 CREDIT AGREEMENT 

This Credit Agreement is entered into as of August 1, 2014, by and among Penford Corporation, a Washington corporation (the
“Borrower”), the direct and indirect Subsidiaries of the Borrower from time to time party to this Agreement, as Guarantors, the several financial institutions from time to time party to this Agreement, as Lenders, and
Coöperatieve Centrale Raiffeisen-Boerenleenbank B.A., “Rabobank Nederland,” New York Branch (“Rabobank”), as Administrative Agent as provided herein. All capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the
same meanings herein as such terms are defined in Section 5.1 hereof. 
 PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS

 WHEREAS, the Borrower has requested that the Lenders make available for the purposes specified in this Agreement a revolving credit
and letter of credit facility; and 
 WHEREAS, the Lenders are willing to make available to the Borrower such revolving credit and letter of
credit facility upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein; 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the
covenants and agreements contained herein, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows: 
  

	SECTION 1.	THE CREDIT FACILITIES. 

 Section 1.1. Revolving Credit Commitments. (a) Subject
to the terms and conditions hereof, each Lender, by its acceptance hereof, severally agrees to make a loan or loans (individually a “Revolving Loan” and collectively the “Revolving Loans”) in U.S. Dollars to the
Borrower from time to time on a revolving basis up to the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment, subject to any reductions thereof pursuant to the terms hereof, before the Revolving Credit Termination Date. The sum of the
aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Loans, Swing Loans and L/C Obligations at any time outstanding shall not exceed the Revolving Credit Commitments in effect at such time, and each Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure at any time
outstanding shall not exceed such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitments in effect at such time. Each Borrowing of Revolving Loans shall be made ratably by the Lenders in proportion to their respective Revolver Percentages. As provided in
Section 1.5(a) hereof, the Borrower may elect that each Borrowing of Revolving Loans be either Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Loans. Revolving Loans may be repaid and the principal amount thereof reborrowed before the Revolving Credit
Termination Date, subject to the terms and conditions hereof. 
 (b) The Borrower may with the consent of the Administrative
Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (but without the consent of any Lender), on any Business Day prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date, increase the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments by
delivering a Commitment Amount Increase Request substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I or in such other form acceptable to the Administrative Agent at least five (5) Business Days prior to the desired effective date of such
increase (the “Commitment Amount Increase”) identifying an additional Lender (or additional Revolving Credit Commitments for existing Lender(s)) and the amount of its Revolving Credit








 
Commitment (or additional amount of its Revolving Credit Commitment(s)); provided, however, that (i) increase of the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments by an amount
in excess of $30,000,000 will require the approval of the Required Lenders and an amendment to the Intercreditor Agreement providing for a corresponding increase to the First Lien Cap Amount (as such term is defined in the Intercreditor Agreement),
(ii) any increase of the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be in an amount not less than $5,000,000, (iii) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of the request or the
effective date of the Commitment Amount Increase, and (iv) any new Lender providing a new commitment shall be approved by the Administrative Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). The effective date of the
Commitment Amount Increase shall be agreed upon by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. Any Commitment Amount Increase pursuant to this Section shall become effective upon the receipt by the Administrative Agent of an agreement in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower signed by the Borrower, each Guarantor, each additional Lender and each existing Lender whose Revolving Credit Commitment is to be increased, setting forth the new (or
increased) Revolving Credit Commitments of such Lenders and setting forth the agreement of each additional Lender to become a party to this Agreement as a Lender and to be bound by all the terms and provisions hereof, together with ratification
agreements executed by each Guarantor, new Revolving Notes in the amount of any additional Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment (or in the amount of any existing Lender’s increased Revolving Credit Commitment), amendments to any Loan
Documents reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in relation to the requested Commitment Amount Increase (which amendments the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to execute on behalf of the Lenders), updates or endorsements to
policies of title insurance as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, flood hazard determination certificates with respect to the real property subject to the Lien of the Mortgages, and such opinions of counsel for the Borrower and the
Guarantors with respect to the requested Commitment Amount Increase and such other assurances, diligence and lien searches as Administrative Agent may reasonably request. If, after giving effect to any Commitment Amount Increase, the outstanding
Revolving Loans would not be held pro rata in accordance with the new Revolving Credit Commitments, the Lenders (including, without limitation, any additional Lenders) shall, on the effective date of the applicable Commitment Amount Increase, make
advances among themselves so that after giving effect thereto the Revolving Loans will be held by the Lenders (including, without limitation, any additional Lenders), on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit
Commitments hereunder (after giving effect to the applicable Commitment Amount Increase). Each Lender agrees to wire immediately available funds to Administrative Agent in accordance with this Agreement as may be required by Administrative Agent in
connection with the foregoing. It shall be a condition to such effectiveness that (i) if any Eurodollar Loans are outstanding under the Revolving Credit on the date of such effectiveness, such Eurodollar Loans shall be deemed to be prepaid on
such date and the Borrower shall pay any amounts owing to the Lenders pursuant to Section 1.11 hereof and (ii) the Borrower shall not have terminated any portion of the Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to Section 1.12 hereof. The
Borrower agrees to pay any reasonable expenses of the Administrative Agent relating to 

  
 2 








 
any Commitment Amount Increase. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Lender shall have any obligation to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment and no Lender’s Revolving
Credit Commitment shall be increased without its consent thereto, and each Lender may at its option, unconditionally and without cause, decline to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment. 

Section 1.2. Letters of Credit. (a) General Terms. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, as part of the
Revolving Credit, the L/C Issuer shall issue standby and commercial letters of credit (each a “Letter of Credit”) in U.S. Dollars for the account of the Borrower or for the account of the Borrower and one or more of its Subsidiaries
in an aggregate undrawn face amount up to the lesser of (i) the L/C Sublimit and (ii) the excess (if any) of the Revolving Credit Commitments over the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Loans, Swing Loans and L/C Obligations then
outstanding. Each Letter of Credit shall be issued by the L/C Issuer, but each Lender shall be obligated to reimburse the L/C Issuer for such Lender’s Revolver Percentage of the amount of each drawing thereunder and, accordingly, each Letter of
Credit shall constitute usage of the Revolving Credit Commitment of each Lender pro rata in an amount equal to its Revolver Percentage of the L/C Obligations then outstanding.  

(b) Applications. At any time before the Revolving Credit Termination Date, the L/C Issuer shall, at the request of the
Borrower, issue one or more Letters of Credit in U.S. Dollars, in a form satisfactory to the L/C Issuer, with expiration dates no later than the earlier of (i) 12 months from the date of issuance (or which are cancelable not later than 12
months from the date of issuance and each renewal) or (ii) 30 days prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date unless, in the case of clause (ii) only, the Borrower has provided Cash Collateral for its obligations with respect to such
Letter of Credit as provided below, in an aggregate face amount as set forth above, upon the receipt of an application duly executed by the Borrower and, if such Letter of Credit is for the account of one of its Subsidiaries, such Subsidiary for the
relevant Letter of Credit in the form then customarily prescribed by the L/C Issuer for the Letter of Credit requested (each an “Application”). Notwithstanding anything contained in any Application to the contrary: (i) the
Borrower shall pay fees in connection with each Letter of Credit as set forth in Section 2.1 hereof, and (ii) except as otherwise provided in Section 1.8 hereof, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the L/C
Issuer will not call for the funding by the Borrower of any amount under a Letter of Credit before being presented with a drawing thereunder. The Borrower agrees that if on the date that is 30 days prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date any
Letters of Credit remain outstanding, the Borrower shall then deliver to the Administrative Agent, without notice or demand, Cash Collateral in accordance with Section 9.4 hereof in an amount equal to 105% of the aggregate amount of each Letter
of Credit then outstanding. If the L/C Issuer issues any Letter of Credit with an expiration date that is automatically extended unless the L/C Issuer gives notice that the expiration date will not so extend beyond its then scheduled expiration
date, unless the Lenders instruct the L/C Issuer otherwise, the L/C Issuer will give such notice of non-renewal before the time necessary to prevent such automatic extension if before such required notice date: (i) the expiration date of such
Letter of Credit if so extended would be after the Revolving Credit Termination Date, (ii) the Revolving Credit Commitments have been terminated, or (iii) an Event of Default exists

and the Administrative Agent, at the request or with the consent of the Required Lenders, has given the L/C Issuer instructions not to so permit the extension of the expiration date of such
Letter of Credit. The L/C Issuer agrees to issue amendments to the Letter(s) of Credit increasing the amount, or extending the expiration date, thereof at the request of the Borrower subject to the conditions of Section 7 hereof and the other
terms of this Section 1.2. 
 (c) The Reimbursement Obligations. Subject to Section 1.2(b) hereof, the
obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the L/C Issuer for all drawings under a Letter of Credit (a “Reimbursement Obligation”) shall be governed by the Application related to such Letter of Credit, except that reimbursement shall
be made by no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York, New York time) on the date when each drawing is to be paid if the Borrower has been informed of such drawing by the L/C Issuer on or before 10:00 a.m. (New York, New York time) on the date when such
drawing is to be paid or, if notice of such drawing is given to the Borrower after 10:00 a.m. (New York, New York time) on the date when such drawing is to be paid, by the end of such day, in immediately available funds at the Administrative
Agent’s principal office in New York, New York or such other office as the Administrative Agent may designate in writing to the Borrower (who shall thereafter cause to be distributed to the L/C Issuer such amount(s) in like funds). Unless the
Borrower has reimbursed the L/C Issuer by 1:00 p.m. (New York, New York time) on the date a drawing is paid, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount paid by the L/C Issuer in connection with the
relevant drawing and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of the amount of such requested Borrowing and each Lender’s Revolver Percentage thereof. Such Base Rate Loans shall only be made if all conditions precedent to the
Lender’s obligation to make the requested Loans are satisfied, other than the minimum amount required by Section 1.4 hereof and the delivery of a Notice of Borrowing as required by Section 1.5(a). Each Lender shall fund its Revolver
Percentage of the requested Base Rate Loans in the manner specified in Section 1.5(d) hereof. If the Borrower does not make any such reimbursement payment on the date due and the Participating Lenders fund their participations therein in the
manner set forth in Section 1.2(d) below, then all payments thereafter received by the Administrative Agent in discharge of any of the relevant Reimbursement Obligations shall be distributed in accordance with Section 1.2(d) below. All
unpaid Reimbursement Obligations that are not required to be paid on the date the relevant drawing under a Letter of Credit is paid shall bear interest from the date such drawing is honored at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Base Rate from
time to time in effect plus the Applicable Margin, subject to Section 1.9 hereof. The Reimbursement Obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement shall be absolute, unconditional, and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in
accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents under all circumstances whatsoever and the Borrower hereby waives any defense to the payment of the Reimbursement Obligations based on any circumstance whatsoever, including in any case, the following
circumstances: (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or any other Loan Document; (ii) any amendment or waiver of or any consent to depart from any Loan Document made after the Closing Date; (iii) the
existence of any claim, set-off, counterclaim, defense, or other rights which the Borrower or any other Person may have at any time against any 

  
 4 








 
beneficiary of any Letter of Credit, the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer, any Lender, or any other Person, whether in connection with any Loan Document or any unrelated transaction;
(iv) any statement, draft, or other documentation presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid, or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect whatsoever;
(v) payment by the L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or (vi) any other circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to
any of the foregoing. None of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, or the L/C Issuer (or any correspondent bank thereof) or any of their Affiliated Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance
or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or
delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes
beyond the control of the L/C Issuer; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the L/C Issuer from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to indirect, punitive, consequential or exemplary
damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by Borrower that are caused by L/C Issuer’s gross negligence or willful misconduct (as finally determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction) when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with
respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for
further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit. 

(d) The Participating Interests. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing
the amount thereof) by the L/C Issuer, and without any further action on the part of the L/C Issuer or the Lenders, the L/C Issuer hereby grants to each Lender (each a “Participating Lender”), and each Lender hereby acquires from
the L/C Issuer, an undivided percentage participating interest (a “Participating Interest”), to the extent of its Revolver Percentage, in each Letter of Credit issued by, and each Reimbursement Obligation owed to, the L/C Issuer. In
consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Participating Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees that, upon request of the L/C Issuer (whether as a result of any failure by the Borrower to pay any Reimbursement Obligation at
the time required on the date the related drawing is to be paid, as set forth in Section 1.2(c) above, or if the L/C Issuer is required at any time to return to the Borrower or to a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other Person any
portion of any payment of any Reimbursement Obligation or otherwise), each Participating Lender shall, not later than the Business Day it receives a certificate in the form of Exhibit A hereto from the L/C


  
 5 








 
Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) to such effect, if such certificate is received before 2:00 p.m. (New York, New York time), or not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York, New York time)
the following Business Day, if such certificate is received after such time, pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer an amount equal to such Participating Lender’s Revolver Percentage of such unpaid or recaptured
Reimbursement Obligation together with interest on such amount accrued from the date such payment is due from such Participating Lender to the date of such payment by such Participating Lender, if such Participating Lender is late in making such
payment, at a rate per annum equal to: (i) from the date such payment is due from such Participating Lender to the date 2 Business Days after payment by such Participating Lender is due hereunder, the Federal Funds Rate for each such day and
(ii) from the date 2 Business Days after the date such payment is due from such Participating Lender to the date such payment is made by such Participating Lender, the Base Rate in effect for each such day. Each such Participating Lender shall
thereafter be entitled to receive its Revolver Percentage of each payment received in respect of the relevant Reimbursement Obligation and of interest paid thereon, with the L/C Issuer retaining its Revolver Percentage thereof as a Lender hereunder.
The several obligations of the Participating Lenders to the L/C Issuer under this Section 1.2 shall be absolute, irrevocable, and unconditional under any and all circumstances whatsoever and shall not be subject to any set-off, counterclaim or
defense to payment which any Participating Lender may have or have had against the Borrower, the L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Person whatsoever. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such obligations
shall not be affected by any Default or Event of Default or by any reduction or termination of any Commitment of any Lender, and each payment by a Participating Lender under this Section 1.2 shall be made without any offset, abatement,
withholding or reduction whatsoever. 
 (e) Indemnification. The Participating Lenders shall, to the extent of their
respective Revolver Percentages, indemnify the L/C Issuer and its Affiliated Parties (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower) against any cost, expense (including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements), claim, demand, action, loss or
liability (except such as result from the L/C Issuer’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final order of a court of competent jurisdiction) that the L/C Issuer may suffer or incur in connection with any Letter of Credit
issued by it. The obligations of the Participating Lenders under this Section 1.2(e) and all other parts of this Section 1.2 shall survive termination of this Agreement and of all Applications, Letters of Credit, and all drafts and other
documents presented in connection with drawings thereunder. 
 (f) Manner of Requesting a Letter of Credit. The
Borrower shall provide at least three (3) Business Days’ advance written notice to the Administrative Agent of each request for the issuance of a Letter of Credit, such notice in each case to be accompanied by an Application for such
Letter of Credit properly completed and executed by the Borrower and, in the case of an extension or an increase in the amount of a Letter of Credit, a written request therefor, in a form acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer, in
each case, together with the fees called for by this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the L/C Issuer of the Administrative Agent’s receipt of each such notice and the L/C Issuer shall promptly notify the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders of the issuance of the Letter of Credit so requested. 

