specify (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Loans to be incurred pursuant to such Borrowing, (ii) the date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the initial Interest Period to be applicable to such Borrowing

the terms of such telephonic notice of such Borrowing or prepayment of Loans, as the case may be, absent manifest error. 
 2.04
Disbursement of Funds. No later than 12:00 Noon (New York time) on the date specified in each Notice of Borrowing, each Lender will make available its pro rata portion (determined in accordance with Section 2.06) of

(New York time) on such day to the extent of funds actually received by the Administrative Agent prior to 12:00 Noon (New York time) on such day) at the Payment Office, in the account specified in the applicable Notice of Borrowing, the aggregate of
the amounts so made available by the Lenders. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the date of Borrowing that such Lender does not intend to make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s
portion of any Borrowing to be made on such date, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on such date of Borrowing and the Administrative Agent may in its sole discretion (but
shall not, for the avoidance of doubt, be obligated to), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender
and such amount is advanced to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon
the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent also shall be
entitled to recover on demand from such Lender or the Borrower, as the case may be, interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was 

  
 34 


  

-34- 







 
made available by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower until the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to (i) if recovered
from such Lender, the overnight Federal Funds Rate for the first three days and at the interest rate otherwise applicable to such Loans for each day thereafter and (ii) if recovered from the Borrower, the rate of interest applicable to the
respective Borrowing, as determined pursuant to Section 2.07. Nothing in this Section 2.04 shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to make Loans hereunder or to prejudice any rights which the Borrower may
have against any Lender as a result of any failure by such Lender to make Loans hereunder. 
 2.05 Notes. (a) The
Borrower’s obligation to pay the principal of, and interest on, the Loans made by each Lender shall be evidenced in the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 14.15 and shall, if requested by such Lender
as provided below, also be evidenced by a promissory note duly executed and delivered by the Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit B, with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith (each a “Note” and,
collectively, the “Notes”). 
 (b) The Note issued to each Lender that has a Commitment or outstanding Loans shall
(i) be executed by the Borrower, (ii) be payable to the order of such Lender or its registered assigns and be dated the Original Closing Date or, in the case of Notes issued after the Original Closing Date, be dated the date of the

payable in the outstanding principal amount of the Loans evidenced thereby, (iv) mature on the Maturity Date for the Class of Commitments or Loans evidenced thereby, (v) bear
interest as provided in Section 2.07, (vi) be subject to voluntary prepayment and mandatory repayment as provided in Sections 5.01 and 5.02 and (vii) be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement and the other
Credit Documents. 
 (c) Each Lender will note on its internal records the amount of each Loan made by it and each payment in respect thereof
and, prior to any transfer of any of its Notes, will endorse on the reverse side thereof the outstanding principal amount of Loans evidenced thereby. Failure to make any such notation or any error in such notation or endorsement shall not affect the
Borrower’s obligations in respect of such Loans. 
 (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above in this
Section 2.05 or elsewhere in this Agreement, Notes shall only be delivered to Lenders which at any time specifically request the delivery of such Notes. No failure of any Lender to request or obtain a Note evidencing its Loans to the
Borrower shall affect or in any manner impair the obligations of the Borrower to pay the Loans (and all related Obligations) incurred by the Borrower which would otherwise be evidenced thereby in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement,
and shall not in any way affect the security or guaranties therefor provided pursuant to the various Credit Documents. Any Lender which does not have a Note evidencing its outstanding Loans shall in no event be required to make the notations
otherwise described in preceding clause (c). At any time when any Lender requests the delivery of a Note to evidence any of its Loans, the Borrower shall (at its expense) promptly execute and deliver to the respective Lender the requested
Note in the appropriate amount or amounts to evidence such Loans.

from the Lenders pro rata on the basis of their respective Percentages. It is understood that no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender of its obligation to make Loans hereunder and that each Lender shall be obligated
to make the Loans provided to be made by it hereunder, regardless of the failure of any other Lender to make its Loans hereunder.

each Interest Period applicable thereto, be equal to (except as otherwise provided in Section 2.09(c)) the sum of the Applicable Margin applicable plus the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period. 

(b) If the Borrower fails to pay any amount payable by it under a Credit Document on its due date, interest shall accrue on the overdue amount
(in the case of overdue interest to the extent permitted by law) from the due date up to the date of actual payment (both before and after judgment) at a rate which is, subject to paragraph (c) below, 2% plus the rate which would
have been payable if the overdue amount had, during the period of non payment, constituted a Loan for successive Interest Periods, each of a duration selected by the Administrative Agent. Any interest accruing under this Section 2.07(b)
shall be immediately payable by the Borrower on demand by the Administrative Agent. 
 (c) If any overdue amount consists of all or part of a
Loan which became due on a day which was not the last day of an Interest Period relating to such Loan: 
 (i) the first
Interest Period for that overdue amount shall have a duration equal to the unexpired portion of the current Interest Period relating to that Loan; and 

(ii) the rate of interest applying to the overdue amount during that first Interest Period shall be 2% plus the rate which
would have applied if the overdue amount had not become due. 
 (d) Default interest (if unpaid) arising on an overdue amount will be
compounded with the overdue amount at the end of each Interest Period applicable to that overdue amount but will remain immediately due and payable. 

(e) Accrued (and theretofore unpaid) interest shall be payable (x) on the last day of each Interest Period applicable thereto and, in the
case of an Interest Period in excess of three months, on each date occurring at three month intervals after the first day of such Interest Period, and (y) on the date of any repayment or prepayment (on the amount repaid or prepaid), at maturity
(whether by acceleration or otherwise) and, after such maturity, on demand. 
 (f) Upon each Interest Determination Date, the Administrative
Agent shall determine the Eurodollar Rate for each Interest Period applicable to the respective Loans and shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders thereof. Each such determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and
binding on all parties hereto.

month, such Interest Period shall expire on the immediately preceding Business Day; 
 (v) no Interest Period longer than
three months may be selected at any time when a Default or an Event of Default is then in existence; 
 (vi) no Interest
Period in respect of any Borrowing of Loans shall be selected which extends beyond the Extended Commitment Maturity Date; and 

(vii) the selection of Interest Periods shall be subject to the provisions of Section 2.02. 

2.09 Increased Costs, Illegality, Market Disruption, etc. (a) In the event that any Lender shall have determined (which determination
shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto): 
 (i) at any time, that such
Lender shall incur increased costs or reductions in the amounts received or receivable hereunder with respect to any Loan 

  
 37 


  

-37- 







 because of, without duplication, the introduction of or effectiveness of or any change since the
Amendment and Restatement Effective Date in any applicable law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline, directive or request (whether or not having the force of law) concerning capital
adequacy, liquidity or otherwise or in the interpretation or administration thereof and including the introduction of any new law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline or
request, such as, for example, but not limited to: (A) subject to the last sentence of this Section 2.09(a), a change subjecting any Lender to any tax, duty or other charge with respect to any Loan, Notes or Letter of Credit, of its
obligation to make such Loan or issue such Letter of Credit, or change in the basis of taxation of payment to any Lender of the principal of or interest on the Loans or the Notes or any other amounts payable hereunder, (B) a change in official
reserve requirements but, in all events, excluding reserves required under Regulation D to the extent included in the computation of the Eurodollar Rate, or (C) a change that will have the effect of increasing the amount of capital
adequacy or liquidity required or requested by an applicable governmental regulatory authority to be maintained by such Lender, or any corporation controlling such Lender, based on the
existence of such Lender’s Commitments hereunder or its obligations hereunder; 
 (ii) at any time, that the making or
continuance of any Loan has been made unlawful by any law or governmental rule, regulation or order; or 
 (iii) at any
time, that such Lender shall incur increased costs or reductions in the amounts received or receivable hereunder with respect to any Loan as a result of any Redomestication of the Borrower; 

then, and in any such event, such Lender shall promptly give notice (by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and, in the case of clause
(ii) above, to the Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Lenders). Thereafter (x) in the case of clause (i) and (iii) above, the Borrower agrees
(to the extent applicable), to pay to such Lender, upon its written demand therefor, such additional amounts as shall be required to compensate such Lender or such other corporation for the increased costs or reductions to such Lender or such other
corporation and (y) in the case of clause (ii) above, the Borrower shall take one of the actions specified in Section 2.09(b) as promptly as possible and, in any event, within the time period required by law. In determining
such additional amounts, each Lender will act reasonably and in good faith and will use averaging and attribution methods which are reasonable, provided that such Lender’s determination of compensation owing under this Section 2.09(a)
shall, absent manifest error be final and conclusive and binding on all the parties hereto. Each Lender, upon determining that any additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 2.09(a), will give prompt written notice
thereof to the Borrower, which notice shall show in reasonable detail the basis for the calculation of such additional amounts. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no payment shall be due under this Section 2.09(a) for any
Excluded Tax or for any amount to the extent it is duplicative of an amount payable in respect of Taxes pursuant to Section 5.04. 

(b) At any time that any Loan is affected by the circumstances described in Section 2.09(a)(i), (ii) or (iii),
the Borrower may (and in the case of a Loan affected by the circumstances described in Section 2.09(a)(ii) shall) either (x) if the affected Loan is then being 

  
 38 


  

-38- 







 
made initially, cancel the respective Borrowing by giving the Administrative Agent telephonic notice (confirmed in writing) on the same date or the next Business Day that such Borrower was
notified by the affected Lender or the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.09(a)(i), (ii) or (iii) or (y) if the affected Loan is then outstanding, upon at least three Business Days’ written
notice to the Administrative Agent, in the case of any Loan, repay all outstanding Borrowings (within the time period required by the applicable law or governmental rule, governmental regulation or governmental order) which include such affected
Loans in full in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 5.02; provided that if more than one Lender is affected at any time, then all affected Lenders must be treated the same pursuant to this
Section 2.09(b). 
 (c) If a Market Disruption Event occurs in relation to a Loan for any Interest Period, then the rate of
interest on each Lender’s share of such Loan for the relevant Interest Period shall be the percentage rate per annum which is the sum of: 

(i) the Applicable Margin; and 

(ii) the rate determined by the Administrative Agent and notified to the Borrower as being the actual blended cost to all
Lenders (based on the rate determined by each Lender and notified to the Administrative Agent as being the actual cost to such Lender) of funding their participations in such Loan for a period equivalent to such Interest Period from whatever source
they may reasonably select. 
 (d) If a Market Disruption Event occurs and the Administrative Agent or the Borrower so requires, the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall enter into negotiations (for a period of not more than thirty days) with a view to agreeing a substitute basis for determining the rate of interest. Any alternative basis agreed pursuant to the immediately
preceding sentence shall, with the prior consent of all the Lenders and the Borrower, be binding on all parties. If no agreement is reached pursuant to this clause (d), the rate provided for in clause (c) above shall apply for the
entire Interest Period. 
 (e) If any Reference Bank ceases to be a Lender under this Agreement, (x) it shall cease to be a Reference
Bank and (y) the Administrative Agent shall, with the approval (which shall not be unreasonably withheld) of the Borrower, nominate as soon as reasonably practicable another Lender to be a Reference Bank in place of such Reference Bank. 

(f) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (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 or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to be a change after the
Amendment and Restatement Effective Date in an applicable law or governmental rule, regulation or order, regardless of the date enacted, adopted, issued or implemented for all purposes under or in connection with this Agreement (including this
Section 2.09). 
 2.10 Compensation. The Borrower agrees to compensate each Lender, upon its written request (which
request shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such 

  
 39 


  

-39- 







 
compensation), for all reasonable losses, expenses and liabilities (including, without limitation, any loss, expense or liability incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits
or other funds required by such Lender to fund its Loans but excluding loss of anticipated profits) which such Lender may sustain: (i) if for any reason (other than a default by such Lender or the Administrative Agent) a Borrowing does not
occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing (whether or not withdrawn by the Borrower or deemed withdrawn pursuant to Section 2.09(a)); (ii) if any prepayment or repayment (including any prepayment or repayment made
pursuant to Section 2.09(a), Section 5.01, Section 5.02 or as a result of an acceleration of the Loans pursuant to Section 11) of any of its Loans, or assignment of any of its Loans pursuant to
Section 2.12, occurs on a date which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto; (iii) if any prepayment of any of its Loans is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by the Borrower; or
(iv) as a consequence of any other default by the Borrower to repay Loans or make payment on any Note held by such Lender when required by the terms of this Agreement. 

