plus 
 (iii) up to 15%, subject to the provisions of Sections 2.1(c) and (d) hereof (“Cash Advance Rate” and
together with the Receivables Advance Rate, the Inventory Advance Rate and the Inventory NOLV Advance Rate, collectively, the “Advance Rates”), of the cash collections in Borrowers’ Depository Account #8026260253 maintained
with Agent existing as of 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Business Day in which the Formula Amount is being calculated, minus 

(iv) the Availability Reserve, minus 

(v) the aggregate Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit, minus 

(vi) the outstanding balance of any Fuel Taxes that are due and owing plus such other reserves as Agent may reasonably deem proper and
necessary from time to time in its Permitted Discretion (including the FILO Reserve). 
 The amount derived from the sum of
(x) Sections 2.1(a)(y)(i), (ii) and (iii) minus (y) Section 2.1 (a)(y)(iv), (v) and (vi) at any time and from time to time shall be referred to as the “Formula Amount”. To the extent requested by any
Lender, the Revolving Advances may be evidenced by one or more amended and restated secured promissory notes (collectively, the “Revolving Credit Note”) substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1(a). Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in the foregoing or otherwise in this Agreement, the outstanding aggregate principal amount of Swing Loans and the Revolving Advances at any one time outstanding shall not exceed an amount equal to the lesser of
(i) the Maximum Revolving Loan Amount, less the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit, less the outstanding balance of any Fuel Taxes that are due and owing or (ii) the Formula Amount. 

  
 36 








 (b) Amount of FILO Advances. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this
Agreement including Sections 2.1(c)and (d), each FILO Lender, severally and not jointly, will make Advances (“FILO Advances”) in Dollars to Borrowers, in aggregate amounts outstanding at any time equal to such Lender’s FILO
Commitment Percentage of the lesser of (x) the Maximum FILO Amount or (y) an amount equal to the sum of: 
 (i) up to 7.5% (the
“FILO Receivables Advance Rate”) of Eligible Receivables, Eligible Off-load Receivables, Eligible Insured Foreign Receivables and Eligible Un-Insured

Discretion. 
 The amount derived from the sum of Sections 2.1(b)(y)(i) and (ii) minus (iii) at any time and from time to time
shall be referred to as the “FILO Borrowing Base”. To the extent requested by any Lender, the FILO Advances may be evidenced by one or more amended and restated secured promissory notes (collectively, the “FILO
Note”) substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1(b). 
 (c) Sublimits. 

(i) The aggregate amount of Revolving Advances and FILO Advances made to Borrowers against Inventory specified in section 2.1(a)(y)(ii) and
2.1(b)(y)(ii) shall not exceed, at any time, an amount equal to $175,000,000 in the aggregate; 
 (ii) The aggregate amount of Revolving

avoidance of doubt, be in addition to the sublimit specified in Section 2.1(b)(iv)(x)). 
 (d) Discretionary Rights. The
Receivables Advance Rate and FILO Receivables Advance Rate may be increased or decreased by Agent at any time and from time to time in the exercise of its Permitted Discretion. Each Borrower consents to any such increases or decreases and
acknowledges that decreasing the Receivables Advance Rate or FILO Receivables Advance Rate or increasing or imposing reserves may limit or restrict Advances requested by Borrowing Agent. The rights of Agent under this subsection are subject to the
provisions of Section 16.2(b). 
 (e) Availability Reserve. During a period when the Availability Reserve has been established,
Holdings may, but shall not be obligated to make a capital contribution into Borrowers in the form of new cash equity contributions or Subordinated Debt in an aggregate principal amount equal to or greater than the amount (the “Availability
Reserve Shortfall Amount”) that, when added to EBITDA (solely for the purpose of calculating the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio with respect to the Availability Reserve) on a
dollar-for-dollar basis for the relevant testing period, would have caused the Borrowers’ Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for such testing period (each an
“Availability Reserve Shortfall Equity Cure”) to be greater than or equal to 1.50 to 1.00; provided that (a) such Availability Reserve Shortfall Equity Cure shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $1,000,000
and in integral multiples of $500,000 thereafter, (b) such Availability Reserve Shortfall Equity Cure must be effected no later than 10 days after the delivery of the Compliance Certificate (or the date on which such Compliance Certificate was
required to have been delivered to Agent) detailing the respective calculation of the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio prior to exercise of the Availability Reserve Shortfall Equity Cure and the pro-forma result
following exercise of the Availability Reserve Shortfall Equity Cure, (c) no more than two (2) Availability Reserve Shortfall Equity Cures may be made during any four (4) consecutive quarters during the Term, and (d) each such
Availability Reserve Shortfall Equity Cure shall be delivered by wire transfer of immediately available funds to one of Borrower’s Depositary Accounts, as specified by Agent, for application to the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving
Advances. Upon receipt of such proceeds by the Agent, the Availability Reserve shall be deemed to be $0 and EBITDA shall be deemed to be increased for the quarter proceeding such contribution and any other quarter in which such quarter is included
for calculation purposes. To the extent the Availability Reserve Shortfall Amount is repaid by Borrower pursuant to Section 7.7(iii), EBITDA shall be deemed to be deceased by an amount equal to such repayment for the then current quarter and
for any other quarter in which EBITDA was deemed to be increased in the amount of such Availability Reserve Shortfall Amount. 
 2.2.
Procedure for Revolving Advances Borrowing and FILO Advances Borrowing. 
 (a) Borrowing Agent on behalf of any Borrower may notify
Agent prior to 10:00 a.m. on a Business Day of a Borrower’s request to incur, on that day, a Revolving Advance or FILO Advance hereunder; provided that notwithstanding anything in this Agreement


  
 38 








 
to the contrary, no Revolving Advances shall be made hereunder unless after giving effect thereto the then outstanding principal amount of FILO Advances is equal to the Maximum FILO Borrowing
Amount. Should any amount required to be paid as interest hereunder, or as fees or other charges under this Agreement or any other agreement with Agent or Lenders, or with respect to any other Obligation, become due, same shall be deemed a request
for a FILO Advance or Revolving Advance, as applicable, maintained as a Domestic Rate Loan as of the date such payment is due, in the amount required to pay in full such interest, fee, charge or Obligation under this Agreement or any other agreement
with Agent or Lenders, and such request shall be irrevocable. 
 (b) Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if any Applicable Law,
treaty, regulation or directive, or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, including without limitation any Change in Law, shall make it unlawful for Lenders or any Lender (for purposes of this subsection (g), the term
“Lender” shall include any Lender and the office or branch where any Lender or any Person controlling such Lender makes or maintains any Overnight Eurodollar Rate Loans) to make or maintain its Overnight Eurodollar Rate Loans, the
obligation of Lenders (or such affected Lender) to make Overnight Eurodollar Rate Loans hereunder shall forthwith be cancelled and Borrowers shall, if any affected Overnight Eurodollar Rate Loans are then outstanding, promptly upon request from
Agent, pay all such affected Overnight Eurodollar Rate Loans. 
 2.3. Disbursement of Advance Proceeds. All Advances shall be
disbursed from whichever office or other place Agent may designate from time to time and, together with any and all other Obligations of Borrowers to Agent or Lenders, shall be charged to Borrowers’ Account on Agent’s books. During the
Term, Borrowers may use the Revolving Advances, FILO Advances and Swing Loans by borrowing, prepaying and reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. The proceeds of each Revolving Advance requested by Borrowing Agent on
behalf of any Borrower or deemed to have been requested by any Borrower under Section 2.2(a) hereof shall, with respect to requested Revolving Advances to the extent Lenders make such Revolving Advances, be made available to the applicable
Borrower on the day so requested by way of credit to such Borrower’s operating account at PNC, or such other bank as Borrowing Agent may designate following notification to Agent, in immediately available federal funds or other immediately
available funds or, with respect to Revolving Advances deemed to have been requested by any Borrower, be disbursed to Agent to be applied to the outstanding Obligations giving rise to such deemed request. The proceeds of each Swing Loan requested by
Borrowing Agent on behalf of any Borrower shall be made available to the applicable Borrower on the day so requested by way of credit to such Borrower’s operating account at PNC, or such other bank as Borrowing Agent may designate following
notification to Agent, in immediately available federal funds or other immediately available funds. The proceeds of each FILO Advance requested by Borrowing Agent on behalf of any Borrower shall be made available to the applicable Borrower on the
day so requested by way of credit to such Borrower’s operating account at PNC, or such other bank as Borrowing Agent may designate following notification to Agent, in immediately available federal funds or other immediately available funds.


  
 39 








 2.4. Swing Loans. 

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, and in order to minimize the transfer of funds between Lenders and Agent
for administrative convenience, Agent, the Lenders holding Revolving Commitments and Swing Loan Lender agree that in order to facilitate the administration of this Agreement, Swing Loan Lender may, at its election and option made in its sole
discretion cancelable at any time for any reason whatsoever, make swing loan advances (“Swing Loans”) available to Borrowers as provided for in this Section 2.4 at any time or from time to time after the date hereof to, but not
including, the expiration of the Term, in an aggregate principal amount up to but not in excess of the Maximum Swing Loan Advance Amount, provided that the outstanding aggregate principal amount of Swing Loans and the Revolving Advances at any one
time outstanding shall not exceed an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the Maximum Revolving Loan Amount, less the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit, less the outstanding balance of any Fuel Taxes that are due and
owing or (ii) the Formula Amount. All Swing Loans shall be Domestic Rate Loans only. Borrowers may borrow (at the option and election of Swing Loan Lender), repay and reborrow (at the option and election of Swing Loan Lender) Swing Loans and
Swing Loan Lender may make Swing Loans as provided in this Section 2.4 during the period between Settlement Dates. All Swing Loans shall be evidenced by a secured promissory note (the “Swing Loan Note”) substantially in
the form attached hereto as Exhibit 2.4(a). Swing Loan Lender’s agreement to make Swing Loans under this Agreement is cancelable at any time for any reason whatsoever and the making of Swing Loans by Swing Loan Lender from time to time shall
not create any duty or obligation, or establish any course of conduct, pursuant to which Swing Loan Lender shall thereafter be obligated to make Swing Loans in the future 

(b) Upon either (x) any request by Borrowing Agent for a Revolving Advance made pursuant to Section 2.2(a) hereof or (y) the
occurrence of any deemed request by Borrowers for a FILO Advance or Revolving Advance, as applicable, pursuant to the provisions of the last sentence of Section 2.2(a) hereof, Swing Loan Lender may elect, in its sole discretion, to have such
request or deemed request treated as a request for a Swing Loan, and may advance same day funds to Borrowers as a Swing Loan; provided that notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided for herein, Swing Loan Lender may not make Swing Loan
Advances if Swing Loan Lender has been notified by Agent or by Required Lenders that one or more of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 8.2 of this Agreement have not been satisfied or the Revolving Commitments have been terminated
for any reason. 
 (c) Upon the making of a Swing Loan (whether before or after the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default and
regardless of whether a Settlement has been requested with respect to such Swing Loan), each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have unconditionally and irrevocably purchased from
Swing Loan Lender, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such Swing Loan in proportion to its Revolving Commitment Percentage. Swing Loan Lender or Agent may, at any time, require the Lenders holding Revolving
Commitments to fund such participations by means of a Settlement as provided for in Section 2.20(c) below. From and after the date, if any, on which any Lender holding a Revolving Commitment is required to fund, and funds, its participation in
any Swing Loans purchased hereunder, Agent shall promptly distribute to such Lender its Revolving Commitment Percentage of all payments of principal and interest and all proceeds of Collateral received by Agent in respect of such Swing Loan;
provided that no Lender holding a Revolving Commitment shall be obligated in any event to make Revolving Advances in an amount in excess of its Revolving Commitment Amount minus its Participation Commitment of the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all
outstanding Letters of Credit. 

  
 40 








 2.5. Maximum Advances. 

(a) The aggregate balance of Revolving Advances plus Swing Loans outstanding at any time shall not exceed the lesser of (i) the
Maximum Revolving Loan Amount less the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all issued and outstanding Letters of Credit less the outstanding balance of any Fuel Taxes that are due and owing or (ii) the Formula Amount. 

(b) The aggregate balance of FILO Advances outstanding at any time shall not exceed the Maximum FILO Borrowing Amount. 

2.6. Repayment of Advances. 

(a) The Revolving Advances, FILO Advances and Swing Loans shall be due and payable in full on the last day of the Term subject to earlier
prepayment as herein provided. 
 (b) Each Borrower recognizes that the amounts evidenced by checks, notes, drafts or any other items of
payment relating to and/or proceeds of Collateral may not be collectible by Agent on the date received. In consideration of Agent’s agreement to conditionally credit Borrowers’ Account as of the next Business Day following Agent’s
receipt of those items of payment, each Borrower agrees that, in computing the charges under this Agreement, all items of payment shall be deemed applied by Agent on account of the Obligations one (1) Business Day after (i) the Business
Day following Agent’s receipt of such payments via wire transfer or electronic depository check or (ii) in the case of payments received by Agent in any other form, the Business Day such payment constitutes good funds in Agent’s
account; provided, however, that Agent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to credit Borrowers’ Account on the same day such remittances are received to the extent such remittances are received on the last day of each fiscal quarter.
Agent is not, however, required to credit Borrowers’ Account for the amount of any item of payment which is unsatisfactory to Agent and Agent may charge Borrowers’ Account for the amount of any item of payment which is returned to Agent
unpaid. 
 (c) All payments of principal, interest and other amounts payable hereunder, or under any of the Other Documents shall be made to
Agent at the Payment Office by wire transfer not later than 1:00 P.M. (New York time) on the due date therefor in lawful money of the United States of America in federal funds or other funds immediately available to Agent. Agent shall have the right
to effectuate payment on any and all Obligations due and owing hereunder by charging Borrowers’ Account or by making Advances as provided in Section 2.2 hereof. 

(d) Borrowers shall pay principal, interest, and all other amounts payable hereunder, or under any related agreement, without any deduction
whatsoever, including, but not limited to, any deduction for any setoff or counterclaim. 

  
 41 








 2.7. Repayment of Excess Advances. 

(a) If at any time the aggregate balance of outstanding Revolving Advances and/or Swing Loans exceeds the maximum amount of such type of
Advances (as applicable) permitted hereunder, such excess Advances shall be immediately due and payable without the necessity of any demand, at the Payment Office, whether or not a Default or Event of Default has occurred. 

(b) If at any time the FILO Advances exceed the FILO Borrowing Base at such time, the FILO Reserve shall be established under the Formula
Amount in an aggregate amount equal to such excess. 
 2.8. Statement of Account. Agent shall maintain, in accordance with its
customary procedures, a loan account (“Borrowers’ Account”) in the name of Borrowers in which shall be recorded the date and amount of each Advance made by Agent and the date and amount of each payment in respect
thereof; provided, however, the failure by Agent to record the date and amount of any Advance shall not adversely affect Agent or any Lender. Each month, Agent shall send to Borrowing Agent a statement showing the accounting for the Advances made,
payments made or credited in respect thereof, and other transactions between Agent and Borrowers during such month. The monthly statements shall be deemed correct and binding upon Borrowers in the absence of manifest error and shall constitute an
account stated between Lenders and Borrowers unless Agent receives a written statement of Borrowers’ specific exceptions thereto within thirty (30) days after such statement is received by Borrowing Agent. The records of Agent with respect
to the loan account shall be conclusive evidence absent manifest error of the amounts of Advances and other charges thereto and of payments applicable thereto. 

2.9. Letters of Credit. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Agent shall issue or cause the issuance of standby and/or trade
Letters of Credit (“Letters of Credit”) for the account of any Borrower; provided, however, that Agent will not be required to issue or cause to be issued any Letters of Credit to the extent that the issuance thereof would then
cause the sum of (i) the outstanding Revolving Advances and Swing Loans plus (ii) the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit to exceed the lesser of (x) the Maximum Revolving Loan Amount less the outstanding
balance of any Fuel Taxes that are due and owing or (y) the Formula Amount (calculated without giving effect to the deductions provided for in Section 2.1(a)(y)(v)). The Maximum Undrawn Amount of outstanding Letters of Credit shall not
exceed in the aggregate at any time the Letter of Credit Sublimit. All disbursements or payments related to Letters of Credit shall be deemed to be Domestic Rate Loans consisting of Revolving Advances and shall bear interest at the Revolving
Interest Rate for Domestic Rate Loans; Letters of Credit that have not been drawn upon shall not bear interest. 
 2.10. Issuance of
Letters of Credit. 
 (a) Borrowing Agent, on behalf of Borrowers, may request Agent to issue or cause the issuance of a Letter of Credit
by delivering to Agent at the Payment Office, prior to 10:00 a.m. (New York time), at least five (5) Business Days’ prior to the proposed date of issuance, Agent’s form of Letter of Credit Application (the “Letter of Credit
Application”) completed to the satisfaction of Agent; and, such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as Agent may reasonably request. Borrowing Agent, on behalf of Borrowers,


  
 42 








 
also has the right to give instructions and make agreements with respect to any application, any applicable letter of credit and security agreement, any applicable letter of credit reimbursement
agreement and/or any other applicable agreement, any letter of credit and the disposition of documents, disposition of any unutilized funds, and to agree with Agent upon any amendment, extension or renewal of any Letter of Credit. 

(b) Each Letter of Credit shall, among other things, (i) provide for the payment of sight drafts, other written demands for payment, or
acceptances of usance drafts when presented for honor thereunder in accordance with the terms thereof and when accompanied by the documents described therein and (ii) have an expiry date not later than twelve (12) months after such Letter
of Credit’s date of issuance and in no event later than the last day of the Term. Each standby Letter of Credit shall be subject either to the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits as most recently published by the International
Chamber of Commerce at the time the Letter of Credit is issued (“UCP”) or the International Standby Practices (ISP98-International Chamber of Commerce Publication Number 590) (“ISP98 Rules”), and any subsequent
revision thereof at the time a standby Letter of Credit is issued, as determined by Agent, and each trade Letter of Credit shall be subject to the UCP. 

(c) Agent shall use its reasonable efforts to notify Lenders of the request by Borrowing Agent for a Letter of Credit hereunder. 

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 2.10(b) or any other provision of this Agreement, Borrowers may request
and Agent (or any other Issuer) may issue Letters of Credit (and/or renewals or extensions of existing Letters of Credit) under this Agreement with an expiry date that extends beyond the last day of the Term as then in effect when such Letter of
Credit (or the extension or renewal thereof) is requested (any such Letter of Credit so issued, renewed or extended, a “Post-Term Letter of Credit”), subject to all other existing terms and conditions of and provisions in this
Agreement regarding Letters of Credit, including any terms, conditions and provisions regarding the requesting and issuance thereof, but provided that, under no circumstances may any such Post-Term Letter of Credit as so issued, renewed or extended
have an expiry date later than the twelve-month anniversary of the last day of the Term as in effect when such Post-Term Letter of Credit is so issued, renewed or extended. 