  
 6 








 (g) Illegality under Letters of Credit. If, at any time, it becomes
unlawful for the L/C Issuer to comply with any of its obligations under any Letter of Credit (including, but not limited to, as a result of any sanctions imposed by the United Nations, the European Union, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and/or
the United States, if applicable), the obligations of the L/C Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit shall be suspended (and all corresponding rights shall cease to accrue) until such time as it may again become lawful for the L/C Issuer to
comply with its obligations under such Letter of Credit, and the L/C Issuer shall not be liable for any losses that the Borrower or its Subsidiaries may incur as a result. 

Section 1.3. Applicable Interest Rates. (a) Base Rate Loans. Each Base Rate Loan made or maintained by a Lender shall
bear interest during each Interest Period it is outstanding (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed) on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date such Loan is advanced or continued, or created by conversion from
a Eurodollar Loan, until maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Applicable Margin plus the Base Rate from time to time in effect, payable quarterly in arrears on the second Business Day
immediately following each Quarterly Date and at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise). 
 (b) Eurodollar
Loans. Each Eurodollar Loan made or maintained by a Lender shall bear interest during each Interest Period it is outstanding (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed) on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the
date such Loan is advanced, continued or created by conversion from a Base Rate Loan, until maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Applicable Margin plus the Adjusted LIBOR applicable for such
Interest Period, payable on the last day of the Interest Period and at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise), and, if the applicable Interest Period is longer than three months, on each day occurring every three months after the
commencement of such Interest Period. 
 (c) Rate Determinations. The Administrative Agent shall determine each
interest rate applicable to the Loans and the Reimbursement Obligations hereunder, and its determination thereof shall be conclusive and binding except in the case of manifest error. 

Section 1.4. Minimum Borrowing Amounts; Maximum Eurodollar Loans. Each Borrowing of Base Rate Loans shall be in an amount not less
than $250,000, or such greater amount which is an integral multiple of $50,000. Each Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans advanced, continued or converted shall be in an amount equal to $500,000 or such greater amount which is an integral multiple of
$100,000. Without the Administrative Agent’s consent, there shall not be more than 10 Borrowings of Eurodollar Loans outstanding at any one time. 

Section 1.5. Manner of Borrowing Loans and Designating Applicable Interest Rates. (a) Notice to the Administrative
Agent. The Borrower shall give notice to the Administrative 

  
 7 








 
Agent by no later than: (i) 2:00 p.m. (New York, New York time) at least 3 Business Days before the date on which the Borrower requests the Lenders to advance a Borrowing of Eurodollar
Loans, and (ii) 11:00 a.m. (New York, New York time) on the date the Borrower requests the Lenders to advance a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans (other than Swing Loans). The Loans included in each Borrowing shall bear interest initially at the
type of rate specified in such notice of a new Borrowing. Thereafter, the Borrower may from time to time elect to change or continue the type of interest rate borne by each Borrowing or, subject to the minimum amount requirement set forth in
Section 1.4 for each outstanding Borrowing, a portion thereof, as follows: (i) if such Borrowing is of Eurodollar Loans, on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower may continue part or all of such Borrowing as
Eurodollar Loans or convert part or all of such Borrowing into Base Rate Loans or (ii) if such Borrowing is of Base Rate Loans, on any Business Day, the Borrower may convert all or part of such Borrowing into Eurodollar Loans for an Interest
Period or Interest Periods specified by the Borrower. The Borrower shall give all such notices requesting the advance, continuation or conversion of a Borrowing to the Administrative Agent by telephone or telecopy (which notice shall be irrevocable
once given and, if by telephone, shall be promptly confirmed in writing), substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (“Notice of Borrowing”) or Exhibit C (“Notice of Continuation/Conversion”), as
applicable, or in such other form acceptable to the Administrative Agent. Notice of the continuation of a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans for an additional Interest Period or of the conversion of part or all of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans into
Eurodollar Loans must be given by no later than 2:00 p.m. (New York, New York time) at least 3 Business Days before the date of the requested continuation or conversion. All such notices concerning the advance, continuation or conversion of a
Borrowing shall specify the date of the requested advance, continuation or conversion of a Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), the amount of the requested Borrowing to be advanced, continued or converted, the type of Loans to comprise such
new, continued or converted Borrowing and, if such Borrowing is to be comprised of Eurodollar Loans, the Interest Period applicable thereto (and the last day thereof). The Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent may rely on any such telephonic
or telecopy notice given by any person the Administrative Agent in good faith believes is an Authorized Representative without the necessity of independent investigation, and in the event any such notice by telephone conflicts with any written
confirmation such telephonic notice shall govern if the Administrative Agent has acted in reliance thereon. 
 (b) Notice
to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall give prompt telephonic or telecopy notice to each Lender of any notice from the Borrower received pursuant to Section 1.5(a) above and, if such notice requests the Lenders to make Eurodollar
Loans, the Administrative Agent shall give notice to the Borrower and each Lender by like means of the interest rate applicable thereto promptly after the Administrative Agent has made such determination. Each Lender shall, subject to Section 7
hereof, make its Loan in accordance with Section 1.5 hereof. 
 (c) Borrower’s Failure to Notify; Automatic
Continuations and Conversions. Any outstanding Borrowing of Base Rate Loans shall automatically be continued for an additional Interest Period on the last day of its then current Interest Period unless the Borrower has notified the
Administrative Agent within the period required by Section 1.5(a) that the Borrower intends to convert such Borrowing, subject to 

  
 8 








 
Section 7.1 hereof, into a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans or such Borrowing is prepaid in accordance with Section 1.8(a). If the Borrower fails to give notice pursuant to
Section 1.5(a) above of the continuation or conversion of any outstanding principal amount of a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans before the last day of its then current Interest Period within the period required by Section 1.5(a) or, whether
or not such notice has been given, one or more of the conditions set forth in Section 7.1 for the continuation or conversion of a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans would not be satisfied, and such Borrowing is not prepaid in accordance with
Section 1.8(a), such Borrowing shall automatically be converted into a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans. If no Interest Period is specified in any such notice with respect to any conversion to or continuation of a Eurodollar Loan, the Borrower
shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. In the event the Borrower fails to give notice pursuant to Section 1.5(a) above of a Borrowing equal to the amount of a Reimbursement Obligation and has not
notified the Administrative Agent by 2:00 p.m. (New York, New York time) on the day such Reimbursement Obligation becomes due that it intends to repay such Reimbursement Obligation through funds not borrowed under this Agreement, the Borrower shall
be deemed to have requested a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans under the Revolving Credit (or, at the option of the Administrative Agent, under the Swing Line) on such day in the amount of the Reimbursement Obligation then due, which Borrowing shall be
applied to pay the Reimbursement Obligation then due. 
 (d) Disbursement of Loans. Not later than 2:00 p.m. (New
York, New York time) on the date of any requested advance of a new Borrowing, subject to Section 7 hereof, each Lender shall make available its Loan comprising part of such Borrowing in funds immediately available at the principal office of the
Administrative Agent in New York, New York. The Administrative Agent shall make the proceeds of each new Borrowing available to the Borrower at the Administrative Agent’s principal office in New York, New York, in the type of funds received by
the Administrative Agent from the Lenders. 
 (e) Administrative Agent Reliance on Lender Funding. Unless the
Administrative Agent shall have been notified by a Lender prior to (or, in the case of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, by 2:00 p.m. (New York, New York time) on) the date on which such Lender is scheduled to make payment to the Administrative Agent
of the proceeds of a Loan (which notice shall be effective upon receipt) that such Lender does not intend to make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such payment when due and the Administrative Agent may in
reliance upon such assumption (but shall not be required to) make available to the Borrower the proceeds of the Loan to be made by such Lender and, if any Lender has not in fact made such payment to the Administrative Agent, such Lender shall, on
demand, pay to the Administrative Agent the amount made available to the Borrower attributable to such Lender together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was made available to the
Borrower and ending on (but excluding) the date such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent at a rate per annum equal to: (i) from the date the related advance was made by the Administrative Agent to the date 2 Business Days after
payment by such Lender is due 

  
 9 








 
hereunder, the Federal Funds Rate for each such day and (ii) from the date 2 Business Days after the date such payment is due from such Lender to the date such payment is made by such
Lender, the Base Rate in effect for each such day. If such amount is not received from such Lender by the Administrative Agent immediately upon demand, the Borrower will, on demand, repay to the Administrative Agent the proceeds of the Loan
attributable to such Lender with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable to the relevant Loan, but without such payment being considered a payment or prepayment of a Loan under Section 1.11 hereof so that the
Borrower will have no liability under such Section with respect to such payment. The failure of any Lender to make the payment to be made by it as part of any Borrowing shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make
its payment on the date of such Borrowing, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the payment to be made by such other Lender on the date of any Borrowing. 

Section 1.6. Interest Periods. As provided in Section 1.5(a) and 1.14 hereof, at the time of each request to advance,
continue or create by conversion a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans or Swing Loans, the Borrower shall select an Interest Period applicable to such Loans from among the available options. The term “Interest Period” means the period
commencing on the date a Borrowing of Loans is advanced, continued or created by conversion and ending: (a) in the case of Base Rate Loans, on the last Business Day of the calendar quarter (i.e., the last Business Day of March, June,
September or December, as applicable) in which such Borrowing is advanced, continued or created by conversion (or on the last Business Day of the following calendar quarter if such Loan is advanced, continued or created by conversion on the last
Business Day of a calendar quarter), (b) in the case of a Eurodollar Loan, 1, 2, 3 or 6 months thereafter, and (c) in the case of a Swing Loan, on the date 1 to 5 days thereafter as mutually agreed to by the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent; provided, however, that: 
 (i) any Interest Period for a Borrowing of Revolving Loans or Swing Loans
consisting of Base Rate Loans that otherwise would end after the Revolving Credit Termination Date shall end on the Revolving Credit Termination Date; 

(ii) no Interest Period with respect to any portion of the Revolving Loans or Swing Loans shall extend beyond the Revolving
Credit Termination Date; 
 (iii) whenever the last day of any Interest Period for Eurodollar Loans would otherwise be a day
that is not a Business Day, the last day of such Interest Period shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, provided that, if such extension would cause the last day of an Interest Period for a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans to
occur in the following calendar month, the last day of such Interest Period shall be the immediately preceding Business Day; and 

(iv) for purposes of determining an Interest Period for a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans, a month means a period starting on one
day in a calendar month and ending on the numerically corresponding day in the next calendar month; provided, however, that if there is no numerically corresponding day in 

  
 10 








 
the month in which such an Interest Period is to end or if such an Interest Period begins on the last Business Day of a calendar month, then such Interest Period shall end on the last Business
Day of the calendar month in which such Interest Period is to end. 
 Section 1.7. Maturity of Loans. Each Revolving Loan
and Swing Loan, both for principal and interest not sooner paid, shall mature and become due and payable by the Borrower on the Revolving Credit Termination Date. 

Section 1.8. Prepayments. (a) Optional. The Borrower shall have the privilege of prepaying without
premium or penalty (except as set forth in Section 1.11 hereof) and in whole or in part (but, if in part, then: (i) if such Borrowing is of Base Rate Loans, in an amount not less than $250,000, (ii) if such Borrowing is of Eurodollar
Loans, in an amount not less than $500,000 or any greater amount that is an integral multiple of $100,000, and (iii) in each case, in an amount such that the minimum amount required for a Borrowing pursuant to
Sections 1.4 and 1.14 hereof remains outstanding) any Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans at any time upon three (3) Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or, in the case of a Borrowing of Base
Rate Loans, notice delivered to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower no later than 2:00 p.m. (New York, New York time) on the date of such prepayment. Each such prepayment shall be made by the payment of the principal amount to be prepaid and,
in the case of any Eurodollar Loans or Swing Loans, accrued interest thereon to the date fixed for prepayment plus any amounts due the Lenders under Section 1.11 and shall be subject to Section 1.8(d). 

(b) Mandatory. (i) The Borrower covenants and agrees that if at any time the aggregate principal amount of all
outstanding Revolving Loans, Swing Loans and L/C Obligations exceeds the Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect, the Borrower shall immediately and without notice or demand pay over the amount of the excess to the Administrative Agent for the
ratable benefit of the Lenders as and for a mandatory prepayment on the Revolving Notes, Swing Note and L/C Obligations until payment in full thereof. Each such prepayment shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the amount prepaid to the date of
prepayment plus any amounts due to the Lenders under Section 1.11 hereof and shall be subject to Section 1.8(d). 

(ii) The Borrower shall, on each date the Revolving Credit Commitments are reduced pursuant to Section 1.12 hereof, prepay
the Revolving Loans, Swing Loans, and, if necessary, prefund the L/C Obligations by the amount, if any, necessary to reduce the sum of the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Loans, Swing Loans and L/C Obligations then outstanding to the
amount to which the Revolving Credit Commitments have been so reduced. Each such prepayment shall be subject to Section 1.8(d). 

(c) The Administrative Agent will promptly advise each Lender of any notice of prepayment it receives from the Borrower. Any
amount of Revolving Loans and Swing Loans paid or prepaid before the Revolving Credit Termination Date may, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, be borrowed, repaid and borrowed again. 

  
 11 








 (d) Unless the Borrower otherwise directs, prepayments of Loans under
Section 1.8(b) shall be applied first to Borrowings of Base Rate Loans until payment in full thereof with any balance applied to Borrowings of Eurodollar Loans in the order in which their Interest Periods expire. Each prepayment of Loans under
Section 1.8(b) shall be made by the payment of the principal amount to be prepaid and, in the case of Eurodollar Loans or Swing Loans, accrued interest thereon to the date of prepayment together with any amounts due the Lenders under
Section 1.11 hereof. Each prefunding of L/C Obligations shall be made in accordance with Section 9.4 hereof. 

Section 1.9. Default Rate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 1.3 hereof, while any Event
of Default exists or after acceleration, the Borrower shall pay interest (after as well as before entry of judgment thereon to the extent permitted by law) on the principal amount of all Loans and Reimbursement Obligations, and letter of credit fees
at a rate per annum equal to: 
 (a) for any Base Rate Loan or any Swing Loan, the sum of 2.0% plus the Applicable Margin
plus the Base Rate from time to time in effect; 
 (b) for any Eurodollar Loan, the sum of 2.0% plus the rate of interest in
effect thereon at the time of such default until the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto and, thereafter, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of 2.0% plus the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans plus the Base Rate from time to time in
effect; and 
 (c) for any Reimbursement Obligation, the sum of 2.0% plus the Applicable Margin plus the Base Rate from time
to time in effect; 
 provided, however, that in the absence of acceleration, any adjustments pursuant to this Section shall be made at the election
of the Administrative Agent, acting at the request or with the consent of the Required Lenders, with written notice to the Borrower. While any Event of Default exists or after acceleration, interest shall be paid on demand of the Administrative
Agent at the request or with the consent of the Required Lenders. 
 Section 1.10. The Notes. (a) The
Revolving Loans made to the Borrower by a Lender shall be evidenced by a single promissory note of the Borrower issued to such Lender in the form of Exhibit D-1 hereto. Each such promissory note is hereinafter referred to as a
“Revolving Note” and collectively such promissory notes are referred to as the “Revolving Notes.” 