2.11 Change of Lending Office; Limitation on Additional Amounts. Each Lender agrees that upon the occurrence of any event giving rise
to the operation of Section 2.09(a)(i), (ii) or (iii), Section 2.09(b), Section 3.06 or Section 5.04 with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrower, use
reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Loans or Letters of Credit affected by such event, provided that such designation is made on such terms that such Lender
and its lending office suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, with the object of avoiding the consequence of the event giving rise to the operation of such Section. Nothing in this Section 2.11 shall affect or postpone any
of the obligations of the Borrower or the right of any Lender provided in Sections 2.09, 3.06 and 5.04. 
 2.12
Replacement of Lenders. (v) If any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender or otherwise defaults in its obligations to make Loans or fund Unpaid Drawings, (w) upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of
Section 2.09(a)(i), (ii) or (iii), Section 2.09(b), Section 3.06 or Section 5.04 with respect to any Lender which results in such Lender charging to the Borrower increased costs in excess of
those being generally charged by the other Lenders, (x) as provided in Section 14.12(b) in the case of certain refusals by a Lender to consent to certain proposed changes, waivers, discharges or terminations with respect to this
Agreement which have been approved by the Required Lenders, (y) if any Lender becomes an Objecting Lender pursuant to the definition of “Redomestication” or (z) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in clause (x) above,
any Lender shall refuse to consent to a Redomestication under the laws of a jurisdiction that requires Required Lender consent pursuant to the definition of “Redomestication,” the Borrower shall have the right, if no Default or Event of
Default then exists (or, in the case of preceding clause (x), will exist immediately after giving effect to the respective replacement), to replace such Lender (the “Replaced Lender”) with one or more other Eligible Transferee or
Eligible Transferees, none of whom shall constitute a Defaulting Lender at the time of such replacement (collectively, the “Replacement Lender”) and each of whom shall be required to be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative
Agent, provided that: 
 (i) at the time of any replacement pursuant to this Section 2.12, the
Replacement Lender shall enter into one or more Assignment and Assumption Agreements pursuant to Section 14.04(b) (and with all fees payable pursuant to said Section 14.04(b) to be paid by the Replacement Lender) pursuant to
which the Replacement Lender shall 

  
 40 


  

-40- 







 
acquire all of the Commitments and outstanding Loans of, and in each case participations in Letters of Credit by, the Replaced Lender and, in connection therewith, shall pay to (x) the
Replaced Lender in respect thereof an amount equal to the sum of (I) an amount equal to the principal of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, all outstanding Loans of the Replaced Lender (II) an amount equal to all Unpaid Drawings that have
been funded by (and not reimbursed to) such Replaced Lender, together with all then accrued and unpaid interest with respect thereto at such time, and (III) an amount equal to all accrued, but theretofore unpaid, Fees owing to the Replaced Lender
pursuant to Section 4.01 and (y) each Issuing Lender an amount equal to such Replaced Lender’s Percentage of any Unpaid Drawing (which at such time remains an Unpaid Drawing) to the extent such amount was not theretofore funded
by such Replaced Lender to such Issuing Lender, together with all then accrued and unpaid interest with respect thereto at such time; and 

(ii) all obligations of the Borrower due and owing to the Replaced Lender at such time (other than those specifically
described in clause (i) above in respect of which the assignment purchase price has been, or is concurrently being, paid) shall be paid in full to such Replaced Lender concurrently with such replacement. 

Upon the execution of the respective Assignment and Assumption Agreement, the payment of amounts referred to in clauses (i) and
(ii) above and, if so requested by the Replacement Lender, delivery to the Replacement Lender of the appropriate Note or Notes executed by the Borrower, the Replacement Lender shall become a Lender hereunder and the Replaced Lender shall cease
to constitute a Lender hereunder, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 2.09, 2.10, 3.06, 5.04, 12.06 and 14.01), which shall survive
as to such Replaced Lender. 
 2.13 Conversion of Non-Extending Commitments after
the Second Amendment Effective Date. After the Second Amendment Effective Date but prior to the Non-Extended Commitment Maturity Date, any Non-Extending Lender may convert all (but not less than all) of its Non-Extended Commitments into Extended
Commitments pursuant a written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower and in form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in which such Lender elects to convert all (but not less than all) of its Non-Extended
Commitments into Extended Commitments; provided that at such time, Schedule I shall be deemed modified to reflect such conversion. Any Lender that converts its Non-Extended Commitments into Extended Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.13 may
receive a fee from the Borrower as compensation for such election so long as such fee (expressed as a percentage of such Lender’s Extended Commitments) does not exceed the fee paid to each Extending Lender that became an Extending Lender on the
Second Amendment Effective Date (as a percentage of such Extending Lender’s Extended Commitments on such date). Any Loans of any Lender that converts its Non-Extended Commitments into Extended Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.13
shall automatically be deemed to have been incurred or made pursuant to Extended Commitments and issued by an Extending Lender, in each case for all purposes of this Agreement from the date of such conversion.

 SECTION 3. Letters of Credit. 

3.01 Letters of Credit. (a) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower and/or any of its
Subsidiaries may request that an Issuing Lender issue, at any time and from time to time on and after the Original Closing Date and prior to the 30th day prior to the Maturity Date of the Class
of Loans of such Issuing Lender (or its Lender affiliate, as applicable), for the account of the Borrower and/or any of its Subsidiaries, a bank guarantee or an irrevocable standby letter of credit, in a form customarily used by such Issuing
Lender or in such other form as is reasonably acceptable to such Issuing Lender to support obligations (other than obligations related to (x) any indebtedness that is subordinated to the Obligations and (y) equity interests) of the
Borrower and/or any of its Subsidiaries which are reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Lender (each such bank guarantee or letter of credit, a “Letter of Credit” and, collectively, the “Letters of Credit”). All
Letters of Credit shall be denominated in Dollars and shall be issued on a sight basis only. For the avoidance of doubt, Letters of Credit outstanding under the Original Credit Agreement on the Amendment and Restatement Effective Date shall be
deemed to be Letters of Credit hereunder, and each Issuing Lender of the Letters of Credit outstanding under the Original Credit Agreement on the Amendment and Restatement Effective Date shall be deemed to have granted to each Participant, and each
Participant shall be deemed to have acquired from each such Issuing Lender, a participation in each such outstanding Letter of Credit, equal to such Participant’s Percentage in each such Letter of Credit. Such participations shall be on all the
same terms and conditions as participations granted under Section 3.04 in all other Letters of Credit issued or to be issued hereunder. 

(b) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Issuing Lender agrees that it will, at any time and from time to time
on and after the Original Closing Date and prior to the 30th day prior to the Maturity Date of the Class of Loans of such Issuing Lender (or its Lender affiliate, as applicable), following
its receipt of the respective Letter of Credit Request, issue for the account of the Borrower and/or any of its Subsidiaries, one or more Letters of Credit as are permitted to remain outstanding hereunder without giving rise to a Default or an Event
of Default. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Issuing Lender shall be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit of the types described above if at the time of such issuance: 

(i) any order, judgment or decree of any governmental authority or arbitrator shall purport by its terms to enjoin or restrain
such Issuing Lender from issuing such Letter of Credit or any requirement of law applicable to such Issuing Lender or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any governmental authority with jurisdiction over such
Issuing Lender shall prohibit, or request that such Issuing Lender refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such Issuing Lender with respect to such Letter of Credit any
restriction or reserve or capital requirement (for which such Issuing Lender is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect with respect to such Issuing Lender on the date hereof, or any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not
applicable or in effect with respect to such Issuing Lender as of the date hereof and which such Issuing Lender reasonably and in good faith deems material to it; 

(ii) such Issuing Lender shall have received from the Borrower, any other Credit Party or the Required Lenders prior to the
issuance of such Letter of Credit notice of the type described in the second sentence of Section 3.03(b); or 

  
 42 


  

-42- 







 (iii) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, unless such Issuing Lender has entered
into arrangements with the Borrower or such Defaulting Lender satisfactory to such Issuing Lender and the Borrower to eliminate such Issuing Lender’s risk with respect to such Defaulting Lender, including by requiring the Borrower to cash
collateralize such Defaulting Lender’s Percentage of Letters of Credit Outstanding (any such arrangements, the “Letter of Credit Back-Stop Arrangements”). 

3.02 Maximum Letters of Credit Outstanding; Maturities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement,
(i) no Letter of Credit shall be issued the Stated Amount of which, when added to the Letters of Credit Outstanding (exclusive of Unpaid Drawings which are repaid on the date of, and prior to the issuance of, the respective Letter of Credit) at
such time would exceed, when added to the aggregate principal amount of all Loans then outstanding, an amount equal to the Total Commitment at such time, (ii) no Letter of Credit shall be issued the Stated Amount of which, when added to the
Letters of Credit Outstanding (exclusive of Unpaid Drawings which are repaid on the date of, and prior to the issuance of, the respective Letter of Credit) at such time would exceed $50,000,000, and (iii) each Letter of Credit
shall by its terms terminate on or before the earlier of (A) the date which occurs 12 months after the date of the issuance thereof (although any such standby Letter of Credit shall be extendible for successive periods of up to 12 months, but,
in each case, not beyond the tenth Business Day prior to the Maturity Date of the Class of Loans of the Issuing Lender (or its Lender affiliate, as applicable), on terms acceptable to the
respective Issuing Lender) and (B) 10 Business Days prior to the Maturity DateExtended Commitment Maturity Date and (iv) no Letter of Credit that has a stated expiry
date after the Non-Extended Commitment Maturity Date shall be issued if the Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit, when added to the aggregate Stated Amount of all Letters of Credit Outstanding (exclusive of Unpaid Drawings which are repaid on the
date of, and prior to the issuance of, the respective Letter of Credit) that have stated expiry dates after the Non-Extended Commitment Maturity Date and the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Loans then outstanding, would exceed the
aggregate amount of the Extended Commitments then in effect. 
 3.03 Letter of Credit Requests; Minimum Stated Amount.
(a) Whenever the Borrower desires that a Letter of Credit be issued for its account or the account of any of its Subsidiaries, the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent and the respective Issuing Lender at least three Business Days’
(or such shorter period as is acceptable to such Issuing Lender) written notice thereof (including by way of facsimile). Each notice shall be in the form of Exhibit C, appropriately completed (each a “Letter of Credit
Request”). 
 (b) The making of each Letter of Credit Request shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by the Borrower to
the Lenders that such Letter of Credit may be issued in accordance with, and will not violate the requirements of, Section 3.02. Unless the respective Issuing Lender has received notice from the Borrower, any other Credit Party or the
Required Lenders before it issues a Letter of Credit that one or more of the conditions specified in Section 7 hereof are not then satisfied, or that the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate Section 3.02, then such
Issuing Lender shall, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, issue the requested Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower or its applicable Subsidiary in accordance with such Issuing Lender’s usual and customary
practices. Upon the issuance of or modification or amendment to any Letter of Credit, each Issuing Lender shall 

  
 43 


  

-43- 







 
promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, in writing of such issuance, modification or amendment and such notice shall be accompanied by a copy of such Letter of Credit or the
respective modification or amendment thereto, as the case may be. Promptly after receipt of such notice the Administrative Agent shall notify the Participants, in writing, of such issuance, modification or amendment. 

(c) The initial Stated Amount of each Letter of Credit shall not be less than $20,000 or such lesser amount as is acceptable to the respective
Issuing Lender. 
 3.04 Letter of Credit Participations. (a) Immediately upon the issuance by an Issuing Lender of a Letter of
Credit, such Issuing Lender shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each Lender, and each such Lender (in its capacity under this Section 3.04, a “Participant”) shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to
have purchased and received from such Issuing Lender, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation, to the extent of such Participant’s Percentage, in such Letter of Credit, each drawing or payment made thereunder and
the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement with respect thereto, and any security therefor or guaranty pertaining thereto. Upon any change in the Commitments or Percentages of the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.12 or
14.04(b), it is hereby agreed that, with respect to all outstanding Letters of Credit and Unpaid Drawings relating thereto, there shall be an automatic adjustment to the participations pursuant to this Section 3.04 to reflect the
new Percentages of the assignor and assignee Lender, as the case may be. Subject to Section 4.03(a), upon the Non-Extended Commitment Maturity Date, it is hereby agreed that, with respect
to all outstanding Letters of Credit and Unpaid Drawings relating thereto, there shall be an automatic adjustment to the participations pursuant to this Section 3.04 to reflect the termination of the Non-Extended Commitments and the Percentages
of the Extended Commitments of the Extending Lenders on such date. Except to the extent of reallocations of participations on the Non-Extended Commitment Maturity Date pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, the occurrence of the
Non-Extended Commitment Maturity Date shall have no effect upon (and shall not diminish) the percentage participations of the Lenders in any Letter of Credit issued before the Non-Extended Commitment Maturity Date. 

(b) In determining whether to pay under a Letter of Credit, no Issuing Lender shall have any obligation relative to the other Lenders other
than to confirm that any documents required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit appear to have been delivered and that they appear to substantially comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit. Any action taken or
omitted to be taken by an Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit issued by it shall not create for such Issuing Lender any resulting liability to the Borrower, any other Credit Party, any Lender or any other Person unless
such action is taken or omitted to be taken with gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Issuing Lender (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision). 

(c) In the event that any Issuing Lender makes any payment under any Letter of Credit issued by it and the Borrower shall not have reimbursed
such amount in full to such Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3.05(a), such Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, which shall promptly notify each Participant of such failure, and each Participant shall promptly
and unconditionally pay to such Issuing Lender the amount of such Participant’s Percentage of such unreimbursed payment in Dollars and in same day funds. If the Administrative 

  
 44 


  

-44- 







 
Agent so notifies, prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on any Business Day, any Participant required to fund a payment under a Letter of Credit, such Participant shall make available to the
respective Issuing Lender in Dollars such Participant’s Percentage of the amount of such payment on such Business Day in same day funds. If and to the extent such Participant shall not have so made its Percentage of the amount of such payment
available to the respective Issuing Lender, such Participant agrees to pay to such Issuing Lender, forthwith on demand such amount, together with interest thereon, for each day from such date until the date such amount is paid to such Issuing Lender
at the overnight Federal Funds Rate for the first three days and at the Base Rate plus 2.00% for each day thereafter. The failure of any Participant to make available to an Issuing Lender its Percentage of any payment under any Letter of
Credit issued by such Issuing Lender shall not relieve any other Participant of its obligation hereunder to make available to such Issuing Lender its Percentage of any payment under any Letter of Credit on the date required, as specified above, but
no Participant shall be responsible for the failure of any other Participant to make available to such Issuing Lender such other Participant’s Percentage of any such payment. 

