Request in substantially the form of Exhibit B-2 and signed by the Borrowers. Each such telephonic and written Borrowing Request shall specify the following information: 

(i) the aggregate amount of the requested Borrowing; 

(ii) the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day; 

(iii) whether such Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing; 

(iv) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto, which shall be a period
contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”; and 
 (v) the location and number
of the Borrowers’ account to which funds are to be disbursed. 
 If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified, then the requested
Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Eurodollar Borrowing, then the Borrowers shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. Each Borrowing Request
shall constitute a representation to the Administrative Agent that the amount of the requested Borrowing shall not cause the total Credit Exposures to exceed the total Commitments. 
 Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section 2.03, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such
Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing.

 Section 2.04 Interest Elections. 

(a) Conversion and Continuance. Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in
the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrowers may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a
Eurodollar Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section 2.04. The Borrowers may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be
allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. 
 (b) Interest Election Requests. To make an election pursuant to this Section 2.04, the Borrowers shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a
Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrowers were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall
be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request in substantially the form of Exhibit C and signed by the Borrowers. 

(c) Information in Interest Election Requests. Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following
information: 
 (i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are
being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(iii) and (iv) shall be specified for
each resulting Borrowing); 
 (ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election
Request, which shall be a Business Day; 
 (iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a
Eurodollar Borrowing; and 
 (iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period to be
applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”. 
 (d) If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrowers shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one
month’s duration. 
 (e) Notice to Lenders by the Administrative Agent. Promptly following receipt of an Interest
Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing. 
 (f) Effect of Failure to Deliver Timely Interest Election Request and Events of Default. If the Borrowers fail to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurodollar Borrowing
prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision
hereof, if an Event of Default 

  
 -24-









 
has occurred and is continuing: (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing (and any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any
Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective) and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

 Section 2.05 Funding of Borrowings. 
 (a) Funding by Lenders. Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 1:00 p.m., Houston, Texas time,
to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrowers by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like
funds, to an account of the Borrowers maintained with the Administrative Agent in Houston, Texas and designated by the Borrowers in the applicable Borrowing Request; provided that ABR Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an LC
Disbursement as provided in Section 2.08(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Issuing Lender. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for its Loan in any particular place or manner or to
constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for its Loan in any particular place or manner. 
 (b) Presumption of Funding by the Lenders. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make
available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such Applicable Percentage available on such date in accordance with Section 2.05(a)
and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrowers a corresponding amount. In such event, if such Lender has not in fact made its Applicable Percentage of the applicable Borrowing available to Administrative Agent, then the
applicable Lender and the Borrowers severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrowers to
but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate for the first three (3) Business Days after the date such payment is required,
and thereafter at the rate then applicable to Borrowers or (ii) in the case of the Borrowers, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such
Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. 
 Section 2.06 Termination and Reduction of Commitments. 

(a) Scheduled Termination of Commitments. Unless previously terminated, the Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date.

 (b) Optional Termination and Reduction of Commitments. 

(i) The Borrowers may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Commitments; provided that
(A) each reduction of the Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $100,000 and not less than $1,000,000 and (B) the Borrowers shall not terminate or reduce the Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent
prepayment of the Loans in accordance with Section 3.04(c), the total Credit Exposures would exceed the total Commitments. 

  
 -25-









 (ii) The Borrowers shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to
terminate or reduce the Commitments under Section 2.06(b)(i) at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of
any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrowers pursuant to this Section 2.06(b)(ii) shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the
Commitments delivered by the Borrowers may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, 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 shall be permanent and may not be reinstated. Each reduction of the Commitments shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with
each Lender’s Applicable Percentage; provided that if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender at such time as the Borrowers elect to terminate or reduce the Commitments hereunder, the Borrowers may (in their discretion) apply all or any portion of
the Commitments to be reduced, to the Commitment of any one or more Defaulting Lenders specified by the Borrowers before applying any remaining reduction to all Lenders. 
 (c) Mandatory Reduction of Commitments. In the event that the fair market value of the total Vessel Collateral at any time, based on the most recent Appraisal, is not greater than or equal to two
hundred percent (200%) of the Commitments from time to time in effect as required by Section 8.16, and the failure to meet such requirement is not remedied by the taking of any such action provided therein or within sixty (60) days in
any event, then the Commitments shall be reduced to such amount as will permit the Borrowers to comply with Section 8.16. 

Section 2.07 Reserved. 
 Section 2.08 Letters of Credit. 
 (a) General. Subject to the terms
and conditions set forth herein, the Borrowers may request, and the Issuing Lender shall cause, the issuance of dollar denominated Letters of Credit for either Borrower’s own account or for the account of any of the Subsidiaries, in a form
reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lender, at any time and from time to time during the Availability Period. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and
conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the Borrowers to, or entered into by the Borrowers with, the Issuing Lender relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall
control. 
 (b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions. To request the issuance of a Letter
of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Borrowers shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the Issuing Lender) to
the Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent (not less than five (5) Business Days in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice: 

(i) requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended;

 (ii) specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day);


  
 -26-









 (iii) specifying the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which
shall comply with Section 2.08(c)); 
 (iv) specifying the amount of such Letter of Credit; and 

(v) specifying the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to
prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. 
 Each notice shall constitute a representation that after giving effect to the requested
issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, as applicable, (A) the LC Exposure shall not exceed the LC Commitment and (B) the total Credit Exposures shall not exceed the total Commitments. 

If requested by the Issuing Lender, the Borrowers also shall submit a letter of credit application on the Issuing Lender’s standard form in
connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. 
 (c) Expiration Date. Unless an earlier date is specified in
Borrower’s request for a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the date two years after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension
thereof, one year after such renewal or extension); provided that no Letter of Credit may have an expiration date later than the Maturity Date unless such Letter of Credit is cash collateralized to the satisfaction of the Administrative Agent
or a backup letter of credit from a financial institution satisfactory to the Administrative Agent is delivered to the Administrative Agent in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the corresponding amount of such unexpired Letter of Credit.

 (d) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount
thereof) and without any further action on the part of the Issuing Lender or the Lenders, the Issuing Lender hereby grants to each Lender, and each Lender hereby acquires from the Issuing Lender, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to
such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the
Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Lender, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by the Issuing Lender and not reimbursed by the Borrowers on the date due as provided in Section 2.08(e), or of
any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Borrowers for any reason. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this Section 2.08(d) in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute
and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that
each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. 
 (e) Reimbursement.
If the Issuing Lender shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrowers shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 12:00 noon,
Houston, Texas time, on the date that such LC Disbursement is made, if the Borrowers shall have received notice of such LC Disbursement prior to 11:00 a.m., Houston, Texas time, on such date, or, if such notice has not been received by the Borrowers
prior to such time on such date, then not later than 12:00 noon, Houston, Texas time, on the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrowers receive such notice, if such notice is not received prior to such time on the day of receipt;
provided that if such LC Disbursement is not less than $300,000, the Borrowers shall, subject to the conditions to Borrowing set forth herein, be deemed to have requested, and the Borrowers do hereby request under such circumstances, that
such payment be financed with an ABR Borrowing in an equivalent amount and, to 

  
 -27-









 
the extent so financed, the Borrowers’ obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Borrowing. If the Borrowers fail to make such payment when due,
the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrowers in respect thereof and such Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each
Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Applicable Percentage of the payment then due from the Borrowers, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.05(a) with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.05(a) shall
apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuing Lender the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any
payment from the Borrowers pursuant to this Section 2.08(e), the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the Issuing Lender or, to the extent that Lenders have made payments pursuant to this Section 2.08(e) to reimburse the
Issuing Lender, then to such Lenders and the Issuing Lender as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Lender pursuant to this Section 2.08(e) to reimburse the Issuing Lender for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of ABR
Loans as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrowers of their obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement. 
 (f) Obligations Absolute. The Borrowers’ obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in Section 2.08(e) shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed
strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit, any Letter of Credit Agreement or this Agreement, or any
term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by
the Issuing Lender under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit or any Letter of Credit Agreement, or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever,
whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.08(f), constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrowers’ obligations hereunder. Neither
the Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor the Issuing Lender, nor any of their Related Parties shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure
to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or
relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Lender; provided that the
foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing Lender from liability to the Borrowers to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrowers to the extent
permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrowers that are caused by the Issuing Lender’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The
parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Lender (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), the Issuing Lender shall be deemed to have exercised all
requisite care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the
terms of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to
accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit. 

  
 -28-









 (g) Disbursement Procedures. The Issuing Lender shall, promptly following its receipt
thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. The Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such demand for payment
and whether the Issuing Lender has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrowers of their obligation to reimburse the Issuing Lender and the
Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement. 
 (h) Interim Interest. If the Issuing Lender shall make any LC
Disbursement, then, until the Borrowers shall have reimbursed the Issuing Lender for such LC Disbursement (either with its own funds or a Borrowing under Section 2.08(e)), the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and
including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Borrowers reimburse such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Loans. Interest accrued pursuant to this Section 2.08(h) shall be for the
account of the Issuing Lender, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Lender pursuant to Section 2.08(e) to reimburse the Issuing Lender shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.

 (i) Replacement of the Issuing Lender. The Issuing Lender may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the
Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Lender and the successor Issuing Lender. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of the Issuing Lender. At the time any such replacement shall become
effective, the Borrowers shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3.05(b). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Lender shall have
all the rights and obligations of the Issuing Lender under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Lender” shall be deemed to refer to such
successor or to any previous Issuing Lender, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Lenders, as the context shall require. After the replacement of the Issuing Lender hereunder, the replaced Issuing Lender shall remain a party hereto and
shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of the Issuing Lender under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit. 

(j) Cash Collateralization. If (i) any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and the Borrowers receive notice from
the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this Section 2.08(j), (ii) the Borrowers are required to pay to the Administrative Agent the excess attributable to an LC Exposure in
connection with any prepayment pursuant to Section 3.04(c) or (iii) the Borrowers are required to cash collateralize a Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure pursuant to Sections 2.13(a) or (b), then the Borrowers shall deposit, in an
account with the Administrative Agent designated for such purpose, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders, an amount in cash equal to, in the case of an Event of Default, the LC Exposure, in the case of a payment
required by Section 3.04(c), the amount of such excess as provided in Section 3.04(c), as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon and in the case of a payment required by Sections 2.13(a) or (b), the amount of such
Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon
the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Borrowers or any Guarantor described in Section 10.01(h) or Section 10.01(i). The Borrowers hereby grant to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Lender and the
Lenders, an exclusive first priority and continuing perfected security interest in and Lien on such account and all cash, checks, drafts, certificates and instruments, if any, from time to time deposited or held in such account, all deposits or wire
transfers made thereto, any and all investments purchased with funds deposited in such account, all interest, dividends, cash, instruments, 

  
 -29-









 
financial assets and other Property from time to time received, receivable or otherwise payable in respect of, or in exchange for, any or all of the foregoing, and all proceeds, products,
accessions, rents, profits, income and benefits therefrom, and any substitutions and replacements therefor. The Borrowers’ obligation to deposit amounts pursuant to this Section 2.08(j) shall be absolute and unconditional, without regard
to whether any beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit has attempted to draw down all or a portion of such amount under the terms of a Letter of Credit, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, shall not be subject to any defense or
be affected by a right of set-off, counterclaim or recoupment which the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries may now or hereafter have against any such beneficiary, the Issuing Lender, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or any other Person for
any reason whatsoever. Such deposit of the amount required by this Section 2.08(j) shall be held as collateral securing the payment and performance of the Borrowers’ and the Guarantors’ obligations under this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over the amount deposited as required by this Section 2.08(j). Other than any interest earned on the investment of
such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the Borrowers’ risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall
accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent, subject to Section 10.02(c), to reimburse the Issuing Lender for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so
applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrowers for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Borrowers and the
Guarantors under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. If the Borrowers are required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, and the Borrowers are not otherwise required to pay to
the Administrative Agent the excess attributable to an LC Exposure in connection with any prepayment pursuant to Section 3.04(c), then such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrowers within three
(3) Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived. 
 Section 2.09 Swing Line Loans.