(e) All of the obligations, liabilities and indebtedness of any kind or nature of Borrowers with respect to any and all such Post-Term Letter
of Credits (including all reimbursement obligations and obligations to pay Letter of Credit Fees and obligations to pay interest in respect of any disbursement made by Agent in connection with a drawing under a Post-Term Letter of Credit that is not
immediately reimbursed by Borrowers (including any such fees, charges and interest accruing thereon after the last day of the Term, or after the filing of any petition in bankruptcy, or the commencement of any insolvency, reorganization or like
proceeding relating to Borrowers, whether or not a claim for post-filing or post-petition fees, charges and interest is allowed in such proceeding)) (any such obligations, liabilities and indebtedness, the “Post-Term Letter of Credit
Obligations”) shall remain Obligations of Borrowers secured by the Collateral pursuant to the Liens created under this Agreement and the Other Documents both prior to and after the expiration of the Term, and Agent and Lenders shall have no
obligations to release any Liens on the Collateral notwithstanding the overall termination of this Agreement and of the commitments of the Lenders with respect to Revolving 

  
 43 








 
Advances, until such time as the last such Post-Term Letter of Credit shall have expired or terminated or shall been fully drawn and all Post-Term Letter of Credit Obligations (other than
contingent indemnities and expense reimbursement obligations to the extent no claim therefore has been made, or is reasonably expected to be made) have been paid in full in cash, provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, on the last day of the
Term, Borrowers shall provide cash collateral (any such cash collateral, the “Post-Term Cash Collateral”) to Agent to be held as security for such Post-Term Letter of Credit Obligations (and Borrowers hereby grant to Agent a Lien
and security interest in any such Post-Term Cash Collateral so provided) in an amount equal to one hundred and ten percent (110%) of the then-outstanding undrawn face amount of all such Post-Term Letters of Credit plus the amount of all Letter of
Credit Fees that would accrue with respect to such Post-Term Letters of Credit from and after the last day of the Term through the expiry date as then in effect for each such Post Term Letter of Credit, and in such event, if all other Obligations
(other than contingent indemnities and expense reimbursement obligations to the extent no claim therefore has been made, or is reasonably expected to be made) have been paid in full in cash, Agent and Lenders will agree to release the Liens and
security interests on all other Collateral (subject to customary payoff releases and indemnities) in accordance with this Agreement. Agent will invest such cash collateral (less applicable reserves) in such short-term money-market items as to which
Agent and Borrowers mutually agree and the net return on such investments shall be credited to such account and constitute additional cash collateral. Borrowers agree that upon the coming due of any such Post-Term Letter of Credit obligations, Agent
shall use such Post-Term Cash Collateral to pay and satisfy such Post-Term Letter of Credit Obligations. 
 (f) Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained in this Agreement and/or the overall termination of this Agreement on the last day of the Term (subject to the survival of the provisions thereof that survive the termination of this Agreement by the terms thereof), all of the
applicable provisions of Article II, Sections 2.9, 2.10, 2.11 and Section 3.2 of this Agreement, any Letter of Credit application for any Post-Term Letter of Credit and any other documents executed by and/or between Borrowers, Agent and/or
Issuer with respect to any Post-Term Letter of Credit (other than any provisions giving Borrowers the right or ability to request that additional Letters of Credit be issued or that existing Letters of Credit be renewed or extended) shall survive
the termination of this Agreement on the last day of the Term for the benefit of Agent and Lenders (but not for the benefit of Borrowers), and Borrowers shall remain bound thereby, including without limitation of the obligations under
Section 3.2 of this Agreement for Borrowers to pay Letter of Credit Fees to Agent and Issuer with respect to any Post-Term Letter of Credit for so long as each Post-Term Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding and the obligations under
Section 2.9 for Borrowers to pay interest on any disbursements or payments made by Agent and/or Issuer relating to any Post-Term Letter of Credit until reimbursed. 

(g) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed under any circumstances as an agreement by Agent and/or Lenders to extend the Term
or require or obligate in any way Agent, Lenders and/or Issuer to make any Revolving Advances or to issue any new Letters of Credit (or extend or renew any existing Letters of Credit) on or after the last day of the Term. 

  
 44 








 2.11. Requirements For Issuance of Letters of Credit. 

(a) Borrowing Agent shall authorize and direct any Issuer to name the applicable Borrower as the “Applicant” or “Account
Party” of each Letter of Credit. If Agent is not the Issuer of any Letter of Credit, Borrowing Agent shall authorize and direct the Issuer to deliver to Agent all instruments, documents, and other writings and property received by the Issuer
pursuant to the Letter of Credit and to accept and rely upon Agent’s instructions and agreements with respect to all matters arising in connection with the Letter of Credit, the application therefor. 

(b) In connection with all Letters of Credit issued or caused to be issued by Agent under this Agreement, each Borrower hereby appoints Agent,
or its designee, as its attorney, with full power and authority if an Event of Default shall have occurred, (i) to sign and/or endorse such Borrower’s name upon any warehouse or other receipts, letter of credit applications and
acceptances, (ii) to sign such Borrower’s name on bills of lading; (iii) to clear Inventory through the United States of America Customs Department (“Customs”) in the name of such Borrower or Agent or Agent’s
designee, and to sign and deliver to Customs officials powers of attorney in the name of Borrower for such purpose; and (iv) to complete in such Borrower’s name or Agent’s, or in the name of Agent’s designee, any order, sale or
transaction, obtain the necessary documents in connection therewith, and collect the proceeds thereof. Neither Agent nor its attorneys will be liable for any acts or omissions nor for any error of judgment or mistakes of fact or law, except for
Agent’s or its attorney’s willful misconduct. This power, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable as long as any Letters of Credit remain outstanding. 

2.12. Disbursements, Reimbursement. 

(a) Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees
to, purchase from Agent a participation in such Letter of Credit and each drawing thereunder in an amount equal to such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of the Maximum Face Amount of such Letter of Credit and the amount of such drawing,
respectively. 
 (b) In the event of any request for a drawing under a Letter of Credit by the beneficiary or transferee thereof, Agent will
promptly notify Borrowing Agent. Provided that Borrowing Agent shall have received such notice, the Borrowers shall reimburse (such obligation to reimburse Agent shall sometimes be referred to as a “Reimbursement Obligation”) Agent prior
to 12:00 Noon, New York time on each date that an amount is paid by Agent under any Letter of Credit (each such date, a “Drawing Date”) in an amount equal to the amount so paid by Agent. In the event Borrowers fail to reimburse
Agent for the full amount of any drawing under any Letter of Credit by 12:00 Noon, New York time, on the Drawing Date, Agent will promptly notify each Lender thereof, and Borrowers shall be deemed to have requested that a Domestic Rate Loan be made
by the Lenders to be disbursed on the Drawing Date under such Letter of Credit, subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the lesser of the Maximum Revolving Loan Amount, less the Maximum Undrawn Amount or the Formula Amount and subject to
Section 8.2 hereof. Any notice given by Agent pursuant to this Section 2.12(b) may be oral if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect
of such notice. 

  
 45 








 (c) Each Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.12(b) make available to Agent an
amount in immediately available funds equal to its Revolving Commitment Percentage of the amount of the drawing, whereupon the participating Lenders shall (subject to Section 2.12(d)) each be deemed to have made a Domestic Rate Loan to
Borrowers in that amount. If any Lender so notified fails to make available to Agent the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of such amount by no later than 2:00 p.m., New York time on the Drawing Date, then interest shall
accrue on such Lender’s obligation to make such payment, from the Drawing Date to the date on which such Lender makes such payment (i) at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate during the first three days
following the Drawing Date and (ii) at a rate per annum equal to the rate applicable to Domestic Rate Loans on and after the fourth day following the Drawing Date. Agent will promptly give notice of the occurrence of the Drawing Date, but
failure of Agent to give any such notice on the Drawing Date or in sufficient time to enable any Lender to effect such payment on such date shall not relieve such Lender from its obligation under this Section 2.12(c), provided that such Lender
shall not be obligated to pay interest as provided in Section 2.12(c) (i) and (ii) until and commencing from the date of receipt of notice from Agent of a drawing. 

(d) With respect to any unreimbursed drawing that is not converted into a Domestic Rate Loan to Borrowers in whole or in part as contemplated
by Section 2.12(b), because of Borrowers’ failure to satisfy the conditions set forth in Section 8.2 (other than any notice requirements) or for any other reason, Borrowers shall be deemed to have incurred from Agent a borrowing (each
a “Letter of Credit Borrowing”) in the amount of such drawing. Such Letter of Credit Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the rate per annum applicable to a Domestic Rate
Loan. Each Lender’s payment to Agent pursuant to Section 2.12(c) shall be deemed to be a payment in respect of its participation in such Letter of Credit Borrowing and shall constitute a “Participation Advance” from such Lender
in satisfaction of its Participation Commitment under this Section 2.12. 
 (e) Each Lender’s Participation Commitment shall
continue until the last to occur of any of the following events: (w) with respect to any Post-Term Letters of Credit, all such Post-Term Letters of Credit have been cash collateralized as required by this Agreement, including, without
limitation, pursuant to Section 2.10(e), (x) Agent ceases to be obligated to issue or cause to be issued Letters of Credit hereunder; (y) no Letter of Credit issued or created hereunder remains outstanding and uncancelled; and (z) all
Persons (other than the Borrowers) have been fully reimbursed for all payments made under or relating to Letters of Credit. 
 2.13.
Repayment of Participation Advances. 
 (a) Upon (and only upon) receipt by Agent for its account of immediately available funds from
Borrowers (i) in reimbursement of any payment made by the Agent under the Letter of Credit with respect to which any Lender has made a Participation Advance to Agent, or (ii) in payment of interest on such a payment made by Agent under
such a Letter of Credit, Agent will pay to each Lender, in the same funds as those received by Agent, the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of such funds, except Agent shall retain the amount of the Revolving Commitment
Percentage of such funds of any Lender that did not make a Participation Advance in respect of such payment by Agent (and, to the extent that any of the other Lender(s) holding a Revolving Commitment have funded any portion of such Defaulting
Lender’s Participation Advance in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.23, Agent will pay over to such Non-Defaulting Lenders a pro rata portion of the funds so withheld from such Defaulting
Lender). 

  
 46 








 (b) If Agent is required at any time to return to any Borrower, or to a trustee, receiver,
liquidator, custodian, or any official in any insolvency proceeding, any portion of the payments made by Borrowers to Agent pursuant to Section 2.13(a) in reimbursement of a payment made under the Letter of Credit or interest or fee thereon,
each Lender shall, on demand of Agent, forthwith return to Agent the amount of its Revolving Commitment Percentage of any amounts so returned by Agent plus interest at the Federal Funds Effective Rate. 

2.14. Documentation. Each Borrower agrees to be bound by the terms of the Letter of Credit Application and by Agent’s
interpretations of any Letter of Credit issued on behalf of such Borrower and by Agent’s written regulations and customary practices relating to letters of credit, though Agent’s interpretations may be different from such Borrower’s
own. In the event of a conflict between the Letter of Credit Application and this Agreement, this Agreement shall govern. It is understood and agreed that, except in the case of gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment), Agent shall not be liable for any error, negligence and/or mistakes, whether of omission or commission, in following the Borrowing Agent’s or
any Borrower’s instructions or those contained in the Letters of Credit or any modifications, amendments or supplements thereto. 

2.15. Determination to Honor Drawing Request. In determining whether to honor any request for drawing under any Letter of Credit by the
beneficiary thereof, Agent shall be responsible only to determine that the documents and certificates required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit have been delivered and that they comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of
Credit and that any other drawing condition appearing on the face of such Letter of Credit has been satisfied in the manner so set forth. 

2.16. Nature of Participation and Reimbursement Obligations. Each Lender’s obligation in accordance with this Agreement to make the
Revolving Advances or Participation Advances as a result of a drawing under a Letter of Credit, and the obligations of Borrowers to reimburse Agent upon a draw under a Letter of Credit, shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be
performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.16 under all circumstances (other than the obligation to make Revolving Advances or Participation Advances by any Lender as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct
of Agent), including the following circumstances: 
 (i) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment,
defense or other right which such Lender may have against Agent, any Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; 
 (ii) the
failure of any Borrower or any other Person to comply, in connection with a Letter of Credit Borrowing, with the conditions set forth in this Agreement for the making of a Revolving Advance, it being acknowledged that such conditions are not
required for the making of a Letter of Credit Borrowing and the obligation of the Lenders to make Participation Advances under Section 2.12; 

  
 47 








 (iii) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit; 

(iv) any claim of breach of warranty that might be made by Borrower or any Lender against the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit, or the
existence of any claim, set-off, recoupment, counterclaim, crossclaim, defense or other right which any Borrower or any Lender may have at any time against a beneficiary, any successor beneficiary or any
transferee of any Letter of Credit or the proceeds thereof (or any Persons for whom any such transferee may be acting), Agent or any Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated herein or any
unrelated transaction (including any underlying transaction between any Borrower or any Subsidiaries of such Borrower and the beneficiary for which any Letter of Credit was procured); 

(v) the lack of power or authority of any signer of (or any defect in or forgery of any signature or endorsement on) or the form of or lack of
validity, sufficiency, accuracy, enforceability or genuineness of any draft, demand, instrument, certificate or other document presented under or in connection with any Letter of Credit, or any fraud or alleged fraud in connection with any Letter of
Credit, or the transport of any property or provisions of services relating to a Letter of Credit, in each case even if Agent or any of Agent’s Affiliates has been notified thereof; 

(vi) payment by Agent under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a demand, draft or certificate or other document which does not
comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; 
 (vii) the solvency of, or any acts or omissions by, any beneficiary of any Letter of
Credit, or any other Person having a role in any transaction or obligation relating to a Letter of Credit, or the existence, nature, quality, quantity, condition, value or other characteristic of any property or services relating to a Letter of
Credit; 
 (viii) any failure by the Agent or any of Agent’s Affiliates to issue any Letter of Credit in the form requested by
Borrowing Agent, unless the Agent has received written notice from Borrowing Agent of such failure within three (3) Business Days after the Agent shall have furnished Borrowing Agent a copy of such Letter of Credit and such error is material
and no drawing has been made thereon prior to receipt of such notice; 
 (ix) any Material Adverse Effect on any Borrower or any Guarantor;

 (x) any breach of this Agreement or any Other Document by any party thereto; 

(xi) the occurrence or continuance of an insolvency proceeding with respect to any Borrower or any Guarantor; 

(xii) the fact that a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; 

  
 48 








 (xiii) the fact that the Term shall have expired or this Agreement or the Obligations hereunder
shall have been terminated; and 
 (xiv) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

 2.17. Indemnity. In addition to amounts payable as provided in Section 16.5, each Borrower hereby agrees to protect,
indemnify, pay and save harmless Agent, any of Agent’s Affiliates and Issuer that have issued a Letter of Credit from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, taxes, penalties, interest, judgments, losses, costs, charges
and expenses (including reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel and allocated costs of internal counsel) which the Agent, any of Agent’s Affiliates or Issuer may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of the
issuance of any Letter of Credit, other than as a result of (a) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent or Issuer as determined by a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of
competent jurisdiction or (b) the wrongful dishonor by the Agent. any of Agent’s Affiliates or Issuer of a proper demand for payment made under any Letter of Credit, except if such dishonor resulted from any act or omission, whether
rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto Governmental Body (all such acts or omissions herein called “Governmental Acts”). 

2.18. Liability for Acts and Omissions. As between Borrowers and Agent, Swing Loan Lender and Lenders, each Borrower assumes all risks
of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of the Letters of Credit by, the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the respective foregoing, Agent shall not be responsible for: (i) the form,
validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for an issuance of any such Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects
invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged (even if Agent shall have been notified thereof); (ii) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any such Letter of Credit or
the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) the failure of the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit, or any other party to which such Letter
of Credit may be transferred, to comply fully with any conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit or any other claim of any Borrower against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit, or any such transferee, or any dispute
between or among any Borrower and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any such transferee; (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, facsimile, telex or otherwise,
whether or not they be in cipher; (v) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any such Letter of Credit or of the
proceeds thereof; (vii) the misapplication by the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; or (viii) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of Agent, including
any governmental acts, and none of the above shall affect or impair, or prevent the vesting of, any of Agent’s rights or powers hereunder. Nothing in the preceding sentence shall relieve Agent from liability for Agent’s gross negligence or
willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment) in connection with actions or omissions described in such clauses (i) through (viii) of such
sentence. In no event shall Agent or Agent’s Affiliates be liable to any Borrower for any indirect, consequential, incidental, punitive, exemplary or special damages or expenses (including without limitation attorneys’ fees), or for any
damages resulting from any change in the value of any property relating to a Letter of Credit. 

  
 49 








 Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Agent and each of its Affiliates (i) may
rely on any oral or other communication believed in good faith by Agent or such Affiliate to have been authorized or given by or on behalf of the applicant for a Letter of Credit, (ii) may honor any presentation if the documents presented
appear on their face substantially to comply with the terms and conditions of the relevant Letter of Credit; (iii) may honor a previously dishonored presentation under a Letter of Credit, whether such dishonor was pursuant to a court order, to
settle or compromise any claim of wrongful dishonor, or otherwise, and shall be entitled to reimbursement to the same extent as if such presentation had initially been honored, together with any interest paid by Agent or its Affiliates;
(iv) may honor any drawing that is payable upon presentation of a statement advising negotiation or payment, upon receipt of such statement (even if such statement indicates that a draft or other document is being delivered separately), and
shall not be liable for any failure of any such draft or other document to arrive, or to conform in any way with the relevant Letter of Credit; (v) may pay any paying or negotiating bank claiming that it rightfully honored under the laws or
practices of the place where such bank is located; and (vi) may settle or adjust any claim or demand made on Agent or its Affiliate in any way related to any order issued at the applicant’s request to an air carrier, a letter of guarantee
or of indemnity issued to a carrier or any similar document (each an “Order”) and honor any drawing in connection with any Letter of Credit that is the subject of such Order, notwithstanding that any drafts or other documents
presented in connection with such Letter of Credit fail to conform in any way with such Letter of Credit. 
 In furtherance and extension
and not in limitation of the specific provisions set forth above, any action taken or omitted by Agent under or in connection with the Letters of Credit issued by it or any documents and certificates delivered thereunder, if taken or omitted in good
faith and without gross negligence (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment), shall not put Agent under any resulting liability to any Borrower or any Lender. 

2.19. Additional Payments. Any sums expended by Agent or any Lender due to any Borrower’s failure to perform or comply with its
obligations under this Agreement or any Other Document including any Borrower’s obligations under Sections 4.2, 4.4, 4.12, 4.13, 4.14 and 6.1 hereof, may be charged to Borrowers’ Account as a Revolving Advance or FILO Advances, as
applicable, and added to the Obligations. 
 2.20. Manner of Borrowing and Payment. 

(a) Each borrowing of Revolving Advances shall be advanced according to the applicable Revolving Commitment Percentages of Lenders. Each
borrowing of FILO Advances shall be advanced according to the applicable FILO Commitment Percentages of FILO Lenders. 

  
 50 








 (b) Each payment (including each prepayment) by any Borrower on account of the principal of and
interest on the Revolving Advances, and FILO Advances shall be applied first to the outstanding Swing Loans, second to the outstanding Revolving Advances pro rata according to the applicable Revolving Commitment Percentages of Lenders and third to
the outstanding FILO Advances pro rata according to the applicable FILO Commitment Percentages of the Lenders. Except as expressly provided herein, all payments (including prepayments) to be made by any Borrower on account of principal, interest and
fees shall be made without set off or counterclaim and shall be made to Agent on behalf of Lenders to the Payment Office, in each case on or prior to 1:00 P.M., New York time, in Dollars and in immediately available funds. 

(c) (i) Unless Agent has elected to make a Swing Loan in accordance with this Agreement, promptly after receipt by Agent of a request for a
Revolving Advance or FILO Advance, as applicable, pursuant to Section 2.2(a), Agent shall notify Lenders of its receipt of such request specifying the information provided by Borrowing Agent and the apportionment among Lenders of the requested
Revolving Advance or FILO Advance, as applicable, as determined by Agent. Each Lender shall remit the principal amount of each Revolving Advance or FILO Advance, as applicable, to Agent such that Agent is able to, and Agent shall, to the extent
Lenders have made funds available to it for such purpose and subject to Section 8.2, fund such Revolving Advance or FILO Advances, as applicable, to Borrower in U.S. Dollars and immediately available funds at the Payment Office prior to 1:00
p.m. central time, on the applicable borrowing date; provided that if any Lender fails to remit such funds to Agent in a timely manner, Agent may elect in its sole discretion to fund with its own funds the Revolving Advance or FILO
Advances of such Lender on such borrowing date, and such Lender shall be subject to the repayment obligation in Section 2.20(c)(ii). 

