that the Commitments are several and no Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make Loans as required. 
 (a)
Types of Loans. Subject to Section 3.03, each Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of ABR Loans or Eurodollar Loans as the Borrowers may request in accordance herewith. Each Lender at its option may make any
Eurodollar Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided, that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrowers to repay such Loan in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement and such domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate will be subject to the requirements under Section 5.03(g). 

  
 38 













 (b) Notes. Any Lender may request that the Loans made by it be evidenced by a
promissory note. In such event, the Borrowers shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender or its registered assigns, substantially in the form of Exhibit A (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent) dated (i) the Effective Date or (ii) the effective date of an Assignment pursuant to Section 12.04(b), in a principal amount equal to its Commitment as originally in effect and otherwise duly
completed and such substitute Notes as required by Section 12.04(b); provided, that promissory notes requested in amounts less than $1,000,000 shall require the consent of the Parent Borrower, such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed. The date, amount, Type, interest rate and Interest Period of each Loan made by each Lender and all payments made on account of the principal thereof, shall be recorded by such Lender on its books and maintained in
accordance with its usual practice. Failure to make such recordation shall not affect any Lender’s or the Borrowers’ rights or obligations in respect of such Loans. In the event that one or more Notes shall be issued after the Effective
Date, it shall not be necessary to tender or present any such Note to the Administrative Agent for any payment hereunder, including on the Maturity Date. 

(c) Requests for Borrowings. To request a Borrowing, the Borrowers shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, for distribution to the
Lenders, a written Borrowing Request in substantially the form of Exhibit B-1 and signed by the Borrowers (A) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, (x) in the case of a Borrowing pursuant to
Section 2.01(a), within one Business Day of the Interim Order Entry Date and (y) in the case of a Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.01(b), not later than 12:00 p.m., Eastern time, eight (8) Business Days before the proposed
Borrowing and (B) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, (x) in the case of a Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.01(a), within one Business Day of the Interim Order Entry Date and (y) in the case of a Borrowing pursuant to
Section 2.01(b), not later than 12:00 p.m., Eastern time, eight (8) Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing. Each such Borrowing Request shall specify the following information: 

(i) the aggregate amount of the requested Borrowing; 

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

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

(iv) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto, which shall be a period
contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”; and 
 (v) the wire instructions of the
account to which funds are to be disbursed. 

  
 39 













 Each Borrowing (other than Exchanged Loans) shall be in an aggregate amount that is an
integral multiple of $1,000,000 or such lesser amount equal to the remaining Commitment. If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified, then the requested Borrowing shall be a Eurodollar Borrowing with an Interest Period of one
month’s duration. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Eurodollar Borrowing, then the Borrowers shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. Promptly following receipt of a
Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section 2.02, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing.

 Section 2.03 Interest Elections. 

(a) Conversion and Continuance. Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the
case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrowers may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a
Eurodollar Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section 2.03. The Borrowers may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each
such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. Subject to clause (b) below, each conversion or
continuation shall be made by giving the Administrative Agent (x) in the case of a conversion or continuation into a Eurodollar Loan, at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice, and (y) in the case of a conversion
into an ABR Loan, at least one (1) Business Day’s prior written notice. 
 (b) Interest Election Requests. To make an
election pursuant to this Section 2.03, the Borrowers shall deliver an Interest Election Request in substantially the form of Exhibit C and signed by the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent at least three
(3) Business Days prior to such election. 
 (c) Information in Interest Election Requests. Each Interest Election Request shall
specify the following information: 
 (i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different
options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(iii) and
(iv) shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing); 
 (ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant
to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day; 
 (iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR
Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing; and 
 (iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period to
be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period.” 

  
 40 













 If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing but does not specify
an Interest Period, then the Borrowers shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. 
 (d) Notice to
Lenders by the Administrative Agent. Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing. 

(e) Effect of Failure to Deliver Timely Interest Election Request and Events of Default. If the Borrowers fail to deliver a timely
Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurodollar Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be
converted to a Eurodollar Borrowing with an Interest Period of one month’s duration. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing: (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or
continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing (and any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective) and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar
Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto. 
 Section 2.04 Funding of
Borrowings. 
 (a) Funding by Lenders. Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date
thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 1:00 p.m., Eastern time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans
available to the Borrowers by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account designated by the Borrowers in the applicable Borrowing Request, which shall be an account of a Borrower. Nothing herein shall be deemed to
obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for its Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for its Loan in any particular place or manner; provided,
that without limiting the provisions of Section 12.19, the Parent Borrower hereby agrees and directs that all Loans funded hereunder shall be funded to the Co-Borrower to an account
specified by the Co-Borrower. 
 (b) Presumption of Funding by the Lenders. Unless the
Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Borrowing, the
Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such Applicable Percentage available on such date in accordance with Section 2.04(a) and may (but shall have no obligation to), in reliance upon such assumption,
make available to the Borrowers a corresponding amount. In such event, if such Lender has not in fact made its Applicable Percentage of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrowers
severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrowers to but excluding the date of payment to
the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds 

  
 41 













 
Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by the
Borrowers, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans. If the Borrowers and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrowers the
amount of such interest paid by the Borrowers for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any
payment by the Borrowers shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrowers may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent. 

Section 2.05 Termination and Reduction of Commitments. 

(a) Scheduled Termination of Commitments. Upon the making of the Initial Draw Loans pursuant to
Section 2.01(a), the Initial Draw Commitments shall terminate in full. Upon the making of the Delayed Draw Loans pursuant to Section 2.01(b), the Delayed Draw Commitments shall terminate in full.
In addition, the Delayed Draw Commitments shall terminate as set forth in the proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.01(b). 

(b) Optional Termination and Reduction of Commitments. 

(i) The Borrowers may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Commitments; provided, that each reduction
of the Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000. 
 (ii) The Parent Borrower shall notify
the Administrative Agent in writing of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments under Section 2.05(b)(i) at least three (3) Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction,
specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Parent Borrower pursuant to this
Section 2.05(b)(ii) shall be irrevocable; provided, that a notice of termination of the Commitments delivered by the Parent Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the occurrence of a specified event,
in which case such notice may be revoked by the Parent Borrower (by written notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments shall be
permanent and may not be reinstated. Each reduction of the Commitments shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with each Lender’s Applicable Percentage; provided, that if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender at such time as
the Parent Borrower elects to terminate or reduce the Commitments hereunder, the Parent Borrower may (in its discretion) apply all or any portion of the Commitments to be reduced, to the Commitment of any one or more Defaulting Lenders specified by
the Parent Borrower before applying any remaining reduction to all Lenders. 
 Section 2.06 Replacement of Lenders. The Parent
Borrower shall be permitted to replace any Lender that (a) requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 5.01 or 5.03, (b) fails to vote in favor of any measure requiring the affirmative vote of
one hundred percent (100%) of the Lenders or all affected Lenders (and such measure has otherwise received the affirmative vote by the Required Lenders) or (c) is a Defaulting Lender, with any Person that meets the requirements to be an
assignee under Section 12.04; provided, that: 

  
 42 













 (i) such replacement does not conflict with any Governmental Requirement;

 (ii) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement that has not been waived in
accordance with the terms hereof; 
 (iii) prior to any such replacement, such Lender shall have taken no action under
Section 5.04 so as to eliminate the continued need for payment of amounts owing pursuant to Section 5.01 or 5.03(a); 

(iv) the replacement financial institution shall purchase, at par, all Loans and other amounts owing to such replaced Lender on
or prior to the date of replacement; 
 (v) the Borrowers shall be liable to such replaced Lender under Section 5.02 if
any Eurodollar Loan owing to such replaced Lender shall be purchased other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto; 

(vi) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of
Section 12.04 (provided, that any replaced Lender shall be deemed to have consented to the assignment and delegation of its interests, rights and obligations if it does not execute and deliver an Assignment to the
Administrative Agent within three (3) Business Days after having received a request therefor, and the Borrowers shall be obligated to pay the registration and processing fee referred to therein); 

(vii) until such time as such replacement shall be consummated, the Borrowers shall pay all additional amounts (if any)
required pursuant to Section 5.01 or 5.03(a), as the case may be and 
 (viii) any such
replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender. 

Section 2.07 Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a
Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law: 
 (a)
Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Required Lenders. 

(b) Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the
account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article X or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 12.08 shall be applied
by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such 

  
 43 













 
Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder (including any legal fees and expenses); second, as the Parent Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to
the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement; third, if so determined by the Parent Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order
to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement; fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction
obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fifth, so long as no Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrowers as
a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and sixth, to such Defaulting Lender
or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided, that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share,
and (y) such Loans were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 6.03 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of all
non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the
Commitments under the applicable facility. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such
Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto. 
 Section 2.08 Priority and Liens; No Discharge 

(a) Each of the Loan Parties hereby covenants and agrees that upon the entry of an Interim Order (and when applicable, the Final Order) its
obligations hereunder and under the Loan Documents shall, subject to the Carve Out and Permitted Priority Liens, at all times, pursuant to Section 364(c)(2), (c)(3) and (d) of the Bankruptcy Code, be secured by a perfected Lien on and
security interest in all of the Collateral of the Loan Parties, whether consisting of real property, or personal, tangible or intangible property (including (x) all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of subsidiaries, (y) the
Vessels listed on Schedule 8.14 and any Vessels (if any) described in Section 8.14(a)(iii), and (z) any Property and rights of the Loan Parties described in the Guaranty and Collateral Agreement), whether now owned or hereafter acquired,
excepting, as provided in the Guaranty and Collateral Agreement, Excluded Assets, unless such Collateral has been released in accordance with Section 11.11 in connection with transactions permitted under the Loan Documents.