 (a) The Swing Line. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swing Line Lender agrees to make loans
(each such loan, a “Swing Line Loan”) to Borrowers from time to time on any Business Day during the Availability Period in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of the Swing Line Sublimit; provided,
however, that after giving effect to any Swing Line Loan, the sum of (i) the outstanding principal balance of all Loans plus (ii) the LC Exposure shall not exceed the total Commitments; provided further that the Swing Line
Lender shall not be required to make a Swing Line Loan to refinance an outstanding Swing Line Loan. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrowers may borrow under this Section 2.09, prepay
under Section 3.04, and reborrow under this Section 2.09. Immediately upon the making of a Swing Line Loan, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Swing Line Lender a risk
participation in such Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage times the amount of such Swing Line Loan. 
 (b) Borrowing Procedures. Each Swing Line Loan shall be made upon the Borrowers’ irrevocable notice to the Swing Line Lender and Administrative Agent (a “Swing Line Loan
Notice”), which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. Houston, Texas time on the requested borrowing date, and shall specify (i) the
amount to be borrowed and (ii) the requested borrowing date, which shall be a Business Day. The Borrowers shall pay to the Swing Line Lender the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Swing Line Loans on the last Business Day of each
calendar month 

  
 -30-









 
(which payment may be made with a Loan as provided in Section 2.09(c)(i) below) (the “Repayment Date”), which Repayment Date shall in no event be later than the Maturity
Date. Each such telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent of a written Swing Line Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer. Promptly after receipt
by the Swing Line Lender of any telephonic Swing Line Loan Notice, the Swing Line Lender will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has also received such Swing Line Loan Notice and, if not,
the Swing Line Lender will notify the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof. Unless the Swing Line Lender has received notice (by telephone or in writing) from the Administrative Agent (including at the request of
any Lender) prior to 11:00 a.m. Houston, Texas time on the date of the proposed Swing Line Loan (A) directing the Swing Line Lender not to make such Swing Line Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in the proviso to the first sentence
of Section 2.09(a), or (B) that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 6.01 hereof is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lender will, promptly on the borrowing
date specified in such Swing Line Loan Notice, make the amount of its Swing Line Loan available to the Borrowers. 
 (c)
Refinancing of Swing Line Loans. 
 (i) The Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole and absolute
discretion may request, on behalf of the Borrowers (which hereby irrevocably authorizes the Swing Line Lender to so request on its behalf), that each Lender make a Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the amount of
the Swing Line Loans then outstanding. Such request shall be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a “Request for Advance” for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.03,
without regard to the minimum and multiples specified therein for the principal amount of Loans, but subject to the unutilized portion of the total Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 6.01. The Swing Line Lender shall furnish
the Borrowers with a copy of the applicable Request for Advance promptly after delivering such notice to the Administrative Agent. Each Lender shall make an amount equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the amount specified in such
Request for Advance available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds for the account of the Swing Line Lender at the Administrative Agent’s office not later than 12:00 noon Houston, Texas time on the day specified in such
Request for Advance, whereupon subject to Section 2.09(c)(ii), each Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Loan to the Borrowers in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the
Swing Line Lender. 
 (ii) If for any reason any Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by such a Loan in
accordance with Section 2.09(c)(i), the Request for Advance submitted by the Swing Line Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by the Swing Line Lender that each Lender fund its risk participation in the relevant Swing Line
Loan and each Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 2.09(c)(i), shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation. 

(iii) If any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender any
amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.09(c) by the time specified in Section 2.09(c)(i), the Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the
Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Swing Line Lender at a rate per annum equal to the Federal
Funds Effective Rate for the first three (3) Business Days after the date such payment is required, and thereafter at the rate then applicable to the Borrowers. 

  
 -31-









 
A certificate of the Swing Line Lender submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (iii) shall be conclusive absent
manifest error. 
 (iv) Each Lender’s obligation to make Loans or to purchase and fund risk participations
in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this Section 2.09(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have
against the Swing Line Lender, the Borrowers or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of an Event of Default after the funding of a Swing Line Loan, (C) the funding of any Swing Line Loan during the
occurrence of an Event of Default if the Swing Line Lender was unaware of such Event of Default or (D) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. 

(d) Repayment of Participations. 
 (i) At any time after any Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in a Swing Line Loan, if the Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account of such Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Lender
will distribute to such Lender its Applicable Percentage of such payment (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s risk participation was funded) in the same funds as
those received by the Swing Line Lender. 
 (ii) If any payment received by the Swing Line Lender in respect of
principal or interest on any Swing Line Loan is required to be returned by the Swing Line Lender under any circumstance (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Swing Line Lender in its discretion), each Lender shall pay to the
Swing Line Lender its Applicable Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate. The
Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of the Swing Line Lender. The obligations of Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Indebtedness and the termination of this Agreement. 

(e) Interest for Account of Swing Line Lender. The Swing Line Lender shall be responsible for invoicing the Borrowers for interest
on the Swing Line Loans. Until each Lender funds its Loan or risk participation pursuant to Section 2.09 to refinance such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of any Swing Line Loan, interest in respect of such Applicable Percentage shall be
solely for the account of the Swing Line Lender. 
 (f) Payments Directly to Swing Line Lender. The Borrowers shall make
all payments of principal and interest in respect of the Swing Line Loans directly to the Swing Line Lender.

 -33-









 
required by Section 5.02): (A) the amount of the total Commitments shall be increased as set forth therein, and (B) in the case of an Additional Lender Certificate, any Additional
Lender party thereto shall become a party to this Agreement and have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. In addition, such Lender or such Additional Lender, as applicable, shall purchase a pro
rata portion of the outstanding Loans (and participation interests in Letters of Credit) of each of the other Lenders (and such Lenders hereby agree to sell and to take all such further action to effectuate such sale) such that each Lender

this Section 2.10(d). The Administrative Agent shall promptly provide a copy of the updated Annex I, or a copy of the updated Register, to the Parent Guarantor. 
 Section 2.11 Joint and Several Liability of the Borrowers. 
 (a) Each of the
Borrowers is accepting joint and several liability hereunder in consideration of the financial accommodation to be provided by the Lenders under this Agreement, for the mutual benefit, directly and indirectly, of each of the Borrowers and in
consideration of the undertakings of each of the Borrowers to accept joint and several liability for the obligations of each of them. 
 (b) Each of the Borrowers jointly and severally hereby irrevocably and unconditionally accepts, not merely as a surety but also as a co-debtor, joint and several liability with the other Borrower with
respect to the payment and performance of all of the obligations arising under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, it being the intention of the parties hereto that all of the obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall
be the joint and several obligations of each of the Borrowers without preferences or distinction between them.

made for the benefit of the Lenders and their successors and assigns and may be enforced by them from time to time against either of the Borrowers as often as occasion therefor may arise and without requirement on the part of the Lenders first to
marshall any of its claims or to exercise any of its rights against the other Borrower or to exhaust any remedies available to it against the other Borrower or to resort to any other source or means of obtaining payment of any of the obligations
hereunder or to elect any other remedy. The provisions of this Section 2.11 shall remain in effect until all the obligations hereunder shall have been paid in full or 

  
 -34-









 
otherwise fully satisfied. If at any time, any payment, or any part thereof, made in respect of any of the obligations, is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Lenders upon
the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any of the Borrowers, or otherwise, the provisions of this Section 2.11 will forthwith be reinstated and in effect as though such payment had not been made. 

(e) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, to the extent the obligations of
either Borrower shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason (including, without limitation, because of any applicable state or federal law relating to fraudulent conveyances or transfers) then the obligations of such Borrower
hereunder shall be limited to the maximum amount that is permissible under applicable law (whether federal or state and including, without limitation, Bankruptcy Law). 
 (f) Each Borrower hereby appoints the other Borrower to act as its agent for all purposes under this Agreement (including, without limitation, with respect to all matters relating to the borrowing,
conversion, continuance and repayment of Loans and the applications for the issuance, renewal, extensions or reissuance of a Letter of Credit) and agrees that (i) any notice or communication delivered by the Administrative Agent or a Lender to
a Borrower shall be deemed delivered to both Borrowers and (ii) the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may accept, and be permitted to rely on, any notice, document, instrument or agreement executed by one Borrower on behalf of the other
Borrower.

(a) requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 5.01 or 5.03, (b) fails to vote in favor of any measure requiring the affirmative vote of one hundred percent (100%) of the Lenders or (c) is a Defaulting

case may be, and (ix) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender. 

Section 2.13 Defaulting Lenders. 
 (a) Defaulting Lender Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer
a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law: 
 (i) Waivers and Amendments. Such
Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Required Lenders. 

  
 -35-









 (ii) Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest,
fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article X or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender
pursuant to Section 12.08 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder;
second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any Issuing Lender or Swing Line Lender hereunder; third, to cash collateralize the Issuing Lenders’ Fronting Exposure with respect to
such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 2.08(j); fourth, as the Borrowers may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund
its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to
(x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) cash collateralize the Issuing Lenders’ future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender
with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 2.08(j); sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders or Swing Line Lenders as a result of any judgment of
a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the Issuing Lenders or Swing Line Lenders against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long
as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrowers as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrowers against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting
Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of
any Loans or LC Disbursements in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in
Section 6.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and LC Disbursements owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or LC
Disbursements owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in LC Commitments and Swing Line Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments under the applicable
Facility without giving effect to Section 2.13(a)(iv). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant
to this Section 2.13(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto. 
 (iii) Certain Fees. 
 (A) No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive
any Commitment Fee for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender). 

(B) Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive fees for its participations in Letters of Credit for any period during which that
Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Applicable Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 2.08(j). 

  
 -36-









 (C) With respect to any Commitment Fee or Letter of Credit fee not required to be paid to
any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (A) or (B) above, the Borrowers shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting
Lender’s participation in LC Disbursements or Swing Line Loans that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv) below, (y) pay to each Issuing Lender and Swing Line Lender, as applicable, the amount of
any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such Issuing Lender’s or Swing Line Lender’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any
such fee 
 (iv) Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of such
Defaulting Lender’s participation in LC Disbursements and Swing Line Loans shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting
Lender’s Commitment) but only to the extent that (x) the conditions set forth in Section 6.02 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless the Borrowers shall have otherwise notified the Administrative Agent at such
time, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time), and (y) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Credit Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such
Non-Defaulting Lender’s Commitment. No reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim
of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation 
 (v) Cash Collateral, Repayment of Swing Line Loans. If the reallocation described in clause (iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrowers shall, without prejudice to any
right or remedy available to them hereunder or under law, (x) first, prepay Swing Line Loans in an amount equal to the Swing Line Lenders’ Fronting Exposure and (y) second, Cash Collateralize the Issuing Lenders’ Fronting
Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.08(j). 
 (b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the
Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and each Swing Line Lender and Issuing Lender agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date
specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any cash collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other
Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with
the Commitments under the applicable Facility (without giving effect to Section 2.13(a)(iv)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or
payments made by or on behalf of the 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. 
 (c) New Swing Line Loans/Letters of Credit. So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (i) the Swing Line Lender shall not be required to fund any Swing Line Loans unless it is satisfied
that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect to such Swing Line Loan and (ii) no Issuing Lender shall be required to issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting
Exposure after giving effect thereto.

 -38-









 (b) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate
or LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period; 

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrowers and the Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter
and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrowers and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of

the other Loans; provided that, if a notice of prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.06(b), then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice
of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.06(b), but the Borrowers shall be responsible for any break funding payments pursuant to Section 5.02. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Borrowing, the
Administrative Agent shall advise the applicable Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.03.
Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 3.02.

(200%) of the outstanding Credit Exposures of all Lenders within sixty (60) days of such Casualty Event, or if prior to the beginning of, or prior to the expiration of, such 60-day period an

Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in dollars. 
 (b) Application of Insufficient Payments. If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC
Disbursements, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees
then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed LC
Disbursements then due to such parties. 