(d) Whenever an Issuing Lender receives a payment of a reimbursement obligation as to which it has received any payments from the Participants
pursuant to clause (c) above, such Issuing Lender shall pay to each such Participant which has paid its Percentage thereof, in Dollars and in same day funds, an amount equal to such Participant’s share (based upon the proportionate
aggregate amount originally funded by such Participant to the aggregate amount funded by all Participants) of the principal amount of such reimbursement obligation and interest thereon accruing after the purchase of the respective participations.

 (e) Upon the request of any Participant, each Issuing Lender shall furnish to such Participant copies of any standby Letter of Credit
issued by it and such other documentation as may reasonably be requested by such Participant. 
 (f) The obligations of the Participants to
make payments to each Issuing Lender with respect to Letters of Credit shall be irrevocable and not subject to any qualification or exception whatsoever and shall be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement under all
circumstances, including, without limitation, any of the following circumstances: 
 (i) any lack of validity or
enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents; 
 (ii) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense
or other right which the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries may have at any time against a beneficiary named in a Letter of Credit, any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such transferee may be acting), the Administrative
Agent, any Participant, or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transactions (including any underlying transaction between the Parent or any
Subsidiary of the Parent and the beneficiary named in any such Letter of Credit); 

  
 45 


  

-45- 







 (iii) any draft, certificate or any other document presented under any Letter of
Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; 

(iv) the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or observance of any of the terms of any of the Credit
Documents; or 
 (v) the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default. 

3.05 Agreement to Repay Letter of Credit Drawings. (a) The Borrower agrees to reimburse each Issuing Lender, by making payment to
the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Payment Office, for any payment or disbursement made by such Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit issued by it (each such amount, so paid until reimbursed, an “Unpaid
Drawing”), not later than one Business Day following receipt by the Borrower of notice of such payment or disbursement (provided that no such notice shall be required to be given if a Default or an Event of Default under
Section 11.05 shall have occurred and be continuing, in which case the Unpaid Drawing shall be due and payable immediately without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind (all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower)), with
interest on the amount so paid or disbursed by such Issuing Lender, to the extent not reimbursed prior to 12:00 Noon (New York time) on the date of such payment or disbursement, from and including the date paid or disbursed to but excluding the date
such Issuing Lender was reimbursed by the Borrower therefor at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate, as in effect from time to time, plus the Applicable Margin as in effect from time to time minus 1.00%; provided, however, to
the extent such amounts are not reimbursed prior to 12:00 Noon (New York time) on the third Business Day following the receipt by the Borrower of notice of such payment or disbursement or following the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default
under Section 11.05, interest shall thereafter accrue on the amounts so paid or disbursed by such Issuing Lender (and until reimbursed by the Borrower) at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate in effect from time to time plus the
Applicable Margin as in effect from time to time plus 1%, with such interest to be payable on demand. Each Issuing Lender shall give the Borrower prompt written notice of each Drawing under any Letter of Credit issued by it, provided
that the failure to give any such notice shall in no way affect, impair or diminish the Borrower’s obligations hereunder. 
 (b) The
obligations of the Borrower under this Section 3.05 to reimburse each Issuing Lender with respect to drafts, demands and other presentations for payment under Letters of Credit issued by it (each a “Drawing”) (including,
in each case, interest thereon) shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment which the Borrower may have or have had against any Lender (including in its
capacity as an Issuing Lender or as a Participant), including, without limitation, any defense based upon the failure of any drawing under a Letter of Credit to conform to the terms of the Letter of Credit or any nonapplication or misapplication by
the beneficiary of the proceeds of such Drawing; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be obligated to reimburse any Issuing Lender for any wrongful payment made by such Issuing Lender under a Letter of Credit issued by it as
a result of acts or omissions constituting willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of such Issuing Lender (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).

 3.06 Increased Costs. If at any time after the Amendment and Restatement Effective Date,
the introduction or effectiveness of or any change in any applicable law, rule, regulation, order, guideline or request or in the interpretation or administration thereof by the NAIC or any governmental authority charged with the interpretation or
administration thereof, or compliance by any Issuing Lender or any Participant with any request or directive by the NAIC or by any such governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law), shall either (i) impose, modify or make
applicable any reserve, deposit, capital adequacy or similar requirement against letters of credit issued by any Issuing Lender or participated in by any Participant, or (ii) impose on any Issuing Lender or any Participant any other conditions
relating, directly or indirectly, to this Agreement or any Letter of Credit; and (subject to the last sentence of this Section 3.06) the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to any Issuing Lender or any Participant of
issuing, maintaining or participating in any Letter of Credit, or reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by any Issuing Lender or any Participant hereunder or reduce the rate of return on its capital with respect to Letters of Credit,
then, upon the delivery of the certificate referred to below to the Borrower by any Issuing Lender or any Participant (a copy of which certificate shall be sent by such Issuing Lender or such Participant to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower
agrees to pay to such Issuing Lender or such Participant such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Issuing Lender or such Participant for such increased cost or reduction in the amount receivable or reduction on the rate of return on
its capital. Any Issuing Lender or any Participant, upon determining that any additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 3.06, will give prompt written notice thereof to the Borrower, which notice shall include a
certificate submitted to the Borrower by such Issuing Lender or such Participant (a copy of which certificate shall be sent by the Issuing Lender or such Participant to the Administrative Agent), setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for the
calculation of such additional amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Issuing Lender or such Participant. The certificate required to be delivered pursuant to this Section 3.06 shall, absent manifest error, be final and
conclusive and binding on the Borrower. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no payment shall be due under this Section 3.06 for any Excluded Tax, for any amount with respect to a Participant that would be an Excluded Tax if
such Participant were a Lender, or for any amount to the extent it is duplicative of an amount payable in respect of Taxes pursuant to Section 5.04.

with respect to such Letter of Credit for the immediately succeeding twelve-month period, the full $500 shall be payable on the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit and on each such anniversary thereof. Except as otherwise provided in the
proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, accrued Facing Fees shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date and upon the first day on or after the termination of the Total Commitment upon which no Letters of
Credit remain outstanding. 
 (d) The Borrower agrees to pay to each Issuing Lender, for its own account, upon each payment under, issuance
of, or amendment to, any Letter of Credit issued by it, such amount as shall at the time of such event be the customary administrative charge and the reasonable expenses which such Issuing Lender is generally imposing in connection with such
occurrence with respect to letters of credit. 
 (e) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent such fees as may be agreed to in
writing from time to time by the Parent and/or the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

part, pursuant to this Section 4.02(a), in an amount equal to an integral multiple of $1,000,000, provided that each such reduction shall apply proportionately to permanently reduce the Commitment of each Lender. 

  
 48 


  

-48- 







 (b) In the event of a refusal by a Lender to consent to certain proposed changes, waivers,
discharges or terminations with respect to this Agreement which have been approved by the Required Lenders as (and to the extent) provided in Section 14.12(b), the Borrower may, subject to its compliance with the requirements of
Section 14.12(b) and upon five Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Lenders), terminate all of the
Commitments of such Lender, so long as all Loans, together with accrued and unpaid interest, Fees and all other amounts, owing to such Lender (including all amounts, if any, owing pursuant to Section 2.10) are repaid concurrently with
the effectiveness of such termination pursuant to Section 5.01(b) (at which time Schedule I shall be deemed modified to reflect such changed amounts) and such Lender’s Percentage of all outstanding Letters of Credit is cash
collateralized in a manner satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the respective Issuing Lenders, and at such time, such Lender shall no longer constitute a “Lender” for purposes of this Agreement, except with respect to
indemnification provisions under this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 2.09, 2.10, 3.06, 5.04, 12.06 and 14.01), which shall survive as to such repaid Lender. 

4.03 Mandatory Reduction of Commitments. (a) In addition to any other mandatory commitment reductions pursuant to this
Section 4.03, (i) the Total CommitmentNon-Extended Commitments (and the
Non-Extended Commitment of each Non-Extending Lender) shall terminate in
itstheir entirety on the Non-Extended Commitment Maturity Date and (ii) the Extended Commitments (and the
Extended Commitments of each Extending Lender) shall terminate in their entirety on the Extended Commitment Maturity Date; provided that, the foregoing will not release any Non-Extending Lender from any obligation to fund its portion of Letters of
Credit Outstanding if on the Non-Extended Commitment Maturity Date any Specified Default or event, act or condition which with notice or lapse of time or both would constitute a Specified Default exists until such Specified Default or event, act or
condition ceases to exist. In the event that a Specified Default or event, act or condition which with notice or lapse of time or both would constitute a Specified Default exists on the Non-Extended Commitment Maturity Date, until such Specified
Default or event, act or condition ceases to exist, for purposes of determining a Lenders’ Percentage for purposes of Section 3.04 and its allocable share for purposes of Section 4.01(b), such Non-Extending Lender’s Commitment
shall be deemed to be the Commitment of such Lender immediately prior to the termination thereof on the Non-Extended Commitment Maturity Date. 

(b) In addition to any other mandatory commitment reductions pursuant to this Section 4.03, on the date of any Collateral
Disposition, the Total Commitment shall be permanently reduced by a percentage thereof, expressed as a fraction, equal to (x) the appraised value (as determined in accordance with the most recent appraisal report delivered to the Administrative
Agent (or obtained by the Administrative Agent) pursuant to Section 9.01(c)) of the Collateral Rig or Collateral Rigs which is/are the subject of such Collateral Disposition divided by (y) the Aggregate Collateral Rig
Value (as determined by the sum of the appraisals set forth in the most recent appraisal report related to each respective Collateral Rig and delivered to the Administrative Agent (or obtained by the Administrative Agent) pursuant to
Section 9.01(c) before giving effect to such Collateral Disposition). 

  
 49 


  

-49- 







 (c) In addition to any other mandatory commitment reductions pursuant to this
Section 4.03, upon the occurrence of a violation under Section 10.09, the Total Commitment may be permanently reduced in accordance with the requirements of Section 10.09 in an amount required so that the Parent
and its Subsidiaries shall be in compliance with the requirements set forth in Section 10.09, provided that it is understood and agreed that the requirement to repay Loans as a result of a permanent reduction of the Total
Commitment under this Section 4.03(e) shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any other right or remedy that any Lender may have as a result of an Event of Default under Section 10.09. 

(d) Each mandatory commitment reduction or termination pursuant to Section 4.03(b) and (c) shall be applied to
proportionately reduce or terminate, as the case may be, the Commitment of each Lender. 
 SECTION 5. Prepayments; Payments; Taxes.

 5.01 Voluntary Prepayments. (a) The Borrower shall have the right to prepay the Loans, without premium or penalty, in whole
or in part at any time and from time to time on the following terms and conditions: 
 (i) an Authorized Representative of
the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent prior to 12:00 Noon (New York time) at the Notice Office at least three Business Days prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of its intent to prepay such Loans,
which notice (in each case) shall specify the amount of such prepayment and, the specific Borrowing or Borrowings pursuant to which such Loans were made, and which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Lenders; 

(ii) each prepayment shall be in an aggregate principal amount of at least $1,000,000 (or such lesser amount as is acceptable
to the Administrative Agent), provided that no partial prepayment of Loans made pursuant to any Borrowing shall reduce the outstanding Loans made pursuant to such Borrowing to an amount less than $1,000,000; 

(iii) at the time of any prepayment of Loans pursuant to this Section 5.01(a) on any date other than the last day
of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall pay the amounts required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.10; and 

(iv) each prepayment pursuant to this Section 5.01(a) in respect of any Loans made pursuant to a Borrowing shall
be applied pro rata among such Loans; provided that, in each case at the Borrower’s election, such prepayment shall not, so long as no Default or Event of Default then exists, be applied to any Loan of a Defaulting Lender
until all other Loans of Non-Defaulting Lenders have been repaid in full. 
 (b) In the event of a refusal by a Lender to consent to certain
proposed changes, waivers, discharges or terminations with respect to this Agreement which have been approved by the Required Lenders as (and to the extent) provided in Section 14.12(b), the Borrower may, upon five Business Days’

Administrative Agent at the Notice Office (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Lenders) repay all Loans (including all amounts, if any, owing pursuant to
Section 2.10), together with accrued and unpaid interest, Fees and all other amounts owing to such Lender in accordance with, and subject to the requirements of, said Section 14.12(b), so long as (A) all Commitments of
such Lender are terminated concurrently with such prepayment pursuant to Section 4.02(b) (at which time Schedule I shall be deemed modified to reflect the changed Commitments), (B) such Lender’s Percentage of all
outstanding Letters of Credit is cash collateralized in a manner satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the respective Issuing Lenders, and (C) the consents, if any, required under Section 14.12(b) in connection with the
prepayment pursuant to this clause (b) have been obtained. 
 5.02 Mandatory Repayments. (a) On any day on which the
sum of (I) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Loans (after giving effect to all other repayments thereof on such date) and (II) the aggregate amount of all Letters of Credit Outstanding under the Facility exceeds the Total Commitment
at such time (including as a result of the termination of the Non-Extending Commitments on the Non-Extending Commitment Maturity Date), the Borrower shall repay on such date the principal
of Loans in an amount equal to such excess. If, after giving effect to the repayment of all outstanding Loans, the aggregate amount of the Letters of Credit Outstanding under the Facility exceeds the Total Commitment at such time, the Borrower shall
pay to the Administrative Agent at the Payment Office on such day an amount of cash and/or Cash Equivalents equal to the amount of such excess (up to a maximum amount equal to the Letters of Credit Outstanding under the Facility at such time), such
cash and/or Cash Equivalents to be held as security for all obligations of the Borrower to the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders in a cash collateral account to be established by the Administrative Agent. 