 (b) The relative priorities of the Liens with respect to the Collateral shall be as set forth in the Interim Order (and, when entered, the
Final Order). 
 (c) Each Loan Party hereby confirms and acknowledges that, pursuant to the Interim Order (and, when entered, the Final
Order), the Liens in favor of the Collateral Agent on behalf of and for the benefit of the Secured Parties in all of the Collateral shall be created and perfected, to the maximum extent permitted by law, without the execution or the recordation or
filing in any land records or filing offices of, any Mortgage, assignment, security agreements, mortgages, control agreements, pledge agreements, financing statements or other similar documents, or the possession or control by the Collateral Agent
of, or over, any Collateral, as set forth in the Interim Order (and, when entered, the Final Order). 

  
 44 













 (d) Each of the Loan Parties agrees that to the extent that the Indebtedness shall not have
been satisfied in full in cash, (i) such Indebtedness shall not be discharged by any order confirming a Chapter 11 Plan (and each of the Loan Parties, pursuant to Section 1141(d)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code, hereby waives any such discharge)
and (ii) the Superpriority Claim granted to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders pursuant to the Orders and the Liens granted to the Collateral Agent and the Lenders pursuant to the Orders shall not be affected in any manner by any order
confirming a Chapter 11 Plan. 
 (e) [Reserved]. 

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each Federally Regulated Lender waives and releases any and all liens, security interests
or the rights it may have in and to any Federally Regulated Lender Excluded Property and reserves all rights as a Secured Party with respect to all Collateral, other than Federally Regulated Lender Excluded Property. 

ARTICLE III 
 Payments of
Principal and Interest; Prepayments; Fees 
 Section 3.01 Repayment of Loans. The Borrowers hereby unconditionally
promise to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender, the then unpaid principal amount of each Loan on the Maturity Date (or, if earlier, the Termination Date). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if the
Termination Date occurs as a result of the consummation of the Acceptable Plan attached hereto as Exhibit K, the Loans shall be provided such treatment as is contemplated under Article II.A. of the Acceptable Plan attached hereto as
Exhibit K, upon consummation thereof. 
 Section 3.02 Interest. 

(a) ABR Loans. The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin, but in
no event to exceed the Highest Lawful Rate. 
 (b) Eurodollar Loans. The Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear
interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin, but in no event to exceed the Highest Lawful Rate. 

(c) Post-Default. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default has occurred and
is continuing, upon the request of the Required Lenders, all Loans outstanding hereunder shall bear interest from and after the date of such Event of Default until such Event of Default has been cured or waived, after as well as before judgment, at
a rate per annum equal to two percent (2.00%) plus the then applicable rate of interest accruing on such Loan as provided in Sections 3.02(a) and (b), but in no event to exceed the Highest Lawful Rate. 

  
 45 













 (d) Interest Payment Dates. Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears
on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and on the Maturity Date and shall be payable entirely in cash; provided, that (i) interest accrued pursuant to Section 3.02(c) shall be payable on demand,
(ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than an optional prepayment of an ABR Loan prior to the Maturity Date), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such
repayment or prepayment, and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion. 

(e) Interest Rate Computations. All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, unless such computation
would exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, in which case interest shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base
Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The
applicable Alternate Base Rate, Adjusted LIBO Rate or LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and be binding upon the parties hereto. 

Section 3.03 Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing: 

(a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do
not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate for such Interest Period; or 
 (b) the Administrative Agent is advised by
the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate or LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest
Period; 
 then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Parent Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as
practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Parent Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any
Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective, and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing. 

Section 3.04 Prepayments. 

(a) Optional Prepayments. The Borrowers shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in
part, subject to prior notice in accordance with Section 3.04(b), and subject to the premiums set forth in Section 3.04(d). 

(b) Notice and Terms of Optional Prepayment. The Parent Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by delivery of a notice of
prepayment in the form of Exhibit B-2 hereto (“Notice of Prepayment”) executed by a Responsible Officer of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment
of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 1:00 p.m., Eastern time, three (3) Business Days before the date of prepayment, or (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR 

  
 46 













 
Borrowing, not later than 1:00 p.m., Eastern time, two (2) Business Days before the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date, the
principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid; provided, that if a Notice of Prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Commitments as contemplated by
Section 2.05(b), then such Notice of Prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.05(b), but the Borrowers shall be responsible for any break
funding payments pursuant to Section 5.02. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the applicable Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment
of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.03. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the
prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 3.02, and subject to the premiums set forth in Section 3.04(d). Each prepayment hereunder
shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 (or such lesser amount or integral to repay a Borrowing in full). 
 (c)
Mandatory Prepayments. 
 (i) Asset Sales. Not later than three (3) Business Days following each date on
which the aggregate amount of (x) Net Proceeds from all Asset Sales consummated following the Effective Date and (y) Specified Proceeds received by the Parent Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary thereof in the aggregate exceeds
$1,000,000, the Parent Borrower shall deliver an offer to the Administrative Agent (which shall furnish such offer pro rata (based on the amount of principal of the outstanding Loans) to each Lender) to prepay the Loans of the Lenders in an
aggregate principal amount equal to the amount of such Net Proceeds and/or Specified Proceeds, which prepayment shall be made in cash at par plus accrued and unpaid interest (if any) (which prepayment, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be made
without any premium or call protection other than the premiums set forth in Section 3.04(d)) to the date of such prepayment (each such offer, an “Asset Sale Proceeds Offer”). Each Lender may decline all but
not less than all of its pro rata share of any Asset Sale Proceeds Offer (any such amounts not accepted, the “Declined Amounts”) by providing written notice (a “Rejection Notice”) to the Administrative Agent and the
Parent Borrower no later than 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, three (3) Business Days after the date of delivery of such Asset Sale Proceeds Offer. If a Lender fails to deliver a Rejection Notice to the Administrative Agent within the time period
specified above, such Lender shall be deemed to have accepted such Asset Sale Proceeds Offer. The Borrowers shall prepay all Loans required to be prepaid by it under this Section 3.04(c)(i) no later than one
(1) Business Day after expiration of the time period specified above. Any Declined Amounts shall no longer be subject to this Section 3.04(c)(i) and may be used by the Parent Borrower or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries in any manner not prohibited by this Agreement. If the aggregate principal amount of Loans requested to be repaid exceeds the aggregate amount to be repaid by the Borrowers pursuant to this
Section 3.04(c)(i) the Administrative Agent shall apply the amounts to be repaid by the Borrowers to the Loans requested to be repaid on a pro rata basis based on the principal amount of such Loans. 

(ii) [Reserved]. 

  
 47 













 (d) Premium. In the event all or any portion of the Loans are prepaid, repaid,
repriced or effectively refinanced through any amendment of the Loans (including, without limitation, through the conversion of the Loans to an “exit” financing upon or following the Confirmation Date) or accelerated for any reason
following the Effective Date, such prepayments, repayments, repricings, refinancings or acceleration will be made at 101.0% of the amount repaid, repriced, refinanced or accelerated (and for the avoidance of doubt such 1.00% premium shall be payable
in cash). 
 Section 3.05 Fees. 

(a) Administrative Agent Fees. The Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts
and at the times separately agreed upon between the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent in the applicable Fee Letter. 
 (b) Other
Fees. The Borrowers agree to pay to the Lenders as of the Effective Date (or such other Lenders as set forth in the applicable Fee Letter), fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Borrowers and such
Lenders in the applicable Fee Letter. 
 ARTICLE IV 

Payments; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing Set-offs 

Section 4.01 Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs. 

(a) Payments by the Borrowers. The Borrowers shall make each payment required to be made by them hereunder (whether of principal,
interest, fees or reimbursement of amounts payable under Section 5.01, Section 5.02, Section 5.03 or otherwise) prior to 12:00 p.m., Eastern time, on the date when due, in
immediately available funds, without defense, deduction, recoupment, set-off or counterclaim. Fees, once paid, shall be fully earned and shall not be refundable under any circumstances. Any amounts received
after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative
Agent at its offices specified in Section 12.01, except that payments pursuant to Section 5.01, Section 5.02, Section 5.03 and Section 12.03
shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate Recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment
hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such
extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in U.S. dollars. 
 (b) Application of Insufficient Payments. If at any time
insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due
hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal then due hereunder (plus any fees and expenses owed to the
Administrative Agent), pro rata among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties. 

  
 48 













 (c) Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of
setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or other obligations hereunder resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and
accrued interest thereon or other such obligations (other than pursuant to Section 5.01, Section 5.02, Section 5.03 and Section 12.03) greater
than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (i) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (ii) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and such
other obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued
interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them; provided, that: 
 (A) if any such participations
are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and 

(B) the provisions of this Section 4.01(c) shall not be construed to apply to (1) any payment
made by the Borrowers pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or (2) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or
participant, other than to the Parent Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries. The Borrowers consent to the foregoing and agree, to the extent they may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the
foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrowers rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of each Loan Party in the amount of such participation. 

Section 4.02 Presumption of Payment by the Borrowers. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the
Borrowers prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders that the Borrowers will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrowers have made such payment on such
date in accordance herewith and may (but shall have no obligation to), in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrowers have not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally
agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the
Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

 Section 4.03 Certain Deductions by the Administrative Agent. If any
Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.04(a) or Section 4.02 then the Administrative Agent may (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof) apply
any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid. If at any time prior to the acceleration
or maturity of the Loans, the Administrative Agent shall receive any payment in respect of principal of a Loan while one or more Defaulting Lenders shall be party to this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall apply such payment first to the
Borrowing(s) for which such Defaulting Lender(s) shall have failed to fund its pro rata share until such time as such Borrowing(s) are paid in full or each Lender (including each Defaulting Lender) is owed its Applicable Percentage of all Loans then
outstanding. After acceleration or maturity of the Loans, all principal will be paid ratably as provided in Section 10.02(c). 

