(iii) no default with respect to any Indebtedness of such Subsidiary (including any right which the holders thereof may
have to take enforcement action against such Subsidiary) would permit (upon notice, lapse of time or both) any holder of any other Indebtedness of the Borrower and of its other Subsidiaries (other than other Unrestricted Subsidiaries), to declare a
default on such other Indebtedness or cause the payment thereof to be accelerated or payable prior to its stated maturity.

 The Board of Directors
of the Borrower, or a committee thereof, may designate an Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary; provided that: 
 (i) any such redesignation will be deemed to be an Incurrence by the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries of the Indebtedness (if any) of such redesignated Subsidiary for purposes of Section 6.01
hereof as of the date of such redesignation; 
 (ii) immediately after giving effect to such redesignation and
the Incurrence of any such additional Indebtedness, the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries could incur $1.00 of additional Indebtedness under the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio contained in Section 6.01 hereof; and 

(iii) the Liens on the property and assets of such Unrestricted Subsidiary could then be incurred in accordance with
Section 6.02 hereof as of the date of such redesignation. 
 Subject to the foregoing, the Board of Directors of the
Borrower also may designate any Restricted Subsidiary to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary; provided that: 

(i) all previous Investments by the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries in such Restricted Subsidiary (net of any
returns previously paid on such Investments) will be deemed to be Restricted Payments at the time of such designation and will reduce the amount available for Restricted Payments under Section 6.03 hereof; 

(ii) immediately after giving effect to such designation and reduction of amounts available for Restricted Payments under
Section 6.03 hereof, either (a) the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries could incur $1.00 of additional Indebtedness under the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio contained in Section 6.01 hereof or (b) the Consolidated
Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries would be greater than such ratio immediately prior to such designation, in each case on a pro forma basis taking into account such designation; and 

(iii) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred or be continuing. 

Any such designation or redesignation by the Board of Directors of the Borrower will be evidenced to the Lender by the filing with the
Lender of a certified copy of the resolution of the Board of Directors of the Borrower giving effect to such designation or redesignation and an Officers’ Certificate certifying that such designation or redesignation complied with the foregoing
conditions and setting forth the underlying calculations. 
 “Weighted Average Life to Maturity” means, when

other required payment of principal, including, without limitation, payment at final maturity, in respect thereof, by (b) the number of years (calculated to the nearest one-twelfth) that will elapse between such date and the making of such
payment by (ii) the sum of all such payments described in clause (a) above.

 ARTICLE II

 AMOUNTS AND TERMS OF THE LOANS 
 Section 2.01 The Facility. 
 (a) Upon the terms and conditions
set forth in this Agreement and in reliance upon the representations and warranties of the Borrower herein set forth, the Lender agrees to make (a) a Loan to the Borrower on the Closing Date in the principal amount of $16,295,500 and (b) a
Loan to the Borrower after the Closing Date and prior to the Commitment Termination Date in a principal amount not to exceed $121,204,500; provided that, in no event may the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Loans exceed
$137,500,000. Each Loan will be funded directly to the Cash Collateral Account. 
 (b) All Obligations shall be due and payable
by the Borrower on the Maturity Date unless such Obligations shall sooner become due and payable pursuant to Section 7.01 or as otherwise provided in this Agreement. 
 (c) Each Borrowing which shall not utilize the Commitment in full shall be in an amount not less than $1,000,000. No more than two (2) Borrowings may be requested under this Agreement (including the
Borrowing on the Closing Date). Once repaid, Loans may not be reborrowed. Loans shall be made and maintained at the Lender’s Lending Office. 
 Section 2.02 Notice and manner of Borrowing. The Borrower shall give the Lender notice of any Loans under this Agreement at least three (3) Business Days before each Loan,
specifying: (1) the date of such Loan and (2) the amount of such Loan. All notices given by the Borrower under this Section 2.02 shall be irrevocable and shall be given not later than 11:00 A.M. New York City time on the day specified
above for such notice. In the event such notice from the Borrower is received after 11:00 A.M. New York City time, it shall be treated as if received on the next succeeding Business Day. On the date of such Loans and upon fulfillment of the
applicable conditions set forth in Article III, the Lender will make such Loans available to the Borrower by depositing the amount thereof to the Cash Collateral Account. 
 Section 2.03 Automatic Continuations. Each Loan shall be automatically continued at the end of each Interest Period with a new Interest Period commencing on such date of continuation.