(b) With respect to each repayment of Loans required by this Section 5.02, the Borrower may designate the specific Borrowing or
Borrowings to which such repayment shall apply, provided that (i) repayments of Loans pursuant to this Section 5.02 may only be made on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto unless all Loans with Interest
Periods ending on such date of required repayment have been paid in full and (ii) each repayment of Loans made pursuant to a Borrowing shall be applied pro rata among such Loans. In the absence of a designation by the Borrower as
described in the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall, subject to the above, make such designation in its sole discretion. 

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement,
(x) all then outstanding Loans issued by the Non-Extending Lenders shall be repaid in full on
the the Non-Extended Commitment Maturity Date and (y) all then outstanding Loans issued by the Extending Lenders shall be repaid in full on the Extended Commitment Maturity
Date. 
 (d) If for any reason, at any time during the five (5) Business Day
period immediately preceding the Non-Extended Commitment Maturity Date, (x) the Non-Extending Lenders’ aggregate participations in the Letters of Credit Outstanding exceeds (y) the amount of the Extended Commitments minus the
Extending Lenders’ aggregate participations in the Letters of Credit Outstanding at such time and the aggregate principal amount of all Loans then outstanding, then the Borrower shall promptly prepay or cause to be promptly prepaid Loans and/or
cash collateralize Letters of Credit Outstanding in an aggregate amount necessary to eliminate such excess; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to cash collateralize the
Letters of Credit Outstanding pursuant to this sentence unless after the prepayment in full of the Loans such excess has not been eliminated.

 5.03 Method and Place of Payment. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all
payments under this Agreement and under any Note shall be made to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lender or Lenders entitled thereto not later than 12:00 Noon (New York time) on the date when due and shall be made in Dollars in
immediately available funds at the Payment Office. Any payments under this Agreement or under any Note which are made later than 12:00 Noon (New York time) on any day shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day. Whenever
any payment to be made hereunder or under any Note shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, with respect to payments of principal, interest shall
be payable at the applicable rate during such extension. 
 5.04 Net Payments; Taxes. (a) All payments made by any Credit Party
hereunder or under any other Credit Document will be made without setoff, counterclaim or other defense. All such payments will be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any present or future taxes, levies, imposts,
duties, fees, assessments or other charges of whatever nature now or hereafter imposed by any jurisdiction or by any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein with respect to such payments (but excluding, except as provided in the
second succeeding sentence, (i) any tax determined by reference to the overall net income or profits of a Lender or Participating Entity, and any franchise, capital and similar taxes (imposed in lieu of net income taxes), in each case, imposed
pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction in which such Lender or Participating Entity is organized or the jurisdiction in which the principal office or applicable lending office of such Lender or Participating Entity is located or any subdivision
thereof or therein, (ii) any U.S. federal withholding taxes imposed under FATCA, (iii) any U.S. federal withholding taxes imposed on amounts payable to or for the account of a Lender or Participating Entity pursuant to a law in effect on
(A) the date on which a Lender or Participating Entity acquires an interest in the Loan or under a Credit Document (other than pursuant to an assignment request by the Borrower under Section 2.12) or (B) the date that a Lender
or Participating Entity changes its applicable lending office, except in each case that amounts with respect to such taxes were payable either to such Lender’s or Participating Entity’s assignor immediately before such Lender or
Participating Entity became a party hereto or to such Lender or Participating Entity immediately before it changed its lending office and (iv) taxes attributable to a Lender’s or Participating Entity’s failure to comply with paragraph
(b) of this Section 5.04 (collectively, “Excluded Taxes”)) and all interest, penalties or similar liabilities with respect hereto (all such taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges, other
than Excluded Taxes, being referred to collectively as “Taxes”). If any Taxes are so levied or imposed, the Borrower agrees to pay the full amount of such Taxes, and such additional amounts as may be necessary so that every payment
of all amounts due under this Agreement or under any Note, after withholding or deduction for or on account of any Taxes, will not be less than the amount provided for herein or in such Note. If any amounts are payable in respect of Taxes pursuant
to the preceding sentence, the Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse each Lender, upon the written request of such Lender, for taxes imposed on or measured by the net income or net profits of such Lender pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction
in which such Lender is organized or in which the principal office or applicable lending office of such Lender is located or under the laws of any 

  
 52 


  

-52- 







 
political subdivision or taxing authority of any such jurisdiction in which such Lender is organized or in which the principal office or applicable lending office of such Lender is located and
for any withholding of taxes as such Lender shall determine are payable by, or withheld from, such Lender, in respect of such amounts so paid to or on behalf of such Lender pursuant to the preceding sentence and in respect of any amounts paid to or
on behalf of such Lender pursuant to this sentence. The Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent within 45 days after the date the payment of any Taxes is due pursuant to applicable law certified copies of tax receipts evidencing such
payment by the Borrower (or other evidence of payment reasonably satisfactory to the Lenders). The Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Lender, and reimburse such Lender upon its written request and submission of documentary evidence,
for the amount of any Taxes so levied or imposed and paid by such Lender. If a Lender determines, in its sole reasonable discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes for which the Borrower has previously made a payment pursuant to this
Section 5.04(a), such Lender shall pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of amounts paid by the Borrower under this Section 5.04(a) with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund),
net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant taxing authority with respect to such refund). The Borrower, upon the request of such Lender, shall repay to such
Lender an amount paid over pursuant to the previous sentence (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant taxing authority) in the event that such Lender is required to repay such refund to such taxing authority.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph, in no event will the Lender be required to pay any amount to the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph the payment of which would place the Lender in a less favorable net after-Tax position
than the Lender would have been in 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 paragraph shall not be construed to require any Lender to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person. 

(b) Any Lender or Participating Entity that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of Tax with respect to payments made under any Credit
Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made exempt from Tax or at a
reduced rate of Tax (it being understood that a Participating Entity shall deliver the documentation referred to in this paragraph to its participating Lender rather than the Borrower). 

(c) If a payment made to a Lender under any Credit Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender
were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time
or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such
additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied
with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (b), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this
Agreement.

 5.05 Application of Proceeds. (a) All monies collected by the Collateral Agent upon
any sale or other disposition of the Collateral of each Credit Party, together with all other monies received by the Collateral Agent under and in accordance with this Agreement and the other Credit Documents (including, without limitation, as a
result of any distribution in respect of the Collateral in any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding) (except to the extent released in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement or any other Credit Document), shall be
applied to the payment of the Secured Obligations as follows: 
 (i) first, to the payment of all amounts owing to
the Collateral Agent of the type described in clauses (iii) and (iv) of the definition of “Secured Obligations”; 

(ii) second, to the extent proceeds remain after the application pursuant to the preceding clause (i), an amount equal
to the outstanding Obligations shall be paid to the Lenders as provided in Section 5.05(d) hereof, with each Lender Creditor receiving an amount equal to the outstanding Obligations owing to such Lender Creditor or, if the proceeds are
insufficient to pay in full all such Obligations, its Pro Rata Share of the amount remaining to be distributed; 
 (iii)
third, to the extent proceeds remain after the application pursuant to the preceding clauses (i) and (ii), an amount equal to the outstanding Other Obligations shall be paid to the Other Creditors as provided in Section 5.05(d)
hereof, with each Other Creditor receiving an amount equal to such outstanding Other Obligations owing to such Other Creditor or, if the proceeds are insufficient to pay in full all such Other Obligations, its Pro Rata Share of the amount remaining
to be distributed; and 
 (iv) fourth, to the extent proceeds remain after the application pursuant to the preceding
clauses (i) through (iii), inclusive, and following the termination of this Agreement and the Credit Documents in accordance with their terms, to the relevant Credit Party or to whomever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus. 

(b) For purposes of this Agreement, “Pro Rata Share” shall mean, when calculating a Secured Creditor’s portion of any
distribution or amount, that amount (expressed as a percentage) equal to a fraction the numerator of which is the then unpaid amount of such Secured Creditor’s Obligations or Other Obligations, as the case may be, and the denominator of which
is the then outstanding amount of all Obligations or Other Obligations, as the case may be. 
 (c) When payments to Secured Creditors are
based upon their respective Pro Rata Shares, the amounts received by such Secured Creditors hereunder shall be applied (for purposes of making determinations under this Section 5.05 only) (i) first, to their Obligations and
(ii) second, to their Other Obligations. If any payment to any Secured Creditor of its Pro Rata Share of any distribution would result in overpayment to such Secured Creditor, such excess amount shall instead be distributed in respect of
the unpaid Obligations or Other Obligations, as the case may be, of the other Secured Creditors, with each Secured Creditor whose Obligations or Other Obligations, as the case may be, have not been paid in full to receive an amount equal to


  
 54 


  

-54- 







 
such excess amount multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the unpaid Obligations or Other Obligations, as the case may be, of such Secured Creditor and the denominator of which is the
unpaid Obligations or Other Obligations, as the case may be, of all Secured Creditors entitled to such distribution. 
 (d) All payments
required to be made hereunder shall be made (x) if to the Lender Creditors, to the Administrative Agent under this Agreement for the account of the Lender Creditors, and (y) if to the Other Creditors, to the trustee, paying agent or other
similar representative (each a “Representative”) for the Other Creditors or, in the absence of such a Representative, directly to the Other Creditors. 

(e) For purposes of applying payments received in accordance with this Section 5.05, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely
upon (i) the Administrative Agent under this Agreement and (ii) the Representative for the Other Creditors or, in the absence of such a Representative, upon the Other Creditors for a determination (which the Administrative Agent, each
Representative for any Other Creditors and the Secured Creditors agree (or shall agree) to provide upon request of the Collateral Agent) of the outstanding Obligations and Other Obligations owed to the Lender Creditors or the Other Creditors, as the
case may be. Unless it has actual knowledge (including by way of written notice from an Other Creditor) to the contrary, the Collateral Agent, shall be entitled to assume that no Interest Rate Protection Agreements or Other Hedging Agreements are in
existence. 
 (f) It is understood and agreed that the Credit Parties shall remain jointly and severally liable to the extent of any
deficiency between the amount of the proceeds of the Collateral pledged and Liens granted by it under and pursuant to the Security Documents and the aggregate amount of the Secured Obligations of such Credit Party. 

SECTION 6. [Reserved.] 

SECTION 7. Conditions Precedent to the Amendment and Restatement Effective Date and All Credit Events. The obligation of each Lender to

required to be true and correct in all material respects only as of such specified date). 
 7.02 Notice of Borrowing; Letter of Credit

Maintenance Test. On the Amendment and Restatement Effective Date and at the time of each Credit Event and immediately after giving effect thereto, the Aggregate Collateral Rig Value shall be at least 150% of the sum of the aggregate outstanding
amount of Loans and Letters of Credit Outstanding at such time. 
 7.04 Non-Extended
Commitment Maturity Date Period. After giving effect to the making of any requested Loan and/or issuance of Letter of Credit occurring during the five (5) Business Day period immediately preceding the Non-Extended Commitment Maturity Date, the
Borrower would not be required by Section 5.02(d) to prepay or cause to be prepaid Loans or to cash collateralize Letters of Credit Outstanding. 

The acceptance by each of the Parent and the Borrower of the benefits of each Credit Event shall constitute a representation and warranty by
each of them to the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders that all the conditions specified in this Section 7 and applicable to such Credit Event are satisfied as of that time. All of the documents and papers referred to in this
Section 7, unless otherwise specified, shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office for the account of each of the Lenders and in the number of counterparts or copies reasonably requested by the Administrative

warranties and agreements, in each case after giving effect to the Transaction as consummated on the Amendment and Restatement Effective Date, all of which shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Notes and the making of
the Loans and the issuance of the Letters of Credit, with the occurrence of each Credit Event on or after the Amendment and Restatement Effective Date being deemed to constitute a representation and warranty that the matters specified in this
Section 8 are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Amendment and Restatement Effective Date and on the date of each such other Credit Event (it being understood and agreed that any representation or warranty which
by its terms is made as of a specified date shall be required to be true and correct in all material respects only as of such specified date).

