(a) The Loans made by the Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by the Lender in the ordinary course of
business. The accounts or records maintained by the Lender shall be prima facie evidence absent manifest error of the amount of the Loans made by the Lender to the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or
any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. Upon the request of the Lender, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to the
Lender a Note payable to the Lender, which shall evidence the Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records. The Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, amount, currency and maturity of its Loans and
payments with respect thereto. 
 (b) [reserved]. 

(c) Entries made in good faith by the Lender in its account or accounts pursuant to Section 2.11(a) shall be prima facie
evidence of the amount of principal and interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to the Lender, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, absent manifest error; provided that the failure of the
Lender to make an entry, or any finding that an entry is incorrect in such account or accounts shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 

Section 2.12 Payments Generally. 

(a) All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff.
Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Lender in Dollars in Same Day Funds not later than 1:00 p.m. (local time in New York City) on the date specified herein. All payments received
by the Lender after the time specified above shall in each case be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. 

(b) Except as otherwise provided herein, if any payment to be made by the Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment
shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be. 

  
 49 








 (c) [reserved] 

(d) [reserved] 
 (e) [reserved]

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

Section 2.13 [Reserved]. 

Section 2.14 Incremental Credit Extensions. 

(a) Incremental Commitments. The Borrower may at any time or from time to time after the Closing Date, by notice to the Lender (an
“Incremental Loan Request”), request one or more new commitments which may be in the same Facility as any outstanding Loans of an existing Class of Loans (a “Loan Increase”) or a new Class of term loans
(collectively with any Loan Increase, the “Incremental Commitments”). 
 (b) Incremental Loans. Any Incremental
Commitments effected through the establishment of new Loans made on an Incremental Facility Closing Date shall be designated a separate Class of Incremental Commitments for all purposes of this Agreement. On any Incremental Facility Closing Date on
which any Incremental Commitments of any Class are effected (including through any Loan Increase), subject to the satisfaction of the terms and conditions in this Section 2.14, the Lender shall make a Loan to the Borrower (an
“Incremental Loan”) in an amount equal to its Incremental Commitment of such Class. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Incremental Loans may have identical terms to any of the Loans and be treated as the same Class as any of such Loans.

 (c) Incremental Loan Request. Each Incremental Loan Request from the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall
set forth the requested amount and proposed terms of the relevant Incremental Loans. Incremental Loans may be made by the Lender (but the Lender will not have an obligation to make any Incremental Commitment). 

(d) Effectiveness of Incremental Amendment. The effectiveness of any Incremental Amendment, and the Incremental Commitments thereunder,
shall be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof (the “Incremental Facility Closing Date”) of each of the following conditions: 

(i) (x) if the proceeds of such Incremental Commitments are being used to finance a Permitted Acquisition or other Investment
permitted hereunder, no Event of Default under Sections 8.01(a), 8.01(f) or 8.01(g) shall have occurred and be continuing or would exist after giving effect to such Incremental Commitments, or (y) if otherwise, no Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would exist after giving effect to such Incremental Commitments; 

  
 50 








 (ii) after giving effect to such Incremental Commitments and except as set forth
in clause (i) above, the conditions of Sections 4.02(i) and 4.02(ii) shall be satisfied (it being understood that all references to “the date of such Loan” or similar language in such Section 4.02 shall be
deemed to refer to the effective date of such Incremental Amendment); provided that, if the proceeds of such Incremental Commitments are being used to finance a Permitted Acquisition or other Investment permitted hereunder, the reference in
Section 4.02(i) to the accuracy of the representations and warranties shall, to the extent agreed by the Lender, refer to customary “specified representations” and “specified acquisition representations”; 

(iii) [reserved]; 

(iv) each Incremental Commitment shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $5,000,000 and shall be in an
increment of $1,000,000 (provided that such amount may be less than $5,000,000 if such amount represents all remaining availability under the limit set forth in Section 2.14(d)(v)); 