 Section 2.04 Interest. 
 (a) The Borrower shall pay interest to the Lender on the outstanding and unpaid principal amount of each Loan at a rate per annum for the Interest Period applicable to such Loan equal to the Eurodollar
Rate for such Interest Period. Each interest payment shall be divided into the portion attributable to the LIBO Rate minus 0.05% (the “LIBO Rate Portion”) and a portion attributable to the Applicable Margin plus 0.05% (the
“Applicable Margin Portion”). The Applicable Margin Portion shall be paid directly by the Borrower to the Lender as set forth below. The Lender will apply income on the Cash Collateral Account to the payment of the LIBO Rate
Portion; provided that, the Lender may, at its option, at any time that an Event of Default under Section 7.01(1), (7) or (8) hereof has occurred and is continuing, cease such application of income on the Cash Collateral
Account to the payment of the LIBO Rate Portion. 
 (b) Interest on each Loan accruing interest at the LIBO Rate shall be
calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days elapsed. Interest on each Loan accruing interest calculated on the basis of the Base Rate shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days (as appropriate) for
the actual number of days elapsed and interest on each Loan calculated based on the Federal Funds Effective Rate shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days elapsed. 

  
 -21-









  
 (c) Interest on the
Loans shall be paid (in an amount set forth in a statement delivered by the Lender to the Borrower; provided, however, that the failure of the Lender to deliver such statement shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the
Borrower hereunder) in immediately available funds to the Lender at its Lending Office (either directly by the Borrower or through withdrawals from the Cash Collateral Account as described in clause (a) above) as follows: 

(1) For each Loan, on the last day of the Interest Period with respect thereto; and 

(2) If not sooner paid, then on the Maturity Date or such earlier date as the Loans may be due or declared due hereunder. 

(d) Any amount payable hereunder that is not paid when due (at maturity, by acceleration, or otherwise) shall bear interest thereafter
until paid in full, payable on demand, at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate in effect from time to time as interest accrues, plus two percent (2%) per annum. 

(e) The Lender shall determine each LIBO Rate and shall give prompt notice to the Borrower of the applicable interest rate determined by
the Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. 
 Section 2.05 Note. All Loans shall be evidenced by,
and repaid with interest in accordance with, a single Note of the Borrower in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto, duly completed, dated the date of this Agreement and payable to the Lender for the account of its Lending Office, such
Note to represent the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans made by the Lender. The Lender is hereby authorized by the Borrower, but the Lender shall not be required, to endorse on the schedule attached to the Note held by it the amount of
the Loans and each continuation and payment of principal amount received by the Lender for the account of its Lending Office on account of its Loans, which endorsement shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive as to the outstanding
balance of the Loans made by the Lender; provided, however, that the failure to make such notation with respect to any Loan or continuation or payment shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower under this
Agreement or the Note held by the Lender. All Loans shall be repaid on the Maturity Date. 
 Section 2.06
Prepayments. 
 (a) The Borrower may, upon at least three (3) Business Days’ prior notice to the
Lender, prepay (including, without limitation, all amounts payable pursuant to the terms of Section 2.11), the Loans in whole or in part with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the amount prepaid, provided that
(1) each partial payment shall be in a principal amount of not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000); and (2) Loans may be prepaid only on the last day of the Interest Period for such Loans; provided, however, that such
prepayment may be made on any other Business Day if the Borrower pays at the time of such prepayment all amounts due pursuant to Section 2.11. 
 (b) Within fifteen (15) days following a Change of Control, the Borrower shall notify the Lender in writing of such Change of Control. The Lender shall have the right to require the Borrower to
prepay all or any portion of the Loans on the date that is forty-five (45) days following the occurrence of a Change of Control (each, a “Change of Control Payment Date”), by giving the Borrower written notice of such election
no later than ten (10) days prior to the Change of Control Payment Date. The Borrower shall prepay, the elected portion of the Loans at 100% of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the
amount prepaid. The Borrower shall make such payment to the Lender on the Change of Control Payment Date. 

