the Loan Documents), (d) the words “herein”, “hereof” and “hereunder”, and words of similar import, shall be construed to refer to this Agreement in its entirety and not to any particular provision hereof,
(e) with respect to the determination of any time period, the word “from” means “from and including” and the word “to” means “to and including” and (f) any reference herein to Articles, Sections,
Annexes, Exhibits and Schedules shall be construed to refer to Articles and Sections of, and Annexes, Exhibits and Schedules to, this Agreement. No provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be interpreted or construed against any
Person solely because such Person or its legal representative drafted such provision. 
 Section 1.05 Accounting Terms and
Determinations; GAAP; Pro Forma Compliance. 
 (a) Unless otherwise specified herein, all accounting terms used herein shall be
interpreted, all determinations with respect to accounting matters hereunder shall be made, and all financial statements and certificates and reports as to financial matters required to be furnished to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders
hereunder shall be prepared, in accordance with GAAP, applied on a basis consistent with the Financial Statements except for changes in which the Borrower’s independent certified public accountants concur and which are disclosed to


  
 36 








 
the Administrative Agent on the next date on which Financial Statements are required to be delivered to the Lenders pursuant to Section 8.01(a); provided that unless the
Borrower and the Required Lenders shall otherwise agree in writing, no such change shall modify or affect the manner in which compliance with the covenants contained herein is computed such that all such computations shall be conducted utilizing
financial information presented consistently with prior periods. 
 (b) Notwithstanding GAAP or anything in this Agreement to the contrary,
for the purposes of calculating the ratios that are the subject of Section 9.01 hereof and the components of each of them, all Excluded Subsidiaries (including the assets, liabilities, income, losses, cash flows and elements thereof)
shall be excluded, except that any dividends or distributions actually paid in cash by any Person to the Borrower or any other Loan Party shall be deemed to be income to the Borrower or such other Loan Party, as applicable, when received by it
whether or not constituting income in accordance with GAAP. 
 (c) For purposes of determining hereunder whether the Borrower is in
pro forma compliance with its applicable financial covenants contained in Section 9.01 hereof after the occurrence of a certain event (a “Subject Transaction”), in all cases such calculation
shall be based on the financial information for the most recent Rolling Period for which financial information has been delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Sections 8.01(a) or (b), and calculated as if such Subject
Transaction had occurred on the first day of such applicable period. For the purposes of the definition of “Permitted Note Indebtedness”, the covenants (and levels thereof) that must be complied with are those set forth in
Sections 9.01(a)(ii), 9.01(b), and 9.01(c). For all other purposes hereunder, the covenants (and levels thereof) that must be complied with are those that were in effect as of the last day of the fiscal quarter most
recently ended prior to such Subject Transaction. 
 ARTICLE II 

THE CREDITS 

Section 2.01 Commitments. 

(a) Revolving Loan Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender agrees to make revolving loans to the
Borrower from time to time during the Availability Period in an aggregate principal amount that will not result in (i) such Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure exceeding such Lender’s Commitment or (ii) the total Revolving Credit
Exposures exceeding the total Commitments. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow the Loans. 

(b) Reallocation of Loans. After giving effect to this Agreement and any Loans made on the Effective Date, (i) each Lender who
holds Loans in an aggregate amount less than its Applicable Percentage (after giving effect to this Agreement) of all Loans shall advance new Loans that shall be disbursed to the Administrative Agent and used to repay Loans outstanding to each
Lender who holds Loans in an aggregate amount greater than its Applicable Percentage of Loans, (ii) each Lender’s participation in each Letter of Credit, if any, shall be automatically adjusted to equal its Applicable Percentage (after
giving effect to this Agreement), 

  
 37 








 
and (iii) such other adjustments shall be made as the Administrative Agent shall specify so that each Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure equals its Applicable Percentage (after giving
effect to this Agreement) of the aggregate Loans of all Lenders. For the avoidance of doubt, payments effected between or among the Lenders pursuant to this Section 2.01(b) shall not be subject to the provisions of Sections
3.04(a) and (b) 
 Section 2.02 Loans and Borrowings. 

(a) Borrowings; Several Obligations. Each Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans made by the Lenders ratably in
accordance with their respective Commitments. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder; provided that the Commitments are several and no Lender shall
be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make Loans as required. 
 (b) Types of Loans. Subject to
Section 3.03, each Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of ABR Loans or Eurodollar Loans as the Borrower may request in accordance herewith. Each Lender at its option may make any Eurodollar Loan by causing any domestic or foreign
branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 

(c) Minimum Amounts; Limitation on Number of Borrowings. At the commencement of each Interest Period for any Eurodollar Borrowing, such
Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $500,000 and not less than $1,000,000. At the time that each ABR Borrowing is made, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $100,000 and
not less than $500,000; provided that an ABR Borrowing may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire unused balance of the total Commitments or that is required to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as contemplated by
Section 2.07(e). Borrowings of more than one Type may be outstanding at the same time, provided that there shall not at any time be more than a total of four (4) Eurodollar Borrowings outstanding. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement, the Borrower shall not be entitled to request, or to elect to convert or continue, any Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Maturity Date. 