ARTICLE V 
 Increased
Costs; Break Funding Payments; Taxes; Illegality 
 Section 5.01 Increased Costs. 

(a) Changes in Law. If any Change in Law shall: 

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement
against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate); 

(ii) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses
(b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable
thereto; or 
 (iii) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than
Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender; 
 and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such
other Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan, or to increase the cost to such Lender, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or
other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or other Recipient in accordance with Section 5.01(c), the Borrowers will pay to such Lender or other
Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. 

(b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any lending office of such Lender or
such Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as


  
 50 













 
a consequence of this Agreement the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved
but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time upon request of such Lender in accordance with
Section 5.01(c), the Borrowers will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. 

(c) Certificates. A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding
company, as the case may be, as specified in Section 5.01(a) or (b) together with reasonable supporting documentation shall be delivered to the Borrowers and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The
Borrowers shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof. 
 (d)
Effect of Failure or Delay in Requesting Compensation. Failure or delay on the part of any Lenders to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 5.01 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to
demand such compensation; provided, that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 5.01 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 180 days prior to
the date that such Lender notifies the Borrowers of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further, that, if the Change in Law giving
rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. 

Section 5.02 Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than on
the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan into an ABR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, or (c) the
failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurodollar Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto, then, in any such event, the Borrowers shall compensate each Lender requesting a reimbursement for the loss, cost and
expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would
have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period
therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the
interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurodollar market. 

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

  
 51 













 Section 5.03 Taxes. 

(a) For purposes of this Section 5.03, the term “applicable law” includes FATCA. 

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

(c) Payment of Other Taxes. Without duplication of Section 5.03(b) (Payments Free of Taxes), the Borrowers
shall, and shall cause the other Loan Parties to, pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes. 

(d) Indemnification. Without duplication of any obligation under Section 5.03(b) (Payments Free of Taxes) and
Section 5.03(c) (Payment of Other Taxes), the Borrowers shall, and shall cause the other Loan Parties to, jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within ten (10) days after written demand therefor, for the full
amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 5.03) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a
payment to such Recipient and any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or
legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate of the Recipient as to the amount of such payment or liability under this Section 5.03 shall be delivered to the Borrowers and shall be
conclusive absent manifest error. 
 (e) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative
Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and
without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 12.04(c) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register
and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or
not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest
error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source
against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (e). 

  
 52 













 (f) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any
Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 5.03, such Loan Party shall (or the Borrowers shall cause such Loan Party to) deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt
issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing any payment of Indemnified Taxes by such Loan Party to a Governmental Authority, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent. 
 (g) Status of Lenders. 

(i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any
Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the
Borrowers or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such
other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding
or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in
Section 5.03(g)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material
unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. 
 (ii) Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing: 
 (A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrowers and the
Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax; 
 (B)
any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender
becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable: 

  
 53 













 (1) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax
treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other
applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other
income” article of such tax treaty; 
 (2) executed originals of IRS Form
W-8ECI; 
 (3) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the
exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a
“bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrowers within the meaning of Section 881(c) (3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation”
described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable; or 
 (4) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the
beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-2 or
Exhibit H-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided, that if the Foreign
Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of
Exhibit H-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner. 

(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative
Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrowers or the
Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be
prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and 

  
 54 













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

(iii) The Administrative Agent (and any assignee or successor) will deliver, to the Borrowers, on or prior to the Effective
Date (or, assignment or succession, if applicable), either (i) (A) two (2) executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI or any successor thereto with respect to any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent for
its own account and (B) two (2) duly completed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY (certifying that it is either a “qualified intermediary” or a “U.S. branch”) , accompanied by IRS Form W-8 ECI, W-8BEN (or Form W-8BEN-E if applicable), a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate
substantially in the form of Exhibit H-2 or Exhibit H-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents for the amounts the
Administrative Agent receives for the account of others, or (ii) two (2) executed copies of IRS Form W-9 or any successor thereto, whichever is applicable, and in each case of (i) and (ii), with the
effect that the Borrowers can make payments to the Administrative Agent without deduction or withholding of any taxes imposed by the United States. 

Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any
respect, it shall update such form or certification (or a successor form thereto) upon the reasonable request of the Borrowers. 
 (h)
Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this
Section 5.03 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 5.03), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of
indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Indemnified Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of
such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party
the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund


  
 55 













 
to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party
pursuant to this paragraph (h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification
payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be
construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person. 

(i) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 5.03 shall survive the resignation or
replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document. 

Section 5.04 Mitigation Obligations. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 5.01, or if the
Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 5.03, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different
lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would
eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 5.01 or Section 5.03, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and
would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. 

Section 5.05 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event that it becomes unlawful for any
Lender or its applicable lending office to honor its obligation to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans either generally or having a particular Interest Period hereunder, then (a) such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrowers and the
Administrative Agent thereof and such Lender’s obligation to make such Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended (the “Affected Loans”) until such time as such Lender may again make and maintain such Eurodollar Loans and (b) all
Affected Loans which would otherwise be made by such Lender shall be made instead as ABR Loans (and, if such Lender so requests by notice to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, all Affected Loans of such Lender then outstanding shall be
automatically converted into ABR Loans on the date specified by such Lender in such notice) and, to the extent that Affected Loans are so made as (or converted into) ABR Loans, all payments of principal which would otherwise be applied to such
Lender’s Affected Loans shall be applied instead to its ABR Loans.

Property and all agreements and other instruments binding upon it or its Property (other than, in the case of a Debtor, any Prepetition Indebtedness permitted under the Loan Documents), except where the failure to do so, individually or in the
aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, and possesses all licenses, permits, franchises, exemptions, approvals and other governmental authorizations necessary for the ownership of its Property and the
conduct of its business, except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

 64 













 (b) No Loan Party nor any Subsidiary of any Loan Party nor, to the knowledge of the Parent

(d) The Parent Borrower has implemented and maintains in effect policies and procedures designed to promote and achieve compliance by the
Parent Borrower and its Subsidiaries and their respective directors, officers, agents and employees with Sanctions and Anti-Terrorism Laws in all respects. 

Section 7.10 Taxes. Subject to Bankruptcy Law, the terms of the applicable Orders and any required approval by the Bankruptcy
Court, each of the Parent Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries has timely filed (including any available extension) or caused to be filed all Tax returns and reports required to have been filed and has paid or caused to be paid all Taxes
required to have been paid by it, except (a) Taxes that are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which the Parent Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable, has set aside on its books adequate accruals in

Parent Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries in respect of Taxes and other governmental charges are, in the reasonable opinion of the Parent Borrower, adequate.

 (c) No act, omission or transaction has occurred which could result in imposition on the Parent Borrower,

and Section 412 of the Code), which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, exists with respect to any Benefit Plan. The actuarial present value of the benefit liabilities under each Benefit Plan which is subject to
Title IV of ERISA does not, as of the end of the Parent Borrower’s most recently ended fiscal year, exceed the current value of the assets (computed on a plan termination basis in accordance with Title IV of ERISA) of such Benefit Plan
allocable to such benefit liabilities by a material amount, and the sum of such excesses for all such Benefit Plans is not material. The term “actuarial present value of the benefit liabilities” shall have the meaning specified in

contributes to an employee welfare benefit plan, as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA, including, without limitation, any such plan maintained to provide benefits to former employees of such entities, that may not be terminated by the Parent
Borrower, any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or any ERISA Affiliate in its sole discretion at any time without any material liability. 
 (g)
None of the Parent Borrower, its Restricted Subsidiaries or any ERISA Affiliate is required to contribute to, or has any other absolute or contingent liability in respect of, any Multiemployer Plan that, when taken together with all other such

Section 7.12 Disclosure; No Material Misstatements. None of the written reports, financial statements, certificates or other
written information (other than the Projections, as defined below, other forward-looking information and information of a general economic or industry specific nature) furnished or otherwise made available by
or on behalf of the Borrowers or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Parent Borrower to the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in connection with the negotiation or performance of this Agreement or any other Loan Document (as modified or
supplemented by other information so furnished or made available) when considered as a whole contains any material misstatement of fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not materially misleading as of the date such information is furnished or made available. All financial projections concerning the Parent Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries, that have been furnished or otherwise
made available by or on behalf of the Parent Borrower to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or any of their respective Affiliates in connection with the negotiation or performance of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, including the
projections set forth in any Budget (the “Projections”), have been prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed by the Parent Borrower to be reasonable at the time made available to such Persons, it being understood that
actual results may vary materially from the Projections. For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood that the Administrative Agent shall have no duty to examine or investigate any written reports, financial statements, certificates or other written
information delivered by the Parent Borrower pursuant to this Article VII.

as the case may be, have been named in a manner such that they are afforded the stature of additional insureds in respect of such liability insurance policies and the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, has been named
as loss payee with respect to Vessel Collateral loss insurance.

trustee/mortgagee, a legal, valid, and enforceable first preferred mortgage lien over the whole of the Vessel Collateral therein named and when duly recorded shall constitute a perfected first “preferred mortgage” within the meaning of
Section 31301(6)(B) of Title 46 of the United States Code, entitled to the benefits accorded a first preferred mortgage on a vessel registered under the laws and flag of the United States, subject only to Permitted Maritime Liens.

agree, authorize or consent to or enter into any settlement, resolution or compromise of any material litigation, material arbitration or other material dispute with any Person without the prior written consent of the Required Lenders.