(b) The Swing Loans made to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent shall be evidenced by a single promissory note of the
Borrower issued to the Administrative Agent in the form of Exhibit D-2 hereto. Such promissory note is hereinafter referred to as the “Swing Note.” 

(c) Each Lender shall record on its books and records or on a schedule to its appropriate Note the amount of each Loan
advanced, continued or converted by it, all payments of principal and interest and the principal balance from time to time outstanding thereon, the type of such Loan, and, for any Eurodollar Loan or Swing Loan, the Interest Period, the currency in
which such Loan is denominated, and the interest rate 

  
 12 








 
applicable thereto. The record thereof, whether shown on such books and records of a Lender or on a schedule to the relevant Note, shall be prima facie evidence as to all such matters;
provided, however, that the failure of any Lender to record any of the foregoing or any error in any such record shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay all Loans made to it hereunder together with accrued
interest thereon. At the request of any Lender and upon such Lender tendering to the Borrower the appropriate Note to be replaced, the Borrower shall furnish a new Note to such Lender to replace any outstanding Note, and at such time the first
notation appearing on a schedule on the reverse side of, or attached to, such Note shall set forth the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Loans, if any, then outstanding thereon. 

Section 1.11. Funding Indemnity. If any Lender shall incur any loss, cost or expense (including, without limitation, any loss of
profit, and any loss, cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or re-employment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund or maintain any Eurodollar Loan or Swing Loan or the relending or reinvesting of such deposits or
amounts paid or prepaid to such Lender) as a result of: 
 (a) any payment, prepayment or conversion of a Eurodollar Loan on
a date other than the last day of its Interest Period, including without limitation as a result of a reallocation of Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 1.1(b) hereof, 

(b) any failure (because of a failure to meet the conditions of Section 7 or otherwise) by the Borrower to borrow or
continue a Eurodollar Loan or Swing Loan, or to convert a Base Rate Loan into a Eurodollar Loan or Swing Loan on the date specified in a notice given pursuant to Section 1.5(a) or 1.14 hereof, 

(c) any failure by the Borrower to make any payment of principal on any Eurodollar Loan or Swing Loan when due (whether by
acceleration or otherwise), or 
 (d) any acceleration of the maturity of a Eurodollar Loan or Swing Loan as a result of the
occurrence of any Event of Default hereunder, 
 then, upon the demand of such Lender, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such amount as will reimburse
such Lender for such loss, cost or expense. If any Lender makes such a claim for compensation, it shall provide to the Borrower, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, a certificate setting forth the amount of such loss, cost or expense in
reasonable detail (including an explanation of the basis for and the computation of such loss, cost or expense) and the amounts shown on such certificate shall be conclusive if reasonably determined. 

Section 1.12. Commitment Terminations. (a) Optional Revolving Credit Terminations. The Borrower shall have the right
at any time and from time to time, upon five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter time period agreed to by the Administrative Agent), to terminate the Revolving Credit Commitments without
premium or penalty and in whole or in part, any partial termination to be (i) in an amount not less than $1,000,000 or a whole multiple thereof, and (ii) allocated ratably among the Lenders in proportion to their respective Revolver
Percentages, provided that the Revolving Credit Commitments may not be reduced to an amount less than the sum of the aggregate principal 

  
 13 








 
amount of all Revolving Loans, Swing Loans, and L/C Obligations then outstanding. Any termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments below the L/C Sublimit or Swing Line Sublimit then in effect
shall reduce the L/C Sublimit and Swing Line Sublimit, as applicable, to an amount equal to the Revolving Credit Commitments. The Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to each Lender of any such termination of the Revolving Credit
Commitments. 
 (b) No Reinstatement. Any termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to this
Section 1.12 may not be reinstated. 
 Section 1.13. Substitution of Lenders. Upon the receipt by the
Borrower of (a) a claim from any Lender for compensation under Section 10.3 or 13.1 hereof, (b) notice by any Lender to the Borrower of any illegality pursuant to Section 10.1 hereof or (c) notice that any Lender is then a
Defaulting Lender (any such Lender referred to in clause (a), (b) or (c) above being hereinafter referred to as an “Affected Lender”), the Borrower may, in addition to any other rights the Borrower may have hereunder or
under applicable law, require, at its expense, any such Affected Lender to assign, at par plus accrued interest and fees, without recourse, all of its interest, rights, and obligations hereunder (including all of its Commitments and the Loans and
participation interests in Letters of Credit and other amounts at any time owing to it hereunder and the other Loan Documents) to a bank or other institutional Lender specified by the Borrower, provided that (i) such assignment shall not
conflict with or violate any law, rule or regulation or order of any court or other governmental authority, (ii) the Borrower shall have received the written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld,
to such assignment, (iii) the Borrower shall have paid to the Affected Lender all monies (together with amounts due such Affected Lender under Section 1.11 hereof as if the Loans owing to it were prepaid rather than assigned) owed
hereunder other than such principal, interest, and fees accrued and owing to it hereunder, and (iv) the assignment is entered into in accordance with the other requirements of Section 13.12 hereof. If the Borrower exercises its option
hereunder to cause an assignment by any Affected Lender, such Affected Lender shall, promptly after receipt of written notice of such election, execute and deliver all documentation necessary to effectuate such assignment in accordance with
Section 13.12. In the event that an Affected Lender does not comply with the requirements of the immediately preceding sentence within five Business Days after receipt of such notice, such Affected Lender hereby authorizes and directs the
Administrative Agent to execute and deliver such documentation as may be required to give effect to an assignment in accordance with Section 13.12 on behalf of such Affected Lender and any such documentation so executed by the Administrative
Agent shall be effective for purposes of documenting an assignment pursuant to Section 13.12. 
 Section 1.14. Swing
Loans. (a) Generally. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, as part of the Revolving Credit, the Administrative Agent agrees to make loans in U.S. Dollars to the Borrower under the Swing Line (individually a
“Swing Loan” and collectively the “Swing Loans”) which shall not in the aggregate at any time outstanding exceed the Swing Line Sublimit. The Swing Loans may be availed of the Borrower from time to time and
Borrowings thereunder may be repaid and used again during the period ending on the Revolving Credit Termination Date; provided that each Swing Loan must be repaid on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto and on the Revolving
Credit Termination Date. Each Swing Loan shall be in a minimum amount of $100,000 or such greater amount which is an integral multiple of $50,000. 

  
 14 








 (b) Interest on Swing Loans. Each Swing Loan shall bear interest
until maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (i) the Base Rate, plus (ii) the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans under the Revolving Credit as from time to time in effect, minus
(iii) .50% (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, for the actual number of days elapsed). Interest on each Swing Loan shall be due and payable prior to such maturity on the last day of each Interest Period applicable thereto and on
the Revolving Credit Termination Date. 
 (c) Requests for Swing Loans. The Borrower shall give the
Administrative Agent prior notice (which may be written or oral) no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York, New York time) on the date upon which the Borrower requests that any Swing Loan be made, of the amount and date of such Swing Loan, and the Interest
Period requested therefor. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the proceeds of such Swing Loan shall be made available to the Borrower on the date so requested at the offices of the Administrative Agent in New York, New York. Anything
contained in the foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) the obligation of the Administrative Agent to make Swing Loans shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall
not be obligated to make more than one Swing Loan during any one day. 
 (d) Refunding Loans. In its
sole and absolute discretion, the Administrative Agent may at any time, on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to act on its behalf for such purpose) and with notice to the Borrower, request each
Lender to make a Revolving Loan in the form of a Base Rate Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Revolver Percentage of the amount of the Swing Loans outstanding on the date such notice is given. Unless an Event of Default described in
Section 9.1(j) or 9.1(k) exists with respect to the Borrower, regardless of the existence of any other Event of Default, each Lender shall make the proceeds of its requested Revolving Loan available to the Administrative Agent, in immediately
available funds, at the Administrative Agent’s principal office in New York, New York, before 1:00 p.m. (New York, New York time) on the Business Day following the day such notice is given. The proceeds of such Borrowing of Revolving Loans
shall be immediately applied to repay the outstanding Swing Loans. 
 (e) Participations. Additionally,
Swingline Lender may, by written notice given to the Lenders (or to any Lender that has failed to fund a Revolving Loan pursuant to clause (d) above) on any Business Day, require such Lenders to acquire participations in all or a portion of the
Swing Loans outstanding. Each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, within 1 Business Day after receipt of such notice (and to the extent it has not already funded a Revolving Loan in connection with the Swing Loans that are the
subject of such notice pursuant to clause (d) above), to pay to Administrative Agent, such Lender’s Revolver Percentage of such Swing Loan or Loans. Each Lender shall comply with its obligation under this Section by wire transfer of
immediately 

  
 15 








 
available funds to the Administrative Agent. The purchase of participations in a Swing Loan pursuant to this Section shall not relieve Borrower of any default in the payment thereof. Each Lender
that so purchases a participation in a Swing Loan shall thereafter be entitled to receive its Revolver Percentage of each payment of principal received on the Swing Loan and of interest received thereon accruing from the date such Lender funded to
the Administrative Agent its participation in such Loan. The several obligations of the Lenders under this Section shall be absolute, irrevocable and unconditional under any and all circumstances whatsoever and shall not be subject to any set-off,
counterclaim or defense to payment which any Lender may have or have had against the Borrower, any other Lender or any other Person whatsoever. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such obligations shall not be affected by any Default
or Event of Default or by any reduction or termination of the Commitments of any Lender, and each payment made by a Lender under this Section shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. 

Section 1.15. 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 Administrative
Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 9 or otherwise) or received by Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 13.16 shall be applied at
such time or times as may be determined by Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to Administrative Agent (other than in its capacity as L/C Issuer and Swingline Lender)
hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any L/C Issuer or Swingline Lender hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize L/C Issuer’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such
Defaulting Lender; fourth, as 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 Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by Administrative Agent and Borrower, to be held in a Deposit Account controlled by Administrative Agent and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting
Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Revolving Loans under this Agreement and (y) Cash Collateralize L/C Issuer’s future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters
of Credit issued under this 

  
 16 








 
Agreement; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, L/C Issuer or Swingline Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any
Lender, L/C Issuer or 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 Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by 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 (A) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or L/C Disbursements in respect of which such
Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (B) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit and Swing Loans were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 7.1 were satisfied or waived,
such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C Disbursements owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C Disbursements owed to, such Defaulting Lender until
such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitments without giving effect to Section 1.15(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 1.15(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 commitment fee pursuant to Section 2.1(a) for any period during
which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and 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 pursuant to Section 2.1(b) for any period during which that
Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its pro rata share of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral. 

(C) With respect to any fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to Sections 1.15(a)(iii)(A) or
1.15(a)(iii)(B), Borrower shall (i) 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 Letters of Credit or Swing Loans that
has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant 

  
 17 








 
to Section 1.15(a)(iv), (ii) pay to each L/C Issuer and Swingline Lender, as applicable, the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable
to such L/C Issuer’s or Swingline Lender’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (iii) 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 Letters of Credit and Swing Loans shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective pro rata shares (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment) but
only to the extent that (A) the conditions set forth in Section 7.1 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless Borrower shall have otherwise notified Administrative Agent at such time, Borrower shall be deemed to have
represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time), and (B) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving
Credit 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 Swing Loans. If the reallocation described in Section 1.15(a)(iv) cannot, or can only partially, be effected, Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, first,
prepay Swing Loans in an amount equal to Swingline Lender’s Fronting Exposure and second, Cash Collateralize L/C Issuer’s Fronting Exposure (determined after giving effect to Section 1.15(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by
such Defaulting Lender) in an amount not less than the Minimum Collateral Amount. The Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the L/C
Issuer, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such Cash Collateral as security for the Defaulting Lenders’ obligation to fund participations in respect of L/C Obligations. 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 L/C Issuer 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). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under this Section in respect of Letters of Credit shall be applied to the satisfaction of the Defaulting Lender’s obligation
to fund participations in respect of L/C Obligations (including, as to Cash Collateral 

  
 18 








 
provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be
provided for herein. 
 (b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If Borrower, Administrative Agent, Swingline Lender, and L/C
Issuer agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, 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 Revolving Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as Administrative Agent may determine
to be necessary to cause the Revolving Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Loans to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with the Revolving Credit Commitments (without giving effect to
Section 1.15(a)(iv)), and reimburse each such Lender for any costs of the type described in Section 1.11 incurred by any Lender as a result of such purchase, 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 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 Swing Loans/Letters of Credit. So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, i) Swingline Lender shall not be
required to fund any Swing Loans unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect to such Swing Loan and ii) no L/C Issuer shall 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. 
  

	SECTION 2.	FEES. 

 Section 2.1. Fees. (a) Revolving Credit Commitment
Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders in accordance with their Revolver Percentages a commitment fee at the rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin (computed on the basis of a year
of 360 days and the actual number of days elapsed) on the average daily Unused Revolving Credit Commitments. Such commitment fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the second Business Day following each Quarterly Date in each year (commencing
on the first such date occurring after the date hereof) and on the Revolving Credit Termination Date, unless the Revolving Credit Commitments are terminated in whole on an earlier date, in which event the commitment fee for the period to the date of
such termination in whole shall be paid on the date of such termination. 
 (b) Letter of Credit Fees. On the date of
issuance or extension, or increase in the amount, of any Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 1.2 hereof, the Borrower shall pay to the L/C Issuer for its own account a fronting fee equal to 0.25% of the face amount of (or of the increase in
the face amount of) such Letter of Credit. Quarterly in arrears, on 

  
 19 








 
the second Business Day following each Quarterly Date, commencing on the first such date occurring after the date hereof, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable
benefit of the Lenders in accordance with their Revolver Percentages, a letter of credit fee at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual number of days elapsed) in effect during each
day of such quarter applied to the daily average face amount of Letters of Credit outstanding during such quarter. In addition, the Borrower shall pay to the L/C Issuer for its own account the L/C Issuer’s standard issuance, drawing,
negotiation, amendment, assignment, and other administrative fees for each Letter of Credit as established by the L/C Issuer from time to time. 

(c) Administrative Agent Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own use and benefit, the fees
agreed to between the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in a letter dated as of the Closing Date, or as otherwise agreed to in writing between them. 