(d) Notes. The Loans made by each Lender, if requested by such Lender, shall be evidenced by a single promissory note of the Borrower in
substantially the form of Exhibit A, dated, in the case of (i) any Lender party hereto as of the date of this Agreement, as of the date of this Agreement, or (ii) any Lender that becomes a party hereto pursuant to an Assignment and
Assumption or in an amendment entered into in connection with an increase of the total Commitments pursuant to Section 2.08, as of the effective date of the Assignment and Assumption or amendment, payable to such Lender in a principal
amount equal to its Commitment, and otherwise duly completed. In the event that any Lender’s Commitment increases or decreases for any reason (whether pursuant to Section 2.06, Section 2.08, Section 12.04(b)
or otherwise), if requested by such Lender, the Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered on the effective date of such increase or decrease, a new Note payable to such Lender in a principal amount equal to its Commitment, as applicable, after
giving effect to such increase or decrease, and otherwise duly completed. The date, amount, Type, interest rate and, if 

  
 38 








 
applicable, Interest Period of each Loan made by each Lender, and all payments made on account of the principal thereof, shall be recorded by such Lender on its books for its applicable Note,
and, prior to any transfer, may be endorsed by such Lender on a schedule attached to such Note or any continuation thereof or on any separate record maintained by such Lender. Failure to make any such notation or to attach a schedule shall not
affect any Lender’s or the Borrower’s rights or obligations in respect of such Loans or affect the validity of such transfer by any Lender of its Note. 

Section 2.03 Requests for Borrowings. To request a Borrowing, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request
by telephone (a) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., Central time, three (3) Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing or (b) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m.,
Central time, one Business Day before the date of the proposed Borrowing; provided that no such notice shall be required for any deemed request of an ABR Borrowing to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in
Section 2.07(e). Each such telephonic Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery, facsimile or e-mail to the Administrative Agent of a written Borrowing Request in substantially the form of
Exhibit B and signed by the Borrower. Each such telephonic and written Borrowing Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02: 

(i) the aggregate amount of the requested Borrowing; 

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

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

(iv) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto, which shall be a period contemplated by the
definition of the term “Interest Period”; 
 (v) the current total Revolving Credit Exposures (without regard to the
requested Borrowing) and the pro forma total Revolving Credit Exposures (giving effect to the requested Borrowing); and 
 (vi)
the location and number of the Borrower’s account to which funds are to be disbursed, which shall comply with the requirements of Section 2.05. 

If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified, then the requested Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period is specified with
respect to any requested Eurodollar Borrowing, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. Each Borrowing Request shall constitute a representation that (a) the amount of the requested
Borrowing shall not cause the total Revolving Credit Exposures to exceed the total Commitments, and (b) each condition precedent set forth in Section 6.02 has been satisfied with respect to such Borrowing. 

  
 39 








 Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section 2.03, the
Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing. 

Section 2.04 Interest Elections. 

(a) Conversion and Continuance. Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the
case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a
Eurodollar Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section 2.04. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall
be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. 

(b) Interest Election Requests. To make an election pursuant to this Section 2.04, the Borrower shall notify the
Administrative Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective
date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery, facsimile or e-mail to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request in substantially the
form of Exhibit C and signed by the Borrower. 
 (c) Information in Interest Election Requests. Each telephonic and written
Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02: 
 (i) the Borrowing to which
such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant
to Sections 2.04(c)(ii) and (iii) shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing); 
 (ii) the effective date of the
election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day; 
 (iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be
an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing; and 
 (iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period to be
applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”. 

If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have
selected an Interest Period of one (1) month’s duration. 

  
 40 








 (d) Notice to Lenders by the Administrative Agent. Promptly following receipt of an
Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing. 

(e) Effect of Failure to Deliver Timely Interest Election Request and Events of Default on Interest Election. If the Borrower fails to
deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurodollar Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing
shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing: (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing (and any
Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective) and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR
Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto. 
 Section 2.05 Funding of Borrowings. 

(a) Funding by Lenders. Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of
immediately available funds by 12:00 noon, Central time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by
promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of the Borrower maintained with the Administrative Agent in Dallas, Texas or as otherwise directed in writing by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request; provided
that ABR Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.07(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Issuing Bank. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender
to obtain the funds for its Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for its Loan in any particular place or manner. 

(b) Funding by the Lenders; Presumption by the Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a
Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on
such date in accordance with Section 2.05(a) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing
available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such
amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the
Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans. If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such
interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays


  
 41 








 
its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower shall
be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent. 

Section 2.06 Termination and Reduction of Commitments. 

(a) Scheduled Termination of Commitments. Unless previously terminated, the Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date. If at any
time the Commitments are terminated or reduced to zero, then the Commitments shall terminate on the effective date of such termination or reduction. 

(b) Optional Termination and Reduction of Commitments. 

(i) The Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Commitments; provided that (A) each reduction of the
Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $1,000,000 and (B) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Loans in
accordance with Section 3.04(b)(i), the total Revolving Credit Exposures would exceed the total Commitments. 
 (ii) The
Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments under Section 2.06(b)(i) at least three (3) Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying
such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.06(b)(ii)
shall be irrevocable; provided any notice of termination delivered in connection with any refinancing of all of the Loans with the proceeds of such refinancing or of any incurrence of Indebtedness, may be, if expressly so stated to be, contingent
upon the consummation of such refinancing or incurrence and may be revoked by the Borrower in the event such refinancing is not consummated (provided that the failure of such contingency shall not relieve the Borrower from its obligations in
respect thereof under Section 5.02). 
 (c) Termination and Reductions of Commitments. Any termination or reduction of the
Commitments shall be permanent and may not be reinstated except pursuant to Section 2.08 hereof. Each reduction of the Commitments shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with each Lender’s Applicable Percentage. 