omissions in the Security Instruments, or more fully state the security obligations set out herein or in any of the Security Instruments, or to perfect, protect or preserve any Liens created pursuant to any of the Security Instruments, or to make
any recordings, to file any notices, or obtain any consents, or take any other actions required or as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. It is understood that any requests

with the following standards) as are customarily carried under similar circumstances by such other Persons, and, with respect to the Vessel Collateral, as required to be maintained under the terms of the Maritime Mortgages, and the Loan Parties
shall cause (within the time period required herein, as may be extended by the Required Lenders in their reasonable discretion): (i) the Collateral Agent to be named as loss payee, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, as to the Vessel
Collateral, including, as trustee/mortgagee, in accordance with the Maritime Mortgages and the Assignment of Insurances; (ii) the Collateral Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties, to be named as an additional insured, with a waiver of rights
of subrogation, under any marine and war-risk insurance policy and any protection and indemnity policy; (iii) to the extent applicable, each entry in a protection and indemnity club with respect to Vessel
Collateral to note the interest of the Collateral Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties; (iv) the Collateral Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties, to be named as an additional insured, with a waiver of rights of subrogation, under the
comprehensive general liability insurance and (v) the Collateral Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties, to be named as an alternate employer, with a waiver of rights of subrogation, under the statutory workers’ compensation insurance and

non-compliance will take such steps necessary under the terms of such insurance to come into compliance. Each Loan Party that owns Vessel Collateral shall assign to the Collateral Agent, including as
trustee/mortgagee, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, pursuant to an Assignment of Insurances, all of such Loan Party’s right, title, and interest in and to each policy and contract of insurance, and under all entries in any protection and
indemnity or war risks association or club, relating to the Vessel Collateral that it owns. The Loan Parties agree that mortgagee’s interest insurance and mortgagee’s interest additional perils (pollution) insurance risks covering the
Vessel Collateral may be placed directly by the Collateral Agent, including as trustee/mortgagee, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, at the cost of the Loan Parties, who will reimburse the Collateral Agent for the cost thereof; provided,
however, that the Collateral Agent shall only have the right to place such insurance if the Loan Parties fail to do so within forty-five (45) days following the Effective Date. Upon the reasonable request of the Administrative Agent, the
Loan Parties agree (A) to provide, or cause to be provided, to the Administrative Agent originals or certified copies of such policies of insurance or certificates with respect thereto and (B) to provide, or cause to be provided, to the
Administrative Agent reports on each existing policy of insurance with respect to the Vessel Collateral showing such information as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, including without limitation the following: (1) the name of the

 74

within fifteen (15) days of any Event of Loss involving Vessel Collateral, whether or not such Event of Loss is covered by insurance. The Borrowers further agree to promptly notify their insurance company and to submit an appropriate claim and
proof of claim to the insurance company in respect of any Event of Loss. As to the Vessel Collateral, the Borrowers and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably appoint the Collateral Agent as their agent and attorney-in-fact, each such agency being coupled with an interest, to make, settle and adjust claims under such policy or policies of insurance (regardless of whether a settlement or adjustment of a claim is
an Event of Default) and to endorse the name of the Borrowers and the Guarantors on any check or other item of payment for the proceeds thereof; provided, however, that the Collateral Agent agrees that it will not exercise any rights under
the power of attorney provided in this Section 8.08(c) unless one or more Events of Default exist under this Agreement. 

Section 8.09 Accounts and Records. The Borrowers and the Guarantors will keep books of record and accounts in which true and
correct entries will be made as to all material matters of all dealings or transactions in relation to the respective business and activities, sufficient to permit reporting in accordance with GAAP, consistently applied. 

Section 8.10 Right of Inspection. The Borrowers and the Guarantors will permit any officer, employee or agent of the Collateral
Agent (acting upon written direction from the Required Lenders) or any Lender to visit and inspect the Real Property Interests and the Vessel Collateral subject to applicable safety rules and procedures, at such reasonable times and on reasonable
notice and without hindrance or delay and as often as the Administrative Agent (acting upon the written direction from the Required Lenders) may reasonably desire. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except following an Event of Default that has occurred
and is continuing, the Collateral Agent (acting upon written direction from the Required Lenders) shall not visit or inspect the Real Property Interests and the Vessel Collateral more frequently than twice a year, individually or as a group, and
then at their own expense, except that the Borrowers will be responsible for such expense following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default; provided, that any such visits or inspections shall occur when the
applicable Vessel is shoreside at a location involved in the ordinary course of providing its services under its then applicable charter or other vessel service contract. 

Section 8.11 Maintenance of Properties. 

(a) The Borrowers and the Guarantors shall maintain and preserve all of their respective Properties (and any Property leased by or consigned to
any of them or held under title retention or conditional sales contracts) other than Vessels (which for the avoidance of doubt are covered by the next sentence) that are used or useful in the conduct of their respective business in the ordinary
course in good working order and condition at all times, ordinary wear and tear excepted, and make all repairs, replacements, additions, betterments and improvements to such Properties (other than Vessels) to the extent necessary so that any failure
will not reasonably be 

  
 75 













 
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Except during any period that a Vessel is undergoing repairs or maintenance or is a Stacked Vessel, the Borrowers and the Guarantors shall: (i) at
all times maintain and preserve, or cause to be maintained and preserved, each Vessel in good running order and repair, so that such Vessel shall be, insofar as due diligence can make it so, tight, staunch, and sufficiently tackled, equipped and
seaworthy and in good condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted, and fit for its intended service, and make all needful and proper repairs, renewals, betterments and improvements necessary to keep such Vessel well maintained and in seaworthy
condition, to the extent necessary so that any failure will not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; (ii) at all times maintain each Vessel in class with the American Bureau of Shipping or another classification society
that is a member of the International Association of Classification Societies and promptly take steps to remove or remedy or satisfy any exception, condition or recommendation of the Vessel’s classification society affecting class, to the
extent necessary so that any failure will not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; (iii) have on board each Vessel, when required by applicable Governmental Requirements, valid certificates required thereby to the extent
necessary so that any failure will not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; (iv) furnish annually to the Collateral Agent a copy of any certificate of class that has been updated for any Vessel since the Effective Date; and
(v) furnish annually upon request by the Collateral Agent, a confirmation of class certificate from the American Bureau of Shipping or another classification society that is a member of the International Association of Classification Societies
showing that such classification has been maintained. 
 (b) (i) Each Loan Party that owns or operates, or will own or operate, Vessel
Collateral will not transfer or change the flag or documentation or registration of such Vessel Collateral without: (x) except for reflagging transactions described on Schedule 8.11(b), the prior written consent of the Required Lenders
requested no fewer than ten (10) Business Days (or such shorter period as the Required Lenders shall agree in their sole discretion) before the requested date of such transfer or change; and (y) to the extent so approved by the Required
Lenders, promptly (and in the case of transferring or changing the flag or registration to a foreign jurisdiction (other than Liberia, the Marshall Islands, Panama or Vanuatu, which shall be done promptly) or to ownership by a foreign Subsidiary,
within sixty (60) days) satisfying all applicable Vessel Collateral Requirements for such Vessel Collateral and executing and delivering (or causing to be executed and delivered) all such additional documents, agreements or other instruments
and/or taking (or causing to be taken) all such actions (including the making of any recordings or filings) as are deemed necessary or desirable by the Collateral Agent to perfect, protect and preserve the security interest in favor of the
Collateral Agent or trustee/mortgagee (acting on behalf of the Collateral Agent), as the case may be, for the benefit of the Secured Parties in such Vessel Collateral granted pursuant to the applicable Maritime Mortgage (or, if a Maritime Mortgage
may not be granted, to provide an alternative security interest or other collateral reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Agent and the Required Lenders (in or with respect to such Vessel Collateral under the laws of the applicable foreign-flag
jurisdiction in which such Vessel Collateral is being registered); it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the foregoing, in order for such alternative security interest to be reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Agent and the
Required Lenders, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders shall have received an opinion of counsel in the appropriate jurisdiction in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent and the Required Lenders (as to the creation,
validity and perfection of such alternative security interest). 

  
 76 













 (ii) Notwithstanding anything in the Loan Documents to the contrary, in the event of a
change of the flag or documentation or registration of Vessel Collateral permitted under this Section 8.11(b), the Investment made in connection with such a transaction may be structured as a Foreign Vessel Reflagging
Transaction. A “Foreign Vessel Reflagging Transaction” is defined as one or more Investments by the Parent Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary of cash in one or more Subsidiaries, the proceeds of which will be used by a Restricted
Subsidiary to purchase Vessel Collateral from a Loan Party, the net effect of which is that (x) the Vessel Collateral subject to such Foreign Vessel Reflagging Transaction shall continue to be Vessel Collateral (and the requirements under
Section 8.11(b)(i) shall apply to such Vessel Collateral and Foreign Vessel Reflagging Transaction) and (y) such cash is substantially contemporaneously returned to the Parent Borrower or the Restricted Subsidiary
making the initial Investment, in each case, in order to facilitate a change to the flag or documentation or registration of any Vessel Collateral (so long as such Investments constitute Permitted Investments or Investments not restricted by
Section 9.01). After giving full effect to any Foreign Vessel Reflagging Transaction where the cash-transfer transaction steps occur substantially simultaneously, a receipt by any
Subsidiary of such cash and the existence of any intercompany loan receivable created by the further loaning of such funds by such Subsidiary to another Subsidiary shall not in itself trigger a requirement to provide additional Collateral or to
enter into any additional Loan Documents. 
 Section 8.12 Notice of Certain Events. (a) The Parent Borrower shall promptly
notify the Administrative Agent in writing if the Parent Borrower learns of the occurrence of: 
 (A) any event which
constitutes a Default, together with a detailed statement by a Responsible Officer of the Parent Borrower as to the nature of the Default and the steps being taken to cure the effect of such Default; 

(B) any action, suit, investigation or proceeding by or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority pending against or, to
the knowledge of the Parent Borrower, threatened against or affecting the Parent Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or any of their Properties (i) as to which there is a reasonable possibility of an adverse determination that could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) that involves any Loan Document or the Transactions; or 

(C) any development that has resulted in, or could reasonably be expected to result in, a Material Adverse Effect. 