(ii) Unless Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Revolving Advance or FILO Advance that such
Lender will not make available to Agent such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of such Revolving Advance or such Lender’s FILO Commitment Percentage of such FILO Advance, as applicable, Agent may assume that such Lender has made
such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.20(c)(i) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable
Revolving Advance or FILO Advance available to Agent, then the applicable Lender and Borrowers severally agree to pay to Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount
is made available to Borrowers to but excluding the date of payment to Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by Agent in accordance with banking
industry rules on interbank compensation, and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Revolving Advances consisting of Domestic Rate Loans or FILO Advances consisting of Domestic Rate Loans, as
applicable. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Revolving Advance or FILO Advance, as applicable, to Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving Advance or FILO Advance, as applicable. Any payment by
Borrowers shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrowers may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to Agent. 

(iii) So long as Swing Loan Lender elects to make Swing Loans, Swing Loan Lender shall, after receipt by it of a Swing Loan Request pursuant
to Section 2.4(b), fund such Swing Loan to Borrower in U.S. Dollars and immediately available funds at the Payment Office prior to 12:00 p.m. New York time, on the borrowing date. 

  
 51 








 (iv) PNC shall request settlement with Lenders at least once a week or on any date that PNC
elects, by notifying Lenders of such requested settlement by facsimile, telephone or electronic transmission no later than 12:00 p.m., New York time on the date of such requested settlement and each Lender shall make a Revolving Advance or FILO
Advance, as applicable, in an amount equal to such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage or FILO Commitment Percentage, as applicable, of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Swing Loans, plus, if PNC so requests, accrued
interest thereon, provided that no Lender shall be obligated in any event to make Revolving Advances or FILO Advances, as applicable, in an amount in excess of its Revolving Commitment Amount or FILO Commitment Percentage, as applicable. Revolving
Advances or FILO Advances made pursuant to the preceding sentence shall bear interest at the interest rate applicable to Revolving Advances consisting of Domestic Rate Loans or FILO Advances consisting of Domestic Rate Loans, as applicable, and
shall be deemed to have been properly requested in accordance with Section 2.2(a) without regard to any of the requirements of that provision. PNC shall provide notice to Lenders (which may be telephonic or written notice by letter, facsimile
or telex) that such Revolving Advances or FILO Advances are to be made under this Section 2.20(c)(iv) and of the apportionment among Lenders, and Lenders shall be unconditionally obligated to fund such Revolving Advances or FILO Advances, as
applicable (whether or not the conditions specified in Section 8.2 are then satisfied) by the time PNC so requests, which shall not be earlier than 12:00 p.m. New York time, on the Business Day after the date Lenders receive such notice from
PNC. If any such amount is not transferred to PNC by any Lender on such settlement date, PNC shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon as specified in Section 2.23. 

(d) (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Sections 2.20(a) and (b) hereof, commencing with the first Business Day
following the Closing Date, each borrowing of Revolving Advances shall be advanced by Agent and each payment by any Borrower on account of Revolving Advances shall be applied first to those Revolving Advances advanced by Agent. On or before 12:00
p.m., New York time, on each Settlement Date commencing with the first Settlement Date following the Closing Date, Agent and Lenders shall make certain payments as follows (or more frequently if requested by Agent in its sole discretion): (I) if the
aggregate amount of new Revolving Advances made by Agent during the preceding Week (if any) exceeds the aggregate amount of repayments applied to outstanding Revolving Advances during such preceding Week, then upon the written notice of Agent
received prior to 12:00 p.m. New York time, each Lender shall provide Agent with funds in an amount equal to its applicable Revolving Commitment Percentage of the difference between (w) such Revolving Advances and (x) such repayments and
(II) if the aggregate amount of repayments applied to outstanding Revolving Advances during such Week exceeds the aggregate amount of new Revolving Advances made during such Week, then Agent shall provide each Lender with funds in an amount
equal to its applicable Revolving Commitment Percentage of the difference between (y) such repayments and (z) such Revolving Advances. 

(ii) Each Lender shall be entitled to earn interest at the applicable Contract Rate on outstanding Advances which it has funded. 

  
 52 








 (iii) Promptly following each Settlement Date, Agent shall submit to each Lender a certificate
with respect to payments received and Advances made during the Week immediately preceding such Settlement Date. Such certificate of Agent shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. 

(e) If any Lender or Participant (a “Benefited Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of its Advances,
or interest thereon, or receive Collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily or by set-off) in a greater proportion than any such payment to and Collateral received by any other Lender,
if any, in respect of such other Lender’s Advances, or interest thereon, and such greater proportionate payment or receipt of Collateral is not expressly permitted hereunder, such Benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders
a participation in such portion of each such other Lender’s Advances, or shall provide such other Lender with the benefits of any such Collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefited Lender to share the excess
payment or benefits of such Collateral or proceeds ratably with each of the other Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefited Lender, such purchase shall be
rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. Each Lender so purchasing a portion of another Lender’s Advances may exercise all rights of payment (including rights of set-off) with respect to such portion as fully as if such Lender were the direct holder of such portion. 

(f) Unless Agent shall have been notified by telephone, confirmed in writing, by any Lender that such Lender will not make the amount which
would constitute its applicable Revolving Commitment Percentage or FILO Commitment Percentage, as applicable, of the Advances available to Agent, Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) assume that such Lender shall make such amount available to
Agent on the next Settlement Date and, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrowers a corresponding amount. Agent will promptly notify Borrowing Agent of its receipt of any such notice from a Lender. If such amount is made available
to Agent on a date after such next Settlement Date, such Lender shall pay to Agent on demand an amount equal to the product of (i) the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days) during such period
as quoted by Agent, times (ii) such amount, times (iii) the number of days from and including such Settlement Date to the date on which such amount becomes immediately available to Agent. A certificate of Agent submitted to any Lender with
respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph (e) shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error. If such amount is not in fact made available to Agent by such Lender within three (3) Business Days after such Settlement Date,
Agent shall be entitled to recover such an amount, with interest thereon at the rate per annum then applicable to such Revolving Advances hereunder, on demand from Borrowers; provided, however, that Agent’s right to such recovery shall not
prejudice or otherwise adversely affect Borrowers’ rights (if any) against such Lender. 
 2.21. Mandatory Prepayments. 

(a) Subject to Section 4.3 hereof, when any Borrower sells or otherwise disposes of any Collateral other than Inventory in the Ordinary
Course of Business, Borrowers shall repay the Advances, subject to the right to reborrow hereunder, in an amount equal to the net proceeds of such sale (i.e., gross proceeds less the reasonable costs of such sales or other


  
 53 








 
dispositions), such repayments to be made promptly but in no event more than one (1) Business Day following receipt of such net proceeds, and until the date of payment, such proceeds shall
be held in trust for Agent pursuant to an express trust hereby, separate and segregated from all other funds, assets and property of Borrowers. The foregoing shall not be deemed to be implied consent to any such sale otherwise prohibited by the
terms and conditions hereof. Repayments under this paragraph (a) shall be applied first, to the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Advances and Swing Loans (in the order determined by Agent) second, to be held by Agent
as cash collateral to the extent of any outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations and third, to the outstanding principal balance of the FILO Advances, provided that, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default, such repayments shall be applied to the Advances and the other Obligations in such order as Agent may determine in its sole discretion. 

(b) Upon either (i) the issuance and/or incurrence of any Indebtedness for borrowed money (other than Indebtedness permitted in accordance
with the provisions of Section 7.8) by any Borrower or (ii) the issuance of any additional Equity Interests (other than Equity Interests issued to employees, officers or directors of any Borrower) or receipt of any additional capital
contributions by any Borrower, Borrowers shall repay the Advances, subject to the right to reborrow hereunder, in an amount equal to the net cash proceeds of such issuance, incurrence and/or capital contribution (i.e., gross proceeds less the
reasonable costs of such issuance, incurrence and/or capital contribution), such repayments to be made promptly but in no event more than one (1) Business Day following receipt of such net cash proceeds, and until the date of payment, such
proceeds shall be held in trust for Agent pursuant to an express trust hereby, separate and segregated from all other funds, assets and property of Borrowers. The foregoing shall not be deemed to be implied consent to any such issuance and/or
incurrence of Indebtedness or issuance of additional Equity Interests otherwise prohibited by the terms and conditions hereof (to the extent, if any, of any such prohibition contained herein). Repayments under this subparagraph (b) shall
be applied first, to the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Advances and Swing Loans (in the order determined by Agent), second, to be held by Agent as cash collateral to the extent of any outstanding Letter of Credit
Obligations and third, to the outstanding principal balance of the FILO Advances, provided that, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, such repayments shall be applied to the Advances and
the other Obligations in such order as Agent may determine in its sole discretion. 
 2.22. Use of Proceeds. 

(a) Borrowers shall apply the proceeds of Advances to (i) pay fees and expenses relating to this transaction and (ii) provide for its
working capital needs and reimburse drawings under Letters of Credit. 
 (b) Without limiting the generality of Section 2.22(a) above,
neither the Borrowers, the Guarantors nor any other Person which may in the future become party to this Agreement or the Other Documents as a Borrower or Guarantor, intends to use nor shall they use any portion of the proceeds of the Advances,
directly or indirectly, for any purpose in violation of Applicable Law or to fund any activities of or business with any Person, or in any Sanctioned Country that, at the time of such funding of the Advance or issuance of the Letter of Credit, is
the subject of any Sanctions. 

  
 54 








 2.23. Defaulting Lender. 

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, all rights and obligations
hereunder of such Defaulting Lender and of the other parties hereto shall be modified to the extent of the express provisions of this Section 2.23 so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender. 

(b) (i) Except as otherwise expressly provided for in this Section 2.23, (A) Revolving Advances shall be made pro rata from Lenders
holding Revolving Commitments which are not Defaulting Lenders based on their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages, and no Revolving Commitment Percentage of any Lender or any pro rata share of any Revolving Advances required to be advanced
by any Lender shall be increased as a result of any Lender being a Defaulting Lender and (B) FILO Advances shall be made pro rata from Lenders holding FILO Commitments which are not Defaulting Lenders based on their respective FILO Commitment
Percentages, and no FILO Commitment Percentage of any Lender or any pro rata share of any FILO Advances required to be advanced by any Lender shall be increased as a result of any Lender being a Defaulting Lender. Amounts received in respect of
principal of any type of (X) Revolving Advances shall be applied to reduce such type of Revolving Advances of each Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender) holding a Revolving Commitment in accordance with their Revolving Commitment
Percentages and (Y) FILO Advances shall be applied to reduce such type of FILO Advances of each Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender) holding a FILO Commitment in accordance with their FILO Commitment Percentages; provided,
that, Agent shall not be obligated to transfer to a Defaulting Lender any payments received by Agent for the Defaulting Lender’s benefit, nor shall a Defaulting Lender be entitled to the sharing of any payments hereunder (including any
principal, interest or fees). Amounts payable to a Defaulting Lender shall instead be paid to or retained by Agent. Agent may hold and, in its discretion, re-lend to a Borrower the amount of such payments
received or retained by it for the account of such Defaulting Lender. 
 (ii) Fees pursuant to Section 3.3 hereof shall cease to accrue
in favor of such Defaulting Lender. 
 (iii) If any Letter of Credit Obligations (or drawings under any Letter of Credit for which the
Issuer has not been reimbursed) are outstanding or exist at the time any such Lender holding a Revolving Commitment becomes a Defaulting Lender, then: 

(A) the Defaulting Lender’s Participation Commitment of the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit
shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders holding Revolving Commitments in proportion to the respective Revolving Commitment Percentages of such
Non-Defaulting Lenders to the extent (but only to the extent) that (x) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate sum of outstanding Revolving Advances made by any such
Non-Defaulting Lender holding a Revolving Commitment plus such Lender’s reallocated Participation Commitment in the aggregate Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit to exceed the
Revolving Commitment Amount of any such Non-Defaulting Lender, and (y) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at such time; 

  
 55 








 (B) if the reallocation described in clause (A) above cannot, or can only
partially, be effected, the Borrowers shall within one Business Day following notice by the Agent cash collateralize for the benefit of the Issuer the Borrowers’ obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s Participation
Commitment in the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (A) above) in accordance with Section 3.2(b) for so long as such Obligations are outstanding; 

(C) if the Borrowers cash collateralize any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Participation Commitment in the Maximum
Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit pursuant to clause (B) above, the Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 3.2(a) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving
Commitment Percentage of Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit during the period such Defaulting Lender’s Participation Commitment in the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit are cash collateralized; 

(D) if the Defaulting Lender’s Participation Commitment in the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit is
reallocated pursuant to clause (A) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders holding Revolving Commitments pursuant to Section 3.2(a) shall be adjusted and reallocated to the Non-Defaulting
Lenders holding Revolving Commitments in accordance with such reallocation; and 
 (E) if all or any portion of such
Defaulting Lender’s Participation Commitment in the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit is neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clause (A) or (B) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of
the Issuer or any other Lender hereunder, all Letter of Credit Fees payable under Section 3.2(a) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit shall
be payable to the Issuer (and not to such Defaulting Lender) until (and then only to the extent that) such Revolving Participation Commitment in the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit is reallocated and/or cash collateralized. 

(iv) So long as any Lender holding a Revolving Commitment is a Defaulting Lender, Swing Loan Lender shall not be required to fund any Swing
Loans and the Issuer shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless such Issuer is satisfied that the related exposure and the Defaulting Lender’s Participation Commitment in the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all
Letters of Credit (after giving effect to any such issuance, amendment, increase or funding) will be fully allocated to the Non-Defaulting Lenders holding Revolving Commitments and/or cash collateral for such
Letters of Credit will be provided by the 

  
 56 








 
Borrowers in accordance with clauses (A) and (B) above, and participating interests in any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.23(b)(iii)(A) above (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein). 

(c) A Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to give instructions to Agent or to approve, disapprove, consent to or vote on any matters
relating to this Agreement and the Other Documents, and all amendments, waivers and other modifications of this Agreement and the Other Documents may be made without regard to a Defaulting Lender and, for purposes of the definition of “Required
Lenders”, a Defaulting Lender shall not be deemed to be a Lender, to have any outstanding Advances or a Total Commitment Percentage, provided, that this clause (c) shall not apply to the vote of a Defaulting Lender in the case of an
amendment, waiver or other modification described in clauses (i) or (ii) of Section 16.2(b). 
 (d) Other than as expressly set
forth in this Section 2.23, the rights and obligations of a Defaulting Lender (including the obligation to indemnify Agent) and the other parties hereto shall remain unchanged. Nothing in this Section 2.23 shall be deemed to release any
Defaulting Lender from its obligations under this Agreement and the Other Documents, shall alter such obligations, shall operate as a waiver of any default by such Defaulting Lender hereunder, or shall prejudice any rights which any Borrower, Agent
or any Lender may have against any Defaulting Lender as a result of any default by such Defaulting Lender hereunder. 
 (e) In the event that
the Agent, the Borrowers, and the Issuer agree in writing that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Agent will so notify the parties hereto, and, if such cured Defaulting
Lender is a Lender holding a Revolving Commitment, then Participation Commitments of the Lenders holding Revolving Commitments (including such cured Defaulting Lender) of the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit shall be
reallocated to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment, and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Revolving Advances of the other Lenders as the Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such
Lender to hold such Revolving Advances in accordance with its Revolving Commitment Percentage. 
 (f) If Swing Loan Lender or Issuer has a
good faith belief that any Lender holding a Revolving Commitment has defaulted in fulfilling its obligations under one or more other agreements in which such Lender commits to extend credit, Swing Loan Lender shall not be required to fund any Swing
Loans and Issuer shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless Swing Loan Lender or Issuer, as the case may be, shall have entered into arrangements with Borrowers or such Lender, satisfactory to Swing Loan Lender or
Issuer, as the case may be, to defease any risk to it in respect of such Lender hereunder. 
 2.24. Increase of the Maximum Revolving Loan
Amount by Borrowers. 
 (a) Borrowers may, by written notice to Agent, request that Agent increase the Maximum Revolving Loan Amount
(each a “Borrower Revolver Increase”) by (i) adding one or more new lenders to the revolving credit facility under this Agreement (each a “Section 2.24 New Lender”) who wish to participate in
such Borrower Revolver Increase and/or (ii) increasing 

  
 57 








 
the Revolving Commitment Amount of one or more Revolving Lenders party to this Agreement who wish to participate in such Borrower Revolver Increase; provided, however, that (w) Borrowers may
only add a Section 2.24 New Lender if, and only to the extent, there is insufficient participation on behalf of the existing Revolving Lenders, (x) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing as of the date of such
request or as of the effective date of such Borrower Revolver Increase (each a “Borrower Increase Date”) or shall occur as a result thereof, (y) any Section 2.24 New Lender that becomes party to this Agreement pursuant to
this Section 2.24 shall satisfy the requirements of Section 16.3 hereof and shall be acceptable to Agent and consented to by Borrowers and (z) the other conditions set forth in this Section 2.24 are satisfied. Agent shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to arrange for the syndication of any Borrower Revolver Increase. Agent shall promptly inform the Revolving Lenders of any such request made by Borrowers. The aggregate amount of Borrower Revolver Increases hereunder
shall not exceed $70,000,000 and no single Borrower Revolver Increase shall be for an amount less than $20,000,000. 
 (b) On a Borrower
Increase Date, (i) each Section 2.24 New Lender that has chosen to participate in such Borrower Revolver Increase shall, subject to the conditions set forth in Section 2.24(a), become a Revolving Lender party to this Agreement as of
such Borrower Increase Date and shall have a Revolving Commitment Amount in an amount equal to its share of such Borrower Revolver Increase (and its Revolving Commitment Percentage shall be equal to the percentage equivalent of a fraction the
numerator of which shall be the Revolving Commitment Amount of such Section 2.24 New Lender and the denominator of which shall be the Maximum Revolving Loan Amount after giving effect to such Borrower Revolver Increase) and (ii) each
Revolving Lender that has chosen to increase its Revolving Commitment Amount pursuant to this Section 2.24 will have its Revolving Commitment Amount increased by the amount of its share of the Borrower Revolver Increase as of such Borrower
Increase Date (and its Revolving Commitment Percentage shall be adjusted as appropriate); provided, however, that (x) Agent and each Lender participating in such Borrower Revolver Increase shall have received from Borrowers
payment of any fees and/or expenses then due with respect to such Borrower Revolver Increase and Agent shall have received from Borrowers payment of all out-of-pocket
costs and expenses incurred by Agent in connection with such Borrower Revolver Increase, and (y) Agent shall have received on or before such Borrower Increase Date the following, each dated such date: (i) an assumption agreement from each
Section 2.24 New Lender participating in such Borrower Revolver Increase, if any, in form and substance satisfactory to Agent, duly executed by such Section 2.24 New Lender, Agent and Borrowers; (ii) confirmation from each Revolving
Lender participating in such Borrower Revolver Increase of the increase in the amount of its Revolving Commitment Amount and of any change in its Revolving Commitment Percentage, in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent; (iii) a
certificate of Borrowing Agent certifying that no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or shall occur as a result of such Borrower Revolver Increase; (iv) a certificate of Borrowing Agent certifying that the
representations and warranties made by each Borrower herein and in the Other Documents are true and complete in all respects with the same force and effect as if made on and as of such date (or, to the extent any such representation or warranty
specifically relates to an earlier date, such representation or warranty is true and complete in all respects as of such earlier date); (v) supplements or modifications to this Agreement and the Other Documents and such additional Other Documents,
including any new Revolving Credit Notes to Section 2.24 New Lenders and replacement Revolving Credit Notes to Revolving Lenders that agree to participate 

  
 58 








 
in such Borrower Revolver Increase, that Agent reasonably deems necessary in order to document such Borrower Revolver Increase and otherwise assure and give effect to the rights of Agent and
Revolving Lenders in this Agreement and the Other Documents; (vi) such other documents, instruments and information as Agent or its counsel shall reasonably deem necessary in connection with such Borrower Revolver Increase;
(vii) additional fees calculated on the amount of the Borrower Revolver Increase and payable to Agent for the benefit of Lenders (including the Section 2.24 New Lenders) participating therein, and to Agent, the amount of which shall be
determined at the time of the Borrower Revolver Increase based upon the market at such time for similar transactions, which shall be mutually agreeable to Borrower and Agent and (viii) if there are in effect any mortgages on any Real Property
or any mortgages on Real Property are being obtained, such Borrower Revolver Increase shall be subject to and conditioned upon (1) the prior delivery of all flood hazard determination certificates, acknowledgements and evidence of flood
insurance and other flood insurance-related documentation with respect to such mortgaged Real Property as required by the Flood Laws and as otherwise reasonably determined by Agent and (2) Agent shall have received written confirmation from
each Lender that flood insurance due diligence and flood insurance compliance have been completed by each such Lender (such written confirmation not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). On such Borrower Increase Date, upon
fulfillment of the conditions set forth in this Section 2.24, Agent shall (i) effect a settlement of all outstanding Advances among the Revolving Lenders that will reflect the adjustments to the Revolving Commitment Percentages of the
Revolving Lenders as a result of such Borrower Revolver Increase and (ii) notify Revolving Lenders (including any Section 2.24 New Lenders) participating in such Borrower Revolver Increase and the Borrowers, on or before 12:00 noon, by
telecopier or e-mail, of the occurrence of such Borrower Revolver Increase to be effected on such Borrower Increase Date. 
  

