SECTION 2. AMOUNT AND TERMS OF REVOLVING COMMITMENTS 

2.1 Revolving Commitments. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Lender severally agrees to make revolving credit
loans ( “Revolving Loans”) to the Borrower from time to time during the Revolving Commitment Period in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding which, when added to such Lender’s Revolving Percentage of the sum
of (i) the L/C Obligations then outstanding and (ii) the aggregate principal amount of the Swingline Loans then outstanding, does not exceed the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment. During the Revolving Commitment Period the
Borrower may use the Revolving Commitments by borrowing, prepaying the Revolving Loans in whole or in part, and reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. Subject to Section 2.14, the Revolving Loans may from
time to time be Eurodollar Loans or ABR Loans, as determined by the Borrower and notified to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Sections 2.2 and 2.10. 

  
 -33- 








 (b) The Borrower shall repay all outstanding Revolving Loans on the Revolving Termination Date.

 2.2 Procedure for Revolving Loan Borrowing. The Borrower may borrow under the Revolving Commitments during the Revolving
Commitment Period on any Business Day, provided that the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice (which notice must be received by the Administrative Agent prior to 11:00 A.M., New York City time, (a) three
(3) Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing Date, in the case of Eurodollar Loans, or (b) the requested Borrowing Date, in the case of ABR Loans) (provided that any such notice of a borrowing of ABR Loans to finance payments
required by Section 3.5 may be given not later than 10:00 A.M., New York City time, on the date of the proposed borrowing), specifying (i) the amount, Class and Type of Revolving Loans to be borrowed, (ii) the requested
Borrowing Date and (iii) in the case of Eurodollar Loans, the respective amounts of each such Type of Loan and the respective lengths of the initial Interest Period therefor. Any Revolving Loans made on the Closing Date shall initially be ABR
Loans unless the Borrower has provided to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders a funding indemnity in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. Each borrowing of Revolving Loans shall be in an amount equal to
(x) in the case of ABR Loans, $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof and (y) in the case of Eurodollar Loans, $3,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; provided, that the Swingline Lender
may request, on behalf of the Borrower, borrowings of Revolving Loans that are ABR Loans in other amounts pursuant to Section 2.4. Upon receipt of any such notice from the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each
Lender of the applicable Class thereof. Each Lender of the applicable Class will make the amount of its pro rata share of each borrowing available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Borrower at the Funding Office prior to 1:00 P.M.,
New York City time, on the Borrowing Date requested by the Borrower in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent. Such borrowing will then be made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent crediting the account of the
Borrower on the books of such office with the aggregate of the amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by the Lenders and in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent. 

2.3 Swingline Commitment. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swingline Lender agrees to make a portion of the
credit otherwise available to the Borrower under the Revolving Commitments from time to time during the Revolving Commitment Period by making swing line loans ( “Swingline Loans”) to the Borrower; provided that (i) the
aggregate principal amount of Swingline Loans outstanding at any time shall not exceed the Swingline Commitment then in effect (notwithstanding that the Swingline Loans outstanding at any time, when aggregated with the Swingline Lender’s other
outstanding Revolving Loans, may exceed the Swingline Commitment then in effect) and (ii) the Borrower shall not request, and the Swingline Lender shall not make, any Swingline Loan if, after giving effect to the making of such Swingline Loan,
the aggregate amount of the Available Revolving Commitments would be less than zero. During the Revolving Commitment Period, the Borrower may use the Swingline Commitment by borrowing, repaying and reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and
conditions hereof. Swingline Loans shall be ABR Loans only. 
 (b) The Borrower shall repay to the Swingline Lender the then unpaid principal
amount of each Swingline Loan on the earlier of the Revolving Termination Date and the date that is seven (7) Business Days after such Swingline Loan is made; provided that on each date that a Revolving Loan is borrowed, the Borrower
shall repay all Swingline Loans then outstanding. 
 2.4 Procedure for Swingline Borrowing; Refunding of Swingline Loans. (a)
Whenever the Borrower desires that the Swingline Lender make Swingline Loans it shall give the Swingline Lender irrevocable telephonic notice confirmed promptly in writing (which telephonic notice must be


  
 -34- 








 
received by the Swingline Lender not later than 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on the proposed Borrowing Date), specifying (i) the amount to be borrowed and (ii) the requested Borrowing
Date (which shall be a Business Day during the Revolving Commitment Period). Each borrowing under the Swingline Commitment shall be in an amount equal to $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. Not later than 3:00 P.M., New York
City time, on the Borrowing Date specified in a notice in respect of Swingline Loans, the Swingline Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent at the Funding Office an amount in immediately available funds equal to the amount of the
Swingline Loan to be made by the Swingline Lender. The Administrative Agent shall make the proceeds of such Swingline Loan available to the Borrower on such Borrowing Date by depositing such proceeds in the account of the Borrower with the
Administrative Agent on such Borrowing Date in immediately available funds. 
 (b) The Swingline Lender, at any time and from time to time in
its sole and absolute discretion may, on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably directs the Swingline Lender to act on its behalf), on one (1) Business Day’s notice given by the Swingline Lender no later than 12:00 Noon, New York
City time, request each Lender to make, and each Lender hereby agrees to make, a Revolving Loan, in an amount equal to such Lender’s Revolving Percentage of the aggregate amount of the Swingline Loans (the “Refunded Swingline
Loans”) outstanding on the date of such notice, to repay the Swingline Lender. Each Lender shall make the amount of such Revolving Loan available to the Administrative Agent at the Funding Office in immediately available funds, not later
than 10:00 A.M., New York City time, one (1) Business Day after the date of such notice. The proceeds of such Revolving Loans shall be immediately made available by the Administrative Agent to the Swingline Lender for application by the
Swingline Lender to the repayment of the Refunded Swingline Loans. The Borrower irrevocably authorizes the Swingline Lender to charge the Borrower’s accounts with the Administrative Agent (up to the amount available in each such account) in
order to immediately pay the amount of such Refunded Swingline Loans to the extent amounts received from the Lenders are not sufficient to repay in full such Refunded Swingline Loans. 

(c) If prior to the time a Revolving Loan would have otherwise been made pursuant to Section 2.4(b), one of the events described in
Section 8.1(g) shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the Borrower or if for any other reason, as determined by the Swingline Lender in its sole discretion, Revolving Loans may not be made as contemplated by
Section 2.4(b), each Lender shall, on the date such Revolving Loan was to have been made pursuant to the notice referred to in Section 2.4(b), purchase for cash an undivided participating interest in the then outstanding
Swingline Loans by paying to the Swingline Lender an amount (the “Swingline Participation Amount”) equal to (i) such Lender’s Revolving Percentage times (ii) the sum of the aggregate principal amount of Swingline
Loans then outstanding that were to have been repaid with such Revolving Loans. 
 (d) Whenever, at any time after the Swingline Lender has
received from any Lender such Lender’s Swingline Participation Amount, the Swingline Lender receives any payment on account of the Swingline Loans, the Swingline Lender will distribute to such Lender its Swingline Participation Amount
(appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s participating interest was outstanding and funded and, in the case of principal and interest payments, to reflect such
Lender’s pro rata portion of such payment if such payment is not sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on all Swingline Loans then due); provided, however, that in the event that such payment received by the Swingline
Lender is required to be returned, such Lender will return to the Swingline Lender any portion thereof previously distributed to it by the Swingline Lender. 

(e) Each Lender’s obligation to make the Loans referred to in Section 2.4(b) and to purchase participating interests pursuant
to Section 2.4(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Lender or the Borrower may have against the
Swingline Lender, the Borrower or any other 

  
 -35- 








 
Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the failure to satisfy any of the other conditions specified in Section 5,
(iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower, (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Lender or (v) any other circumstance,
happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. 
 2.5 Commitment Fees, etc. (a) The Borrower
agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a commitment fee for the period from and including the date hereof to the last day of the Revolving Commitment Period, computed at the Commitment Fee Rate on the average daily
amount of the Available Revolving Commitment of such Lender during the period for which payment is made, payable quarterly in arrears on each Fee Payment Date, commencing on the first such date to occur after the date hereof. For the avoidance of
doubt, each Lender’s Revolving Commitment shall be deemed to be in effect for purposes of this Section 2.5(a) regardless of the occurrence and continuance of a Trigger Event or an Adjusted Trigger Event except with respect to
any of such Revolving Commitment that has been permanently and irrevocable terminated pursuant to the terms hereof. 
 (b) The Borrower
agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent the fees in the amounts and on the dates as set forth in any fee agreements with the Administrative Agent and to perform any other obligations contained therein. 

