 75% of the Fair Market Value (as determined on the date of such incurrence) of all completed Vessels (other than Collateral


  
 113 








 
Vessels) owned by a Borrower, a Guarantor or another Subsidiary of a Borrower plus 75% of the Fair Market Value of the lease component of any Vessels (other than Collateral Vessels)
subject to sale and leaseback transactions in favor of a Borrower, a Guarantor or another Subsidiary of a Borrower, in each case, determined on a pro forma basis (including a pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom); provided that
such Indebtedness is (A) incurred by a Borrower or a Guarantor that owns or leases pursuant to a sale and leaseback transaction one or more Vessels (other than Collateral Vessels) (in such capacity, a “Vessel Owner”) or
(B) secured by Liens over one or more Vessels (other than Collateral Vessels) and/or such Indebtedness is guaranteed by one or more Guarantors or other Subsidiaries of a Borrower that own one or more Vessels (other than Collateral Vessels);

Section 7.16(h)), not to exceed, on the date of such incurrence, an amount equal to 75% of the contract price for the acquisition of all uncompleted Vessels (other than a Collateral Vessel) to be owned by a Borrower, a Guarantor or another
Subsidiary of a Borrower, as determined on the date on which the Indebtedness was incurred by a Borrower or a Guarantor, determined on a pro forma basis (including a pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom);

incurred (A) to provide all or any portion of the funds used to consummate the transaction or series of related transactions pursuant to which such Person became a Guarantor or was otherwise acquired by a Borrower or a Guarantor or
(B) otherwise in connection with or contemplation of such acquisition); provided, however, with respect to this clause (xvi), that at the time of such acquisition or other transaction pursuant to which such Indebtedness is
deemed to be incurred, (x) the Borrowers could incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness under Section 7.16(a), after giving pro forma effect to such acquisition or other transaction or (y) the Combined Interest Cover Ratio
would not be less than it was immediately prior to giving effect to such acquisition or other transaction; 
 (xvii)
Guarantees by any Borrower of Indebtedness incurred by any Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor, provided that (A) such Indebtedness is (x) incurred by a Subsidiary that owns or leases pursuant to a sale and leaseback transaction one
or more Vessels (other than Collateral Vessels) (in such capacity, a “Non-Guarantor Vessel Owner”) or (y) secured by Liens granted by one or more Non-Guarantor Vessel Owners over one or more Vessels (other than Collateral
Vessels) and/or such Indebtedness is guaranteed by one or more Non-Guarantor Vessel Owners and (B) such Borrower’s maximum liability under such Guarantee (determined at the time such Guarantee is provided) does not exceed the aggregate
amount of Indebtedness that such Borrower or a Guarantor could incur under Section 7.16(b)(ix) to finance such Vessel if such Vessel were owned by the Borrower or a Guarantor; and 

  
 115 








 (xviii) the incurrence by any Borrower or any Guarantor of Indebtedness (other
than and in addition to Indebtedness permitted under clauses (i) through (xvii) above) in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding, including all outstanding Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to renew, refund,
replace, refinance, defease or discharge any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (xviii), not to exceed the greater of (x) $125,000,000 and (y) 3.5% of Net Tangible Assets. 

Accrual of interest or dividends, the accretion of accreted value, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount, the obligation to
pay commitment fees, the reclassification of preferred stock as Indebtedness due to a change in accounting principles and the payment of interest or dividends in the form of additional Indebtedness or in the form of additional shares of the same
class will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness for purposes of this Section 7.16. 
 (c) None of the Borrowers will incur
any Indebtedness (including Permitted Debt) that is contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of such Borrower unless such Indebtedness is also contractually subordinated in right of payment to the Loans on
substantially identical terms; provided, however, that no Indebtedness will be deemed to be contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of a Borrower solely by virtue of being unsecured or by virtue of
being secured with different collateral or by virtue of being secured on a junior priority basis or by virtue of the application of waterfall or other payment ordering provisions affecting different tranches of Indebtedness. 

(d) For purposes of determining compliance with any restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness in Dollars where Indebtedness is denominated
in a different currency, the amount of such Indebtedness will be the Dollar Equivalent determined on the date of such determination; provided that if any such Indebtedness denominated in a different currency is subject to a Hedging Obligation
(with respect to Dollars) covering principal amounts payable on such Indebtedness, the amount of such Indebtedness expressed in Dollars will be adjusted to take into account the effect of such agreement. The principal amount of any Permitted
Refinancing Indebtedness incurred in the same currency as the Indebtedness being refinanced will be the Dollar Equivalent of the Indebtedness refinanced determined on the date such Indebtedness being refinanced was initially incurred, except to the
extent that such Dollar Equivalent was determined based on a Hedging Obligation (with respect to Dollars), in which case the amount of such Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness will be adjusted to take into account the effect of such agreement.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this covenant, for purposes of determining compliance with this Section 7.16, increases in Indebtedness solely due to fluctuations in the exchange rates of currencies or currency values will not be deemed
to exceed the maximum amount that a Borrower or a Guarantor may incur under this Section 7.16. 
 (e) For purposes of determining any
particular amount of Indebtedness under this Section 7.16 obligations with respect to letters of credit, guarantees or Liens, in each case supporting Indebtedness otherwise included in the determination of such particular amount will not be
included. 
 (f) The amount of any Indebtedness outstanding as of any date will be: 

  
 116 








 (i) in the case of any Indebtedness issued with original issue discount, the
amount of the liability in respect thereof determined in accordance with GAAP; 
 (ii) the principal amount of the
Indebtedness, in the case of any other Indebtedness; and 
 (iii) in respect of Indebtedness of another Person secured by a
Lien on the assets of the specified Person, the lesser of: 
 (A) the Fair Market Value of such assets at the date of
determination; and 
 (B) the amount of the Indebtedness of the other Person. 

(g) If at any time a Subsidiary becomes a Guarantor, any Indebtedness of such Subsidiary shall be deemed to be Incurred by a Guarantor as of
such date (and, if such Indebtedness is not permitted to be Incurred as of such date under Section 7.16, the Guarantor shall be in Default of this Section 7.16). 

(h) For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 7.16, in the event that an item of Indebtedness meets the criteria of more
than one of the categories of Indebtedness described in this Section 7.16, the Borrowers, in their sole discretion, will be permitted to classify such item of Indebtedness on the date of its incurrence and only be required to include the amount
and type of such Indebtedness in one of such clauses and will be permitted on the date of such incurrence to divide and classify an item of Indebtedness in more than one of the types of Indebtedness described in Sections 7.16(a) and (b), and from
time to time to reclassify all or a portion of such item of Indebtedness, in any manner that complies with this Section 7.16, provided that (i) Indebtedness incurred pursuant to Section 7.16(b)(i) and 7.16(b)(ix) may not be
reclassified and (ii) Indebtedness incurred pursuant to Section 7.16(b)(x) shall be automatically reclassified to Section 7.16(b)(ix) upon completion of the relevant Vessel. 

7.17. Limitations on Dividends and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Guarantors. 

(a) No Borrower will, or will permit any Guarantor to, create or otherwise cause to become effective any consensual encumbrance or restriction
on the ability of any Guarantor to: 
 (i) pay dividends, in cash or otherwise, or make any other distributions on or in
respect of its Capital Stock or any other interest or participation in, or measured by, its profits; 
 (ii) pay any
Indebtedness owed to any Borrower or any other Guarantor; 
 (iii) make loans or advances to any Borrower or any other
Guarantor; or 
 (iv) transfer any of its properties or assets to any Borrower or any other Guarantor; 

  
 117 








 provided that (A) the priority of any preferred stock in receiving dividends or liquidating
distributions prior to dividends or liquidating distributions being paid on common stock and (B) the subordination of (including the application of any standstill period to) loans or advances made to any Borrower or any Guarantor to other
Indebtedness incurred by any Borrower or any Guarantor, shall not be deemed to constitute such an encumbrance or restriction. 
 (b)
Section 7.17(a) will not apply to encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of: 
 (i) the Loans, this
Agreement, the Loan Documents or by other indentures or agreements governing other Indebtedness incurred by the Borrowers ranking equally with the Loans; provided that the encumbrances or restrictions imposed by such other indentures or
agreements are not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, than the encumbrances or restrictions imposed by this Agreement; 

(ii) any agreements with respect to Indebtedness of any Borrower or any Guarantor permitted to be incurred subsequent to the
Original Effective Date pursuant to Section 7.16 and any amendments, restatements, modifications, renewals, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings of those agreements; provided that such encumbrances or restrictions are
not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, than is customary in comparable financings (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors or a member of senior management of a Borrower); 

(iii) any agreement in effect on the Original Effective Date and any amendments, restatements, modifications, renewals,
supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings of those agreements; provided that the amendments, restatements, modifications, renewals, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings are not materially more restrictive, taken
as a whole, with respect to such dividend and other payment restrictions than those contained in those agreements on the Original Effective Date (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors or a member of senior management of
a Borrower); 
 (iv) customary non-assignment and similar provisions in contracts, leases and licenses entered into in
the ordinary course of business; 
 (v) any agreement or other instrument of a Person (including its Subsidiaries),
acquired by a Borrower or a Guarantor in effect at the time of such acquisition (but not created in contemplation thereof), which encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to any Person, or the properties or assets of any Person, other than
the Person, or the property or assets of the Person, so acquired (including its Subsidiaries); 
 (vi) any agreement for the
sale or other disposition of the Capital Stock or all or substantially all of the property and assets of a Guarantor that restricts distributions by that Guarantor, or restricts disposition of the Equity Interests or assets of that Guarantor,
pending its sale or other disposition; 
 (vii) Liens permitted to be incurred under Section 7.13 that limit the right
of the debtor to dispose of the assets subject to such Liens; 

  
 118 








 (viii) applicable law, rule, regulation or order or the terms of any governmental
licenses, authorizations, concessions, franchises or permits; 
 (ix) encumbrances or restrictions on cash or other
deposits or net worth imposed by customers or suppliers or required by insurance, surety or bonding companies, in each case, under contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business; 

(x) customary limitations on the distribution or disposition of assets or property in joint venture agreements, master limited
partnership arrangements, asset sale agreements, sale-leaseback agreements, stock sale agreements and other similar agreements (including agreements entered into in connection with a Restricted Investment), which limitations are applicable only to
the assets that are the subject of such agreements; 
 (xi) purchase money obligations and mortgage financings for property
acquired in the ordinary course of business and Capitalized Lease Obligations that impose restrictions on the property purchased or leased of the nature described in Section 7.17(a)(iv); and 

(xii) any agreement that extends, renews, amends, modifies, restates, supplements, refunds, refinances or replaces the
agreements containing the encumbrances or restrictions in the foregoing clauses (i) through (xi), or in this clause (xii); provided that the terms and conditions of any such encumbrances or restrictions are not materially less
favorable, taken as a whole, to the Lenders than those under or pursuant to the agreement so extended, renewed, amended, modified, restated, supplemented, refunded, refinanced or replaced. 