 8.02 Corporate Power and Authority. Each Credit Party has the corporate or other
applicable power and authority to execute, deliver and perform the terms and provisions of each of the Credit Documents to which it is party and has taken all necessary corporate or other applicable action to authorize the execution, delivery and
performance by it of each of such Credit Documents. Each Credit Party has duly executed and delivered each of the Credit Documents to which it is party, and each of such Credit Documents constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation

creditors’ rights and by equitable principles (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in equity or at law).

applicable provision of any law, statute, rule or regulation or any order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental instrumentality, (ii) will conflict with or result in any breach of any of the terms, covenants, conditions or

with (except for those that have otherwise been obtained or made on or prior to the Amendment and Restatement Effective Date), or exemption by, any governmental or public body or authority, or any subdivision thereof, is required to be obtained or

 (b) On and as of the Amendment and Restatement Effective Date, and after giving effect to the
Transaction and to all Indebtedness (including the Loans) being incurred or assumed and Liens created by the Credit Parties in connection therewith, (i) the sum of the assets, at a fair valuation, of the Parent and its Subsidiaries, taken as a
whole, and of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, will exceed their respective debts, (ii) each of the Parent and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, have not incurred
and do not intend to incur, and do not believe that they will incur, debts beyond their respective ability to pay such debts as such debts mature, and (iii) each of the Parent and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, will have sufficient capital with which to conduct their respective businesses. For purposes of this Section 8.05(b), “debt” means any liability on a claim, and “claim” means
(x) right to payment, whether or not such a right is reduced to judgment, liquidated, unliquidated, fixed, contingent, matured, unmatured, disputed, undisputed, legal, equitable, secured, or unsecured or (y) right to an equitable remedy
for breach of performance if such breach gives rise to a payment, whether or not such right to an equitable remedy is reduced to judgment, fixed, contingent, matured, unmatured, disputed, undisputed, secured or unsecured. The amount of contingent
liabilities at any time shall be computed as the amount that, in the light of all the facts and circumstances existing at such time, represents the amount that can reasonably be expected to become an actual or matured liability. 

(c) Except as fully disclosed in the financial statements referred to in Section 8.05(a), there were as of the Amendment and
Restatement Effective Date no liabilities or obligations with respect to the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries of any nature whatsoever (whether absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise and whether or not due) which, either individually or in the
aggregate, could reasonably be expected to be material to the Parent and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole. As of the Amendment and Restatement Effective Date, the Credit Parties know of no reasonable basis for the assertion against it or any of its
Subsidiaries of any liability or obligation of any nature whatsoever that is not fully disclosed in the financial statements or referred to in Section 8.05(a) which, either individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected
to be material to the Parent and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole. 
 (d) Since September 30, 2013, there has been no change in the
property, assets, nature of assets, operations, liabilities or financial condition of the Parent and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole that has had, or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

8.06 Litigation. There are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of the Parent or the Borrower, threatened
(i) with respect to the Transaction or any Credit Document or (ii) that would reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. 

8.07 True and Complete Disclosure. All factual information (taken as a whole) furnished by or on behalf of the Parent or the Borrower
in writing to the Administrative Agent or any Lender (including, without limitation, all information contained in the Credit Documents) for purposes of or in connection with this Agreement, the other Credit Documents or any transaction contemplated
herein or therein is, and all other such factual information (taken as a whole) 

  
 58 


  

-58- 







 
hereafter furnished by or on behalf of the Parent or the Borrower in writing to the Administrative Agent or any Lender will be, true and accurate in all material respects on the date as of which
such information is dated or certified and not incomplete by omitting to state any fact necessary to make such information (taken as a whole) not misleading in any material respect at such time in light of the circumstances under which such
information was provided. 
 8.08 Use of Proceeds; Margin Regulations. (a) All proceeds of all Loans shall be used and all
Letters of Credit shall be issued for, and the proceeds of all Drawings under all Letters of Credit shall be utilized in connection with the Parent’s and its Subsidiaries’ general corporate and working capital purposes, including the
construction of Rigs to be built for or on behalf of Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries of the Parent or the Borrower. 
 (b) Neither the Parent nor
any of its Subsidiaries is engaged principally, or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying Margin Stock. No part of any Credit Event (or the proceeds thereof) will be used for
any purpose which violates the provisions of Regulations U, T and X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Margin Regulations”). 

8.09 Tax Returns and Payments. The Parent and each of its Subsidiaries have timely filed with the appropriate taxing authority all
material returns, statements, forms and reports for taxes or an extension therefor (the “Returns”) required to be filed by, or with respect to the income, properties or operations of, the Parent and/or any of its Subsidiaries where
the failure to file such Returns would have, or would reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect. The Returns accurately reflect in all material respects all liability for taxes of the Parent and its Subsidiaries as a whole for the
periods covered thereby. Each of the Parent and each of its Subsidiaries have paid all taxes and assessments payable by it, other than those that are being contested in good faith and adequately disclosed and fully provided for on the financial
statements of the Parent and its Subsidiaries in accordance with GAAP or the non-payment of which would not have, or would not reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect. There is no action, suit, proceeding, investigation, audit or
claim now pending or, to the best knowledge of the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, threatened by any authority regarding any taxes relating to the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries that would have, or would reasonably be expected to have, a
Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries have entered into an agreement or waiver or been requested to enter into an agreement or waiver extending any statute of limitations relating to the payment or collection of
taxes of the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, or is aware of any circumstances that would cause the taxable years or other taxable periods of the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries not to be subject to the normally applicable statute of limitations
that would have, or would reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect. Except as set forth on Schedule V, as of the Amendment and Restatement Effective Date, neither the Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries have incurred, or will
incur, any material tax liability in connection with the Transaction or any other transactions contemplated hereby that would have, or would reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect (it being understood that the representation
contained in this sentence does not cover any future tax liabilities of the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries arising as a result of the operation of their businesses in the ordinary course of business).

-59- 







 8.10 Compliance with ERISA. (a) Schedule VI sets forth, as of the Amendment
and Restatement Effective Date, the name of each Plan. Neither the Parent nor any Subsidiary of the Parent nor any ERISA Affiliate has ever sponsored, maintained, made any contributions to or has any liability in respect of any Plan which is subject
to Title IV of ERISA or Section 302 of ERISA or Section 412 of the Code; each Plan has been maintained and operated in compliance in all materials respects with the provisions of ERISA and, to the extent applicable, the Code, including but
not limited to the provisions thereunder respecting prohibited transactions except for any noncompliance which would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No action, suit, proceeding, hearing, audit or investigation with
respect to the administration, operation or the investment of assets of any Plan (other than routine claims for benefits) is pending, expected or threatened except for any noncompliance which would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material
Adverse Effect. Except as would not result in a Material Adverse Effect, each group health plan (as defined in Section 607(1) of ERISA or Section 4980B(g)(2) of the Code and subject to ERISA or the Code) which covers or has covered
employees or former employees of the Parent, any Subsidiary of the Parent, or any ERISA Affiliate has at all times been operated in compliance with the provisions of Part 6 of subtitle B of Title I of ERISA and Section 4980B of the Code. Under
each employee welfare benefit plan within the meaning of Section 3(1) or Section 3(2)(B) of ERISA covering employees of the Parent or any Subsidiary of the Parent, no benefits are due thereunder unless the event giving rise to the benefit
entitlement occurs prior to termination of employment (except as required by Title I, Subtitle B, Part 6 of ERISA) except for any benefits due which would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Any of the Parent, any
Material Subsidiary of the Parent or any ERISA Affiliate, as appropriate, may terminate each Plan at any time (or at any time subsequent to the expiration of any applicable bargaining agreement) in the discretion of such Person without liability to
any Person that would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Each of the Parent and each of its Subsidiaries may cease contributions to or terminate any employee benefit plan maintained by any of them without incurring any
liability that would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (b) Each Foreign Pension Plan has been maintained in
substantial compliance with its terms and with the requirements of any and all applicable laws, statutes, rules, regulations and orders and has been maintained, where required, in good standing with applicable regulatory authorities except for any
noncompliance which would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. All contributions required to be made with respect to a Foreign Pension Plan have been timely made except for any noncompliance which would not reasonably
be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries has incurred any obligation in connection with the termination of, or withdrawal from, any Foreign Pension Plan, except that which would not
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The present value of the accrued benefit liabilities (whether or not vested) under each Foreign Pension Plan, determined as of the end of the Parent’s most recently ended fiscal
year on the basis of then current actuarial assumptions, each of which is reasonable, did not materially exceed the current value of the assets of such Foreign Pension Plan allocable to such benefit liabilities. 

8.11 The Security Documents. Each of the Security Documents other than the Collateral Rig Mortgages creates in favor of the Collateral
Agent for the benefit of the Secured Creditors a legal, valid and enforceable first priority security interest and, upon any necessary

security interests created under any Security Document, excluding the Collateral Rig Mortgages, except for filings or recordings which shall have been made on or prior to the Amendment and Restatement Effective Date. Each Collateral Rig Mortgage
executed and delivered creates in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Creditors a legal, valid, and enforceable first preferred mortgage lien over the Collateral Rig covered thereby and when duly recorded in accordance with
the laws of the Collateral Rig’s registry, will constitute a “preferred mortgage” within the meaning of Section 31301(6) of Title 46 of the United States Code, entitled to the benefits accorded a preferred mortgage on a foreign
vessel. 
 8.12 Capitalization. All of the Capital Stock, as set forth on Schedule IV as of the Amendment and Restatement
Effective Date, of the Borrower and each other Credit Party (other than the Parent) is legally and beneficially owned directly or indirectly by the Parent, and, except as permitted by Section 9.11 or for transfers or changes pursuant to
a Redomestication, such structure shall remain so until the Extended Commitment Maturity Date. All such outstanding equity interests have been duly and validly issued, are fully paid and
non-assessable and have been issued free of preemptive rights. Except for rights in respect of the equity interests of the Parent that are convertible at the option of the holder thereof into common stock of the Parent, neither the Parent nor the
Borrower has any outstanding securities convertible into or exchangeable for its capital stock or outstanding any rights to subscribe for or to purchase, or any options for the purchase of, or any agreement providing for the issuance (contingent or
otherwise) of, or any calls in respect of, the capital stock of the Parent or the Borrower, as the case may be. 
 8.13 Subsidiaries.
On the Amendment and Restatement Effective Date, the Parent has no Material Subsidiaries other than those Material Subsidiaries listed on Schedule VII (which Schedule identifies the correct legal name, direct owner, percentage ownership and

individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

the Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries are an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company,” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

operations of the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries (or, to the knowledge of the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, any of their respective predecessors) or any Rig, Real Property or other facility at any time owned or operated by the Parent or any

labor practice that, either individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There is (i) no unfair labor practice complaint pending against the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or, to the

 12.01 Appointment. (a) The Lenders in their capacity as Lenders and Other Creditors hereby
irrevocably designate and appoint Nordea Bank AB, London Branch (as successor to Nordea Bank Finland plc, London Branch), as
Administrative Agent (for purposes of this Section 12 and Section 14.01, the term “Administrative Agent” also shall include Nordea Bank Finland
plcAB, London Branch (and/or any of its affiliates) in its capacity as Collateral Agent and assignee pursuant to the Security Documents (including as mortgagee and security trustee
under the Collateral Rig Mortgages) and in its capacity as lead arranger and book runner in connection with this Agreement and the financings contemplated hereby) to act as specified herein and in the other Credit Documents. Each Lender hereby
irrevocably authorizes, and each holder of any Note by the acceptance of such Note shall be deemed irrevocably to authorize, the Administrative Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement, the other Credit
Documents and any other instruments and agreements referred to herein or therein and to exercise such powers and to perform such duties hereunder and thereunder as are specifically delegated to or required of the Administrative Agent by the terms
hereof and thereof and such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Administrative Agent may perform any of its respective duties hereunder by or through its officers, directors, agents, employees or affiliates. 

(b) The Lenders in their capacity as lenders and Other Creditors hereby irrevocably designate and appoint Nordea Bank Finland
plcAB, London Branch as security trustee (together with its permitted successors and assigns, the “Security Trustee”) in order to satisfy applicable requirements
of Maltese law for the purpose of holding a security interest in the Collateral Rigs pursuant to the Collateral Rig Mortgages and in the Collateral pursuant to the other Security Documents, as applicable, on behalf of the applicable Lenders, from
time to time, with regard to the (i) security, powers, rights, titles, benefits and interests (both present and future) constituted by and conferred on the Lenders or any of them or for the benefit thereof under or pursuant to the Collateral

money, investments, property and other assets at any time representing or deriving from any of the foregoing, including all interest, income and other sums at any time received or receivable by any Lender or any agent of any Lender in respect of the
same (or any part thereof); provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the scope of such designation and appointment shall not be greater than the scope of the designation and appointment of Nordea Bank Finland
plcAB, London Branch as Collateral Agent under any Credit Document except to the extent required by Maltese law. Nordea Bank Finland
plcAB, London Branch hereby accepts such appointment as Security Trustee. 

12.02 Nature of Duties. (a) The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set
forth in this Agreement and in the other Credit Documents. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, agents, employees or affiliates shall be liable for any action taken or omitted by it or them hereunder or under any
other Credit Document or in connection herewith or therewith, unless caused by its or their gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non–appealable decision). The duties of the
Administrative Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature; the Administrative Agent shall not have by reason of this Agreement or any other Credit Document a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender or the holder of any Note; and
nothing in this Agreement or in any other Credit Document, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon the Administrative Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement or any other Credit Document except as
expressly set forth herein or therein. 
 (b) It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other
Credit Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent in such capacity is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead
such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties. 