Section 2.07 Letters of Credit. 

(a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may request the issuance of dollar denominated
Letters of Credit for its own account or for the account of any of its Subsidiaries, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and any Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time during the Availability Period; provided
that the Borrower may not request the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of Letters of Credit hereunder, if, after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, (w) the LC Exposure would exceed the LC Sublimit,
(x) the  

  
 42 








 
total Revolving Credit Exposures would exceed the total Commitments, (y) the aggregate LC Exposure with respect to Letters of Credit issued by Wells Fargo would not exceed $37,500,000, and
(z) the aggregate LC Exposure with respect to Letters of Credit issued by UBS AG and the aggregate LC Exposure with respect to Letters of Credit issued by Barclays, in either case, would not exceed $18,750,000. In the event of any inconsistency
between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any Letter of Credit Agreement, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control. 

(b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions. The Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to have been
issued hereunder as of the Effective Date. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Borrower shall hand deliver or fax (or transmit by electronic communication, if
arrangements for doing so have been approved by the applicable Issuing Bank) to the applicable Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (not less than three (3) Business Days in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or
extension) a notice: 
 (i) requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or
extended; 
 (ii) specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day); 

(iii) specifying the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with Section 2.07(c)); 

(iv) specifying the amount of such Letter of Credit; 

(v) specifying the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or
extend such Letter of Credit; 
 (vi) specifying the current total Revolving Credit Exposures (without regard to the requested Letter
of Credit or the requested amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit) and the pro forma total Revolving Credit Exposures (giving effect to the requested Letter of Credit or the requested amendment, renewal or
extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit); and 
 (vii) specifying whether such Letter of Credit will be issued in the ordinary
course for purchases or transportation of natural gas by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (and as a result the obligations of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries in respect of such Letter of Credit will be excluded from the
calculation of Consolidated Total Funded Indebtedness). 
 Each notice shall constitute a representation and warranty with respect to the information set
forth therein and that after giving effect to the requested issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, as applicable, (x) the LC Exposure shall not exceed the LC Sublimit, (y) the total Revolving Credit Exposures shall not exceed the total
Commitments, and (z) each condition precedent set forth in Section 6.02 has been satisfied with respect to such Letter of Credit. 

  
 43 








 If requested by the applicable Issuing Bank in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit, the Borrower
also shall submit an appropriately completed letter of credit application on such Issuing Bank’s standard form as in effect from time to time, which application may require the inclusion of draft language for such Letter of Credit that is
reasonably acceptable to such Issuing Bank and may be required to be signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. 
 No Issuing Bank will be required
to: (A) issue any Letter of Credit if (1) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such Issuing Bank from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any law
applicable to such Issuing Bank or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such Issuing Bank shall prohibit, or request that such Issuing Bank refrain from, the
issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such Issuing Bank is not otherwise
compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Effective Date, or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Effective Date and which such Issuing Bank in good faith deems material to it,
(2) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of such Issuing Bank applicable to letters of credit generally, (3) except as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and such Issuing Bank, such Letter of
Credit is in an initial stated amount less than $10,000, (4) such Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency other than Dollars, or (5) such Letter of Credit contains any provisions for automatic reinstatement of the stated amount
after any drawing thereunder; or (B) amend or extend any Letter of Credit if such Issuing Bank would not be required at such time to issue the Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof or if the beneficiary of such Letter of
Credit does not accept the proposed amendment thereto. Any request for the issuance of a Letter of Credit that is made at any time that there is a Defaulting Lender shall be subject to Section 4.04(d). 

(c) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date one
(1) year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension) and (ii) the date that is ten (10) Business Days prior to the Maturity
Date. Each Letter of Credit with a one (1) year term may provide for the renewal thereof for additional one (1) year periods; provided that no such period shall extend beyond the date described in clause (ii) above. 

(d) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and
without any further action on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank or the Lenders, such Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Lender, and each Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such
Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the
Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by the any Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Borrower on the date due as provided


  
 44 








 
in Section 2.07(e), or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire
participations pursuant to this Section 2.07(d) in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit
or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or the reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. 

(e) Reimbursement. If any Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall
reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 11:00 a.m., Central time, on the date that such LC Disbursement is made, if the Borrower shall have received notice of such
LC Disbursement prior to 9:00 a.m., Central time, on such date, or, if such notice has not been received by the Borrower prior to such time on such date, then not later than 11:00 a.m., Central time, on (i) the Business Day that the Borrower
receives such notice, if such notice is received prior to 9:00 a.m., Central time, on the day of receipt, or (ii) the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is not received prior to
such time on the day of receipt; provided that the Borrower shall, subject to the conditions to Borrowing set forth herein, be deemed to have requested, and the Borrower does hereby request under such circumstances, that such payment be
financed with an ABR Borrowing in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Borrowing. If the Borrower fails to make such payment
when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrower in respect thereof and such Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice,
each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Applicable Percentage of the payment then due from the Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.05 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.05
shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the
Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.07(e), the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the applicable Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Lenders have made payments pursuant to
this Section 2.07(e) to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and the applicable Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Lender pursuant to this Section 2.07(e) to reimburse any
Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of ABR Loans as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement. 