7.18. Combined Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio. The Borrowers will not permit the Combined Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio as of the
last day of any four fiscal quarter period to exceed the ratio set forth opposite such fiscal quarter: 
  

					
	 Fiscal Quarter Ending
	  	Senior Secured
Leverage Ratio	 
	 March 31, 2014
	  	 	5.5 to 1.00	  
	 June 30, 2014
	  	 	5.5 to 1.00	  
	 September 30, 2014
	  	 	5.5 to 1.00	  
	 December 31, 2014
	  	 	5.5 to 1.00	  
	 March 31, 2015 and thereafter
	  	 	5.0 to 1.00	  

 7.19. Designation of Guarantors. 

(a) The Board of Directors of a Borrower may designate any Guarantor that does not hold a Collateral Vessel and that is not
party to a contract for the employment of a Collateral Vessel to no longer be a Guarantor if that designation would not cause a Default. If a Guarantor that does not hold a Collateral Vessel and that is not party to a contract for the employment of
a Collateral Vessel is designated to no longer be a Guarantor, the aggregate Fair Market Value of all outstanding Investments owned by the Borrowers and the Guarantors in the Guarantor designated to no longer be a


  
 119 








 
Guarantor will be deemed to be an Investment made as of the time of the designation and will reduce the amount available for Restricted Payments under Section 7.15 or under one or more
clauses of the definition of Permitted Investments, as determined by the Borrowers. That designation will only be permitted if the Investment would be permitted at that time. 

(b) The Board of Directors of a Borrower may at any time designate any of its Subsidiaries to be a Guarantor; provided
that such designation will be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness by a Guarantor of any outstanding Indebtedness of such Subsidiary, and such designation will only be permitted if (i) such Indebtedness is permitted under
Section 7.16, calculated on a pro forma basis as if such designation had occurred at the beginning of the applicable reference period; and (ii) no Default or Event of Default would be in existence following such designation. 

7.20. Business Activities. 

No Borrower will, or will permit any Guarantor to, engage in the conduct of any business other than a Permitted Business. 

7.21. Rights to Earnings from Collateral Vessels and Ownership of Collateral Vessels. 

The Borrowers will not permit any of their respective Subsidiaries (other than a Guarantor) to be or become party to any Collateral Vessel
Contract (including as a charterer of any Collateral Vessel) or otherwise hold the right to directly receive any Earnings attributable to any Collateral Vessel or any other Related Assets with respect to any Collateral Vessel; provided, that
a Local Content Subsidiary may be a party to a Collateral Vessel Contract in respect of a Collateral Vessel or otherwise hold the right to receive Earnings attributable to a Collateral Vessel or any Related Assets with respect to any Collateral
Vessel (other than any Capital Stock of any Guarantor) to the extent required by any law, regulation or requirement of any applicable jurisdiction, so long as such Local Content Subsidiary does not (a) receive more than 40% of the Earnings or
Related Assets (other than any Capital Stock of any Guarantor) with respect to such Collateral Vessel and (b) Incur Indebtedness that exceeds $30,000,000 in the aggregate at any one time outstanding; provided further that each Local
Content Subsidiary shall be a direct or indirect Subsidiary of a Borrower (other than as may be required pursuant to local laws, regulations and requirements). The Borrowers shall, or shall cause one or more of the Guarantors to, at all times
maintain the Earnings Accounts, and each Earnings Account shall at all times be in the name of a Borrower or a Guarantor and be subject to an account control agreement (or other comparable arrangements under U.K. law or other laws acceptable to the
Collateral Agent). 
 The Borrower will not permit any Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor to directly own a Collateral Vessel. 

7.22. Limitation on Asset Sales. 

(I) No Borrower will, or will permit any Guarantor to, consummate any Asset Sale (other than an Involuntary Transfer) unless: 

  
 120 








 (1) such Borrower or such Guarantor, as the case may be, receives consideration
at the time of consummation of such Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value of the assets or Equity Interests issued or sold or otherwise disposed of; and 

(2) the consideration received in such Asset Sale by such Borrower or such Guarantor shall be comprised of not less than 75%
cash or Cash Equivalents or, if such Asset Sale is a sale of Collateral, cash or Cash Equivalents in an amount not less than the product of (i) the ratio of (a) the Fair Market Value of such sold or disposed Collateral to (b) the Fair
Market Value of all Collateral, in each case, calculated immediately prior to such Asset Sale and (ii) the aggregate principal amount of all Term Loans outstanding at the time of such Asset Sale; provided, however, to the extent
that any disposition in such Asset Sale was of Collateral, the non-cash consideration received is pledged as Collateral under the Collateral Agreements within 20 Business Days, in accordance with the requirements set forth in this Agreement; 

(II) For purposes of this provision, each of the following will be deemed to be cash: 

(a) any Indebtedness or other liabilities, as shown in the most recent unaudited consolidating financial information of the
Borrowers, of a Borrower or of a Guarantor (other than contingent liabilities and liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Loan Document Obligations) that are assumed, repaid or retired by the transferee of any such assets so long as
such Borrower or such Guarantor is released from further liability; 
 (b) any securities, notes or other obligations
received by a Borrower or any Guarantor from such transferee that are, subject to ordinary settlement periods, converted by such Borrower or such Guarantor into cash or Cash Equivalents within one year following the closing of such Asset Sale, to
the extent of the cash or Cash Equivalents received in that conversion; and 
 (c) any stock or assets of the kind referred
to in Section 7.22(III)(4). 
 (III) Within 365 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale (including an
Involuntary Transfer), the applicable Borrower or the applicable Guarantor, as the case may be, may apply such Net Proceeds at its option to any combination of the following: 

(1) to purchase, repay or prepay secured Indebtedness of the Borrower or any Guarantor or, in the case of an Asset Sale other
than of Collateral, any Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness that is subordinated in right of payment to the Loan Document Obligations, whether or not secured) of any Borrower or any Guarantor (and, in the case of revolving obligations, to
correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto); 
 (2) [Reserved.] 

  
 121 








 (3) to make a capital expenditure for any Borrower or any Guarantor; or 

(4) to acquire other assets that are not classified as current assets under GAAP and that are used or useful in a Permitted
Business (including, without limitation, Vessels, related assets and any related Ready for Sea Costs) for any Borrower or any Guarantor or make any deposit, installment or progress payment in respect of such assets or payment of any related Ready
for Sea Costs; 
 provided that (x) a binding commitment made within the 365-day period described above by the Borrowers or the
applicable Guarantor to apply Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale in accordance with clauses (3) and (4) above shall toll the 365-day period in respect of such Net Proceeds for a period not to exceed 180 days from the expiration of the
aforementioned 365-day period, provided that such Net Proceeds are actually used within the later of 365 days from their receipt from such Asset Sale or 180 days from the date of such binding commitment; provided further that a
binding commitment to apply Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale to the purchase, acquisition or construction of an Additional Vessel shall instead toll the 365-day period in respect of such Net Proceeds for a period not to exceed 365 days from the
expiration of the aforementioned 365-day period so long as such Net Proceeds are actually used within the later of 365 days from their receipt from such Asset Sale or 365 days from the date of such binding commitment; (y) if the assets sold or
transferred in such Asset Sale constituted Collateral, the applicable Borrower shall pledge or cause the applicable Guarantor to pledge any assets (including any acquired Capital Stock) acquired with the Net Proceeds of such Asset Sale pursuant to
clause (4) above to secure the Secured Obligations on a first-priority basis (subject to Permitted Collateral Liens) pursuant to the Collateral Agreements and (z) if the assets sold or transferred in such Asset Sale include a Vessel that
does not constitute Collateral, then the applicable Borrower or the applicable Guarantor, as the case may be, may with respect to the Net Proceeds of up to two Vessels elect to, in lieu of the application or investment provided in clauses
(1) through (4) above, apply such Net Proceeds within 30 days following the receipt of proceeds from such Asset Sale to (i) repay all Indebtedness secured by such assets and (ii) purchase, repay or prepay any other Indebtedness
of any Borrower or any Guarantor so that the aggregate principal amount of the Combined Total Indebtedness of the Borrowers and the Guarantors does not exceed 75% of the sum of the Completed Vessel Value and the Contracted Vessel Value at such time
(an Asset Sale of a Vessel whose Net Proceeds are applied pursuant to this clause (z), a “Non-Collateral Vessel Sale”). 

(IV) Pending the final application of any Net Proceeds, the applicable Borrower or the applicable Guarantor may apply the Net Proceeds to
temporarily reduce outstanding revolving credit Indebtedness of any Borrower or any Guarantor, respectively, or invest the Net Proceeds in cash and Cash Equivalents. 

(V) Any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not applied or invested as provided in Section 7.22(III) will constitute “Excess
Proceeds.” For the avoidance of doubt, the application of Net Proceeds relating to a Vessel that does not constitute Collateral in accordance with clause (z) in Section 7.22(III) will be deemed to have fully satisfied the
application of all 

  
 122 








 
Net Proceeds from the applicable Asset Sale of such Vessel. Subject to Section 4.10 when the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds from any Asset Sale or (Asset Sales) in respect of assets
that constituted Collateral exceeds $50,000,000, the Term Borrowers will, or will cause the applicable Guarantor to, within 10 Business Days thereof, prepay Term Loans in an aggregate principal amount equal to the lesser of (x) 100% of
such Excess Proceeds and (y) the product of (i) the ratio of (a) the Fair Market Value of such sold or disposed Collateral to (b) the Fair Market Value of all Collateral, in each case, calculated immediately prior to the
applicable Asset Sale and (ii) the aggregate principal amount of all Term Loans outstanding at the time of such Asset Sale. Subject to the provisions of Section 10.06 and the next succeeding sentence, the Term Borrowers shall select
the Borrowing or Borrowings to be prepaid pursuant to this Section 7.22 and shall specify such selection in a notice delivered by an Authorized Representative of the Term Borrowers to the Administrative Agent prior to 12:00 Noon (New York
time) at the Notice Office at least three (3) Business Days prior to the date of prepayment. In the event of any prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to this Section 7.22 made at a time when Borrowings of Term Loans of more than one Class
remain outstanding, the Term Borrowers shall select Borrowings to be prepaid so that the aggregate amount of such prepayment is allocated among the Borrowings in respect of each Class of Term Loans pro rata based on the aggregate principal amount of
outstanding Borrowings of each such Class. The aggregate principal amount of any prepayment of Term Loans of any Class pursuant to this Section 7.22 shall be applied to the remaining scheduled installments of principal with respect to such
Class of Term Loans on a pro rata basis. Upon completion of each prepayment pursuant to this Section 7.22, the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset at zero. 

(VI) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 7.22 with respect to any Asset Sale that is an Event of Loss, such
Event of Loss and the application of the Event of Loss Proceeds in respect thereof will be governed by Section 4.02(a) and not this Section 7.22. 

7.23. Activities of U.S. Finco. 

U.S. Finco may not hold assets, become liable for any obligations or engage in any business activities; provided that it may be a
co-borrower or co-issuer with respect to the Loan Document Obligations or any other Indebtedness issued or Incurred by the other Borrowers and may engage in any activities directly related thereto or in connection therewith. U.S. Finco shall be a
Loan Party that is a wholly owned Subsidiary of Operating at all times. 
 7.24. Use of Proceeds. 