(v) the aggregate amount of the Incremental Loans (when aggregated with the Initial Loans and with amounts incurred at or prior
to such time pursuant to Section 7.03(q)) shall not exceed the greater of (A) $300,000,000 and (B) an unlimited amount so long as the Incremental Loan-to-Value Ratio, determined on a Pro Forma Basis as of the last day of
the most recently ended Test Period, as if any Incremental Loans available under such Incremental Commitments had been outstanding on the last day of such period, and, in each case, without netting the cash proceeds of any such Incremental Loans,
does not exceed 5.0%; and 
 (vi) to the extent reasonably requested by the Lender, the Lender shall have received customary
legal opinions, board resolutions and officers’ certificates consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date other than changes to such legal opinion resulting from a change in law, change in fact or change to counsel’s form of opinion
reasonably satisfactory to the Lender. 
 (e) Required Terms. The terms, provisions and documentation of the Incremental Loans and
Incremental Commitments of any Class shall be as agreed between the Borrower and the Lender and, except as otherwise set forth herein, unless such terms, provisions and documentation (other than any terms and provisions which are applicable only
after the Latest Maturity Date of the Loans existing on the Incremental Facility Closing Date) shall be either (x) substantially identical to the Loans existing on the Incremental Facility Closing Date or (y) no more favorable (taken as a whole) to
the Lender than under the Loans existing on the Incremental Facility Closing Date and such terms, provisions and documentation shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Lenders; provided that (i) to the extent any Previously Absent Financial
Maintenance Covenant and the Loan Documents shall be automatically and without further action deemed modified on or prior to the Incremental Facility Closing Date to include such Previously Absent Financial Maintenance Covenant for the benefit of
the Loans, it being 

  
 51 








 
understood that upon the amendment of the Loan Documents to include such Previously Absent Financial Maintenance Covenant, any subsequent amendment, modification or waiver to the Loan Documents
as it pertains to such Previously Absent Financial Maintenance Covenant shall only be permitted in the manner detailed under Section 10.1 and (ii) Loan Increases of any Class shall be identical to the then existing Loans of such Class. In any
event: 
 (i) the Incremental Loans: 

(A) shall rank pari passu in right of payment with the Loans, 

(B) shall not mature earlier than the Latest Maturity Date of any Loans outstanding at the time of incurrence of such
Incremental Loans, 
 (C) shall have a Weighted Average Life to Maturity not shorter than the remaining Weighted Average
Life to Maturity of the Initial Loans, 
 (D) subject to clauses (e)(i)(B) and (e)(i)(C) above and clause
(e)(iii) below and Section 2.07(a), shall have an Applicable Rate determined by the Borrower and the Lender, and 

(E) may participate on a pro rata basis or less than pro rata basis (but not on a greater than pro rata basis) in any
voluntary or mandatory prepayments of Loans hereunder, as specified in the applicable Incremental Amendment; 
 (ii)
[reserved]; and 
 (iii) the Effective Yield applicable to the Incremental Loans of each Class shall be determined by the
Borrower and the Lender and shall be set forth in each applicable Incremental Amendment; provided, however, that in the case of any Incremental Loans obtained on or prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date, the Effective Yield
applicable thereto (as determined on the date of initial incurrence thereof) may not be more than 0.50% higher than the Effective Yield applicable to the Initial Loans (as determined on such date) unless the Applicable Rate with respect to the
Initial Loans is adjusted to be equal to such Effective Yield with respect to such Incremental Loans, minus, 0.50%. 
 (f)
Incremental Amendment. Commitments in respect of Incremental Loans shall become Commitments, under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan
Documents, executed by the Borrower and the Lender.
 (g) [Reserved] 

(h) [Reserved]. 
 (i)
This Section 2.14 shall supersede any provisions in Section 10.01 to the contrary. 

  
 52 








 Section 2.15 Refinancing Amendments. 

(a) On one or more occasions after the Closing Date, the Borrower may obtain, from the Lender, any portion of Refinancing Loans pursuant to a
Refinancing Amendment in accordance with this Section 2.15. 
 (b) The effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment shall be subject to
the satisfaction on the date thereof of each of the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 and, to the extent reasonably requested by the Lender, (i) receipt by the Lender of customary legal opinions, board resolutions and officers’
certificates consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date other than changes to such legal opinions resulting from a change in law, change in fact or change to counsel’s form of opinion reasonably satisfactory to the Lender and (ii)
reaffirmation agreements may be reasonably requested by the Lender in order to ensure that such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness is provided with the benefit of the applicable Loan Document. 