  
 -41-









 (c) Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of
set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements and participation in Swing Line Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater
proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements or participation in Swing Line Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater
proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and participation in Swing Line Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be
shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and participation in Swing Line Loans; provided that (i) if any
such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the
provisions of this Section 4.01(c) shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrowers pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the
assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements or participation in Swing Line Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrowers or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which
the provisions of this Section 4.01(c) shall apply). The Borrowers consent to the foregoing and agree, to the extent they may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing
arrangements may exercise against the Borrowers rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrowers in the amount of such participation. 

Section 4.02 Presumption of Payment by the Borrowers. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrowers
prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing Lender or the Swing Line Lender that the Borrowers will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the
Borrowers have made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the Issuing Lender or the Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the
Borrowers have not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the Issuing Lender or the Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such
Lender or Issuing Lender or the Swing Line Lender with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds
Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. 
 Section 4.03 Certain Deductions by the Administrative Agent. If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.05(a), Section 2.08(d),
Section 2.08(e), Section 2.09(c) or Section 4.02 then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account
of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid. If at any time prior to the acceleration or maturity of the Loans, the Administrative Agent shall receive any payment
in respect of principal of a Loan or a reimbursement of an LC Disbursement while one or more Defaulting Lenders shall be party to this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall apply such payment first to the Borrowing(s) for which such Defaulting
Lender(s) shall have failed to fund its pro rata share until such time as such Borrowing(s) are paid in full or each Lender (including each Defaulting Lender) is owed its Applicable Percentage of all Loans then outstanding. After acceleration or
maturity of the Loans, all principal will be paid ratably as provided in Section 10.02(c).

 ARTICLE V 
 Increased Costs; Break Funding Payments; Taxes; Illegality 
 Section 5.01
Increased Costs. 
 (a) Eurodollar Changes in Law. If any Change in Law shall: 

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with
or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate); 
 (ii) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection
Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or 

(iii) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans
made by such Lender; 
 and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any
Eurodollar Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrowers will pay to such Lender such
additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. 
 (b)
Capital Requirements. If any Lender, the Swing Line Lender or the Issuing Lender determines that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s, Swing Line
Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s, the Swing Line Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by, or participations
in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Lender, to a level below that which such Lender, the Swing Line Lender or the Issuing Lender or such Lender’s, the Swing Line
Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s, the Swing Line Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s policies and the policies of such
Lender’s, the Swing Line Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrowers will pay to such Lender, the Swing Line Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may
be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, the Swing Line Lender or the Issuing Lender or such Lender’s, the Swing Line Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

 (c) Certificates. A certificate of a Lender, the Swing Line Lender or the Issuing Lender setting forth the amount or
amounts necessary to compensate such Lender, the Swing Line Lender or the Issuing Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in Section 5.01(a) or (b) shall be delivered to the Borrowers and shall be conclusive absent
manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender, the Swing Line Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof. 

(d) Effect of Failure or Delay in Requesting Compensation. Failure or delay on the part of any Lenders, the Swing Line Lender or
the Issuing Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 5.01 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s, the Swing Line Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the
Borrowers shall not be 

  
 -43-









 
required to compensate a Lender, the Swing Line Lender or the Issuing Lender pursuant to this Section 5.01 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date
that such Lender, the Swing Line Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Borrowers of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s, the Swing Line Lender’s or the Issuing
Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period
of retroactive effect thereof. 
 Section 5.02 Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any
principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan into an ABR Loan other than on the last day of the
Interest Period applicable thereto, or (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurodollar Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto, then, in any such event, the Borrowers shall compensate each Lender
requesting a reimbursement for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any,
of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, 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), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on
such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which 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 eurodollar market. 

A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 5.02 shall be
delivered to the Borrowers and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof. 

Section 5.03 Taxes. 
 (a) Issuing Lender. For the purposes of this Section 5.03, the term “Lender” includes any Issuing Lender. 
 (b) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of a Borrower 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 such Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient
receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made. 
 (c) Payment of
Other Taxes by the Borrowers. The Borrowers shall 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. 

  
 -44-









 (d) Indemnification by the Borrowers. The Borrowers shall indemnify the
Administrative Agent, each Lender, the Swing Line Lender and the Issuing Lender, within ten (10) days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender, the
Swing Line Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrowers hereunder (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to
amounts payable under this Section 5.03) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the
relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate of the Administrative Agent, a Lender, the Swing Line Lender or the Issuing Lender as to the amount of such payment or liability under this Section 5.03 shall be delivered to the Borrowers and
shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 (e) Indemnification by the Lenders. 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 the Borrowers have not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified
Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 12.04(f) 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 (e). 
 (f) Evidence of Payments. Upon request by
the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing any payment of Indemnified Taxes by the Borrowers or the Parent
Guarantor to a Governmental Authority, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 
 (g) Foreign Lenders. 
 (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an
exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the 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 withholding or at a reduced rate of 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. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of
such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 5.03(g)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such
Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. 

  
 -45-









 (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 this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrowers 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 this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request
of the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable: 
 (1) 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 establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S.
federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal
withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty; 
 (2)
executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI; 
 (3) in the case of a 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 a 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 
 (4) 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, 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 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 Borrowers 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 

  
 -46-









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

(h) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a
refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 5.03 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 5.03), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund
(but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest
paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (h) (plus any
penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph
(h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (h) 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 indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund 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. 
 (i)
Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 5.03 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments
and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document 
 Section 5.04 Mitigation
Obligations. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 5.01, or if the Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 5.03, then
such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of
such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 5.01 or Section 5.03, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost
or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. 

Section 5.05 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event that it becomes unlawful for any
Lender or its applicable lending office to honor its obligation to make or 

  
 -47-









 
maintain Eurodollar Loans either generally or having a particular Interest Period hereunder, then (a) such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent thereof and
such Lender’s obligation to make such Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended (the “Affected Loans”) until such time as such Lender may again make and maintain such Eurodollar Loans and (b) all Affected Loans which would
otherwise be made by such Lender shall be made instead as ABR Loans (and, if such Lender so requests by notice to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, all Affected Loans of such Lender then outstanding shall be automatically converted into
ABR Loans on the date specified by such Lender in such notice) and, to the extent that Affected Loans are so made as (or converted into) ABR Loans, all payments of principal which would otherwise be applied to such Lender’s Affected Loans shall
be applied instead to its ABR Loans.

 ARTICLE VII 
 Representations and Warranties 

The Parent Guarantor and the Borrowers jointly and severally represent and warrant to the Administrative Agent and each Lender that: 

  
 -50-









 Section 7.01 Organization; Powers. Each of the Parent Guarantor, the Borrowers and
each Subsidiary is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, has all requisite corporate or limited liability company power and authority, and has all material governmental
licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals necessary, to own its Property and to carry on its business as now conducted, and is qualified to do business in, and is in good standing in, every jurisdiction where such qualification is required,
except where failure to have such power, authority, licenses, authorizations, consents, approvals and qualifications could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

Section 7.02 Authority; Enforceability. The Transactions are within the Borrowers’ and each Guarantor’s limited

action necessary for the validity or enforceability of any Loan Document or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, except such as have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect other than the recording and filing of
the Security Instruments as required thereby or by this Agreement, (b) will not violate any applicable law or regulation or the Organizational Documents of the Borrowers, the Guarantors or any Subsidiary or any order of any Governmental

Subsidiary is in default nor has any event or circumstance occurred which, but for the expiration of any applicable grace period or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute a default under, or would require the Parent Guarantor, the Borrowers

where applicable, the Code regarding each Plan. 
 (b) Each Plan is, and has been, maintained in substantial compliance with

 (c) No act, omission or transaction has occurred which could result in imposition on
the Parent Guarantor, the Borrowers, any Subsidiary or any ERISA Affiliate (whether directly or indirectly) of (i) either a material civil penalty assessed pursuant to subsections (c), (i), (l) or (m) of section 502 of ERISA or a tax

disclosed in writing to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly furnish a copy to the Lenders), which shall be a supplement to Schedule 7.15, the Parent Guarantor has no Subsidiaries. The owner and percentage of ownership of each Subsidiary
is set forth on such schedule.

title to all of the Vessel Collateral, free and clear of all Liens except Liens permitted by clauses (a) through (c) of Section 9.03.

Effect. 
 (c) The Parent Guarantor, the Borrowers and each Subsidiary owns, or is licensed to use, all trademarks, tradenames,
copyrights, patents and other intellectual Property material to its business, and the use thereof by the Parent Guarantor, the Borrowers and such Subsidiary does not infringe upon the rights of any other Person, except for any such infringements

the Borrowers and the Subsidiaries either own or have valid licenses or other rights to use all databases, and other technical information used in their businesses as presently conducted, subject
to the limitations contained in the agreements governing the use of the same, which limitations are customary for companies engaged in its line of business, with such exceptions as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 Section 7.18 Reserved. 
 Section 7.19 Swap Agreements. As of the Effective Date, Schedule 7.19 sets forth a true and complete list of all Swap Agreements of the Borrowers and each Subsidiary, the material terms thereof

determination, (a) the aggregate assets (after giving effect to amounts that could reasonably be received by reason of indemnity, offset, insurance or any similar arrangement), at a fair valuation, of the Borrowers and the Guarantors, taken as
a whole, will exceed the aggregate Debt of the Borrowers and the Guarantors on a consolidated basis, as the Debt becomes absolute and matures, (b) each of the Borrowers and the Guarantors will not have incurred or intended to incur, and will
not believe that it will incur, Debt beyond its ability to pay such Debt (after taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be received by each of the Borrowers and the Guarantors and the amounts to be payable on or in respect of its

Section 8.07 Reserved. 
 Section 8.08 Insurance. (a) The Borrowers and the Guarantors shall cause the Administrative Agent to be named as loss payee, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, as to the Vessel Collateral
and as mortgagee and the Administrative Agent, as agent for the Lenders, to be named as an additional insured, with a waiver of rights of subrogation, under a marine and war-risk insurance policy, and the Administrative Agent, as agent for the
Lenders, to be named as an additional insured, with a waiver of rights of subrogation, under the comprehensive general liability insurance, statutory workers’ compensation insurance and longshoreman and harbor workers’ act coverage
policies. 
 (b) The Borrowers and the Guarantors may purchase such insurance from any insurance company or broker that is
acceptable to the Administrative Agent, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. All such insurance policies, including renewals and replacements, must also be in form and substance acceptable to the Administrative Agent, which approval
shall not be unreasonably withheld and must additionally contain a non-contributory loss payable endorsement in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, providing in part that (i) all proceeds under such
policies of insurance will, subject to the terms and conditions of subsection (f) below, be delivered directly to the Administrative Agent (payable as hereinafter provided) and (ii) no act or omission on the part of the Borrowers, or any
of their officers, agents, employees or representatives, nor breach of any warranty contained in such policies, shall affect the obligations of the insurer to pay the full amount of any loss to the Administrative Agent. Such policies of insurance
must also contain a provision prohibiting cancellation or the alteration of such insurance without at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent of such intended cancellation or alteration. The insurance
policies and insurers in effect on the Effective Date, as provided in advance to the Administrative Agent, are acceptable to the Administrative Agent. 
 (c) The Borrowers and the Guarantors agree to provide, or cause to be provided to, the Administrative Agent with originals or certified copies of such policies of insurance or certificates with respect
thereto. The Borrowers and the Guarantors further agree to promptly furnish the Administrative Agent with copies of all renewal notices and, if requested by the Administrative Agent, with copies of receipts for paid premiums. The Borrowers and the
Guarantors shall provide, or cause to be provided to, the Administrative Agent binders or such other proof acceptable to the Administrative Agent that renewal or replacement policies of insurance will be in effect before any such existing policy or
policies should expire. 
 (d) In the event the Borrowers and the Guarantors should, for any reason whatsoever, fail to cause any
insurance required hereunder or under the Security Instruments to be maintained as herein or therein provided, or to cause such policies to be and remain so assigned or payable as provided herein, or to cause to be delivered to the Administrative
Agent satisfactory evidence thereof, then the Administrative Agent, if it so elects, may itself have any such insurance effected in such amounts and in such companies as it may deem proper and may pay the premiums therefor and the Borrowers shall
reimburse the Administrative Agent (and the Lenders, if applicable) upon demand for the amount of the premiums paid, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date such premiums were paid by the Administrative Agent (or Lender, if
applicable) until reimbursed. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall not be responsible for the solvency of any company issuing any insurance policy, whether or not selected or approved by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, or for the
collection of any amounts due under any such policy, and shall be responsible and accountable only for such money as may be actually received by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders.