(f) Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in Section 2.07(e) shall
be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter
of Credit, any Letter of Credit Agreement or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement
therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by any Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft 

  
 45 








 
or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit or any Letter of Credit Agreement, or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar
to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.07(f), constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower’s obligations hereunder. Neither the
Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor any Issuing Bank, nor any of their Related 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 applicable Issuing Bank; provided that the
foregoing shall not be construed to excuse any Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted
by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by such Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto
expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of an Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised all requisite care in
each such determination. 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, each Issuing Bank 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. 
 (g) Disbursement
Procedures. Each Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. Each Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the
Borrower by telephone (confirmed by facsimile) of such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve
the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such Issuing Bank and the Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement. 
 (h) Interim
Interest. If any Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, until the Borrower shall have reimbursed such Issuing Bank for such LC Disbursement (either with its own funds or a Borrowing under Section 2.07(e)), the unpaid
amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Loans. Interest
accrued pursuant to this Section 2.07(h) shall be for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Lender pursuant to Section 2.07(e) to reimburse such
Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.

 (i) Replacement of any Issuing Bank. Any Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by
written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of any Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement
becomes effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 3.05(a). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank
shall have all the rights and obligations of the replaced Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to
such successor or to any previous or existing Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous and existing Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement of any Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a
party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

 (j) Cash Collateralization. If (i) any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and the Borrower receives notice from
the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this Section 2.07(j), or (ii) the Borrower is required to pay to the Administrative Agent the excess attributable to an LC
Exposure in connection with any prepayment pursuant to Section 3.04(b)(i), then the Borrower shall deposit, in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders, an
amount in cash equal to, in the case of an Event of Default, the LC Exposure, and in the case of a payment required by Section 3.04(b)(i), the amount of such excess as provided in Section 3.04(b)(i), as of such date
plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of
any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Borrower or any Subsidiary described in Section 10.01(h) or Section 10.01(i). The Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit
of the Issuing Banks and the Lenders, an exclusive first priority and continuing perfected security interest in and Lien on such account and all cash, checks, drafts, certificates and instruments, if any, from time to time deposited or held in such
account, all deposits or wire transfers made thereto, any and all investments purchased with funds deposited in such account, all interest, dividends, cash, instruments, financial assets and other Property from time to time received, receivable or
otherwise payable in respect of, or in exchange for, any or all of the foregoing, and all proceeds, products, accessions, rents, profits, income and benefits therefrom, and any substitutions and replacements therefor. The Borrower’s obligation
to deposit amounts pursuant to this Section 2.07(j) shall be absolute and unconditional, without regard to whether any beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit has attempted to draw down all or a portion of such amount under the terms of
a Letter of Credit, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, shall not be subject to any defense or be affected by a right of set-off, counterclaim or recoupment which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries may now or hereafter have
against any such beneficiary, any Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or any other Person for any reason whatsoever. Such deposit shall be held as collateral securing the payment and performance of the Borrower’s and the
Guarantor’s obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the
investment of such 

  
 47 








 
deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the Borrower’s risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest.
Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse each Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to
the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, be applied to satisfy other obligations of the
Borrower and the Guarantors under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, and the Borrower is not otherwise
required to pay to the Administrative Agent the excess attributable to an LC Exposure in connection with any prepayment pursuant to Section 3.04(b)(i), then such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the
Borrower within three (3) Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived. 
 (k) Applicability of ISP.
Unless otherwise expressly agreed by any Issuing Bank and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued (including any such agreement applicable to an Existing Letter of Credit), the rules of the ISP shall apply to each Letter of Credit.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Issuing Bank shall be responsible to the Borrower for, and such Issuing Bank’s rights and remedies against the Borrower shall not be impaired by, any action or inaction of such Issuing Bank required or
permitted under any law, order, or practice that is required or permitted to be applied to any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, including the law or any order of a jurisdiction where such Issuing Bank or the beneficiary is located, the practice
stated in the ISP or in the decisions, opinions, practice statements, or official commentary of the ICC Banking Commission, the Bankers Association for Finance and Trade –International Financial Services Association (BAFT-IFSA), or the
Institute of International Banking Law & Practice, whether or not any Letter of Credit chooses such law or practice. 
 (l)
Calculation of Maximum Stated Amount. For all purposes of this Agreement, the amount of a Letter of Credit that, by its terms or the terms of any document related thereto, provides for one or more automatic increases in the stated amount
thereof shall be deemed to be the maximum stated amount of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum stated amount is in effect at the time of determination. 

Section 2.08 Optional Increase in Commitments. 

(a) The Borrower shall have the right to increase the total Commitments by obtaining additional Commitments, from one or more of the
Lenders and/or one or more other lending institutions, on the condition that (i) no Lender shall be obligated to increase its Commitment, (ii) any such request for an increase shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of
$5,000,000 and not less than $10,000,000, (iii) the Borrower may make a maximum of two such requests after the Effective Date, (iv) the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Banks have each approved the identity of any such new Lender, such
approvals not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, (v) any such new Lender assumes all of the rights and obligations of a “Lender” hereunder, (vi) the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries are in compliance
on a pro forma basis, before and after giving effect to the  

  
 48 








 
incurrence of such increase (and assuming that the increased Commitments are fully drawn), with a Consolidated Senior Secured Leverage Ratio of less than or equal to 4.50 to 1.00, and
(vii) the Borrower has delivered to the Administrative Agent a certificate of each Loan Party (in sufficient copies for each Lender) signed by an authorized officer of such Loan Party (A) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by
such Loan Party approving or consenting to such increase, and (B) in the case of the Borrower, certifying that, before and after giving effect to such increase, the conditions set forth in Section 2.08(a)(vi) and Sections
6.02(a) and (b) are satisfied. 
 (b) Any amendment hereto in connection with an increase of the total Commitments pursuant
to Section 2.08(a) shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and shall only require the written signatures of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Lender(s) being added or increasing
their respective Commitment(s), as applicable, subject only to the approval of all Lenders if any such increase would cause the aggregate Commitments to exceed an amount equal to the difference of (i) $320,000,000 minus (ii) an
amount equal to the excess, if any, of (A) the aggregate amount of all Incremental Term Loans incurred by the Borrower pursuant to the Term Loan Agreement on or after the Effective Date, over (B) $100,000,000. 