The proceeds of the Term Loans made on the Original Effective Date were utilized to consummate the 2014 Refinancing, to pay fees and expenses
incurred in connection with the Transactions (as defined in the Original Credit Agreement), to make the portion of the Designated Intercompany Loan made on the Original Effective Date and for general corporate purposes of the Borrowers, the
Guarantors and their respective Subsidiaries. The proceeds of the Term Loans made on the Restatement Effective Date shall be utilized to consummate the 2014 Restatement Refinancing, to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with the
Transactions, to make the portion of the Designated Intercompany Loan to be made on the Restatement Effective Date and for general corporate purposes of the Borrowers, the Guarantors and their 

  
 123 








 
respective Subsidiaries. The proceeds of the Revolving Loans will be used by the Revolving Borrowers from time to time for general corporate purposes of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries. The
proceeds of the Loans shall not be used in a manner that would violate any of Sections 6.07(c), 6.19 and any applicable Sanctions laws. 

SECTION 8. Events of Default and Remedies; Application of Funds; Replacement of Revolving Lenders Under Certain Circumstances. 

8.01. Events of Defaults and Remedies. 

(a) Each of the following specified events shall constitute an “Event of Default”: 

(1) default in any payment of interest on any Loan or Note or any fee or other amount (other than any amount referred to in
clause (2) of this paragraph (a)) payable under this Agreement or any other Loan Document when due and continued for 30 days; 

(2) default in any payment (at maturity, upon redemption or required repurchase, upon declaration of acceleration or otherwise)
of the principal of any Loan or Note when due and continued for 3 days; 
 (3) failure by any Loan Party to comply with
Section 7.14; 
 (4) failure by any Loan Party for 60 days after notice to such Borrower by the Administrative
Agent to comply with any covenant or agreement (other than a default referred to in clauses (1), (2) and (3) above); 

(5) default under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there is issued or by which there is secured or evidenced
any Indebtedness for money borrowed by or Hedging Obligations of any Loan Party (or the payment of which is guaranteed by any Loan Party), whether such Indebtedness or guarantee now exists or is created after the Restatement Effective Date, if that
default: 
 (a) is caused by a failure to pay principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on, such Indebtedness for money
borrowed or Hedging Obligation prior to the expiration of the grace period provided in such Indebtedness on the date of such default (a “Payment Default”); or 

(b) results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness for money borrowed or the termination of such Hedging Obligation, in each
case prior to its Stated Maturity, 
 and, in either case, the principal amount of any such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other
such Indebtedness under which there has been a Payment Default or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates $25,000,000 or more (provided that for the purposes of the foregoing determination the amount of any Hedging
Obligation shall be the amount of all payments that a Loan Party is required to make as a result of such termination with such payments being calculated subject to and in accordance with any netting provisions in the


  
 124 








 
agreements documenting such Hedging Obligation); provided, however, that if any such default is cured or waived or any such acceleration rescinded, or such Indebtedness is repaid,
within a period of 60 days from the continuation of such default beyond the applicable grace period or the occurrence of such acceleration, as the case may be, such Event of Default and any consequential acceleration of the Loans shall be
automatically rescinded, so long as such rescission does not conflict with any judgment or decree; 
 (6) failure by any Loan
Party to pay final judgments entered by a court or courts of competent jurisdiction aggregating in excess of $25,000,000 (exclusive of any amounts that an insurance company has acknowledged liability for), which judgments are not discharged or
waived and there shall have been a period of 60 consecutive days or more during which a stay of enforcement of such judgment, order or decree (by reason of pending appeal, waiver or otherwise) shall not have been in effect; 

(7) the repudiation by any Loan Party of any of its obligations under the Collateral Agreements or the unenforceability of the
Collateral Agreements against any Loan Party for any reason; 
 (8) the pledge of the Equity Interests of any of Operating,
Capricorn Holdings or SDLP, other than to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties; 
 (9) except as
permitted by this Agreement or any Loan Guarantee, any Loan Guarantee is held in any judicial proceeding to be unenforceable or invalid or ceases for any reason to be in full force and effect, or any Guarantor, or any Person duly acting on behalf of
any Guarantor, denies or disaffirms its obligations under its Loan Guarantee; 
 (10) any Loan Party takes any of the
following actions, pursuant to or within the meaning of any Debtor Relief Law: 
 (a) commences a voluntary case, 

(b) consents in writing to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case, 

(c) consents in writing to the appointment of a Custodian of it or for all or substantially all of its property, 

(d) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or 

(e) admits in writing it generally is not paying its debts as they become due; or 

(f) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Debtor Relief Law, which order or decree remains unstayed and in
effect for 60 consecutive days, that: 

  
 125 








 (ii) is for relief against any Loan Party in an involuntary case; 

(iii) appoints a Custodian (1) of any Loan Party or (2) for all or substantially all of the property of any Loan Party; or 

(iv) orders the liquidation of any Loan Party; 

(11) any representation, warranty or statement made by or on behalf of any Loan Party in this Agreement or in any other Loan
Document or in any report, certificate or financial statement provided pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any amendment or modification thereof or waiver thereunder shall prove to have been untrue in any
material respect on the date made; 
 (12) an ERISA Event shall have occurred that when taken together with all other ERISA
Events that have occurred and are continuing, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect; or 
 (13)
a Change of Control shall have occurred. 
 (b) In the case of an Event of Default described in clause (10) above, all outstanding Loan
Document Obligations will become due and payable immediately, and all Commitments will automatically terminate, in each case without further action or notice. If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Administrative Agent may (with
the consent of the Required Lenders) or shall (if directed by the Required Lenders) declare all the Loans to be due and payable immediately (and thereupon the principal of the Loans so declared to be due and payable, together with accrued interest
thereon and all fees and other obligations of the Borrowers under the Loan Documents shall become due and payable) and may terminate all Commitments (and thereupon the Commitments shall terminate immediately). 

8.02. Application of Funds. 

(a) After the exercise of remedies (including rights of setoff) provided for in Section 8.01 (or after the Loans have
automatically become immediately due and payable), any amounts received on account of the Secured Obligations (whether as a result of a payment under a Guaranty, any realization on the Collateral, any setoff rights, any distribution in connection
with any proceedings or other action of any Loan Party in respect of Debtor Relief Laws or otherwise and whether received in cash or otherwise) shall be applied by the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent in the following order: 

First, to payment of that portion of the Secured Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts
(other than principal and interest) payable to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent in their respective capacities as such; 

  
 126 








 Second, to payment of that portion of the Revolving Obligations
constituting fees, indemnities and other amounts (other than principal and interest) payable to the applicable Secured Parties, ratably among them in proportion to the amounts described in this clause Second payable to them; 

Third, to payment of that portion of the Revolving Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid interest on the Revolving
Loans (including post-petition interest, whether or not an allowed claim in any Insolvency and Liquidation Proceeding), ratably among the applicable Secured Parties in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Third
payable to them; 
 Fourth, to payment of that portion of the Revolving Obligations constituting unpaid principal
of the Revolving Loans, ratably among the applicable Secured Parties in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Fourth held by them; 

Fifth, to the payment of all other Revolving Obligations of the Loan Parties that are due and payable to the
Administrative Agent and the other applicable Secured Parties on such date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such Revolving Obligations owing to the Administrative Agent and the other applicable Secured Parties on such
date; 
 Sixth, to payment of that portion of the Secured Obligations (other than Revolving Obligations) constituting
fees, indemnities and other amounts (other than principal and interest) payable to the applicable Secured Parties, ratably among them in proportion to the amounts described in this clause Sixth payable to them; 

Seventh, to payment of that portion of the Secured Obligations (other than Revolving Obligations) constituting accrued
and unpaid interest on the Term Loans, the Secured Hedging Obligations and the Secured Cash Management Obligations, ratably among the applicable Secured Parties in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Seventh payable
to them; 
 Eighth, to payment of that portion of the Secured Obligations (other than Revolving Obligations)
constituting unpaid principal of, or the termination or close-out amount of, the Term Loans, the Secured Hedging Obligations and the Secured Cash Management Obligations, ratably among the applicable Secured Parties in proportion to the respective
amounts described in this clause Eighth held by them; 
 Ninth, to the payment of all other Secured Obligations
(other than Revolving Obligations) of the Loan Parties that are due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the other applicable Secured Parties on such date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such Secured Obligations
(other than Revolving Obligations) owing to the Administrative Agent and the other applicable Secured Parties on such date; and 

Last, the balance, if any, after all of the Secured Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full, to the Borrowers or
as otherwise required by applicable law. 

  
 127 








 (b) The parties to each Loan Document (including each Loan Party) irrevocably
agree that (i) this Agreement (including the provisions of this Section 8.02) constitutes a “subordination agreement” within the meaning of Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code and is intended to be and shall be interpreted
to be enforceable to the maximum extent permitted pursuant to applicable non-bankruptcy law, and that the terms hereof will survive, and will continue in full force and effect and be binding upon each of the parties hereto, in any Insolvency or
Liquidation Proceeding and (ii) to the maximum extent permitted by law, the Revolving Obligations (and the security therefor) constitute a separate and distinct class and separate and distinct claims from the other Secured Obligations (and the
security therefor). If any Secured Party collects or receives any amounts on account of the Secured Obligations to which it is not entitled under Section 8.02(a) or otherwise by the terms hereof, such Secured Party shall hold the same in trust
for the applicable Secured Parties entitled thereto and shall forthwith deliver the same to the Collateral Agent, for the account of such Secured Parties, to be applied in accordance with Section 8.02(a), in each case until the prior payment in
full in cash of the applicable Secured Obligations of such Secured Parties. 
 8.03. Replacement of Revolving Lenders under Certain
Circumstances. 
 (a) Any of the Term Lenders (each an “Eligible Purchaser”) shall have the right to
purchase by way of assignment, at any time during the exercise period described in Section 8.03(c) below, all, but not less than all, of the outstanding Revolving Loans and Revolving Commitments of the Revolving Lenders including all principal
of and accrued and unpaid interest and fees on and all prepayment or acceleration penalties and premiums in respect of such Secured Obligations outstanding at the time of purchase. Upon receipt of a notice in accordance with Section 8.03(b)
from an Eligible Purchaser, the Administrative Agent will promptly notify each other Term Lender of the contents of such notice. Each such Term Lender may elect to participate in such purchase of the outstanding loans and commitments of the
Revolving Lenders by providing written notice to the Administrative Agent no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York time) three (3) Business Days after the date of such Lender’s receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent regarding such
purchase. Unless otherwise agreed to by the Eligible Purchasers, the obligations to be purchased shall be allocated among the participating Eligible Purchasers ratably on the basis of the relative amount of the sum of each participating Eligible
Purchaser’s outstanding Term Loans. Any purchase pursuant to this Section 8.03(a) shall be made as follows: 
 (i)
for a purchase price equal to the sum of (A) in the case of all credit extensions that constitute outstanding Revolving Loans and Revolving Commitments of the Revolving Lenders, as applicable, 100% of the principal amount thereof and all
accrued and unpaid interest thereon through the date of purchase plus (B) all accrued and unpaid fees, expenses, indemnities and other amounts through the date of purchase; 

(ii) with the purchase price described in preceding clause (a)(i) payable in cash on the date of purchase; 

  
 128 








 (iii) with all amounts payable in respect of the assignments described above to
be distributed to them by the Administrative Agent ratably among the Revolving Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts described in Section 8.03(a)(i) held by them; and 

(iv) with such purchase to be made pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption Agreement; it being understood and agreed that each
Revolving Lender shall retain all rights to indemnification as provided in the relevant Loan Documents for all periods prior to any assignment by them pursuant to the provisions of this Section 8.03. 