	III.	INTEREST AND FEES. 

 3.1. Interest. Interest on Advances shall be payable in arrears on
the first day of each month with respect to Domestic Rate Loans and Overnight Eurodollar Rate Loans. Interest charges shall be computed on the actual principal amount of Advances outstanding during the month at a rate per annum equal to
(i) with respect to Revolving Advances, the applicable Revolving Interest Rate, (ii) with respect to FILO Advances, the applicable FILO Interest Rate and (iii) with respect to Swing Loans, the rate set forth in subclause (a) of
the definition of Revolving Interest Rate (as applicable, the “Contract Rate”). Whenever, subsequent to the date of this Agreement, the Alternate Base Rate or Overnight Eurodollar Rate is increased or decreased, the applicable
Contract Rate shall be similarly changed without notice or demand of any kind by an amount equal to the amount of such change in the Alternate Base Rate or Overnight Eurodollar Rate during the time such change or changes remain in effect. Upon and
after the occurrence of an Event of Default, and during the continuation thereof, at the option of Agent or at the direction of Required Lenders, the Obligations shall bear interest at the applicable Contract Rate plus two (2%) percent per
annum (the “Default Rate”). 

  
 59 








 3.2. Letter of Credit Fees. 

(a) Borrowers shall pay (x) to Agent, for the ratable benefit of Lenders, fees for each Letter of Credit for the period from and excluding
the date of issuance of same to and including the date of expiration or termination, equal to the average daily face amount of each outstanding Letter of Credit multiplied by two and one quarter percent (2.25%) per annum, such fees to be calculated
on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed and to be payable quarterly in arrears on the first day of each quarter and on the last day of the Term, and (y) to the Issuer, a
fronting fee of one quarter of one percent (0.25%) per annum times the average daily face amount of each outstanding Letter of Credit for the period from and excluding the date of issuance of the same to and including the date of expiration and
termination of the same, together with any and all administrative, issuance, amendment, payment and negotiation charges with respect to Letters of Credit and all fees and expenses as agreed upon by the Issuer and the Borrowing Agent in connection
with any Letter of Credit, including in connection with the opening, amendment or renewal of any such Letter of Credit and any acceptances created thereunder and shall reimburse Agent for any and all fees and expenses, if any, paid by Agent to the
Issuer (all of the foregoing fees, the “Letter of Credit Fees”). All such charges shall be deemed earned in full on the date when the same are due and payable hereunder and shall not be subject to rebate or pro-ration upon the termination of this Agreement for any reason. Any such charge in effect at the time of a particular transaction shall be the charge for that transaction, notwithstanding any subsequent change in
the Issuer’s prevailing charges for that type of transaction. All Letter of Credit Fees payable hereunder shall be deemed earned in full on the date when the same are due and payable hereunder and shall not be subject to rebate or pro-ration upon the termination of this Agreement for any reason. 
 (b) At any time following the
occurrence of an Event of Default or the expiration of the Term, Borrowers will cause cash to be deposited and maintained in an account with Agent, as cash collateral, in an amount equal to one hundred and ten percent (110%) of the Maximum Undrawn
Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit, and each Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes Agent, in its discretion, on such Borrower’s behalf and in such Borrower’s name, to open such an account and to make and maintain deposits
therein, or in an account opened by such Borrower, in the amounts required to be made by such Borrower, out of the proceeds of Receivables or other Collateral or out of any other funds of such Borrower coming into any Lender’s possession at any
time. Agent will invest such cash collateral (less applicable reserves) in such short-term money-market items as to which Agent and such Borrower mutually agree and the net return on such investments shall be credited to such account and constitute
additional cash collateral. No Borrower may withdraw amounts credited to any such account except upon the occurrence of all of the following: (x) payment and performance in full of all Obligations; (y) expiration of all Letters of Credit;
and (z) termination of this Agreement. 
 3.3. Facility Fee and Fee Letter. 

(a) If, for any calendar quarter during the Term, the average daily unpaid balance of the Revolving Advances and FILO Advances (and for
purposes of this calculation, all Swing Loans advanced by PNC shall be treated as Revolving Advances) and undrawn amount of any outstanding Letters of Credit for each day of such calendar quarter does not equal the Maximum Loan Amount, then
Borrowers shall pay to Agent for the ratable benefit of Lenders a fee at a rate equal to three eighths of one percent (.375%) on the amount by which the Maximum Loan Amount exceeds such average daily unpaid balance. Such fee shall be payable to
Agent in arrears on the first day of each April, July, October and January with respect to the previous three month period. 

  
 60 








 (b) Borrowers shall pay the amounts required to be paid in the Fee Letter in the manner and at
the times required by the Fee Letter. 
 3.4. Computation of Interest and Fees. Interest and fees hereunder shall be computed on the
basis of a year of 360 days (or, in the case of Domestic Rate Loans, a year of 365/366 days) and for the actual number of days elapsed. If any payment to be made hereunder becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the due date
thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and interest thereon shall be payable at the applicable Contract Rate during such extension. 

3.5. Maximum Charges. In no event whatsoever shall interest and other charges charged hereunder exceed the highest rate permissible
under law. In the event interest and other charges as computed hereunder would otherwise exceed the highest rate permitted under law, such excess amount shall be first applied to any unpaid principal balance owed by Borrowers, and if the then
remaining excess amount is greater than the previously unpaid principal balance, Lenders shall promptly refund such excess amount to Borrowers and the provisions hereof shall be deemed amended to provide for such permissible rate. 

3.6. Increased Costs. In the event that any Applicable Law, or any Change in Law or in the interpretation or application thereof, or
compliance by Swing Loan Lender, or any Lender (for purposes of this Section 3.6, the term “Lender” shall include Agent or any Lender and any corporation or bank controlling Agent, Swing Loan Lender, or any Lender) and the office or
branch where Agent, Swing Loan Lender, or any Lender (as so defined) makes or maintains any Overnight Eurodollar Rate Loans with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other financial, monetary or
other authority, shall: 
 (a) subject Agent, Swing Loan Lender, or any Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this
Agreement or any Other Document or change the basis of taxation of payments to Agent, Swing Loan Lender, or any Lender of principal, fees, interest or any other amount payable hereunder or under any Other Documents (except for changes in the rate of
tax on the overall net income of Agent, Swing Loan Lender, or any Lender by the jurisdiction in which it maintains its principal office); 

(b) impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, assessment or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits in or
for the account of, advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, any office of Agent, Swing Loan Lender or any Lender, including pursuant to Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System; or 

(c) impose on Agent, Swing Loan Lender, or any Lender or the London interbank Eurodollar market any other condition with respect to this
Agreement or any Other Document; 
 and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Agent, Swing Loan Lender or any Lender
of making, renewing or maintaining its Advances hereunder by an amount that Agent, Swing Loan Lender or such Lender deems to be material or to reduce the amount of any payment (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) in respect of any of the
Advances by an 

  
 61 








 
amount that Agent, Swing Loan Lender or such Lender deems to be material, then, in any case Borrowers shall promptly pay Agent, Swing Loan Lender or such Lender, upon its demand, such additional
amount as will compensate Agent, Swing Loan Lender or such Lender for such additional cost or such reduction, as the case may be. Agent, Swing Loan Lender or such Lender shall certify the amount of such additional cost or reduced amount to Borrowing
Agent, and such certification shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 3.7. Basis For Determining Interest Rate Inadequate or
Unfair. In the event that Agent or any Lender shall have determined that: 
 (a) reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the
Overnight Eurodollar Rate applicable pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof; or 
 (b) the making, maintenance or funding of any Overnight
Eurodollar Rate Loan has been made impracticable or unlawful by compliance by Agent or such Lender in good faith with any Applicable Law or any interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental Body or with any request or directive of any
such Governmental Body (whether or not having the force of law); or 
 (c) the Overnight Eurodollar Rate will not adequately and fairly
reflect the cost to such Lender of the establishment or maintenance of any Overnight Eurodollar Rate Loan, 
 then Agent shall give
Borrowing Agent prompt written, telephonic or telegraphic notice of such determination. If such notice is given, (i) any such requested Overnight Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be made as a Domestic Rate Loan, unless Borrowing Agent shall notify
Agent no later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) two (2) Business Days prior to the date of such proposed borrowing, that its request for such borrowing shall be cancelled, (ii) any Domestic Rate Loan which was to have been converted to
an Overnight Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be continued as or converted into a Domestic Rate Loan, or, if Borrowing Agent shall notify Agent, no later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) two (2) Business Days prior to the proposed conversion,
shall be maintained as an Overnight Eurodollar Rate Loan, and (iii) any outstanding affected Overnight Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be converted into a Domestic Rate Loan. Until such notice has been withdrawn, Lenders shall have no obligation to
make an affected Overnight Eurodollar Rate Loan or maintain outstanding affected Overnight Eurodollar Rate Loans and no Borrower shall have the right to convert a Domestic Rate Loan, into an affected Overnight Eurodollar Rate Loan. 

3.8. Capital Adequacy. 

(a) In the event that Agent, Swing Loan Lender or any Lender shall have determined that any Applicable Law, or guideline regarding capital
adequacy, or any Change in Law, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Body, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by Agent, Swing Loan
Lender or any Lender (for purposes of this Section 3.8, the term “Lender” shall include Agent, Swing Loan Lender or any Lender and any corporation or bank controlling Agent, Swing Loan Lender or any Lender) and the office or branch
where Agent, Swing Loan Lender or any Lender (as so defined) makes or maintains any Overnight 

  
 62 








 
Eurodollar Rate Loans with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have
the effect of reducing the rate of return on Agent, Swing Loan Lender or any Lender’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Agent, Swing Loan Lender or such Lender could have achieved but for such
adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration Agent, Swing Loan Lender or each Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by Agent, Swing Loan Lender or any Lender to be material, then, from time to
time, Borrowers shall pay upon demand to Agent, Swing Loan Lender or any Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Agent or such Lender for such reduction. In determining such amount or amounts, Agent, Swing Loan Lender or any
Lender may use any reasonable averaging or attribution methods. The protection of this Section 3.8 shall be available to Agent, Swing Loan Lender and each Lender regardless of any possible contention of invalidity or inapplicability with
respect to the Applicable Law, Change in Law or condition. 
 (b) A certificate of Agent, Swing Loan Lender or such Lender setting forth such
amount or amounts as shall be necessary to compensate Agent or such Lender with respect to Section 3.8(a) hereof when delivered to Borrowing Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

3.9. Taxes. 
 (a) Any and
all payments by or on account of any Obligations hereunder or under any Other Document shall be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if Borrowers shall be
required by Applicable Law to deduct any Indemnified Taxes (including any Other Taxes) from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to
additional sums payable under this Section) Agent, Swing Loan Lender, Lender, Issuer or Participant, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) Borrowers shall make such
deductions and (iii) Borrowers shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Body in accordance with Applicable Law. 

(b) Without limiting the provisions of Section 3.9(a) above, Borrowers shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Body
in accordance with Applicable Law. 
 (c) Each Borrower shall indemnify Agent, Swing Loan Lender, each Lender, Issuer and any Participant,
within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid by Agent,
Swing Loan Lender, such Lender, Issuer, or such Participant, as the case may be, 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 Body. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrowers by any Lender, Swing Loan Lender, Participant, or Issuer (with a copy to Agent), or by Agent on its own
behalf or on behalf of Swing Loan Lender, a Lender or Issuer, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

  
 63 








 (d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by any Borrower
to a Governmental Body, Borrowers shall deliver to Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Body evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably
satisfactory to Agent. 
 (e) Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the
jurisdiction in which any Borrower is resident for tax purposes, or under any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments hereunder or under any Other Document shall deliver to Borrowers (with a copy to Agent), at the time
or times prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by Borrowers or Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by Applicable Law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of
withholding. Notwithstanding the submission of such documentation claiming a reduced rate of or exemption from U.S. withholding tax, Agent shall be entitled to withhold United States federal income taxes at the full 30% withholding rate if in its
reasonable judgment it is required to do so under the due diligence requirements imposed upon a withholding agent under § 1.1441-7(b) of the United States Income Tax Regulations or other Applicable Law.
Further, Agent is indemnified under § 1.1461-1(e) of the United States Income Tax Regulations against any claims and demands of any Lender, Issuer or assignee or participant of a Lender or Issuer for the
amount of any tax it deducts and withholds in accordance with regulations under § 1441 of the Code. In addition, any Lender, if requested by Borrowers or Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably
requested by the Borrowers or Agent as will enable Borrowers or Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that
any Borrower is resident for tax purposes in the United States of America, any Foreign Lender (or other Lender) shall deliver to Borrowers and Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which
such Foreign Lender (or other Lender) becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of Borrowers or Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender (or other Lender) is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the
following is applicable: 
 (i) two (2) duly completed valid originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States of America is a party, 

(ii) two (2) duly completed valid originals of IRS Form W-8ECI, 

(iii) 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 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of Borrowers within the meaning of section
881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) two duly completed valid originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, 

  
 64 








 (iv) any other form prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a
reduction in United States Federal withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable Law to permit the Borrowers to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made, or 

(v) To the extent that any Lender is not a Foreign Lender, such Lender shall submit to Agent two (2) originals of an IRS Form W-9 or any other form prescribed by Applicable Law demonstrating that such Lender is not a Foreign Lender. 

(f) If a payment made to a Lender, Swing Loan Lender, Participant, Issuer, or Agent under this Agreement or any Other Document would be subject
to U.S. Federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Person fails 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, Swing Loan
Lender, Participant, Issuer, or Agent shall deliver to the Agent (in the case of Swing Loan Lender, a Lender, Participant or Issuer) and Borrowers (A) a certification signed by the chief financial officer, principal accounting officer,
treasurer or controller of such Person, and (B) other documentation reasonably requested by Agent or any Borrower sufficient for Agent and Borrowers to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that Swing Loan Lender, such
Lender, Participant, Issuer, or Agent has complied with such applicable reporting requirements. 
 3.10. Replacement of Lenders. If
any Lender (an “Affected Lender”) (a) makes demand upon Borrowers for (or if Borrowers are otherwise required to pay) amounts pursuant to Section 3.6 or 3.8 hereof, (b) is unable to make or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans as a
result of a condition described in Section 2.2(b) hereof, (c) is a Defaulting Lender, or (d) denies any consent requested by the Agent pursuant to Section 16.2(b) hereof, Borrowers may, within ninety (90) days of receipt of
such demand, notice (or the occurrence of such other event causing Borrowers to be required to pay such compensation or causing Section 2.2(b) hereof to be applicable), or such Lender becoming a Defaulting Lender or denial of a request by Agent
pursuant to Section 16.2(b) hereof, as the case may be, by notice in writing to the Agent and such Affected Lender (i) request the Affected Lender to cooperate with Borrowers in obtaining a replacement Lender satisfactory to Agent and
Borrowers (the “Replacement Lender”); (ii) request the non-Affected Lenders to acquire and assume all of the Affected Lender’s Advances and its Revolving Commitment Percentage as provided
herein, but none of such Lenders shall be under any obligation to do so; or (iii) propose a Replacement Lender subject to approval by Agent in its good faith business judgment. If any satisfactory Replacement Lender shall be obtained, and/or if
any one or more of the non-Affected Lenders shall agree to acquire and assume all of the Affected Lender’s Advances and its Revolving Commitment Percentage, then such Affected Lender shall assign, in
accordance with Section 16.3 hereof, all of its Advances and its Revolving Commitment Percentage, and other rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Other Documents to such Replacement Lender or
non-Affected Lenders, as the case may be, in exchange for payment of the principal amount so assigned and all interest and fees accrued on the amount so assigned, plus all other Obligations then due and
payable to the Affected Lender.

	IV.	COLLATERAL: GENERAL TERMS 

 4.1. Security Interest in the Collateral. To secure the
prompt payment and performance to Agent and each Lender of the Obligations, each Borrower hereby assigns, pledges and grants to Agent for its benefit and for the ratable benefit of each Lender and Swing Loan Lender a continuing security interest in
and to and Lien on all of its Collateral, whether now owned or existing or hereafter acquired or arising and wheresoever located. Each Borrower shall mark its books and records as may be necessary or appropriate to evidence, protect and perfect
Agent’s security interest and shall cause its financial statements to reflect such security interest. Each Borrower shall promptly provide Agent with written notice of all commercial tort claims, such notice to contain the case title together
with the applicable court and a brief description of the claim(s). Upon delivery of each such notice, such Borrower shall be deemed to hereby grant to Agent a security interest and lien in and to such commercial tort claims and all proceeds thereof.

 4.2. Perfection of Security Interest. Each Borrower shall take all action that may be necessary or desirable, or that Agent may
request, so as at all times to maintain the validity, perfection, enforceability and priority of Agent’s security interest in and Lien on the Collateral or to enable Agent to protect, exercise or enforce its rights hereunder and in the
Collateral, including, but not limited to, (i) immediately, and in any event, within ten (10) days, discharging all Liens other than Permitted Encumbrances, (ii) obtaining Lien Waiver/Inventory Acknowledgments, (iii) delivering
to Agent, endorsed or accompanied by such instruments of assignment as Agent may specify, and stamping or marking, in such manner as Agent may specify, any and all chattel paper, instruments, letters of credits and advices thereof and documents
evidencing or forming a part of the Collateral, (iv) entering into warehousing, lockbox and other custodial arrangements satisfactory to Agent, and (v) executing and delivering financing statements, control agreements, instruments of
pledge, mortgages, notices and assignments, in each case in form and substance satisfactory to Agent, relating to the creation, validity, perfection, maintenance or continuation of Agent’s security interest and Lien under the Uniform Commercial
Code or other Applicable Law. By its signature hereto, each Borrower hereby authorizes Agent to file against such Borrower, one or more financing, continuation or amendment statements pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code in form and substance
satisfactory to Agent (which statements may have a description of collateral which is broader than that set forth herein). All charges, expenses and fees Agent may incur in doing any of the foregoing, and any local taxes relating thereto, shall be

any expenses relating to the bonding of a custodian, shall be charged to Borrowers’ Account as a Revolving Advance maintained as a Domestic Rate Loan and added to the Obligations. 