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

  
 77 













 Section 8.13 ERISA Information and Compliance. The Parent Borrower will furnish
to the Administrative Agent (i) as soon as is administratively practicable following a request from the Required Lenders copies of each annual or other report filed with the United States Secretary of Labor or the PBGC, copies of each annual
and other report with respect to any Benefit Plan sponsored or maintained by the Parent Borrower, any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, or any ERISA Affiliate and (ii) as soon as is administratively practicable upon becoming aware of the
occurrence of any (A) ERISA Event or (B) “prohibited transaction,” as such term is defined in Section 4975 of the Code, in connection with any Benefit Plan sponsored or maintained by the Parent Borrower, any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries or any ERISA Affiliate that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, a written notice signed by a Responsible Officer of the Parent Borrower specifying the nature thereof, what action the Parent Borrower is taking
or proposes to take with respect thereto, and, when known, any action taken by the Internal Revenue Service with respect thereto. The Parent Borrower will comply with all of the applicable funding and other requirements of ERISA as such requirements
relate to the Benefit Plans of the Parent Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries. 
 Section 8.14 Security. 

(a) The Indebtedness shall be secured by the following: 

(i) (x) the “DIP Collateral” (as defined in the Orders), (y) the Vessels listed on
Schedule 8.14, any Vessels (if any) described in Section 8.14(a)(iii), and any Real Property Interests, and (z) any Property and rights of the Loan Parties described in the Guaranty and
Collateral Agreement or any other Security Instrument and excepting, as provided in the Guaranty and Collateral Agreement, Excluded Assets (or the equivalent term under any other Security Instrument), unless such Collateral has been released in
accordance with Section 11.11 in connection with transactions permitted under the Loan Documents, which, to the maximum extent permitted by law, shall be perfected pursuant to the Orders (subject to any exceptions or
limitations contained therein or herein) and, in all other cases, shall be subject to the time periods for perfection as provided herein, in the Orders or in the Guaranty and Collateral Agreement; 

(ii) not later than thirty (30) days (or such longer period as the Required Lenders shall agree in their reasonable
discretion) following the formation or acquisition of any Restricted Subsidiary of the Parent Borrower which results in Parent Borrower having (x) Domestic Subsidiaries (other than the Co-Borrower and the
then existing Guarantors that are Domestic Subsidiaries) with assets of $5,000,000 or more in the aggregate or (y) Foreign Subsidiaries (other than the then existing Guarantors that are Foreign Subsidiaries) with assets of $20,000,000 or more
in the aggregate, then such Restricted Subsidiary or Restricted Subsidiaries (other than Excluded Subsidiaries) as are satisfactory to the Required Lenders (such that, as applicable, (x) such Restricted Subsidiaries that are Domestic
Subsidiaries not guarantying the Indebtedness have assets of less than $5,000,000 in the aggregate or (y) such Restricted Subsidiaries that are Foreign Subsidiaries not guarantying the Indebtedness have assets of less than $20,000,000 in the
aggregate) shall (x) guaranty the payment and performance of the Indebtedness by executing and delivering in favor of the Agents, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, a joinder to the Guaranty and Collateral Agreement or a guaranty
agreement comparable to the Guaranty and Collateral Agreement but in form and substance satisfactory to the Agents and the Required Lenders and (y) secure such guaranty by executing and delivering in favor of the Agents, for the ratable benefit
of the Secured 

  
 78 













 
Parties, (A) a joinder to the Guaranty and Collateral Agreement or a personal property agreement comparable to the Guaranty and Collateral Agreement but in form and substance reasonably

flags and sixty (60) days for a Vessel registered under any other foreign flag, following the acquisition) (including by way of construction) by the Parent Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of any Vessel or Vessels, (x) the

registered, subject only to Permitted Maritime Liens, (ii) grant first priority security interests (or the foreign equivalent) in all Property owned by such Restricted Subsidiary relating to such Vessel, subject to Permitted Liens, and
(iii) otherwise comply with the applicable Vessel Collateral Requirements (including the entry into an Assignment of Insurances) with respect to such Vessel (unless waived by the Collateral Agent acting at the direction of the Required Lenders)
(it being understood that such Liens shall be in addition to those granted on Vessels and related Property pursuant to the Orders); provided, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 8.14(a)(ii), if
the Restricted Subsidiary that has acquired any such Vessel that is required to become Collateral is not already a Guarantor, such Restricted Subsidiary of the Parent Borrower shall become a Guarantor; and 

(iv) within sixty (60) days (or such longer period as the Administrative Agent may agree) following the acquisition by the
Parent Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of any Property that is not a Vessel, (x) notwithstanding that the Lien on and security interest in such Property automatically attaches to such property upon the acquisition thereof
pursuant to the Orders and the Loan Documents with the priority of perfection required thereunder, upon the reasonable request of the Collateral Agent, the Parent Borrower shall execute and deliver, or cause its applicable Restricted Subsidiary to
execute and deliver, to the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent all such further documents, agreements and instruments (including without limitation further security agreements, Mortgages (together with, if requested, a lender’s
title insurance policy, survey and other documents reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent), financing statements, continuation statements, and assignments of accounts and contract rights) necessary or desirable to cause such Property to be

(or by the terms of any agreement governing such Debt) made expressly subordinate to the Loans or the Loan Guarantee of such Guarantor, as the case may be, to the same extent and in the same manner as such Debt is subordinated pursuant to
subordination provisions that are most favorable to the holders of any other Debt of the Parent Borrower, the Co-Borrower or of such Guarantor, as the case may be; provided, however, that no Debt shall
be deemed to be contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Debt solely by virtue of being unsecured.

have no duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) no Agent shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has
occurred and is continuing (the use of the term “Administrative Agent”, “Collateral Agent” or “Agent” herein and in the other Loan Documents with reference to the Administrative Agent or the
Collateral Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law; rather, such 

  
 98 













 
term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties), (b) no Agent shall have any
duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except as provided in Section 11.03, and (c) except as expressly set forth herein, no Agent shall have a duty to disclose, and shall not be

knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to a responsible officer of such Agent by the Parent Borrower, the Co-Borrower or a Lender, and shall not be responsible for or have
any duty to ascertain or inquire into:

other Loan Document; 
 (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or under any other Loan Document

For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Article VI, each Lender shall be deemed to have consented to, approved
or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender unless an Agent shall have received written notice from such Lender prior to the
proposed Effective Date specifying its objection thereto. 
 Section 11.03 Action by Agents. Each Agent shall have no

the written instructions (with indemnities satisfactory to it) described in this Section 11.03; provided, that unless and until such Agent shall have received such directions, such Agent may (but shall not be
obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default as it shall deem advisable in the interests of the Lenders. In no event, however, shall an Agent be required to take any action which exposes such Agent

be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in
Section 12.02), and otherwise such Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it hereunder or under any other Loan Document or under any other document or instrument referred to or provided for herein or

for the Borrowers), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. Each Agent may deem and treat
the payee of any Note as the holder thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until a written notice of the assignment or transfer thereof permitted hereunder shall have been filed with such Agent. 

Section 11.05 Sub-Agents. Each Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its
rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-Agents appointed by such Agent. Each Agent and any such sub-Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its
rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding Sections of this Article XI shall apply to any such sub-Agent and to the Related Parties of such Agent

Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrowers, to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the
retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation or removal of the retiring Agent, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and at the expense of the Borrowers, appoint a successor Agent, or an Affiliate of any such Lender as approved by
the Required Lenders or if no such successor shall be appointed by the retiring Agent as aforesaid, the Required Lenders shall thereafter perform all of the duties of the retiring Agent hereunder (and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its
duties and obligations hereunder) until such appointment by the Required Lenders is made and accepted. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights,
powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor
unless otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and such successor. After an Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article XI and Section 12.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring
Agent, its sub-Agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Agent. The institution acting as Collateral Agent shall
always also act as trustee/mortgagee under the Maritime Mortgages and Real Property Interests Mortgages. 
 Section 11.07 Agents

other Loan Document to which it is a party. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate,
continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. No Agent shall be required to keep itself
informed as to the performance or observance by the Parent Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of this Agreement, the Loan Documents or any other document referred to or provided for herein or to inspect the Property or books of the Parent Borrower
or its Subsidiaries. Except for notices, reports and other documents 

  
 101

concerning the affairs, financial condition or business of the Borrowers (or any of their Affiliates) which may come into the possession of such Agent or any of its Affiliates. Each party hereto will consult with its own legal counsel to the extent
that it deems necessary in connection with the Loan Documents and the matters contemplated therein. 
 Section 11.10 Agents May File
Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to the Borrowers, the Guarantors or any of their
Subsidiaries, each Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether an Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrowers or the
Guarantors) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise: 
 (a) to file a
proof-of-claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Indebtedness that are owing and unpaid and to
file such other documents as may be necessary and directed by the Required Lenders in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Agents (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders
and the Agents and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Agents under Section 12.03) allowed in such judicial proceeding; 

(b) to collect and receive any monies or other Property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and

compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Agents and their agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Agents under Section 12.03. 

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize any Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan
of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Indebtedness or the rights of any Lender or to authorize any Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding. 

Section 11.11 Authority of the Agents to Release Collateral, Liens and Guarantors. Each Lender hereby authorizes the
Collateral Agent to release any Collateral that is permitted to be sold or released and to release any Guarantor pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to execute and deliver to the Borrowers,
at the Borrowers’ sole cost and expense, any and all releases of Liens, termination statements, assignments or other documents reasonably requested by the Borrowers in connection with any sale or other disposition of Property to the extent such
sale or other disposition is authorized by the terms of the Loan Documents and complies with Section 9.14 of the Guaranty and Collateral Agreement, as evidenced in an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Collateral Agent.