(c) Each issuance of Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness under Section 2.15(a) shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is
(x) not less than $20,000,000 and (y) an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. 
 (d) This Section 2.15 shall supersede
any provisions in Section 10.01 to the contrary. 
 Section 2.16 Extension of Loans.  

(a) Extension of Loans. The Borrower may at any time and from time to time request that all or a portion of the Loans of a given Class
(each, an “Existing Loan Tranche”) be amended to extend the scheduled maturity date(s) with respect to all or a portion of any principal amount of such Loans (any such Loans which have been so amended, “Extended
Loans”) and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 2.16. In order to establish any Extended Loans, the Borrower shall provide a notice to the Lender (each, a “Loan Extension
Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Loans to be established, which shall be identical to the Loans under the Existing Loan Tranche from which such Extended Loans are to be amended, except that: (i) [reserved]; (ii)
the Effective Yield with respect to the Extended Loans may be different than the Effective Yield for the Loans of such Existing Loan Tranche, in each case, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment; (iii) the Extension Amendment
may provide for other covenants and terms that apply solely to any period after the Latest Maturity Date that is in effect on the effective date of the Extension Amendment (immediately prior to the establishment of such Extended Loans); and (iv)
Extended Loans may have call protection as may be agreed by the Borrower and the Lender thereof; provided that no Extended Loans may be optionally prepaid prior to the date on which the Loans under the Existing Loan Tranche from which such
Extended Loans were amended are repaid in full, unless such optional prepayment is accompanied by at least a pro rata optional prepayment of such Existing Loan Tranche; provided, however, that (A) no Default shall have occurred and be
continuing at the time a Loan Extension Request is delivered to the Lender, (B) in no event shall the final maturity date of any Extended Loans of a given Loan Extension Series at the time of establishment thereof be earlier than the then Latest
Maturity Date of any then existing Loans hereunder, (C) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Extended Loans of a given Loan Extension Series at the time of establishment thereof shall be no shorter (other than


  
 53 








 
by virtue of amortization or prepayment of such Indebtedness prior to the time of incurrence of such Extended Loans) than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Existing Loan
Tranche, (D) [reserved], (E) any Extended Loans may participate on a pro rata basis or less than a pro rata basis (but not greater than a pro rata basis) in any voluntary or mandatory repayments or prepayments hereunder, in each case as specified in
the respective Loan Extension Request and (F) all documentation in respect of such Extension Amendment shall be consistent with the foregoing. Any Extended Loans amended pursuant to any Loan Extension Request shall be designated a series (each, a
“Loan Extension Series”) of Extended Loans for all purposes of this Agreement; provided that any Extended Loans amended from an Existing Loan Tranche may, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment, be
designated as an increase in any previously established Loan Extension Series with respect to such Existing Loan Tranche. Each Loan Extension Series of Extended Loans incurred under this Section 2.16 shall be in an aggregate principal amount
that is not less than $20,000,000. 
 (b) [Reserved]. 

(c) Extension Request. The Borrower shall provide the applicable Extension Request at least three Business Days prior to the date on
the Lender is required to respond, and shall agree to such procedures, if any, as may be established by, or acceptable to, the Lender, in each case acting reasonably to accomplish the purposes of this Section 2.16. The Lender shall not
have any obligation to agree to have any of its Loans of any Existing Loan Tranche amended into Extended Loans pursuant to any Extension Request. If the Lender wishes to have all or a portion of its Loans under the Existing Loan Tranche subject to
such Extension Request amended into Extended Loans it shall notify the Borrower on or prior to the date specified in such Extension Request of the amount of its Loans under the Existing Loan Tranche, which it has elected to request be amended into
Extended Loans. 
 (d) Extension Amendment. Extended Loans shall be established pursuant to an amendment (each, an “Extension
Amendment”) to this Agreement between the Borrower and the Lender, which shall be consistent with the provisions set forth in Sections 2.16(a) or 2.16(b) above, respectively. The effectiveness of any Extension Amendment
shall be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof of each of the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 and, to the extent reasonably requested by the Lender, receipt by the Lender of customary legal opinions, board resolutions and
officers’ certificates consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date other than changes to such legal opinions resulting from a change in law, change in fact or change to counsel’s form of opinion reasonably satisfactory to the
Lender. 
 (e) [reserved]. 