2.6 Termination or Reduction of Revolving Commitments. Subject to Section 2.22(b), the Borrower shall have the right, upon
not less than three (3) Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, to terminate the Revolving Commitments or, from time to time, to reduce the amount of the Revolving Commitments; provided that no such termination or
reduction of Revolving Commitments shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto and to any prepayments of the Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans made on the effective date thereof, either (a) the Total Revolving Extensions of Credit
would exceed the Total Revolving Commitments or (b) the aggregate amount of the Revolving Extensions of Credit with respect to any Class outstanding at such time would exceed the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments then in effect with
respect to such Class. Any such notice may state that such notice is conditioned upon the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event specified therein (including the effectiveness of other credit facilities), in which case such notice may be revoked
by the Borrower (by written notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any such reduction shall be in an amount equal to $3,000,000, or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess
thereof, and shall reduce permanently the Revolving Commitments then in effect either (i) ratably among Classes or (ii) if not inconsistent with the Extension Amendment relating to Extended Commitments, first to the Revolving Commitments
with respect to any Existing Commitments and second to such Extended Commitments; provided that, with respect to the Revolving Commitments of any Class, any such termination or reduction shall apply ratably to the Revolving Commitment of each
Lender of such Class. 
 2.7 Repayment of Loans; Source of Funds; Evidence of Debt. (a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally
promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Loan of such Lender on the applicable Revolving Termination Date. 

(b) None of the funds or assets of the Borrower that are used to pay any amount due on the Loans, Reimbursement Obligations or any other
amounts due under this Agreement shall constitute funds obtained from transactions with or relating to Designated Persons or countries which are the subject of Sanctions. 

(c) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to the
appropriate lending office of such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such lending office of such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such lending office of such Lender from time to time
under this Agreement. 

  
 -36-

and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender, the Swingline Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder and
(iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower and each Lender’s share thereof. 

(e) The entries made in the Register and accounts and subaccounts maintained pursuant to paragraphs (c) and (d) of this
Section 2.7 shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the Borrower therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or
the Administrative Agent to maintain such account, such Register or such subaccount, as applicable, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay (with applicable interest) the Loans made to the
Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 
 (f) Any Lender may request that Loans of any Class made by it be evidenced by a
promissory note. In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form approved by the
Administrative Agent. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 10.6) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form
payable to the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns). 
 2.8
Optional Prepayments. The Borrower may at any time and from time to time prepay the Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, upon irrevocable notice delivered to the Administrative Agent no later than 11:00 A.M., New York City

therein, together with (except in the case of Revolving Loans that are ABR Loans and Swingline Loans) accrued interest to such date on the amount prepaid. Partial prepayments of Revolving Loans shall be in an amount equal to (x) in the case of
ABR Loans, $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof and (y) in the case of Eurodollar Loans, $3,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. Partial prepayments of Swingline Loans shall be in an aggregate

exceed the Total Revolving Commitments then in effect, the Borrower shall immediately prepay Loans and/or Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations in an amount not less than the applicable Minimum Collateral Amount multiplied by such excess amount;
provided, however, that, subject to Section 2.24(a), the Borrower shall not be required to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations pursuant to this Section 2.9(a) unless after the prepayment in full of the Loans,
Total Revolving Extensions of Credit exceed the Total Revolving Commitments then in effect.

giving the Administrative Agent prior irrevocable notice of such election no later than 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on the Business Day preceding the proposed conversion date, provided that any such conversion of Eurodollar Loans may only
be made on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert ABR Loans to Eurodollar Loans by giving the Administrative Agent prior irrevocable notice of such election no later than 11:00
A.M., New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding the proposed conversion date (which notice shall specify the length of the initial Interest Period therefor), provided that no ABR Loan may be converted into a Eurodollar Loan when
any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender of the applicable Class thereof. 

(b) Any Eurodollar Loan may be continued as such upon the expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto by the Borrower
giving irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the term “Interest Period” set forth in Section 1.1, of the length of the next Interest Period to be applicable to such
Loans, provided that no Eurodollar Loan may be continued as such when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and provided, further, that if the Borrower shall fail to give any required notice as described above in
this paragraph or if such continuation is not permitted pursuant to the preceding proviso such Loans shall be automatically converted to ABR Loans on the last day of such then expiring Interest Period. Upon receipt of any such notice the
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender of the applicable Class thereof. 
 2.11 Limitations on Eurodollar
Tranches. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all borrowings, conversions and continuations of Eurodollar Loans and all selections of Interest Periods shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so

Reimbursement Obligation or any commitment fee or other amount payable hereunder or under any Loan Document shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate
per annum equal to (x) in the case of the Loans, the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section plus 2% or (y) in the case of any other amount, the rate applicable to ABR Loans plus
2%, in each case, from the date of such non-payment until such amount is paid in full (after as well as before judgment).

(or 366-, as the case may be) day year for the actual days elapsed. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the relevant Lenders of each determination of a Eurodollar Rate. Any change in the interest rate on a
Loan resulting from a change in the ABR or the Eurocurrency Reserve Requirements shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the
Borrower and the relevant Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change in interest rate. 
 (b) Each determination of an
interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Borrower,
deliver to the Borrower a statement showing the quotations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate pursuant to Section 2.12(a). 

2.14 Inability to Determine Interest Rate. If prior to the first day of any Interest Period: 

(a) the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower) that, by reason of
circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period, or 

(b) the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Majority in Interest of any Class that the Eurodollar Rate determined or to be
determined for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (as conclusively certified by such Lenders) of making or maintaining their affected Loans during such Interest Period, 

the Administrative Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof to the Borrower and the relevant Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. If such
notice is given (x) any Eurodollar Loans with respect to such Class requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as ABR Loans, (y) any Loans with respect to such Class that were to have been converted on the
first day of such Interest Period to Eurodollar Loans shall be continued as ABR Loans and (z) any outstanding Eurodollar Loans with respect to such Class shall be converted, on the last day of the then-current Interest Period, to ABR Loans.
Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no further Eurodollar Loans with respect to such Class shall be made or continued as such, nor shall the Borrower have the right to convert Loans to Eurodollar Loans with respect to
such Class. 
 2.15 Pro Rata Treatment and Payments. (a) Each borrowing by the Borrower from the Lenders hereunder and each
payment by the Borrower on account of any commitment fee shall be made pro rata according to the respective Revolving Percentages of the Lenders. Any reduction of the Revolving 

  
 -39- 








 
Commitments of the Lenders shall be made pro rata according to the respective Revolving Percentages of the relevant Lenders except to the extent that this Agreement provides for reductions to be
disproportionately allocated to a group of Lenders with respect to a particular Class pursuant to Section 2.6, in which case each reduction shall be allocated to the Lenders in such Class pro rata according to the respective Revolving
Percentages of the relevant Lenders. 
 (b) Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal of the Revolving
Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Revolving Loans then held by the Lenders. Each payment of interest on the Revolving Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding
principal amounts of the Revolving Loans then held by the Lenders, except to the extent that this Agreement provides that different Classes of Revolving Loans shall have different Applicable Margins, in which case each payment shall be allocated to
the Lenders in such Class pro rata according to the respective Revolving Percentages of the relevant Lenders. 
 (c) All payments (including
prepayments) to be made by the Borrower hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the due date thereof to the
Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, at the Funding Office, in Dollars and in immediately available funds. The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to each relevant Lender promptly upon receipt in like funds as
received, net of any amounts owing by such Lender pursuant to Section 9.7. If any payment hereunder (other than payments on the Eurodollar Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended
to the next succeeding Business Day. If any payment on a Eurodollar Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would
be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. In the case of any extension of any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding two sentences, interest
thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension. 
 (d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified
in writing by any Lender prior to a borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its share of such borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender is making such
amount available to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by the required
time on the Borrowing Date therefor, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, such amount with interest thereon, at a rate equal to the greater of (i) the Federal Funds Effective Rate and (ii) a rate determined by the
Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Administrative Agent. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to
any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If such Lender’s share of such borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three
(3) Business Days after such Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to ABR Loans, on demand, from the Borrower. 