(c) Within a reasonable time after the effective date of any increase in the total Commitments pursuant to Section 2.08(a), the
Administrative Agent shall, and is hereby authorized and directed to, revise Annex I to reflect such increase and shall distribute such revised Annex I to each of the Lenders and the Borrower, whereupon such revised Annex I
shall replace the old Annex I and become part of this Agreement. On the Business Day following any such increase, unless all Lenders have increased their Commitments proportionately and there is no newly added Lender, the Lender(s) and/or the
newly added Lender(s), as applicable, shall purchase a pro rata portion of the outstanding Loans (and participation interests in Letters of Credit) of each of the other Lenders (and such Lenders hereby agree to sell and to take all such
further action to effectuate such sale) such that each Lender (including any newly added Lender, if applicable) shall hold its Applicable Percentage of the outstanding Loans (and participation interests) after giving effect to the increase in the
Commitments. Eurodollar Loans shall not be reallocated among the Lenders prior to the expiration of the applicable Interest Period in effect at the time of any such increase. 

ARTICLE III 
 PAYMENTS OF
PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST; PREPAYMENTS; FEES 
 Section 3.01 Repayment of Loans. The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises
to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Loan on the Termination Date. 

Section 3.02 Interest. 

(a) ABR Loans. The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest at an annual rate equal to the sum of (i) the Alternate
Base Rate plus (ii) the Applicable Margin, but in no event to exceed the Highest Lawful Rate. 

  
 49 








 (b) Eurodollar Loans. The Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest
at an annual rate equal to the sum of (i) the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus (ii) the Applicable Margin, but in no event to exceed the Highest Lawful Rate. 

(c) Post-Default Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, or if any principal of or
interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrower or any other Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, then all Loans outstanding,
in the case of an Event of Default, and such overdue amount, in the case of a failure to pay amounts when due, shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to two percent (2%) plus (i) when used
with respect to obligations other than Loans and Letter of Credit Participation Fees, an interest rate equal to the rate applicable to ABR Loans as provided in Section 3.02(a), (ii) when used with respect to Loans the rate otherwise
applicable to such Loans and (iii) when used with respect to Letter of Credit Participation Fees, a rate equal to the Applicable Margin but, in each case, in no event to exceed the Highest Lawful Rate. 

(d) Interest Payment Dates. Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan, on
the Termination Date; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to Section 3.02(c) shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than an optional prepayment of an ABR
Loan prior to the Termination Date), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment, and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of
the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion. 
 (e)
Interest Rate Computations. All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, unless such computation would exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, in which case interest shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days
(or 366 days in a leap year), except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year),
and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate, Adjusted LIBO Rate or LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and
such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and be binding upon the parties hereto. 
 Section 3.03 Alternate Rate
of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing: 
 (a) the Administrative Agent determines
(which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate for such Interest Period; or 

(b) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate or LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest
Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period; 

  
 50 








 then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or facsimile
as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of
any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective, and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made either as an ABR Borrowing or at an alternate
rate of interest determined by the Required Lenders as their cost of funds. 
 Section 3.04 Prepayments. 

(a) Optional Prepayments. 

(i) The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, subject to prior notice
in accordance with Section 3.04(a)(ii). 
 (ii) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by
facsimile or e-mail) of any prepayment hereunder (A) in the case of prepayment of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., Central time, three (3) Business Days before the date of prepayment, or (B) in the case of prepayment
of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., Central time, one (1) Business Day before the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion
thereof to be prepaid; provided, that a notice of prepayment may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked (by written notice to the Administrative Agent
on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied (provided that the failure of such condition shall not relieve the Borrower from its obligations under Section 5.02 in respect thereof). Promptly following
receipt of any such notice relating to a Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a
Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments pursuant to Section 3.04(a) shall be accompanied by
accrued interest to the extent required by Section 3.02. 
 (b) Mandatory Prepayments. 

(i) If, after giving effect to any termination or reduction of the Commitments pursuant to Section 2.06(b), the total Revolving
Credit Exposures exceeds the total Commitments, then the Borrower shall (A) prepay the Borrowings on the date of such termination or reduction in an aggregate principal amount equal to such excess, and (B) if any excess remains after
prepaying all of the Borrowings as a result of an LC Exposure, pay to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders an amount equal to such excess to be held as cash collateral as provided in Section 2.07(j). 

  
 51 








 (ii) Except to the extent required to be applied as a prepayment of the Term Loan Facility in
accordance with the Term Loan Agreement, on each date on or after the Effective Date upon which the Borrower or any Subsidiary receives any cash proceeds from any Asset Sale made pursuant to Section 9.11(j), an amount equal to 100% of
the Net Sale Proceeds therefrom shall be applied by the Borrower on such date as a mandatory repayment in accordance with Section 3.04(b)(iv); provided, however, that such Net Sale Proceeds shall not be required to be so applied
on such date so long as no Event of Default then exists and such Net Sale Proceeds shall be used to purchase Property (other than inventory and working capital) used or to be used in the businesses permitted pursuant to Section 9.06
within 180 days following the date of such Asset Sale, and provided, further, that if all or any portion of such Net Sale Proceeds not required to be so applied as provided above in this Section 3.04(b)(ii) are not so reinvested
within such 180-day period (or such earlier date, if any, as the Borrower or relevant Subsidiary determines not to reinvest the Net Sale Proceeds from such Asset Sale as set forth above), such remaining portion shall be applied on the last day of
such period (or such earlier date, as the case may be) as provided above in this Section 3.04(b)(ii) without regard to the preceding proviso. 