4.5. Ownership of Collateral. 

(a) With respect to the Collateral, at the time the Collateral becomes subject to Agent’s security interest: (i) each Borrower shall
be the sole owner of and fully authorized and able to sell, transfer, pledge and/or grant a first priority security interest in each and every item of the its respective Collateral to Agent; and, except for Permitted Encumbrances the Collateral

 67 








 
exist a Lien upon or encumber or allow or suffer to be encumbered in any way except for Permitted Encumbrances, any part of the Collateral. Each Borrower shall defend Agent’s interests in
the Collateral against any and all Persons whatsoever. At any time following demand by Agent for payment of all Obligations, Agent shall have the right to take possession of the indicia of the Collateral and the Collateral in whatever physical form
contained, including: labels, stationery, documents, instruments and advertising materials. If Agent exercises this right to take possession of the Collateral, Borrowers shall, upon demand, assemble it in the best manner possible and make it
available to Agent at a place reasonably convenient to Agent. In addition, with respect to all Collateral, Agent and Lenders shall be entitled to all of the rights and remedies set forth herein and further provided by the Uniform Commercial Code or
other Applicable Law. Each Borrower shall, and Agent may, at its option, instruct all suppliers, carriers, forwarders, warehousers or others receiving or holding cash, checks, Inventory, documents or instruments in which Agent holds a security
interest to deliver same to Agent and/or subject to Agent’s order and if they shall come into any Borrower’s possession, they, and each of them, shall be held by such Borrower in trust as Agent’s trustee, and such Borrower will
immediately deliver them to Agent in their original form together with any necessary endorsement.

determinations pursuant to this subsection shall be made in accordance with, or as required by, GAAP consistently applied in the opinion of such independent public accountant as shall then be regularly engaged by Borrowers. 

4.8. Financial Disclosure. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs all accountants and auditors employed by such
Borrower at any time during the Term to exhibit and deliver to Agent and each Lender copies of any of such Borrower’s financial statements, trial balances or other accounting records of any sort in the accountant’s or auditor’s
possession, and to disclose to Agent and each Lender any information such accountants may have concerning such Borrower’s financial status and business operations. Each Borrower hereby authorizes all Governmental Bodies to furnish to Agent and
each Lender copies of reports or examinations relating to such Borrower, whether made by such Borrower or otherwise; however, Agent and each Lender will attempt to obtain such information or materials directly from such Borrower prior to obtaining
such information or materials from such accountants or Governmental Bodies. 
 4.9. Compliance with Laws. Each Borrower shall comply
with all Applicable Laws with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof or to the operation of such Borrower’s business the non-compliance with which could reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect. The assets of Borrowers at all times shall be maintained in accordance with the requirements of all insurance carriers which provide insurance with respect to the assets of Borrowers so that such insurance shall remain in full force
and effect. 

  
 68 








 4.10. Inspection of Premises. At all reasonable times Agent and each Lender shall have
full access to and the right to audit, check, inspect and make abstracts and copies from each Borrower’s books, records, audits, correspondence and all other papers relating to the Collateral and the operation of each Borrower’s business
and Agent shall conduct not less than one (1) such field examinations in each calendar year; provided that, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrowers shall not be obligated to pay the
costs, fees and expenses in connection with more than three (3) such field examinations in any consecutive twelve-month period; provided, further Borrowers shall not be obligated to pay the costs, fees and expenses in connection
with more than two (2) such field examinations in any consecutive twelve month period to the extent no Springing Event has occurred during such twelve month period. Agent, any Lender and their agents may enter upon any premises of any Borrower
at any time during business hours and at any other reasonable time, and from time to time, for the purpose of inspecting the Collateral and any and all records pertaining thereto and the operation of such Borrower’s business. 

4.11. Insurance. 
 (a) The
assets and properties of each Borrower at all times shall be maintained in accordance with the requirements of all insurance carriers which provide insurance with respect to the assets and properties of such Borrower so that such insurance shall
remain in full force and effect. Each Borrower shall bear the full risk of any loss of any nature whatsoever with respect to the Collateral. At each Borrower’s own cost and expense in amounts and with carriers acceptable to Agent, each Borrower
shall (a) keep all its insurable properties and properties in which such Borrower has an interest insured against the hazards of fire, flood (including for any Real Property located in a Special Flood Area, Federal Flood Insurance or private
insurance that meets the requirements set forth by FEMA, in its Mandatory Purchase of Flood Insurance Guidelines), sprinkler leakage, those hazards covered by extended coverage insurance and such other hazards, and for such amounts, as is customary
in the case of companies engaged in businesses similar to such Borrower’s including business interruption insurance; (b) maintain a bond in such amounts as is customary in the case of companies engaged in businesses similar to such
Borrower insuring against larceny, embezzlement or other criminal misappropriation of insured’s officers and employees who may either singly or jointly with others at any time have access to the assets or funds of such Borrower either directly
or through authority to draw upon such funds or to direct generally the disposition of such assets; (c) maintain public and product liability insurance against claims for personal injury, death or property damage suffered by others;
(d) maintain all such worker’s compensation or similar insurance as may be required under the laws of any state or jurisdiction in which such Borrower is engaged in business; (e) furnish Agent with (i) copies of all policies and
evidence of the maintenance of such policies by the renewal thereof at least thirty (30) days before any expiration date, and (ii) appropriate loss payable endorsements in form and substance satisfactory to Agent, naming Agent as a co-insured and lender loss payee as its interests may appear with respect to all insurance coverage referred to in clauses (a), and (c) above, and providing (A) that all proceeds thereunder shall be
payable to Agent, (B) no such insurance shall be affected by any act or neglect of the insured or owner of the property described in such policy, and (C) that such policy and lender loss payable clauses may not be cancelled, amended or
terminated unless at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice is given to Agent. In the event of any loss thereunder, the carriers named therein hereby are directed by Agent and the applicable


  
 69 








 
Borrower to make payment for such loss to Agent and not to such Borrower and Agent jointly. If any insurance losses are paid by check, draft or other instrument payable to any Borrower and Agent
jointly, Agent may endorse such Borrower’s name thereon and do such other things as Agent may deem advisable to reduce the same to cash. Agent is hereby authorized to adjust and compromise claims under insurance coverage referred to in clauses
(a) and (b) above. All loss recoveries received by Agent upon any such insurance may be applied to the Obligations, in such order as Agent in its sole discretion shall determine. Any surplus shall be paid by Agent to Borrowers or applied as may
be otherwise required by law. Any deficiency thereon shall be paid by Borrowers to Agent, on demand. 
 (b) Each Borrower shall take all
actions required under the Flood Laws and/or requested by Agent to assist in ensuring that each Lender is in compliance with the Flood Laws applicable to the Collateral, including, but not limited to, providing Agent with the address and/or GPS
coordinates of each structure on any real property that will be subject to a mortgage in favor of Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, and, to the extent required, obtaining flood insurance for such property, structures and contents prior to such
property, structures and contents becoming Collateral, and thereafter maintaining such flood insurance in full force and effect for so long as required by the Flood Laws. 

(c) With respect to any Real Property that is subject to a mortgage granted to the Lenders (“Mortgaged Property”), such Mortgaged
Property that is located in an area identified by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (or any successor agency) as a “special flood hazard area” with respect to which flood insurance has been made available under Flood Laws, the
applicable Borrower (A) will maintain, with financially sound and reputable insurance companies, such flood insurance in such reasonable total amount as Agent and the Lenders may from time to time reasonably require, and otherwise sufficient to
comply with all applicable rules and regulations promulgated pursuant to the Flood Laws and (B) promptly upon request of Agent or any Lender, will deliver to Agent or such Lender, as applicable, evidence of such compliance in form and substance
reasonably acceptable to Agent and such Lender, including, without limitation, evidence of annual renewals of such insurance. 
 4.12.
Failure to Pay Insurance. If any Borrower fails to obtain insurance as hereinabove provided, or to keep the same in force, Agent, if Agent so elects, may obtain such insurance and pay the premium therefor on behalf of such Borrower, and
charge Borrowers’ Account therefor as a Revolving Advance of a Domestic Rate Loan and such expenses so paid shall be part of the Obligations. 

4.13. Payment of Taxes. Each Borrower will pay, when due, all taxes, assessments and other Charges lawfully levied or assessed upon such
Borrower or any of the Collateral including real and personal property taxes, assessments and charges and all franchise, income, employment, social security benefits, withholding, and sales taxes. If any tax by any Governmental Body is or may be
imposed on or as a result of any transaction between any Borrower and Agent or any Lender which Agent or any Lender may be required to withhold or pay or if any taxes, assessments, or other Charges remain unpaid after the date fixed for their
payment, or if any claim shall be made which, in Agent’s or any Lender’s opinion, may possibly create a valid Lien on the Collateral, Agent may without notice to Borrowers pay the taxes, assessments or other Charges and each Borrower
hereby indemnifies and holds Agent and each 

  
 70 








 
Lender harmless in respect thereof. The amount of any payment by Agent under this Section 4.13 shall be charged to Borrowers’ Account as a Revolving Advance maintained as a Domestic
Rate Loan and added to the Obligations and, until Borrowers shall furnish Agent with an indemnity therefor (or supply Agent with evidence satisfactory to Agent that due provision for the payment thereof has been made), Agent may hold without
interest any balance standing to Borrowers’ credit and Agent shall retain its security interest in and Lien on any and all Collateral held by Agent. 

4.14. Payment of Leasehold Obligations. Each Borrower shall at all times pay, when and as due, its rental obligations under all leases
under which it is a tenant, and shall otherwise comply, in all material respects, with all other terms of such leases and keep them in full force and effect and, at Agent’s request will provide evidence of having done so. 

4.15. Receivables. 
 (a)
Nature of Receivables. Each of the Receivables shall be a bona fide and valid account representing a bona fide indebtedness incurred by the Customer therein named, for a fixed sum as set forth in the invoice relating thereto (provided
immaterial or unintentional invoice errors shall not be deemed to be a breach hereof) with respect to an absolute sale or lease and (other than with respect to Off-load Receivables) delivery of goods upon
stated terms of a Borrower, or work, labor or services theretofore rendered by a Borrower as of the date each Receivable is created. Same shall be due and owing in accordance with the applicable Borrower’s standard terms of sale without
dispute, setoff or counterclaim except as may be stated on the accounts receivable schedules delivered by Borrowers to Agent. 
 (b)
Solvency of Customers. Each Customer, to the best of each Borrower’s knowledge, as of the date each Receivable is created, is and will be solvent and able to pay all Receivables on which the Customer is obligated in full when due or with
respect to such Customers of any Borrower who are not solvent such Borrower has set up on its books and in its financial records bad debt reserves adequate to cover such Receivables. 

(c) Location of Borrowers. Each Borrower’s chief executive office is located at 9420 Underwood Ave., Suite 100, Omaha, Nebraska.
Until written notice is given to Agent by Borrowing Agent of any other office at which any Borrower keeps its records pertaining to Receivables, all such records shall be kept at such executive office. 

(d) Collection of Receivables. Until any Borrower’s authority to do so is terminated by Agent (which notice Agent may give at any
time following the occurrence of an Event of Default or a Default or when Agent in its sole discretion deems it to be in Lenders’ best interest to do so), each Borrower will, at such Borrower’s sole cost and expense, but on Agent’s
behalf and for Agent’s account, collect as Agent’s property and in trust for Agent all amounts received on Receivables, and shall not commingle such collections with any Borrower’s funds or use the same except to pay Obligations. Each
Borrower shall deposit in the Blocked Account or, upon request by Agent, deliver to Agent, in original form and on the date of receipt thereof, all checks, drafts, notes, money orders, acceptances, cash and other evidences of Indebtedness. 

  
 71 








 (e) Notification of Assignment of Receivables. At any time following the occurrence of a
Default or an Event of Default, Agent shall have the right to send notice of the assignment of, and Agent’s security interest in and Lien on, the Receivables to any and all Customers or any third party holding or otherwise concerned with any of
the Collateral. Thereafter, Agent shall have the sole right to collect the Receivables, take possession of the Collateral, or both. Agent’s actual collection expenses, including, but not limited to, stationery and postage, telephone and
telegraph, secretarial and clerical expenses and the salaries of any collection personnel used for collection, may be charged to Borrowers’ Account and added to the Obligations. 

(f) Power of Agent to Act on Borrowers’ Behalf. Agent shall have the right to receive, endorse, assign and/or deliver in the name
of Agent or any Borrower any and all checks, drafts and other instruments for the payment of money relating to the Receivables, and each Borrower hereby waives notice of presentment, protest and non-payment of
any instrument so endorsed. Each Borrower hereby constitutes Agent or Agent’s designee as such Borrower’s attorney with power (i) at any time: (A) to endorse such Borrower’s name upon any notes, acceptances, checks, drafts,
money orders or other evidences of payment or Collateral; (B) to sign such Borrower’s name on any invoice, bill of lading or customs documentation relating to any of the Receivables or Inventory, drafts against Customers, assignments and
verifications of Receivables; (C) to send verifications of Receivables to any Customer; (D) to sign such Borrower’s name on all financing statements or any other documents or instruments deemed necessary or appropriate by Agent to
preserve, protect, or perfect Agent’s interest in the Collateral and to file same; and (ii) at any time following the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default: (A) to demand payment of the Receivables; (B) to enforce payment
of the Receivables by legal proceedings or otherwise; (C) to exercise all of such Borrower’s rights and remedies with respect to the collection of the Receivables and any other Collateral; (D) to settle, adjust, compromise, extend or
renew the Receivables; (E) to settle, adjust or compromise any legal proceedings brought to collect Receivables; (F) to prepare, file and sign such Borrower’s name on a proof of claim in bankruptcy or similar document against any
Customer; (G) to prepare, file and sign such Borrower’s name on any notice of Lien, assignment or satisfaction of Lien or similar document in connection with the Receivables; and (H) to do all other acts and things necessary to carry
out this Agreement. All acts of said attorney or designee are hereby ratified and approved, and said attorney or designee shall not be liable for any acts of omission or commission nor for any error of judgment or mistake of fact or of law, unless
done maliciously or with gross (not mere) negligence (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment); this power being coupled with an interest is irrevocable while any
of the Obligations remain unpaid. Agent shall have the right at any time following the occurrence of an Event of Default or Default, to change the address for delivery of mail addressed to any Borrower to such address as Agent may designate and to
receive, open and dispose of all mail addressed to any Borrower. 
 (g) No Liability. Neither Agent nor any Lender shall, under any
circumstances or in any event whatsoever, have any liability for any error or omission or delay of any kind occurring in the settlement, collection or payment of any of the Receivables or any instrument received in payment thereof, or for any damage
resulting therefrom. Following the occurrence of an Event of Default or Default Agent may, without notice or consent from any Borrower, sue upon or otherwise collect, extend the time of payment of, compromise or settle for cash, credit or upon any
terms any of the Receivables or any other securities, instruments or 

  
 72 








 
insurance applicable thereto and/or release any obligor thereof. Agent is authorized and empowered to accept following the occurrence of an Event of Default or Default the return of the goods
represented by any of the Receivables, without notice to or consent by any Borrower, all without discharging or in any way affecting any Borrower’s liability hereunder. 

(h) Establishment of a Lockbox Account, Dominion Account. All proceeds of Collateral shall be deposited by Borrowers into either
(i) a lockbox account, dominion account or such other “blocked account” (“Blocked Accounts”) established at a bank or banks (each such bank, a “Blocked Account Bank”) pursuant to an arrangement with
such Blocked Account Bank as may be selected by Borrowing Agent and be acceptable to Agent or (ii) depository accounts (“Depository Accounts”) established at the Agent for the deposit of such proceeds. Each applicable Borrower,
Agent and each Blocked Account Bank shall enter into a deposit account control agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Agent directing such Blocked Account Bank to transfer such funds so deposited to Agent, either to any account maintained
by Agent at said Blocked Account Bank or by wire transfer to appropriate account(s) of Agent. All funds deposited in such Blocked Accounts shall immediately become the property of Agent and Borrowing Agent shall obtain the agreement by such Blocked
Account Bank to waive any offset rights against the funds so deposited. Neither Agent nor any Lender assumes any responsibility for such blocked account arrangement, including any claim of accord and satisfaction or release with respect to deposits
accepted by any Blocked Account Bank thereunder. All deposit accounts and investment accounts of each Borrower and its Subsidiaries are set forth on Schedule 4.15(h). Agent shall apply all funds received by it from the Blocked Accounts and/or
Depository Accounts to the satisfaction of the Obligations (including the cash collateralization of the Letters of Credit) in such order as Agent shall determine in its sole discretion, provided that, in the absence of any Event of
Default, Agent shall apply all such funds representing collection of Receivables first to the prepayment of Revolving Advances. 
 (i)
Adjustments. No Borrower will, without Agent’s consent, compromise or adjust any Receivables (or extend the time for payment thereof) or accept any returns of merchandise or grant any additional discounts, allowances or credits thereon
except for those compromises, adjustments, returns, discounts, credits and allowances as have been heretofore customary in the business of such Borrower. 

4.16. Inventory. To the extent Inventory held for sale or lease has been produced by any Borrower, it has been and will be produced by
such Borrower in accordance with the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, as amended, and all rules, regulations and orders thereunder. 

4.17. Maintenance of Equipment. All material Equipment shall be maintained in good operating condition and repair (reasonable wear and
tear excepted) and all necessary replacements of and repairs thereto shall be made so that the value and operating efficiency of the Equipment shall be maintained and preserved. No Borrower shall use or operate the Equipment in violation of any law,
statute, ordinance, code, rule or regulation. Each Borrower shall have the right to sell Equipment to the extent set forth in Section 4.3 hereof. 

  
 73 








 4.18. Exculpation of Liability. Nothing herein contained shall be construed to constitute
Agent or any Lender as any Borrower’s agent for any purpose whatsoever, nor shall Agent or any Lender be responsible or liable for any shortage, discrepancy, damage, loss or destruction of any part of the Collateral wherever the same may be
located and regardless of the cause thereof. Neither Agent nor any Lender, whether by anything herein or in any assignment or otherwise, assume any of any Borrower’s obligations under any contract or agreement assigned to Agent or such Lender,
and neither Agent nor any Lender shall be responsible in any way for the performance by any Borrower of any of the terms and conditions thereof. 

4.19. Environmental Matters. 

(a) Borrowers shall ensure that the Real Property and all operations and businesses conducted thereon remains in compliance with all
Environmental Laws and they shall not place or permit to be placed any Hazardous Substances on any Real Property except as permitted by Applicable Law or appropriate governmental authorities. 