 (e) The Borrowers and the Guarantors agree to notify the Administrative Agent in writing
within thirty (30) days of any Casualty Event involving a Vessel (or any other vessel owned by either Borrower that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect), in each case whether or not such casualty or loss is covered by
insurance. The Borrowers and the Parent Guarantor further agree to promptly notify their insurance company and to submit an appropriate claim and proof of claim to the insurance company in the event that a Vessel or any other vessel owned by either
Borrower, is involved in a Casualty Event. As to the Vessel Collateral, the Administrative Agent may submit such a claim and proof of claim to the insurance company on the owner’s behalf, should the owner fail to do so promptly for any reason.
As to the Vessel Collateral, the Borrowers and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably appoint the Administrative Agent as its agent and attorney-in-fact, each such agency being coupled with an interest, to make, settle and adjust claims under such policy
or policies of insurance (regardless of whether a settlement or adjustment of a claim is an Event of Default) and to endorse the name of the Borrowers and the Guarantors on any check or other item of payment for the proceeds thereof; it being
understood, however, that unless one or more Defaults exist under this Agreement, the Administrative Agent will not settle or adjust any such claim without the prior approval of the Borrowers (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld).

 (f) The Borrowers and the Guarantors shall not declare or agree with underwriters that a Vessel is a constructive or
compromised, agreed or arranged constructive total loss without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders. The proceeds of all insurance covering Vessel Collateral shall be made payable to the owner of such
Vessel and the Administrative Agent jointly, and delivered to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent agrees to notify the applicable insurance carrier to make the insurance payment payable to and delivered to the Borrowers in connection
with a Casualty Event if after such Casualty Event either: (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and the fair market value of the Vessel Collateral is equal to or in excess of two hundred percent (200%) of the
outstanding Credit Exposures of all Lenders or (ii) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and the Borrowers have replaced the Vessel Collateral subject to the Casualty Event with one or more vessels of equivalent or greater
comparable fair market value, acceptable to the Administrative Agent in its sole and absolute discretion, and have provided to the Administrative Agent a first priority, perfected Lien subject only to Excepted Liens identified in clauses (a) to
(c) of Section 9.03 on such substitute Vessel Collateral. 
 (g) The Administrative Agent’s receipt of such
insurance proceeds and the application of such proceeds as provided herein shall not, however, affect the Administrative Agent’s Liens against the Vessels, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders. Other than in circumstances where insurance
proceeds relative to the loss of or damage to a Vessel are applied to the repayment of the Indebtedness or where the Borrowers or the Parent Guarantor have substituted one or more Vessels of equivalent or greater fair market value as Vessel
Collateral in compliance with Section 8.16 (without taking into account the Vessels damaged), nothing under this Section 8.08 shall be deemed to excuse the Borrowers from their obligations to promptly repair, replace or restore any lost or
damaged Vessel, whether or not the same is covered by insurance, whether or not such proceeds of insurance are available, and whether or not such proceeds are sufficient in amount to complete such repair, replacement or restoration, to the
satisfaction of the Administrative Agent. Furthermore, unless otherwise confirmed by the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders in writing, the application or release of any insurance proceeds by the Administrative Agent shall not be deemed
to cure or waive any Event of Default under this Agreement.

 (h) The Borrowers and the Guarantors, upon request of the Administrative Agent, shall
furnish, or cause to be furnished, to the Administrative Agent reports on each existing policy of insurance showing such information as the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders may request, including without limitation the following:
(i) the name of the insurer; (ii) the risks insured; (iii) the amount of the policy; (iv) the Property insured; (v) the then current value on the basis of which insurance has been obtained and the manner of determining that
value; and (vi) the expiration date of the policy. 
 Section 8.09 Accounts and Records. The Borrowers and the
Guarantors will keep books of record and accounts in which true and correct entries will be made as to all material matters of all dealings or transactions in relation to the respective business and activities, sufficient to permit reporting in
accordance with GAAP, consistently applied. 
 Section 8.10 Right of Inspection. (a) The Borrowers and the
Guarantors will permit any officer, employee or agent of the Administrative Agent, any Lender, the Surveyor, the United States Coast Guard or the American Bureau of Shipping to visit and inspect the Vessels, and to visit and inspect the other Vessel
Collateral, and (b) the Borrowers and the Guarantors will permit any officer, employee or agent of the Administrative Agent and (upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default) any Lender to examine the books of record and accounts
of the Borrowers and the Guarantors, take copies and extracts therefrom, and discuss the affairs, finances and accounts of the Borrowers and the Guarantors with their officers, accountants, counsel and auditors, all of the foregoing at such
reasonable times and on reasonable notice and without hindrance or delay and as often as the Administrative Agent, any Lender (if applicable), the Surveyor, the United States Coast Guard or the American Bureau of Shipping may reasonably desire.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, except following an Event of Default that has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent, any Lender and the Surveyor shall not visit or inspect the Vessels or other Vessel Collateral more frequently than
twice a year, individually or as a group, and then at their own expense, except that the Borrowers will be responsible for such expense following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, and provided that any such visits or
inspections shall occur when the applicable Vessel is shoreside at a location involved in the ordinary course of providing its services under its then applicable charter or other vessel service contract. 

Section 8.11 Maintenance of Properties. The Borrowers and the Guarantors shall maintain and preserve all of their respective
Properties (and any Property leased by or consigned to any of them or held under title retention or conditional sales contracts) that are used or useful in the conduct of their respective business in the ordinary course in good working order and
condition at all times, ordinary wear and tear excepted, and make all repairs, replacements, additions, betterments and improvements to their respective Properties to the extent necessary so that any failure will not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Borrowers and the Guarantors shall at all times maintain the Vessels in compliance with the requirements of the American Bureau of Shipping or any other classification
society acceptable to the Administrative Agent, for the highest classification for vessels of like age and type, and upon the Administrative Agent’s request therefor, the Borrowers shall promptly provide to the Administrative Agent copies of
certificates duly issued by the American Bureau of Shipping or other classification society acceptable to the Administrative Agent, to the effect that the Vessels have been given the highest classification and rating for vessels of the same
respective ages and types, free of all recommendations and notations of such classification society affecting class. 
 Section
8.12 Notice of Certain Events. (a) The Parent Guarantor and the Borrowers shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent if any one of them learns of the occurrence of any event which constitutes a Default, together with a detailed
statement by a Responsible Officer of the Parent Guarantor as to the nature of the Default and the steps being taken to cure the effect of such Default. 

  
 -61-









 (b) The Parent Guarantor and the Borrowers shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of
any change in organizational jurisdiction, location of the principal place of business or the office where records concerning accounts and contract rights are kept, or any change in the federal taxpayer identification number or organizational
identification number of the Parent Guarantor or any Subsidiary.

 (e) The Parent Guarantor and the Borrowers shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of any defaults or alleged defaults of any party with respect to any construction contract for newbuild vessels
that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and thereafter keep the Administrative Agent advised of any significant developments in connection therewith. 

(f) The Parent Guarantor and the Borrowers shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of any and all Liens filed or otherwise
asserted, and attachments made, against the Vessels, together with copies of all related instruments and any other materials that the Administrative Agent shall request. 
 (g) The Parent Guarantor and the Borrowers shall provide to the Administrative Agent upon request therefor by the Administrative Agent from time to time, evidence satisfactory to the Administrative Agent
that no Change in Control has occurred. 
 Section 8.13 ERISA Information and Compliance. The Parent Guarantor and the
Borrowers will furnish to the Administrative Agent (i) as soon as is administratively practicable following a request from the Administrative Agent copies of each annual or other report filed with the United States Secretary of Labor or the
PBGC, copies of each annual and other report with respect to any Plan sponsored or maintained by either of the Borrowers, the Parent Guarantor, any Subsidiary, or any ERISA Affiliate and (ii) as soon as is administratively practicable upon
becoming aware of the occurrence of any (A) ERISA Event or (B) “prohibited transaction,” as such term is defined in Section 4975 of the Code, in connection with any Plan sponsored or maintained by any Parent
Guarantor, either Borrower, any Subsidiary or any ERISA Affiliate that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, a written notice signed by the president, the chief executive officer or the chief financial officer of the Parent
Guarantor specifying the nature thereof, what action the Parent Guarantor is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto, and, when known, any action taken by the Internal Revenue Service with respect thereto. The Parent Guarantor and the
Borrowers will comply with all of the applicable funding and other requirements of ERISA as such requirements relate to the Plans of the Parent Guarantor or any Subsidiary. 
 Section 8.14 Charters. The Borrowers and the Guarantors shall perform all of its obligations in respect of, and observe all of the terms and provisions of, any charter of a Vessel, and shall use
their best efforts to keep all such agreements in full force and effect for the applicable term thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no breach by the Borrowers or the Guarantors under a charter shall be a Default or Event of Default hereunder
unless the result could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 Section 8.15 Security. The Indebtedness shall be secured by the following:

 (a) The Vessels and related Property and rights of the Borrowers or the other Loan Parties satisfying the requirements of
Section 8.16 (“Vessel Collateral”), 
 (b) The Deposit Accounts, and 

(c) Upon the formation or acquisition of any Subsidiary which results in Parent Guarantor having Subsidiaries (other than Borrowers and
the then existing Guarantor Subsidiaries) with assets of $50,000,000 or more in the aggregate, or upon any Subsidiaries (other than Borrowers and the then existing Guarantor Subsidiaries) from time to time existing having assets of $50,000,000 or
more in the aggregate, then such Subsidiary or Subsidiaries as are satisfactory to the Required Lenders in their sole discretion (such that the Subsidiaries, other than the Borrowers, the then existing Guarantor Subsidiaries and such Subsidiary or
Subsidiaries as are satisfactory to the Required Lenders to guaranty the Indebtedness, not guarantying the Indebtedness have assets of less than $50,000,000 in the aggregate) shall guaranty the payment and performance of the Indebtedness by
executing and delivering in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, a guaranty agreement comparable to the Guaranty and Collateral Agreement but in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and
the Required Lenders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that, but for this sentence, a Subsidiary formed under the laws of a jurisdiction outside of the United States would be required to execute and deliver a guaranty, then in lieu of
such guaranty the Parent Guarantor or applicable Subsidiary of Parent Guarantor that owns such foreign Subsidiary shall promptly pledge to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, on an equity class by equity class basis the
lesser of (y) all of the equity of such class in such foreign Subsidiary that it owns or (z) sixty-five percent (65%) of the equity of such class issued and outstanding in such foreign Subsidiary (in other words, no more than
sixty-five percent (65%) of each class of the foreign Subsidiary’s equity issued and outstanding is to be pledged), as security for the Indebtedness (and if the pledgor is not a Borrower, such pledgor shall guaranty the Indebtedness), all
pursuant to documentation in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. Furthermore, if a Subsidiary guarantees the Debt of others, it shall also guaranty the Indebtedness on at least a pari passu basis with such other
guarantee. 
 Section 8.16 Collateral Value. The Borrowers shall cause the fair market value of the total Vessel
Collateral at all times to be greater than or equal to two hundred percent (200%) of (a) $250,000,000 prior to the delivery of the items set forth in subsections (i) and (ii) of the last paragraph of Section 2.01 and
(b) the Commitments from time to time in effect after such delivery (the “Required Collateral Value”). If from time to time, in order for the Borrowers to comply with the preceding sentence, including without limitation, when a
Vessel is subject to a Casualty Event, additional Vessels are required to be mortgaged in favor of the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, then (i) the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to choose in its sole and
absolute discretion which additional vessel or vessels owned (subject to the next following sentence) by either Borrower, not otherwise subject to a mortgage Lien securing Debt that otherwise does not violate this Agreement, shall be so mortgaged so
that the Borrowers will be in compliance with the preceding sentence (and the parties acknowledge that the Borrowers may suggest what additional vessel or vessels they would prefer but such suggestions nevertheless shall not have the effect of
impairing the fact that the selection is at the Administrative Agent’s sole and absolute discretion), and (ii) the applicable Borrower(s) owning such vessel(s) shall promptly supplement and amend the applicable Security Instrument and this
Agreement, or enter into collateral documents, pursuant to documentation in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, so as to grant to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders,