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

(i) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing; 
 (ii) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary
powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Credit Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of
the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Credit Documents); provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the
Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to 

  
 95 


  

-95- 







 
any Credit Document or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any law for the general relief of debtors or that may
effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any law for the general relief of debtors; and 

(iii) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Credit Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall
not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. 

12.03 Lack of Reliance on the Administrative Agent. Independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, each Lender and
the holder of each Note, to the extent it deems appropriate, has made and shall continue to make (i) its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of the Parent and its Subsidiaries in connection with the making and
the continuance of the Loans and the taking or not taking of any action in connection herewith and (ii) its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of the Parent and its Subsidiaries and, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the
Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender or the holder of any Note with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession
before the making of the Loans or at any time or times thereafter. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible to any Lender or the holder of any Note for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties herein or in any
document, certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, perfection, collectability, priority or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Credit Document or
the financial condition of the Parent and its Subsidiaries or be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or the
financial condition of the Parent and its Subsidiaries or the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default. 
 12.04
Certain Rights of the Administrative Agent. If the Administrative Agent requests instructions from the Required Lenders with respect to any act or action (including failure to act) in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit
Document, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received instructions from the Required Lenders; and the Administrative Agent shall not incur
liability to any Lender by reason of so refraining. Without limiting the foregoing, neither any Lender nor the holder of any Note shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent as a result of the Administrative Agent
acting or refraining from acting hereunder or under any other Credit Document in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders. 

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

  
 96 


  

-96- 







 12.06 Indemnification. To the extent the Administrative Agent (or any affiliate thereof)
is not reimbursed and indemnified by the Parent or the Borrower, the Lenders will, severally and not jointly, reimburse and indemnify the Administrative Agent (and any affiliate thereof), in proportion to their respective “percentage” as
used in determining the Required Lenders determined as if there were no Defaulting Lenders, for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, costs, expenses or disbursements of whatsoever
kind or nature which may be imposed on, asserted against or incurred by the Administrative Agent (or any affiliate thereof) in performing its duties hereunder or under any other Credit Document, or in any way relating to or arising out of this
Agreement or any other Credit Document; provided that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from
the Administrative Agent’s (or such affiliate’s) gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision). 

12.07 The Administrative Agent in its Individual Capacity. With respect to its obligation to make Loans, or issue or participate in
Letters of Credit, under this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall have the rights and powers specified herein for a “Lender” and may exercise the same rights and powers as though it were not performing the Administrative Agent duties
specified herein; and the term “Lender,” “Required Lenders” or any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, include the Administrative Agent in its respective individual capacities. The Administrative
Agent and its affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of banking, investment banking, trust or other business with, or provide debt financing, equity capital or other services (including financial
advisory services) to any Credit Party or any Affiliate of any Credit Party (or any Person engaged in a similar business with any Credit Party or any Affiliate thereof) as if they were not performing the duties specified herein, and may accept fees
and other consideration from any Credit Party or any Affiliate of any Credit Party for services in connection with this Agreement and otherwise without having to account for the same to the Lenders. 

12.08 Holders. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless
and until a written notice of the assignment, transfer or endorsement thereof, as the case may be, shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. Any request, authority or consent of any Person who, at the time of making such request or giving
such authority or consent, is the holder of any Note shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee, assignee or endorsee, as the case may be, of such Note or of any Note or Notes issued in exchange therefor. 

12.09 Resignation by the Administrative Agent. (a) The Administrative Agent may resign from the performance of all its respective
functions and duties hereunder and/or under the other Credit Documents at any time by giving 15 Business Days’ prior written notice to the Lenders and, unless a Default or an Event of Default under Section 11.05 then exists, the
Borrower. Any such resignation by an Administrative Agent hereunder may also constitute a resignation by an Issuing Lender that is an affiliate of the Administrative, at the option of such 

  
 97 


  

-97- 







 
Issuing Lender, in which case the resigning Issuing Lender (x) shall not be required to issue any further Letters of Credit hereunder and (y) shall maintain all of its rights as Issuing
Lender with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it, prior to the date of such resignation. Such resignation shall take effect upon the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent pursuant to clauses (b) and (c) below or as
otherwise provided below. 
 (b) Upon any such notice of resignation by the Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders shall appoint a
successor Administrative Agent hereunder or thereunder who shall be a commercial bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Borrower, which acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (provided that the Borrower’s
approval shall not be required if an Event of Default then exists). 
 (c) If a successor Administrative Agent shall not have been so
appointed within such 15 Business Day period, the Administrative Agent, with the consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided that the Borrower’s consent shall not be required if an Event
of Default then exists), shall then appoint a successor Administrative Agent who shall serve as Administrative Agent hereunder or thereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided above.

 (d) If no successor Administrative Agent has been appointed pursuant to clause (b) or (c) above by the 30th Business Day after
the date such notice of resignation was given by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent’s resignation shall become effective and the Required Lenders shall thereafter perform all the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder
and/or under any other Credit Document until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided above. 

(e) If the Administrative Agent, in its capacity as a Lender, becomes a Defaulting Lender hereunder, the Administrative Agent, upon the written
request of (x) the Borrower and (y) the Required Lenders, shall resign in its role as Administrative Agent pursuant to clause (a), above. 

12.10 Co-Collateral Agent; Separate Collateral Agent. At any time or from time to time, in order to comply with any applicable
requirement of law, the Administrative Agent may appoint another bank or trust company or one or more other persons, either to act as co-agent or agents on behalf of the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Creditors with such power and
authority as may be necessary for the effectual operation of the provisions hereof and which may be specified in the instrument of appointment (which may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, include provisions for indemnification and
similar protections of such co-agent or separate agent substantially the same as those contained herein). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, every such agent, sub-collateral agent and every co-agent shall, to the extent
permitted by law, be appointed and act and be such, subject to the condition that no power given hereby, or which is provided herein or in any other Credit Document to any such co- agent, sub-collateral agent or agent shall be exercised hereunder or
thereunder by such co-agent or agent except jointly with, or with the consent in writing of, the Administrative Agent.

 SECTION 13. Parent Guaranty. 

13.01 Guaranty. In order to induce the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to
extend credit hereunder, and to induce the other Guaranteed Creditors to enter into Interest Rate Protection Agreements and Other Hedging Agreements, and in recognition of the direct benefits to be received by Parent from the proceeds of the Loans
and the issuance of the Letters of Credit, the Parent hereby agrees with the Guaranteed Creditors as follows: the Parent hereby and unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to the Guaranteed Creditors the full and prompt payment when due, whether
upon maturity, acceleration or otherwise, of any and all of the Guaranteed Obligations to the Guaranteed Creditors. This is a guaranty of payment and not of collection. If any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations becomes due and payable hereunder,
the Parent, unconditionally and irrevocably, promises to pay such indebtedness to the Administrative Agent and/or the other Guaranteed Creditors, or order, on demand, together with any and all expenses which may be incurred by the Administrative
Agent and the other Guaranteed Creditors in collecting any of the Guaranteed Obligations. If claim is ever made upon any Guaranteed Creditor for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received in payment or on account of any of the
Guaranteed Obligations and any of the aforesaid payees repays all or part of said amount by reason of (i) any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body having jurisdiction over such payee or any of its property or
(ii) any settlement or compromise of any such claim effected by such payee with any such claimant (including the Borrower), then and in such event the Parent agrees that any such judgment, decree, order, settlement or compromise shall be
binding upon the Parent, notwithstanding any revocation of this Parent Guaranty or other instrument evidencing any liability of the Borrower, and the Parent shall be and remain liable to the aforesaid payees hereunder for the amount so repaid or
recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been received by any such payee. 
 13.02 Bankruptcy.
Additionally, the Parent unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to the Guaranteed Creditors the payment of any and all of the Guaranteed Obligations whether or not due or payable by the Borrower upon the occurrence of any of the events specified
in Section 11.05, and unconditionally, irrevocably, jointly and severally promises to pay such indebtedness to the Guaranteed Creditors, or order, on demand. 

13.03 Nature of Liability. The liability of the Parent hereunder is exclusive and independent of any security for or other guaranty of
the Guaranteed Obligations, whether executed by the Parent, any other guarantor or by any other party, and the liability of the Parent hereunder shall not be affected or impaired by (a) any direction as to application of payment by the Borrower
or by any other party, or (b) any other continuing or other guaranty, undertaking or maximum liability of a guarantor or of any other party as to the Guaranteed Obligations, or (c) any payment on or in reduction of any such other guaranty
or undertaking, or (d) any dissolution, termination or increase, decrease or change in personnel by the Borrower, or (e) any payment made to any Guaranteed Creditor on the Guaranteed Obligations which any such Guaranteed Creditor repays to
the Borrower or any other Subsidiary of the Parent pursuant to court order in any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or other debtor relief proceeding, and the Parent waives any right to the deferral or modification of its
obligations hereunder by reason of any such proceeding, or (f) any action or inaction of the type described in Section 13.05. 

13.04 Independent Obligation. The obligations of the Parent hereunder are independent of the obligations of any other guarantor, any
other party or the Borrower, and a 

  
 99 


  

-99- 







 
separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against the Parent whether or not action is brought against any other guarantor, any other party or the Borrower and whether or not any
other guarantor, any other party or the Borrower be joined in any such action or actions. The Parent waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting its liability hereunder or the enforcement
thereof. Any payment by the Borrower or other circumstance which operates to toll any statute of limitations as to the Borrower shall operate to toll the statute of limitations as to the Parent. 

13.05 Authorization. The Parent authorizes the Guaranteed Creditors without notice or demand (except as shall be required by applicable
statute and cannot be waived), and without affecting or impairing its liability hereunder, from time to time to: 
 (a) change the manner,
place or terms of payment of, and/or change or extend the time of payment of, renew, increase, accelerate or alter, any of the Guaranteed Obligations (including any increase or decrease in the principal amount thereof or the rate of interest or fees
thereon), any security therefor, or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof, and this Parent Guaranty made shall apply to such Guaranteed Obligations as so changed, extended, renewed or altered; 

(b) take and hold security for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations and sell, exchange, release, impair, surrender, realize upon or
otherwise deal with in any manner and in any order any property by whomsoever at any time pledged or mortgaged to secure, or howsoever securing, the Guaranteed Obligations or any liabilities (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or
indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and/or any offset against any thereof; 
 (c) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against
the Borrower, any other Credit Party or others or otherwise act or refrain from acting; 
 (d) release or substitute any one or more
endorsers, guarantors, the Borrower, other Credit Parties or other obligors; 
 (e) settle or compromise any of the Guaranteed Obligations,
any security therefor or any liability (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and may subordinate the payment of all or any part thereof to the payment of any liability (whether due or not)
of the Borrower to its creditors other than the Guaranteed Creditors; 
 (f) apply any sums by whomsoever paid or howsoever realized to any
liability or liabilities of the Borrower to the Guaranteed Creditors regardless of what liability or liabilities of the Borrower remain unpaid; 

(g) consent to or waive any breach of, or any act, omission or default under, this Agreement or any other Credit Document or any of the
instruments or agreements referred to herein or therein, or otherwise amend, modify or supplement this Agreement or any other Credit Document or any of such other instruments or agreements; and/or 

(h) take any other action which would, under otherwise applicable principles of common law, give rise to a legal or equitable discharge of the
Parent from its liabilities under this Parent Guaranty.

-100- 







 13.06 Reliance. It is not necessary for any Guaranteed Creditor to inquire into the
capacity or powers of the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or the officers, directors, partners or agents acting or purporting to act on their behalf, and any Guaranteed Obligations made or created in reliance upon the professed exercise of such
powers shall be guaranteed hereunder. 
 13.07 Subordination. Any indebtedness of the Borrower now or hereafter owing to the Parent
is hereby subordinated to the Guaranteed Obligations of the Borrower owing to the Guaranteed Creditors; and if the Administrative Agent so requests at a time when an Event of Default exists, all such indebtedness of the Borrower to the Parent shall
be collected, enforced and received by the Parent for the benefit of the Guaranteed Creditors and be paid over to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Guaranteed Creditors on account of the Guaranteed Obligations, but without affecting or
impairing in any manner the liability of the Parent under the other provisions of this Parent Guaranty. Prior to the transfer by the Parent of any note or negotiable instrument evidencing any such indebtedness of the Borrower to the Parent, the
Parent shall mark such note or negotiable instrument with a legend that the same is subject to this subordination. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Parent hereby agrees with the Guaranteed Creditors that it will not exercise any
right of subrogation which it may at any time otherwise have as a result of this Parent Guaranty (whether contractual, under Section 509 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise) until all Guaranteed Obligations have been irrevocably paid in full in
cash. 
 13.08 Waiver. (a) The Parent waives any right (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived)
to require any Guaranteed Creditor to (i) proceed against the Borrower, any other guarantor or any other party, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from the Borrower, any other guarantor or any other party or
(iii) pursue any other remedy in any Guaranteed Creditor’s power whatsoever. The Parent waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of the Borrower, any other guarantor or any other party, other than payment in full in cash
of the Guaranteed Obligations, based on or arising out of the disability of the Borrower, any other guarantor or any other party, or the validity, legality or unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the
cessation from any cause of the liability of the Borrower other than payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations. The Guaranteed Creditors may, at their election, foreclose on any security held by the Administrative Agent or any other
Guaranteed Creditor by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable (to the extent such sale is permitted by applicable law), or exercise any other right or remedy the Guaranteed
Creditors may have against the Borrower, or any other party, or any security, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of the Parent hereunder except to the extent the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in cash. The Parent waives
any defense arising out of any such election by the Guaranteed Creditors, even though such election operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of the Parent against the Borrower, or any other
party or any security. 
 (b) The Parent waives all presentments, demands for performance, protests and notices, including, without
limitation, notices of nonperformance, notices of protest, notices of dishonor, notices of acceptance of this Parent Guaranty, and notices of the existence, creation or incurring of new or additional Guaranteed Obligations. The Parent assumes all
responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the Borrower’s financial condition and assets, and of all other 

  
 101 


  

-101- 







 
circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks which the Parent assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that
neither the Administrative Agent nor any of the other Guaranteed Creditors shall have any duty to advise the Parent of information known to them regarding such circumstances or risks. 