(f) This Section 2.16 shall supersede any provisions in Section 10.01 to the contrary.

 ARTICLE III 

TAXES, INCREASED COSTS PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY 

Section 3.01 Taxes. 
 (a)
Except as provided in this Section 3.01, any and all payments made by or on account of the Borrower or any Guarantor under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any and all present or
future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, assessments, deductions, fees, charges or withholdings (including backup withholding) or similar charges imposed by any Governmental Authority including interest, penalties and additions to tax (collectively
“Taxes”), except as required by applicable Law. If the Borrower, any Guarantor or other applicable withholding agent shall be required by any Laws to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan
Document to the Lender, (A) to the extent the Tax in question is an Indemnified Tax, the sum payable by the Borrower or such Guarantor shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions or withholdings (including deductions
or withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.01), the Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made, (B) the applicable withholding agent shall
make such deductions or withholdings, (C) the applicable withholding agent shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Laws, and (D) within 30 days after the date of such
payment (or, if receipts or evidence are not available within 30 days, as soon as possible thereafter), if the Borrower or any Guarantor is the applicable withholding agent, shall furnish to the Lender the original or a copy of a receipt evidencing
payment thereof or other evidence reasonably acceptable to the Lender. 
 (b) In addition, each Loan Party agrees to pay any and all
present or future stamp, court or documentary taxes and any other excise, property, intangible or mortgage recording taxes, or charges or levies of the same character, imposed by any Governmental Authority, which arise from any payment made under
any Loan Document or from the execution, delivery, performance, enforcement or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document (including additions to tax, penalties and interest related thereto) excluding, in each case, such
amounts that result from the Lender’s grant of a participation, transfer or assignment to or designation of a new applicable Lending Office or other office for receiving payments under any Loan Document (collectively, “Assignment
Taxes”) to the extent such Assignment Taxes result from a connection that the Lender has with the taxing jurisdiction other than the connection arising out of the Loan Documents or the transactions therein, except for such Assignment Taxes
resulting from assignment or participation that is requested or required in writing by the Borrower (all such non-excluded Taxes described in this Section 3.01(b) being hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”). 

(c) Each Loan Party agrees to jointly and severally indemnify the Lender for (i) the full amount of Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes
(including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 3.01) payable by or paid by the Lender and (ii) any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, in each
case whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability prepared in good faith by the Lender, accompanied by a written statement
thereof setting forth in reasonable detail the basis and calculation of such amounts, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 (d) The
Lender shall, at such times as are reasonably requested by the Borrower, provide the Borrower with any documentation prescribed by Law certifying as to any 

  
 55 








 
entitlement of the Lender to an exemption from, or reduction in, withholding Tax with respect to any payments to be made to the Lender under the Loan Documents. The Lender shall, whenever a lapse
in time or change in circumstances renders such documentation obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, deliver promptly to the Borrower updated or other appropriate documentation (including any new documentation reasonably requested by the applicable
withholding agent) or promptly notify the Borrower in writing of its legal inability to do so. Unless the applicable withholding agent has received forms or other documents satisfactory to it indicating that payments under any Loan Document to or
for the Lender are not subject to withholding Tax or are subject to such Tax at a rate reduced by an applicable tax treaty, the Borrower or other applicable withholding agent shall withhold amounts required to be withheld by applicable Law from such
payments at the applicable statutory rate. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 3.01(d), the Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this Section 3.01(d) that the Lender is not legally able to
deliver. Without limiting the foregoing: 
 (i) So long as the Lender is a United States person (as defined in Section
7701(a)(30) of the Code), it shall deliver to the Borrower on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement two properly completed and duly signed original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any successor form)
certifying that the Lender is exempt from federal backup withholding. 
 (ii) If a payment made to the Lender under any Loan
Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if the Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable),
the Lender shall deliver to the Borrower, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower, such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of
the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower as may be necessary for the Borrower to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine whether the Lender has or has not complied with the Lender’s
obligations under FATCA and, as necessary, to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 3.01(d)(iii), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the Closing
Date. 
 (e) If the Lender claims any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 3.01 and Section 3.04(a), it shall,
if requested by the Borrower, use its reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of the Lender) to change the jurisdiction of its Lending Office, if such a change would reduce any such additional amounts (including any such
additional amounts that may thereafter accrue) and would not, in the sole determination of the Lender, result in any unreimbursed cost or expense or be otherwise materially disadvantageous to the Lender. The Borrower agrees to pay all
reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Lender in connection with such change in jurisdiction. 
 (f) If the Lender receives a refund
in respect of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which indemnification or additional amounts have been paid to it by any Loan Party pursuant to this Section 3.01, it shall promptly remit such refund to such Loan Party (but only to the
extent of indemnification or additional amounts paid by such Loan Party under this 