(e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by the Borrower prior to the date of any payment due to be made by the
Borrower hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower is making such payment, and the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, in reliance
upon such assumption, make available to the Lenders their respective pro rata shares of a corresponding amount. If such payment is not made to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower within 

  
 -40- 








 
three (3) Business Days after such due date, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover, on demand, from each Lender to which any amount which was made available pursuant to the
preceding sentence, such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against the Borrower.

 2.16 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 participations in L/C Obligations or Swingline Loans held by it resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such Loans or
participations and accrued interest thereon greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at
face value) participations in the Loans and subparticipations in the L/C Obligations and Swingline Loans 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: 

(i) if any such participations or subparticipations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is
recovered, such participations or subparticipations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and 

(ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to
and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender), (y) the application of Cash Collateral provided for in Section 2.24 or (z) any
payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or subparticipations in L/C Obligations or Swingline Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any
Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). 
 The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the
extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as
if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. 
 2.17 Change in Law. (a) If any
Change in Law shall: 
 (i) 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; 
 (ii) impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or
similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Recipient that is not otherwise included
in the determination of the Eurodollar Rate; or 
 (iii) impose on such Recipient any other condition; 

  
 -41- 








 and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Recipient, by an amount that such
Recipient deems to be material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining Eurodollar Loans or issuing or participating in Letters of Credit, or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, the
Borrower shall promptly pay such Recipient, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Recipient for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable. If any Recipient becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts
pursuant to this paragraph, it shall promptly notify the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled. 

(b) If any Lender shall have determined that any Change in Law regarding capital adequacy or liquidity or in the interpretation or application
thereof or compliance by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy or liquidity (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the
date hereof shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or under or in respect of any Letter of Credit to a level below that which such
Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then
from time to time, after submission by such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of a written request therefor, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or
such corporation for such reduction. 
 (c) A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted by any
Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to
this Section for any amounts incurred more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided that, if the circumstances giving rise to such claim
have a retroactive effect, then such nine-month period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect. The obligations of the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of
the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. 
 2.18 Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of
any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall 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 2.18) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been
made. 
 (b) The Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of
the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for, Other Taxes. 
 (c) As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to
a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.18, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the
return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 

  
 -42- 








 (d) The Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within 10 days after
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 2.18) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or
deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable 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 as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest
error. 
 (e) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 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 Loan Parties to do so),
(ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.6(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
Section 2.18(e). 
 (f) (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 Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably
requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent,
shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower 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 2.18(f)(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 Borrower 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 Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt
from U.S. federal backup withholding tax; 

  
 -43- 








 (B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so,
deliver to the Borrower 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 Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable: 
 (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 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 F-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 Borrower 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 
 (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, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-2 or Exhibit F-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 F-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 Borrower 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 Borrower 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 Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to
be made; and 
 (D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax
imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section


  
 -44- 








 
1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent
to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D),
“FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. 
 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 promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. 

(g) If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been
indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.18 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.18), 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 2.18 with respect to the 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 Section 2.18(g) (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 to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Section 2.18(g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 2.18(g) 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 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. 

(h) Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.18 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 Revolving Commitments and the Swingline Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations under any Loan Document. 

(i) For purposes of this Section 2.18, the term “Lender” includes the Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender. 

2.19 Indemnity. The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender for, and to hold each Lender harmless from, any loss or expense that such
Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by the Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of Eurodollar Loans after the Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by the Borrower in making any prepayment of or conversion from Eurodollar Loans after the Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or (c) the making
of a prepayment of Eurodollar Loans on a day that is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. Such indemnification may include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on
the amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed, converted or continued, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of such Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow,
convert or continue, the Interest Period that would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate of interest for such Loans provided for herein (excluding, however, the Applicable Margin included therein, if any)
over 

  
 -45- 








 
(ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) that would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading
banks in the interbank eurodollar market. A certificate as to any amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted to the Borrower by any Lender shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This covenant shall survive the termination of
this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder for a period of 180 days. 
 2.20 Change of Lending
Office. Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.17 or 2.18 with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to
overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Loans affected by such event with the object of avoiding the consequences of such event; provided, that in the sole judgment of such Lender, such
designation (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.17 or 2.18, as the case may be, in the future, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed costs or expense and would not
otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation. 

2.21 Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender (a) is entitled to additional compensation under Section 2.17 or
2.18, (b) becomes a Defaulting Lender or (c) does not consent to any proposed amendment, supplement, modification, consent or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document that requires the consent of each of
the Lenders or each of the Lenders affected thereby (so long as the consent of the Required Lenders has been obtained), the Borrower, at its sole expense and effort, may cause such Lender to (and, if the Borrower so demands, such Lender shall)
assign all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more replacement financial institutions; provided that (i) such replacement does not conflict with any Requirement of Law, (ii) in the case of any such replacement
resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.17 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.18, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments, (iii) 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, (iv) the Borrower shall be liable to such replaced Lender under Section 2.19 if any Eurodollar Loan
owing to such replaced Lender shall be purchased other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, (v) the replacement financial institution shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender
and the Issuing Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), (vi) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.6, (vii) until such time as such
replacement shall be consummated, the Borrower shall pay all additional amounts (if any) required pursuant to Section 2.17 or 2.18, as the case may be, and (viii) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any
rights that the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the
circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment shall cease to apply. 
 2.22 Extension Options; Repricing Option.

 (a) [Reserved] 
 (b)
Extension Options. (i) The Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent (such notice, an “Initial Extension Notice”) not earlier than 60 days prior and not later than 30 days prior to the Initial Revolving
Termination Date, elect to extend the Initial Revolving Termination Date for an additional twelve (12) months, subject to the terms of this Section 2.22(b). The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such Extension Notice
promptly to the Lenders following its receipt thereof. As conditions precedent to such extension, the Borrowers shall, on or prior to the Initial Revolving Termination Date, satisfy each of the following requirements for such extension to become
effective: 

  
 -46- 








 (A) the Administrative Agent shall have received an Initial Extension Notice
within the period required under clause (i) above; 
 (B) on the date of such Initial Extension Notice and
both immediately before and immediately after giving effect to such extension of the Revolving Termination Date, no Default, Event of Default, Trigger Event or Adjusted Trigger Event shall have occurred and be continuing; 

(C) the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender, an extension fee in an amount
equal to 0.25% of the Revolving Commitment of such Lender on the Initial Revolving Termination Date; and 
 (D) each of the
representations and warranties made by any Loan Party in or pursuant to the Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date of such extension, before and after giving effect to such extension, as if made on
and as of such date. 
 (ii) The Borrower may, from time to time, request that all or a portion of the Revolving Commitments
existing at the time of such request (each, an “Existing Commitment”, and Loans related thereto, “Existing Loans”) of any Class (an “Existing Class”) be converted to extend the termination date
thereof and the scheduled maturity date(s) of any payment of principal with respect to all or a portion of any principal amount of such Existing Loans (any such Existing Loans which have been so extended, “Extended Loans”, and any
such Existing Commitments so extended, “Extended Commitments”), provided that any such extension may only be requested after exercise of an extension pursuant to Section 2.22(b)(i) or after the date such extension
may no longer be requested. Prior to entering into any Extension Amendment with respect to any Extended Commitments, the Borrower shall provide a notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders of
the applicable Existing Class and which such request shall be offered equally to all such Lenders) (an “Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Commitments to be established thereunder, which terms shall
be identical to the Revolving Commitments of the Existing Class from which they are to be extended except that (w) the scheduled final termination date of such Extended Commitments may be delayed to later dates than the scheduled final
termination date of such Existing Class, (x) (A) the interest rates, interest margins, rate floors and upfront fees with respect to the Extended Commitment may be different than those for the Existing Commitments and/or (B) additional
fees may be payable to the Lenders providing such Extended Commitments in addition to or in lieu of any of the items contemplated by the preceding clause (A), in each case, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment,
(y) (A) the undrawn revolving commitment fee rate with respect to such Extended Commitments may be different than such rate for such Existing Commitments and (B) the Extension Amendment may provide for other covenants and terms that
apply to any period after the latest Revolving Termination Date in effect prior to giving effect to such Extension Amendment, and (z) the terms of any Extended Commitments may also contain other differences from the Existing Class from which
they are to be extended as are approved by the Administrative Agent, acting reasonably, so long as such differences are not material and not adverse to the Lenders of such Existing Class; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Section 2.22(b) or otherwise, (1) the borrowing and repayment (other than in connection with a permanent repayment and termination of commitments as set forth in Section 2.6, treatment of which may be
agreed between the Borrower and the Lenders relating to an 