(b) Borrowers shall establish and maintain a system to assure and monitor continued compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws which
system shall include periodic reviews of such compliance. 
 (c) Borrowers shall (i) employ in connection with the use of the Real
Property appropriate technology necessary to maintain compliance with any applicable Environmental Laws and (ii) dispose of any and all Hazardous Waste generated at the Real Property only at facilities and with carriers that maintain valid
permits under RCRA and any other applicable Environmental Laws. Borrowers shall use their best efforts to obtain certificates of disposal, such as hazardous waste manifest receipts, from all treatment, transport, storage or disposal facilities or
operators employed by Borrowers in connection with the transport or disposal of any Hazardous Waste generated at the Real Property. 
 (d) In
the event any Borrower obtains, gives or receives notice of any Release or threat of Release of a reportable quantity of any Hazardous Substances at the Real Property (any such event being hereinafter referred to as a “Hazardous
Discharge”) or receives any notice of violation, request for information or notification that it is potentially responsible for investigation or cleanup of environmental conditions at the Real Property, demand letter or complaint, order,
citation, or other written notice with regard to any Hazardous Discharge or violation of Environmental Laws affecting the Real Property or any Borrower’s interest therein (any of the foregoing is referred to herein as an “Environmental
Complaint”) from any Person, including any state agency responsible in whole or in part for environmental matters in the state in which the Real Property is located or the United States Environmental Protection Agency (any such person or
entity hereinafter the “Authority”), then Borrowing Agent shall, within five (5) Business Days, give written notice of same to Agent detailing facts and circumstances of which any Borrower is aware giving rise to the Hazardous
Discharge or Environmental Complaint. Such information is to be provided to allow Agent to protect its security interest in and Lien on the Real Property and the Collateral and is not intended to create nor shall it create any obligation upon Agent
or any Lender with respect thereto. 
 (e) Borrowing Agent shall promptly forward to Agent copies of any request for information,
notification of potential liability, demand letter relating to potential responsibility with respect to the investigation or cleanup of Hazardous Substances at any other site owned, operated or used by any Borrower to dispose of Hazardous Substances
and shall 

  
 74 








 
continue to forward copies of correspondence between any Borrower and the Authority regarding such claims to Agent until the claim is settled. Borrowing Agent shall promptly forward to Agent
copies of all documents and reports concerning a Hazardous Discharge at the Real Property that any Borrower is required to file under any Environmental Laws. Such information is to be provided solely to allow Agent to protect Agent’s security
interest in and Lien on the Real Property and the Collateral. 
 (f) Borrowers shall respond promptly to any Hazardous Discharge or
Environmental Complaint and take all necessary action in order to safeguard the health of any Person and to avoid subjecting the Collateral or Real Property to any Lien. If any Borrower shall fail to respond promptly to any Hazardous Discharge or
Environmental Complaint or any Borrower shall fail to comply with any of the requirements of any Environmental Laws, Agent on behalf of Lenders may, but without the obligation to do so, for the sole purpose of protecting Agent’s interest in the
Collateral: (i) give such notices or (ii) enter onto the Real Property (or authorize third parties to enter onto the Real Property) and take such actions as Agent (or such third parties as directed by Agent) deem reasonably necessary or
advisable, to clean up, remove, mitigate or otherwise deal with any such Hazardous Discharge or Environmental Complaint. All reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Agent and Lenders (or such third parties) in the exercise of any such rights,
including any sums paid in connection with any judicial or administrative investigation or proceedings, fines and penalties, together with interest thereon from the date expended at the Default Rate for Domestic Rate Loans constituting Revolving
Advances shall be paid upon demand by Borrowers, and until paid shall be added to and become a part of the Obligations secured by the Liens created by the terms of this Agreement or any other agreement between Agent, any Lender and any Borrower.

 (g) Promptly upon the written request of Agent from time to time, Borrowers shall provide Agent, at Borrowers’ expense, with an
environmental site assessment or environmental audit report prepared by an environmental engineering firm acceptable in the reasonable opinion of Agent, to assess with a reasonable degree of certainty the existence of a Hazardous Discharge and the
potential costs in connection with abatement, cleanup and removal of any Hazardous Substances found on, under, at or within the Real Property. Any report or investigation of such Hazardous Discharge proposed and acceptable to an appropriate
Authority that is charged to oversee the clean-up of such Hazardous Discharge shall be acceptable to Agent. If such estimates, individually or in the aggregate, exceed $100,000, Agent shall have the right to
require Borrowers to post a bond, letter of credit or other security reasonably satisfactory to Agent to secure payment of these costs and expenses. 

(h) Borrowers shall defend and indemnify Agent and Lenders and hold Agent, Lenders and their respective employees, agents, directors and
officers harmless from and against all loss, liability, damage and expense, claims, costs, fines and penalties, including attorney’s fees, suffered or incurred by Agent or Lenders under or on account of any Environmental Laws, including the
assertion of any Lien thereunder, with respect to any Hazardous Discharge, the presence of any Hazardous Substances affecting the Real Property, whether or not the same originates or emerges from the Real Property or any contiguous real estate,
including any loss of value of the Real Property as a result of the foregoing except to the extent such loss, liability, damage and expense is attributable to any Hazardous Discharge resulting from actions on the part of Agent or any Lender.
Borrowers’ obligations under this Section 4.19 shall arise upon the 

  
 75 








 discovery of the presence of any Hazardous Substances at the Real Property, whether or not any federal, state, or
local environmental agency has taken or threatened any action in connection with the presence of any Hazardous Substances. Borrowers’ obligation and the indemnifications hereunder shall survive the termination of this Agreement. 

(i) For purposes of Section 4.19 and 5.7, all references to Real Property shall be deemed to include all of each Borrower’s right,
title and interest in and to its owned and leased premises. 
 4.20. Financing Statements. Except as respects the financing statements
filed by Agent and the financing statements described on Schedule 1.2, no financing statement covering any of the Collateral or any proceeds thereof is on file in any public office. 

4.21. Real Estate. In the event Borrowers, or any of them, acquire any Real Property, Borrowers shall execute and deliver any and all
agreements, documents and instruments requested by Agent to enable Agent to have a first priority Lien on such Real Property, including, without limitation, (i) a mortgage in favor of Agent to secure the Obligations; (ii) ALTA survey
acceptable to remove any survey exceptions from the title policy issued to Agent insuring the mortgage; (iii) ALTA title insurance (with endorsements reasonably acceptable to Agent, which shall include a zoning endorsement) issued to Agent
insuring the mortgage in favor of Agent referenced above as a first Lien on such Real Property; (iv) a Phase I environmental report, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Agent; (v) a Flood certificate, in form and substance
reasonably acceptable to Agent and, if such real estate is located in a Special Flood Area, Federal Flood Insurance as required by Section 4.11; and (vi) a real estate appraisal complying with FIRREA and otherwise, in form and substance
reasonably acceptable to Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Agent shall not enter into any mortgage in respect of any Real Property acquired by any Borrower or Guarantor after the Closing Date until (1) the date that occurs 45 days after
Agent has delivered to the Lenders (which may be delivered electronically) the following documents in respect of such Real Property: (i) a completed flood hazard determination from a third party vendor; (ii) if such real property is
located in a “special flood hazard area”, (A) a notification to the applicable Borrower or Guarantor of that fact and (if applicable) notification to the applicable Borrower or Guarantor that flood insurance coverage is not available and

Agent, in its Permitted Discretion, may conduct not less than one (1) such appraisal in each calendar year; provided that, so long as no Default or Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, Borrowers shall not be obligated to pay the costs, fees and expenses in connection with more than one (1) such appraisals in any consecutive twelve-month period; provided, further Borrowers shall be
obligated to pay the costs, fees and expenses in connection with two (2) such appraisals in any consecutive twelve month period to the extent that a Springing Event has occurred due to an Excess Availability Trigger during such twelve month

shall not be obligated to, cure any potential Event of Default under Section 6.5 (a “Financial Covenant Default”) by making a capital contribution into Borrowers in the form of new cash equity contributions in an aggregate
principal amount equal to the amount (the “EBITDA Shortfall Amount”) that, when added to EBITDA on a dollar-for-dollar basis for the relevant testing
period, would have caused Borrowers to be in full compliance with Section 6.5 for such testing period (each, an “Equity Cure”); provided that (a) such Equity Cure shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of
$1,000,000 and in integral multiples of $500,000 thereafter, (b) such Equity Cure must be effected no later than 10 days after the delivery of the Compliance Certificate (or the date on which such Compliance Certificate was required to have
been delivered to Agent) detailing the respective Financial Covenant Calculations prior to exercise of the Equity Cure Right and the pro-forma result following exercise of the Equity Cure Right, (c) no
more than two (2) Equity Cures may be made during any four (4) consecutive quarters during the Term, (d) each such Equity Cure shall be delivered by wire transfer of immediately available funds to one of Borrower’s Depositary
Accounts, as specified by Agent, for application to the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Advances; and (e) notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the foregoing, no such rights to effectuate an Equity Cure may be
exercised in any case where the potential Event of Default under Section 6.5, after taking into account any prior Equity Cure exercised in the preceding three (3) quarters (not to exceed $5,000,000), arises from Borrowers having a Fixed
Charge Coverage Ratio, measured on a rolling four quarter basis, of less than .75 to 1.0. Upon the receipt by Borrowers of each such Equity Cure, each such Financial Covenant Default shall be recalculated giving effect to the following pro forma
adjustments: 
 (a) EBITDA shall be increased, solely for the purpose of determining the existence of an Event of Default under
Section 6.5, with respect to the relevant testing period and all future testing periods that includes the last month of the testing period in respect of which such Equity Cure was made; and 

(b) if, after giving effect to the foregoing recalculations, Borrowers shall then be in compliance with the requirements of Section 6.5,
Borrowers shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of Section 6.5, with the same effect as though there had been no failure to comply therewith. 

  
 102 









	XI.	LENDERS’ RIGHTS AND REMEDIES AFTER DEFAULT. 

 11.1. Rights and Remedies. 

(a) Upon the occurrence of (i) an Event of Default pursuant to Section 10.7 all Obligations shall be immediately due and payable and
this Agreement and the obligation of Lenders to make Advances shall be deemed terminated; and, (ii) any of the other Events of Default and at any time thereafter, at the option of Required Lenders all Obligations shall be immediately due and
payable and Required Lenders shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and to terminate the obligation of Lenders to make Advances and (iii) a filing of a petition against any Borrower in any involuntary case under any state or federal
bankruptcy laws, all Obligations shall be immediately due and payable and the obligation of Lenders to make Advances hereunder shall be terminated other than as may be required by an appropriate order of the bankruptcy court having jurisdiction over
such Borrower. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Agent shall have the right to, and at the direction of Required Lenders shall, exercise any and all rights and remedies provided for herein, under the Other Documents, under the Uniform
Commercial Code and at law or equity generally, including the right to foreclose the security interests granted herein and to realize upon any Collateral by any available judicial procedure and/or to take possession of and sell any or all of the
Collateral with or without judicial process. Agent may enter any of any Borrower’s premises or other premises without legal process and without incurring liability to any Borrower therefor, and Agent may thereupon, or at any time thereafter, in
its discretion without notice or demand, take the Collateral and remove the same to such place as Agent may deem advisable and Agent may require Borrowers to make the Collateral available to Agent at a convenient place. With or without having the
Collateral at the time or place of sale, Agent may sell the Collateral, or any part thereof, at public or private sale, at any time or place, in one or more sales, at such price or prices, and upon such terms, either for cash, credit or future
delivery, as Agent may elect. Except as to that part of the Collateral which is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, Agent shall give Borrowers reasonable notification of such
sale or sales, it being agreed that in all events written notice mailed to Borrowing Agent at least ten (10) days prior to such sale or sales is reasonable notification. At any public sale Agent or any Lender may bid for and become the
purchaser, and Agent, any Lender or any other purchaser at any such sale thereafter shall hold the Collateral sold absolutely free from any claim or right of whatsoever kind, including any equity of redemption and all such claims, rights and
equities are hereby expressly waived and released by each Borrower. In connection with the exercise of the foregoing remedies, including the sale of Inventory, Agent is granted a perpetual nonrevocable, royalty free, nonexclusive license and Agent
is granted permission to use all of each Borrower’s (a) trademarks, trade styles, trade names, patents, patent applications, copyrights, service marks, licenses, franchises and other proprietary rights which are used or useful in
connection with Inventory for the purpose of marketing, advertising for sale and selling or otherwise disposing of such Inventory and (b) Equipment for the purpose of completing the manufacture of unfinished goods. The cash proceeds realized
from the sale of any Collateral shall be applied to the Obligations in the order set forth in Section 11.5 hereof. Noncash proceeds will only be applied to the Obligations as they are converted into cash. If any deficiency shall arise,
Borrowers shall remain liable to Agent and Lenders therefor. 
 (b) To the extent that Applicable Law imposes duties on the Agent to exercise
remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for the Agent (i) to fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed significant by the Agent to prepare Collateral for
disposition or otherwise to complete raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (ii) to 

  
 103 








 
fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for the
collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (iii) to fail to exercise collection remedies against Customers or other Persons obligated on Collateral or to remove Liens on or any adverse claims against Collateral,
(iv) to exercise collection remedies against Customers and other Persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (v) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through
publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (vi) to contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business as any Borrower, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any
portion of such Collateral, (vii) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (viii) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing internet
sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capacity of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (ix) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail
markets, (x) to disclaim disposition warranties, such as title, possession or quiet enjoyment, (xi) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure the Agent against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to
provide to the Agent a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral, or (xii) to the extent deemed appropriate by the Agent, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals
to assist the Agent in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. Each Borrower acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 11.1(b) is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions
or omissions by the Agent would not be commercially unreasonable in the Agent’s exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by the Agent shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not
being indicated in this Section 11.1(b). Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 11.1(b) shall be construed to grant any rights to any Borrower or to impose any duties on Agent that would not have been
granted or imposed by this Agreement or by Applicable Law in the absence of this Section 11.1(b). 
 11.2. Agent’s
Discretion. Agent shall have the right in its sole discretion to determine which rights, Liens, security interests or remedies Agent may at any time pursue, relinquish, subordinate, or modify or to take any other action with respect thereto and
such determination will not in any way modify or affect any of Agent’s or Lenders’ rights hereunder. 
 11.3. Setoff.
Subject to Section 14.12, in addition to any other rights which Agent or any Lender may have under Applicable Law, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, Agent and such Lender shall have a right, immediately and without notice of
any kind, to apply any Borrower’s property held by Agent and such Lender to reduce the Obligations. 
 11.4. Rights and Remedies not
Exclusive. The enumeration of the foregoing rights and remedies is not intended to be exhaustive and the exercise of any rights or remedy shall not preclude the exercise of any other right or remedies provided for herein or otherwise provided by
law, all of which shall be cumulative and not alternative. 

  
 104 








 11.5. Allocation of Payments After Event of Default. Notwithstanding any other provisions
of this Agreement to the contrary, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all amounts collected or received by the Agent on account of the Obligations or any other amounts outstanding under any of the Other Documents
or in respect of the Collateral may, at Agent’s discretion and shall, after acceleration of the Obligations hereunder, be paid over or delivered as follows: 

FIRST, to the payment of all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and
expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) of the Agent in connection with enforcing its rights and the rights of the Lenders under this Agreement and the Other Documents and any protective advances made by the Agent with respect to the
Collateral under or pursuant to the terms of this Document;

Advances) and Revolving Commitments (other than interest in respect of Swing Loans paid pursuant to clause FOURTH above); 
 SEVENTH, to the
payment of the Obligations consisting of principal with respect to Advances other than FILO Advances, and to the payment of Hedge Liabilities and Cash Management Liabilities (in each case, only to the extent of reserves established for the Hedge
Liabilities or Cash Management Liabilities against the Formula Amount, which reserves, when implemented, shall not have the effect of causing an Out-of-Formula Loan),
and payment or cash collateralization of any outstanding Letters of Credit in accordance with Section 3.2(b) hereof, and not repaid pursuant to clauses “FIRST” through “SIXTH” above. 

EIGHTH, to the payment of all Obligations arising under this Agreement and the Other Documents consisting of accrued fees and interest with
respect to the FILO Advances; 
 NINTH, to the payment of the FILO Advances; 

TENTH, to payment or cash collateralization of Cash Management Liabilities and Hedge Liabilities, to the extent not provided for above. 

ELEVENTH, to all other Obligations and other obligations which shall have become due and payable under the Other Documents or otherwise and not
repaid pursuant to clauses “FIRST” through “TENTH” above; 
 TWELFTH, to all Obligations owing to any Defaulting Lender;
and 

  
 105 








 THIRTEENTH, to the payment of the surplus, if any, to whoever may be lawfully entitled to receive
such surplus. 
 In carrying out the foregoing, (i) amounts received shall be applied in the numerical order provided until exhausted
prior to application to the next succeeding category; (ii) each of the Lenders shall receive (so long as it is not a Defaulting Lender) an amount equal to its pro rata share (based on the proportion that the then outstanding Advances held by
such Lender bears to the aggregate then outstanding Advances) of amounts available to be applied pursuant to clauses “SIXTH”, “SEVENTH”, “EIGHTH”, “NINTH”, “TENTH” and “ELEVENTH”; and, with
respect to clause “TENTH” above, an amount equal to its pro rata share (based on the proportion that the then outstanding Cash Management Liabilities and Hedge Liabilities held by such Lender bears to the aggregate then outstanding Cash
Management Liabilities and Hedge Liabilities; (iii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 11.5, no Swap Obligations of any Non-Qualifying Party shall be paid with amounts received
from such Non-Qualifying Party under its Guaranty (including sums received as a result of the exercise of remedies with respect to such Guaranty) or from the proceeds of such
Non-Qualifying Party’s Collateral if such Swap Obligations would constitute Excluded Hedge Liabilities, provided, however, that to the extent possible appropriate adjustments shall be made
with respect to payments and/or the proceeds of Collateral from other Borrowers and/or Guarantors that are Eligible Contract Participants with respect to such Swap Obligations to preserve the allocation to Obligations otherwise set forth above in
this Section 11.5; and (iv) to the extent that any amounts available for distribution pursuant to clause “SEVENTH” above are attributable to the issued but undrawn amount of outstanding Letters of Credit, such amounts shall be
held by the Agent in a cash collateral account and applied (A) first, to reimburse the Issuer from time to time for any drawings under such Letters of Credit and (B) then, following the expiration of all Letters of Credit, to all other
obligations of the types described in clauses “SEVENTH” and “EIGHTH” above in the manner provided in this Section 11.5.

for such Lender under this Agreement and the Other Documents. Each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the Other Documents and to exercise such powers and to perform

made by any Borrower or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement, or in any of the Other Documents or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by Agent under or in connection with,
this Agreement or any of the Other Documents or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, due execution, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement, or any of the Other Documents or for any failure of any Borrower to perform its
obligations hereunder. Agent shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any of the Other Documents, or to
inspect the properties, books or records of any Borrower. The duties of Agent as respects the Advances to Borrowers shall be mechanical and administrative in nature; Agent shall not have by reason of this Agreement a fiduciary relationship in
respect of any Lender; and nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement except as expressly set forth herein. 

14.3. Lack of Reliance on Agent and Resignation. Independently and without reliance upon Agent or any other Lender, each Lender has made
and shall continue to make (i) its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of each Borrower and each Guarantor in connection with the making and the continuance of the Advances hereunder and the taking or not taking
of any action in connection herewith, and (ii) its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of each Borrower and each Guarantor. Agent shall have no duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender with any
credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before making of the Advances or at any time or times thereafter except as shall be provided by any Borrower pursuant to the terms hereof. Agent shall not be
responsible to any Lender for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties herein or in any agreement, document, 

  
 108 








 
certificate or a statement delivered in connection with or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectibility or sufficiency of this Agreement or any Other
Document, or of the financial condition of any Borrower or any Guarantor, or be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement, the Notes, the Other
Documents or the financial condition of any Borrower, or the existence of any Event of Default or any Default. 
 Agent may resign on sixty
(60) days’ written notice to each of Lenders and Borrowing Agent and upon such resignation, the Required Lenders will promptly designate a successor Agent reasonably satisfactory to Borrowers. 

Any such successor Agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of Agent, and the term “Agent” shall mean such successor
agent effective upon its appointment, and the former Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Agent. After any Agent’s resignation as Agent, the
provisions of this Article XIV shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement. 