  
 102 













 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that the Liens on any Collateral securing the Indebtedness shall not be released (x) upon a sale, transfer or other disposition of
such Collateral to any Person that is, or that is required to be, in each case at the time of such sale, transfer or other disposition, a Loan Party (but disregarding the grace period provided for in Section 8.14(a)(ii)) or
(y) if such Collateral is Vessel Collateral, if the transferee is a Restricted Subsidiary of the Parent Borrower; provided, however, that in connection with a Foreign Vessel Reflagging Transaction included on Schedule 8.11(b) and
which otherwise is permitted under this Agreement, if the Person to whom such Collateral is being transferred grants a new Lien on such Collateral in favor of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties that is comparable, in the
good faith determination of the Required Lenders, in scope, validity and perfection to the existing Lien, then the Collateral Agent shall release such Collateral. Upon the request of the Borrowers, in connection with any transaction otherwise
permitted hereunder, the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent is authorized to release Collateral that is disposed of (other than to a Person that is, or that is required to be, in each case at the time of such sale, transfer or other
disposition, a Loan Party (but disregarding the grace period provided for in Section 8.14(a)(ii)) or whose owner ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary of the Parent Borrower) and any Guarantor that ceases to be a Restricted
Subsidiary of the Parent Borrower or otherwise ceases to be required to be a Guarantor under the Loan Documents. 
 Section 11.12

of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding. 
 Section 11.13 Loan Parties’
Advisors. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, none of the Loan Parties’ financial advisors or investment bankers shall have any powers, rights, duties, responsibilities or liabilities with respect
to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the applicable Lender. Notices and other communications to the Borrowers may be delivered or furnished by electronic communications; provided, that unless receipt of such electronic
communication is acknowledged by the Borrowers, such communication is followed by telephonic and hard copy communication as well. The Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by

Section 12.02 Waivers; Amendments. 

(a) No failure on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to exercise and no delay in exercising, and no course of dealing with
respect to, any right, power or privilege, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right, power or privilege, under any of the Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any
right, power or privilege under any of the Loan Documents preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder and under
the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by the Parent Borrower, the Co-Borrower or any other Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by Section 12.02(b), and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only
in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent or any other
Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time. 
 (b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof nor any Security
Instrument nor any provision thereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrowers and the Required Lenders or by the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent with the consent
of the Required Lenders; provided, that no such agreement shall 
 (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without
the written consent of such Lender, 
 (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or reduce the rate of interest thereon,
or reduce any fees payable hereunder, or reduce any other Indebtedness hereunder or under any other Loan Document, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, 

(iii) postpone the scheduled date of payment or prepayment of the principal amount of any Loan, or any interest thereon, or any
fees payable hereunder, or any other Indebtedness hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone or extend the Maturity Date without the written consent of each Lender affected
thereby, 
 (iv) change Section 4.01(b) or Section 4.01(c) in a manner
that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the written consent of each Lender, 

  
 105 













 (v) release all or substantially all of the collateral or all or
substantially all of the value of the guarantees of the Indebtedness made by the Guarantors without the written consent of each Lender, or 

(vi) change any of the provisions of this Section 12.02(b) or the definition of “Required
Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or under any other Loan Documents or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder or any
other Loan Documents, without the written consent of each Lender, 
 provided, further, that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise
affect the rights or duties of any Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the prior written consent of such Agent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove
any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, except that the Commitment of such Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender. 

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 12.02, the Administrative
Agent may, with the written consent of the Borrowers and the Required Lenders only, amend, modify or supplement this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to correct any clerical errors or cure any ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or
inconsistency so long as such correction is not adverse to the Lenders as certified in an Officer’s Certificate. 
 Section 12.03
Expenses, Indemnity; Damage Waiver. 
 (a) The Borrowers shall pay (i) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred by the Agents and the Lenders and their respective Affiliates, including, without limitation, the reasonable and documented fees,
charges and disbursements of (a) one financial advisor for the Lenders (which, as of the Effective Date, is Ducera Partners LLC) and (b) counsel for the Agents and the Lenders (limited to Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, Blank Rome LLP,
Creel, García-Cuéllar, Aiza y Enriquez, S.C., Pinheiro Neto Advogados, Porter Hedges LLP, Thompson Hine LLP, Ducera Partners LLC and special and local counsel to the Lenders in all applicable
jurisdictions retained by the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders, taken as a whole) and special counsel for each relevant specialty (which, as of the Effective Date in the case of U.S.
maritime law, is Blank Rome LLP) (and, in the case of an actual conflict of interest, where the party affected by such conflict, informs the Borrowers of such conflict and thereafter retains its own counsel, of another firm of counsel for each such
affected person), (ii) all reasonable and documented travel, photocopy, mailing, courier, telephone and other similar expenses, in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration (both before and after the
execution hereof and including advice of counsel to the Agents and/or the Lenders as to the rights and duties of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect thereto) of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any amendments,
modifications or waivers of or consents related to the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (iii) all costs, expenses, Taxes, assessments, paralegal services, notary
fees, language translation fees and other charges incurred by any Agent or any Lender in connection with any filing, registration, recording or perfection of any security interest contemplated by this Agreement or any Security Instrument or any
other document referred to 

  
 106 













 
therein, and (iv) all out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred by any Agent or any Lender, including the fees,
charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Agent or any Lender (but limited to one primary counsel for each of (x) the Agents and their respective Affiliates, collectively and (y) the Lenders and their respective Affiliates,
collectively, and in each case, if necessary, one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction (which may include a single special counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions) and special counsel for each relevant specialty (and, in the case of an
actual conflict of interest, where the party affected by such conflict, informs the Borrowers of such conflict and thereafter retains its own counsel, of another firm of counsel for each such affected person)), in connection with the enforcement or
protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, including its rights under this Section 12.03, and including, without limitation, all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout or restructuring in respect of such Loans. 
 (b)
THE BORROWERS SHALL, AND SHALL CAUSE THE OTHER LOAN PARTIES TO, JOINT AND SEVERALLY INDEMNIFY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH LENDER, AND EACH RELATED PARTY OF ANY OF THE FOREGOING PERSONS (EACH SUCH PERSON BEING CALLED AN
“INDEMNITEE”) AGAINST, AND HOLD EACH INDEMNITEE HARMLESS FROM, ANY AND ALL LOSSES, CLAIMS, DAMAGES, LIABILITIES, FEES AND RELATED EXPENSES, INCLUDING THE FEES, CHARGES AND DISBURSEMENTS OF ANY COUNSEL FOR ANY INDEMNITEE, INCURRED BY
OR ASSERTED AGAINST ANY INDEMNITEE ARISING OUT OF, IN CONNECTION WITH, OR AS A RESULT OF (i) THE EXECUTION OR DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR ANY AGREEMENT OR INSTRUMENT CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY, THE PERFORMANCE
BY THE PARTIES HERETO OR THE PARTIES TO ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OF THEIR RESPECTIVE OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER OR THE CONSUMMATION OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR BY ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, (ii) THE FAILURE OF THE PARENT
BORROWER OR ANY SUBSIDIARY TO COMPLY WITH THE TERMS OF ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, INCLUDING THIS AGREEMENT, OR WITH ANY GOVERNMENTAL REQUIREMENT, (iii) ANY INACCURACY OF ANY REPRESENTATION OR ANY BREACH OF ANY WARRANTY OR COVENANT OF ANY LOAN PARTY SET
FORTH IN ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY INSTRUMENTS, DOCUMENTS OR CERTIFICATIONS DELIVERED IN CONNECTION THEREWITH, (iv) ANY LOAN OR THE USE OF THE PROCEEDS THEREFROM, (v) ANY OTHER ASPECT OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, (vi) THE OPERATIONS
OF THE BUSINESS OF THE PARENT BORROWER AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES BY THE PARENT BORROWER AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES, (vii) ANY ASSERTION THAT THE LENDERS WERE NOT ENTITLED TO RECEIVE THE PROCEEDS RECEIVED PURSUANT TO THE SECURITY INSTRUMENTS,
(viii) ANY ENVIRONMENTAL LIABILITY RELATING TO THE PARENT BORROWER OR ANY SUBSIDIARY OR ANY OF THEIR PROPERTIES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE PRESENCE, GENERATION, STORAGE, RELEASE, THREATENED RELEASE, USE, TRANSPORT, DISPOSAL, ARRANGEMENT
OF DISPOSAL OR TREATMENT OF OIL, OIL AND GAS WASTES, SOLID WASTES OR HAZARDOUS MATERIALS ON ANY OF THEIR PROPERTIES, (ix) THE BREACH OR NON-COMPLIANCE BY THE PARENT BORROWER OR ANY SUBSIDIARY WITH ANY
ENVIRONMENTAL LAW APPLICABLE TO THE PARENT BORROWER OR ANY SUBSIDIARY, (x) THE PAST OWNERSHIP BY THE 