13.09 Payment. All payments made by the Parent pursuant to this Section 13 shall be made in Dollars. All payments made by
the Parent pursuant to this Section 13 will be made without setoff, counterclaim or other defense. 
 13.10 Keepwell.
Each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Guarantor to honor all of its obligations under
the guarantee contained herein in respect of Swap Obligations (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section 13.10 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred
without rendering its obligations under this Section 13.10, or otherwise under this Agreement, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations of
each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section 13.10 shall remain in full force and effect until the discharge of the Guaranteed Obligations in full. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section 13.10 constitute, and this
Section 13.10 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Guarantor for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act. 

SECTION 14. Miscellaneous. 

14.01 Payment of Expenses, etc. The Borrower hereby agrees to: (i) whether or not the transactions herein contemplated are
consummated, pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of White & Case LLP and the Administrative Agent’s local maritime
counsel and the Administrative Agent’s consultants, including, without limitation, BankAssure Insurance Services Inc. or such other firm of independent marine insurance brokers that produces an insurance report pursuant to in clause
(viii) of the definition of “Collateral and Guaranty Requirements”) in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and the documents and instruments referred to herein and
therein and any amendment, waiver or consent relating hereto or thereto and any contemplated Redomestication, of the Administrative Agent in connection with its syndication efforts with respect to this Agreement and of the Administrative Agent and,
after the occurrence of an Event of Default, each of the Issuing Lenders and Lenders in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and the documents and instruments referred to herein and therein or in
connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided under this Agreement in the nature of a “work-out” or pursuant to any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings (including, in each case without limitation,
the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel and consultants for the Administrative Agent and, after the occurrence of an Event of Default, counsel for each of the Issuing Lenders and Lenders); (ii) pay and hold the Administrative Agent,
each of the Issuing Lenders and each of the Lenders harmless from and against any and all present and future stamp, documentary, transfer, sales and use, value added, excise and other similar taxes with respect to the foregoing matters, the
performance of any 

  
 102 


  

-102- 







 
obligation under this Agreement or any other Credit Document or any payment thereunder, and save the Administrative Agent, each of the Issuing Lenders and each of the Lenders harmless from and
against any and all liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay or omission (other than to the extent attributable to the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Lender or such Lender) to pay such taxes; and (iii) indemnify the
Administrative Agent, each Issuing Lender and each Lender, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, representatives, agents, affiliates, trustees and investment advisors from and hold each of them harmless against any and all
liabilities, obligations (including removal or remedial actions), losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements (including reasonable attorneys’ and consultants’ fees and disbursements)
incurred by, imposed on or assessed against any of them as a result of, or arising out of, or in any way related to, or by reason of, (a) any investigation, litigation or other proceeding (whether or not the Administrative Agent, any Issuing
Lender or any Lender is a party thereto and whether or not such investigation, litigation or other proceeding is brought by or on behalf of any Credit Party or any third party) related to the entering into and/or performance of this Agreement or any
other Credit Document or the use of any Letter of Credit or the proceeds of any Loans hereunder or the consummation of the Transaction or any other transactions contemplated herein or in any other Credit Document or the exercise of any of their
rights or remedies provided herein or in the other Credit Documents, or (b) the actual or alleged presence of Hazardous Materials in the air, surface water or groundwater or on the surface or subsurface of any Rig or Real Property at any time
owned, leased, operated or occupied by the Parent, the Borrower, or any of the Parent’s other Subsidiaries, the generation, storage, transportation, handling, disposal or Release of Hazardous Materials by the Parent, the Borrower or any of the
Parent’s other Subsidiaries at any location, whether or not owned, leased or operated by the Parent, the Borrower or any of the Parent’s other Subsidiaries, the noncompliance of any Rig or Real Property and Environmental Law (including
applicable permits thereunder) applicable to any Rig or Real Property, or any Environmental Claim asserted against the Parent, the Borrower or any of the Parent’s other Subsidiaries, or any Rig or Real Property at any time owned, leased,
operated or occupied by the Parent, the Borrower or any of the Parent’s other Subsidiaries, including, in each case, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel and other consultants incurred in connection with any such
investigation, litigation or other proceeding (but excluding any losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses to the extent incurred by reason of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Person to be indemnified (as determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision)). To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay or hold harmless the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender set forth in the preceding sentence may be
unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy, the Borrower shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the indemnified liabilities which is permissible under applicable law. 

14.02 Right of Setoff. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law or otherwise, and not by way of
limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Lender and each Lender is hereby authorized at any time or from time to time, without presentment, demand,
protest or other notice of any kind to any Credit Party or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special) and any other Indebtedness at any time
held or owing by the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Lender or such Lender (including, without limitation, by branches and agencies of the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Lender or such Lender wherever 

  
 103 


  

-103- 







 
located) to or for the credit or the account of the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries against and on account of the Obligations and liabilities of the Credit Parties to the Administrative Agent,
such Issuing Lender or such Lender under this Agreement or under any of the other Credit Documents, including, without limitation, all interests in Obligations purchased by such Lender pursuant to Section 14.06(b), and all other claims
of any nature or description arising out of or connected with this Agreement or any other Credit Document, irrespective of whether or not the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Lender or such Lender shall have made any demand hereunder and although
said Obligations, liabilities or claims, or any of them, shall be contingent or unmatured. 
 14.03 Notices. Except as otherwise
expressly provided herein, all notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing (including telegraphic, telex, telecopier or cable communication) and mailed, telegraphed, telexed, telecopied, cabled or delivered: if to any
Credit Party, at the address specified in Schedule XV; if to any Lender, at its address specified on Schedule II; and if to the Administrative Agent, at the Notice Office; or, as to any Credit Party or the Administrative Agent, at such
other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to the other parties hereto and, as to each Lender, at such other address as shall be designated by such Lender in a written notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.
All such notices and communications shall, when mailed, telegraphed, telexed, telecopied, or cabled or sent by overnight courier, be effective when deposited in the mails, delivered to the telegraph company, cable company or overnight courier, as
the case may be, or sent by telex or telecopier, except that notices and communications to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall not be effective until received by the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, as the case may be. 

14.04 Benefit of Agreement; Assignments; Participations. (a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and
be enforceable by the respective permitted successors and assigns of the parties hereto; provided, however, that neither the Parent nor the Borrower (except pursuant to any Redomestication) may assign or transfer any of its rights,
obligations or interest hereunder or under any other Credit Document without the prior written consent of the Lenders, and provided, further that, although any Lender may transfer, assign or grant participations in its rights hereunder
without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such Lender shall remain a “Lender” for all purposes hereunder (and may not transfer or assign all or any portion of its Commitments hereunder except as provided in
Sections 2.12 and 14.04(b)) and the transferee, assignee or participant (each a “Participating Entity”), as the case may be, shall not constitute a “Lender” hereunder and provided, further, that
no Lender shall transfer or grant any participation under which the Participating Entity shall have rights to approve any amendment to or waiver of this Agreement or any other Credit Document except to the extent such amendment or waiver would
(i) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Loan or Note or Letter of Credit (unless such Letter of Credit is not extended beyond the Extended Commitment Maturity Date) in which
such Participating Entity is participating, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or Fees thereon (except in connection with a waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates) or reduce the principal
amount thereof (it being understood that any amendment or modification to the financial definitions in this Agreement or to Section 14.07(a) shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest or Fees payable hereunder) or increase
the amount of the Participating Entity’s participation over the amount thereof then in effect (it being understood that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the Total Commitment shall not 

  
 104 


  

-104- 







 
constitute a change in the terms of such participation, and that an increase in any Commitment (or the available portion thereof) or Loan shall be permitted without the consent of any
Participating Entity if the Participating Entity’s participation is not increased as a result thereof), (ii) consent to the assignment or transfer by the Parent or the Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement or
(iii) release all or substantially all of the Collateral under all of the Security Documents (except as expressly provided in the Credit Documents) supporting the Loans or Letters of Credit hereunder in which such Participating Entity is
participating. In the case of any such participation, the Participating Entity shall not have any rights under this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents (the Participating Entity’s rights against such Lender in respect of such
participation to be those set forth in the agreement executed by such Lender in favor of the Participating Entity relating thereto) and all amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such
participation. The Borrower agrees that each Participating Entity shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.09 and 5.04 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had
acquired its interest by assignment; provided that such Participating Entity (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 2.11 and 2.12 as if it were a Lender that had acquired its interest by assignment and
(B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.09 or 5.04 with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to
receive a greater payment results from a change in law of the type described in Section 2.09(a) (i) that occurs after the Participating Entity acquired the applicable participation. 

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Lender (or any Lender together with one or more other Lenders) may (x) assign all or a portion of
its Commitments and related outstanding Obligations hereunder to (i) (A) its parent company and/or any affiliate of such other Lender which is at least 50% owned by such Lender or its parent company or (B) to one or
more other Lenders or any affiliate of any such other Lender which is at least 50% owned by such other Lender or its parent company (provided that any fund that invests in loans and
is managed or advised by the same investment advisor of another fund which is a Lender (or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor) shall be treated as an affiliate of such other Lender for the purposes of this
sub-clause (x)(i)(B)), (ii) in the case of any Lender that is a fund that invests in loans, any other fund that invests in loans and is managed or advised by the same investment advisor of any Lender or
by an Affiliate of such investment advisor, or (iii) to one or more Lenders, provided that no assignment under Section 14.04(b) may be made to any Person that is, or would at such time constitute, a Defaulting Lender, or
(y) with the consent of the Borrower (which consent (i) shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and shall not be required if any Default under Section 11.01 or 11.05 or any Event of Default is then in existence and
(ii) shall be deemed to have been given to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five Business Days after having received notice thereof), assign all, or if less than all, a
portion equal to an amount which shall not be less than $20,000,000 (or such lesser amount as may be mutually agreed by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) in the aggregate and in integral multiples of $1,000,000 thereafter for the assigning
Lender or assigning Lenders, of such Commitments and related outstanding Obligations hereunder to one or more Eligible Transferees (treating any fund that invests in bank loans and any other fund that invests in bank loans and is managed or advised
by the same investment advisor of such fund or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor as a single Eligible Transferee), each of which assignees shall become a party to this Agreement as a Lender by execution of an Assignment and Assumption
Agreement, 

  
 105 


  

-105- 







 
provided that (i) at such time, Schedule I shall be deemed modified to reflect the Commitments and/or outstanding Loans, as the case may be, of such new Lender and of the
existing Lenders, (ii) upon the surrender of the relevant Notes by the assigning Lender, new Notes will be issued, at the Borrower’s expense, to such new Lender and to the assigning Lender upon the request of such new Lender or assigning
Lender, such new Notes to be in conformity with the requirements of Section 2.05 (with appropriate modifications) to the extent needed to reflect the revised Commitments and/or outstanding Loans, as the case may be, (iii) the
consent of the Administrative Agent and, in the case of an assignment of Commitments, each Issuing Lender, shall be required in connection with any such assignment pursuant to clause (y) above (which consent shall not, in any case, be
unreasonably withheld or delayed), (iv) the Administrative Agent shall receive at the time of each such assignment, from the assigning or assignee Lender, the payment of a non-refundable assignment fee of $3,500 and (v) no such transfer or
assignment will be effective until recorded by the Administrative Agent on the Register pursuant to Section 14.15. To the extent of any assignment pursuant to this Section 14.04(b), the assigning Lender shall be relieved of
its obligations hereunder with respect to its assigned Commitments and outstanding Loans. To the extent that an assignment of all or any portion of a Lender’s Commitments and related outstanding Obligations pursuant to Section 2.12
or this Section 14.04(b) would, at the time of such assignment, result in increased costs under Sections 2.09, 3.06 or 5.04 from those being charged by the respective assigning Lender prior to such assignment, then
the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay such increased costs (although the Borrower, in accordance with and pursuant to the other provisions of this Agreement, shall be obligated to pay any other increased costs of the type described above
resulting from changes after the date of the respective assignment). 
 (c) Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or prohibit any Lender
from pledging its Loans and Notes hereunder to a Federal Reserve Bank or any central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender in support of borrowings made by such Lender from such Federal Reserve Bank or central bank and, with prior notification
to the Administrative Agent (but without the consent of the Administrative Agent or the Borrower), any Lender which is a fund may pledge all or any portion of its Loans and Notes to its trustee or to a collateral agent providing credit or credit
support to such Lender in support of its obligations to such trustee, such collateral agent or a holder of such obligations, as the case may be. No pledge pursuant to this clause (c) shall release the transferor Lender from any of its
obligations hereunder. 
 14.05 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent, the
Collateral Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document and no course of dealing between the Borrower or any other Credit Party and the Administrative Agent, the
Collateral Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document preclude any other or further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder. The rights, powers and remedies herein or in any other Credit Document expressly provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, powers or remedies
which the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender would otherwise have. No notice to or demand on any Credit Party in any case shall entitle any Credit Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or
other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand. 