  
 -63-









 
Fleet Mortgage Liens (or the foreign equivalent) thereon and first priority security interests (or the foreign equivalent) in all related assets, and in connection therewith the Borrowers shall
provide to the Administrative Agent evidence of insurance required under the Loan Documents and applicable Certificates of Documentation as to the Vessel Collateral and Vessel abstracts thereon showing the Fleet Mortgage as the only recorded Lien
(other than Excepted Liens) thereon. If the fair market value of the Vessel Collateral is greater than the Required Collateral Value, the Borrowers shall not be entitled to the release of any Vessel Collateral without the written consent of all
Lenders, which will not be unreasonably withheld. The Borrowers shall not substitute vessels (and related assets) for existing Vessels that are Vessel Collateral without the written consent of the Required Lenders, which will not be unreasonably
withheld. The Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, accept vessels as Vessel Collateral that are flagged in countries other than the U.S. The Administrative Agent and the Lender acknowledge that, on the Effective Date and subject
to receipt of the items set forth in subsections (i) and (ii) of the last paragraph of Section 2.01, the requirements of this Section 8.16 are met by providing a Lien on the Vessels set forth in Schedule 8.16 and related Vessel
Collateral. 
 Section 8.17 Deposit Accounts. The Borrowers and the Parent Guarantor shall maintain their primary
domestic deposit, collection and disbursement banking accounts with a Lender. The foregoing is not applicable to the Investment Accounts, foreign banking accounts of the Borrowers or the Parent Guarantor or other banking related products.

 Section 8.18 Appraisal. At any time after the Effective Date (but in any event only four (4) times after such
date but prior to the Maturity Date) the Required Lenders shall be entitled to require that the Administrative Agent obtain, or the Administrative Agent may on its own initiative obtain, Appraisals by the Surveyor with respect to the Vessel
Collateral. The foregoing limitation shall not apply (a) in connection with each exercise of a Commitment Increase or (b) during the occurrence and continuance of any Default or Event of Default, in which event the Administrative Agent or
the Required Lenders shall be entitled to additional Appraisals. The Borrowers shall be liable for all reasonable expenses in connection with any such Appraisals. In addition to the foregoing, the Required Lenders may from time to time in their
discretion obtain further Appraisals, at the pro-rata cost and expense of all the Lenders (computed by reference to each Lender’s Applicable Percentage). If Dufour, Laskay & Strouse is removed from the Administrative Agent’s list
of approved surveyors and a different surveyor (such surveyor to be on the Administrative Agent’s approved list and selected by the Administrative Agent) appraises the Vessels at a lower amount than previously appraised, the Borrowers may, at
their own cost and expense, have any other surveyor on the Administrative Agent’s approved list reappraise the Vessels. The higher of the two appraisals shall be the accepted appraisal, but only if the appraisal methodology is acceptable to the
Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion. 
 Section 8.19 Liquidity. If the 2013 Convertible Senior Unsecured
Notes remain outstanding as of April 30, 2013, then commencing on such date, the Parent Guarantor and the Borrowers shall maintain as of the end of such calendar month and each calendar month-end thereafter, Available Liquidity of $350,000,000
until the earlier of (a) the refinancing of the 2013 Convertible Senior Unsecured Notes to a date that is 91 or more days beyond the scheduled Maturity Date or (b) the Redemption of the 2013 Convertible Senior Unsecured Notes. 

ARTICLE IX 

Negative Covenants 
 Until the Commitments have expired or terminated and the principal of and interest on each Loan and all fees payable hereunder and all other amounts payable under the Loan Documents shall have been paid
in full and all Letters of Credit have expired, terminated or been cash collateralized to the reasonable satisfaction of the Issuing Lender and all LC Disbursements shall have been reimbursed, the Parent Guarantor and the Borrowers covenant and
agree with the Administrative Agent and the Lenders on behalf of the Loan Parties that:

(a) Interest Coverage Ratio. The Parent Guarantor will not permit its ratio of EBITDA (without pro forma adjustments) for the
period of four fiscal quarters then ending to interest expense (determined in accordance with GAAP except that the non-cash original issue discount component of interest expense related to Debt subject to APB 14 will be excluded from interest
expense for purposes of this calculation) as of the last day of any fiscal quarter to be less than (i) 2.00 to 1.00 beginning with the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2011 until the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2012,

 (d) Leverage Ratio. The Parent Guarantor will not, as of the last day of any fiscal quarter commencing with the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2012, permit its Leverage Ratio to be greater

 Section 9.02 Debt. No Loan Party will create, incur, issue, assume, guarantee or otherwise become
directly or indirectly liable, contingently or otherwise, with respect to any Debt not permitted by the terms of the Indentures as such Indentures are amended or modified from time to time and comparable provisions of any indentures that may be
entered into as a restatement, renewal, refinance or rearrangement of any of the Indentures (“Replacement Indentures”) entered into from time to time (“Debt Covenant”) and, for purposes of the foregoing, the
provisions of the latest such Debt Covenant adopted, together with all related definitions and giving effect, if applicable, to the termination provisions upon the attainment of certain Debt ratings, are incorporated herein by reference, mutatis
mutandis, and shall be deemed to continue in effect for the Administrative Agent’s, the Issuing Lender’s, the Swing Line Lender’s and the Lenders’ benefit as in effect on the date of the last to be terminated of the
Indentures and any Replacement Indentures. The Debt issued under any Replacement Indenture or any other indenture entered into by a Loan Party from time to time must be payable in a single payment upon the Stated Maturity, such Stated Maturity may
not be earlier than six months after the Maturity Date, and the covenants may not be materially more restrictive (taken as a whole) than the covenants contained in this Agreement. 

Section 9.03 Liens. No Loan Party will create, incur, assume, or permit to exist any Lien on any of the Vessel Collateral or other
Properties, except for the following, which shall be “Excepted Liens”, provided that only the liens referred to in clauses (a) through (c) below may apply to the Vessel Collateral:

(d) precautionary liens on Property covered by Capital Leases. 
 (e) Legal or equitable encumbrances deemed to exist by reason of negative pledge covenants and other covenants or undertakings of like nature (provided, that any such covenant or undertaking shall not
apply to such Loan Party’s ability to grant Liens in favor of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders). 
 (f) Liens on
Property of a Loan Party that is not Vessel Collateral, which Liens arise from a judgment or judgments against a Loan Party; provided that such Liens shall not exceed $5,000,000 in the aggregate during the term of the Loan and such Loan Party shall
nevertheless diligently contest such judgment. 
 (g) Liens by shipyards on vessels under construction securing the obligation of
a Loan Party to pay for the cost of such vessel.

of the Person merged into or consolidated with any Loan Party. 
 (i) Liens on any Person or any Property of a Person existing at

Property, provided that 

  
 -66-









 
the amount of any such financing shall not exceed the amount expended in the acquisition of, or the construction or conversion of, such Property and such Liens shall not extend to any other
Property of a Loan Party or a Subsidiary thereof (other than any associated accounts, contracts and insurance proceeds). 
 (p)
Liens securing Debt used to refinance Debt (as permitted by the Debt Covenant) which are secured by Liens referred to in (h), (i), (l) and (o) above and in this subsection (p).

respect to the Parent Guarantor; provided, that the Parent Guarantor shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of any such permitted dividends, splits or reverse splits; 

(c) the Parent Guarantor shall be permitted to issue shares of its Equity Interests or purchase its Equity Interests for purposes of
contributing such shares or selling such shares to an employee stock ownership plan sponsored by Parent Guarantor; provided, that the aggregate of such Restricted Payments during the term of the Agreement shall not exceed $25,000,000;

 (d) if no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Parent Guarantor shall be permitted to make Restricted

 -67-









 (e) if no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Parent Guarantor shall

 Section 9.05 Nature of Business. Neither the Parent Guarantor nor any Subsidiary will engage in any material respect in any business other than the marine vessel business, including any logistics
services related thereto and any ancillary, complementary or related line of business. 
 Section 9.06 Mergers, Acquisitions,
New Subsidiaries. No Loan Party will acquire, merge or consolidate with or into or make an Investment in any Person (other than with another Loan Party), nor will it sell, assign, lease or otherwise dispose of (whether in one transaction or in a
series of transactions) any Vessel Collateral or all or substantially all of its Property (whether now owned or hereafter acquired) to any Person; provided, that 
 (a) a Loan Party may merge with another Person (other than with another Loan Party) if, and only if, (1) the Loan Party is the surviving entity, (2) the merging Person is primarily in the marine

such fiscal quarters ending on or prior to September 30, 2012, the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio of the Parent Guarantor (on a consolidated basis with its Consolidated Subsidiaries) would be at least 0.25x below the maximum Senior Secured
Leverage Ratio permitted under Section 9.01(b) for such quarter end before an Event of Default otherwise would exist thereunder or (ii) for all such fiscal quarters ending on or after December 31, 2012, the Leverage Ratio of the

thereunder, and (5) the Borrowers shall have provided the Administrative Agent at least fifteen (15) days advance notice of the merger and such information and materials in connection therewith that the Administrative Agent or any Lender
reasonably requests. If clause (4)(B) in this Section 9.06(a) cannot be satisfied, the Loan Party can still merge with another Person (other than with another Loan Party) if the cost of acquisition of such Person (measured by the market
value of the securities and other Property transferred and amount of assumed Debt) to be merged with the Loan Party does not exceed fifteen percent (15%) of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets (as of the most recently completed fiscal quarter for

shall at any time be or become liable for such Subsidiary’s Debts, then or thereafter arising unless such Subsidiary is a Guarantor Subsidiary, (7) except where such acquisition or formation of a Subsidiary or other acquisition shall
involve in excess of fifteen percent (15%) of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets (as of the most recently completed fiscal quarter for which internal financial statements are available) in which event, prompt notice following such action shall be
permissible, the Borrowers shall have provided the Administrative Agent at least fifteen (15) days advance notice of the acquisition and such information and materials in connection therewith that the Administrative Agent or any Lender
reasonably requests. If clause (3)(B) in this Section 9.06(b) cannot be satisfied, the Loan Party can still acquire or form a Subsidiary or make an Investment if the cost of such acquisition, formation or Investment does not exceed fifteen
percent (15%) of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets (as of most recently completed fiscal quarter for which internal financial statements are available) and the other requirements of this paragraph are met. Nothing in this Agreement is intended
to prohibit any Loan Party from entering into any new construction or conversion of vessels.

Subsidiaries of the Borrowers or the Parent Guarantor) unless such transactions are not otherwise prohibited under this Agreement and are upon fair and reasonable terms no less favorable to the Parent Guarantor, Borrowers or such Subsidiaries than
they would obtain in a comparable arm’s length transaction with a Person not an Affiliate. For the avoidance of doubt, an employee stock ownership plan sponsored by Parent Guarantor shall not be an “Affiliate”. 