  
 56 








 
Section 3.01 with respect to Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including any Taxes) of the Lender, and without interest
(other than any interest paid by the relevant taxing authority with respect to such refund); provided that such Loan Party, upon the request of the Lender, agrees promptly to return such refund (plus any penalties, interest or other
charges imposed by the relevant taxing authority) to such party in the event such party is required to repay such refund to the relevant taxing authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.01(f), in no event will a Lender be
required to pay any amount to a Loan Party pursuant to this Section 3.01(f) the payment of which would place the Lender in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the Lender would have been if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise
to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This Section 3.01 shall not be construed to require the Lender to
make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other person.

Section 3.02 [Reserved].  

Section 3.03 [Reserved]. 

Section 3.04 Increased Cost and Reduced Return; Capital Adequacy. 

(a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, for all purposes under this Agreement, (x) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer
Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (y) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking
Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to be a change in law, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued. 

(b) If the Lender determines that the introduction of any Law regarding capital adequacy or liquidity requirements or any change therein or in
the interpretation thereof, in each case after the Closing Date, or compliance by the Lender (or its Lending Office) therewith, has the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of the Lender or any Person controlling the Lender as a
consequence of the Lender’s obligations hereunder (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity and the Lender’s desired return on capital), then from time to time upon demand of the Lender setting
forth in reasonable detail the charge and the calculation of such reduced rate of return, the Borrower shall pay to the Lender such additional amounts as will compensate the Lender for such reduction within 15 days after receipt of such demand. 

(c) Failure or delay on the part of the Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 3.04 shall not constitute a waiver of
the Lender’s right to demand such compensation. 
 (d) If the Lender requests compensation under this Section 3.04, then the
Lender will, if requested by the Borrower, use commercially reasonable efforts to designate another Lending Office for any Loan affected by such event; provided that such efforts are made 

  
 57 








 
on terms that, in the reasonable judgment of the Lender, cause the Lender and its Lending Office(s) to suffer no material economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage; and provided, further,
that nothing in this Section 3.04(e) shall affect or postpone any of the Obligations of the Borrower or the rights of the Lender pursuant to Sections 3.04(a) or 3.04(b). 

Section 3.05 [Reserved]. 

Section 3.06 Matters Applicable to All Requests for Compensation. 

(a) If the Lender claims compensation under this Article III it shall deliver a certificate to the Borrower setting forth the
additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder which shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, the Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. 

(b) With respect to the Lender’s claim for compensation under Sections 3.01, 3.02, 3.03 or 3.04, the Borrower
shall not be required to compensate the Lender for any amount incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that the Lender notifies the Borrower of the event that gives rise to such claim; provided that if the circumstance giving rise to
such claim is retroactive, then such 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. 

Section 3.07 [Reserved]. 

Section 3.08 Survival. 

All of the Borrower’s obligations under this Article III shall survive termination of the Commitments and repayment of all other
Obligations hereunder.

consequential damages relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or arising out of its activities in connection herewith or therewith (whether before or after the Closing Date) (other than, in the case of any Loan Party, in respect of any
such damages incurred or paid by an Indemnitee to a third party and for any out-of-pocket expenses); it being agreed that this sentence shall not limit the indemnification obligations of the Borrower or any Subsidiary. In the case of an
investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 10.05 applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Loan Party, any
Subsidiary of any Loan Party, its directors, stockholders or creditors or an Indemnitee or any other Person, whether or not any Indemnitee is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not any of the transactions contemplated hereunder or under any of
the other Loan Documents are consummated. All amounts due under this Section 10.05 shall be paid within 30 days after written demand therefor (together with backup documentation supporting such reimbursement request); provided,
however, that such Indemnitee shall promptly refund the amount of any payment to the extent that there is a final and non-appealable judgment from a court of competent jurisdiction that such Indemnitee was not entitled to indemnification rights
with respect to such payment pursuant to the express terms of this Section 10.05. The agreements in this Section 10.05 shall survive the replacement of the Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the
repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 10.05 shall not apply to Taxes, except any Taxes that represent liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands,
actions, prepayments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements arising from any non-Tax claims. 
 Section 10.06 Payments Set Aside.