(b) The right to exercise the purchase option described in Section 8.03(a) above shall be exercisable and legally
enforceable upon at least ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice of exercise (which notice, once given, shall be irrevocable and fully binding on the respective Eligible Purchaser or Eligible Purchasers) given to the Administrative
Agent by an Eligible Purchaser. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Revolving Lender shall have any disclosure obligation to any Eligible Purchaser in connection with any exercise of such purchase option. 

(c) The right to purchase the outstanding Revolving Loans and Revolving Commitments of the Revolving Lenders, as applicable, as
described in this Section 8.03 may be exercised (by giving the irrevocable written notice described in preceding clause (b)) during each of the periods that (1) begins on the date first to occur of (x) the exercise of remedies
provided for in Section 8.01 (or upon the Loans automatically becoming immediately due and payable), (y) the occurrence of the final maturity of the Loans under this Agreement or (z) the occurrence of an Event of Default pursuant to
clause (10) of Section 8.01(a) and (2) ends on the 60th day after the start of the applicable period described above. 

(d) The obligations of the Revolving Lenders to sell their respective Revolving Loans and Revolving Commitments under this
Section 8.03 are several and not joint and several. To the extent any Revolving Lender (a “Defaulting Creditor”) breaches its obligation to sell its Revolving Loans and Revolving Commitments under this Section 8.03,
nothing in this Section 8.03 shall be deemed to require the Administrative Agent or any other Revolving Lender to purchase such Defaulting Creditor’s Revolving Loans and Revolving Commitments for resale to the participating Eligible
Purchasers and in all cases, the Administrative Agent, each Revolving Lender complying with the terms of this Section 8.03 shall not be deemed to be in default of this Agreement or otherwise be deemed liable for any action or inaction of any
Defaulting Creditor. 
 (e) Each Loan Party irrevocably consents to any assignment effected to one or more Eligible
Purchasers pursuant to this Section 8.03 for purposes of all Loan Documents and hereby agrees that no further consent from such Loan Party shall be required. 

8.04. Equity Cure Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 8.01, in the event that the Borrowers fail
to comply with the requirements of the financial 

  
 129 








 
covenant set forth in Section 7.18, after the last day of the applicable fiscal quarter and until the expiration of the tenth day after the date on which the compliance certificate is
required to be delivered pursuant to Section 7.08, Operating and Capricorn Holdings shall have the right to issue Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Equity Interests) for cash or otherwise receive cash contributions to the capital of
Operating and/or Capricorn Holdings (in each case, other than issuances to, or cash contributions from, any Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries) and apply the amount of the proceeds thereof to increase Combined EBITDA with respect to
the applicable fiscal quarter of the Borrowers (the “Cure Right”); provided that (a) such proceeds are actually received by Operating and/or Capricorn Holdings, as the case may be, no later than ten days after the date
on which the compliance certificate is required to be delivered pursuant to Section 7.08, (b) such proceeds do not exceed the aggregate amount necessary to cure (by addition to Combined EBITDA) (the “Cure Amount”) such
Event of Default under Section 7.18 for the applicable period, (c) the Cure Right shall not be exercised more than four times during the term of this Agreement and (d) in each period of four consecutive fiscal quarters of the
Borrowers, there shall be at least two consecutive fiscal quarters during which the Cure Right is not exercised. If, after giving effect to the foregoing adjustment, the Borrowers are in compliance with the financial covenant set forth in
Section 7.18, then the Borrowers shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of such Section as of the relevant date of determination with the same effect as though there had been no failure to comply on such date, and the applicable
breach or default of such Section that had occurred shall be deemed cured for purposes of this Agreement. The parties hereby acknowledge that this Section may not be relied on for purposes of calculating any financial ratios other than as applicable
to Section 7.18 and shall not result in any adjustment to any amounts, other than the amount of the Combined EBITDA referred to in the immediately preceding sentence. 

SECTION 9. The Administrative Agent. 

9.01. Appointment. The Lenders in their capacities as Lenders hereby irrevocably designate and appoint Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch,
as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent to act as specified herein and in the other Loan Documents. Each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes, and each holder of any Note by the acceptance of such Note shall be deemed irrevocably to authorize,
the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any other instruments and agreements referred to herein or therein and to exercise such powers
and to perform such duties hereunder and thereunder as are specifically delegated to or required of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, by the terms hereof and thereof and such other powers as are reasonably
incidental thereto. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may perform any of its respective duties hereunder by or through its officers, directors, agents, employees or affiliates. For purpose of this Section 9, the term
“Administrative Agent” shall be deemed to also refer to the Collateral Agent. 
 9.02. Nature of Duties. 

(a) The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement
and in the other Loan Documents. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, agents, employees or 

  
 130 








 
affiliates shall be liable for any action taken or omitted by it or them hereunder or under any other Loan Document or in connection herewith or therewith, unless caused by its or their gross
negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non–appealable decision). The duties of the Administrative Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature; the Administrative Agent
shall not have by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender or the holder of any Note, and nothing in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, expressed or implied, is intended to or
shall be so construed as to impose upon the Administrative Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document except as expressly set forth herein or therein. 

(b) It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other
similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent in such capacity is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead such term is used as a matter
of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties. 

(c) The Administrative Agent, in such capacity, shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth
herein and in the other Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent: 

(i) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing; 
 (ii) 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; and 
 (iii) 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 any Borrower 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. 
 9.03. Lack of Reliance on the
Administrative Agent. Independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the holder of each Note, to the extent it deems appropriate, has made and shall continue to make (a) its own independent investigation
of the financial condition and affairs of the Borrowers and their respective Subsidiaries in connection with the making and the continuance of the Loans and the taking or not taking of any 

  
 131 








 
action in connection herewith and (b) its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of the Borrowers and their respective Subsidiaries and, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the
Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender or the holder of any Note with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession
before the making of the Loans or at any time or times thereafter. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible to any Lender or the holder of any Note for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties herein or in any
document, certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, perfection, collectability, priority or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or
the financial condition of the Borrowers and their respective Subsidiaries or be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document,
or the financial condition of the Borrowers and their respective Subsidiaries or the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default. 

9.04. Certain Rights of the Administrative Agent. If the Administrative Agent requests instructions from the Required Lenders with
respect to any act or action (including failure to act) in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action unless and until the Administrative Agent
shall have received instructions from the Required Lenders; and the Administrative Agent shall not incur liability to any Lender by reason of so refraining. Without limiting the foregoing, neither any Lender nor the holder of any Note shall have any
right of action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent as a result of the Administrative Agent acting or refraining from acting hereunder or under any other Loan Document in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders. 

9.05. Reliance. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing,
resolution, notice, statement, certificate, telex, teletype or telecopier message, cablegram, radiogram, order or other document or telephone message signed, sent or made by any Person that the Administrative Agent believed to be the proper Person,
and, with respect to all legal matters pertaining to this Agreement and any other Loan Document and its duties hereunder and thereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by the Administrative Agent. 

9.06. Indemnification. To the extent the Administrative Agent (or any affiliate thereof) is not reimbursed and indemnified by the
Borrowers or the Guarantors, the Lenders will reimburse and indemnify the Administrative Agent (and its Affiliates and their respective partners, members, directors, officers, agents, employees and controlling persons (if any)) in proportion to
their respective Percentages (in respect of all Classes of Commitments and Loans, on a combined basis), for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, costs, expenses or disbursements of
whatsoever kind or nature which may be imposed on, asserted against or incurred by the Administrative Agent (or any affiliate thereof) in performing its duties hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or in any way relating to or arising out of
this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting
from the Administrative Agent’s (or such Affiliate’s) gross negligence or willful misconduct (as 

  
 132 








 
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision); provided, further, that nothing in this Section 9.06 shall serve to relieve any Loan
Party of its indemnification obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 
 9.07. The Administrative Agent in its
Individual Capacity. With respect to its obligation to make Loans under this Agreement, Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch shall have the rights and powers specified herein for a “Lender” and may exercise the same rights and powers as
though it were not performing the Administrative Agent duties specified herein; and the term “Lender,” “Required Lenders” or any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, include Deutsche Bank AG New
York Branch in its respective individual capacities. The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of banking, investment banking, trust or other business with, or provide debt
financing, equity capital or other services (including financial advisory services) to any Loan Party or any Affiliate of any Loan Party (or any Person engaged in a similar business with any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof) as if they were not
performing the duties specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from any Loan Party or any Affiliate of any Loan Party for services in connection with this Agreement and otherwise without having to account for the same to the
Lenders. 
 9.08. Holders. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes
hereof unless and until a written notice of the assignment, transfer or endorsement thereof, as the case may be, shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. Any request, authority or consent of any Person who, at the time of making such
request or giving such authority or consent, is the holder of any Note shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee, assignee or endorsee, as the case may be, of such Note or of any Note or Notes issued in exchange therefor.

 9.09. Resignation by the Administrative Agent. 

(a) The Administrative Agent may resign from the performance of all its respective functions and duties hereunder and/or under
the other Loan Documents at any time by giving written notice to the Lenders and, unless a Default or an Event of Default under Section 8.01(a)(10) then exists, the Borrowers. Such resignation shall take effect upon the appointment of a
successor Administrative Agent pursuant to clauses (b) and (c) below or as otherwise provided below. 
 (b) Upon
any such notice of resignation by the Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders shall appoint a successor Administrative Agent hereunder or thereunder who shall be a commercial bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Borrowers, which
acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (provided that the Borrowers’ approval shall not be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing). 

(c) If a successor Administrative Agent shall not have been so appointed within 15 days of the date of the applicable notice of
resignation, the Administrative Agent may then (but is not obligated to) appoint a successor Administrative Agent that is reasonably satisfactory to the Borrowers who shall serve as Administrative Agent hereunder or thereunder until such time, if
any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided above. 

  
 133 








 (d) The Administrative Agent’s resignation will, to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law, be effective on the earlier of (i) the date a replacement Administrative Agent is appointed and (ii) the date 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation by the Administrative Agent (regardless of
whether a replacement Administrative Agent has been appointed pursuant to clause (b) or (c) above). If no successor Administrative Agent has been appointed pursuant to clause (b) or (c) by the date on which the Administrative
Agent’s resignation becomes effective, the Required Lenders shall thereafter perform all the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder and/or under any other Loan Document until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor
Administrative Agent as provided above. 
 9.10. Co-Collateral Agent; Separate Collateral Agent. At any time or from time to time, in
order to comply with any applicable requirement of law, the Administrative Agent may appoint another bank or trust company or one or more other persons, either to act as co-agent or agents on behalf of the Administrative Agent and the other Lender
Creditors with such power and authority as may be necessary for the effectual operation of the provisions hereof and which may be specified in the instrument of appointment (which may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, include
provisions for indemnification and similar protections of such co-agent or separate agent substantially the same as those contained herein). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, every such agent, sub-collateral agent and every
co-agent shall, to the extent permitted by law, be appointed and act and be such, subject to the condition that no power given hereby, or which is provided herein or in any other Loan Document to any such co-agent, sub-collateral agent or agent
shall be exercised hereunder or thereunder by such co-agent or agent except jointly with, or with the consent in writing of, the Administrative Agent. 