14.4. Certain Rights of Agent. If Agent shall request instructions from Lenders with respect to any act or action (including failure to
act) in connection with this Agreement or any Other Document, Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action unless and until Agent shall have received instructions from the Required Lenders; and Agent shall not incur
liability to any Person by reason of so refraining. Without limiting the foregoing, Lenders shall not have any right of action whatsoever against Agent as a result of its acting or refraining from acting hereunder in accordance with the instructions
of the Required Lenders. 
 14.5. Reliance. Agent and Lenders shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon
any note, writing, resolution, notice, statement, certificate, telex, teletype or telecopier message, cablegram, order or other document or telephone message believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the
proper person or entity, and, with respect to all legal matters pertaining to this Agreement and the Other Documents and its duties hereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by it. Agent may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be liable for the default or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by
Agent with reasonable care. 
 14.6. Notice of Default. Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any
Default or Event of Default hereunder or under the Other Documents, unless Agent has received notice from a Lender or Borrowing Agent referring to this Agreement or the Other Documents, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that
such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that Agent receives such a notice, Agent shall give notice thereof to Lenders. Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed
by the Required Lenders; provided, that, unless and until Agent shall have received such directions, Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event
of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of Lenders. 

  
 109 








 14.7. Indemnification. To the extent Agent is not reimbursed and indemnified by Borrowers,
each Lender will reimburse and indemnify Agent in proportion to its respective portion of the Advances (or, if no Advances are outstanding, according to its Revolving Commitment Percentage), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations,
losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Agent in performing its duties hereunder, or in any way relating to or
arising out of this Agreement or any Other Document; provided that, Lenders shall not be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements
resulting from Agent’s gross (not mere) negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment). 

14.8. Agent in its Individual Capacity. With respect to the obligation of Agent to lend under this Agreement, the Advances made by it
shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and as if it were not performing the duties as Agent specified herein; and the term “Lender” or any similar term shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates,
include Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender. Agent may engage in business with any Borrower as if it were not performing the duties specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from any Borrower for services in connection
with this Agreement or otherwise without having to account for the same to Lenders. 
 14.9. Delivery of Documents. To the extent
Agent receives financial statements required under Sections 9.2, 9.5, 9.7, 9.8, 9.9, 9.12 and 9.13 or Borrowing Base Certificates from any Borrower or appraisals in accordance with Section 4.22 or summaries of field exam reports
resulting from exams conducted and obtained in accordance with Section 4.10 pursuant to the terms of this Agreement which any Borrower is not obligated to deliver to each Lender, Agent will promptly furnish such documents and information to
Lenders. 
 14.10. Borrowers’ Undertaking to Agent. Without prejudice to their respective obligations to Lenders
under the other provisions of this Agreement, each Borrower hereby undertakes with Agent to pay to Agent on demand all amounts from time to time due and payable by it for the account of Agent or Lenders or any of them pursuant to this Agreement to
the extent not already paid. Any payment made pursuant to any such demand shall pro tanto satisfy the relevant Borrower’s obligations to make payments for the account of Lenders or the relevant one or more of them pursuant to this Agreement.

 14.11. No Reliance on Agent’s Customer Identification Program. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that neither
such Lender, nor any of its Affiliates, participants or assignees, may rely on the Agent to carry out such Lender’s, Affiliate’s, participant’s or assignee’s customer identification program, or other obligations required or
imposed under or pursuant to the USA PATRIOT Act or the regulations thereunder, including the regulations contained in 31 CFR 103.121 (as hereafter amended or replaced, the “CIP Regulations”), or any other Anti-Terrorism Law,
including any programs involving any of the following items relating to or in connection with any Borrower, its Affiliates or its agents, this Agreement, the Other Documents or the transactions hereunder or contemplated hereby: (1) any identity
verification procedures, (2) any record-keeping, (3) comparisons with government lists, (4) customer notices or (5) other procedures required under the CIP Regulations or such other laws. 

  
 110 








 14.12. Other Agreements. Each of the Lenders agrees that it shall not, without the express
consent of Agent, set off against the Obligations, any amounts owing by such Lender to any Borrower or any deposit accounts of any Borrower now or hereafter maintained with such Lender. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding,
each of the Lenders further agrees that it shall not, unless specifically requested to do so by Agent, take any action to protect or enforce its rights arising out of this Agreement or the Other Documents, it being the intent of Lenders that any
such action to protect or enforce rights under this Agreement and the Other Documents shall be taken in concert and at the direction or with the consent of Agent or Required Lenders. 

 

	XV.	BORROWING AGENCY. 

 15.1. Borrowing Agency Provisions. 

(a) Each Borrower hereby irrevocably designates Borrowing Agent to be its attorney and agent and in such capacity to (i) borrow, (ii)
request Advances, (iii) request the issuance of Letters of Credit, (iv) sign and endorse notes, (v) execute and deliver all instruments, documents, applications, security agreements, reimbursement agreements and letter of credit
agreements for Letters of Credit and all other certificates, notice, writings and further assurances now or hereafter required hereunder, (vi) make elections regarding interest rates, (vii) give instructions regarding Letters of Credit and
agree with Issuer upon any amendment, extension or renewal of any Letter of Credit and (viii) otherwise take action under and in connection with this Agreement and the Other Documents, all on behalf of and in the name such Borrower or
Borrowers, and hereby authorizes Agent to pay over or credit all loan proceeds hereunder in accordance with the request of Borrowing Agent. 

(b) The handling of this credit facility as a co-borrowing facility with a borrowing agent in the
manner set forth in this Agreement is solely as an accommodation to Borrowers and at their request. Neither Agent nor any Lender shall incur liability to Borrowers as a result thereof. To induce Agent and Lenders to do so and in consideration
thereof, each Borrower hereby indemnifies Agent and each Lender and holds Agent and each Lender harmless from and against any and all liabilities, expenses, losses, damages and claims of damage or injury asserted against Agent or any Lender by any
Person arising from or incurred by reason of the handling of the financing arrangements of Borrowers as provided herein, reliance by Agent or any Lender on any request or instruction from Borrowing Agent or any other action taken by Agent or any
Lender with respect to this Section 15.1 except due to willful misconduct or gross (not mere) negligence by the indemnified party (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and
non-appealable judgment). 
 (c) All Obligations shall be joint and several, and each Borrower shall
make payment upon the maturity of the Obligations by acceleration or otherwise, and such obligation and liability on the part of each Borrower shall in no way be affected by any extensions, renewals and forbearance granted by Agent or any Lender to
any Borrower, failure of Agent or any Lender to give any Borrower notice of borrowing or any other notice, any failure of Agent or any Lender to pursue or preserve its rights against any Borrower, the release by Agent or any Lender of any Collateral
now or thereafter acquired from any Borrower, and such agreement by each Borrower to pay upon any notice issued pursuant thereto is unconditional and unaffected by prior recourse by Agent or any Lender to the other Borrowers or any Collateral for
such Borrower’s Obligations or the lack thereof. Each Borrower waives all suretyship defenses. 

  
 111 








 (d) Without limiting the generality of subsection (c) above, the maximum aggregate amount
for which any Borrower shall be liable hereunder shall not exceed the maximum amount for which such Borrower can be liable without rendering this Agreement or any Other Document, as it relates to such Borrower, subject to avoidance under applicable
requirements of law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer (including the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act and Section 548 of title 11 of the United States Code or any applicable
provisions of comparable requirements of law) (collectively, “Fraudulent Transfer Laws”). Any analysis of the provisions of this Agreement for purposes of Fraudulent Transfer Laws shall take into account the right of contribution
established in subsection (e) below and, for purposes of such analysis, give effect to any discharge of intercompany debt as a result of any payment made hereunder. 

(e) To the extent that any Borrower shall be required hereunder to pay any portion of any Obligation exceeding the greater of (a) the
amount of the value actually received by such Borrower and its Subsidiaries from the Loans and other Obligations and (b) the amount such Borrower would otherwise have paid if such Borrower had paid the aggregate amount of the Obligations
(excluding the amount thereof repaid by a Borrower that received the benefit of the funds advanced that constituted Obligations) in the same proportion as such Borrower’s net worth on the date enforcement is sought hereunder bears to the
aggregate net worth of all the Borrowers on such date, then such Borrower shall be reimbursed by such other Borrowers for the amount of such excess, pro rata, based on the respective net worth of such other Borrowers on such date. 

15.2. Waiver of Subrogation. Each Borrower expressly waives any and all rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnity, exoneration,
contribution of any other claim which such Borrower may now or hereafter have against the other Borrowers or other Person directly or contingently liable for the Obligations hereunder, or against or with respect to the other Borrowers’ property
(including, without limitation, any property which is Collateral for the Obligations), arising from the existence or performance of this Agreement, until termination of this Agreement and repayment in full of the Obligations. 

 

	XVI.	MISCELLANEOUS. 

 16.1. Governing Law. This Agreement and each Other Document (unless and
except to the extent expressly provided otherwise in any such Other Document), and all matters relating hereto or thereto or arising herefrom or therefrom (whether arising under contract law, tort law or otherwise) shall, in accordance with Section 5-1401 of the General Obligations Law of the State of New York, be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. Any judicial proceeding brought against any Borrower
with respect to any of the Obligations, this Agreement, the Other Documents or any related agreement may be brought in any court of competent jurisdiction in the State of New York, United States of America, and, by execution and delivery of this
Agreement, each Borrower accepts for itself and in connection with its properties, generally and unconditionally, the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts, and irrevocably agrees to be bound by
any judgment rendered thereby in connection with 

  
 112 








 
this Agreement. Each Borrower hereby waives personal service of any and all process upon it and consents that all such service of process may be made by certified or registered mail (return
receipt requested) directed to Borrowing Agent at its address set forth in Section 16.6 and service so made shall be deemed completed five (5) days after the same shall have been so deposited in the mails of the United States of America,
or, at the Agent’s option, by service upon Borrowing Agent which each Borrower irrevocably appoints as such Borrower’s Agent for the purpose of accepting service within the State of New York. Nothing herein shall affect the right to serve
process in any manner permitted by law or shall limit the right of Agent or any Lender to bring proceedings against any Borrower in the courts of any other jurisdiction. Each Borrower waives any objection to jurisdiction and venue of any action
instituted hereunder and shall not assert any defense based on lack of jurisdiction or venue or based upon forum non conveniens. Each Borrower waives the right to remove any judicial proceeding brought against such Borrower in any state court to any
federal court. Any judicial proceeding by any Borrower against Agent or any Lender involving, directly or indirectly, any matter or claim in any way arising out of, related to or connected with this Agreement or any related agreement, shall be
brought only in a federal or state court located in the County of New York, State of New York. 
 16.2. Entire Understanding. 

(a) This Agreement and the documents executed concurrently herewith contain the entire understanding between each Borrower, Agent and each
Lender and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, if any, relating to the subject matter hereof. Any promises, representations, warranties or guarantees not herein contained and hereinafter made shall have no force and effect unless in
writing, signed by each Borrower’s, Agent’s and each Lender’s respective officers. Neither this Agreement nor any portion or provisions hereof may be changed, modified, amended, waived, supplemented, discharged, cancelled or
terminated orally or by any course of dealing, or in any manner other than by an agreement in writing, signed by the party to be charged. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Agent may modify this Agreement or any of the Other Documents for the purposes
of completing missing content or correcting erroneous content of an administrative nature, without the need for a written amendment, provided that the Agent shall send a copy of any such modification to the Borrowers and each Lender
(which copy may be provided by electronic mail). Each Borrower acknowledges that it has been advised by counsel in connection with the execution of this Agreement and Other Documents and is not relying upon oral representations or statements
inconsistent with the terms and provisions of this Agreement. 
 (b) The Required Lenders, Agent with the consent in writing of the Required
Lenders, and Borrowers may, subject to the provisions of this Section 16.2(b), from time to time enter into written supplemental agreements to this Agreement or the Other Documents executed by Borrowers, for the purpose of adding or deleting
any provisions or otherwise changing, varying or waiving in any manner the rights of Lenders, Agent or Borrowers thereunder or the conditions, provisions or terms thereof or waiving any Event of Default thereunder, but only to the extent specified
in such written agreements; provided, however, that no such supplemental agreement shall: 
 (i) increase the Revolving
Commitment Percentage or FILO Commitment Percentage, or the maximum dollar amount of the Revolving Commitment Amount or the FILO Commitment Amount of any Lender without the consent of such Lender directly affected thereby; 

  
 113 








 (ii) whether or not any Advances are outstanding, extend the Term or the time for payment of
principal or interest of any Advance (excluding the due date of any mandatory prepayment of an Advance), or any fee payable to any Lender, or reduce the principal amount of or the rate of interest borne by any Advances or reduce any fee payable to
any Lender, without the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby (except that Required Lenders may elect to waive or rescind any imposition of the Default Rate under Section 3.1 or of default rates of Letter of Credit fees under
Section 3.2 (unless imposed by Agent)); 
 (iii) increase the Maximum Revolving Loan Amount (except in accordance with
Section 2.24) or the Maximum FILO Amount without the consent of all Lenders; 
 (iv) alter the definition of the term Required Lenders,
Supermajority Lenders, Supermajority FILO Lenders or alter, amend or modify this Section 16.2(b) without the consent of all Lenders; 

(v) alter, amend or modify the provisions of Section 11.5 without the consent of all Lenders; 

(vi) release any Collateral during any calendar year (other than in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement) having an aggregate
value in excess of $1,000,000 without the consent of all Lenders; 
 (vii) change the rights and duties of Agent without the consent of all
Lenders; 
 (viii) subject to the provisions set forth below, permit any Revolving Advance to be made if after giving effect thereto the
total of Revolving Advances outstanding hereunder would exceed the Formula Amount for more than thirty (30) consecutive Business Days in any ninety (90) consecutive day period or exceed the lesser of (1) one hundred and five percent
(105%) of the Formula Amount and (2) the Maximum Revolving Loan Amount minus the Maximum Undrawn Amount of Letters of Credit minus the outstanding balance of Swing Loans without the consent of all Lenders; 

(ix) increase the Advance Rates above the Advance Rates in effect on the Closing Date, increase the sublimits set forth in the Formula Amount
or alter the definitions of Eligible Receivables, Eligible Insured Foreign Receivables, Eligible Un-Insured Foreign Receivables, Eligible Off-load Receivables, Eligible
Unbilled Receivables, Eligible Stored Natural Gas Inventory, Eligible In-Transit Inventory, Eligible On-Track Inventory, Eligible Inventory, Eligible In-Tank Inventory, Eligible Commingled Ethanol Inventory or Eligible Crude Oil Inventory in a manner that would increase the Formula Amount without the consent of Supermajority Lenders; 

  
 114 








 (x) increase the FILO Advance Rates above the FILO Advance Rates in effect on the Closing Date,
increase the sublimits set forth in the Formula Amount or alter the definitions of Eligible Receivables, Eligible Insured Foreign Receivables, Eligible Un-Insured Foreign Receivables, Eligible Off-load Receivables, Eligible Unbilled Receivables, Eligible Stored Natural Gas Inventory, Eligible In-Transit Inventory, Eligible
On-Track Inventory, Eligible Inventory, Eligible In-Tank Inventory, Eligible Commingled Ethanol Inventory or Eligible Crude Oil Inventory in a manner that would increase
the FILO Borrowing Base without the consent of Supermajority FILO Lenders; 
 (xi) release any Borrower or Guarantor (except as permitted
herein) without the consent of all Lenders; 
 (xii) amend or modify the pro rata treatment of Lenders as set forth in Section 2.20
hereof without the consent of all Lenders; or 
 (xiii) subordinate Agent’s lien on the Collateral (except to the extent otherwise
expressly permitted herein) without the consent of Supermajority Lenders. 
 (c) Any such supplemental agreement shall apply equally to each
Lender and shall be binding upon Borrowers, Lenders and Agent and all future holders of the Obligations. In the case of any waiver, Borrowers, Agent and Lenders shall be restored to their former positions and rights, and any Event of Default waived
shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing, but no waiver of a specific Event of Default shall extend to any subsequent Event of Default (whether or not the subsequent Event of Default is the same as the Event of Default which was waived), or
impair any right consequent thereon. 
 (d) If any action to be taken by Agent or Lenders hereunder requires unanimous consent and a Lender
fails to give its consent, then provided that the Required Lenders have provided such consent, authorization or agreement, then PNC may, at its option, require such Lender to assign its interest in the Advances to PNC or to another Lender or to any
other Person designated by the Agent (the “Designated Lender”), for a price equal to (i) the then outstanding principal amount thereof plus (ii) accrued and unpaid interest and fees due such Lender, which interest and fees
shall be paid when collected from Borrowers. In the event PNC elects to require any Lender to assign its interest to PNC or to the Designated Lender, PNC will so notify such Lender in writing within forty five (45) days following such
Lender’s denial, and such Lender will assign its interest to PNC or the Designated Lender no later than five (5) days following receipt of such notice pursuant to a Commitment Transfer Supplement executed by such Lender, PNC or the
Designated Lender, as appropriate, and Agent. 
 (e) Notwithstanding (i) the existence of a Default or an Event of Default,
(ii) that any of the other applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 8.2 hereof have not been satisfied or the commitments of Lenders to make Revolving Advances hereunder have been terminated for any reason, or (iii) any
other contrary provision of this Agreement, Agent may at its discretion and without the consent of any Lender, voluntarily permit the outstanding Revolving Advances at any time to exceed the Formula Amount by up to five percent (5%) of the Formula
Amount for up to thirty (30) consecutive Business Days in any ninety (90) consecutive day period so long as the aggregate Revolving Advances (including
Out-of-Formula Loans) do not exceed the lesser of (1) one hundred and five percent (105%) of the Formula Amount and (2) the Maximum Revolving Loan Amount minus
the Maximum Undrawn Amount 

  
 115 








 
of Letters of Credit minus the outstanding balance of Swing Loans (the “Out-of-Formula Loans”). If Agent
is willing in its sole and absolute discretion to permit such Out-of-Formula Loans (and Agent has not been directed by Required Lenders in writing not to make or to
discontinue making Out-of-Formula Loans), the Lenders holding the Revolving Commitments shall be obligated to fund such Out-of-Formula Loans in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages, and such Out-of-Formula Loans shall
be payable on demand and shall bear interest at the Default Rate for Revolving Advances consisting of Domestic Rate Loans; provided that, if Agent does permit
Out-of-Formula Loans, neither Agent nor Lenders shall be deemed thereby to have changed the limits of Section 2.1(a) nor shall any Lender be obligated to fund
Revolving Advances in excess of its Revolving Commitment Amount. For purposes of this paragraph, the discretion granted to Agent hereunder shall not preclude involuntary overadvances that may result from time to time due to the fact that the Formula
Amount was unintentionally exceeded for any reason, including, but not limited to, Collateral previously deemed to be either “Eligible Receivables”, “Eligible Insured Foreign Receivables”, “Eligible Un-Insured Foreign Receivables”, “Eligible Off-load Receivables”, “Eligible Inventory”, “Eligible
In-Transit Inventory”, “Eligible On-Track Inventory”, “Eligible In-Tank Inventory” or “Eligible
Stored Natural Gas Inventory”, as applicable, becomes ineligible, collections of Receivables applied to reduce outstanding Revolving Advances are thereafter returned for insufficient funds or overadvances are made to protect or preserve the
Collateral. In the event Agent involuntarily permits the outstanding Revolving Advances to exceed the Formula Amount by more than five percent (5%), Agent shall use its efforts to have Borrowers decrease such excess in as expeditious a manner as is
practicable under the circumstances and not inconsistent with the reason for such excess. Revolving Advances made after Agent has determined the existence of involuntary overadvances shall be deemed to be involuntary overadvances and shall be
decreased in accordance with the preceding sentence. To the extent any Out-of-Formula Loans are not actually funded by the other Lenders as provided for in this
Section 16.2(e), Agent may elect in its discretion to fund such Out-of-Formula Loans and any such
Out-of-Formula Loans so funded by Agent shall be deemed to be Revolving Advances made by and owing to Agent, and Agent shall be entitled to all rights (including accrual
of interest) and remedies of a Lender holding a Revolving Commitment under this Agreement and the Other Documents with respect to such Revolving Advances. 