 To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower is made to the Lender, or the Lender exercises its right of setoff, and
such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Lender in its discretion) to be
repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall, to the
fullest extent possible under provisions of applicable Law, be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred. 

Section 10.07 Successors and Assigns. 

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and
assigns permitted hereby, except that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder 

  
 105 








 
without the prior written consent of the Lender (except as permitted by Section 7.04) and the Lender may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except
(i) to an Eligible Assignee or (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.07(f). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto,
their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in Section 10.07(f) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Indemnitees) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or
by reason of this Agreement. 
 (b) [reserved]. 

(c) [reserved]. 
 (d)
[reserved]. 
 (e) [reserved]. 

(f) The Lender may at any time sell participations to any Person, subject to the proviso to Section 10.07(a) (each, a
“Participant”), in all or a portion of the Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) the Lender’s
obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) the Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower shall continue to deal solely and directly with the
Lender in connection with the Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which the Lender sells such a participation shall provide that the Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that the Lender will not,
without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the second proviso to Section 10.01 that requires the affirmative vote of the Lender. Subject to
Section 10.07(g), the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 (subject to the requirements and limitations of such Sections) to the same
extent as if it were the Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 10.07(c). To the extent permitted by applicable Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.09 as
though it were the Lender. When it sells a participation the Lender shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal
amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that the Lender shall not have any obligation to disclose all or
any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans or its other obligations under any Loan Document) except to the
extent that such disclosure is necessary in connection with an audit or other proceeding to establish that such Commitment, Loan, or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Department of the Treasury
regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive and the Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding
any notice to the contrary. 

  
 106 








 (g) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections
3.01, 3.04 or 3.05 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s
prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. 
 (h) The Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, at any time
pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of the Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank
or other central bank having jurisdiction over the Lender; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release the Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for the Lender as a party hereto.

 (i) [reserved]. 
 (j)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, without the consent of the Borrower, the Lender may in accordance with applicable Law create a security interest in all or any portion of the Loans owing to it and the Note, if any, held by
it. 
 (k) [reserved]. 
 (l)
[reserved]. 
 (m) The Lender may, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing t, at any time, assign all or a
portion of its rights and obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement to the Borrower through, notwithstanding Section 2.12 or any other provision in this Agreement, open market purchase on a non-pro rata basis; provided
that in connection with such assignments, (A) the principal amount of such Loans, along with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, so assigned or transferred to the Borrower shall be deemed automatically cancelled and extinguished on the date
of such contribution, assignment or transfer and (B) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Loans shall reflect such cancellation and extinguishing of the Loans then held by the Borrower.

The Lender agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information and not to disclose such information, except that Information may be
disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and its Affiliates’ managers, administrators, directors, officers, employees, trustees, partners, investors, investment advisors and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being
understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential); (b) to the extent requested by any Governmental Authority or
self-regulatory authority having or asserting jurisdiction over such Person (including any Governmental Authority or examiner (including the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any other similar organization) regulating the Lender or
its Affiliates); provided that the Lender agrees that it will notify the Borrower as 

  
 107 








 
soon as practicable in the event of any such disclosure by such Person (other than at the request of a regulatory authority or examiner) unless such notification is prohibited by law, rule or
regulation; (c) [reserved]; (d) to the extent required by applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process; provided that the Lender agrees that it will notify the Borrower as soon as practicable in the event of any