(d) Audit Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for its own use and benefit reasonable charges for
audits of the Collateral performed by the Administrative Agent or its agents or representatives in such amounts as the Administrative Agent may from time to time request (the Administrative Agent acknowledging and agreeing that such charges shall be
computed in the same manner as it at the time customarily uses for the assessment of charges for similar collateral audits); provided, however, that in the absence of any Default and Event of Default, the Borrower shall not be required to pay
the Administrative Agent for more than one (1) such audit per calendar year. 
  

	SECTION 3.	PLACE AND APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS. 

 Section 3.1. Place and Application of Payments.
All payments of principal of and interest on the Loans and the Reimbursement Obligations, and of all other Obligations payable by the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, shall be made by the Borrower to the Administrative
Agent by no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York, New York time) on the due date thereof at the office of the Administrative Agent in New York, New York (or such other location as the Administrative Agent may designate to the Borrower) for the benefit of
the Lender or Lenders entitled thereto. Any payments received after such time shall be deemed to have been received by the Administrative Agent on the next Business Day. All such payments shall be made in immediately available funds at the place of
payment without set-off or counterclaim. The Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter cause to be distributed like funds relating to the payment of principal or interest on Loans and on Reimbursement Obligations in which the Lenders have
purchased Participating Interests ratably to the Lenders and like funds relating to the payment of any other amount payable to any Lender to such Lender, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. If the
Administrative Agent causes amounts to be distributed to the Lenders in reliance upon the assumption that the Borrower will make a scheduled payment and such scheduled payment is not so made, each Lender shall, on demand, repay to the Administrative
Agent the amount distributed to such Lender together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period 

  
 20 








 
commencing on the date such amount was distributed to such Lender and ending on (but excluding) the date such Lender repays such amount to the Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to:
(i) from the date the distribution was made to the date 2 Business Days after payment by such Lender is due hereunder, the Federal Funds Rate for each such day and (ii) from the date 2 Business Days after the date such payment is due from
such Lender to the date such payment is made by such Lender, the Base Rate in effect for each such day. 
 Anything contained herein to the
contrary notwithstanding, all payments and collections received in respect of the Secured Obligations and all proceeds of the Collateral received, in each instance, by the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders after the occurrence and during
the continuation of an Event of Default, shall be remitted to the Administrative Agent and distributed as follows: 
 (a)
first, to the payment of any outstanding costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, and any security trustee therefor, in monitoring, verifying, protecting, preserving or enforcing the Liens on the Collateral, in protecting, preserving
or enforcing rights under the Loan Documents, and in any event including all costs and expenses of a character which the Borrower has agreed to pay the Administrative Agent under Section 13.15 hereof (such funds to be retained by the
Administrative Agent for its own account unless it has previously been reimbursed for such costs and expenses by the Lenders, in which event such amounts shall be remitted to the Lenders to reimburse them for payments theretofore made to the
Administrative Agent); 
 (b) second, to the payment of principal of and interest on the Swing Loans until paid in full; 

(c) third, to the payment of any outstanding interest and fees due under the Loan Documents to be allocated pro rata in
accordance with the aggregate unpaid amounts owing to each holder thereof; 
 (d) fourth, on a pro rata basis, to
(i) the payment of principal of the Revolving Loans, (ii) the payment of unpaid Reimbursement Obligations, (iii) Cash Collateralize any outstanding L/C Obligations pursuant to Section 9.4 hereof, and (iv) pay or Cash
Collateralize Hedging Liability; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above, in no event shall any proceeds of any Collateral owned, or any guarantee provided, by Borrower or any Guarantor under
any Loan Document be applied to repay or Cash Collateralize any Excluded Hedging Liability with respect to Borrower or such Guarantor, and any guarantee or Collateral provided by Borrower or any Guarantor that is not an “eligible contract
participant” as defined in the Commodity Exchange Act and the regulations thereunder at the time the guarantee of Borrower or such Guarantor or the grant of such security interest became effective may secure the Loans and other Obligations not
constituting Hedging Liabilities notwithstanding that the guarantee or Collateral of Borrower or such Guarantor does not guaranty or secure any Hedging Liabilities; 

(e) fifth, to the payment of all other unpaid Obligations and all other indebtedness, obligations, and liabilities of the
Borrower and its Subsidiaries secured by 

  
 21 








 
the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, Funds Transfer and Deposit Account Liability) to be allocated pro rata in accordance with the aggregate unpaid amounts owing to each holder
thereof; 
 (f) sixth, to the Second Lien Agent to the extent required by the Intercreditor Agreement; and 

(g) finally, to the Borrower or whoever else may be lawfully entitled thereto. 

Section 3.2. Account Debit. The Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to charge any of the
Borrower’s deposit accounts maintained with the Administrative Agent or its Affiliates for the amounts from time to time necessary to pay any then due Obligations; provided that the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the
Administrative Agent shall not be under an obligation to do so and the Administrative Agent shall not incur any liability to the Borrower or any other Person for the Administrative Agent’s failure to do so. 

 

	SECTION 4.	GUARANTIES AND COLLATERAL. 

 Section 4.1. Guaranties. The payment and performance of
the Obligations, Hedging Liability, and Funds Transfer and Deposit Account Liability shall at all times be guaranteed by each direct and indirect Domestic Subsidiary of the Borrower (individually a “Guarantor” and collectively the
“Guarantors”) pursuant to Section 12 hereof or pursuant to one or more guaranty agreements in form and substance acceptable to the Administrative Agent, as the same may be amended, modified or supplemented from time to time
(individually a “Guaranty” and collectively the “Guaranties”). 
 Section 4.2. Collateral. The
Obligations, Hedging Liability, and Funds Transfer and Deposit Account Liability shall be secured to the extent provided herein and in the Collateral Documents by (a) valid, perfected and enforceable Liens on all right, title, and interest of
the Borrower and the Guarantors in all capital stock and other equity interests held by such Person in each of its Domestic Subsidiaries, whether now owned or hereafter formed or acquired, and all proceeds thereof, and (b) valid, perfected, and
enforceable Liens on all right, title, and interest of the Borrower and each Guarantor in all personal property, fixtures, and to the extent provided in Section 4.3 hereof, real estate, whether now owned or hereafter acquired or arising, and
all proceeds thereof; provided, however, that: (i) until an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and thereafter until otherwise required by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, Liens on local petty cash deposit
accounts maintained by the Borrower and the Guarantors in proximity to their operations need not be perfected provided that the total amount on deposit at any one time not so perfected shall not exceed $1,000,000 in the aggregate and Liens on
payroll, withholding tax, or tax trust or fiduciary accounts maintained by the Borrower and the Guarantors need not be perfected provided the total amount on deposit at any time does not exceed the current amount of their payroll liabilities,
payroll taxes or other wage and benefit liabilities, (ii) until an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and thereafter until otherwise required by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, Liens on vehicles which are subject
to a certificate of title law need not be perfected provided that the total value of such property at any one time not so perfected shall not exceed $1,000,000 in the aggregate and 

  
 22 








 
(iii) until an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and thereafter until otherwise required by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, Liens are not required to be granted or
perfected on (A) Property of the Borrower and the Guarantors (other than Property which is being pledged pursuant to the Security Agreement) located outside of the United States of America or Property as to which the grant or perfection of a
Lien thereon would not be governed by the laws of the United States of America or any State thereof, provided that the aggregate net book value of such Property at any one time not so encumbered does not exceed $1,000,000 in the aggregate and
(B) goods in transit outside of the United States of America in the ordinary course of business. The Borrower and the Guarantors acknowledge and agree that each Lien on the Collateral shall be granted by the Borrower and the Guarantors to the
Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties and shall be a valid and perfected first priority Lien subject only to Liens permitted by Section 8.8 hereof, in each case pursuant to one or more Collateral Documents from such
Persons, each in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 
 Section 4.3. Liens on Real Property. In the
event that the Borrower or any Guarantor owns or hereafter acquires any real property which, in the case of hereafter acquired property (a) has a fair market value greater than $1,000,000, or (b) is contiguous to the Borrower’s or
such Guarantor’s operations and has a fair market value greater than $500,000, the Borrower shall, or shall cause such Guarantor to: (i) execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a mortgage or deed of trust in substantially the form
of the Closing Date Mortgages (with such modifications thereto as are necessary to comply with local law and custom and are otherwise reasonably acceptable in form and substance to the Administrative Agent) for the purpose of granting to the
Administrative Agent (or a security trustee therefor) a Lien on such real property to secure the Borrower’s obligation to pay (or the applicable Guarantor’s obligation to pay, pursuant to and in accordance with Section 12) the
Obligations, Hedging Liability, and Funds Transfer and Deposit Account Liability; (ii) pay all taxes, costs, and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent in recording such mortgage or deed of trust; and (iii) supply to the
Administrative Agent, at the Borrower’s cost and expense, a survey, environmental report, hazard insurance policy, appraisal report, flood hazard determination certificates (and, if applicable, evidence of flood insurance that is in compliance
with applicable law), and a mortgagee’s policy of title insurance from First American Title Insurance Company or such other title insurer as shall be acceptable to the Administrative Agent insuring the validity of such mortgage or deed of trust
and its status as a first Lien (subject to Liens permitted by this Agreement) on the real property encumbered thereby and otherwise in form and substance acceptable to Administrative Agent and such other instruments, documents, certificates, and
opinions reasonably required by the Administrative Agent in connection therewith. The Lenders acknowledge that Carolina Starches, LLC and Penford Carolina, LLC shall not be required to grant mortgages to the Administrative Agent in respect of the
real property owned and/or leased by them on the Closing Date. 
 Section 4.4. Further Assurances. The Borrower agrees that it
shall, and shall cause each Guarantor to, from time to time at the request of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, execute and deliver such documents and do such acts and things as the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders may
reasonably request in order to provide for or perfect or protect such Liens on the Collateral. In the event the Borrower or any Guarantor forms or 

  
 23 








 
acquires any other Subsidiary after the date hereof, except as otherwise provided in Sections 4.1 and 4.2 above, the Borrower shall promptly upon such formation or acquisition cause such
newly formed or acquired Subsidiary to execute a Guaranty and such Collateral Documents as the Administrative Agent may then require, and the Borrower shall also deliver to the Administrative Agent, or cause such Subsidiary to deliver to the
Administrative Agent, at the Borrower’s cost and expense, such other instruments, documents, certificates, and opinions reasonably required by the Administrative Agent in connection therewith. 

Section 4.5. Operating Accounts. The Borrower shall maintain all of its Deposit Accounts with financial institutions selected by

financial covenants shall be computed and determined in accordance with GAAP in effect prior to such change in accounting principles. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Borrower shall neither be deemed to be in compliance with any
financial covenant hereunder nor out of compliance with any financial covenant hereunder if such state of compliance or noncompliance, as the case may be, would not exist but for the occurrence of a change in accounting principles after the date
hereof.

	SECTION 6.	REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. 

 The Borrower represents and warrants to the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders as follows: 
 Section 6.1. Organization and Qualification. The Borrower is duly organized, validly
existing, and in good standing as a corporation under the laws of the State of Washington. The Borrower has full and adequate power to own its Property and conduct its business as now conducted, and is duly licensed or qualified and in good standing
in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted by it or the nature of the Property owned or leased by it requires such licensing or qualifying, except where the failure to do so would not have a Material Adverse Effect. 

Section 6.2. Subsidiaries. Each Subsidiary is duly incorporated (or otherwise organized if such Subsidiary is not a corporation),
validly existing and in good standing (to the extent the concept of good standing is applicable) under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is incorporated or organized, as the case may be, has full and adequate power to own its Property and
conduct its business as now conducted, and is duly licensed or qualified and in good standing (to the extent the concept of good standing is applicable in such jurisdiction) in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted by it or
the nature of the Property owned or leased by it requires such licensing or qualifying, except where the failure to do so would not have a Material Adverse Effect. Schedule 6.2 hereto identifies each Subsidiary, the jurisdiction of its incorporation
or organization, as the case may be, the percentage of issued and outstanding shares of each class of its capital stock or other equity interests owned by the Borrower and its other Subsidiaries and, if such percentage is not 100% (excluding, if
applicable, directors’ qualifying shares as required by law), a description of each class of its authorized capital stock and other equity interests and the number of shares of each class issued and outstanding. All of the outstanding shares of
capital stock and other equity interests of each Subsidiary are validly issued and outstanding and fully paid and nonassessable and all such shares and other equity interests indicated on Schedule 6.2 as owned by the Borrower or another Subsidiary
are owned, beneficially and of record, by the Borrower or such Subsidiary free and clear of all Liens other than the Liens granted in favor of the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Collateral Documents. There are no outstanding commitments or
other obligations of any Subsidiary to issue, and no options, warrants or other rights of any Person to acquire, any shares of any class of capital stock or other equity interests of any Subsidiary. 

Section 6.3. Authority and Validity of Obligations. The Borrower has full right and authority to enter into this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents executed by it, to make the borrowings herein provided for or under the other Loan Documents, to issue the Notes in evidence thereof, to grant to the Administrative Agent the Liens described in the Collateral Documents, and to
perform all of its obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents executed by it. Each Subsidiary has full right and authority to enter into the Loan Documents executed by it, to guarantee the Obligations, Hedging Liability, and Funds
Transfer and Deposit Account Liability, to grant to the Administrative Agent the Liens described in the Collateral Documents executed by such Person, and to perform all of its obligations under the Loan Documents executed by it. The Loan Documents
delivered by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries 

  
 47 








 
have been duly authorized, executed, and delivered by such Persons and constitute valid and binding obligations of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries enforceable against them in accordance with
their terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and general principles of equity (regardless of whether the application of such
principles is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law); and this Agreement and the other Loan Documents do not, nor does the performance or observance by the Borrower or any Subsidiary of any of the matters and things herein or therein
provided for, (a) contravene or constitute a default under any provision of law or any judgment, injunction, order or decree binding upon the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any provision of the organizational documents (e.g., charter,
articles of incorporation or by-laws, articles of association or operating agreement, partnership agreement, or other similar document) of the Borrower or any Subsidiary, (b) contravene or constitute a default under any covenant, indenture or
agreement of or affecting the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any of its Property, in each case where such contravention or default, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or (c) result in
the creation or imposition of any Lien on any Property of the Borrower or any Subsidiary other than the Liens granted in favor of the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Collateral Documents. 