  
 -47- 








 
Extension Series, or upon the Revolving Termination Date of a Class of Revolving Commitments) of Loans with respect to any Extended Commitments shall be made on a pro rata basis with any
borrowings and repayments of the Existing Loans of the Class of Existing Commitments from which they were extended (the mechanics for which may be implemented through the applicable Extension Amendment and may include technical changes related to
the borrowing, replacement letter of credit and swingline procedures of such Class of Existing Commitments) and (2) assignments and participations of Extended Commitments and Extended Loans shall be governed by the same assignment and
participation provisions applicable to Existing Classes set forth in Section 10.6. No Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its Revolving Commitments of any Existing Class converted into Extended Commitments pursuant
to any Extension Request. Any Extended Commitments of any Extension Series shall constitute a separate Class of Revolving Commitments from the Existing Class from which they were converted and from any other Existing Commitments. 

(iii) The Borrower shall provide the applicable Extension Request at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date on
which Lenders under the applicable Existing Class or Existing Classes are requested to respond, and shall agree to such procedures, if any, as may be established by, or acceptable to, the Administrative Agent, in each case acting reasonably, to
accomplish the purpose of this Section 2.22(b). Any Lender (an “Extending Lender”) wishing to have all or a portion of its Revolving Commitments of the Existing Class or Existing Classes subject to such Extension Request
converted into Extended Commitments shall notify the Administrative Agent (an “Extension Election”) on or prior to the date specified in such Extension Request of the amount of its Revolving Commitments of the Existing Class or
Existing Classes subject to such Extension Request that it has elected to convert into Extended Commitments (subject to any minimum denomination requirements imposed by the Administrative Agent); provided that if any Lenders of an Existing
Class fail to respond, such Lenders will be deemed to have declined to extend their Revolving Commitments. In the event that the aggregate amount of Revolving Commitments of the Existing Class or Existing Classes subject to Extension Elections
exceeds the amount of Extended Commitments requested pursuant to the Extension Request, Revolving Commitments of the Existing Class or Existing Classes subject to Extension Elections shall be converted to Extended Commitments on a pro rata basis
based on the amount of Revolving Commitments included in each such Extension Election (subject to rounding). Notwithstanding the conversion of any Existing Commitment into an Extended Commitment, such Extended Commitment shall be treated identically
to all other Revolving Commitments for purposes of the obligations of a Lender in respect of Swingline Loans under Section 2.4 and Letters of Credit under Section 3, except that the applicable Extension Amendment may provide that the
date on which the Swingline Loan has to be repaid and/or the last day for issuing Letters of Credit may be extended and the related obligations to make Swingline Loans and issue Letters of Credit may be continued (pursuant to mechanics to be
specified in the applicable Extension Amendment) so long as the Swingline Lender and/or the Issuing Lender, as applicable, have consented to such extensions (it being understood that no consent of any other Lender shall be required in connection
with any such extension). 
 (iv) Extended Commitments shall be established pursuant to an amendment (an “Extension
Amendment”) to this Agreement (which, except to the extent expressly contemplated by the penultimate sentence of this Section 2.22(b)(iv) and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 10.1, shall
not require the consent of any Lender other than the Extending Lenders with respect to the Extended Commitments established thereby) executed by the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Extending Lenders. No Extension Amendment shall
provide for any tranche of Extended Commitments in an aggregate principal amount that is less than $25,000,000. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.22(b) and without limiting the generality or applicability of
Section 10.1 to any Section 2.22(b) Additional 

  
 -48- 








 
Amendments, any Extension Amendment may provide for additional terms and/or additional amendments other than those referred to or contemplated above (any such additional amendment, a
“Section 2.22(b) Additional Amendment”) to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided that such Section 2.22(b) Additional Amendments are within the requirements of Section 2.22(b)(ii) and do not
become effective prior to the time that such Section 2.22(b) Additional Amendments have been consented to (including, without limitation, pursuant to consents applicable to holders of any Extended Commitments provided for in any Extension
Amendment) by such of the Lenders, Loan Parties and other parties (if any) as may be required in order for such Section 2.22(b) Additional Amendments to become effective in accordance with Section 10.1. Such Extension Amendment
shall provide that each of the representations and warranties made by an Loan Party in or pursuant to the Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date of such extension, before and after giving effect to
such extension, as if made on and as of such date. In connection with any Extension Amendment, the Borrower shall deliver an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent (i) as to the enforceability of such Extension
Amendment, this Agreement as amended thereby, and such of the other Loan Documents (if any) as may be amended thereby (in the case of such other Loan Documents as contemplated by the immediately preceding sentence), (ii) to the effect that such
Extension Amendment, including the Extended Commitments provided for therein, does not conflict with or violate the terms and provisions of Section 10.1 of this Agreement and (iii) covering such other matters as the Administrative
Agent may reasonably request in connection therewith. 
 (c) Repricing Option. (i) The Borrower may at any time and from time to
time request that the Applicable Margin be modified. In order to modify the Applicable Margin pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall provide a notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders)
(a “Repricing Request”) setting forth the proposed new Applicable Margin to be established. No Lender shall have any obligation to agree to continue to have Revolving Commitments under this Agreement to which the new Applicable
Margin shall apply. 
 (ii) The Borrower shall provide the applicable Repricing Request at least ten (10) Business Days
prior to the date on which Lenders are requested to respond, and shall agree to such procedures, if any, as may be established by, or acceptable to, the Administrative Agent, in each case acting reasonably, to accomplish the purpose of this
Section 2.22(c). Any Lender (an “Accepting Lender”) wishing to have all or a portion of its Revolving Commitments subject to such Repricing Request shall notify the Administrative Agent (a “Repricing
Election”) on or prior to the date specified in such Repricing Request of the amount of its Revolving Commitments that it has elected to continue subject to the new Applicable Margin (the “Repriced Commitments”);
provided that if any Lenders fail to respond, such Lenders will be deemed to have declined to continue their Revolving Commitments. In the event that the aggregate amount of Repriced Commitments is less than the Total Revolving Commitments as
then in effect, the Borrower may arrange for any such shortfall to be provided by one or more Lenders (each Lender so agreeing to an increase in its Revolving Commitment, an “Increasing Repriced Lender”), and/or by one or more new
banks, financial institutions or other entities (each such new bank, financial institution or other entity, a “New Repriced Lender”), increasing their existing Revolving Commitments or extending Revolving Commitments, as the case
may be; provided, that (A) the amount of increased Revolving Commitment of each Increasing Repriced Lender and each New Repriced Lender shall be subject to the approval of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and
the Swingline Lender and (B)(1) in the case of an Increasing Repriced Lender, the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lender and such Increasing Repriced Lender shall have executed an Increasing Lender Agreement
and (2) in the case of a New Repriced Lender, the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lender and such New Repriced Lender shall have executed a New Lender Agreement. No consent of any Lender (other than the
Lenders participating in such repricing) shall be required for any change in the Applicable Margin pursuant to this Section 2.22(c). 