9.11. Other Agents. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document,
none of the Sole Global Coordinator, the Lead Arrangers, the Joint Bookrunners or the Co-Managers, in each case listed on the cover page to this Agreement (collectively, the “Other Agents”) shall have any powers, duties or
responsibilities, nor shall the Other Agents have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any
other Loan Document or otherwise exist against any Other Agent. 
 9.12. Security Trustee. The Lenders in their capacities as Lenders
and the counterparties (other than any Borrower or any Guarantor) to any agreement the obligations under which constitute Secured Cash Management Obligations or Secured Hedging Obligations in their capacities as such (the “Secured
Counterparties”) hereby irrevocably designate and appoint Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch, as security trustee (in such capacity, the “Security Trustee”) to act as specified herein and in the Ship Mortgages and other Loan
Documents. Each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes, each holder of any Note by the acceptance of such Note shall be deemed irrevocably to authorize or to have authorized, as the case may be, and each Secured Counterparty by the entrance into the
applicable hedging 

  
 134 








 
agreement or agreement to provide cash management services shall be deemed irrevocably to authorize or to have authorized, the Security Trustee to take such action on its behalf under the
provisions of this Agreement, the Ship Mortgages, the other Loan Documents and any other instruments and agreements referred to herein or therein and to exercise such powers and to perform such duties hereunder and thereunder as are specifically
delegated to or required of the Security Trustee, as the case may be, by the terms hereof and thereof and such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Security Trustee may perform any of its respective duties hereunder by or through
its officers, directors, agents, employees or affiliates. For purposes of the reliance, indemnification and resignation provisions in this Section 9, the term “Administrative Agent” shall be deemed to also refer to the Security
Trustee. Each Secured Counterpary, whether or not a party hereto, will be deemed, by its acceptance of the benefits of the Collateral Agreements, the Guarantee Agreement and the other Loan Documents, to have agreed to the provisions of this
Section 9.12 and the other provisions of the Loan Documents applicable thereto. 
 SECTION 10. Miscellaneous. 

10.01. Payment of Expenses, etc. The Borrowers hereby agree to: (a) pay all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and
expenses of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent (including the reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP and, if reasonably necessary, maritime counsel and a single local counsel in each
appropriate jurisdiction, and, in the case of a conflict of interest, one additional counsel in each jurisdiction to such affected parties similarly situated) in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the documents and instruments referred to herein and therein and in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of any amendment, waiver or consent relating
hereto or thereto, and each of the Agents and Lenders in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the documents and instruments referred to herein and therein or protection of their rights hereunder or
thereunder or in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided under this Agreement in the nature of a “work-out” or pursuant to any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings; (b) pay and hold the
Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders harmless from and against any and all Other Taxes with respect to the foregoing matters, the performance of any obligation under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any payment thereunder, and
save the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders harmless from and against any and all liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay or omission (other than to the extent attributable to the Administrative Agent or such Lender) to pay
such Other Taxes; and (c) indemnify the Agents and each Lender, and each of their respective Affiliates and Related Parties (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and hold each of them harmless against any and all liabilities,
obligations (including removal or remedial actions), losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements (including the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of one firm of counsel for
all such Indemnified Parties, taken as a whole, and, if necessary, of a single firm of maritime counsel and a single firm of local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction (which may include a single firm of special counsel acting in multiple
jurisdictions) for all such Indemnified Parties, taken as a whole (and, in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest where the Indemnified Party affected by such conflict informs the Borrowers of such conflict and thereafter retains
its own counsel, of 

  
 135 








 
another firm of counsel for such affected Indemnified Party and, if necessary, of a single firm of maritime counsel and a single firm of local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction (which may
include a single firm of special counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions) for such affected Indemnified Party)) incurred by, imposed on or assessed against any of them as a result of, or arising out of, or in any way related to, or by reason of,
(i) any claim, investigation, litigation or other proceeding (whether or not any Indemnified Party is a party thereto and whether or not such investigation, litigation or other proceeding is brought by or on behalf of any Loan Party or any
third party) related to the entering into and/or performance of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the proceeds of any Loans hereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated herein or in any other
Loan Document or the exercise of any of their rights or remedies provided herein or in the other Loan Documents, or (ii) the actual or alleged presence or Release of Hazardous Materials in the air, surface water or groundwater or on the surface
or subsurface of any Vessel or Real Property at any time owned, leased or operated by any of the Borrowers or any of their respective Subsidiaries, the generation, storage, transportation, handling, disposal or Release of Hazardous Materials by any
of the Borrowers or any of their respective Subsidiaries at any location, whether or not owned, leased or operated by any of the Borrowers or any of their respective Subsidiaries, the noncompliance with Environmental Law (including applicable
permits thereunder) applicable to any Vessel or Real Property at any time owned, leased, operated or occupied by any of the Borrowers or any of their respective Subsidiaries, or any other Environmental Liability related to any of the Borrowers or
any of their respective Subsidiaries, or any Vessel or Real Property at any time owned, leased, operated or occupied by any of the Borrowers or any of their respective Subsidiaries, including, in each case, the reasonable fees and disbursements of
counsel and other consultants incurred in connection with any such investigation, litigation, claim or other proceeding, or any other liability or obligation under Environmental Law relating in any way to any of the Borrowers or any of their
respective Subsidiaries; provided that no such Indemnified Party will be indemnified for costs, expenses, losses, claims, damages, penalties or liabilities (a) to the extent determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of
competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the bad faith, fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party or any Related Party of such Indemnified Party, (b) to the extent resulting from a claim brought by any of the
Borrowers or any of their respective Subsidiaries against such Indemnified Party or any Related Party of such Indemnified Party for material breach of such Indemnified Party’s obligations hereunder, if such Borrower or such Subsidiary has
obtained a final and non-appealable judgment in its or its Subsidiary’s favor on such claim, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, (c) to the extent it relates to Taxes (other than any Taxes that represent liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements arising from any non-Tax claim) or (d) to the extent resulting from a proceeding that does not involve an act or omission by any of
the Borrowers or any of their respective Affiliates and that is brought by an Indemnified Party against any other Indemnified Party (other than claims against any Sole Global Coordinator, Lead Arranger, Joint Bookrunner, arranger, bookrunner or
agent in its capacity as, or in fulfilling its role as, Sole Global Coordinator, Lead Arranger, Joint Bookrunner, arranger, bookrunner or agent, or any similar role, under this Agreement). To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay or hold
harmless any Indemnified Party set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy, the Borrowers shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the indemnified
liabilities which is permissible under applicable law. 

  
 136 








 Without limiting the Borrowers’ reimbursement, indemnification and contribution obligations
set forth in this Section 10.01, in no event will such Indemnified Party have any liability for any indirect, consequential, special or punitive damages in connection with or as a result of such Indemnified Party’s activities related to
this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. In no event will the Borrowers have any liability to the Indemnified Parties for any indirect, consequential, special or punitive damages in connection with or as a result of the Borrowers’ activities
relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, other than any such damages included in a third party claim for which an Indemnified Party is liable and is otherwise entitled to reimbursement, indemnification or contribution under this
Section 10.01. 
 10.02. Right of Setoff. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law or otherwise,
and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent and each Lender is hereby authorized at any time or from time to time, without presentment, demand,
protest or other notice of any kind to any Loan Party or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special) and any other Indebtedness at any time
held or owing by the Administrative Agent or such Lender (including by branches and agencies of the Administrative Agent or such Lender wherever located) to or for the credit or the account of any of the Loan Parties against and on account of the
Loan Document Obligations and liabilities of the Loan Parties to the Administrative Agent or such Lender under this Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents, including all interests in the Loan Document Obligations purchased by such Lender
pursuant to Section 10.06(b), and all other claims of any nature or description arising out of or connected with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, irrespective of whether or not the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall have made
any demand hereunder and although said Loan Document Obligations, liabilities or claims, or any of them, shall be contingent or unmatured. Any recovery by any Lender pursuant to its setoff rights under this Section 10.02 is subject to the
provisions of Section 8.02. 
 10.03. Notices. 

(a) Notices Generally. Except in the case of notices and other communications expressly permitted to be given by
telephone (and except as provided in Section 10.03(b)), all notices and other communications provided for herein shall be in writing and shall be delivered by hand or overnight courier service, mailed by certified or registered mail or sent by
facsimile as follows: if to the Borrowers, at the addresses specified opposite their signatures below or in the other relevant Loan Documents; if to any Lender, at the address it last provided to the Administrative Agent, if any, and if to the
Administrative Agent, at the Notice Office; or, as to the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to the other parties hereto and, as to each Lender, at such other address
as shall be designated by such Lender in a written notice to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent. 

  
 137 








 Notices sent by hand or overnight courier service, or mailed by certified or registered mail,
shall be deemed to have been given when received; notices sent by facsimile 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 delivered through electronic communications, to the extent provided in Section 10.03(b), shall be effective as provided in such Section. 

(b) Electronic Communications. Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished
by electronic communication (including e-mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to
any Lender pursuant to Section 2 if such Lender has notified the Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under Section 2 by electronic communication. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers may, in its
discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

 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), 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; provided that, for both clauses (i) and (ii) above, if such notice, email 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 the recipient. 

(c) Change of Address, etc. Any party hereto may change its address or facsimile number for notices and other
communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto. 
 (d) Platform. 

(i) Each Loan Party agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the Communications (as
defined below) available to the other Lenders by posting the Communications on Debt Domain, Intralinks, Syndtrak or a substantially similar electronic transmission system (the “Platform”). 

(ii) The Platform is provided “as is” and “as available.” Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its
Affiliates warrants the adequacy of the Platform and each of the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates expressly disclaim liability for errors or omissions in the Communications. 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 

  
 138 








 
by any Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in connection with the Communications or the Platform. In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates have any liability
to the Borrowers or the other Loan Parties, any Lender or any other Person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise)
arising out of the Borrowers’, any Loan Party’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of communications through the Platform. “Communications” means, collectively, any notice, demand, communication, information,
document or other material provided by or on behalf of any Loan Party pursuant to any Loan Document or the transactions contemplated therein which is distributed to the Administrative Agent or any Lender by means of electronic communications
pursuant to this Section, including through the Platform. 
 10.04. Benefit of Agreement; Assignments; Participations. 

(a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the respective successors and
assigns of the parties hereto; provided, however, that, except as expressly permitted by Section 7.14, none of the Borrowers may assign, delegate or otherwise transfer any of its rights, obligations or interest hereunder or under
any other Loan Document without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender (and any attempted assignment, delegation or transfer by the Borrowers without such consent shall be null and void), and provided,
further, that, no Lender may assign, delegate 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, Participants (to the extent provided in Section 10.04(c)) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the sub-agents of the Administrative Agent and
the related parties of any of the Administrative Agent and any Lender) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. 

(b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in Section 10.04(b)(ii), any Lender (or any Lender together with one or
more other Lenders) may assign and delegate to one or more Eligible Transferees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior
written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of (A) in the case of the assignment and delegation of Revolving Loans or Revolving Commitments, the Revolving Borrowers, and in the case of the assignment and delegation
of Term Loans or Term Commitments, the Term Borrowers; provided that no consent of any Borrower shall be required (1)(a) for an assignment and delegation to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or (b) during the primary initial
syndication of the Initial Term Loans as arranged prior to the Restatement Effective Date and agreed by the Term Borrowers (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and (2) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, for any other
assignment and delegation; provided further that the Borrowers shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment and delegation unless the Borrowers have objected thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five
Business Days after having received notice thereof, and (B) the Administrative Agent; provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment and delegation to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or to a
Borrower or Subsidiary pursuant to Section 2.13. 