Section 9.13 Reserved.

or other disposition (as reasonably determined by the board of directors of the Parent Guarantor and, if requested by the Administrative Agent, the Parent Guarantor shall deliver a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Parent Guarantor
certifying to that effect), and (iii) all such sales or other dispositions (other than a TTB Sale) of Property or Subsidiaries owning Properties does not have a fair market value in excess of twenty percent (20%) of the Consolidated Net

The Administrative Agent 
 Section 11.01 Appointment; Powers. Each of the Lenders hereby appoints Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. as its Administrative Agent. Each Lender authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on
its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and the other Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. 

Section 11.02 Duties and Obligations of the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall have no duties or obligations
except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred
and is continuing (the use of the 

  
 -75-









 
term “Administrative Agent” herein and in the other Loan Documents with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or
express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law; rather, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting
parties), (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except as provided in Section 11.03, and (c) except as expressly set forth herein, the
Administrative Agent shall have no duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrowers, the Parent Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the Lender
serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrowers,
the Parent Guarantor or a Lender, and shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document,
(ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or under any other Loan Document or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other
terms or conditions set forth herein or in any other Loan Document, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, (v) the
satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article VI or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent or as to those conditions precedent expressly required to be to the
Administrative Agent’s satisfaction, (vi) the existence, value, perfection or priority of any collateral security or the financial or other condition of the Borrowers or the Parent Guarantor and its Subsidiaries, or (vii) any failure
by the Borrowers or any other Person (other than itself) to perform any of its obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document or the performance or observance of any covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or
therein. For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Article VI, each Lender shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter required thereunder to be
consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from such Lender prior to the proposed Effective Date specifying its objection thereto. 

Section 11.03 Action by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall have no 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 in writing as directed by the Required Lenders (or such
other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 12.02) and in all cases the Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder or under any other
Loan Documents unless it shall (a) receive written instructions from the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 12.02) specifying the action
to be taken and (b) be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expenses which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The instructions as aforesaid and any action
taken or failure to act pursuant thereto by the Administrative Agent shall be binding on all of the Lenders. If a Default has occurred and is continuing, then the Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default as shall be
directed by the requisite Lenders in the written instructions (with indemnities) described in this Section 11.03, provided that, unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may
(but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the applicable Lenders. In no event, however, shall the Administrative Agent be
required to take any action which exposes the Administrative Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to this Agreement, the Loan Documents or applicable law. If a Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent


  
 -76-









 
shall not have any obligation to perform any act in respect thereof. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the
Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 12.02), and otherwise the Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it
hereunder or under any other Loan Document or under any other document or instrument referred to or provided for herein or therein or in connection herewith or therewith INCLUDING ITS OWN ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE, except for its own gross negligence or
willful misconduct. 
 Section 11.04 Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely
upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. The
Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon, except in the case of gross negligence or willful
misconduct by the Administrative Agent and each of the Borrowers, the Guarantors, the Lenders, and the Issuing Lender hereby waives the right to dispute the Administrative Agent’s record of such statement absent manifest error. The
Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrowers and the Parent Guarantor), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in
accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the holder thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until a written notice of the assignment or transfer
thereof permitted hereunder shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. 
 Section 11.05 Sub-Administrative
Agents. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-Administrative Agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such
sub-Administrative Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding Sections of this Article XI shall apply to any such
sub-Administrative Agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-Administrative Agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as
well as activities as Administrative Agent. Neither Borrower nor the Parent Guarantor shall be responsible for payment of fees or expenses of any such sub-Administrative Agent. 

Section 11.06 Resignation or Removal of Administrative Agent. Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor
Administrative Agent as provided in this Section 11.06, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders, the Issuing Lender, the Borrowers and the Parent Guarantor, and the Administrative Agent may be removed at any
time with or without cause by the Required Lenders. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrowers, to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the
Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation or removal of the retiring Administrative Agent, then the retiring Administrative Agent
may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Lender, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, or an Affiliate of any such Lender or such other location as approved by the Required Lenders or if no such successor shall be appointed by the retiring
Administrative Agent as aforesaid, the Required Lenders shall thereafter perform all of the duties of the retiring Administrative Agent hereunder until such appointment by the Required Lenders is made and accepted. Upon the acceptance of its
appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be
discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent shall be 

  
 -77-









 
the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and such successor. After the Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this
Article XI and Section 12.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-Administrative Agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of
them while it was acting as Administrative Agent. 
 Section 11.07 Administrative Agents as Lenders. Each Lender serving
as an Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Administrative Agent, and such Lender and its Affiliates may accept
deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrowers, the Parent Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries or other Affiliates as if it were not an Administrative Agent hereunder. 

Section 11.08 No Reliance. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent,
any other Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and each other Loan Document to which it is a party.
Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any other Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem
appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. The Administrative Agent shall not
be required to keep itself informed as to the performance or observance by the Borrowers, the Parent Guarantor or any of their Subsidiaries of this Agreement, the Loan Documents or any other document referred to or provided for herein or to inspect
the Property or books of the Borrowers, the Parent Guarantor or their Subsidiaries. Except for notices, reports and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, no
Administrative Agent shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition or business of the Borrowers, the Parent Guarantor (or any of their Affiliates) which
may come into the possession of such Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates. In this regard, each Lender acknowledges that Vinson & Elkins L.L.P. is acting in this transaction as special counsel to Wells Fargo and its Affiliates
only, except to the extent otherwise expressly stated in any legal opinion or any Loan Document. Each other party hereto will consult with its own legal counsel to the extent that it deems necessary in connection with the Loan Documents and the
matters contemplated therein. 
 Section 11.09 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of
any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to the Borrowers, the Guarantors or any of their Subsidiaries, the Administrative Agent (irrespective

 Section 12.02 Waivers; Amendments. 

(a) No failure on the part of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or any Lender to exercise and no delay in exercising, and no
course of dealing with respect to, any right, power or privilege, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right, power or privilege, under any of the Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or
partial exercise of any right, power or privilege under any of the Loan Documents preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing
Lender and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to
any departure by the Borrowers therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by Section 12.02(b), and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which
given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or any other Lender
may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time. 
 (b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof nor any
Security Instrument nor any provision thereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrowers, the Parent Guarantor and the Required Lenders or by the Borrowers, the Parent
Guarantor and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce the principal
amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder, or reduce any other Indebtedness hereunder or under any other Loan Document, without the written consent of each Lender affected
thereby, (iii) postpone the scheduled date of payment or prepayment of the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement, or any interest thereon, or any fees payable hereunder, or any other Indebtedness hereunder or under any other Loan
Document, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone or extend the Maturity Date without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iv) change Section 4.01(b) or Section 4.01(c) in a manner that
would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the written consent of each Lender, (v) release the Parent Guarantor (except as set forth in the Guaranty and Collateral Agreement) or release all or substantially all of
the collateral (other than as provided in Section 11.10) without the written consent of each Lender, or (vi) change any of the provisions of this Section 12.02(b) or the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other
provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or under any other Loan Documents or make any determination or 

  
 -80-









 
grant any consent hereunder or any other Loan Documents, without the written consent of each Lender; provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the
rights or duties of the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any
supplement to Schedule 7.15 (Subsidiaries) shall be effective simply by delivering to the Administrative Agent a supplemental schedule clearly marked as such and, upon receipt, the Administrative Agent will promptly deliver a copy thereof to the
Lenders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, except that the Commitment of such Lender may not be increased or extended
without the consent of such Lender. 
 Section 12.03 Expenses, Indemnity; Damage Waiver. 

(a) The Borrowers shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates,
including, without limitation, the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel and other outside consultants for the Administrative Agent, the reasonable travel, photocopy, mailing, courier, telephone and other similar expenses, and the
cost of environmental audits and surveys and Appraisals, in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration (both before and after the execution
hereof and including advice of counsel to the Administrative Agent as to the rights and duties of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect thereto) of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any amendments, modifications or
waivers of or consents related to the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all costs, expenses, Taxes, assessments and other charges incurred by any
Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with any filing, registration, recording or perfection of any security interest contemplated by this Agreement or any Security Instrument or any other document referred to therein, (iii) all
reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred by the Issuing Lender in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder, (iv) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or any Lender, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or any Lender, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in
connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, including its rights under this Section 12.03, and including, without limitation, all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout or restructuring in respect of such Loans
or Letters of Credit. 
 (b) THE BORROWERS SHALL INDEMNIFY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE ISSUING LENDER AND EACH LENDER, AND EACH
RELATED PARTY OF ANY OF THE FOREGOING PERSONS (EACH SUCH PERSON BEING CALLED AN “INDEMNITEE”) AGAINST, AND HOLD EACH INDEMNITEE HARMLESS FROM, ANY AND ALL LOSSES, CLAIMS, DAMAGES, LIABILITIES AND RELATED EXPENSES, INCLUDING THE
FEES, CHARGES AND DISBURSEMENTS OF ANY COUNSEL FOR ANY INDEMNITEE, INCURRED BY OR ASSERTED AGAINST ANY INDEMNITEE ARISING OUT OF, IN CONNECTION WITH, OR AS A RESULT OF (i) THE EXECUTION OR DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT
OR ANY AGREEMENT OR INSTRUMENT CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY, THE PERFORMANCE BY THE PARTIES HERETO OR THE PARTIES TO ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OF THEIR RESPECTIVE OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER OR THE CONSUMMATION OF THE TRANSACTIONS
CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR BY ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, (ii) THE FAILURE OF THE BORROWERS OR ANY SUBSIDIARY TO COMPLY WITH THE TERMS OF ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, INCLUDING THIS AGREEMENT, OR WITH ANY GOVERNMENTAL REQUIREMENT, (iii) ANY INACCURACY OF
ANY REPRESENTATION OR ANY BREACH OF 

  
 -81-









 
ANY WARRANTY OR COVENANT OF THE BORROWERS OR ANY PARENT GUARANTOR SET FORTH IN ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY INSTRUMENTS, DOCUMENTS OR CERTIFICATIONS DELIVERED IN CONNECTION THEREWITH,
(iv) ANY LOAN OR LETTER OF CREDIT OR THE USE OF THE PROCEEDS THEREFROM, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, (A) ANY REFUSAL BY THE ISSUING LENDER TO HONOR A DEMAND FOR PAYMENT UNDER A LETTER OF CREDIT IF THE DOCUMENTS PRESENTED IN CONNECTION
WITH SUCH DEMAND DO NOT STRICTLY COMPLY WITH THE TERMS OF SUCH LETTER OF CREDIT, OR (B) THE PAYMENT OF A DRAWING UNDER ANY LETTER OF CREDIT NOTWITHSTANDING THE NON-COMPLIANCE, NON-DELIVERY OR OTHER IMPROPER PRESENTATION OF THE DOCUMENTS
PRESENTED IN CONNECTION THEREWITH, (v) ANY OTHER ASPECT OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, (vi) THE OPERATIONS OF THE BUSINESS OF THE BORROWERS, THE PARENT GUARANTOR AND THEIR SUBSIDIARIES BY THE PARENT GUARANTOR, THE BORROWERS AND THEIR SUBSIDIARIES,
(vii) ANY ASSERTION THAT THE LENDERS WERE NOT ENTITLED TO RECEIVE THE PROCEEDS RECEIVED PURSUANT TO THE SECURITY INSTRUMENTS, (viii) ANY ENVIRONMENTAL LAW APPLICABLE TO THE BORROWERS, THE PARENT GUARANTOR OR ANY SUBSIDIARY OR ANY OF THEIR
PROPERTIES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE PRESENCE, GENERATION, STORAGE, RELEASE, THREATENED RELEASE, USE, TRANSPORT, DISPOSAL, ARRANGEMENT OF DISPOSAL OR TREATMENT OF OIL, OIL AND GAS WASTES, SOLID WASTES OR HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES ON ANY OF THEIR