Section 6.4. Use of Proceeds; Margin Stock. The Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Loans to refinance indebtedness under the
Existing Credit Agreement, for general corporate working capital purposes, to finance acquisitions and capital expenditures, to fund certain fees and expenses associated with the negotiation, documentation, closing and syndication of the credit
facilities provided to the Borrower under the Loan Documents and the Second Lien Related Documents and for such other legal and proper purposes as are consistent with all applicable laws. Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary is engaged in the
business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock (within the meaning of Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), and no part of the proceeds of any Loan or any other extension of
credit made hereunder will be used to purchase or carry any such margin stock or to extend credit to others for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any such margin stock. Margin stock (as hereinabove defined) constitutes less than 25% of the
assets of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries which are subject to any limitation on sale, pledge or other restriction hereunder. The Borrower will not request any Borrowing or Letter of Credit, and the Borrower shall not use, and shall procure that
its Subsidiaries and its or their respective directors, officers, employees and agents shall not use, the proceeds of any Borrowing or Letter of Credit (A) in furtherance of an offer, payment, promise to pay, or authorization of the payment or
giving of money, or anything else of value, to any Person in violation of any Anti-Corruption Laws, (B) for the purpose of funding, financing or facilitating any activities, business or transaction of or with any Sanctioned Person, or in any

Section 6.6. No Material Adverse Change. Since August 31, 2013, there has been no Material Adverse Effect. 

Section 6.7. Full Disclosure. The statements and information furnished to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection
with the negotiation of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the commitments by the Lenders to provide all or part of the financing contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents do not contain any untrue statements of a material fact
or omit a material fact necessary to make the material statements contained herein or therein not misleading, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders acknowledging that as to any projections furnished to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders,
the Borrower only represents that the same were prepared on the basis of information and estimates the Borrower believed to be reasonable. 

Section 6.8. Trademarks, Franchises, and Licenses. The Borrower and its Subsidiaries own, possess, or have the right to use all
necessary patents, licenses, franchises, trademarks, trade names, trade styles, copyrights, trade secrets, know how, and confidential commercial and proprietary information to conduct their businesses as now conducted, without known conflict with

approvals of all federal, state, and local governmental authorities, if any, necessary to conduct their businesses, in each case where the failure to obtain or maintain the same could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No
investigation or proceeding which, if adversely determined, could reasonably be expected to result in revocation or denial of any material license, permit or approval is pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened. 

Section 6.10. Good Title. The Borrower and its Subsidiaries have good and defensible title (or valid leasehold interests) to their
assets as reflected on the most recent consolidated balance sheet of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries furnished to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (except for sales of assets in the ordinary course of business), subject to no Liens other

the Securities and Exchange Commission made by the Borrower before the Closing Date or which are being contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings which prevent enforcement of the matter under contest and as to which adequate reserves
established in accordance with GAAP have been provided, there is no litigation or governmental or arbitration proceeding or labor controversy pending, nor to the knowledge of the Borrower threatened, against the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any of
its Property which, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

taxes, assessments, fees and governmental charges, if any, as are being contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings which prevent enforcement of the matter under contest and as to which adequate reserves established in accordance with
GAAP have been provided. The Borrower does not know of any proposed additional tax assessment against it or its Subsidiaries for which adequate provisions in accordance with GAAP have not been made on their accounts. Adequate provisions in
accordance with GAAP for taxes on the books of the Borrower and each Subsidiary have been made for all open years, and for its current fiscal period. 

Section 6.13. Approvals. No authorization, consent, license or exemption from, or filing or registration with, any court or

approvals which have been obtained prior to the date of this Agreement and remain in full force and effect. 
 Section 6.14.
Affiliate Transactions. Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary is a party to any contracts or agreements with any of its Affiliates (other than with Wholly-owned Subsidiaries) on terms and conditions which are less favorable to the Borrower or
such Subsidiary than would be usual and customary in similar contracts or agreements between Persons not affiliated with each other, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to any Permitted Transaction.

“controlled” by an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

and its Subsidiaries for the four fiscal quarters of the Borrower then ended (the “Total Leverage Ratio”) to be more than (i) 5.00 to 1.0 on the Closing Date and on the last day of each fiscal quarter ending thereafter to and
including August 31, 2015, (ii) 4.50 to 1.0 from November 30, 2015, to and including August 31, 2016, (iii) 4.25 to 1.0 on November 30, 2016, to and including August 31, 2017, and (iv) 3.75 to 1.0 on the last
day of each fiscal quarter thereafter; provided that if the Second Lien Loans are not fully drawn and outstanding in the aggregate principal amount of $25,000,000 prior to the eighteenth month anniversary of the Closing Date, the Total
Leverage Ratio shall not be more than 4.00 to 1.0 from the eighteenth month anniversary of the Closing Date to and including November 30, 2017. 

(b) Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio. As of the last day of each fiscal quarter of the Borrower, the Borrower shall maintain
a ratio of (i) EBITDA of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries for the four consecutive fiscal quarters of the Borrower ended on such date minus Capital Expenditures for the repair or maintenance of property, plant or equipment in the amount
of $4,500,000 during the same period, to (ii) Fixed Charges of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries (with the components thereof determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP) for the same period, of not less than 1.25 to 1. 

(c) Capital Expenditures. The Borrower shall not, nor shall it permit any of its Subsidiaries to, incur Capital
Expenditures in any fiscal year, commencing with the fiscal year ending August 31, 2015, in an aggregate amount in excess of $25,000,000 (the “Permitted Amount”), provided that the Permitted Amount shall be increased to
$35,000,000 for any fiscal year in which the Total Leverage Ratio for the last two fiscal quarters of such fiscal year is less than 2.00 to 1; provided further that so long as no Default shall have occurred and be continuing, if the aggregate
amount of Capital Expenditures for any fiscal year shall be less than the Permitted Amount for such fiscal year, then the amount by which such Permitted Amount for such fiscal year exceeds the actual amount of such Capital Expenditures for such
fiscal year (the “Excess Amount”) 

  
 70 








 
shall be added to the amount of Capital Expenditures permitted for the immediately succeeding (but not any other) fiscal year and, for purposes hereof, the amount of Capital Expenditures made
during any fiscal year shall be deemed to have been made first from the Excess Amount from any previous fiscal year and last from the Permitted Amount for such fiscal year. 

Section 8.23. Compliance with AML Laws and Anti-Corruption Laws. (a) The Borrower shall at all times comply with the
requirements of all AML Laws applicable to the Borrower and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to comply with the requirements of all AML Laws applicable to such Subsidiary. 

(b) The Borrower shall provide the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer, and the Lenders any information regarding the
Borrower, its Affiliates, and its Subsidiaries necessary for the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer, and the Lenders to comply with all applicable AML Laws; provided however, in the case of Affiliates, to the Borrower’s obligations
hereunder are limited to providing information available to the Borrower regarding any Affiliate. 
 (c) If the
Borrower obtains actual knowledge or receives any written notice that the Borrower, any Affiliate or any Subsidiary is named on the then current OFAC List or any other equivalent list for any other AML Laws (such occurrence, an “OFAC
Event”), the Borrower shall promptly (i) give written notice to the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer, and the Lenders of such OFAC Event, and (ii) comply with all applicable laws with respect to such OFAC Event (regardless of
whether the party included on the OFAC List is located within the jurisdiction of the United States of America), and the Borrower hereby authorizes and consents to the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer, and the Lenders taking any and all steps
the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer, or the Lenders deem necessary, in their sole but reasonable discretion, to avoid violation of all applicable laws with respect to any such OFAC Event (including the freezing and/or blocking of assets and
reporting such action to OFAC) and any other AML Laws. 
 (d) The Borrower will maintain in effect and enforce
policies and procedures designed to ensure compliance by the Borrower, its Subsidiaries and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents with Anti-Corruption Laws and applicable Sanctions.

in fact accelerated), or any such Indebtedness for Borrowed Money shall not be paid when due (whether by demand, lapse of time, acceleration or otherwise); 

(g) any judgment or judgments, writ or writs or warrant or warrants of attachment, or any similar process or processes, shall

 (i) any Change of Control shall occur;

 (j) the Borrower or any Subsidiary shall (i) have entered involuntarily against it an order for relief under the

 73 








 Section 9.2. Non-Bankruptcy Defaults. When any Event of Default other than those
described in subsection (j) or (k) of Section 9.1 hereof has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent shall, by written notice to the Borrower: (a) if so directed by the Required Lenders, terminate the remaining
Revolving Credit Commitments and all other obligations of the Lenders hereunder on the date stated in such notice (which may be the date thereof); (b) if so directed by the Required Lenders, declare the principal of and the accrued interest on
all outstanding Loans to be forthwith due and payable and thereupon all outstanding Loans, including both principal and interest thereon, shall be and become immediately due and payable together with all other amounts payable under the Loan
Documents without further demand, presentment, protest or notice of any kind; and (c) if so directed by the Required Lenders, demand that the Borrower immediately pay to the Administrative Agent the full amount then available for drawing under
each or any Letter of Credit, and the Borrower agrees to immediately make such payment and acknowledges and agrees that the Lenders would not have an adequate remedy at law for failure by the Borrower to honor any such demand and that the
Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, shall have the right to require the Borrower to specifically perform such undertaking whether or not any drawings or other demands for payment have been made under any Letter of Credit. The
Administrative Agent, after giving notice to the Borrower pursuant to Section 9.1(c) or this Section 9.2, shall also promptly send a copy of such notice to the other Lenders, but the failure to do so shall not impair or annul the effect of
such notice. 
 Section 9.3. Bankruptcy Defaults. When any Event of Default described in subsections (j) or (k) of
Section 9.1 hereof has occurred and is continuing, then all outstanding Loans shall immediately become due and payable together with all other amounts payable under the Loan Documents without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind,
the obligation of the Lenders to extend further credit pursuant to any of the terms hereof shall immediately terminate and the Borrower shall immediately pay to the Administrative Agent the full amount then available for drawing under all
outstanding Letters of Credit, the Borrower acknowledging and agreeing that the Lenders would not have an adequate remedy at law for failure by the Borrower to honor any such demand and that the Lenders, and the Administrative Agent on their behalf,
shall have the right to require the Borrower to specifically perform such undertaking whether or not any draws or other demands for payment have been made under any of the Letters of Credit. 

Section 9.4. Collateral for Undrawn Letters of Credit. (a) If the Borrower is required to deliver Cash Collateral under
Section 1.2(b) or 1.15 hereof or if the prepayment of the amount available for drawing under any or all outstanding Letters of Credit is required under Section 1.8(b) or under Section 9.2 or 9.3 above, the Borrower shall forthwith pay
the amount required to be so prepaid, to be held by the Administrative Agent as provided in subsection (b) below. 
 (b)
All amounts delivered or prepaid pursuant to subsection (a) above shall be held by the Administrative Agent in one or more separate collateral accounts (each such account, and the credit balances, properties, and any investments from time to
time held therein, and any substitutions for such account, any certificate of deposit or other instrument evidencing any of the foregoing and all proceeds of and earnings on any of the 

  
 74 








 
foregoing being collectively called the “Collateral Account”) as security for, and for application by the Administrative Agent (to the extent available) to, the reimbursement of
any payment under any Letter of Credit then or thereafter made by the Administrative Agent, and to the payment of the unpaid balance of any other Obligations. The Collateral Account shall be held in the name of and subject to the exclusive dominion
and control of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, and the L/C Issuer. If and when requested by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall invest funds held in the Collateral Account from time to time
in direct obligations of, or obligations the principal of and interest on which are unconditionally guaranteed by, the United States of America with a remaining maturity of one year or less, provided that the Administrative Agent is
irrevocably authorized to sell investments held in the Collateral Account when and as required to make payments out of the Collateral Account for application to amounts due and owing from the Borrower to the L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent or
the Lenders; provided, however, that (i) if the Borrower shall have made payment of all obligations referred to in subsection (a) above (ii) all relevant preference or other disgorgement periods relating to the receipt
of such payments have passed, and (iii) no Letters of Credit, Revolving Credit Commitments, Loans or other Obligations remain outstanding, at the request of the Borrower the Administrative Agent shall release to the Borrower any remaining
amounts held in the Collateral Account. 
 Section 9.5. Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall give notice to the
Borrower under Section 9.1(c) hereof promptly upon being requested to do so by any Lender and shall thereupon notify all the Lenders thereof. 

Section 9.6. Expenses. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and any other holder of any Note
outstanding hereunder, all costs and expenses reasonably incurred or paid by the Administrative Agent and such Lender or any such holder, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs, in connection with any Default or Event of Default
hereunder or in connection with the enforcement of any of the Loan Documents (including all such costs and expenses incurred in connection with any proceeding under the United States Bankruptcy Code involving the Borrower or any Subsidiary as a
debtor thereunder). 
 Section 9.7. Right to Cure. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
Section 9.1, in the event the Borrower anticipates that it will not be able to comply or fails to comply with the requirements of any covenant set forth in Sections 8.22(a) and (b), on or before the date on which a certificate of an
Authorized Representative certifying compliance with Sections 8.22(a) and (b) is required to be delivered pursuant to Section 8.5(j), the Borrower may, subject to Section 9.7(b), notify the Administrative Agent that it intends to
exercise its Cure Right (as defined below) (each such notice, a “Cure Notice”), and if the Borrower has given a Cure Notice then the Lenders shall not exercise their remedies with respect to Sections 8.22(a) and (b), as
applicable, provided that within 20 Business Days after the date the Cure Notice is given, the Borrower shall issue common and/or preferred stock to any Person other than the Borrower or a Subsidiary for cash or otherwise receive cash
contributions, in each case, on terms and conditions acceptable to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount equal to the amount necessary to cure the relevant failure to comply with Sections 8.22(a) and (b) by means


  
 75 








 
of the repayment of Total Funded Debt (collectively, the “Cure Right”), and upon the receipt by the Borrower of such cash (the “Cure Amount”) pursuant to the
exercise by the Borrower of such Cure Right and the application within such 20 Business Day period of the Cure Amount to the payment of Loans and Reimbursement Obligations outstanding hereunder, the covenants in Sections 8.22(a) and
(b) shall be recalculated giving effect to the following pro forma adjustments: 
 (i) the Cure Amount shall be deemed
to have been applied to the payment of Loans and Reimbursement Obligations hereunder (x) as of the last day of the fiscal quarter for which a Cure Right has been exercised in the case of the Total Leverage Ratio contained in
Section 8.22(a) and (y) as of the first day of the four consecutive fiscal quarters of the Borrower ended on the last day of the fiscal quarter for which a Cure Right has been exercised in the case of the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio
contained in Section 8.22(b); and 
 (ii) if after giving effect to the foregoing recalculations, the Borrower shall
then be in compliance with the requirements of Section 8.22(a) and (b) the Borrower shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of Section 8.22 as of the relevant date of determination with the same effect as though there had
been no failure to comply therewith at such date, and the applicable breach or default of the covenants in Section 8.22 that had occurred shall be deemed cured for the purposes of this Agreement. 

(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Borrower exercises the Cure Right in more than two quarters in any
four-quarter period, the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be permanently reduced without any action by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any Lender by an amount equal to the aggregate amount of all proceeds of equity received by the
Borrower in connection with the exercise of such Cure Right, and each Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment shall be reduced by its Revolver Percentage of such reduction. 
  


	SECTION 10.	CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES. 