Information becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.08 or becomes available to the Lender or any of its Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than a Loan Party or any Investor or
their respective Affiliates (so long as such source is not known to the Lender, or any of its Affiliates to be bound by confidentiality obligations to any Loan Party); (i) to any Governmental Authority or examiner (including the National Association
of Insurance Commissioners or any other similar organization) regulating the Lender; (j) to any rating agency when required by it (it being understood that, prior to any such disclosure, such rating agency shall undertake to preserve the
confidentiality of any Information relating to Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries received by it from the Lender) or to the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar organization; (k) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder, under any
other Loan Document or the enforcement of its rights hereunder or thereunder or (l) to the extent such Information is independently developed by the Lender, or any of its Affiliates. In addition, the Lender may disclose the existence of this
Agreement and publicly available information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry, and service providers to the Lender in connection with the administration and management of this
Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Commitments, and the Credit Extensions. For the purposes of this Section 10.08, “Information” means all information received from the Loan Parties relating to any Loan Party, its

the Lender prior to disclosure by any Loan Party other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.08; provided that all information received after the Closing Date from the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries shall be deemed
confidential unless such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as not being confidential.

any Event of Default, the Lender and its Affiliates is authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to the Borrower, any such 

  
 108 








 
notice being waived by the Borrower (on their own behalf and on behalf of each Loan Party and each of its Subsidiaries) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, to set off and apply any
and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held by, and other Indebtedness at any time owing by, the Lender and its Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of the respective Loan Parties and their
Subsidiaries against any and all Obligations owing to the Lender and its Affiliates hereunder or under any other Loan Document, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not the Lender or its Affiliate shall have made demand under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such Obligations may be contingent or unmatured or denominated in a currency different from that of the applicable deposit or Indebtedness. The rights of the Lender under this
Section 10.09 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that the Lender may have. No amounts set off from any Guarantor shall be applied to any Excluded Swap Obligations of such Guarantor. 

Section 10.10 Interest Rate Limitation. 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall
not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If the Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the
principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, the Lender may, to the extent permitted by
applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal
parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

original executed counterpart of this Agreement and such other Loan Document. The Lender may also require that any such documents and signatures delivered by telecopier or other electronic transmission be confirmed by a manually signed original
thereof; provided that the failure to request or deliver the same shall not limit the effectiveness of any document or signature delivered by telecopier or other electronic transmission. 

Section 10.12 Integration; Termination. 

This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, comprises the complete and integrated agreement of the parties on the subject matter
hereof and thereof and supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, on such subject matter. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and those of any other Loan Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall
control; provided that the inclusion of supplemental rights or remedies in favor of the Lender in any other Loan Document shall not be deemed a conflict with this Agreement. 

  
 109 








 
Each Loan Document was drafted with the joint participation of the respective parties thereto and shall be construed neither against nor in favor of any party, but rather in accordance with the
fair meaning thereof.

connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Lender, regardless of any investigation made by the Lender or on its behalf and
notwithstanding that the Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or

enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such
provision in any other jurisdiction.

with normal banking procedures the Lender could purchase the specified currency with such other currency on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligations of the Borrower in respect of any sum due to the Lender

by acceleration or otherwise) any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Guarantors will promptly pay the same in cash, without any demand or notice whatsoever, and that in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Guaranteed
Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due (whether at extended maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such extension or renewal.

applicable Law, are absolute, irrevocable and unconditional, joint and several, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement, the Notes, if any, or
any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, or any substitution, release or exchange of any other guarantee of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise
constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or Guarantor (except for payment in full). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not alter or
impair the liability of the Guarantors hereunder which shall remain absolute, irrevocable and unconditional under any and all circumstances as described above:

payment by or on behalf of the Borrower or other Loan Party in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in insolvency,
bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise.

all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations not yet accrued and payable), it shall waive any claim and shall not exercise any right or remedy, direct or indirect, arising by reason of any performance by it of its guarantee in
Section 11.01, whether by subrogation or otherwise, against the Borrower or any other Guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations any of the Guaranteed Obligations. Any Indebtedness of any Loan Party permitted pursuant to Sections

Section 11.05 Remedies. 

The Guarantors jointly and severally agree that, as between the Guarantors and the Lender, the obligations of the Borrower under this
Agreement and the Notes, if any, may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Section 8.02 (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in Section 8.02) for purposes
of Section 11.01, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or such obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against the Borrower and that, in the event of such declaration
(or such obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), such obligations (whether or not due and payable by the Borrower) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for purposes of
Section 11.01. 