  
 107 













 
PARENT BORROWER OR ANY SUBSIDIARY OF ANY OF THEIR PROPERTIES OR PAST ACTIVITY ON ANY OF THEIR PROPERTIES WHICH, THOUGH LAWFUL AND FULLY PERMISSIBLE AT THE TIME, COULD RESULT IN PRESENT LIABILITY,
(xi) THE PRESENCE, USE, RELEASE, STORAGE, TREATMENT, DISPOSAL, GENERATION, THREATENED RELEASE, TRANSPORT, ARRANGEMENT FOR TRANSPORT OR ARRANGEMENT FOR DISPOSAL OF OIL, OIL AND GAS WASTES, SOLID WASTES OR HAZARDOUS MATERIALS ON OR AT ANY OF THE
PROPERTIES OWNED OR OPERATED BY THE PARENT BORROWER OR ANY SUBSIDIARY OR ANY ACTUAL OR ALLEGED PRESENCE OR RELEASE OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS ON OR FROM ANY PROPERTY OWNED OR OPERATED BY THE PARENT BORROWER OR ANY SUBSIDIARY, (xii) ANY
ENVIRONMENTAL LIABILITY RELATED IN ANY WAY TO THE PARENT BORROWER OR ANY SUBSIDIARY, (xiii) ANY OTHER ENVIRONMENTAL, HEALTH OR SAFETY CONDITION IN CONNECTION WITH THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR (xiv) ANY ACTUAL OR PROSPECTIVE CLAIM, LITIGATION,
INVESTIGATION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO ANY OF THE FOREGOING, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER ANY INDEMNITEE IS A PARTY THERETO, AND SUCH INDEMNITY SHALL EXTEND TO EACH INDEMNITEE NOTWITHSTANDING THE
SOLE OR CONCURRENT NEGLIGENCE OF EVERY KIND OR CHARACTER WHATSOEVER, WHETHER ACTIVE OR PASSIVE, WHETHER AN AFFIRMATIVE ACT OR AN OMISSION, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ALL TYPES OF NEGLIGENT CONDUCT IDENTIFIED IN THE RESTATEMENT (SECOND) OF TORTS
OF ONE OR MORE OF THE INDEMNITEES OR BY REASON OF STRICT LIABILITY IMPOSED WITHOUT FAULT ON ANY ONE OR MORE OF THE INDEMNITEES; PROVIDED, THAT ANY OF THE ABOVE INDEMNITIES (EXCEPT FOR ANY INDEMNITIES REGARDING ENVIRONMENTAL LAW) SHALL NOT, AS
TO ANY INDEMNITEE, BE AVAILABLE TO THE EXTENT THAT SUCH LOSSES, CLAIMS, DAMAGES, LIABILITIES OR RELATED EXPENSES ARE DETERMINED BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION BY FINAL AND NONAPPEALABLE JUDGMENT TO HAVE RESULTED FROM (X) THE GROSS
NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF SUCH INDEMNITEE OR (Y) ANY DISPUTE SOLELY AMONG INDEMNITEES (OTHER THAN ANY CLAIMS AGAINST AN INDEMNITEE IN ITS CAPACITY OR IN FULFILLING ITS ROLE AS AN AGENT OR ARRANGER OR ANY SIMILAR ROLE HEREUNDER OR
UNDER ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AND OTHER THAN ANY CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF ANY ACT OR OMISSION OF THE PARENT BORROWER OR ANY OF ITS SUBSIDIARIES). This Section 12.03(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes
that represent losses, claims or damages arising out of any non-Tax claim. 
 (c) To the extent any
Agent is not joint and severally reimbursed and/or indemnified by the Borrowers and/or the other Loan Parties in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the Lenders will reimburse and indemnify such Agent, joint and severally, 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 such Agent in connection
with or arising out of any act or omission of such Agent related to its duties hereunder or under any other Loan Document or the performance thereof or in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document;
provided, that no Lender, Borrower or other Loan Party shall be liable for any of such liabilities, obligations, 

  
 108 













 
losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court
of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision). In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any claim for indemnification hereunder, this
Section 12.03 applies whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Lender or any other Person. 

(d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Loan Party hereto shall assert, and each Loan Party hereto hereby waives, any claim against
each other, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential, incidental or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or
any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the Transactions, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided, that the foregoing shall not limit the Borrower’s, the Lenders’ or the other Loan Parties’
indemnification obligations pursuant to Section 12.03(b) to the extent such damages are included in any such claim that is entitled to such indemnification. 

(e) All amounts due under this Section 12.03 shall be payable not later than ten (10) days after written demand
therefor. This Section 12.03 shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim. 

Section 12.04 Successors and Assigns. 

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and
assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) except as expressly permitted by Section 9.04, no Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each
Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by such Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this
Section 12.04. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants (to the
extent provided in Section 12.04(c)) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by
reason of this Agreement. 
 (b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more
assignees (other than a Disqualified Lender) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments or the Loans at the time owing to it) pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption Agreement
substantially in the form of Exhibit G (an “Assignment”) with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers (in each case, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld);
provided that (x) no such consent of the Borrowers shall be required if an Event of Default under Section 10.01(a) or (b) has occurred and is continuing and (y) no such consent of the Administrative Agent or the Borrowers
shall be required if such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Lender or an Approved Fund. 

  
 109 













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

 (A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund or an assignment of the
entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Loans, the amount of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than
$1,000,000, unless the Administrative Agent otherwise consents; provided, that simultaneous assignments to affiliated funds may be aggregated; 

(B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights
and obligations under this Agreement (provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit any assignment of Loan, separate from Commitments, or any assignment of Commitments, separate from Loans); 

(C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment, together with a
processing and recordation fee of $3,500; provided, that (x) the Administrative Agent may, elect to waive or reduce such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment and (y) simultaneous assignments to affiliated
funds shall be deemed to constitute a single assignment for purposes of the foregoing; 
 (D) the assignee, if it shall not
be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire; and 
 (E) notwithstanding anything
to the contrary herein, no assignments shall be made to (1) a Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, (2) the Parent Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or (3) any Lender if such Lender would request reimbursement
for Indemnified Taxes pursuant to Section 5.03 or cannot comply with the requirements of Section 5.03(g). 

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

  
 110 













 (iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an administrative
agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names, addresses and telecopy number of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount (and
stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent
and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for
inspection by the Borrowers and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 
 (v)
Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire and applicable required tax forms (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder),
the processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 12.04(b) and any written consent to such assignment required by Section 12.04(b), the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and
record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register after meeting the requirements provided in this
Section 12.04(b). The parties hereto agree and intend that the obligations under this Agreement shall be treated as being in “registered form” for the purposes of the Code (including Code Sections 163(f),
871(h)(2) and 8831(c)(2)), and the Register and Participant Register shall be maintained in accordance with such intention. 
 (c) (i) Any
Lender may, without the consent of the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more Lenders or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this
Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided, that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to
the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and
obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or
waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided, that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the proviso to
Section 12.02 that affects such Participant. In addition such agreement must provide that the Participant be bound by the provisions of Section 12.03. Subject to
Section 12.04(c)(ii), the Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 5.01, 5.02 and 5.03 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest
by assignment pursuant to Section 12.04(b). To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 12.08 as though it were a Lender; provided,
such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 4.01(c) as though it were a Lender. 

  
 111 













 (ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment
under Section 5.02 or Section 5.03 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to
such Participant is made with the Borrowers’ prior written consent or to extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. A Participant
shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 5.03 unless such Participant agrees to comply with Section 5.03(g) as though it were a Lender (it being understood that the documentation shall be
delivered to the participating Lender). 
 (iii) Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose
as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in
the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided, that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of
any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to
establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant
Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the
contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. 

(d) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure
obligations of such Lender, including, without limitation, any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section 12.04(d) shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security
interest; provided, that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. 

(e) Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole
right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided, that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the
Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that affects such Participant. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrowers’ request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrowers to
effectuate the provisions of Section 2.06 with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 12.08 as though it were
a Lender; provided, that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 4.01 as though it were a Lender. 

(f) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall any Lender or Participant assign any portion of or sell any
participations in its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any Disqualified Lender. This prohibition shall be included in any documentation effecting an assignment of any interest herein or in any Loans and any attempted assignment in
violation of this provision shall be void ab initio. 

  
 112 













 Section 12.05 Survival; Revival; Reinstatement. 

(a) All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrowers herein and in the certificates or other instruments
delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any
Loans, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time
any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and so long as the Commitments
have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 3.05, 5.01, 5.02, 5.03 and 12.03 and Article XI shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the resignation or removal of any Agent, the expiration or termination of the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any provision hereof or thereof. 

(b) To the extent that any payments on the Indebtedness or proceeds of any Collateral are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent
or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, debtor in possession, receiver or other Person under any Debtor Relief Law, common law or equitable cause, then to such extent, the Indebtedness so satisfied shall be revived and
continue as if such payment or proceeds had not been received and the Administrative Agent’s and the Lenders’ Liens, rights, powers and remedies under this Agreement and each Loan Document shall continue in full force and effect. In such
event, each Loan Document shall be automatically reinstated and the Borrowers shall take such action as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent (as directed by the Required Lenders) to effect such reinstatement. 

Section 12.06 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; Orders Control. 

(a) This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute
an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. The exchange of copies of this Agreement and of signature pages by facsimile or PDF transmission shall constitute effective execution and delivery of this
Agreement as to the parties hereto and may be used in lieu of the original Agreement and signature pages for all purposes. 
 (b) This
Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof and
supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof. 

  
 113 













 (c) Except as provided in Section 6.01, this Agreement shall
become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and
thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy shall be as effective as delivery of a
manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. 
 (d) To the extent that any specific provision hereof is inconsistent with any of the
Orders, the Interim Order or Final Order (as applicable) shall control. 
 Section 12.07 Severability. Any provision of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity,
legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof or thereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. 

Section 12.08 Right of Setoff. Subject to the Orders and the proviso to Section 10.02(a), if an Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits
(general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the
Borrowers or any other Loan Party against any and all of the obligations of the Borrowers or such Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender or their respective Affiliates, irrespective of
whether or not such Lender or Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the Borrowers or such Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch, office or
Affiliate of such Lender different from the branch, office or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of each Lender and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and
remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender agrees to notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided, that the
failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

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

Section 12.11 Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the
Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed. 
 (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers,
employees and Administrative Agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep
such Information confidential), 

  
 115 













 (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority, 

(c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, 

(d) to any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, 

(e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any suit, action or proceeding relating to
this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, 
 (f) subject to an agreement containing
provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 12.11, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or
(ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any Hedging Obligation relating to the Parent Borrower or the Co-Borrower, as applicable, and its obligations, 

(g) with the consent of the Borrowers or 

(h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this
Section 12.11 or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrowers. 