  
 106 


  

-106- 







 14.06 Payments Pro Rata. (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the
Administrative Agent agrees that promptly after its receipt of each payment from or on behalf of the Borrower in respect of any Obligations hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the Lenders entitled thereto (other than
any Lender that has consented in writing to waive its pro rata share of any such payment) pro rata based upon their respective shares, if any, of the Obligations with respect to which such payment was received. 

(b) Each of the Lenders agrees that, if it should receive any amount hereunder (whether by voluntary payment, by realization upon security, by
the exercise of the right of setoff or banker’s Lien, by counterclaim or cross action, by the enforcement of any right under the Credit Documents, or otherwise), which is applicable to the payment of the principal of, or interest on, the Loans,
Unpaid Drawings, or Fees, of a sum which with respect to the related sum or sums received by other Lenders is in a greater proportion than the total of such Obligation then owed and due to such Lender bears to the total of such Obligation then owed
and due to all of the Lenders immediately prior to such receipt, then such Lender receiving such excess payment shall purchase for cash without recourse or warranty from the other Lenders an interest in the Obligations of the respective Credit Party
to such Lenders in such amount as shall result in a proportional participation by all the Lenders in such amount; provided that (x) if all or any portion of such excess amount is thereafter recovered from such Lenders, such purchase
shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest and (y) any payment received in consideration for an assignment of participation permitted pursuant to Section 14.04 to a Person
other than the Parent or an Affiliate thereof shall not be subject to this Section 14.06(b). 
 (c) Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained herein, the provisions of the preceding Sections 14.06(a) and (b) shall be subject to the express provisions of this Agreement which require, or permit, differing payments to be made to Non-Defaulting

the Lenders pursuant hereto shall be made and prepared in accordance with GAAP in the United States consistently applied throughout the periods involved (except as set forth in the notes thereto or as otherwise disclosed in writing by the Borrower

is required is not obtained or (y) in the event that any Lender shall refuse to consent to a Redomestication under the laws of a jurisdiction that requires Required Lender consent pursuant to the definition of “Redomestication”, then
the Borrower shall have the right, so long as all non-consenting Lenders whose individual consent is required are treated as described in either clauses (A) or (B) below, to either (A) replace each such non-consenting Lender or
Lenders with one or more Replacement Lenders pursuant to Section 2.12 so long as at the time of such replacement, each such Replacement Lender consents to the proposed change, waiver, discharge, termination or Redomestication, as
applicable, or (B) terminate such non-consenting Lender’s Commitments and/or repay outstanding Loans of such Lender in accordance with Sections 4.02(b) and/or 5.01(b), provided that, in the case of clause

Loans of existing Lenders (who in each case must specifically consent thereto), then in the case of any action pursuant to preceding clause (B) the Required Lenders (determined after giving effect to the proposed action) shall specifically
consent thereto, provided, further, that in any event the Borrower shall not have the right to replace a Lender, terminate its Commitments or repay its Loans solely as a result of the exercise of such Lender’s rights (and the
withholding of any required consent by such Lender) pursuant to Section 14.12(a)(Z)(1).

 14.13 Survival. All indemnities set forth herein including, without limitation, in
Sections 2.09, 2.10, 3.06, 5.04, 12.06 and 14.01 shall survive the execution, delivery and termination of this Agreement and the Notes and the making and repayment of the Obligations. 

14.14 Domicile of Loans. Each Lender may transfer and carry its Loans at, to or for the account of any office, Subsidiary or Affiliate
of such Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, to the extent that a transfer of Loans pursuant to this Section 14.14 would, at the time of such transfer, result in increased costs under
Section 2.09, 2.10, 3.06 or 5.04 from those being charged by the respective Lender prior to such transfer, then the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay such increased costs (although the Borrower shall be
obligated to pay any other increased costs of the type described above resulting from changes after the date of the respective transfer). 

14.15 Register; Participant Register. (a) The Borrower hereby designates the Administrative Agent to serve as its agent, solely
for purposes of this Section 14.15, to maintain a register (the “Register”) on which it will record the Commitments from time to time of each of the Lenders, the Loans made by each of the Lenders and each repayment in
respect of the principal amount of the Loans of each Lender. Failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect the Borrower’s obligations in respect of such Loans. With respect to any Lender, the transfer
of the Commitments of such Lender and the rights to the principal of, and interest on, any Loan made pursuant to such Commitments shall not be effective until such transfer is recorded on the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent with
respect to ownership of such Commitments and Loans and prior to such recordation all amounts owing to the transferor with respect to such Commitments and Loans shall remain owing to the transferor. The registration of assignment or transfer of all
or part of any Commitments and Loans shall be recorded by the Administrative Agent on the Register only upon the acceptance by the Administrative Agent of a properly executed and delivered Assignment and Assumption Agreement pursuant to
Section 14.04(b). Coincident with the delivery of such an Assignment and Assumption Agreement to the Administrative Agent for acceptance and registration of assignment or transfer of all or part of a Loan, or as soon thereafter as
practicable, the assigning or transferor Lender shall surrender the Note (if any) evidencing such Loan, and thereupon one or more new Notes in the same aggregate principal amount shall be issued to the assigning or transferor Lender and/or the new
Lender at the request of any such Lender. The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities of whatsoever nature which may be imposed on, asserted against or incurred by
the Administrative Agent in performing its duties under this Section 14.15. 
 (b) Each Lender that sells a participation 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 Participating Entity and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participating Entity’s
interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Credit Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity
of any Participating Entity or any information relating 

  
 112 


  

-112- 







 
to a Participating Entity’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Credit Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure
is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive
absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of
doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. 

14.16 Confidentiality. (a) Subject to the provisions of clause (b) of this Section 14.16, each Lender agrees that
it will use its reasonable efforts not to disclose without the prior consent of the Parent (other than to its employees, auditors, advisors or counsel or to another Lender if such Lender or such Lender’s holding or parent company or board of
trustees in its sole discretion determines that any such party should have access to such information, provided such Persons shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 14.16 to the same extent as such Lender) any information with
respect to the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries which is now or in the future furnished pursuant to this Agreement or any other Credit Document, provided that any Lender may disclose any such information (i) as has become generally
available to the public other than by virtue of a breach of this Section 14.16(a) by the respective Lender, (ii) as may be required or appropriate in any report, statement or testimony submitted to any municipal, state, Federal or
foreign regulatory body having or claiming to have jurisdiction over such Lender or to the Federal Reserve Board or the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or similar organizations (whether in the United States or elsewhere) or their successors,
(iii) as may be required or appropriate with respect to any summons or subpoena or in connection with any litigation, provided that such Lender will use reasonable efforts to notify the Borrower prior to such disclosure to the extent
practicable and permitted by law, (iv) in order to comply with any law, order, regulation or ruling applicable to such Lender, (v) to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, (vi) to any direct or indirect contractual
counterparty in any swap, hedge, securitization or similar agreement (or to any such contractual counterparty’s professional advisor), so long as such contractual counterparty (or such professional advisor) agrees to be bound by the provisions
of this Section 14.16, and (vii) to any prospective or actual transferee or Participating Entity in connection with any contemplated transfer or participation of any of the Notes or Commitments or any interest therein by such
Lender, provided that such prospective transferee agrees to be bound by the confidentiality provisions contained in this Section 14.16. 

(b) Each of the Parent and the Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that each Lender may share with any of its affiliates, and such
affiliates may share with such Lender, any information related to the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries (including, without limitation, any non-public customer information regarding the creditworthiness of the Parent and its Subsidiaries), provided
such Persons shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 14.16 to the same extent as such Lender. 
 (c) No Lender
provides accounting, tax or legal advice. Notwithstanding Section 14.16(a) of this Agreement, the Borrower, the Parent and each Lender hereby agree and acknowledge that the Borrower, the Parent and each Lender (and each employee,
representative, or other agent of the Borrower, the Parent and each Lender) may disclose to any and all persons, 

  
 113 


  

-113- 







 
without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the transaction (within the meaning of Section 6011 and Section 6111 of the Code) and all materials of any kind
(including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to the Borrower, the Parent and each Lender (and each employee, representative, or other agent of the Borrower, the Parent and each Lender) relating to such tax treatment and tax
structure. This authorization is effective without limitation of any kind from the commencement of our discussions between the parties hereto. 

14.17 Insurance Proceeds. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement (but without limiting any rights of the
Collateral Agent, Administrative Agent or the other Secured Creditors under any Security Document), the Parent and its Subsidiaries shall be required to pay to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Creditors insurance proceeds
payable to any such Person by reason of a single event or group of events related to a Collateral Rig (except for any loss under any insurance on the Collateral Rigs with respect to protection and indemnity risks which may be paid directly to the
owner of the Collateral Rig to reimburse it for any loss, damage or expense incurred by it and covered by such insurance or to the person to whom any liability covered by such insurance has been incurred) to the extent such insurance proceeds
received in respect of such event or events exceeds $25,000,000 (which insurance proceeds shall be retained by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Creditors as cash collateral for the Obligations or, at the direction of the
Required Lenders, shall be applied to repay outstanding Loans) (it being understood that such repayment of outstanding Loans shall be applied on a pro rata basis among outstanding Loans); provided that, notwithstanding the
foregoing, if no Default or Event of Default then exists and the Parent and its Subsidiaries are in compliance with Section 10.09, in each case, after giving effect to any such event or events and receipt of such insurance proceeds, the
Parent or such Subsidiary shall be permitted to retain such insurance proceeds; provided, further, that in the event that the Administrative Agent retains any such insurance proceeds as cash collateral for the Obligations and any such
Default or Event of Default is cured or waived and any violation of Section 10.09 is waived, such insurance proceeds shall be permitted to be returned to the Parent or such Subsidiary. 

14.18 USA PATRIOT Act Notice. Each Lender hereby notifies each Credit Party that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act
(Title III of Pub.: 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (as amended or modified from time to time, the “PATRIOT Act”), it is required to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each Credit Party, which
information includes the name of each Credit Party and other “know your customer” information that will allow such Lender to identify each Credit Party in accordance with the PATRIOT Act and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, and
each Credit Party agrees to provide such information from time to time to any Lender. 

14.19 Extending Lender Approval of Post-Non-Extended Maturity Date Amendments. To the
extent that any amendment or modification of the provisions of this Agreement after the Second Amendment Effective Date for which the consent of Required Lenders is required pursuant to Section 14.12 would modify the provisions of this
Agreement with respect to the period ending on or after the Non-Extended Maturity Date, such amendment or modification will not be applicable to this Agreement after the Non-Extended Maturity Date unless the Majority Extending Lenders on the date of
such amendment or modification have also 

  
 114 


  

-114- 







 
consented to such amendment or modification in writing. For purposes of this Section 14.19, “Majority Extending Lenders”
shall mean, at any time, the Extending Lenders that are Non-Defaulting Lenders and that would constitute the Required Lenders under, and as defined in, this Agreement if the Non-Extending Commitments were terminated and the Loans made thereunder had
been repaid in full.

or warranty (other than as expressly provided herein), and the Assignee hereby purchases and assumes from the Assignor, that interest and amount in and to all of the Assignor’s rights and obligations under the Credit Agreement and any other
documents or instruments delivered pursuant thereto as of the date hereof which represents the percentage interest specified in Item 4 of Annex I attached hereto (the “Assigned Share”) of all of the Assignor’s outstanding
rights and obligations under the Credit Agreement and any other documents or instruments delivered pursuant hereto indicated in Item 4 of such Annex I, including, without limitation, in the case of any assignment of all or any portion of the
Assignor’s Commitment, all rights and obligations with respect to the Assigned Share of the each applicable Class of Commitments and of all outstanding Loans of each applicable Class and Letters of Credit.

that such interest is free and clear of any liens or security interests; (ii) makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with the
Credit Agreement or the other Credit Documents or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of the Credit Agreement or the other Credit Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant
thereto; and (iii) makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or the performance or observance by the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries of
any of their respective obligations under the Credit Agreement or the other Credit Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto. 

3. The Assignee (i) confirms that it is an Eligible Transferee; (ii) confirms that it has received a copy of the Credit Agreement and
the other Credit Documents, together with copies of the financial statements referred to therein and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Assignment and
Assumption Agreement; (iii) agrees that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Assignor or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue
to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under the Credit Agreement; (iv) appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers
under the Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent by the terms thereof,

Assignor pursuant to the Credit Agreement which are outstanding on the Settlement Date, net of any closing costs, and which are being assigned hereunder. The Assignor and the Assignee shall make all appropriate adjustments in payments under the