  
 -22-









  
 (c) If, as a result of
the application of funds held in the Cash Collateral Account to Obligations other than principal or the LIBO Rate Portion of interest in accordance with the Loan Documents, the amount of funds held in the Cash Collateral Account at any time is less
than 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Loans outstanding at such time, then the Borrower shall within two (2) Business Days thereafter either, at the Borrower’s option, prepay the Loans and/or deposit Unrestricted Cash into the
Cash Collateral Account in an aggregate amount equal to any such shortfall. Any failure to prepay the Loan or deposit sufficient Unrestricted Cash will be deemed to constitute a failure to pay principal on the second (2nd) Business Day
following the date upon which the Borrower’s prepayment obligation and/or deposit obligation first arises. 
 (d) The
Lender shall have the right to require the Borrower to prepay all or any portion of the Loans on November 16, 2012 or November 14, 2014 (each, a “Put Date”), by giving the Borrower written notice of such election no later
than thirty (30) days prior to the applicable Put Date. If the Borrower receives any such election notices, the Borrower shall prepay, the elected portion of the Loans at 100% of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued interest to
the date of such prepayment on the amount prepaid. The Borrower shall make such payment to the Lender on the applicable Put Date. 
 Section 2.07 Method of Payment. The Borrower shall make each payment under this Agreement and under the Note not later than noon New York City time on the date when due in lawful money
of the United States to the Lender in immediately available funds. The Borrower hereby authorizes the Lender, if and to the extent payment is not made when due under this Agreement or under the Note, to charge from time to time against the Cash
Collateral Account any amount as due. Whenever any payment to be made under this Agreement or under the Note shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such
extension of time shall be included in the computation of the payment of interest; provided that if the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, such payment shall be made on the immediately
preceding Business Day. 
 Section 2.08 Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Loans hereunder shall initially
be deposited into the Cash Collateral Account and, upon release from the Cash Collateral Account in accordance with this Agreement and the Security Documents, shall be used by the Borrower for working capital and general corporate purposes of the
Borrower and its Subsidiaries to the extent permitted in this Agreement. The Borrower will not, directly or indirectly, use any part of such proceeds for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any margin stock within the meaning of Regulation U or to
extend credit to any Person for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any such margin stock, or for any purpose which violates, or is inconsistent with, Regulation X. 
 Section 2.09 Yield Protection. If any law or any governmental or quasi-governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law), or any
interpretation thereof, or the compliance of the Lender therewith: 
 (i) subjects the Lender or its Lending
Office to any tax, duty, charge or withholding on or from payments due from the Borrower (excluding federal taxation of the overall net income of the Lender or its Lending Office), or changes the basis of taxation of payments to the Lender in
respect of its Loans or other amounts due it hereunder, or 

  
 -23-









  
 (ii)
imposes or increases or deems applicable any reserve, assessment, insurance charge, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, the Lender or its Lending Office (other than
reserves and assessments taken into account in determining the interest rate applicable to the Loans), or 

(iii) imposes any other condition the result of which is to increase the cost to the Lender or its Lending Office of
making, funding or maintaining loans or reduces any amount receivable by the Lender or its Lending Office in connection with loans, or requires the Lender or its Lending Office to make any payment calculated by reference to the amount of loans held,
letters of credit issued or interest received by it, by an amount deemed material by the Lender, 
 then, within fifteen (15) days of
demand by the Lender, the Borrower shall pay the Lender that portion of such increased expense incurred or reduction in an amount received which the Lender reasonably determines is attributable to making, funding and maintaining its Loans and its
Commitment. 
 Section 2.10 Changes in Capital Adequacy Regulations. If the Lender determines the amount of
capital required or expected to be maintained by the Lender, its Lending Office or any corporation controlling the Lender is increased as a result of a Change, then, within ten (10) days of demand by the Lender, the Borrower shall pay the
Lender the amount necessary to compensate for any shortfall in the rate of return on the portion of such increased capital which the Lender determines is attributable to this Agreement, the Loans or its obligation to make the Loans hereunder (after
taking into account the Lender’s policies as to capital adequacy); provided, however, that the Lender shall impose such cost upon the Borrower only if the Lender is generally imposing such cost on its other borrowers having
similar credit arrangements. “Change” means (i) any change after the date of this Agreement in the Risk-Based Capital Guidelines or (ii) any adoption of or change in any other law, governmental or quasi-governmental rule,
regulation, policy, guideline, interpretation, or directive (whether or not having the force of law) after the date of this Agreement which affects the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by the Lender or its Lending Office or
any corporation controlling the Lender. “Risk-Based Capital Guidelines” means (i) the risk-based capital guidelines in effect in the United States on the date of this Agreement, including transition rules, and (ii) the
corresponding capital regulations promulgated by regulatory authorities outside the United States implementing the July 1988 report of the Basel Committee on Banking Regulation and Supervisory Practices Entitled “International Convergence of
Capital Measurements and Capital Standards,” including transition rules, and any amendments to such regulations adopted prior to the date of this Agreement. 
 Section 2.11 Funding Indemnification. If any payment of a Loan occurs on a date which is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period, whether because of acceleration, prepayment
or otherwise, or a Loan is not made on the date specified by the Borrower for any reason other than default by the Lender, the Borrower will indemnify the Lender for any loss or cost incurred by it resulting therefrom, including, without limitation,
any loss or cost in liquidating or employing deposits required to fund or maintain such Loan (including, without limitation, the Cash Collateral Account). 
 Section 2.12 Lender Statements; Survival of Indemnity. To the extent reasonably possible, the Lender shall designate an alternate Lending Office with respect to its Loans to reduce any
liability of the Borrower to the Lender under Sections 2.09 and 2.10 or to avoid the unavailability of Loans. The Lender shall deliver a written statement of the Lender as to the amount due, if any, under Section 2.09, 2.10 or 2.11. Such
written statement shall set forth in reasonable detail the calculations upon which the Lender determined such amount and shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Borrower in the absence of manifest error. Determination of amounts payable under
such Sections in connection with a Loan shall be calculated as though the Lender funded such Loan through the purchase of a deposit of the type and 