  
 115 








 Section 11.06 Instrument for the Payment of Money.

consents and agrees that the Lender, at its sole option, in the event of a dispute by such Guarantor in the payment of any moneys due hereunder, shall have the right to bring a motion-action under New York CPLR Section 3213. 

Section 11.07 Continuing Guaranty. 

The guarantee in this Article XI is a continuing guarantee of payment, and shall apply to all Guaranteed Obligations whenever arising.

unenforceable, or subordinated to the claims of any other creditors, on account of the amount of its liability under Section 11.01, then, notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any
further action by such Guarantor, any Loan Party or any other person, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount (after giving effect to the right of contribution established in Section 11.11) that is valid and enforceable and
not subordinated to the claims of other creditors as determined in such action or proceeding. For purposes of the foregoing, all Guarantees of such Guarantor other than the Guaranty shall be deemed to be enforceable and payable after the Guaranty.

Each Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the Borrower’s financial condition and assets, and of
all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that each Guarantor assumes and incurs under this Guaranty, and agrees that the Lender shall not have any duty to
advise any Guarantor of information known to it regarding those circumstances or risks. 
 Section 11.10 Release of Guarantors. 

If, in compliance with the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents, (i) all or substantially all of the Equity Interests or property of any
Guarantor are sold or otherwise transferred to a person or persons, none of which is a Loan Party or (ii) any Subsidiary Guarantor becomes an Excluded Subsidiary (any such Subsidiary Guarantor described in the foregoing clause (i) or (ii), a
“Released Guarantor”), such Released Guarantor shall, upon the consummation of such sale or transfer or upon becoming an Excluded Subsidiary, be automatically released from its obligations under this Agreement (including under
Section 10.05 hereof). 
 Upon the Discharge of Obligations, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the guarantees made herein
shall terminate with respect to all Obligations, except with respect to 

  
 116 








 
Obligations that expressly survive such Discharge of Obligations pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. Any execution and delivery of any document pursuant to
the preceding sentence of this Section 11.10 shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Lender. 
 Section 11.11 Right of
Contribution. 
 Each Guarantor hereby agrees that to the extent that a Subsidiary Guarantor shall have paid more than its proportionate
share of any payment made hereunder, such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against any other Guarantor hereunder which has not paid its proportionate share of such payment (based on an equitable
apportionment of such payment among all Guarantors based on the relative value of their assets and any other equitable considerations deemed appropriate by a court of competent jurisdiction). Each Subsidiary Guarantor’s right of contribution
shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 11.04. The provisions of this Section 11.11 shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Subsidiary Guarantor to the Lender, and each Subsidiary Guarantor
shall remain liable to the Lender for the full amount guaranteed by such Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder.

Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, dated as of August 30, 2016 (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise
modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among ESH Hospitality, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), the Guarantors party thereto from time to time and Extended Stay America, Inc., a Delaware
corporation, as Lender, the undersigned hereby certifies, solely in such undersigned’s capacity as chief financial officer of the Borrower, and not individually, as follows: 

As of the date hereof, after giving effect to the consummation of the Transactions, including the making of the Loans under the Credit
Agreement on the date hereof, and after giving effect to the application of the proceeds of such Loans: 
  

	 	a.	the fair value of the assets of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, exceeds, on a consolidated basis, their debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise; 


 

	 	b.	the present fair saleable value of the property of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, is greater than the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability, on a consolidated basis, of
their debts and other liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and other liabilities become absolute and matured; 

  

	 	c.	the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, are able to pay their debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such liabilities become absolute and matured; and 


 

	 	d.	the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, are not engaged in, and are not about to engage in, business for which they have unreasonably small capital. 


For purposes of this certificate, the amount of any contingent liability at any time shall be computed as the amount that would reasonably be
expected to become an actual and matured liability. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Credit Agreement. 

The undersigned is familiar with the business and financial position of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries. In reaching the conclusions set
forth in this certificate, the undersigned has made such other investigations and inquiries as the undersigned has deemed appropriate, having taken into account the nature of the particular business anticipated to be conducted by the Borrower and
its Subsidiaries after consummation of the Transactions.