  
 -49- 








 (iii) The modification of the definition of Applicable Margin shall be
established pursuant to an amendment (an “Repricing Amendment”) to this Agreement (which notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 10.1, shall not require the consent of any Lender other than the
Accepting Lenders, Increasing Repriced Lenders and New Repriced Lenders) executed by the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent, the Accepting Lenders, the Increasing Repriced Lenders and the New Repriced Lenders. No such Repricing Amendment shall
become effective unless (w) no Default, Event of Default, Trigger Event or Adjusted Trigger Event shall have occurred and be continuing or would result after giving effect to such increase, (x) the Borrower shall have paid
all fees and other amounts (including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 10.5) due and payable by the Borrower in connection with such Repricing Amendment, (y) each of the representations and warranties made by any Loan Party
in or pursuant to the Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date of such Repricing Amendment, before and after giving effect to such Repricing Amendment, as if made on and as of such date, and
(z) the Administrative Agent shall have received (1) documents consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date as to the corporate power and authority of the Loan Parties to enter into the Repricing Amendment, Increasing Lender
Agreement and New Lender Agreement, as applicable, and to continue perform their obligations under the Loan Documents and (2) the Borrower shall have delivered or caused to be delivered customary legal opinions as reasonably requested by the
Administrative Agent in connection with any such transaction, including (i) as to the enforceability of such Repricing Amendment, this Agreement as amended thereby, and such of the other Loan Documents (if any) as may be amended thereby (in the case
of such other Loan Documents as contemplated by the immediately preceding sentence), (ii) to the effect that such Repricing Amendment does not conflict with or violate the terms and provisions of Section 10.1 of this Agreement and
(iii) covering such other matters as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in connection therewith. 
 (iv) On
the effective date of any Repricing Amendment, (A) the Revolving Commitments of any Lender that is not an Accepting Lender with respect to such Repricing Amendment shall be permanently reduced to zero and terminated, (B) each relevant
Accepting Lender, Increasing Repriced Lender and New Repriced Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the other Lenders, such amounts in immediately available funds as the Administrative Agent shall determine as
being required in order to cause, after giving effect to such Repricing Amendment and the use of such amounts to make payments to such other Lenders, each Lender’s portion of the outstanding Revolving Loans of all the Lenders to equal its
Revolving Percentage of such outstanding Revolving Loans (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the repayment in full of the principal on the Loans of any Lender that is not an Accepting Lender), (C) to the extent that the Total Revolving
Extensions of Credit would exceed the Total Revolving Commitments after giving effect to any Repricing Amendment, the Borrower shall immediately prepay Loans and/or Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations in an amount not less than the applicable
Minimum Collateral Amount multiplied by such excess amount, (D) the Borrower shall be deemed to have repaid and reborrowed all outstanding Revolving Loans as of the date of any Repricing Amendment (with such reborrowing to consist of the Types
of Revolving Loans, with related Interest Periods if applicable, specified in a notice delivered by the Borrower, in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.2) and (E) the participations in outstanding Letters of Credit and
Swingline Loans shall be adjusted to reflect the then-applicable Revolving Percentage of each Lenders. The deemed payments made pursuant to clause (D) of the immediately preceding sentence shall be accompanied by (1) payment of all accrued
interest on the amount prepaid and, in respect of each Eurodollar Loan, shall be subject to indemnification by the Borrower pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.19 if the deemed payment occurs other than on the last day of the related
Interest Periods and (2) payment of all other amounts owed to any Lender that is not an Accepting Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. 

  
 -50- 








 (v) Nothing contained in this Section 2.22(c) shall constitute, or
otherwise be deemed to be, a commitment on the part of any Lender to increase its Revolving Commitment hereunder at any time. 
 2.23
Defaulting Lenders. 
 (a) Defaulting Lender Adjustments. 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: 

(i) 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. 
 (ii)
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
Section 8 or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.7 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows:
first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Lender or to the
Swingline Lender hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize the Issuing Lender’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 2.24; fourth, as the 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, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so
determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement
and (y) Cash Collateralize the Issuing Lender’s future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 2.24;
sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender against
such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of
any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, 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 or with respect to drawings made under Letters of Credit in respect of which such Defaulting
Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be
applied solely to pay the Loans of, and the amount of such drawings owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or the amount of such drawings owed to, such Defaulting Lender until
such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in L/C Obligations and Swingline Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata 

  
 -51- 








 
in accordance with the Revolving Commitments without giving effect to Section 2.23(a)(iv). 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 or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.23(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

 (iii) Certain Fees. (A) No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any fees under
Section 2.5(a) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender). 

(B) Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive fees under Section 3.3(a) for any period during which that
Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Revolving Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 2.24. 

(C) With respect to any fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (A) or (B) above, the
Borrower shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in L/C Obligations or Swingline Loans that has been
reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv) below, (y) pay to the Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender, as applicable, the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable
to the Issuing Lender’s or the Swingline Lender’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee. 

(iv) Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s
participation in L/C Obligations and Swingline Loans shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment)
but only to the extent that (x) the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless the Borrower shall have otherwise notified the Administrative Agent at such time, the Borrower shall
be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time), and (y) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Revolving Extensions of Credit of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting
Lender’s Revolving Commitment. No reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a
Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation. 
 (v)
Cash Collateral, Repayment of Swingline Loans. If the reallocation described in clause (iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under
law, (x) first, prepay Swingline Loans in an amount equal to the Swingline Lender’s Fronting Exposure and (y) second, Cash Collateralize the Issuing Lender’s Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in
Section 2.24. 
 (b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and the
Issuing Lender agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein
(which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding 

  
 -52- 








 
Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and
Swingline Loans to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with the Revolving Commitments under the applicable Facility (without giving effect to Section 2.23(a)(iv)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender;
provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent
otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. 

(c) New Swingline Loans/Letters of Credit. So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (i) the Swingline Lender shall not be
required to fund any Swingline Loans unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect to such Swingline Loan and (ii) the Issuing Lender shall not be required to issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of
Credit unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto. 
 2.24 Cash Collateral. 

(a) Delivery of Cash Collateral. If (i) the Issuing Lender has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of
Credit and such amount has not been reimbursed pursuant to Section 3.5, (ii) as of the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the Revolving Termination Date there are any issued and outstanding Letters of Credit that have
not been Cash Collateralized, (iii) the Borrower shall be required to provide Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 8, or (iv) there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, the Borrower shall immediately (in the case of clause
(iii) above), or within one (1) Business Day following the written request of the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) (in all other cases), provide Cash Collateral in an amount not less
than the applicable Minimum Collateral Amount (determined in the case of clause (iv) above after giving effect to Section 2.23(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by the applicable Defaulting Lender). In addition to the
requirements pursuant to clauses (i) through (iv) above, the Borrower shall provide Cash Collateral in an amount not less than the applicable Minimum Collateral Amount on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in other
provisions of this Agreement. 
 (b) Grant of Security Interest. The Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender,
such Defaulting Lender, hereby grants to (and subjects to the control of) the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and the Lenders, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all
Cash Collateral as security for the obligations which such Cash Collateral may be applied pursuant to Section 2.24(c). If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person
other than the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lender as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the Minimum Collateral Amount, the Borrower will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or
provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency (after giving effect to any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender). All Cash Collateral shall be maintained in a blocked,
non-interest-bearing deposit account at the Administrative Agent. The Borrower shall pay on demand therefor from time to time all customary account opening, activity and other administrative charges in connection with the maintenance and
disbursement of Cash Collateral. 
 (c) Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash
Collateral provided in respect of Letters of Credit shall be held and applied to the satisfaction of the specific L/C Obligations, obligations to fund participations therein (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any
interest accrued on such obligation) and other obligations for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein. 

  
 -53- 








 (d) Termination of Requirement. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof)
provided to reduce the Issuing Lender’s Fronting Exposure or to secure other obligations shall no longer be required to be held as Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.24 following (i) the elimination of the applicable
Fronting Exposure or other obligations giving rise thereto (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender), or (ii) the determination by the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lender that there exists
excess Cash Collateral; provided that, subject to Section 2.23 the Person providing Cash Collateral and the Issuing Lender may agree that Cash Collateral shall be held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other
obligations. 
 2.25 Trigger Event. 