  
 139 








 (ii) Assignments and delegations shall be subject to the following additional
conditions: (A) except in the case of an assignment and delegation to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an assignment and delegation of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans of any Class, the
amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment and delegation (determined as of the trade date specified in the Assignment and Assumption Agreement with respect to such assignment and delegation or, if no
trade date is so specified, as of the date the Assignment and Assumption Agreement with respect to such assignment and delegation is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 or, in the case of Term Loans, $1,000,000,
unless each of the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that no such consent of the Borrowers shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, (B) each partial assignment and delegation shall be made as an assignment and delegation of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement; provided that this clause
(B) shall not be construed to prohibit the assignment and delegation of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of one Class of Commitments or Loans, (C) the parties to each assignment and
delegation shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption Agreement, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; provided that, with respect to an assignment and delegation pursuant to
Section 2.11, the parties hereto agree that such assignment and delegation may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption Agreement executed by the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the assignee and that the Lender required to
make such assignment and delegation need not be a party thereto, (D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender immediately prior to such assignment, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent any tax forms required by Section 4.08(i), (j),
(k), (l) or (m), (E) no such transfer or assignment will be effective until recorded by the Administrative Agent on the Register pursuant to Section 10.15; (F) Annex I shall be deemed modified to reflect the
outstanding Commitments and/or Loans of such new Lender and of the existing Lenders and (G) upon the surrender of the relevant Notes by the assigning Lender, new Notes will be issued, at the Borrowers’ expense, to such new Lender and to
the assigning Lender upon the request of such new Lender or assigning Lender, such new Notes to be in conformity with the requirements of Section 2.04 (with appropriate modifications) to the extent needed to reflect the revised outstanding
Loans. 
 (iii) To the extent of any assignment pursuant to this Section 10.04, from and after the effective date
specified in each Assignment and Assumption Agreement, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned and delegated by such Assignment and Assumption Agreement, have the rights and obligations of a Lender
under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned and delegated by such Assignment and Assumption Agreement, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and,


  
 140 








 
in the case of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement covering all 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 2.07, 2.08, 4.08, 9.06 and 10.01 and to any fees payable hereunder that have accrued for such Lender’s account but have not yet been
paid). Any assignment, delegation or other transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 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 Section 10.04(c). 
 (c) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrowers
or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more Eligible Transferees (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its
Commitments and Loans of any Class); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of
such obligations and (C) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the 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 to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any
other Loan Document; 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 that requires the approval of all the Lenders, or
that requires the approval of all affected Lenders and the Participant is affected thereby. In the case of any such participation, the participant shall not have any rights under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents (the
participant’s rights against such Lender in respect of such participation to be those set forth in the agreement executed by such Lender in favor of the participant relating thereto), except as provided in this Section 10.04(c). The
Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.08, 2.09 and 4.08 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 4.08(i), (j), (k), (l) or
(m) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 4.08(i), (j), (k), (l) or (m) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by
assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant (1) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 2.10 and 2.11 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section; and
(2) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.08 or 4.08 with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a
greater payment results from a change in law, rule, regulation, treaty, order, guideline, or directive (or in the interpretation or administration thereof) that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that
sells a participation agrees, at the Borrowers’ request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrowers to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.11 with respect to any Participant. Each Lender that sells a
participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and 

  
 141 








 
address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document
(the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a
Participant’s interest in any Loans or its other obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan or other obligation is in
registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the
Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no
responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. 
 (d) Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or prohibit any Lender
from pledging its Loans and Notes hereunder to a Federal Reserve Bank or any central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender in support of borrowings made by such Lender from such Federal Reserve Bank or central bank and, with prior notification
to the Administrative Agent (but without the consent of the Administrative Agent or the Borrowers), any Lender which is a fund may pledge all or any portion of its Loans and Notes to its trustee or to a collateral agent providing credit or credit
support to such Lender in support of its obligations to such trustee, such collateral agent or a holder of such obligations, as the case may be. No pledge pursuant to this paragraph (d) shall release the transferor Lender from any of its
obligations hereunder. 
 10.05. No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent, the
Collateral Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document and no course of dealing between the Borrowers or any other Loan Party and the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any
Lender shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power
or privilege hereunder or thereunder. The rights, powers and remedies herein or in any other Loan Document expressly provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, powers or remedies which the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or
any Lender would otherwise have. No notice to or demand on any Loan Party in any case shall entitle any Loan Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of the Administrative
Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand. 
 10.06. Payments
Pro Rata. 
 (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent agrees that promptly after its
receipt of each payment from or on behalf of the Borrowers in respect of any Loan Document Obligations or Class of Loans hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the Lenders entitled thereto (other than any Lender that
has consented in writing to waive its pro rata share of any such payment) pro rata based upon their respective shares, if any, of the Loan Document Obligations or Class of Loans with respect to which such payment was
received. 

  
 142 








 (b) Each of the Lenders agrees that, except as otherwise provided in this
Agreement, if it should receive any amount hereunder (whether by voluntary payment, by realization upon security, by the exercise of the right of setoff or banker’s Lien, by counterclaim or cross action, by the enforcement of any right under
the Loan Documents, or otherwise), which is applicable to the payment of the principal of, or interest on, the Loans or Fees, of a sum which with respect to the related sum or sums received by other Lenders is in a greater proportion than the total
of such Loan Document Obligation then owed and due to such Lender bears to the total of such Loan Document Obligation then owed and due to all of the Lenders immediately prior to such receipt, then such Lender receiving such excess payment shall
purchase for cash without recourse or warranty from the other Lenders an interest in the Loan Document Obligations of the respective Loan Party to such Lenders in such amount as shall result in a proportional participation by all the Lenders in such
amount; provided that (i) if all or any portion of such excess amount is thereafter recovered from such Lenders, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest and
(ii) any payment received in consideration for an assignment or participation permitted pursuant to Section 10.04 shall not be subject to this Section 10.06(b). Nothing in this Section 10.06 shall be construed to limit the
applicability of Section 8.02 in the circumstances where Section 8.02 is applicable in accordance with its terms. 
 10.07.
Calculations; Computations. 
 (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 1.02(b), the financial statements to be
furnished to the Lenders pursuant hereto shall be made and prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the periods involved (except as set forth in the notes thereto or as otherwise disclosed in writing by the Borrowers to the
Lenders to the extent, in each case, permitted by the terms of this Agreement). 
 (b) All computations of interest and Fees
hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days (except for computations of interest with respect to Base Rate Loans when the Base Rate is determined by reference to clause (a) of the definition thereof, which shall be calculated on
the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days) for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest or Fees are payable. 

10.08. GOVERNING LAW; SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION; VENUE; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. 

(a) THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER AND THEREUNDER SHALL, EXCEPT AS
OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN CERTAIN OF THE SHIP MORTGAGES AND OTHER COLLATERAL AGREEMENTS, BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND BE GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF THE 

  
 143 








 
STATE OF NEW YORK. ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK OR OF THE UNITED STATES FOR THE
SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, IN EACH CASE WHICH ARE LOCATED IN THE COUNTY OF NEW YORK, AND, BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, EACH PARTY HEREUNDER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY ACCEPTS FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF
ITS PROPERTY, GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY, THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE AFORESAID COURTS. EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER HEREBY FURTHER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH COURTS LACK PERSONAL JURISDICTION OVER ANY PARTY HEREUNDER, AND
AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM, IN ANY LEGAL ACTION PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BROUGHT IN ANY OF THE AFOREMENTIONED COURTS, THAT SUCH COURTS LACK PERSONAL JURISDICTION OVER ANY PARTY HEREUNDER. EACH OF THE
PARTIES HEREUNDER FURTHER IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE SERVICE OF PROCESS OUT OF ANY OF THE AFOREMENTIONED COURTS IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY THE MAILING OF COPIES THEREOF BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID, IN THE MANNER
PROVIDED FOR NOTICES IN SECTION 10.03, SUCH SERVICE TO BECOME EFFECTIVE 30 DAYS AFTER SUCH DELIVERY. EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION TO SUCH SERVICE OF PROCESS AND FURTHER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES AND AGREES NOT
TO PLEAD OR CLAIM IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING COMMENCED HEREUNDER OR UNDER ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS WAS IN ANY WAY INVALID OR INEFFECTIVE. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE COLLATERAL
AGENT, ANY LENDER OR THE HOLDER OF ANY NOTE TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR TO COMMENCE LEGAL PROCEEDINGS OR OTHERWISE PROCEED AGAINST ANY PARTY HEREUNDER IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. 

(b) EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY OF
THE AFORESAID ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT BROUGHT IN THE COURTS REFERRED TO IN CLAUSE (a) ABOVE AND HEREBY FURTHER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM IN
ANY SUCH COURT THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM. 
 (c) EACH OF
THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.

 10.09. Counterparts. 

(a) Counterparts; Integration. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in
different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees
payable to the Administrative Agent, 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.
Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or in electronic (i.e., “pdf” or “tif”) format shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement. 

(b) Electronic Execution of Assignments. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and
words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption Agreement 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. 
 10.10.

signatures of each of the other parties hereto. 
 10.11. Headings Descriptive. The headings of the several sections and subsections
of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or construction of any provision of this Agreement. 

10.12. Amendment or Waiver; etc. 

(a) Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any terms hereof or thereof may be changed, waived, discharged or
terminated unless such change, waiver, discharge or termination is in writing signed by (x) each of the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency, so long as, in each case, the Lenders shall
have received at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice thereof and the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five Business Days of the date of such notice to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required
Lenders stating that the Required Lenders object to such amendment or (y) the respective Loan Parties party hereto or thereto and the Required Lenders, provided that, except as otherwise expressly permitted under Section 2.14,

the Required Revolving Lenders and the Required Term Lenders, (B) reduce the percentage specified in the definition of “Required Revolving Lenders” without the written consent of the Required Revolving Lenders or (C) reduce the
percentage specified in the definition of “Required Term Lenders” without the written consent of the Required Term Lenders;

clauses (f) and (g) (and clause (b) to the extent that it applies to such clauses (f) and (g)), each Secured Counterparty, in each case directly and negatively affected thereby (with Loan Document Obligations being directly and
negatively affected in the case of the following clause (d), to the extent that any such Lender would be required to make a Loan in excess of its pro rata portion provided for in this Agreement or would receive a payment or
prepayment of Loans or a commitment reduction that (in any case) is less than its pro rata portion provided for in this Agreement, in each case, as a result of any such amendment, modification or waiver referred to in the following
clause (d)): 
 (a) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Loan or Note held by such Lender, or reduce the rate or extend the time
of payment of interest thereon, or reduce the amount, or extend the time of payment, of any Fees thereon (except in connection with the waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates), or extend the timing of repayment of any
such Loan, or reduce the principal amount of any such Loan thereof, or increase the Commitment of any Lender, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment of any Lender,

or all Lenders directly and negatively affected thereby, 
 (c) reduce the percentage specified in the definition of “Required
Lenders”, 