OR PAST ACTIVITY ON ANY OF THEIR PROPERTIES WHICH, THOUGH LAWFUL AND FULLY PERMISSIBLE AT THE TIME, COULD RESULT IN PRESENT LIABILITY, (xi) THE PRESENCE, USE, RELEASE, STORAGE, TREATMENT, DISPOSAL, GENERATION, THREATENED RELEASE, TRANSPORT,
ARRANGEMENT FOR TRANSPORT OR ARRANGEMENT FOR DISPOSAL OF OIL, OIL AND GAS WASTES, SOLID WASTES OR HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES ON OR AT ANY OF THE PROPERTIES OWNED OR OPERATED BY THE BORROWERS OR ANY SUBSIDIARY OR ANY ACTUAL OR ALLEGED PRESENCE OR RELEASE
OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS ON OR FROM ANY PROPERTY OWNED OR OPERATED BY THE BORROWERS OR ANY OF THEIR SUBSIDIARIES, (xii) ANY ENVIRONMENTAL LIABILITY RELATED IN ANY WAY TO THE BORROWERS OR ANY OF THEIR SUBSIDIARIES, OR (xiii) ANY OTHER
ENVIRONMENTAL, HEALTH OR SAFETY CONDITION IN CONNECTION WITH THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR (xiv) ANY ACTUAL OR PROSPECTIVE CLAIM, LITIGATION, INVESTIGATION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO ANY OF THE FOREGOING, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER
THEORY AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER ANY INDEMNITEE IS A PARTY THERETO, AND SUCH INDEMNITY SHALL EXTEND TO EACH INDEMNITEE NOTWITHSTANDING THE SOLE OR CONCURRENT NEGLIGENCE OF EVERY KIND OR CHARACTER WHATSOEVER, WHETHER ACTIVE OR PASSIVE, WHETHER AN
AFFIRMATIVE ACT OR AN OMISSION, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ALL TYPES OF NEGLIGENT CONDUCT IDENTIFIED IN THE RESTATEMENT (SECOND) OF TORTS OF ONE OR MORE OF THE INDEMNITEES OR BY REASON OF STRICT LIABILITY IMPOSED WITHOUT FAULT ON ANY ONE OR MORE
OF THE INDEMNITEES; PROVIDED THAT ANY OF THE ABOVE INDEMNITIES SHALL NOT, AS TO ANY INDEMNITEE, BE AVAILABLE TO THE EXTENT THAT SUCH LOSSES, CLAIMS, DAMAGES, LIABILITIES OR RELATED EXPENSES ARE DETERMINED BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION BY
FINAL AND NONAPPEALABLE JUDGMENT TO HAVE RESULTED FROM THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF SUCH INDEMNITEE. 

  
 -82-









 (c) To the extent that the Borrowers fail to pay any amount required to be paid by either
Borrower to any Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lender under Section 12.03(a) or (b), each Lender severally agrees to pay to such Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage
(determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case
may be, was incurred by or asserted against such Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lender in its capacity as such. 
 (d) To
the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrowers shall not assert, and hereby waive, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages)
arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof.

 (e) All amounts due under this Section 12.03 shall be payable not later than ten (10) days after written demand
therefor. 
 Section 12.04 Successors and Assigns. 

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors
and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of the Issuing Lender that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) except as permitted by Section 9.12, the Borrowers may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or
obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrowers without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or
obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section 12.04. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted
hereby (including any Affiliate of the Issuing Lender that issues any Letter of Credit), Participants (to the extent provided in Section 12.04(c)) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. 
 (b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or
a portion of its Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it) pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit G (an “Assignment”) with the prior written consent of: (A) the
Borrowers and the Parent Guarantor (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) provided that no consent of the Borrowers and the Parent Guarantor shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund (as
defined below) or, if an Event of Default under Section 10(a), (b), (h) or (i) has occurred and is continuing, any other Person; (B) the Administrative Agent and; (C) the Issuing Lender. 

(ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions: 

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining
amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment is delivered to


  
 -83-









 
the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000, unless each of the Borrowers, the Parent Guarantor and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that no such consent of
the Borrowers and the Parent Guarantor shall be required if an Event of Default under Section 10(a), (b), (h) or (i) has occurred and is continuing; 

(B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s
rights and obligations under this Agreement; 
 (C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to
the Administrative Agent an Assignment, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; 
 (D) the
assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire; 
 (E) notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if such Assignment is made at a time when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the written consent of the Borrowers
to such Assignment shall not be required; and 
 (F) notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no
assignments shall be made to a Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates. 
 For purposes of
this Section 12.04, “Approved Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its
business and that is administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an Affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender. 

(iii) Subject to Section 12.04(b)(iv) and the acceptance and recording thereof, from and after the effective
date specified in each Assignment the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder
shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such
Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 5.01, Section 5.02, Section 5.03 and Section 12.03). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this
Agreement that does not comply with this Section 12.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 12.04(c)(i). 

(iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an administrative agent of the Borrowers and the Parent
Guarantor, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans and LC Disbursements
owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and the Lenders may treat each
Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, 

  
 -84-









 
notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers and the Parent Guarantor, the Issuing Lender and any Lender, at any reasonable time and
from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. In connection with any changes to the Register, if necessary, the Administrative Agent will reflect the revisions on Annex I and forward a copy of such revised Annex I to the Borrowers,
the Issuing Lender and each Lender. 
 (v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment executed by an
assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire and applicable required tax forms (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in
Section 12.04(b) and any written consent to such assignment required by Section 12.04(b), the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective
for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register after meeting the requirements provided in this Section 12.04(b). 
 (c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lender sell participations to one or more Lenders or other entities (a
“Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); 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, the Issuing
Lender and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a
participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide
that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the proviso to Section 12.02 that affects such Participant. In addition such agreement must provide that the
Participant be bound by the provisions of Section 12.03. Subject to Section 12.04(c)(ii), the Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 5.01, 5.02 and 5.03 to the same extent as if it were a
Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 12.04(b). To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 12.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant
agrees to be subject to Section 4.01(c) as though it were a Lender. 
 (ii) A Participant shall not be
entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 5.02 or Section 5.03 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to
such Participant is made with the Borrowers’ prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 5.03 unless the Borrowers are notified of the
participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrowers, to comply with Section 5.03(g) as though it were a Lender. 
 (d) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including, without limitation, any pledge
or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section 12.04(d) shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall
release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. 

  
 -85-









 (e) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 12.04, no transfer or
assignment of the interests or obligations of any Lender or any grant of participations therein shall be permitted if such transfer, assignment or grant would require the Borrowers and the Parent Guarantors to file a registration statement with the
SEC or to qualify the Loans under the “Blue Sky” laws of any state. 
 (f) 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; 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 affects such Participant. The Borrowers agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits
of Section 5.01, 5.02 and 5.03 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein) 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 (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 2.12 and 5.04 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 5.01 or 5.03,
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 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 2.12 with respect to any
Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section12.08 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 4.01 as though it were a Lender.
Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each
Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register
(including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such
disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be
conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the
avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. 
 (g) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall any Lender or Participant assign any portion of or sell any participations in its rights and obligations under this
Agreement to a competitor in the marine vessel business, including any logistic services related thereto or any ancillary, complementary or related line of business, or an Affiliate of such competitor, of the Parent Guarantor, the Borrowers, or a
Subsidiary. This prohibition shall be included in any documentation effecting an assignment of any interest herein or in the Notes issued hereunder and any attempted assignment in violation of this provision shall be void ab initio. 

Section 12.05 Survival; Revival; Reinstatement. 
 (a) All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrowers herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any
other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any 

  
 -86-









 
Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or
any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any
Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 5.01, 5.02, 5.03 and
12.03 and Article XI shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or
the termination of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any provision hereof or thereof. 
 (b) To the extent that any
payments on the Indebtedness or proceeds of any collateral are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, debtor in possession, receiver or other Person under any Bankruptcy
Law, common law or equitable cause, then to such extent, the Indebtedness so satisfied shall be revived and continue as if such payment or proceeds had not been received and the Administrative Agent’s and the Lenders’ Liens, rights, powers
and remedies under this Agreement and each Loan Document shall continue in full force and effect. In such event, each Loan Document shall be automatically reinstated and the Borrowers shall take such action as may be reasonably requested by the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders to effect such reinstatement. 
 Section 12.06 Counterparts; Integration;
Effectiveness. 
 (a) This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different
counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. 
 (b) This Agreement, 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 thereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof. 
 (c) Except as provided in Section 6.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received
counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an
executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. 
 Section 12.07 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be
ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof or thereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular
jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
 Section 12.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event
of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender or Administrative Agent and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any
and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations (of whatsoever kind, including, without limitations obligations under Swap Agreements) at any time owing

by such Lender or Administrative Agent or any Affiliate of such Lender or Administrative Agent to or for the credit or the account of the Borrowers or any Guarantor against any of and all the
obligations of the Borrowers or any Guarantor owed to such Lender or Administrative Agent now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or Administrative Agent shall have made
any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations may be unmatured; provided, however, that in no event shall the Administrative Agent or any Lender be entitled to exercise any statutory or common law right of
set-off in the Investment Accounts in connection with and as against the Indebtedness. The rights of each Lender or Administrative Agent under this Section 12.08 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff)
which such Lender or Administrative Agent or their respective Affiliates may have. 
 Section 12.09 GOVERNING LAW;
JURISDICTION; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. 
 (a) THIS AGREEMENT AND THE NOTES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS; EXCEPT THAT CHAPTER 346 OF THE TEXAS FINANCE CODE (WHICH REGULATES CERTAIN REVOLVING CREDIT LOAN ACCOUNTS AND REVOLVING TRI PARTY ACCOUNTS) SHALL NOT APPLY TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE NOTES.

BRINGING OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN SUCH RESPECTIVE JURISDICTIONS. THIS SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION IS NONEXCLUSIVE AND DOES NOT PRECLUDE A PARTY FROM OBTAINING JURISDICTION OVER ANOTHER PARTY IN ANY COURT OTHERWISE HAVING JURISDICTION.

 Section 12.10 Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents
used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement. 

Section 12.11 Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and the Lenders agrees to maintain the
confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and Administrative Agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other
advisors (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, (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (e) in connection with the exercise of any
remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any suit, 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 12.11, 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
counterparty (or its advisors) to any Swap Agreement relating to the Borrowers and their obligations, (g) with the consent of the Borrowers and the Parent Guarantor or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available
other than as a result of a breach of this Section 12.11 or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrowers. For the purposes of this
Section 12.11, “Information” means all information received from the Borrowers, the Parent Guarantor or any Subsidiary relating to the Borrowers, the Parent Guarantor or any Subsidiary and their businesses, other than any such
information that is available to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrowers, the Parent Guarantor or a Subsidiary; provided that, in the case of information
received from the Borrowers, the Parent Guarantor or any Subsidiary after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided
in this Section 12.11 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. 
 Section 12.12 Interest Rate Limitation. It is the intention of the parties hereto that each Lender shall
conform strictly to usury laws applicable to it. Accordingly, if the transactions contemplated hereby would be usurious as to any Lender under laws applicable to it (including the laws of the United States of America and the State of Texas or any
other jurisdiction whose laws may be mandatorily applicable to such Lender notwithstanding the other provisions of this Agreement), then, in that event, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any of the Loan Documents or any agreement entered
into in connection with or as security for the Notes, it is agreed as follows: (i) the aggregate of all consideration which constitutes interest under law applicable to any Lender that is contracted for, taken, reserved, charged or received by
such Lender under any of the Loan Documents or agreements or otherwise in connection with the Notes shall under no circumstances exceed the maximum amount allowed by such applicable law, and any excess shall be canceled automatically and if
theretofore paid shall be credited by such Lender on the principal amount of the Indebtedness (or, to the extent that the principal amount of the Indebtedness shall have been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded by such Lender to the
Borrowers); and (ii) in the event that the maturity of the Notes is accelerated by reason of an election of the holder thereof resulting from any Event of Default under this Agreement or otherwise, or in the event of any required or permitted
prepayment, then such consideration that constitutes interest under law applicable to any Lender may never include more than the maximum amount allowed by such applicable law, and excess interest, if any, provided for in this Agreement or otherwise
shall be canceled automatically by such Lender as of the date of such acceleration or prepayment and, if theretofore paid, shall be credited by such Lender on the 