(a) In the event that a Trigger Event, Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing: 

(i) the Revolving Commitments and the Revolving Commitment Period shall be suspended and none of the Administrative Agent, the
Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lender or any Lender shall make an extension of credit hereunder; and 
 (ii) the
Administrative Agent shall direct the Conditional Controlled Account Bank to transfer any amounts on deposit in the Conditional Controlled Account, or any amounts that are deposited in the Conditional Controlled Account during such period, to the
Account. 
 (b) In the Event that a Trigger Event or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent is

of Default, in the following order: 
 First, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses
and other amounts (including fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent) payable to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such; 

Second, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid fees (including pursuant to Sections 2.5
and 3.3), interest on the Loans, L/C Obligations and other Obligations, indemnities and other amounts (other than principal) payable to the Lenders, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Lender (including fees, charges and disbursements of
counsel to the respective Lenders, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Lender), ratably among them in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Second payable to them; 

Third, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting unpaid principal of the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations, ratably
among the Lenders, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Lender in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Third held by them; and 

Fourth, to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender, to Cash Collateralize that portion of L/C Obligations
comprised of the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit to the extent not otherwise Cash Collateralized by the Borrower in an amount not less than the Minimum Collateral Amount. 

  
 -54- 








 (c) In the Event that a Trigger Event or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the
Borrower shall cause each of its direct and indirect Subsidiaries (other than the ESH Parties) to make the maximum amount of cash distributions to its respective parent entity that it is not prohibited from making under the terms of the Subsidiary
Loan Documents directly into the Account; 
 (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 2.25, as long as no Trigger Event,
Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent shall direct that all amounts in the Account be remitted to the Conditional Controlled Account. 

2.26 Adjusted Trigger Event. 

(a) In the event that an Adjusted Trigger Event, Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing: 

(i) the Revolving Commitments and the Revolving Commitment Period shall be suspended and none of the Administrative Agent,

an Event of Default, in the following order: 
 First, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities,
expenses and other amounts (including fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent) payable to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such; 

Second, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid fees (including pursuant to Sections 2.5 and 3.3),
interest on the Loans, L/C Obligations and other Obligations, indemnities and other amounts (other than principal) payable to the Lenders, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Lender (including fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the
respective Lenders, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Lender), ratably among them in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Second payable to them; 

Third, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting unpaid principal of the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations, ratably among
the Lenders, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Lender in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Third held by them; and 

Fourth, to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender, to Cash Collateralize that portion of L/C Obligations comprised

 -55- 








 (c) In the Event that an Adjusted Trigger Event or an Event of Default has occurred and is

 (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 2.25, as long as no

 SECTION 3. LETTERS OF
CREDIT 
 3.1 L/C Commitment. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Issuing Lender, in reliance on the
agreements of the other Lenders set forth in Section 3.4(a), agrees to issue letters of credit ( “Letters of Credit”) for the account of the Borrower on any Business Day during the Revolving Commitment Period in such
form as may be approved from time to time by the Issuing Lender; provided that the Issuing Lender shall have no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance, (i) the L/C Obligations would exceed the L/C
Commitment or (ii) the aggregate amount of the Available Revolving Commitments would be less than zero. Each Letter of Credit shall (i) be denominated in Dollars and (ii) expire no later than the earlier of (x) the first
anniversary of its date of issuance and (y) the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the Revolving Termination Date, provided that any Letter of Credit with a one-year term may provide for the renewal thereof for additional
one-year periods (which shall in no event extend beyond the date referred to in clause (y) above). 
 (b) The Issuing Lender shall not
at any time be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit if (i) such issuance would conflict with, or cause the Issuing Lender or any L/C Participant to exceed any limits imposed by, any applicable Requirement of Law or (ii) any Lender is at
that time a Defaulting Lender, unless the Issuing Lender has entered into arrangements, including the delivery of Cash Collateral, satisfactory to the Issuing Lender (in its sole discretion) with the Borrower or such Lender to eliminate the Issuing
Lender’s actual or potential Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.23(a)(iv)) with respect to the Defaulting Lender arising from either the Letter of Credit then proposed to be issued or that Letter of Credit and all
other L/C Obligations as to which the Issuing Lender has actual or potential Fronting Exposure, as it may elect in its sole discretion. 

3.2 Procedure for Issuance of Letter of Credit. The Borrower may from time to time request that the Issuing Lender issue a Letter of
Credit by delivering to the Issuing Lender at its address for notices specified herein an Application therefor, completed to the satisfaction of the Issuing Lender, and such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as the
Issuing Lender may request. Upon receipt of any Application, the Issuing Lender will process such Application and the certificates, documents and other papers and information delivered to it in connection therewith in accordance with its customary
procedures and shall promptly issue the Letter of Credit requested thereby (but in no event shall the Issuing Lender be required to issue any Letter of Credit earlier than three (3) Business Days after its receipt of the Application therefor
and all such other certificates, documents and other papers and 

  
 -56- 








 
information relating thereto) by issuing the original of such Letter of Credit to the beneficiary thereof or as otherwise may be agreed to by the Issuing Lender and the Borrower. The Issuing
Lender shall furnish a copy of such Letter of Credit to the Borrower promptly following the issuance thereof. The Issuing Lender shall promptly furnish to the Administrative Agent, which shall in turn promptly furnish to the Lenders, notice of the
issuance of each Letter of Credit (including the amount thereof). 
 3.3 Fees and Other Charges. (a) The Borrower will pay a fee
on all outstanding Letters of Credit at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Margin then in effect with respect to Eurodollar Loans, shared ratably among the Lenders and payable quarterly in arrears on each Fee Payment Date after the issuance
date. 
 (b) In addition, the Borrower shall pay to the Issuing Lender for its own account a fronting fee at a rate separately agreed between
the Borrower and the Issuing Lender on the undrawn and unexpired amount of each Letter of Credit, payable quarterly in arrears on each Fee Payment Date after the issuance date. 

(c) In addition to the foregoing fees, the Borrower shall pay or reimburse the Issuing Lender for such normal and customary costs and expenses
as are incurred or charged by the Issuing Lender in issuing, negotiating, effecting payment under, amending or otherwise administering any Letter of Credit. 

3.4 L/C Participations. (a) The Issuing Lender irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each L/C Participant, and, to
induce the Issuing Lender to issue Letters of Credit, each L/C Participant irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from the Issuing Lender, on the terms and conditions set forth below, for such L/C
Participant’s own account and risk an undivided interest equal to such L/C Participant’s Revolving Percentage in the Issuing Lender’s obligations and rights under and in respect of each Letter of Credit and the amount of each draft
paid by the Issuing Lender thereunder. Each L/C Participant agrees with the Issuing Lender that, if a draft is paid under any Letter of Credit for which the Issuing Lender is not reimbursed in full by the Borrower in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement (or in the event that any reimbursement received by the Issuing Lender shall be required to be returned by it at any time), such L/C Participant shall pay (and the Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral provided for this
purpose) to the Issuing Lender upon demand at the Issuing Lender’s address for notices specified herein an amount equal to such L/C Participant’s Revolving Percentage of the amount that is not so reimbursed (or is so returned). Each L/C
Participant’s obligation to pay such amount shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such L/C Participant may have
against the Issuing Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the failure to satisfy any of the other conditions specified in Section 5,

from any L/C Participant its pro rata share of such payment in accordance with Section 3.4(a), the Issuing Lender receives any payment related to such Letter of Credit (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds
of collateral applied thereto by the Issuing Lender), or any payment of interest on account thereof, the Issuing Lender will distribute to such L/C Participant its pro rata share thereof; provided, however, that in the event that any
such payment received by the Issuing Lender shall be required to be returned by the Issuing Lender, such L/C Participant shall return to the Issuing Lender the portion thereof previously distributed by the Issuing Lender to it.

the Borrower receives such notice. Each such payment shall be made to the Issuing Lender at its address for notices referred to herein in Dollars and in immediately available funds. Interest shall be payable on any such amounts from the date on

the Issuing Lender that the Issuing Lender shall not be responsible for, and the Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligations under Section 3.5 shall not be affected by, among other things, the validity or genuineness of documents or of any
endorsements thereon, even though such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among the Borrower and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may
be transferred or any claims whatsoever of the Borrower against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such transferee. The Issuing Lender shall not be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or
delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit, except for errors or omissions found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross

negligence or willful misconduct, shall be binding on the Borrower and shall not result in any liability of the Issuing Lender to the Borrower. 