  
 -24-









 
maturity corresponding to the deposit used as a reference in determining the Eurodollar Rate applicable to such Loan, whether in fact that is the case or not. Unless otherwise provided herein,
the amount specified in the written statement shall be payable on demand after receipt by the Borrower of the written statement. The obligations of the Borrower under Sections 2.09, 2.10 and 2.11 shall survive payment of the Obligations and
termination of this Agreement. 
 Section 2.13 Cash Collateral Account. On the date of the borrowing of each
Loan hereunder, the Lender shall directly deposit the proceeds of such Loan into the Cash Collateral Account. On the date that any repayment or prepayment of principal of Loans is required to be made hereunder (including, without limitation,
pursuant to any notice of prepayment delivered in accordance with Section 2.06(a)), the Lender shall withdraw funds held in the Cash Collateral Account in an amount equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of Loans to be so repaid or
prepaid and shall apply such funds to the repayment or prepayment of such principal. Additionally, in connection with any prepayment or repayment in full of all Obligations (other than unasserted contingent indemnification obligations) under the
Loan Documents, and provided that the Commitment has terminated or is cancelled, the application of such funds shall be deemed to occur immediately upon delivery of the Borrower’s notice of such repayment or prepayment to the Lender in
accordance with this Agreement, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement. 
 Section 2.14
Application of Amounts from the Cash Collateral Account. If the Lender removes any amount on deposit in the Cash Collateral Account for the payment of any Obligations that are due and payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document,
unless the Lender elects otherwise in its discretion and states such election in writing, such amounts shall be deemed applied (a) first, to the payment of fees and expenses due to the Lender and/or its Affiliates,
(b) second, to the payment of interest on the Loans, (c) third, to the payment of the principal amount of the Loans and (d) fourth, to the payment of any other Obligation that is due and payable.

 -38-









  
 (3) The

interest payment becoming due and payable (after giving effect to any applicable grace period set forth in the documents governing such Indebtedness); provided, that if such failure to pay shall be remedied, waived or extended, then the Event
of Default hereunder shall be deemed likewise to be remedied, waived or extended without further action by the Borrower; 
 (6) A final judgment or judgments that exceed $25.0 million or more in the aggregate, for the payment of money, having been entered by a court or courts of competent jurisdiction against the Borrower and

 -39-









  
 (10)
The Borrower shall default in the observance or performance of any term, covenant or agreement contained in any Security Document and such default shall continue unremedied for thirty (30) consecutive days after the delivery of notice thereof
from the Lender to the Borrower; 
 then the following provisions shall apply: 

(i) if any Event of Default described in Section 7.01(7) or (8) occurs, the obligations of the Lender to make
Loans hereunder shall automatically terminate and the Obligations shall immediately become due and payable without any election or action on the part of the Lender. If any other Event of Default occurs, the Lender may terminate or suspend the
Obligations of the Lender to make Loans hereunder or declare the Obligations to be due and payable, whereupon the Obligations shall become immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which the
Borrower hereby expressly waives. 
 (ii) At any time while an Event of Default is continuing, the Lender may,
from time to time, apply funds in the Cash Collateral Account to the payment of the Obligations and any other amounts as shall from time to time have become due and payable by the Borrower to the Lender under the Loan Documents. 