  
 146 








 (d) amend, modify or waive (x) Section 2.05 or (y) any other provision in this
Agreement to the extent providing for payments or prepayments of Loans to be applied pro rata among the Lenders entitled to such payments or prepayments of Loans (it being understood that the waiver of any mandatory prepayment of Term
Loans by the Required Lenders shall not constitute an amendment, modification or waiver for purposes of this clause (d)), 
 (e)
consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrowers of any of their rights and obligations under this Agreement, 
 (f) substitute,
replace or release any Guarantor from a Loan Guarantee (other than as permitted by the Loan Documents) or release substantially all the value of the Loan Guarantees (except as expressly provided in the Loan Documents) or 

(g) amend, modify or waive Section 8.02; 

(iv) no such change, waiver, discharge or termination shall change the provisions of any Loan Document in a manner that by its
terms adversely affects the rights in respect of payments due to, or the Collateral of, Lenders holding Loans of one Class differently from the rights of Lenders holding Loans of any other Class without the prior written consent of Lenders holding a
majority in interest of the outstanding Loans and unused Commitments of each adversely affected Class; 
 (v) no such change,

(b) amend, modify or waive any provision of this Section 10.12(a)(vi), 

(vii) no such change, waiver, discharge or termination shall, without the consent of the Required Secured Parties, amend,
modify or waive Sections 7.03(b) and 7.06 hereof, Clauses 7, 8 and 9 of any Ship Mortgage (in the case of a Ship Mortgage registered under Panama law) or Clause 3.1(a) of the deed of covenants (in the case of a


  
 147 








 
Ship Mortgage registered under Bahamas law) in effect as of the Original Effective Date; provided that each of the proviso to Section 7.03(b), the definition of “Acceptable Ship
Registry” and the definition of “Ship Registry” may not be amended without the consent of each Lender and each Secured Counterparty; 

(viii) no such change, waiver, discharge or termination shall, without the consent of the Required Revolving Lenders, amend,
modify or waive (A) any condition precedent set forth in Section 5.02 with respect to the making of Revolving Loans (it being understood that a general waiver of an existing Default by the Required Lenders or an amendment approved by the
Required Lenders that has the effect of “curing” an existing Default and permitting the making of Loans shall constitute a waiver of a condition precedent governed under this clause (viii)) and (B) any provision of Section 4.10
in a manner adversely affecting the priority status of the Revolving Obligations; and 
 (ix) no such change, waiver,
discharge or termination shall, without the consent of the Required Revolving Lenders and the Required Term Lenders, amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 8.03, Section 10.22 or Section 10.23. 

(b) If, in connection with any proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination of any of the provisions of this Agreement as
contemplated by clauses (i) through (vii), inclusive, of Section 10.12(a), the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained but the consent of one or more of such other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained, then the Borrowers
shall have the right to replace each such non-consenting Lender or Lenders with one or more Replacement Lenders pursuant to Section 2.11 so long as at the time of such replacement, each such Replacement Lender consents to the proposed change,
waiver, discharge or termination, provided that in any event the Borrowers shall not have the right to replace a Lender or repay its Loans solely as a result of the exercise of such Lender’s rights (and the withholding of any required
consent by such Lender) pursuant to Section 10.12(a)(iv). 
 (c) Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, no consent with
respect to any waiver, amendment or other modification of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be required of any Defaulting Lender, except with respect to any waiver, amendment or other modification referred to in clause (iii)(a) of
Section 10.12(a) and then only in the event such Defaulting Lender shall be affected by such waiver, amendment or other modification 

10.13. Survival. All indemnities set forth herein including in Sections 2.08, 2.09, 4.08, 9.06 and 10.01 shall survive the
execution, delivery and termination of this Agreement and the Notes and the making and repayment of the Loan Document Obligations. 
 10.14.
Domicile of Loans. Each Lender may transfer and carry its Loans at, to or for the account of any office, Subsidiary or Affiliate of such Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, to the extent that a transfer of Loans
pursuant to this Section 10.14 would, at the time of such transfer, result in increased costs under Section 2.08 or 4.08 in excess of those being charged by the respective Lender immediately prior to such transfer, then the Borrowers shall
not be obligated to pay such increased costs to the extent of such excess (although the Borrowers shall be obligated to pay any other increased costs of the type described above resulting from changes after the date of the respective transfer). 


  
 148 








 10.15. Register. The Borrowers hereby designate the Administrative Agent to serve as their
non-fiduciary agent, solely for purposes of this Section 10.15, to maintain a register (the “Register”) on which it will record the Commitments of each of the Lenders, the Loans made by each of the Lenders, the principal amount
(and stated interest) of such Loans, and each repayment in respect of the principal amount of the Loans of each Lender. Failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect the Borrowers’ obligations in
respect of such Loans. With respect to any Lender, the transfer of the Commitments of such Lender and the rights to the principal of, and interest on, any Loan made pursuant to such Commitments shall not be effective until such transfer is recorded
on the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent with respect to ownership of such Commitments and Loans and prior to such recordation all amounts owing to the transferor with respect to such Commitments and Loans shall remain owing to the
transferor. The registration of assignment or transfer of all or part of any Commitments and Loans shall be recorded by the Administrative Agent on the Register only upon the acceptance by the Administrative Agent of a properly executed and
delivered Assignment and Assumption Agreement pursuant to Section 10.04(b). Coincident with the delivery of such an Assignment and Assumption Agreement to the Administrative Agent for acceptance and registration of assignment or transfer of all
or part of a Loan, or as soon thereafter as practicable, the assigning or transferor Lender shall surrender the Note (if any) evidencing such Loan, and thereupon one or more new Notes in the same aggregate principal amount shall be issued to the
assigning or transferor Lender and/or the new Lender at the request of any such Lender. 
 10.16. Confidentiality. Each of the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective managers,
administrators, trustees, partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and other representatives who need to know such Information in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions (it being understood that the Persons to whom
such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority having jurisdiction over it (including any
self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) pursuant to the order of any court or administrative agency or in any pending legal or administrative proceeding, or otherwise as required by
applicable law or compulsory legal process (in which case such person, to the extent permitted by law, agrees to inform the Borrowers promptly thereof), (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies
hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially
the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or participant in, or any prospective assignee of or participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective party (or its managers,
administrators, trustees, partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and other representatives) to any swap, derivative or other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to the Borrowers and their obligations,
this Agreement or payments hereunder, (iii) any rating agency, or (iv) the CUSIP 

  
 149 








 
Service Bureau or any similar organization, (g) with the consent of the Borrowers or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a
breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrowers. 

For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrowers or any of their respective
Subsidiaries relating to the Borrowers or any of their respective Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to
disclosure by the Borrowers or any of their respective Subsidiaries. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has
exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. 

10.17. [Reserved]. 
 10.18.
Currency Conversion Shortfall. 
 (a) If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to
convert a sum due hereunder or under any other Loan Document in Dollars into another currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which, in accordance with normal, reasonable banking procedures, the Administrative Agent could purchase
Dollars with such other currency in New York City on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. 
 (b)
The Loan Document Obligations of the Loan Parties in respect of any sum due to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency other than Dollars, be discharged only
to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any sum adjudged to be so due in such currency, the Administrative Agent may, in accordance with normal, reasonable banking procedures, purchase Dollars with
such other currency. If the amount of Dollars so purchased is less than the sum originally due, in Dollars, the Borrowers agree, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to
indemnify the Administrative Agent or the Person to whom such Loan Document Obligation was owing against such loss. If the amount of Dollars so purchased is greater than the sum originally due, the Administrative Agent agrees to return the amount of
any excess to the Borrowers (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable law). 
 10.19. Releases. Without
further written consent or authorization from any Lender Creditor, the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, is authorized by the Lenders to, and shall, at the Borrowers’ reasonable request and sole expense, execute any
documents or instruments necessary in connection with an Asset Sale or other sale or disposition, in each case permitted by this Agreement to, (a) release any Lien encumbering any item of Collateral that is the subject of such Asset Sale or
other sale or disposition permitted by this 

  
 150 








 
Agreement or with respect to which Required Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such consent under Section 10.12) have otherwise consented or (b) release any
Guarantor that is the subject of such Asset Sale or other sale or disposition permitted by this Agreement from its obligations under the Loan Documents or with respect to which Required Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such
consent under Section 10.12) have otherwise consented. 
 10.20. Release of Guarantees. The Loan Guarantee of a Guarantor (other
than Capricorn Holdings, except pursuant to clause (c) below) shall be automatically released: 
 (a) in connection with
any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of that Guarantor (including by way of merger, consolidation or amalgamation) to a Person that is not (either immediately before or after giving effect to such transaction) a
Borrower or a Guarantor, if the sale or other disposition does not violate Section 7.22 and Section 7.14, as applicable, and complies with the Loan Documents; 

(b) in connection with any sale or other disposition of Capital Stock of such Guarantor following which such Guarantor is no
longer a Subsidiary, if the sale or other disposition does not violate Section 7.22 and Section 7.14, as applicable, and complies with the Loan Documents; 

(c) when all the Secured Obligations have been paid in full and the Lenders have no further commitment to extend credit
hereunder; or 
 (d) unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, upon the dissolution or liquidation of the
Guarantor in compliance with Section 7.14. 
 Upon any release of the Loan Guarantee of a Guarantor pursuant to this Section 10.20, any Lien
encumbering any item of Collateral owned by such Guarantor shall automatically be released, any Lien encumbering any Capital Stock of such Guarantor shall automatically be released, and the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as
applicable, is authorized by the Lenders to, and shall, upon the reasonable request, and at the sole expense, of the Borrowers, execute any documents or instruments necessary to, effect the release of such Loan Guarantee and the release of any Lien
encumbering such item of Collateral. 
 10.21. Keepwell. Each of the Guarantors and the Borrowers that is not an Excluded Swap
Guarantor at the time the Loan Guarantee or the grant of the security interest under the Collateral Agreements, in each case, by any Loan Party, becomes effective with respect to any Swap Obligation, hereby jointly and severally, absolutely,
unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support to each Loan Party with respect to such Swap Obligation as may be needed by such Loan Party from time to time to honor all of its obligations under its Loan Guarantee
and the other Loan Documents in respect of such Swap Obligation (but, in each case, only up to the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering such Loan Party’s obligations and undertakings under the Loan
Guarantee voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations and undertakings of each such Loan 

  
 151 








 
Party under this Section shall remain in full force and effect until the Secured Obligations have been paid in full. Each such Loan Party intends this Section to constitute, and this Section
shall be deemed to constitute, a guarantee of the obligations of, and a “support or other agreement” for the benefit of, each Loan Party for all purposes of §1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act. 