 Section 10.1. Change of Law. Notwithstanding any other
provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, if at any time any Change in Law makes it unlawful for any Lender to make or continue to maintain any Eurodollar Loans in the relevant currency or to perform its obligations as contemplated
hereby, such Lender shall promptly give notice thereof to the Borrower and such Lender’s obligations to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans under this Agreement shall be suspended until it is no longer unlawful for such Lender to make or maintain
Eurodollar Loans in such currency. The Borrower shall prepay on demand the outstanding principal amount of any such affected Eurodollar Loans, together with all interest accrued thereon and all other amounts then due and payable to such Lender under
this Agreement; provided, however, subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Borrower may then elect to borrow the principal amount of the affected Eurodollar Loans from such Lender by means of Base Rate Loans
from such Lender, which Base Rate Loans shall not be made ratably by the Lenders but only from such affected Lender. 

  
 76 








 Section 10.2. Unavailability of Deposits or Inability to Ascertain, or Inadequacy of,
LIBOR. If on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period for any Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans: 
 (a) the
Administrative Agent determines that deposits in the applicable currency (in the applicable amounts) are not being offered to it in the interbank Eurodollar market for such Interest Period, or that by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank
Eurodollar market adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable LIBOR, or 
 (b) the Required
Lenders advise the Administrative Agent that (i) LIBOR as determined by the Administrative Agent will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding their Eurodollar Loans for such Interest Period or (ii) that the
making or funding of Eurodollar Loans become impracticable, then the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders, whereupon until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that the circumstances
giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligations of the Lenders to make Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended. 
 Section 10.3.
Increased Cost and Reduced Return. (a) If any Change in Law: 
 (i) shall subject any Lender (or its Lending Office)
to any tax, duty or other charge with respect to its Eurodollar Loans, its Notes, its Letter(s) of Credit, or its participation in any thereof, any Reimbursement Obligations owed to it or its obligation to make Eurodollar Loans, issue a Letter of
Credit, or to participate therein, or shall change the basis of taxation of payments to any Lender (or its Lending Office) of the principal of or interest on its Eurodollar Loans, Letter(s) of Credit, or participations therein or any other amounts
due under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in respect of its Eurodollar Loans, Letter(s) of Credit, any participation therein, any Reimbursement Obligations owed to it, or its obligation to make Eurodollar Loans, or issue a Letter of
Credit, or acquire participations therein (except for changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of such Lender or its Lending Office imposed by the jurisdiction in which such Lender’s principal executive office or Lending Office is
located); or 
 (ii) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge
or similar requirement (including, without limitation, any such requirement imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, but excluding with respect to any Eurodollar Loans any such requirement included in an applicable
Eurocurrency Reserve Percentage) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (or its Lending Office) or shall impose on any Lender (or its Lending Office) or on the interbank market any other condition
affecting its Eurodollar Loans, its Notes, its Letter(s) of Credit, or its participation in any thereof, any Reimbursement Obligation owed to it, or its obligation to make Eurodollar Loans, or to issue a Letter of Credit, or to participate therein;


  
 77 








 and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender (or its Lending Office) of making
or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan, issuing or maintaining a Letter of Credit, or participating therein, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender (or its Lending Office) under this Agreement or under any other Loan
Document with respect thereto, by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then, within 15 days after demand by such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall be obligated to pay to such Lender such additional
amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction. 
 (b) If, after the date hereof, any
Lender or the Administrative Agent shall have determined that the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy or liquidity requirements, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration
thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender (or its Lending Office) or any Person controlling such Lender with any request or
directive regarding capital adequacy or liquidity requirements (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has had the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such
Person’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or such Person could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such
Person’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, within 15 days after demand by such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such
Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such reduction. 
 (c) A certificate of a Lender
claiming compensation under this Section 10.3 and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive if reasonably determined. In determining such amount, such Lender may use any reasonable averaging
and attribution methods. 
 Section 10.4. Lending Offices. Each Lender may, at its option, elect to make its Loans hereunder at
the branch, office or affiliate specified on the appropriate signature page hereof (each a “Lending Office”) for each type of Loan available hereunder or at such other of its branches, offices or affiliates as it may from time to
time elect and designate in a written notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. To the extent reasonably possible, a Lender shall designate an alternative branch or funding office with respect to its Eurodollar Loans to reduce any
liability of the Borrower to such Lender under Section 10.3 hereof or to avoid the unavailability of Eurodollar Loans under Section 10.2 hereof, so long as such designation is not otherwise disadvantageous to the Lender. 

Section 10.5. Discretion of Lender as to Manner of Funding. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each Lender
shall be entitled to fund and maintain its funding of all or any part of its Loans in any manner it sees fit, it being understood, however, that for the purposes of this Agreement all determinations hereunder with respect to Eurodollar Loans shall
be made as if each Lender had actually funded and maintained each Eurodollar Loan through the purchase of deposits in the interbank eurodollar market having a maturity corresponding to such Loan’s Interest Period, and bearing an interest rate
equal to LIBOR for such Interest Period. 

  
 78 









	SECTION 11.	THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT. 

 Section 11.1. Appointment and Authorization of
Administrative Agent. Each Lender and L/C Issuer hereby appoints Rabobank to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents and hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as Administrative Agent on its
behalf and to exercise such powers under the Loan Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Section are solely for the benefit
of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, and the Borrower and Guarantors shall not have rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein
or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead
such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties. 

Section 11.2. Administrative Agent and its Affiliates. The Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise or refrain from exercising such rights and power as though it were not the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and its affiliates may
accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Affiliate of the Borrower as if it were not the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents and without any duty to account therefor to the
Lenders. The term “Lender” as used herein and in all other Loan Documents, unless the context otherwise clearly requires, includes the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender. References in Section 1 hereof
to the Administrative Agent’s Loans, or to the amount owing to the Administrative Agent for which an interest rate is being determined, refer to the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender. 

Section 11.3. Action by Administrative Agent. If the Administrative Agent receives from the Borrower a written notice of an Event
of Default pursuant to Section 8.5 hereof, the Administrative Agent shall promptly give each of the Lenders written notice thereof. The obligations of the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents are only those expressly set forth therein.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action hereunder with respect to any Default or Event of Default, except as expressly provided in Sections 9.2 and 9.5, and shall not,
except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or
obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall take such action to enforce its Lien on the Collateral and to preserve
and protect the Collateral as may be directed by the Required Lenders. Unless and until the Required Lenders give such direction, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take or refrain 

  
 79 








 
from taking such actions as it deems appropriate and in the best interest of all the Lenders. In no event, however, shall the Administrative Agent be required to take any action that, in its
opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or is in violation of applicable law or of any provision of any Loan Document (including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the
automatic stay under any bankruptcy or insolvency law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any bankruptcy or insolvency law), and the Administrative Agent shall in all cases
be fully justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder or under any other Loan Document unless it first receives any further assurances of its indemnification from the Lenders that it may require, including prepayment of any related expenses and
any other protection it requires against any and all costs, expense, and liability which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to assume that no Default or Event
of Default exists unless notified in writing to the contrary by a Lender or the Borrower. In all cases in which the Loan Documents do not require the Administrative Agent to take specific action, the Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in
using its discretion in failing to take or in taking any action thereunder. Any instructions of the Required Lenders, or of any other group of Lenders called for under the specific provisions of the Loan Documents, shall be binding upon all the
Secured Parties. 
 Section 11.4. Consultation with Experts. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel,
independent public accountants, and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts. 

Section 11.5. Liability of Administrative Agent; Credit Decision. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Affiliated
Parties shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in connection with the Loan Documents: (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct
(as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction). Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into or verify: (i) any
statement, warranty or representation made in connection with this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any Credit Event; (ii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or agreements of the Borrower or any Subsidiary contained
herein or in any other Loan Document or the occurrence of any Default; (iii) the satisfaction of any condition specified in Section 7 hereof, except receipt of items required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant to
Section 7; or (iv) the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability, perfection, value, worth or collectibility hereof or of any other Loan Document or of any other documents or writing furnished in connection with any Loan
Document or of any Collateral; and the Administrative Agent makes no representation of any kind or character with respect to any such matter mentioned in this sentence. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under any of the Loan
Documents by or through employees, agents, and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be answerable to the Lenders, the Borrower, or any other Person for the default or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected with reasonable care. The
Administrative Agent shall not incur any liability by acting in reliance upon any notice, consent, certificate, other document or statement (whether written or oral and including by telephone and any electronic message, Internet or intranet


  
 80 








 
website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine or to be sent by the proper party or parties. In particular and without limiting any of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent
shall have no responsibility for confirming the accuracy of any compliance certificate or other document or instrument received by it under the Loan Documents. The Administrative Agent may treat the payee of any Note as the holder thereof until
written notice of transfer shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent signed by such payee in form satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. Each Lender acknowledges that it has independently and without reliance on the Administrative Agent
or any other Lender, and based upon such information, investigations and inquiries as it deems appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to extend credit to the Borrower in the manner set forth in the Loan Documents. It shall be the
responsibility of each Lender to keep itself informed as to the creditworthiness of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, and the Administrative Agent shall have no liability to any Lender with respect thereto. 

Section 11.6. Indemnity. The Lenders shall ratably, in accordance with their respective Revolver Percentages, indemnify and hold
the Administrative Agent, and its Affiliated Parties, and representatives harmless from and against any liabilities, losses, costs or expenses suffered or incurred by it under any Loan Document or in connection with the transactions contemplated
thereby, regardless of when asserted or arising, except to the extent they are promptly reimbursed for the same by the Borrower and except to the extent that any event giving rise to a claim was caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct
of the party seeking to be indemnified (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction). The obligations of the Lenders under this Section shall survive termination of this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to offset
amounts received for the account of a Lender under this Agreement against unpaid amounts due from such Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder (whether as fundings of participations, indemnities or otherwise), but shall not be entitled to
offset against amounts owed to the Administrative Agent by any Lender arising outside of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 

Section 11.7. Resignation of Administrative Agent and Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign at any
time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation of the Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent subject, so long as no Default or
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, to the Borrower’s prior written consent (which will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders, and
shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which
may be any Lender hereunder or any commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States of America or of any State thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $200,000,000 subject, so long as no Default or Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing, to the Borrower’s prior written consent (which will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Upon the acceptance of its appointment as the Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor Administrative
Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be 

  
 81 








 
discharged from its duties and obligations thereunder. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 11 and all
protective provisions of the other Loan Documents shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent, but no successor Administrative Agent shall in any event be liable or responsible
for any actions of its predecessor. If the Administrative Agent resigns and no successor is appointed, the rights and obligations of such Administrative Agent shall be automatically assumed by the Required Lenders and (i) the Borrower shall be
directed to make all payments due each Lender hereunder directly to such Lender and (ii) the Administrative Agent’s rights in the Collateral Documents shall be assigned without representation, recourse or warranty to the Lenders as their
interests may appear. 
 Section 11.8. L/C Issuer; Delegation of Duties. The L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Lenders with
respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith. The L/C Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (i) provided to the Administrative Agent in this Section 11 with respect to any acts taken
or omissions suffered by the L/C Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and the Applications pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent”, as used in
this Section 11, included the L/C Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions and (ii) as additionally provided in this Agreement with respect to such L/C Issuer. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and
exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub agent may perform any and all of its duties and
exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Affiliated Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Section 11 shall apply to any such sub agent and to the Affiliated Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub agent.
The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted
with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub agents. 
 Section 11.9. Hedging Liability and Funds
Transfer and Deposit Account Liability Arrangements. By virtue of a Lender’s execution of this Agreement or an assignment agreement pursuant to Section 13.12 hereof, as the case may be, any Affiliate of such Lender with whom the
Borrower or any Subsidiary has entered into an agreement creating Hedging Liability or Funds Transfer and Deposit Account Liability shall be bound by the terms of the Loan Documents, it being understood and agreed that the rights and benefits of
such Affiliate under the Loan Documents consist exclusively of such Affiliate’s right to share in payments and collections out of the Collateral and the Guaranties as more fully set forth in Section 3.1 hereof; provided that for the
avoidance of doubt, (a) the Hedging Liability and Funds Transfer and Deposit Account Liability shall be secured and guaranteed pursuant to the Loan Documents only to the extent that, and for so long as, the Obligations are so secured and
guaranteed, (b) any release of Collateral or any Guarantors effected in the manner permitted by this Agreement shall not require the consent of holders of Hedging 

  
 82 








 
Liability or Funds Transfer and Deposit Account Liability, and (c) the Administrative Agent shall not owe any fiduciary duty, duty of loyalty, duty of care, duty of disclosure, or any other
obligation whatsoever to any holders of Hedging Liability or Funds Transfer and Deposit Account Liability. Notwithstanding the foregoing: (i) neither the Administrative Agent, any Lender, the Borrower nor any Guarantor shall be obligated to
deliver any notice or communication required to be delivered to any Lender under any Loan Documents to any Affiliate of any Lender; and (ii) no Affiliate of any Lender that is owed any Hedging Liability or Funds Transfer and Deposit Account
Liability shall be included in the determination of the Required Lenders or entitled to consent to, reject, or participate in any manner in any amendment, waiver or other modification of any Loan Document. The Administrative Agent shall deal solely
and directly with the related Lender of any such Affiliate in connection with all matters relating to the Loan Documents. In connection with any such distribution of payments and collections or termination or release by the Administrative Agent of
any Liens or Guarantors thereunder, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to assume no amounts are due to any Lender or its Affiliate with respect to Hedging Liability or Funds Transfer and Deposit Account Liability unless such Lender has
notified the Administrative Agent in writing of the amount of any such liability owed to it or its Affiliate at least five Business Days prior to such distribution, termination or release. 

Section 11.10. Designation of Additional Agents. The Administrative Agent shall have the continuing right, for purposes hereof, at
any time and from time to time to designate one or more of the Lenders (and/or its or their Affiliates) as “syndication agents,” “documentation agents,” “arrangers,” or other designations for purposes hereto, but such
designation shall have no substantive effect, and such Lenders and their Affiliates shall have no additional powers, duties or responsibilities as a result thereof. 

Section 11.11. Authorization to Release or Subordinate or Limit Liens. The Administrative Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized
by each of the Lenders to (a) release any Lien covering any Collateral that is sold, transferred, or otherwise disposed of in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the relevant Collateral Documents (including a sale,
transfer, or disposition permitted by the terms of Section 8.10 hereof or which has otherwise been consented to in accordance with Section 13.13 hereof), (b) release or subordinate any Lien on Collateral consisting of goods financed
with purchase money indebtedness or under a Capital Lease to the extent such purchase money indebtedness or Capitalized Lease Obligation, and the Lien securing the same, are permitted by Sections 8.7(b) and 8.8(d) hereof, (c) reduce or limit
the amount of the indebtedness secured by any particular item of Collateral to an amount not less than the estimated value thereof to the extent necessary to reduce mortgage registry, filing and similar tax, (d) release Liens on the Collateral
following Full Satisfaction of the Obligations and, if then outstanding and unpaid, Hedging Liability and Funds Transfer and Deposit Account Liability, (e) confirm in writing whether specific items or types of the Borrower’s or any
Guarantor’s property are or are not included in the Collateral pursuant to the Loan Documents, and (f) enter into the Intercreditor Agreement and perform all obligations thereunder, and to enter into any amendments of the Intercreditor
Agreement which do not materially modify the rights of the Secured Parties thereunder. Each Secured Party agrees to be bound by the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and each Secured Party hereby acknowledges and agrees that, as of the date
hereof, Rabobank will be acting as the Second Lien Agent, including under the Intercreditor Agreement. 