(iii) At any time while any Event of Default is continuing, neither the Borrower nor any Person claiming on behalf of or
through the Borrower shall have any right to withdraw any of the funds held in the Cash Collateral Account. After all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full and the Commitment has been terminated, any funds remaining in the Cash
Collateral Account shall be returned by the Lender to the Borrower or paid to whomever may be legally entitled thereto at such time. 
 (iv) If within thirty (30) days after acceleration of the maturity of the Obligations or termination of the obligations of the Lender to make Loans hereunder as a result of any Event of Default
(other than any Event of Default as described in Section 7.01(7) or (8)) and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the Obligations due shall have been obtained or entered, the Lender (in its sole discretion) may, by notice to
the Borrower, rescind and annul such acceleration and/or termination. 
 (v) Upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of any Event of Default, the Lender may exercise any and all remedies provided under any of the Security Documents or otherwise provided by law. 
 Section 7.02 Set-Off. In addition to the rights provided to the Lender under the Security Documents, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Lender
is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, without notice to the Borrower (any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower), to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at
any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by the Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or the Note held by the
Lender or any other Loan Document, irrespective of whether or not the Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or the Note held by the Lender or such other Loan Document and although such obligations may be unmatured. The Lender agrees
promptly to notify the Borrower after any such set-off and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of the Lender under this Section 7.02 are in
addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) which the Lender may have.

 ARTICLE VIII

 MISCELLANEOUS 
 Section 8.01 Amendments, Etc. No amendment, modification, termination, or waiver of any provision of any Loan Document to which the Borrower is a party, nor consent to any departure by
the Borrower from any Loan Document to which it is a party, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Lender and the Borrower, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific
instance and for the specific purpose for which given. 
 Section 8.02 Notices, Etc. 

(a) All notices, demands, requests, consents and other communications provided for in this Agreement shall be given in writing, or by any
telecommunication device capable of creating a written record (including electronic mail), and addressed to the party to be notified at its address for notices set forth on its signature page to this Agreement, or at such other address as shall be
notified in writing. 
 (b) All notices, demands, requests, consents and other communications described in Section 8.02(a)
shall be effective (i) if delivered by hand, including any overnight courier service, upon personal delivery, (ii) if delivered by mail, when deposited in the mails, and (iii) if delivered by electronic mail or any other
telecommunication device, when transmitted to an electronic mail address (or by another means of electronic delivery) as provided in Section 8.02(a); provided, however, that notices and communications to the Lender pursuant to
Article II shall not be effective until received by the Lender. 
 (c) Notwithstanding Sections 8.02(a) and (b) (unless the
Lender requests that the provisions of Sections 8.02(a) and (b) be followed) and any other provision in this Agreement or any other Loan Document providing for the delivery of any Approved Electronic Communication by any other means, the
Borrower shall deliver all Approved Electronic Communications to the Lender by properly transmitting such Approved Electronic Communications in an electronic/soft medium in a format acceptable to the Lender to loan.admin-NY@db.com and
ed.herko@db.com or such other electronic mail address (or similar means of electronic delivery) as the Lender may notify to the Borrower. Nothing in this clause (c) shall prejudice the right of the Lender to deliver any Approved Electronic
Communication to the Borrower in any manner authorized in this Agreement or to request that the Borrower effect delivery in such manner. 
 Section 8.03 No Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of the Lender in exercising any right, power, or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or
partial exercise of any such right, power, or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, or remedy hereunder. The making of a Loan notwithstanding, the existence of a Default or Event of Default
shall not constitute any waiver or acquiescence of such Default or Event of Default, and the making of any Loan notwithstanding any failure or inability to satisfy the conditions precedent to such Loan shall not constitute any waiver or acquiescence
with respect to such conditions precedent with respect to any subsequent Loans. The rights and remedies provided herein are cumulative, and are not exclusive of any other rights, powers, privileges, or remedies, now or hereafter existing, at law, in
equity or otherwise. 
 Section 8.04 Costs, Expenses, and Taxes. 

(a) Subject to the terms of the Fee Letter, the Borrower agrees to reimburse the Lender for any reasonable costs, internal charges and

reimburse the Lender for any reasonable costs, internal charges and out-of-pocket expenses (including attorneys’ fees and time charges of attorneys for the Lender which attorneys may be employees of the Lender) paid or incurred by the Lender or
the Arranger in connection with the collection of the Obligations and enforcement of the Loan Documents, including during any workout or restructuring in respect of the Loan Documents. 