For the purposes of this Section 12.11, “Information” means all information received from the
Parent Borrower or any Subsidiary relating to the Borrowers or any Subsidiary and their businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the
Parent Borrower or a Subsidiary; provided, that in the case of information received from the Parent Borrower or any Subsidiary after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person
required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 12.11 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain
the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. 
 Section 12.12 Interest
Rate Limitation. It is the intention of the parties hereto that each Lender shall conform strictly to usury laws applicable to it. Accordingly, if the transactions contemplated hereby would be usurious as to any Lender under laws applicable to
it (including the laws of the United States of America and the State of New York or any other jurisdiction whose laws may be mandatorily applicable to such Lender notwithstanding the other provisions of this Agreement), then, in that event,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any of the Loan Documents or any agreement entered into in connection with or as security for the Loans, it is agreed as follows: (i) the aggregate of all consideration which constitutes interest
under law applicable to any Lender that is contracted for, taken, reserved, charged or received by such Lender under any of the Loan Documents or agreements or otherwise in connection with the Loans shall under no circumstances exceed the maximum
amount allowed by such applicable law, and any excess shall be canceled automatically and if theretofore paid shall be credited by such Lender on the principal amount of the Indebtedness (or, to the extent that the principal amount of the
Indebtedness shall have been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded by such Lender to the 

  
 116 













 
Borrowers); and (ii) in the event that the maturity of the Loans is accelerated by reason of an election of the holder thereof resulting from any Event of Default under this Agreement or
otherwise, or in the event of any required or permitted prepayment, then such consideration that constitutes interest under law applicable to any Lender may never include more than the maximum amount allowed by such applicable law, and excess
interest, if any, provided for in this Agreement or otherwise shall be canceled automatically by such Lender as of the date of such acceleration or prepayment and, if theretofore paid, shall be credited by such Lender on the principal amount of the
Indebtedness (or, to the extent that the principal amount of the Indebtedness shall have been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded by such Lender to the Borrowers). All sums paid or agreed to be paid to any Lender for the use, forbearance or
detention of sums due hereunder shall, to the extent permitted by law applicable to such Lender, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the stated term of the Loans evidenced by the Notes until payment in full so that the rate or
amount of interest on account of any Loans hereunder does not exceed the maximum amount allowed by such applicable law. If at any time and from time to time (i) the amount of interest payable to any Lender on any date shall be computed at the
Highest Lawful Rate applicable to such Lender pursuant to this Section 12.12 and (ii) in respect of any subsequent interest computation period the amount of interest otherwise payable to such Lender would be less than
the amount of interest payable to such Lender computed at the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to such Lender, then the amount of interest payable to such Lender in respect of such subsequent interest computation period shall continue to be computed
at the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to such Lender until the total amount of interest payable to such Lender shall equal the total amount of interest which would have been payable to such Lender if the total amount of interest had been computed
without giving effect to this Section 12.12. 
 Section 12.13 No Third Party Beneficiaries. This
Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and the agreement of the Lenders to make Loans hereunder are solely for the benefit of the Borrowers, the Guarantors and, unless expressly stated or referred to herein, no other Person (including, without
limitation, any Subsidiary of the Borrowers, any Subsidiary of the Guarantors, any obligor, contractor, subcontractor, supplier or materialsman) shall have any rights, claims, remedies or privileges hereunder or under any other Loan Document against
the Administrative Agent or any Lender for any reason whatsoever. There are no third party beneficiaries other than the Guarantors or as otherwise expressly stated or referred to herein. 

Section 12.14 Electronic Communications. 

(a) The Borrowers hereby agree that, unless otherwise requested by the Administrative Agent, each will provide to the Administrative Agent all
information, documents and other materials that it is obligated to furnish to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, all notices, requests, financial statements, financial and other reports,
certificates and other information materials, but excluding any such communication that (i) relates to a request for a new, or a conversion of an existing, Borrowing or other extension of credit (including any election of an interest rate or
interest period relating thereto), (ii) relates to the payment of any principal or other amount due under this Agreement prior to the scheduled date therefor, (iii) provides notice of any Default or Event of Default under this Agreement,
(iv) is required to be delivered to satisfy any condition precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement and/or any Borrowing or other extension of credit hereunder or (v) initiates or responds to legal process (all such non-excluded information being referred to herein collectively as the

“Communications”) by transmitting the Communications in an electronic/soft medium (provided, such Communications contain any required signatures) in a format acceptable to
the Administrative Agent, to such e-mail address designated by the Administrative Agent from time to time. Each of the Agents and the Lenders hereby agrees that, unless otherwise requested by the Borrowers, to
the extent such Agent or Lender delivers or furnishes any communication hereunder to the Loan Parties by electronic communications, unless receipt of such electronic communication is acknowledged by the Borrowers, such Agent or Lender will provide
such notice or communication by telephone and hard copy communication as well. 
 (b) Each party hereto agrees that the Administrative Agent
may make the Communications available to the Lenders by posting the Communications on IntraLinks or another relevant website, if any, to which each Lender and the Administrative Agent have access (whether a commercial, third-party website or whether
sponsored by the Administrative Agent) (the “Platform”). Nothing in this Section 12.14 shall prejudice the right of the Administrative Agent to make the Communications available to the Lenders in any other
manner specified in the Loan Documents. 
 (c) The Parent Borrower hereby acknowledges that certain of the Lenders may be
“public-side” Lenders (i.e., Lenders that do not wish to receive material nonpublic information with respect to the Borrowers or their securities) (each, a “Public Lender”). The Parent Borrower hereby agrees that
(i) Communications that may not be made available to Public Lenders shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PRIVATE” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PRIVATE” shall appear prominently on the first page
thereof, (ii) by not marking Communications “PRIVATE,” the Parent Borrower shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to treat such Communications as either publicly available information or not
material information (although it may be sensitive and proprietary) with respect to the Parent Borrower or its securities for purposes of United States federal and state securities laws, (iii) all Communications not marked “PRIVATE”
are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated “Public Lender,” and (iv) the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to treat any Communications that are marked “PRIVATE” as being suitable
only for posting on a portion of the Platform not designated “Public Lender.” 
 (d) Each Lender agrees that e-mail notice to it (at the address provided pursuant to the next sentence and deemed delivered as provided in the next paragraph) specifying that Communications have been posted to the Platform shall constitute
effective delivery of such Communications to such Lender for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender agrees (i) to notify the Administrative Agent in writing (including by electronic communication) from time to time to ensure that the
Administrative Agent has on record an effective e-mail address for such Lender to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission and (ii) that the foregoing notice may be sent to such e-mail address. 
 (e) Each party hereto agrees that any electronic communication referred to in this
Section 12.14 shall be deemed delivered upon the posting of a record of such communication (properly addressed to such party at the e-mail address provided to the Administrative
Agent) as “sent” in the e-mail system of the sending party or, in the case of any such communication to the Administrative Agent, upon the posting of a record of such communication as
“received” in the e-mail system of the Administrative Agent; provided, that if such communication is not so received by the Administrative Agent during the normal business hours of the
Administrative Agent, such communication shall be deemed delivered at the opening of business on the next Business Day for the Administrative Agent. 

  
 118 













 (f) Each party hereto acknowledges that (i) the distribution of material through an
electronic medium is not necessarily secure and that there are confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution, (ii) the Communications and the Platform are provided “as is” and “as available,” (iii) none
of the Administrative Agents, their affiliates nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, Administrative Agents, advisors or representatives (collectively, the “Administrative Agent Parties”) warrants the adequacy,
accuracy or completeness of the Communications or the Platform, and each Administrative Agent Party expressly disclaims liability for errors or omissions in any Communications or the Platform, and (iv) no warranty of any kind, express, implied
or statutory, including, without limitation, any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by
any Administrative Agent Party in connection with any Communications or the Platform. 
 Section 12.15 USA Patriot Act Notice.
Each Lender and the Administrative Agent hereby notifies the Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrowers, which information includes the
names and addresses of each of the Borrowers and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrowers in accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act. The Borrowers hereby each agree that it will provide each Lender and the Administrative
Agent with such information as they may request in order to satisfy the requirement of the USA PATRIOT Act. 
 Section 12.16

part of, any such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other

conversion powers of the applicable Resolution Authority.

understood that the Agents shall use reasonable efforts that are consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry to resume performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances. 

Section 12.19 Joint and Several Liability; Etc. 

(a) The Borrowers shall have joint and several liability in respect of all Indebtedness hereunder without regard to any defense (other than the
defense of payment), setoff or counterclaim which may at any time be available to or be asserted by any other Loan Party against the Lenders, or by any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of the Borrowers) which
constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of the Borrowers’ liability hereunder, in bankruptcy or in any other instance, and such Indebtedness of the Borrowers shall not be conditioned or contingent upon
the pursuit by the Lenders or any other person at any time of any right or remedy against the Borrowers or against any other person which may be or become liable in respect of all or any part of the Indebtedness or against any Collateral or
guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto. The Borrowers hereby acknowledge that this Agreement is the independent and several obligation of each Borrower (regardless of which Borrower shall have delivered a Borrowing Request) and
may be enforced against each Borrower separately, whether or not enforcement of any right or remedy hereunder has been sought against any other Borrower. Each Borrower hereby expressly waives, with respect to any of the Loans made to any other
Borrower hereunder and any of the amounts owing hereunder by such other Loan Parties in respect of such Loans, diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and all notices whatsoever, and any requirement that the Administrative Agent or any
Lender exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against such other Loan Parties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or against any other person under any other guarantee of, or
security for, any of such amounts owing hereunder.