(iii) Except to the extent required to be applied as a prepayment of the Term Loan Facility in accordance with the Term Loan Agreement, on
each date on or after the Effective Date upon which the Borrower or any Subsidiary receives any cash proceeds from any Recovery Event, an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds from such Recovery Event shall be applied on such date as a
mandatory repayment in accordance with the requirements of Section 3.04(b)(iv); provided, however, that so long as no Event of Default then exists, such Net Cash Proceeds shall not be required to be so applied on such date
to the extent that such Net Cash Proceeds shall be used to replace or restore any Property in respect of which such Net Cash Proceeds were paid within 180 days following the date of the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds, and provided,
further, that if all or any portion of such Net Cash Proceeds are not so used within 180 days after the date of the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds (or such earlier date, if any, as the Borrower or relevant Subsidiary determines not to
reinvest the Net Cash Proceeds relating to such Recovery Event as set forth above), such remaining portion shall be applied on the last day of such period (or such earlier date, as the case may be) as provided above in this
Section 3.04(b)(iii) without regard to the proviso or the immediately preceding proviso. 
 (iv) Each prepayment of Borrowings
pursuant to this Section 3.04(b) shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowings. Each prepayment pursuant to Section 3.04(b)(i) shall be applied to any outstanding Borrowings and the LC Exposure as
described in Section 3.04(b)(i). Prepayments pursuant to Section 3.04(b) shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 3.02. Each prepayment of Borrowings pursuant to
Section 3.04(b) shall be applied, first, ratably to any ABR Borrowings of then outstanding, and, second, to any Eurodollar Borrowings then outstanding, and if more than one Eurodollar Borrowing is then outstanding, to each such
Eurodollar Borrowing in order of priority beginning with the Eurodollar Borrowing with the least number of days remaining in the Interest Period applicable thereto and ending with the Eurodollar Borrowing with the most number of days remaining in
the Interest Period applicable thereto. 

  
 52 








 (v) If the Borrower is required to make a mandatory prepayment of Eurodollar Borrowings under
this Section 3.04, the Borrower shall have the right, in lieu of making such prepayment in full, to deposit an amount equal to such mandatory prepayment with the Administrative Agent in a cash collateral account maintained (pursuant to
documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) by and in the sole dominion and control of the Administrative Agent. Any amounts so deposited shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the prepayment of such
Eurodollar Rate Loans and shall be applied to the prepayment of the applicable Eurodollar Rate Loans at the end of the current Interest Periods applicable thereto. At the request of the Borrower, amounts so deposited shall be invested by the
Administrative Agent in Cash Equivalents maturing prior to the date or dates on which it is anticipated that such amounts will be applied to prepay such Eurodollar Rate Loans; any interest earned on such Cash Equivalents will be for the account of
the Borrower and the Borrower will deposit with the Administrative Agent the amount of any loss on any such Cash Equivalents to the extent necessary in order that the amount of the prepayment to be made with the deposited amounts may not be reduced.

 (c) No Premium or Penalty. Prepayments permitted or required under this Section 3.04 shall be without premium or
penalty, except as required under Section 5.02. 
 (d) No Permanent Reduction in Commitments. No prepayment permitted or
required under this Section 3.04 shall cause, effect or result in any permanent reductions in the Lenders’ Commitments. 

Section 3.05 Fees. 

(a) Commitment Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a commitment fee, which shall
accrue at the applicable Commitment Fee Rate on the average daily amount of the unused amount of the Commitment of such Lender during the period from and including the date of this Agreement to but excluding the Termination Date. Accrued commitment
fees shall be payable in arrears on the last day of March, June, September and December of each year and on the Termination Date, commencing on the first such date to occur after the date hereof. The commitment fee shall be computed on the basis of
a year of 360 days, unless such computation would exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, in which case interest shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed
(including the first day but excluding the last day). For avoidance of doubt, the “unused amount” of the Commitment of any Lender shall be determined by subtracting such Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure on the date of determination
from such Lender’s Commitment on such date of determination. 
 (b) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay (i) to
the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at the same Applicable Margin used to determine the interest rate applicable to Eurodollar Loans
on the average daily amount of such Lender’s LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the date of this Agreement to but excluding the later of the date on
which such Lender’s Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure, (ii) to each Issuing Bank, for its own account, a fronting fee equal to 0.125% of the stated amount of each Letter of Credit issued
by it payable on the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit, provided that in no event shall such fronting fee be less than 