  
 -89-









 
principal amount of the Indebtedness (or, to the extent that the principal amount of the Indebtedness shall have been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded by such Lender to the Borrowers).
All sums paid or agreed to be paid to any Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of sums due hereunder shall, to the extent permitted by law applicable to such Lender, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the stated term of
the Loans evidenced by the Notes until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of any Loans hereunder does not exceed the maximum amount allowed by such applicable law. If at any time and from time to time (i) the
amount of interest payable to any Lender on any date shall be computed at the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to such Lender pursuant to this Section 12.12 and (ii) in respect of any subsequent interest computation period the amount of
interest otherwise payable to such Lender would be less than the amount of interest payable to such Lender computed at the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to such Lender, then the amount of interest payable to such Lender in respect of such
subsequent interest computation period shall continue to be computed at the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to such Lender until the total amount of interest payable to such Lender shall equal the total amount of interest which would have been
payable to such Lender if the total amount of interest had been computed without giving effect to this Section 12.12. To the extent that Chapter 303 of the Texas Finance Code is relevant for the purpose of determining the Highest Lawful Rate
applicable to a Lender, such Lender elects to determine the applicable rate ceiling under such Chapter by the weekly ceiling from time to time in effect. Chapter 346 of the Texas Finance Code does not apply to the Borrowers’ obligations
hereunder. 
 Section 12.13 EXCULPATION PROVISIONS. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO SPECIFICALLY AGREES THAT IT HAS A DUTY TO
READ THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND AGREES THAT IT IS CHARGED WITH NOTICE AND KNOWLEDGE OF THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS; THAT IT HAS IN FACT READ THIS AGREEMENT AND IS FULLY INFORMED AND HAS FULL NOTICE
AND KNOWLEDGE OF THE TERMS, CONDITIONS AND EFFECTS OF THIS AGREEMENT; THAT IT HAS BEEN REPRESENTED BY INDEPENDENT LEGAL COUNSEL OF ITS CHOICE THROUGHOUT THE NEGOTIATIONS PRECEDING ITS EXECUTION OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS; AND HAS
RECEIVED THE ADVICE OF ITS LEGAL COUNSEL IN ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS; AND THAT IT RECOGNIZES THAT CERTAIN OF THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS RESULT IN ONE PARTY ASSUMING THE LIABILITY
INHERENT IN SOME ASPECTS OF THE TRANSACTION AND RELIEVING THE OTHER PARTY OF ITS RESPONSIBILITY FOR SUCH LIABILITY. EACH PARTY HERETO AGREES AND COVENANTS THAT IT WILL NOT CONTEST THE VALIDITY OR ENFORCEABILITY OF ANY EXCULPATORY PROVISION OF THIS
AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS ON THE BASIS THAT THE PARTY HAD NO NOTICE OR KNOWLEDGE OF SUCH PROVISION OR THAT THE PROVISION IS NOT “CONSPICUOUS.” 
 Section 12.14 Collateral Matters; Swap Agreements. The benefit of the Security Instruments and of the provisions of this Agreement relating to any collateral securing the Indebtedness shall also
extend to and be available to those Lenders, Administrative Agents or their Affiliates which are counterparties to any Swap Agreement with the Borrowers, the Parent Guarantor or any of their Subsidiaries on a pro rata basis in respect of any
obligations of the Borrowers, the Parent Guarantor or any of their Subsidiaries which arise under any such Swap Agreement while such Person or its Affiliate is a Lender or Administrative Agent, but only while such Person or its Affiliate is a Lender
or Administrative Agent, including any Swap Agreements between such Persons in existence prior to the date hereof. No Lender or Administrative Agent or any Affiliate of a Lender shall have any voting rights under any Loan Document as a result of the
existence of obligations owed to it under any such Swap Agreements.

 Section 12.15 No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents,
and the agreement of the Lenders to make Loans and the Issuing Lender to issue, amend, renew or extend Letters of Credit hereunder are solely for the benefit of the Borrowers, the Parent Guarantor and no other Person (including, without limitation,
any Subsidiary of the Borrowers, any Subsidiary of the Guarantors, any obligor, contractor, subcontractor, supplier or materialsman) shall have any rights, claims, remedies or privileges hereunder or under any other Loan Document against the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or any Lender for any reason whatsoever. There are no third party beneficiaries other than the Parent Guarantor. 
 Section 12.16 Electronic Communications. 
 (a) The Borrowers and the Parent
Guarantor hereby agree that, unless otherwise requested by the Administrative Agent, each will provide to the Administrative Agent all information, documents and other materials that it is obligated to furnish to the Administrative Agent pursuant to
the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, all notices, requests, financial statements, financial and other reports, certificates and other information materials, but excluding any such communication that (i) relates to a request for a
new, or a conversion of an existing, Borrowing or other extension of credit (including any election of an interest rate or interest period relating thereto), (ii) relates to the payment of any principal or other amount due under this Agreement
prior to the scheduled date therefor, (iii) provides notice of any Default or Event of Default under this Agreement, (iv) is required to be delivered to satisfy any condition precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement and/or any
Borrowing or other extension of credit hereunder or (v) initiates or responds to legal process (all such non-excluded information being referred to herein collectively as the “Communications”) by transmitting the Communications
in an electronic/soft medium (provided such Communications contain any required signatures) in a format acceptable to the Administrative Agent, to both Corbin Womac at corbin.m.womac@wellsfargo.com and Diana Horn at diana.horn@wellsfargo.com (or
such other e-mail address designated by the Administrative Agent from time to time). 
 (b) Each party hereto agrees that the
Administrative Agent may make the Communications available to the Lenders and the Issuing Lender by posting the Communications on IntraLinks or another relevant website, if any, to which each Lender, the Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent
have access (whether a commercial, third-party website or whether sponsored by the Administrative Agent) (the “Platform”). Nothing in this Section 12.16 shall prejudice the right of the Administrative Agent to make the
Communications available to the Lenders and the Issuing Lender in any other manner specified in the Loan Documents. 
 (c) The
Borrowers hereby acknowledge that certain of the Lenders may be “public-side” Lenders (i.e., Lenders that do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to the Borrowers or their securities) (each, a
“Public Lender”). The Borrowers hereby agree that (i) Communications that are to be made available on the Platform to Public Lenders shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall
mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof, (ii) by marking Communications “PUBLIC,” the Borrowers shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agents, the Issuing
Lender and the Lenders to treat such Communications as either publicly available information or not material information (although it may be sensitive and proprietary) with respect to the Borrowers or their securities for purposes of United States
federal and state securities laws, (iii) all Communications marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated “Public Lender,” and (iv) the Administrative
Agents shall be entitled to treat any Communications that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not designated “Public Lender.” 

  
 -91-









 (d) Each Lender agrees that e-mail notice to it (at the address provided pursuant to the
next sentence and deemed delivered as provided in the next paragraph) specifying that Communications have been posted to the Platform shall constitute effective delivery of such Communications to such Lender for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each
Lender agrees (i) to notify the Administrative Agent in writing (including by electronic communication) from time to time to ensure that the Administrative Agent has on record an effective e-mail address for such Lender to which the foregoing
notice may be sent by electronic transmission and (ii) that the foregoing notice may be sent to such e-mail address. 
 (e)
Each party hereto agrees that any electronic communication referred to in this Section 12.16 shall be deemed delivered upon the posting of a record of such communication (properly addressed to such party at the e-mail address provided to the
Administrative Agent) as “sent” in the e-mail system of the sending party or, in the case of any such communication to the Administrative Agent, upon the posting of a record of such communication as “received” in
the e-mail system of the Administrative Agent; provided that if such communication is not so received by the Administrative Agent during the normal business hours of the Administrative Agent, such communication shall be deemed delivered at
the opening of business on the next Business Day for the Administrative Agent. 
 (f) Each party hereto acknowledges that
(i) the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure and that there are confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution, (ii) the Communications and the Platform are provided “as
is” and “as available,” (iii) none of the Administrative Agents, their affiliates nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, Administrative Agents, advisors or representatives (collectively, the
“Administrative Agent Parties”) warrants the adequacy, accuracy or completeness of the Communications or the Platform, and each Administrative Agent Party expressly disclaims liability for errors or omissions in any Communications
or the Platform, and (iv) no warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including, without limitation, any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third party rights or freedom from viruses
or other code defects, is made by any Administrative Agent Party in connection with any Communications or the Platform. 

Section 12.17 USA Patriot Act Notice. Each Lender hereby notifies the Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements of the USA
Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “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 to identify the Borrowers in accordance with the Act. 
 Section
12.18 Existing Credit Agreement. On the date of this Agreement, the Existing Credit Agreement shall be amended and restated in its entirety by this Agreement, and the Existing Credit Agreement shall be replaced hereby; provided that the
Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agree that on the date of the initial funding of Loans hereunder, the loans and other Indebtedness of the Borrowers under the Existing Credit Agreement, if applicable, shall be renewed, rearranged,
modified and extended with the proceeds of the initial funding and the “Commitments” of the lenders under the Existing Credit Agreement shall be superseded by this Agreement and terminated. This Agreement is not in any way intended to
constitute a novation of the obligations and liabilities existing under the Existing Credit Agreement or evidence payment of all or any portion of such obligations and liabilities. The terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Administrative
Agent’s, the Lenders’, the Swing Line Lender’s and the Issuing Lenders’ rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall apply to all of the Indebtedness incurred under the Existing Credit Agreement.
The undersigned hereby waive (i) any right to receive any notice of such termination, (ii) any right to receive any notice of prepayment of amounts owed under the Existing Credit Agreement, and (iii) any right to receive compensation
under the Existing Credit Agreement in respect of Eurodollar Loans outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement resulting from such rearrangement. Each Lender that was a party to the Existing Credit Agreement hereby agrees to return to the
Borrowers, with reasonable promptness, any promissory note delivered by the Borrowers to such Lender in connection with the Existing Credit Agreement.

 Section 12.19 Reallocation of Commitments. 

(a) For an agreed consideration, each Lender (individually an “Assignor” and collectively, the
“Assignors”) hereby irrevocably sells and assigns, severally and not jointly, (i) all of such Assignor’s rights and obligations in its capacity as Lender under the Existing Credit Agreement and any other documents or
instruments delivered pursuant thereto to the extent related to its Commitment and Credit Exposure, as the case may be, identified in Annex II attached hereto and (ii) to the extent permitted to be assigned under applicable law, all
claims, suits, causes of action and any other right of such Assignor (in its capacity as Lender) against any Person, whether known or unknown, arising under or in connection with the Existing Credit Agreement, any other documents or instruments
delivered pursuant thereto or the transactions governed thereby or in any way based on or related to any of the foregoing, including contract claims, tort claims, malpractice claims, statutory claims and all other claims at law or in equity related
to the rights and obligations sold and assigned pursuant to clause (i) above (the rights and obligations sold and assigned pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) above being referred to herein collectively for all Assignors as the
“Assigned Interests”) to the Lenders (individually, an “Assignee” and, collectively, the “Assignees”) set forth on Annex I hereto (which shall replace the Annex I to the Existing
Credit Agreement as of the Effective Date), and each Assignee hereby irrevocably purchases and assumes from each Assignor such Assignee’s percentage (as set forth on Annex I) of the Assigned Interests, subject to and in accordance with
this Agreement, as of the Effective Date. Such sale and assignment is without recourse to the Assignors and, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, without representation or warranty by the Assignors. 

(b) From and after the Effective Date, the Administrative Agent shall distribute all payments in respect of the Assigned Interests
(including payments of principal, interest, fees and other amounts) to the appropriate Assignors for amounts which have accrued to but excluding the Effective Date and to the appropriate Assignees for amounts which have accrued from and after the
Effective Date.