(f) In addition to (and not in substitution of) the discretionary Revolving Advances permitted above in this Section 16.2, the Agent is
hereby authorized by Borrowers and the Lenders, at any time in the Agent’s sole discretion, regardless of (i) the existence of a Default or an Event of Default or termination of the commitments of Lenders to make Revolving Advances
hereunder for any reason, or (ii) any other contrary provision of this Agreement, to make Revolving Advances to Borrowers on behalf of the Lenders which Agent, in its reasonable business judgment, deems necessary or desirable (a) to
preserve or protect the Collateral, or any portion thereof, (b) to enhance the likelihood of, or maximize the amount of, repayment of the Advances and other Obligations, or (c) to pay any other amount chargeable to Borrowers pursuant to
the terms of this Agreement (the “Protective Advances”); provided, that (i) the Protective Advances made hereunder shall not exceed five percent (5%) of the Maximum Revolving Loan Amount, (ii) that at any
time after giving effect to any such Protective Advances, the outstanding Revolving Advances, Swing Loans and Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit do not exceed the Maximum Revolving Loan Amount and (iii) Agent has not
been directed in writing by Required Lenders to not make or discontinue 

  
 116 








 
making Protective Advances. The Lenders holding the Revolving Commitments shall be obligated to fund such Protective Advances and effect a settlement with Agent therefore upon demand of Agent in
accordance with their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages. To the extent any Protective Advances are not actually funded by the other Lenders as provided for in this Section 16.2(f), any such Protective Advances funded by Agent shall be
deemed to be Revolving Advances made by and owing to Agent, and Agent shall be entitled to all rights (including accrual of interest) and remedies of a Lender holding a Revolving Commitment under this Agreement and the Other Documents with respect
to such Revolving Advances. 
 (g) Agent shall not enter into an intercreditor agreement in connection with the contemplated term loan B
facility to be obtained by Parent and guaranteed by Borrowers, unless such intercreditor agreement is in a form reasonably satisfactory to each Lender. 

16.3. Successors and Assigns; Participations; New Lenders. 

(a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Borrowers, Agent, each Lender, all future holders of the Obligations and
their respective successors and assigns, except that no Borrower may assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Agent and each Lender. Any assignment made in violation of this
Section shall be deemed to be null and void. 
 (b) Each Borrower acknowledges that in the regular course of commercial banking business one
or more Lenders may at any time and from time to time sell participating interests in the Advances to other Persons (each such transferee or purchaser of a participating interest, a “Participant”); provided, however,
that (i) in no case shall a Participant have the right to enforce any of the terms of this Agreement or any Other Document, and (ii) the consent of such Participant shall not be required (either directly, as a restraint on such
Lender’s ability to consent hereunder or otherwise) to exercise or refrain from exercising any powers or rights such Lender may have under or in respect of this Agreement or any Other Documents (including the right to enforce or direct
enforcement of the Obligations) or for any amendments, waivers or consents with respect to this Agreement or any Other Document, except for those described in Section 16.2(b)(i), (ii) and (iv). Each Participant may exercise all rights of
payment (including rights of set-off) with respect to the portion of such Advances held by it or other Obligations payable hereunder as fully as if such Participant were the direct holder thereof
provided that Borrowers shall not be required to pay to any Participant more than the amount which it would have been required to pay to Lender which granted an interest in its Advances or other Obligations payable hereunder to such
Participant had such Lender retained such interest in the Advances hereunder or other Obligations payable hereunder and in no event shall Borrowers be required to pay any such amount arising from the same circumstances and with respect to the same
Advances or other Obligations payable hereunder to both such Lender and such Participant. Each Borrower hereby grants to any Participant a continuing security interest in any deposits, moneys or other property actually or constructively held by such
Participant as security for the Participant’s interest in the Advances. 
 (c) Any Lender, with the consent of Agent which shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed (and which shall not be required for sales, assignments or transfers to Affiliates of any Lender), may sell, assign or transfer all or any part of its rights and obligations


  
 117 








 
under or relating to Revolving Advances under this Agreement and the Other Documents to one or more additional Persons (subject to Section 16.3(g) hereof) and one or more additional Persons
may commit to make Advances hereunder (each a “Purchasing Lender”), in minimum amounts of not less than $5,000,000, pursuant to a Commitment Transfer Supplement, executed by a Purchasing Lender, the transferor Lender, and Agent and
delivered to Agent for recording; provided, Purchasing Lenders shall not include any Affiliate of any Borrower, Guarantor, any Defaulting Lender or natural Person; provided further that 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 with respect to each of the Revolving Advances and FILO Advances under this Agreement in which such Lender has an interest. Upon
such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the transfer effective date determined pursuant to such Commitment Transfer Supplement, (i) Purchasing Lender thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in
such Commitment Transfer Supplement, have the rights and obligations of a Lender thereunder with a Revolving Commitment Percentage as set forth therein, and (ii) the transferor Lender thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such Commitment
Transfer Supplement, be released from its obligations under this Agreement, the Commitment Transfer Supplement creating a novation for that purpose. Such Commitment Transfer Supplement shall be deemed to amend this Agreement to the extent, and only
to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of such Purchasing Lender and the resulting adjustment of the Revolving Commitment Percentages and FILO Commitment Percentages arising from the purchase by such Purchasing Lender of all or a portion
of the rights and obligations of such transferor Lender under this Agreement and the Other Documents. Each Borrower hereby consents to the addition of such Purchasing Lender and the resulting adjustment of the Revolving Commitment Percentages and
the FILO Commitment Percentages arising from the purchase by such Purchasing Lender of all or a portion of the rights and obligations of such transferor Lender under this Agreement and the Other Documents. Borrowers shall execute and deliver such
further documents and do such further acts and things in order to effectuate the foregoing. 
 (d) Any Lender, with the consent of Agent
which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, may directly or indirectly sell, assign or transfer all or any portion of its rights and obligations under or relating to Revolving Advances or FILO Advances under this Agreement and the Other
Documents to an entity, whether a corporation, partnership, trust, limited liability company or other entity that (i) is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or otherwise investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the
ordinary course of its business and (ii) is administered, serviced or managed by the assigning Lender or an Affiliate of such Lender (a “Purchasing CLO” and together with each Participant and Purchasing Lender, each a
“Transferee” and collectively the “Transferees”), pursuant to a Commitment Transfer Supplement modified as appropriate to reflect the interest being assigned (“Modified Commitment Transfer
Supplement”), executed by any intermediate purchaser, the Purchasing CLO, the transferor Lender, and Agent as appropriate and delivered to Agent for recording. Upon such execution and delivery, from and after the transfer effective date
determined pursuant to such Modified Commitment Transfer Supplement, (i) Purchasing CLO thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Modified Commitment Transfer Supplement, have the rights and obligations of a Lender
thereunder and (ii) the transferor Lender thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such Modified Commitment Transfer Supplement, be released from its obligations under this Agreement, the Modified Commitment Transfer Supplement creating a
novation for that purpose. Such Modified Commitment Transfer Supplement shall be 

  
 118 








 
deemed to amend this Agreement to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of such Purchasing CLO. Each Borrower hereby consents to the addition of such Purchasing
CLO. Borrowers shall execute and deliver such further documents and do such further acts and things in order to effectuate the foregoing. 

(e) Agent shall maintain at its address a copy of each Commitment Transfer Supplement and Modified Commitment Transfer Supplement delivered to
it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of each Lender and the outstanding principal, accrued and unpaid interest and other fees due hereunder. The entries in the Register shall be
conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and each Borrower, Agent and Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of the Advance recorded therein for the purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be
available for inspection by Borrowing Agent or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Agent shall receive a fee in the amount of $3,500 payable by the applicable Purchasing Lender and/or Purchasing CLO
upon the effective date of each transfer or assignment (other than to an intermediate purchaser) to such Purchasing Lender and/or Purchasing CLO. 

(f) Each Borrower authorizes each Lender to disclose to any Transferee and any prospective Transferee any and all financial information in such
Lender’s possession concerning such Borrower which has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of such Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or in connection with such Lender’s credit evaluation of such Borrower. 

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any Lender may at any time and from time to 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 any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or
assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. 

16.4. Application of Payments. Agent shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply or reverse and re-apply any payment and any and all proceeds of Collateral to any portion of the Obligations. To the extent that any Borrower makes a payment or Agent or any Lender receives any payment or proceeds of the
Collateral for any Borrower’s benefit, which are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, debtor in possession, receiver, custodian or any other party under any
bankruptcy law, common law or equitable cause, then, to such extent, the Obligations or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by Agent or such Lender. 

16.5. Indemnity. Each Borrower shall defend, protect, indemnify, pay and save harmless Agent, Issuer, each Lender and each of their
respective officers, directors, Affiliates, attorneys, employees and agents (each an “Indemnified Party”) for and from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, fines, actions,
judgments, suits, costs, charges, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including fees and disbursements of counsel (including allocated costs of internal counsel)) (collectively, “Claims”) which may be
imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against any Indemnified Party in 

  
 119 








 
arising out of or in any way relating to or as a consequence, direct or indirect, of: (i) this Agreement, the Other Documents, the Advances and other Obligations and/or the transactions
contemplated hereby including the Transactions, (ii) any action or failure to act or action taken only after delay or the satisfaction of any conditions by any Indemnified Party in connection with and/or relating to the negotiation, execution,
delivery or administration of the Agreement and the Other Documents, the credit facilities established hereunder and thereunder and/or the transactions contemplated hereby including the Transactions, (iii) any Borrower’s or any
Guarantor’s failure to observe, perform or discharge any of its covenants, obligations, agreements or duties under or breach of any of the representations or warranties made in this Agreement and the Other Documents, (iv) the enforcement
of any of the rights and remedies of Agent, Issuer or any Lender under the Agreement and the Other Documents, (v) any threatened or actual imposition of fines or penalties, or disgorgement of benefits, for violation of any Anti-Terrorism Law by
any Borrower, any Affiliate or Subsidiary of any Borrowers, or any Guarantor, and (vi) any claim, litigation, proceeding or investigation instituted or conducted by any Governmental Body or instrumentality or any other Person with respect to
any aspect of, or any transaction contemplated by, or referred to in, or any matter related to, this Agreement or the Other Documents, whether or not Agent or any Lender is a party thereto. Without limiting the generality of any of the foregoing,
each Borrower shall defend, protect, indemnify, pay and save harmless each Indemnified Party from (x) any Claims which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against any Indemnified Party arising out of or in any way relating to or as a
consequence, direct or indirect, of the issuance of any Letter of Credit hereunder and (y) any Claims which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against any Indemnified Party under any Environmental Laws with respect to or in connection
with the Real Property, any Hazardous Discharge, the presence of any Hazardous Substances affecting the Real Property (whether or not the same originates or emerges from the Real Property or any contiguous real estate), including any Claims
consisting of or relating to the imposition or assertion of any Lien on any of the Real Property under any Environmental Laws and any loss of value of the Real Property as a result of the foregoing except to the extent such loss, liability, damage
and expense is attributable to any Hazardous Discharge resulting from actions on the part of Agent or any Lender. Borrowers’ obligations under this Section 16.5 shall arise upon the discovery of the presence of any Hazardous Substances at
the Real Property, whether or not any federal, state, or local environmental agency has taken or threatened any action in connection with the presence of any Hazardous Substances, in each such case except to the extent that any of the foregoing
arises out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnified Party (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment). Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, this indemnity shall extend to any liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including fees and disbursements of counsel)
asserted against or incurred by any of the Indemnified Parties by any Person under any Environmental Laws or similar laws by reason of any Borrower’s or any other Person’s failure to comply with laws applicable to solid or hazardous waste
materials, including Hazardous Substances and Hazardous Waste, or other Toxic Substances. Additionally, if any taxes (excluding taxes imposed upon or measured solely by the net income of Agent and Lenders, but including any intangibles taxes, stamp
tax, recording tax or franchise tax) shall be payable by Agent, Lenders or Borrowers on account of the execution or delivery of this Agreement, or the execution, delivery, issuance or recording of any of the Other Documents, or the creation or
repayment of any of the Obligations hereunder, 

  
 120 








 
by reason of any Applicable Law now or hereafter in effect, Borrowers will pay (or will promptly reimburse Agent and Lenders for payment of) all such taxes, including interest and penalties
thereon, and will indemnify and hold the Indemnified Parties harmless from and against all liability in connection therewith. 
 16.6.

 16.7. Survival. The obligations of Borrowers under Sections 2.2(f), 3.6, 3.7, 3.8,
4.19(h), and 16.5 and the obligations of Lenders under Section 14.7, shall survive termination of this Agreement and the Other Documents and payment in full of the Obligations. 

16.8. Severability. If any part of this Agreement is contrary to, prohibited by, or deemed invalid under Applicable Laws, such provision
shall be inapplicable and deemed omitted to the extent so contrary, prohibited or invalid, but the remainder hereof shall not be invalidated thereby and shall be given effect so far as possible. 

16.9. Expenses. Borrowers shall pay (i) all
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Agent and its Affiliates (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for Agent), and shall pay all fees and
time charges and disbursements for attorneys who may be employees of Agent, in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement and
the Other Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Issuer in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder, (iii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Agent, any Lender or Issuer (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for Agent, any Lender or Issuer), and shall pay
all fees and time charges for attorneys who may be employees of Agent, any Lender or Issuer, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights (A) in connection with this Agreement and the Other Documents, including its rights
under this Section, or (B) in connection with the Advances made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any
workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit, and (iv) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of Agent’s regular
employees and agents engaged periodically to perform audits of any Borrower’s or any Borrower’s Affiliate’s or Subsidiary’s books, records and business properties. 

16.10. Injunctive Relief. Each Borrower recognizes that, in the event any Borrower fails to perform, observe or discharge any of its
obligations or liabilities under this Agreement, or threatens to fail to perform, observe or discharge such obligations or liabilities, any remedy at law may prove to be inadequate relief to Lenders; therefore, Agent, if Agent so requests, shall be
entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving that actual damages are not an adequate remedy. 

16.11. Consequential Damages. Neither Agent nor any Lender, nor any agent or attorney for any of them, shall be liable to any Borrower
or any Guarantor (or any Affiliate of any such Person) for indirect, punitive, exemplary or consequential damages arising from any breach of contract, tort or other wrong relating to the establishment, administration or collection of the Obligations
or as a result of any transaction contemplated under this Agreement or any Other Document.

 16.13. Counterparts; Facsimile
Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in any number of and by different parties hereto on separate counterparts, all of which, when so executed, shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts shall constitute one and the same
agreement. Any signature delivered by a party by facsimile transmission shall be deemed to be an original signature hereto. 
 16.14.
Construction. The parties acknowledge that each party and its counsel have reviewed this Agreement and that the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed
in the interpretation of this Agreement or any amendments, schedules or exhibits thereto. 
 16.15. Confidentiality; Sharing
Information. Agent, each Lender and each Transferee shall hold all non-public information obtained by Agent, such Lender or such Transferee pursuant to the requirements of this Agreement in accordance with
Agent’s, such Lender’s and such Transferee’s customary procedures for handling confidential information of this nature; provided, however, Agent, each Lender and each Transferee may disclose such confidential information
(a) to its examiners, Affiliates, outside auditors, counsel and other professional advisors, (b) to Agent, any Lender or to any prospective Transferees, and (c) as required or requested by any Governmental Body or representative
thereof or pursuant to legal process; provided, further that (i) unless specifically prohibited by Applicable Law, Agent, each Lender and each Transferee shall use its reasonable best efforts prior to disclosure thereof, to notify
the applicable Borrower of the applicable request for disclosure of such non-public information (A) by a Governmental Body or representative thereof (other than any such request in connection with an
examination of the financial condition of a Lender or a Transferee by such Governmental Body) or (B) pursuant to legal process and (ii) in no event shall Agent, any Lender or any Transferee be obligated to return any materials furnished by
any Borrower other than those documents and instruments in possession of Agent or any Lender in order to perfect its Lien on the Collateral once the Obligations have been paid in full and this Agreement has been terminated. Each Borrower
acknowledges that from time to time financial advisory, investment banking and other services may be offered or provided to such Borrower or one or more of its Affiliates (in connection with this Agreement or otherwise) by any Lender or by one or
more Subsidiaries or Affiliates of such Lender and each Borrower hereby authorizes each Lender to share any information delivered to such Lender by such Borrower and its Subsidiaries pursuant to this Agreement, or in connection with the decision of
such Lender to enter into this Agreement, to any such Subsidiary or Affiliate of such Lender, it being understood that any such Subsidiary or Affiliate of any Lender receiving such information shall be bound by the provisions of this
Section 16.15 as if it were a Lender hereunder. Such authorization shall survive the repayment of the other Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. 

16.16. Publicity. Each Borrower and each Lender hereby authorizes Agent to make appropriate announcements of the financial arrangement
entered into among Borrowers, Agent and Lenders, including announcements which are commonly known as tombstones, in such publications and to such selected parties as Agent shall in its sole and absolute discretion deem appropriate. 

  
 124 








 16.17. Certifications From Banks and Participants; USA PATRIOT Act. 

(a) Each Lender or assignee or participant of a Lender that is not incorporated under the Laws of the United States of America or a state
thereof (and is not excepted from the certification requirement contained in Section 313 of the USA PATRIOT Act and the applicable regulations because it is both (i) an affiliate of a depository institution or foreign bank that maintains a
physical presence in the United States or foreign country, and (ii) subject to supervision by a banking authority regulating such affiliated depository institution or foreign bank) shall deliver to the Agent the certification, or, if
applicable, recertification, certifying that such Lender is not a “shell” and certifying to other matters as required by Section 313 of the USA PATRIOT Act and the applicable regulations: (1) within 10 days after the Closing
Date, and (2) as such other times as are required under the USA PATRIOT Act. 
 (b) Each Lender that is subject to the Patriot Act
hereby notifies the Borrowers that the USA PATRIOT Act requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record certain information that identifies individuals or business entities which open an “account” with such financial
institution. Consequently, Lender may from time to time request, and Borrower shall provide to Lender, Borrower’s name, address, tax identification number and/or such other identifying information as shall be necessary for Lender to comply with
the USA PATRIOT Act and any other Anti-Terrorism Law. 
 16.18. Anti-Terrorism Laws. 

(a) Each Borrower represents and warrants that (i) no Covered Entity is a Sanctioned Person and (ii) no Covered Entity, either in its
own right or through any third party, (A) has any of its assets in a Sanctioned Country or in the possession, custody or control of a Sanctioned Person in violation of any Anti-Terrorism Law; (B) does business in or with, or derives any of
its income from investments in or transactions with, any Sanctioned Country or Sanctioned Person in violation of any Anti-Terrorism Law; or (C) engages in any dealings or transactions prohibited by any Anti-Terrorism Law. 

(b) Each Borrower covenants and agrees that (i) no Covered Entity will become a Sanctioned Person, (ii) no Covered Entity, either in
its own right or through any third party, will (A) have any of its assets in a Sanctioned Country or in the possession, custody or control of a Sanctioned Person in violation of any Anti-Terrorism Law; (B) do business in or with, or derive
any of its income from investments in or transactions with, any Sanctioned Country or Sanctioned Person in violation of any Anti-Terrorism Law; (C) engage in any dealings or transactions prohibited by any Anti-Terrorism Law or (D) use the
Advances to fund any operations in, finance any investments or activities in, or, make any payments to, a Sanctioned Country or Sanctioned Person in violation of any Anti-Terrorism Law, (iii) the funds used to repay the Obligations will not be
derived from any unlawful activity, (iv) each Covered Entity shall comply with all Anti-Terrorism Laws and (v) the Borrowers shall promptly notify the Agent in writing upon the occurrence of a Reportable Compliance Event.