3.7 Letter of Credit Payments. If any draft shall be presented for payment under any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender shall
promptly notify the Borrower of the date and amount thereof. The responsibility of the Issuing Lender to the Borrower in connection with any draft presented for payment under any Letter of Credit shall, in addition to any payment obligation
expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit, be limited to determining that the documents (including each draft) delivered under such Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment are substantially in conformity with such Letter of

entry thereof; or 
 (j) any provision of any Loan Document, at any time after its execution and delivery and for any reason other than as

extent such losses are covered by a lender’s title insurance policy and such insurer has not denied coverage;

thereunder until thirty (30) days following the expiration of any applicable cure period under the applicable Operating Lease. 

  
 -80- 








 then, and in any such event, (A) if such event is an Event of Default specified in clause (i) or

event is any other Event of Default, either or both of the following actions may be taken: (i) with the consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent may, or upon the request of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall,

SECTION 9. THE AGENTS 

9.1 Appointment. Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Administrative Agent as the agent of such Lender under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and each such Lender irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent, in such capacity, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise
such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any
provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants,
functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent. 

9.2 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by
or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys in-fact
selected by it with reasonable care. 
 9.3 Exculpatory Provisions. Neither any Agent nor any of their respective officers,
directors, employees, agents, advisors, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be (i) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except
to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from its or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (ii) responsible in any
manner to any of the Lenders for any 

  
 -81- 








 
recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Loan Party or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any certificate, report, statement
or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Agents under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any failure of any Loan Party a party thereto to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. The Agents shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance
or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party. 

9.4 Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon
any instrument, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy or email message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the
proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to any Loan Party), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of
any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to
take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be
indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting,
or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders), and such request and any action taken or failure to act
pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans. 
 9.5 Notice of Default. The
Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender or Loan Party referring to this Agreement, describing such
Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative
Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders); provided that unless and until the Administrative
Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best
interests of the Lenders. 
 9.6 Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Agents
nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates have made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by any Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of a
Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Agents that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other
Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their
affiliates and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and
information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in 

  
 -82- 








 
taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property,
financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative
Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any
affiliate of a Loan Party that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates. 

9.7 Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify each Agent and its officers, directors, employees, affiliates, agents, advisors and
controlling persons (each, an “Agent Indemnitee”) (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), ratably according to their respective Aggregate Exposure Percentages in
effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Revolving Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance
with such Aggregate Exposure Percentages immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may
at any time (whether before or after the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent Indemnitee in any way relating to or arising out of, the Revolving Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents
or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by such Agent Indemnitee under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no
Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of
competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent Indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts
payable hereunder. 
 9.8 Agent in Its Individual Capacity. Each Agent and its affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and
generally engage in any kind of business with any Loan Party as though such Agent were not an Agent. With respect to its Loans made or renewed by it and with respect to any Letter of Credit issued or participated in by it, each Agent shall have the
same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include each Agent in its individual
capacity. 
 9.9 Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon 30 days’
notice to the Lenders and the Borrower. If the Administrative Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a
successor, which successor agent shall (unless an Event of Default under Section 8.1(a) or Section 8.1(g) with respect to the Borrower shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval by the Borrower (which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor agent
effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent
or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans. 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 Administrative Agent
gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Lender, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an


  
 -83- 








 
Affiliate of any such bank, which successor agent shall (unless (i) an Event of Default under Section 8.1(a) or Section 8.1(g) with respect to the Borrower shall have
occurred and be continuing or (ii) such successor agent is a Lender) be subject to approval by the Borrower (which approval shall not be withheld or delayed by the Borrower except for a bona fide valid reason). Upon the acceptance of its
appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be
discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by any Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between such Borrower and such successor. After
the Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.5 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any
of them while it was acting as Administrative Agent. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date that is 30 days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring
Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as a successor agent is appointed as
provided for above. 
 9.10 Lead Arrangers; Joint Bookrunners; Syndication Agents. No Lead Arranger, Joint Bookrunner or Syndication
Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities hereunder in its capacity as such. 
 9.11 Agents May File Proofs of Claim. In case
of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C Obligation shall then be due and payable as
herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise: 

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C Obligations and
all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the Swingline Lender, the Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent (including any claim
for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the Swingline Lender, the Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the Swingline
Lender, the Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and 
 (b) to collect
and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; 
 and any custodian, receiver, assignee,
trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the
Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Lender, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and
advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.5(b) and 10.5. 

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

waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates (which waiver shall be effective with the consent of the Required Lenders) and (y) that any amendment or modification of defined terms used in the financial covenants in
this Agreement shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest or fees for purposes of this clause (i)) or extend the scheduled date of any payment thereof, or increase the amount or extend the expiration date of any Lender’s Revolving
Commitment, in each case without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; (ii) eliminate or reduce the voting rights of any Lender under this Section 10.1 without the written consent of such Lender;

and the Majority in Interest requisite number or percentage in interest of the affected Class of Lenders that would be required to consent thereto under this Section if such Class of Lenders were the only Class of Lenders hereunder at the time. Any
such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or modification shall apply equally to each of the Lenders and shall be binding upon the Loan Parties, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and all future holders of the Loans. In the case of any

 provided that any notice, request or demand to or upon the Administrative Agent or the Lenders shall not be
effective until received. 
 Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic
communications pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices pursuant to Section 2 unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the applicable

procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications. 
 10.3 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure to exercise and
no delay in exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any
right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive
of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law. 
 10.4 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All
representations and warranties made hereunder, in the other Loan Documents and in any document, certificate or statement delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of

 -87- 








 10.5 Payment of Expenses; Damages Waiver. The Borrower agrees (a) to pay or reimburse
the Lead Arrangers and the Administrative Agent for all their reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel which shall be limited to one primary counsel for the Administrative Agent, one
local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction and, in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest where the Person affected by such conflict informs you of such conflict and thereafter, after receipt of your consent (which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), retains its own counsel, of another firm of counsel (and local counsel, if applicable) for such affected Person) incurred in connection with the syndication, development, preparation and
execution of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith, and the consummation and administration of the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent and filing and recording fees and expenses, with statements with respect to the foregoing to be submitted to the Borrower prior
to the Closing Date (in the case of amounts to be paid on the Closing Date) and from time to time thereafter on a quarterly basis or such other periodic basis as the Administrative Agent shall deem appropriate, (b) to pay or reimburse the
Administrative Agent for all its costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or preservation of any rights under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, including the fees and disbursements of
counsel (including the allocated fees and expenses of in-house counsel) to the Administrative Agent, (c) to pay, indemnify, and hold each Lender, the Swingline Lender, the Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent harmless from, any and all
recording and filing fees and any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, stamp, excise and other taxes, if any, that may be payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution and delivery of, or
consummation or administration of any of the transactions contemplated by, or any amendment, supplement or modification of, or any waiver or consent under or in respect of, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, and
(d) to pay, indemnify, and hold each Lender, each Lead Arranger, the Swingline Lender, the Issuing Lender, the Administrative Agent and their Affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors and
controlling persons (each, an “Indemnitee”) harmless from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature
whatsoever with respect to the syndication, execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents (including any Increasing Lender Agreement or New Lender Agreement) and any such other
documents, including any of the foregoing relating to the use of proceeds of the Loans or the violation of, noncompliance with or liability under, any Environmental Law applicable to the operations of any Group Member or any of the Properties and
the reasonable fees and expenses of one primary counsel, one local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction and, in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest where the Indemnitee affected by such conflict informs you of such conflict
and thereafter, after receipt of your consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), retains its own counsel, of another firm of counsel (and local counsel, if applicable) for such affected Indemnitee in
connection with claims, actions or proceedings by any Indemnitee against any Loan Party under any Loan Document (all the foregoing in this clause (d), collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”), provided, that the Borrower
shall have no obligation hereunder to any Indemnitee with respect to Indemnified Liabilities to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities (i) are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted
from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (ii) arise out of any dispute brought solely by an Indemnitee against another Indemnitee, do not arise out of or relate to any request, act or omission by the Borrower, any
other Loan Party or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates and do not involve the Administrative Agent, in its capacity as administrative agent, or any Lead Arranger, in its capacity as a lead arranger. Without limiting the foregoing,
and to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower 