(b) The Borrower shall pay any and all stamp and other taxes and fees payable or determined to be payable in connection with the
execution, delivery, filing, and recording of any of the Loan Documents and the other documents to be delivered under any such Loan Documents, and agrees to hold the Lender harmless from and against any and all liabilities with respect to or
resulting from any delay in paying or failing to pay such taxes and fees. 
 (c) The Lender represents and warrants to the
Borrower that, at the date of this Agreement, (i) its Lending Office is entitled to receive payments of principal, interest, and fees hereunder without deduction or withholding for or on account of any taxes imposed by the United States or any
political subdivision thereof and (ii) it is permitted to take the actions described in the preceding sentence under the laws and any applicable double taxation treaties of the jurisdictions specified in the preceding sentence.

relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede all oral statements and prior writings with respect thereto. 

Section 8.06 Indemnity. The Borrower hereby agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold the Lender and each of its
Affiliates, and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and advisors (each an “Indemnified Party”) harmless from and against all claims, damages, judgments, penalties, costs, and expenses (including
reasonable attorney fees and court costs now or hereafter arising from the aforesaid enforcement of this clause) arising directly or indirectly from the activities of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, its predecessors in interest, or third parties
with whom it has a contractual relationship, in each case relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby, or arising directly or indirectly from the violation of any environmental protection, health, or
safety law, whether such claims are asserted by any governmental agency or any other person, other than claims, damages, judgments, penalties, costs and expenses arising as a result of any Indemnified Party’s willful misconduct or gross
negligence as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment. This indemnity shall survive termination of this Agreement. 
 Section 8.07 CHOICE OF LAW. THE LOAN DOCUMENTS SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICT OF LAW
(OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK). 
 Section 8.08 Severability of
Provisions. Any provision of any Loan Document which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining
provisions of such Loan Document or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW. NOTHING CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION 8.11 SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF THE
LENDER TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR COMMENCE LEGAL PROCEEDINGS OR OTHERWISE PROCEED AGAINST THE BORROWER IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. 
 Section 8.12 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. THE BORROWER AND THE LENDER HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY JUDICIAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING INVOLVING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ANY MATTER (WHETHER

(including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party
hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document, any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder or any
litigation or proceeding to which the Lender or any of its Affiliates may be a party, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 8.15, to (i) any actual or prospective party (or
its managers, administrators, trustees, partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and other representatives) surety, reinsurer, guarantor or credit liquidity enhancer (or their advisors) to or in connection with any swap, derivative

clearly identified at the time of delivery as not being confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has

hereto shall assert, and each such party hereby waives, any claim against all other parties hereto, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in
connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby and the Loans or the use of the proceeds thereof.

 -44-









 
any of its rights or obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents without the prior written consent of the Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such
consent shall be null and void) and (ii) the Lender may not assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (other than by an assignment to an Affiliate of the Lender or by means of a
participation) without the prior written consent of the Borrower, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Lender without such consent shall be null and void). 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) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this
Agreement.

security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of the Lender to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that

 Exhibit A 

FORM OF NOTE 
  

			
	$                     	  	[            ]

 FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, BEAZER HOMES USA, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), HEREBY PROMISES TO PAY to the order of DEUTSCHE BANK AG CAYMAN ISLANDS BRANCH (the
“Lender”), at the Lender’s office located at Boundary Hall, Cricket Square PO Box 1984 Grand Cayman KY1-1104, Cayman Islands (or at such other office as the Lender may from time to time designate in writing), in lawful money of
the United States and in immediately available funds, the principal amount of
                             Dollars
($            ) or the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Loans made to the Borrower by the Lender pursuant to the Credit Agreement and outstanding on the Maturity Date,
whichever is less, and to pay interest from the date of this Note, in like money, at said office for the account of the Lender’s Lending Office, at the time and at a rate per annum as provided in the Credit Agreement. The Lender is hereby
authorized by the Borrower, but is not required, to endorse on the schedule attached to this Note held by it the amount of each Loan and each continuation, and payment of principal amount received by the Lender for the account of its Lending Office
on account of its Loans, which endorsement shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive as to the outstanding balance of the Loans made by the Lender; provided, however, that the failure to make such notation with respect to
any Loan or continuation or payment shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower hereunder. 
 This Note