10.22. 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 or the agreements in respect of Secured Hedging Obligations (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; provided, however, that on and after the Initial Revolving Maturity Date, if the Revolving Obligations have not been paid in full in cash, the Required Revolving Lenders shall be permitted (without the consent
of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders) to take or institute a judicial action or proceeding against the Borrowers for the repayment in full of any Revolving Obligations (it being understood, however, for the avoidance of doubt, that
actions, proceedings or remedial procedures with respect to any Collateral or the enforcement thereon shall only be undertaken with the consent of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders). The provisions of this Section 10.22 are for
the sole benefit of the Lenders and shall not afford any right to, or constitute a defense available to, any Loan Party. 
 10.23.
Relative Rights of Secured Parties. 
 (a) Enforcement of Remedies. Anything to the contrary in any of the Loan
Documents notwithstanding, the parties hereto (and each other Secured Party) hereby agree that no Secured Party (other than the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent) shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or
to enforce any Loan Guarantee, it being understood and agreed that, except as provided in the last sentence of Section 10.22, all powers, rights and remedies under or with respect to the Loan Documents or the amounts due thereunder may be
exercised solely by the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent (or their applicable designees or sub-agents) on behalf of the Secured Parties as the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may be directed by the Required Lenders and in
accordance with the terms hereof and thereof and applicable law. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, if directed by the Required Lenders, each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent is
hereby irrevocably authorized to release any Liens created under any Loan Document and to release any Loan Guarantee, in each case in connection with the exercise of remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document so long as such release applies
to all of the Loans and any proceeds thereof are shared in accordance with Section 8.02. If so directed by the Required Lenders, each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized to exercise any remedies
hereunder or under any other Loan Document in accordance with the terms of the applicable Loan Document and applicable law. No Secured Party (other than the Collateral Agent) shall instruct the Collateral Agent to commence any judicial or
nonjudicial foreclosure proceedings with respect to, seek to have a trustee, receiver, 

  
 152 








 
liquidator or similar official appointed for or over, attempt any action to take possession of, exercise any right, remedy or power with respect to, or otherwise take any action to enforce its
security interest in or realize upon, or take any other action available to it in respect of, any Collateral, whether under any Loan Document, applicable law or otherwise, it being agreed that only the Collateral Agent, acting at the direction of
the Required Lenders or as otherwise authorized herein, shall be entitled to take any such actions or exercise any remedies with respect to any Collateral at such time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if so directed by the Required Lenders, each of
the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent is irrevocably authorized, in connection with an Event of Default under Section 8.01 resulting from the failure to pay Secured Obligations owing to the Lenders, to sue for payment of, or to
initiate any suit, action or proceedings against any Loan Party to enforce payment of or to collect such Secured Obligations. 

(b) Objection to Enforcement Actions. No Secured Party (other than the Collateral Agent) will contest, protest or object
to any foreclosure proceeding or action brought by the Collateral Agent (at the direction of the Required Lenders or as otherwise authorized under the Loan Documents) or any other exercise by the Collateral Agent of any rights or remedies relating
to the Collateral. 
 (c) Credit Bidding. The Collateral Agent (at the direction of the Required Lenders) shall have
the exclusive right on behalf of all Secured Parties in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding to credit bid for the Collateral using all or a pro rata portion of the Secured Obligations as consideration so long as the equity and/or assets
distributed to the Secured Parties as a result of an successful credit bid, or any proceeds thereof, are distributed in accordance with Section 8.02. In any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or other transaction involving the sale or other
disposition of Collateral, except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, no Secured Party (other than the Collateral Agent) may credit bid for Collateral. 

(d) No Interference; Payment Over. Each Secured Party (other than the Collateral Agent) agrees that (i) it will not
(and hereby waives any right to) challenge or question in any proceeding the validity or enforceability of any Secured Obligations of any Class or any Loan Document or the validity, attachment, perfection or priority of any Lien under any Loan
Document or the validity or enforceability of the priorities, rights or duties established by or other provisions of this Agreement; (ii) it will not take or cause to be taken any action the purpose or intent of which is, or could be, to
interfere, hinder or delay, in any manner, whether by judicial proceedings or otherwise, any sale, transfer or other disposition of the Collateral or other exercise of remedies by the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders
or as otherwise authorized under the Loan Documents); (iii) it will not institute any suit or assert in any suit, bankruptcy, insolvency or other proceeding any claim against the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party seeking damages from
or other relief by way of specific performance, instructions or otherwise with respect to any Collateral, and none of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Collateral Agent
(at the direction of the Required Lenders or as otherwise authorized under the Loan Documents) with respect to any Collateral in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement; and (iv) it will not attempt, directly or indirectly, whether by
judicial proceedings or otherwise, to challenge the enforceability of any provision of this Section 10.23. 

  
 153 








 (e) DIP Financing. If any Loan Party shall become subject to a case (a
“Bankruptcy Case”) under any Debtor Relief Law and shall, as debtor(s)-in-possession, move for approval of financing (“DIP Financing”) to be provided by one or more lenders (the “DIP Lenders”) under
Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or the use of cash collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, and such motion has the consent of the Required Lenders, each Lender agrees that it will raise no objection to any such financing or
to the Liens on the Collateral securing the same (“DIP Financing Liens”) or to any use of cash collateral that constitutes Collateral so long as (A) the Secured Parties of each class retain the benefit of their Liens on all
such Collateral pledged to the DIP Lenders, including proceeds thereof arising after the commencement of such proceeding, with the same priority vis-à-vis all the other Secured Parties (other than any Liens of the Secured Parties constituting
DIP Financing Liens) as existed prior to the commencement of the Bankruptcy Case (giving effect to the payment priorities set forth in Section 8.02), (B) the Secured Parties of each class are granted Liens on any additional collateral
pledged to any other Secured Parties as adequate protection or otherwise in connection with such DIP Financing or use of cash collateral, with the same priority vis-à-vis the Secured Parties as set forth in this Agreement (giving effect to
the payment priorities set forth in Section 8.02), (C) if any amount of such DIP Financing or cash collateral is applied to repay any of the Secured Obligations, such amount is applied pursuant to Section 8.02, (D) no Secured
Party of any class is granted a DIP Financing Lien as part of a “roll up” of its Secured Obligations in any such DIP Financing unless all Secured Parties are provided the opportunity to participate pro rata in any such DIP Financing
involving a “roll up” of Obligations and that such “roll up” is provided on a pro rata basis; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, any such opportunity to participate in any such “roll
up” shall be provided first to Revolving Lenders only and (E) if any Secured Parties are granted adequate protection, including in the form of periodic payments, in connection with such DIP Financing or use of cash collateral, the proceeds
of such adequate protection are applied pursuant to Section 8.02; provided that the Secured Parties receiving adequate protection shall not object to any other Secured Party receiving adequate protection comparable to any adequate
protection granted to such Secured Parties in connection with a DIP Financing or use of cash collateral. 
 (f)
363-Sales. In any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, none of the Secured Parties shall be entitled to oppose (or shall oppose) (i) any sale or disposition of any assets of any of the Loan Parties or (ii) any procedure governing
the sale or disposition of any assets of any of the Loan Parties, in each case that has the consent of the Required Lenders, and the Secured Parties will be deemed to have consented under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code to any sale, and any
procedure for sale (and in each case any motion in support hereof), to which the Required Lenders have consented. 
 (g)
Plans of Reorganization. Each Secured Party agrees that it shall not be entitled (i) to take any action or vote in any way that supports any Non-Conforming Plan of Reorganization or (ii) to object to a Plan of Reorganization to
which the Required 

  
 154 








 
Lenders have consented on the grounds that any sale of Collateral thereunder or pursuant thereto is for inadequate consideration, or that the sale process in respect thereof was inadequate.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing or of the other provisions of this Agreement, any vote to accept, and any other act to support the confirmation or approval of, any Non-Conforming Plan of Reorganization by any Secured Party, in such
capacity, shall be inconsistent with and accordingly, a violation of the terms of this Agreement, and the Collateral Agent shall be entitled (and hereby authorized by the Lenders) to have any such vote to accept a Non-Conforming Plan of
Reorganization changed and any such support of any such Non-Conforming Plan of Reorganization withdrawn. 
 (h) Sponsoring
of Plans of Reorganization. None of the Lenders, in such capacity, will sponsor any Plan of Reorganization that does not contemplate the payment in full, in cash of the Revolving Obligations upon the effective date of such Plan of
Reorganization, unless the Required Revolving Lenders shall have otherwise consented in writing. 
 10.24. Revolving Obligations Payment
Priority. EACH LENDER WITH OUTSTANDING TERM LOANS ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE REVOLVING OBLIGATIONS (INCLUDING OUTSTANDING REVOLVING LOANS) ARE ENTITLED TO DISTRIBUTIONS PURSUANT TO SECTION 8.02 (INCLUDING DISTRIBUTIONS PURSUANT TO AN
INSOLVENCY OR LIQUIDATION PROCEEDINGS) PRIOR TO ANY DISTRIBUTIONS BEING APPLIED TO THE OBLIGATIONS IN RESPECT OF OUTSTANDING TERM LOANS. 

10.25. USA PATRIOT Act Notice. Each Lender that is subject to the PATRIOT Act and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf
of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrowers that, pursuant to the requirements of the PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrowers, which information includes the name and address of the
Borrowers and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the Borrowers in accordance with the PATRIOT Act. The Borrowers shall, promptly following a request by the Administrative Agent or
any Lender, provide all documentation and other information that the Administrative Agent or such Lender requests in order to comply with its ongoing obligations under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money-laundering rules and
regulations, including the PATRIOT Act. 
 10.26. No Fiduciary Relationship. 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 Borrowers acknowledge and agree, and acknowledge their respective Affiliates’ understanding, that:
(a) (i) no fiduciary, advisory or agency relationship between the Borrowers and their respective Subsidiaries and any Agent or any Lender is intended to be or has been created in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby or by the
other Loan Documents, irrespective of whether any Agent or any Lender has advised or is advising the Borrowers or any such Subsidiary on other matters, (ii) the arranging 

  
 155 








 
and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Agents and the Lenders are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Borrowers and their respective Affiliates, on the one
hand, and the Agents and the Lenders, on the other hand, (iii) the Borrowers have consulted their own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent that they have deemed appropriate and (iv) the Borrowers are capable of
evaluating, and understand and accept, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; and (b) (i) the Agents and the Lenders each 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 agent or fiduciary for the Borrowers or any of their respective Affiliates, or any other Person; (ii) none of the Agents and the
Lenders has any obligation to the Borrowers or any of their respective Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (iii) the Agents and
the Lenders and their respective Affiliates may be engaged, for their own accounts or the accounts of customers, in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrowers and their respective Affiliates, and
none of the Agents and the Lenders has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to the Borrowers or their respective Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by Law, the Borrowers hereby waive and release any claims that they may have
against the Agents and the Lenders with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.

 EXHIBIT A 

[FORM OF] ASSIGNMENT AND ASSUMPTION AGREEMENT 

This Assignment and Assumption Agreement (this “Assignment and Assumption”) is dated as of the Effective Date set forth below
and is entered into by and between the Assignor (as defined below) and the Assignee (as defined below). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Credit Agreement identified below (the “Credit
Agreement”), receipt of a copy of which is hereby acknowledged by the Assignee. The Standard Terms and Conditions set forth in Annex I attached hereto are hereby agreed to and incorporated herein by reference and made a part of this
Assignment and Assumption as if set forth herein in full. 
 For an agreed consideration, the Assignor hereby irrevocably sells and assigns
to the Assignee, and the Assignee hereby irrevocably purchases and assumes from the Assignor, subject to and in accordance with the Standard Terms and Conditions referred to below and the Credit Agreement, as of the Effective Date inserted by the
Administrative Agent as contemplated below, (a) all the Assignor’s rights and obligations in its capacity as a Lender under the Credit Agreement and any other documents or instruments delivered pursuant thereto to the extent related to the
amount and percentage interest identified below of all of such outstanding rights and obligations of the Assignor under the respective facilities identified below (including any Loan Guarantees included in such facilities) and (b) to the extent