  
 83 








 The Administrative Agent, at the sole expense of the Borrower, shall execute and deliver to the
Borrower all releases or other documents reasonably necessary or desirable to evidence or effect any release of Liens authorized under this Section; provided, that (i) the Administrative Agent shall not be required to execute any document
necessary to evidence such release (other than a release pursuant to clause (d) above) unless a responsible officer of the Borrower shall certify in writing to the Administrative Agent that the transaction requiring such release is permitted
under the Loan Documents (it being acknowledged that the Administrative Agent may rely on any such certificate without further inquiry), (ii) the Administrative Agent shall not be required to execute any document necessary to evidence such
release on terms that, in the Administrative Agent’s opinion, would expose the Administrative Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such Lien without recourse, representation, or
warranty, and (iii) no such release in connection with a permitted sale or transfer shall in any manner discharge, affect, or impair the Obligations or any Liens (other than those expressly being released) upon all interests retained by the
Borrower and the Guarantors, including, the proceeds of any such sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral. The Administrative Agent agrees with the Borrower that upon the Full Satisfaction of the Obligations and, if
then outstanding and unpaid, Hedging Liability and Funds Transfer and Deposit Account Liability, the Administrative Agent shall release all Liens on the Collateral, at the Borrower’s cost and expense and the Administrative Agent agrees with the
Borrower that the costs of the Administrative Agent and its agents that are passed on to the Borrower shall be reasonable. 

Section 11.12. Authorization to Enter into, and Enforcement of, the Collateral Documents. The Administrative Agent is hereby
irrevocably authorized by each of the Lenders to execute and deliver the Collateral Documents (including control agreements and collateral access agreements which may be delivered from time to time) on behalf of each of the Lenders and their
Affiliates and to take such action and exercise such powers under the Collateral Documents as the Administrative Agent considers appropriate and, in connection with any such agreements with a third party other than the Borrower and its Affiliates,
to undertake indemnification and expense reimbursement obligations as may be customary for such agreements, provided the Administrative Agent shall not amend the Collateral Documents in any manner which materially and adversely modifies the rights
of the Secured Parties thereunder unless such amendment is agreed to in writing by the Required Lenders or all of the Lenders if required by Section 13.13. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that it will be bound by the terms and conditions of
the Collateral Documents upon the execution and delivery thereof by the Administrative Agent. Except as otherwise specifically provided for herein, no Lender (or its Affiliates) other than the Administrative Agent shall have the right to institute
any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law for the foreclosure or other realization upon any Collateral or for the execution of any trust or power in respect of the Collateral or for the appointment of a receiver or for the enforcement of
any other remedy under the Collateral Documents; it being understood and intended that no one or more of the Lenders (or their Affiliates) shall have any right in any manner whatsoever to affect, disturb or prejudice the Lien of the Administrative
Agent (or any security trustee therefor) under the Collateral Documents by its or their action or to enforce any right thereunder, and that all proceedings at law or in equity shall be instituted, had, and maintained by the Administrative Agent (or
its security trustee) in the manner provided for in the relevant Collateral Documents for the benefit of the Lenders and their Affiliates. 

  
 84 








 Section 11.13. Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency
of any proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Borrower or Guarantor, 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 (but not obligated) 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 L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent (including any
claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the
Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents) 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 and the L/C Issuer 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 and the L/C Issuer, 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 the Loan Documents. 
  

	SECTION 12.	THE GUARANTEES. 

 Section 12.1. The Guarantees. To induce the Lenders to provide the
credits described herein and in consideration of benefits expected to accrue to the Borrower by reason of the Revolving Credit Commitments and for other good and valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, each Subsidiary party
hereto in accordance with Section 4.1 hereof (including any Subsidiary formed or acquired after the Closing Date executing an Additional Guarantor Supplement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F or such other form acceptable to the
Administrative Agent) hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees jointly and severally to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and their Affiliates, the due and punctual payment of all present and future Obligations, Hedging
Liability (excluding, with respect to any Guarantor party hereto at any time, Excluded Hedging Liability with respect to such Guarantor at such time), and Funds Transfer and Deposit Account Liability, including, but not limited to, the due and
punctual payment of principal of and interest on the Loans, the Reimbursement Obligations, and the due and punctual payment of all other Obligations now or hereafter owed by the Borrower under the Loan Documents as and when the same shall become due
and payable, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration, or otherwise, according to the terms 

  
 85 








 
hereof and thereof. This is a guarantee of payment and not of collection. In case of failure by the Borrower or other obligor punctually to pay any Obligations, Hedging Liability, or Funds
Transfer and Deposit Account Liability guaranteed hereby, each Guarantor hereby unconditionally agrees to make such payment or to cause such payment to be made punctually as and when the same shall become due and payable, whether at stated maturity,
by acceleration, or otherwise, and as if such payment were made by the Borrower or such obligor. 
 Section 12.2. Guarantee
Unconditional. The obligations of each Guarantor under this Section 12 shall be unconditional and absolute and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, shall not be released, discharged, or otherwise affected by: 

(a) any extension, renewal, settlement, compromise, waiver, or release in respect of any obligation of the Borrower or other
obligor or of any other guarantor under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or by operation of law or otherwise; 
 (b)
any modification or amendment of or supplement to this Agreement or any other Loan Document; 
 (c) any change in the
corporate existence, structure, or ownership of, or any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, or other similar proceeding affecting, the Borrower or other obligor, any other guarantor, or any of their respective assets, or any resulting release or
discharge of any obligation of the Borrower or other obligor or of any other guarantor contained in any Loan Document; 
 (d)
the existence of any claim, set-off, or other rights which the Borrower or other obligor or any other guarantor may have at any time against the Administrative Agent, any Lender, or any other Person, whether or not arising in connection herewith;

 (e) any failure to assert, or any assertion of, any claim or demand or any exercise of, or failure to exercise, any rights
or remedies against the Borrower or other obligor, any other guarantor, or any other Person or Property; 
 (f) any
application of any sums by whomsoever paid or howsoever realized to any obligation of the Borrower or other obligor, regardless of what obligations of the Borrower or other obligor remain unpaid, other than the payment in full of the indebtedness,
obligations and liabilities guarantied hereby, but subject to the last sentence of Section 12.3; 
 (g) any invalidity
or unenforceability relating to or against the Borrower or other obligor or any other guarantor for any reason of this Agreement or of any other Loan Document or any provision of applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit the payment by the
Borrower or other obligor or any other guarantor of the principal of or interest on any Note or any Reimbursement Obligation or any other amount payable under the Loan Documents; or 

(h) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by the Administrative Agent, any Lender, or any other Person or any
other circumstance whatsoever that might, but for the provisions of this paragraph, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the obligations of any Guarantor under this Section 12. 

  
 86 








 Section 12.3. Discharge Only upon Full Satisfaction; Reinstatement in Certain
Circumstances. Each Guarantor’s obligations under this Section 12 shall remain in full force and effect until the Revolving Credit Commitments and all Letters of Credit have been Fully Satisfied, and the principal of and interest on
the Loans and all other amounts payable by the Borrower and the Guarantors under this Agreement and all other Loan Documents and, if then outstanding and unpaid, all Hedging Liability and Funds Transfer and Deposit Account Liability shall have been
Fully Satisfied. If at any time any payment of the principal of or interest on any Note or any Reimbursement Obligation or any other amount payable by the Borrower or other obligor or any Guarantor under the Loan Documents is rescinded or must be
otherwise restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, or reorganization of the Borrower or other obligor or of any guarantor, or otherwise, each Guarantor’s obligations under this Section 12 with respect to such payment shall be
reinstated at such time as though such payment had become due but had not been made at such time. 
 Section 12.4. Subrogation.
Each Guarantor agrees it will not exercise any rights which it may acquire by way of subrogation by any payment made hereunder, or otherwise, until all the Obligations, Hedging Liability, and Funds Transfer and Deposit Account Liability shall have
been Fully Satisfied. If any amount shall be paid to a Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time prior to the Full Satisfaction of the Obligations, Hedging Liability, and Funds Transfer and Deposit Account Liability, such amount
shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and shall forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders or be credited and applied upon the Obligations, Hedging Liability, and Funds
Transfer and Deposit Account Liability, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 

Section 12.5. Waivers. Each Guarantor irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, presentment, demand, protest, and any notice not
provided for herein, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by the Administrative Agent, any Lender, or any other Person against the Borrower or other obligor, another guarantor, or any other Person. 

Section 12.6. Limit on Recovery. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the right of recovery against each Guarantor under
this Section 12 shall not exceed $1.00 less than the lowest amount which would render such Guarantor’s obligations under this Section 12 void or voidable under applicable law, including, without limitation, fraudulent conveyance law.

 Section 12.7. Stay of Acceleration. If acceleration of the time for payment of any amount payable by the Borrower or other
obligor under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or under any agreement establishing Hedging Liability or Funds Transfer and Deposit Account Liability, is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or such
obligor, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or under any agreement relating to Hedging Liability or Funds Transfer and Deposit Account Liability, shall nonetheless be
payable by the Guarantors hereunder forthwith on demand by the Administrative Agent made at the request of the Required Lenders. 

  
 87 








 Section 12.8. Benefit to Guarantors. The Borrower and the Guarantors are engaged in
related businesses and integrated to such an extent that the financial strength and flexibility of the Borrower has a direct impact on the success of each Guarantor. Each Guarantor will derive substantial direct and indirect benefit from the
extensions of credit hereunder. 
 Section 12.9. Guarantor Covenants. Each Guarantor shall take such action as the Borrower is
required by this Agreement to cause such Guarantor to take, and shall refrain from taking such action as the Borrower is required by this Agreement to prohibit such Guarantor from taking. Each Guarantor (each referred to herein as a
“Subordinated Creditor”) hereby subordinates the payment of all indebtedness, obligations, and liabilities of the Borrower or other Guarantor owing to such Subordinated Creditor, whether now existing or hereafter arising, to the
indefeasible payment in full in cash of all Obligations. During the existence of any Event of Default, subject to Section 12.4 above, any such indebtedness, obligation, or liability of the Borrower or other Guarantor owing to such Subordinated
Creditor shall be enforced and performance received by such Subordinated Creditor as trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties and the proceeds thereof shall be paid over to the Administrative Agent for application to the Secured Obligations
(whether or not then due), but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of such Guarantor under this Section 12. 

Section 12.10. Keepwell. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably
undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by Borrower and each Guarantor to honor all of its obligations under this Agreement in respect of Hedging Liabilities (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP
Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section 12.10 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 12.10, or otherwise under this Agreement, voidable under
applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section 12.10 shall remain in full force and effect until such time as the
Secured Obligations have been Fully Satisfied and all Commitments under this Agreement have been terminated. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section 12.10 constitute, and this Section 12.10 shall be deemed to constitute, a
“keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of Borrower and each Guarantor for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act. 

 

	SECTION 13.	MISCELLANEOUS. 

 Section 13.1. Taxes. 

(a) Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section 13.1, the term “Lender” includes any L/C Issuer
and the term “applicable law” includes FATCA. 
 (b) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on
account of any obligation of Borrower or any Guarantor 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 

  
 88 








 
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 Borrower or the applicable Guarantor shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums
payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made. 

(c) Payment of Other Taxes by Borrower and the Guarantors. Borrower and the Guarantors shall timely pay to the
relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes. 

(d) Indemnification by Borrower and the Guarantors. Borrower and the Guarantors 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) 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 Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to Administrative Agent), or by Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive
absent manifest error. 
 (e) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify
Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that Borrower or any Guarantor has not already indemnified Administrative Agent for such Indemnified
Taxes and without limiting the obligation of Borrower or the Guarantors to do so), (ii) any taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 13.11 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 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 Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent
manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes 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 Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source
against any amount due to Administrative Agent under this Section 13.1(e). 
 (f) Evidence of Payments. As soon
as practicable after any payment of taxes by Borrower or any Guarantor to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 13.1(f), 

  
 89 








 
Borrower or such Guarantor shall deliver to 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 Administrative Agent. 
 (g) Status of
Lenders. 
 (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to
payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by
Borrower or 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 Borrower or Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other
documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent as will enable Borrower or 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 clauses (A), (B), and (D) of
Section 13.1(g)(ii)) 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 Borrower and 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 Borrower or Administrative Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup
withholding tax; 
 (B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower and
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
Borrower or 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 (I) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption
from, or 

  
 90 








 
reduction of, U.S. federal withholding tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (II) 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, (I) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit 13.1-1 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
Borrower or the Guarantors within the meaning of Section 871(h)(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 (II) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable; or 

(4) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form
W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit 13.1-2 or Exhibit 13.1-3, 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 13.1-4 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 Borrower and 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 Borrower or 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 Borrower or 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


  
 91 








 
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 Borrower and Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by
Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent as may be necessary for Borrower and 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 Borrower and Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. 

(h) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has
received a refund of any taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 13.1 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 13.1), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such
refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the 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 13.1(h)
(plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Section 13.1(h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 13.1(h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-tax
position than the indemnified party would have been in if the tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld, or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to
such tax had never been paid. This Section 13.1(h) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party
or any other Person. 
 (i) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 13.1 shall survive the
resignation or replacement of Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction, or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document. 

  
 92 








 Section 13.2. No Waiver, Cumulative Remedies. No delay or failure on the part of the
Administrative Agent or any Lender or on the part of the holder or holders of any of the Secured Obligations in the exercise of any power or right under any Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof or as an acquiescence in any default, nor
shall any single or partial exercise of any power or right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power or right. The rights and remedies hereunder of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and of the holder or
holders of any of the Secured Obligations are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies which any of them would otherwise have. 

Section 13.3. Non-Business Days. If any payment hereunder becomes due and payable on a day which is not a Business Day, the due
date of such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day on which date such payment shall be due and payable. In the case of any payment of principal falling due on a day which is not a Business Day, interest on such principal
amount shall continue to accrue during such extension at the rate per annum then in effect, which accrued amount shall be due and payable on the next scheduled date for the payment of interest. 

Section 13.4. Documentary Taxes. The Borrower agrees to pay on demand any documentary, stamp or similar taxes payable in respect
of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, including interest and penalties, in the event any such taxes are assessed, irrespective of when such assessment is made and whether or not any credit is then in use or available hereunder. 