  
 53 








 
$750.00 for any Letter of Credit, and (iii) to each Issuing Bank, for its own account, its standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, transfer, renewal or extension of any Letter
of Credit issued by it or processing of drawings thereunder payable upon the effectiveness thereof. Participation fees accrued through and including the last day of March, June, September and December of each year shall be payable on the third
(3rd) Business Day following such last day, commencing on the first such date to occur after the date of this Agreement; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the Termination Date and any such fees accruing after the
Termination Date shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to any Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section 3.05(b) shall be payable within ten (10) days after demand. All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed
on the basis of a year of 360 days, unless such computation would exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, in which case interest shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and shall be payable for the actual number of
days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). 
 (c) Administrative Agent Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the
Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times set forth in the applicable Fee Letter. 
 ARTICLE
IV 
 PAYMENTS; PRO RATA TREATMENT; SHARING OF SET-OFFS 

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

(a) Payments by the Borrower. The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest,
fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 5.01, Section 5.02, Section 5.03 or otherwise) prior to 11:00 a.m., Central time, on the date when due, in immediately available
funds, without defense, deduction, recoupment, set-off or counterclaim. Fees, once paid, shall be fully earned and shall not be refundable under any circumstances. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the
Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices specified in
Section 12.01, except payments to be made directly to the applicable Issuing Bank as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Section 5.01, Section 5.02, Section 5.03 and
Section 12.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt
thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for
the period of such extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in dollars. 
 (b) Application of Insufficient Payments. If at any
time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment
of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements
then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due to such parties. 

  
 54 








 (c) Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff
or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or other obligations hereunder resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and other such
obligations greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (i) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (ii) purchase (for cash at face value)
participations in the Loans and such other obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate
amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them; provided that (A) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such
participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (B) the provisions of this Section 4.01 shall not be construed to apply to (1) any payment made by the
Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or (2) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements
to any assignee or participant. Each Loan Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against
each Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of each Loan Party in the amount of such participation. 

Section 4.02 Payments by the Borrower; Presumptions by the Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have
received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or any Issuing Bank hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may
assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or any Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not
in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the Issuing Banks, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, with interest
thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent
in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. 
 Section 4.03 Certain Deductions by the Administrative
Agent. If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.05(a), Section 2.07(d), Section 2.07(e), Section 4.02 or otherwise hereunder then the
Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), (a) apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender and for the benefit of the Administrative Agent or
the Issuing Banks to satisfy such Lender’s obligations hereunder until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid and/or (b) hold any such amounts in a segregated account as cash collateral for, and application to, any future funding
obligations of such Lender 

  
 55 








 
hereunder, in the case of each of (a) and (b) above, in any order as determined by the Administrative Agent in its discretion. If at any time prior to the acceleration or
maturity of the Loans, the Administrative Agent receives any payment in respect of principal of a Loan or reimbursement of an LC Disbursement while one or more Defaulting Lenders is a party to this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall apply
such payment first to the Borrowing(s) for which any such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its pro rata share until such time as such Borrowing(s) are paid in full or each Lender (including each Defaulting Lender) is owed its Applicable
Percentage of all Loans then outstanding. After acceleration or maturity of the Loans, all principal will be applied ratably as provided in Section 10.02(c). 

Section 4.04 Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a
Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender: 
 (a) fees shall cease to
accrue on the unfunded portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 3.05(a); 
 (b) the Commitment and
the Revolving Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether all Lenders or the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to
Section 12.02), provided that any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each adversely affected Lender which affects such Defaulting Lender differently than all other Lenders or all other
adversely affected Lenders, as the case may be, shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender; 
 (c) if any LC Exposure exists at the
time a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then: 
 (i) all or any part of such LC Exposure shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting
Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages but only to the extent (A) the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Credit Exposures plus such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure does not exceed the total
of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Commitments and (B) the conditions set forth in Section 6.02 are satisfied at such time; and 

(ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall within one
(1) Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent cash collateralize such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set
forth in Section 2.07(j) for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding; 
 (iii) if the Borrower cash collateralizes any
portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure pursuant to this Section 4.04(c), the Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 3.05(b) with respect to such Defaulting
Lender’s LC Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is cash collateralized; 
 (iv) if the LC Exposure of
the non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to this Section 4.04(c), then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 3.05(a) and Section 3.05(b) shall be adjusted in accordance with such
non-Defaulting Lenders’ Applicable Percentages; or 

  
 56 








 (v) if any Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is neither cash collateralized nor reallocated
pursuant to this Section 4.04(c), then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Banks or any Lender hereunder, all commitment fees that otherwise would have been payable to such Defaulting Lender (solely with respect
to the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment that was utilized by such LC Exposure) under Section 3.05(a) and letter of credit fees payable under Section 3.05(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC
Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing Banks until such LC Exposure is cash collateralized and/or reallocated; and 
 (d) so long as any
Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure will be 100% covered by the Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash
collateral will be provided by the Borrower in accordance with Section 4.04(c), and participating interests in any such newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent
with Section 4.01(c)(i) (and any Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein). 
 In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Borrower
and each Issuing Bank each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Defaulting Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the LC Exposure of the non-Defaulting Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the
inclusion of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment and on such date such Defaulting Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Defaulting
Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage. 
 ARTICLE V 

INCREASED COSTS; BREAK FUNDING PAYMENTS; TAXES; ILLEGALITY 

Section 5.01 Increased Costs. 