  
 -88- 








 
agrees not to assert and to cause its Subsidiaries not to assert, and hereby waives and agrees to cause its Subsidiaries to waive, all rights for contribution or any other rights of recovery with
respect to all claims, demands, penalties, fines, liabilities, settlements, damages, costs and expenses of whatever kind or nature, under or related to Environmental Laws, that any of them might have by statute or otherwise against any Indemnitee.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the foregoing indemnity and waiver shall specifically exclude any Indemnified Liabilities and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses
or disbursements relating to (i) Materials of Environmental Concern which are initially placed on, in or under the Property or any surrounding areas, or any violation of Environmental Laws which first occurs, or any condition first created, or
any other acts which first occur, after (x) foreclosure, a deed in lieu of foreclosure or other taking of title to or Property by Lender or its designee, or (y) a foreclosure, assignment in lieu of foreclosure or other taking of title to
the ownership interests of a Mezzanine Borrower by a Mezzanine Lender or its designee or (ii) the circumstances set forth in Section 10.5(d)(i)-(ii) above. All amounts due under this Section 10.5 shall be payable
not later than 10 days after written demand therefor. Statements payable by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 10.5 shall be submitted to Peter Crage, c/o ESA Management, LLC, 11525 North Community House Road, Charlotte, North
Carolina 28277 (Telephone No. (980) 345-1653) (Telecopy No. (980) 345-2090), at the address of the Borrower set forth in Section 10.2, or to such other Person or address as may be hereafter designated by the Borrower in a
written notice to the Administrative Agent. None of any Loan Party or any Indemnitee shall have any 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, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided, however, that nothing contained in this
sentence will limit the indemnity and reimbursement obligations of the Borrower set forth in this Section. The agreements in this Section 10.5 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the repayment of the Loans and all other
amounts payable hereunder. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission
systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. 
 10.6
Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments. (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 (including any
affiliate of the Issuing Lender that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) the Borrower may not 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 the 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. 

(b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees (each, an
“Assignee”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Revolving Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent of: 

(A) the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), provided that (i) the Borrower shall be
deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within fifteen (15) Business Days after having received notice thereof (provided that a second notice shall have been
sent on the tenth (10th) Business Day) and (ii) no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund (as defined below) or,
if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any other Person; 

  
 -89- 








 (B) the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or
delayed); provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; 

(C) the Issuing Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); and 

(D) the Swingline Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). 

(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 or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the
entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Revolving Commitments (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the Revolving Commitments are not in effect, the entire remaining principal outstanding balance of the
assigning Lender’s Loans, the amount of the Revolving Commitments (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the Revolving Commitments are not in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning
Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 and in whole integral multiples of $1,000,000
in excess thereof unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that (1) no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (2) such
amounts shall be aggregated in respect of each Lender and its affiliates or Approved Funds, if any; 
 (B) no assignment
shall be made to (1) Sponsor, any Group Member or any Affiliate or Subsidiary of any of the foregoing, (2) any Defaulting Lender, (3) a natural Person or (4) any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any
of the Persons described in clause (1) or (2) above; 
 (C) in connection with any assignment of rights and
obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the
Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with
the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to
(x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lender and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire
(and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in L/C Obligations and Swingline Loans in accordance with its Revolving Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and
obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of
this Agreement until such compliance occurs; 

  
 -90- 








 (D) (1) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the
Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 and (2) the assigning Lender shall have paid in full any amounts owing by it to the Administrative Agent; and 

(E) the Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire in
which the Assignee designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public information about the Borrower and its Affiliates and their related parties or their respective securities) will
be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and state securities laws. 

For the purposes of this Section 10.6, “Approved Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person) that is
engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business and that is administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an affiliate of a Lender or (c) an
entity or an affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender. 
 (iii) Subject to acceptance and recording
thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) below, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption,
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 and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the
case of an Assignment and Assumption 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 Sections 2.17,
2.18, 2.19 and 10.5); provided, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder
arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 10.6 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 paragraph (c) of this Section. 

(iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its
offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Revolving Commitments and Swingline Commitments of, and principal amount (and stated interest) of
the Loans and L/C Obligations 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 Borrower, the Administrative Agent,
the Issuing Lender and the Lenders may 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 Borrower, the Issuing Lender 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 and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an Assignee, the
Assignee’s completed administrative questionnaire (unless the Assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in 

  
 -91- 








 
paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption
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 as provided in this paragraph. 

(c) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, the Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lender or the Administrative Agent, sell
participations to one or more banks 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 Revolving Commitments 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 Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lender 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 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 may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that (1) requires the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby
pursuant to the proviso to the second sentence of Section 10.1 and (2) directly affects such Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.17, 2.18 and
2.19 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.18(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.18(f) shall be delivered to the
participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of
Sections 2.20 and 2.21 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section, and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.17 or 2.18, with respect to any
participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable
participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.20 with respect to any
Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.7(b) as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant shall be subject to Section 10.7(a) as though it
were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each 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 Revolving 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 Revolving Commitment, Loan, L/C Obligations 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 any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section 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. 

  
 -92- 








 (e) The Borrower, upon receipt of written notice from the relevant Lender, agrees to issue Notes
to any Lender requiring Notes to facilitate transactions of the type described in paragraph (d) above. 
 10.7 Adjustments;
Set-off. (a) Except to the extent that this Agreement or a court order expressly provides for payments to be allocated to a particular Lender, if any Lender (a “Benefitted Lender”) shall receive any payment of all or part of
the Obligations owing to it (other than in connection with an assignment made pursuant to Section 10.6), or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of
the nature referred to in Section 8.1(g), or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of the Obligations owing to such other Lender, such Benefitted
Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of the Obligations owing to each such other Lender, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, as shall be necessary to
cause such Benefitted Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from
such Benefitted Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. 

(b) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, without notice to the Borrower,
any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any Obligations becoming due and payable by the Borrower (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), to apply to the payment
of such Obligations, by setoff or otherwise, any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect,
absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender, any affiliate thereof or any of their respective branches or agencies to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower; provided that in the event that
any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.23 and,
pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lender and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting
Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower
and the Administrative Agent after any such application made by such Lender, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such application. 

10.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate
counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by email or facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of a
manually executed counterpart hereof. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. 

10.9 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that 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 hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable
such provision in any other jurisdiction. 

  
 -93- 








 10.10 Integration. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the entire
agreement of the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender, the Issuing Lender and the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the
Administrative Agent or any Lender relative to the subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents. 

10.11 GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND
CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 
 10.12 Submission To Jurisdiction; Waivers. The
Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby irrevocably and unconditionally: 
 (a) submits for itself and its property in any
legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the exclusive general jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New
York in New York County, the courts of the United States for the Southern District of New York, and appellate courts from any thereof; 
 (b)
consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an
inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same; 
 (c) agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be
effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to the Borrower, as the case may be at its address set forth in Section 10.2 or at such other address of
which the Administrative Agent shall have been notified pursuant thereto; and 
 (d) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to
effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right of the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender, the Issuing Lender or any other Lender to sue or bring an enforcement action relating to this Agreement or any
other Loan Document, including any such action or proceeding in connection with the exercise of remedies with respect to the Collateral, in any other jurisdiction. 

10.13 Acknowledgements. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that: 

(a) it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; 

(b) none of the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender, the Issuing Lender, any Lender, any Syndication Agent, any Lead Arranger or any
Joint Bookrunner has any fiduciary relationship with or duty to any Loan Party arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and the relationship between Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender, the
Issuing Lender and Lenders, on one hand, and the Loan Parties, on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor; and 

  
 -94- 








 (c) no joint venture is created hereby or by the other Loan Documents or otherwise exists by
virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby among the Lenders or among the Loan Parties and the Lenders. 
 10.14 Interest Rate
Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts that are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively
the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) that may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate
of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such