Section 13.5. Survival of Representations. All representations and warranties made herein or in any other Loan Document or in
certificates given pursuant hereto or thereto shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and shall continue in full force and effect with respect to the date as of which they were made as long as any
credit is in use or available hereunder. 
 Section 13.6. Survival of Indemnities. All indemnities and other provisions relative
to reimbursement to the Lenders of amounts sufficient to protect the yield of the Lenders with respect to the Loans and Letters of Credit, including, but not limited to, Sections 1.11, 10.3, 13.1, and 13.15 hereof, shall survive the termination
of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the payment of the Obligations. 
 Section 13.7. Sharing of Set-Off. Each
Lender agrees with each other Lender a party hereto that if such Lender shall receive and retain any payment, whether by set-off or application of deposit balances or otherwise, on any of the Loans or Reimbursement Obligations in excess of its
ratable share of payments on all such Obligations then outstanding to the Lenders, then such Lender shall purchase for cash at face value, but without recourse, ratably from each of the other Lenders such amount of the Loans or Reimbursement
Obligations, or participations therein, held by each such other Lenders (or interest therein) as shall be necessary to cause such Lender to share such excess payment ratably with all the other Lenders; provided, however: 

(a) that if any such purchase is made by any Lender, and if such excess payment or part thereof is thereafter recovered from
such purchasing Lender, the related purchases from the other Lenders shall be rescinded ratably and the purchase price restored as to the portion of such excess payment so recovered, but without interest, and 

(b) 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), or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a
participation in any of its Loans or participations in L/C Obligations to any assignee or participant permitted by this Agreement. 

  
 93 








 For purposes of this Section, amounts owed to or recovered by the L/C Issuer in connection with Reimbursement
Obligations in which Lenders have been required to fund their participation shall be treated as amounts owed to or recovered by the L/C Issuer as a Lender hereunder. 

Section 13.8. Notices. Except as otherwise specified herein, all notices and communications (“Communications”) hereunder
and under the other Loan Documents shall be in writing (including, without limitation, notice by email or telecopy) and shall be delivered by hand or overnight courier service, mailed by certified or registered mail or sent by email or telecopy or,

above. 
 Section 13.9. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, and by the different
parties hereto on separate counterpart signature pages, and all such counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. 

Section 13.10. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the Borrower and the Guarantors and their successors
and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders and the benefit of their respective successors and assigns, including any subsequent holder of any of the Obligations. The Borrower and the Guarantors
may not assign any of their rights or obligations under any Loan Document without the written consent of all of the Lenders. 

Section 13.11. Participants. Each Lender shall have the right at its own cost to grant participations (to be evidenced by one or
more agreements or certificates of participation) in the Loans made and Reimbursement Obligations and/or Commitments held by such Lender at any time and from time to time to one or more Eligible Assignees, subject to the consent of the Borrower
(such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) unless (x) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such participation or (y) such participation is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved
Fund; provided that no such participation shall relieve any Lender of any of its obligations under this Agreement, and, provided, further that no such participant shall have any rights under this Agreement except as provided in
this Section, and the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation or responsibility to such participant. Any agreement pursuant to which such participation is granted shall provide that the 

  
 95 








 
granting Lender shall retain the sole right and responsibility to enforce the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents including, without limitation, the
right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents, except that such agreement may provide that such Lender will not agree to any modification, amendment or waiver of the Loan Documents that would reduce
the amount of or postpone any fixed date for payment of any Obligation in which such participant has an interest. Any party to which such a participation has been granted shall have the benefits of Section 1.11, Section 10.3 and
Section 13.1 hereof. The Borrower authorizes each Lender to disclose to any participant or prospective participant under this Section any financial or other information pertaining to the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof, provided that
such participant or prospective participant shall have agreed in writing prior to its receipt of such information to maintain all such information confidential and not to disclose such information to any other Person except any such information
(a) that has become generally available to the public, (b) if required or appropriate in any report, statement or testimony submitted to any regulatory body having or claiming to have jurisdiction over such Lender, (c) if required or
appropriate in response to any summons or subpoena or in connection with any litigation or (d) in order to comply with any law, order, regulation or ruling applicable to such Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely
for this purpose as an 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 Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan,
Letter of Credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each
Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as
Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. 
 Section 13.12. Assignments.
(a) Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it);
provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions: 
 (i) Minimum Amounts.
(A) In the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Loans and participation interest in L/C Obligations at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an
Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and (B) in any case not described in subsection (a)(i)(A) of this Section, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans and
participation interest in L/C Obligations outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans and participation interest 

  
 96 








 
in L/C Obligations of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the
Administrative Agent or, if “Effective Date” is specified in the Assignment and Acceptance, as of the Effective Date) shall not be less than $5,000,000 and shall be an integral multiple of $500,000, unless each of the Administrative Agent
and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); 

(ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all
the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Revolving Credit Commitments of such Lender. 

(iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by
Section 13.12(a)(i)(B) and, in addition: 
 (A) the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (x) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (y) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; 

(B) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for
assignments if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender; and 

(C) the consent of the L/C Issuer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any
assignment that increases the obligation of the assignee to participate in exposure under one or more Letters of Credit (whether or not then outstanding). 

(iv) Assignment and Acceptance. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative
Agent an Assignment and Acceptance in the form of Exhibit G (an “Assignment and Acceptance”), together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, and the assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative
Agent an Administrative Questionnaire. 
 (v) No Assignment to Borrower or Parent. No such assignment
shall be made to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates, Joint Ventures or Subsidiaries. 
 (vi) No
Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a natural person. 

  
 97 








 Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 13.12(b) hereof,
from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, 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 Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and
Acceptance 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 13.6 and 13.15 with respect to facts
and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement
as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 13.11 hereof. 

(b) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall
maintain at one of its offices in New York, New York, a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans
owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, 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 and any Lender, at any reasonable
time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 
 (c) Any Lender may at any time pledge or grant a
security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any such pledge or grant to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or grant of a security
interest; provided that no such pledge or grant of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or secured party for such Lender as a party hereto; provided further,
however, the right of any such pledgee or grantee (other than any Federal Reserve Bank) to further transfer all or any portion of the rights pledged or granted to it, whether by means of foreclosure or otherwise, shall be at all times subject
to the terms of this Agreement. 
 Section 13.13. Amendments. Any provision of this Agreement or the other
Loan Documents may be amended or waived if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed by (a) the Borrower, (b) the Required Lenders, and (c) if the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuer
are affected thereby, the Administrative Agent or such L/C Issuer, as applicable; provided that: 
 (i) no
amendment or waiver pursuant to this Section 13.13 shall (A) increase or extend any Commitment of any Lender without the consent of such Lender or (B) reduce the amount of or postpone the date for any scheduled


  
 98 








 
payment of any principal of or interest on any Loan or of any Reimbursement Obligation or of any fee payable hereunder or any other amount payable under the Loan Documents without the consent of
the Lender to which such payment is owing or which has committed to make such Loan or Letter of Credit (or participate therein) hereunder; 

(ii) no amendment or waiver pursuant to this Section 13.13 shall, unless signed by each Lender, change the definitions of
Revolving Credit Termination Date or Required Lenders, change the provisions of this Section 13.13, release any material guarantor or any substantial part of the Collateral (except as otherwise provided for in the Loan Documents), or affect the
number of Lenders required to take any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document; and 
 (iii) no amendment to
Section 12 hereof shall be made without the consent of the Guarantor(s) affected thereby. 
 Section 13.14. Headings.
Section headings used in this Agreement are for reference only and shall not affect the construction of this Agreement. 

Section 13.15. Costs and Expenses; Indemnification. (a) Except as otherwise provided hereunder, the Borrower agrees to pay
all reasonable, actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, negotiation, syndication, and administration of the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and
disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent, in connection with the preparation and execution of the Loan Documents, and any amendment, waiver or consent related thereto, whether or not the transactions contemplated herein are consummated,
together with any fees and charges suffered or incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with periodic environmental audits, fixed asset appraisals, title insurance policies, collateral filing fees and lien searches. The Borrower further
agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender, and their respective Affiliated Parties, financial advisors, and consultants against all losses, claims, damages, penalties, judgments, liabilities and expenses (including, without
limitation, all reasonable expenses of litigation or preparation therefor, whether or not the indemnified Person is a party thereto, or any settlement arrangement arising from or relating to any such litigation) which any of them may pay or incur
arising out of or relating to any Loan Document or any of the transactions contemplated thereby or the direct or indirect application or proposed application of the proceeds of any Loan or Letter of Credit, other than those which arise from the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party claiming indemnification (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction). The Borrower, upon demand by the Administrative Agent or a Lender at any time, shall reimburse the
Administrative Agent or such Lender for any legal or other expenses incurred in connection with investigating or defending against any of the foregoing (including any settlement costs relating to the foregoing) except if the same is directly due to
the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party to be indemnified (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction). The obligations of the Borrower under this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement. 

  
 99 








 (b) The Borrower unconditionally agrees to forever indemnify, defend and hold
harmless, and covenants not to sue for any claim for contribution against, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and any Affiliated Parties for any damages, costs, loss or expense, including without limitation, response, remedial or removal costs,
arising out of any of the following: (i) any presence, release, threatened release or disposal of any hazardous or toxic substance or petroleum by the Borrower or any Subsidiary or otherwise occurring on or with respect to its Property (whether
owned or leased), (ii) the operation or violation of any environmental law, whether federal, state, or local, and any regulations promulgated thereunder, by the Borrower or any Subsidiary or otherwise occurring on or with respect to its
Property (whether owned or leased), (iii) any claim for personal injury or property damage in connection with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or otherwise occurring on or with respect to its Property (whether owned or leased), and (iv) the
inaccuracy or breach of any environmental representation, warranty or covenant by the Borrower or any Subsidiary made herein or in any other Loan Document evidencing or securing any Obligations or setting forth terms and conditions applicable
thereto or otherwise relating thereto, except for damages arising from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the party claiming indemnification. This indemnification shall survive the payment and satisfaction of all Obligations and the
termination of this Agreement, and shall remain in force beyond the expiration of any applicable statute of limitations and payment or satisfaction in full of any single claim under this indemnification. This indemnification shall be binding upon
the successors and assigns of the Borrower and shall inure to the benefit of Administrative Agent and the Lenders directors, officers, employees, agents, and collateral trustees, and their successors and assigns. 

Section 13.16. Set-off. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law and not by way of limitation of
any such rights, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, each Lender and each subsequent holder of any Obligation is hereby authorized by the Borrower and each Guarantor at any time or from time to time, without notice to the Borrower or such
Guarantor or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set-off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including, but not limited to, indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit,
whether matured or unmatured, but not including trust accounts, and in whatever currency denominated) and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by that Lender or that subsequent holder to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower
or such Guarantor, whether or not matured, against and on account of the Obligations of the Borrower or such Guarantor to that Lender or that subsequent holder under the Loan Documents, including, but not limited to, all claims of any nature or
description arising out of or connected with the Loan Documents, irrespective of whether or not (a) that Lender or that subsequent holder shall have made any demand hereunder or (b) the principal of or the interest on the Loans or Notes
and other amounts due hereunder shall have become due and payable pursuant to Section 9 and although said obligations and liabilities, or any of them, may be contingent or unmatured. 

Section 13.17. Entire Agreement. The Loan Documents constitute the entire understanding of the parties thereto with respect to the
subject matter thereof and any prior agreements, whether written or oral, with respect thereto are superseded hereby. 

  
 100 








 Section 13.18. Governing Law. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents (except as
otherwise specified therein), and the rights and duties of the parties hereto, shall be governed by and construed and determined in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York. 

Section 13.19. Severability of Provisions. Any provision of any Loan Document which is unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as
to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. All rights, remedies and powers
provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable mandatory provisions of law, and all the provisions of this Agreement and other Loan Documents are
intended to be subject to all applicable mandatory provisions of law which may be controlling and to be limited to the extent necessary so that they will not render this Agreement or the other Loan Documents invalid or unenforceable. 

Section 13.20. Excess Interest. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, no
such provision shall require the payment or permit the collection of any amount of interest in excess of the maximum amount of interest permitted by applicable law to be charged for the use or detention, or the forbearance in the collection, of all
or any portion of the Loans or other obligations outstanding under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (“Excess Interest”). If any Excess Interest is provided for, or is adjudicated to be provided for, herein or in any other
Loan Document, then in such event (a) the provisions of this Section shall govern and control, (b) neither the Borrower nor any guarantor or endorser shall be obligated to pay any Excess Interest, (c) any Excess Interest that the
Administrative Agent or any Lender may have received hereunder shall, at the option of the Administrative Agent, be (i) applied as a credit against the then outstanding principal amount of Obligations hereunder and accrued and unpaid interest
thereon (not to exceed the maximum amount permitted by applicable law), (ii) refunded to the Borrower, or (iii) any combination of the foregoing, (d) the interest rate payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be
automatically subject to reduction to the maximum lawful contract rate allowed under applicable usury laws (the “Maximum Rate”), and this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to have been, and shall be, reformed
and modified to reflect such reduction in the relevant interest rate, and (e) neither the Borrower nor any guarantor or endorser shall have any action against the Administrative Agent or any Lender for any damages whatsoever arising out of the
payment or collection of any Excess Interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if for any period of time interest on any of Borrower’s Obligations is calculated at the Maximum Rate rather than the applicable rate under this Agreement, and
thereafter such applicable rate becomes less than the Maximum Rate, the rate of interest payable on the Borrower’s Obligations shall remain at the Maximum Rate until the Lenders have received the amount of interest which such Lenders would have
received during such period on the Borrower’s Obligations had the rate of interest not been limited to the Maximum Rate during such period. 

Section 13.21. Construction. NOTHING CONTAINED HEREIN SHALL
BE DEEMED OR CONSTRUED TO PERMIT ANY ACT OR OMISSION WHICH IS
PROHIBITED BY THE TERMS OF ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, THE
COVENANTS AND AGREEMENTS CONTAINED HEREIN BEING IN ADDITION TO AND NOT
IN SUBSTITUTION FOR THE COVENANTS AND AGREEMENTS CONTAINED IN THE OTHER
LOAN DOCUMENTS. 

  
 101 








 Section 13.22. Lender’s Obligations Several. The obligations of the Lenders
hereunder are several and not joint. Nothing contained in this Agreement and no action taken by the Lenders pursuant hereto shall be deemed to constitute the Lenders a partnership, association, joint venture or other entity. 

Section 13.23. Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. The Borrower and the Guarantors hereby submit to the nonexclusive
jurisdiction of any New York State or federal court sitting in New York City and any appellate court from any thereof for purposes of all legal proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby. The Borrower and the Guarantors irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which they may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such proceeding brought in such a court
and any claim that any such proceeding brought in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. THE BORROWER, THE GUARANTORS, THE ADMINISTRATIVE
AGENT, AND THE LENDERS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO
TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING
TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY. 

Section 13.24. USA Patriot Act. Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act hereby notifies the