(a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall: 

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

(ii) subject any Lender or any Issuing Bank to any Tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit , any
participation in a Letter of Credit or any Eurodollar Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender or any Issuing Bank in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes, Other Taxes covered by Section 5.03
or Connection Income Taxes and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by such Lender or any Issuing Bank); or 

  
 57 








 (iii) impose on any Lender or any Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other
condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; 
 and the
result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender or such Issuing Bank of
participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or such Issuing Bank
hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount), then, upon request of such Lender or such Issuing Bank, the Borrower will pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will
compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. 
 (b) Capital
Requirements. If any Lender or any Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements and affecting such Lender or any Issuing Bank or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s or any Issuing
Bank’s holding company, if any, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or any Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or any Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as
a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by any Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or such
Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s
or such Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate
such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. 
 (c)
Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or any Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in Sections
5.01(a) or (b) and delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten
(10) days after receipt thereof. 
 (d) Effect of Failure or Delay in Requesting Compensation. Failure or delay on the part of
any Lender or any Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 5.01 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower
shall not be required to compensate a Lender or such Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section 5.01 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 365 days prior to the date that such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the
case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further, that, if the
Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 365-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. 

  
 58 








 Section 5.02 Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any
principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan into an ABR Loan other than on the last day of the
Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurodollar Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto, or (d) the assignment of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the
last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 5.04(b), then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to
such event. In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the
principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the
case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which
such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurodollar market. 

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

Section 5.03 Taxes. 

(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower or any Guarantor under any Loan
Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if the Borrower or any Guarantor shall be required by applicable law to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or
Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 5.03(a)), the
Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower or such Guarantor shall make such deductions and (iii) the
Borrower or such Guarantor shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. Without limiting the provisions of Section 5.03(a), the Borrower shall timely
pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 

  
 59 








 (c) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative
Agent, each Lender and each Issuing Bank, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts
payable under this Section 5.03) payable or paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder, and any
penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the
amount of such payment or liability under this Section 5.03 delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or an Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or
an Issuing Bank, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 (d) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally
indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified
Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 12.04(d)(ii) relating to the maintenance of a Participant
Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto,
whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive
absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any
other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (d). 
 (e) Evidence of Payments. As soon
as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower or a Guarantor to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such
Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 

(f) Status of Lenders. 

(i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to payments made under this Agreement or any
other Loan Document shall deliver to the Withholding Agent (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Withholding Agent, such properly completed and executed
documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if requested by the Withholding Agent, shall deliver such other documentation
prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Withholding Agent as will enable the Withholding Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding
anything to the 

  
 60 








 
contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution, and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Sections 5.03(f)(ii)(A) and
5.03(f)(ii)(B) and Section 5.03(g) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution, or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would
materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. 
 (ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event
that the Borrower is a “United States person” as defined in section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, 
 (A) any Lender that is a
“United States person” as defined in section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to the Withholding 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
request of the Withholding Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from United States federal backup withholding tax; 

(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Withholding 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 request of the Withholding Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender is legally
entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable: 
 (1) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits
of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from or reduction of, United States federal
withholding tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, United States
federal withholding tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty; 

(2) executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI; 

(3) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under section 881(c)
of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the
Borrower within the meaning of section 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 (y) executed
originals of IRS Form W-8BEN; or 
 (4) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed
originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G-2 or Exhibit G-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification


  
 61 








 
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 G-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner; and 

(5) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Withholding Agent (in such number
of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Withholding Agent), executed originals
of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States federal withholding tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to
permit the Withholding Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made. 
 Each Lender agrees that if any form or
certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification, or promptly notify the Withholding Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. 

(g) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If the Administrative Agent, a Lender or an Issuing Bank determines, in its sole discretion, that it
has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 5.03, it shall pay to the
Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 5.03 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such
refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund);
provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant
Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank in the event the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This
Section 5.03 shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any
other Person. 
 (h) FATCA. If a payment made to a Lender under this Agreement would be subject to United States federal withholding
tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender fails to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Withholding Agent, at the
time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Withholding Agent, such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional
documentation reasonably requested by the Withholding Agent as may be necessary for the 

  
 62 








 
Withholding Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA, 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 the purposes of this Section 5.03(h), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. 

Section 5.04 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. 

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

(b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 5.01, or if the Borrower is required to pay
any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 5.03, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and
effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 12.04(b)),
all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that
(i) the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 12.04(b)(iv), (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Revolving
Credit Exposure, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 3.04(c) or Section 5.02), from the assignee (to the
extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts), (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 5.01 or payments
required to be made pursuant to Section 5.03, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter, (iv) such assignment does not conflict with applicable law, and (v) in the case of an
assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior
thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Lender shall not be required to make any such
assignment and delegation if such Lender or any of its Affiliates is a Secured Hedging Agreement Counterparty with any outstanding Secured Hedging Agreements with any Loan Party (to the extent obligations under such Secured Hedging Agreements
constitute Secured Obligations), unless on or prior to the effectiveness of such assignment, all such Secured Hedging Agreements have been terminated or novated to another Person and such Lender or its Affiliate, as the case may be, has received
payment of all amounts, if any, payable to it in connection with such termination or novation. 

  
 63 








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

Without limiting the generality of the provisions of Section 11.04, for purposes of determining compliance with the conditions
specified in this Section 6.01, each Lender that has signed this Agreement shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter required under this Section 6.01 to
be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from such Lender prior to the Effective Date specifying its objection thereto. The Administrative Agent shall notify
the Borrower and the Lenders of the Effective Date, and such notice shall be conclusive and binding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans and of each Issuing Bank to issue Letters of Credit hereunder shall not
become effective unless each of the foregoing conditions is satisfied (or waived pursuant to Section 12.02) at or prior to 5:00 p.m., Central time, on September 30, 2014 (and, in the event such conditions are not so satisfied or
waived, the Commitments shall terminate at such time).

 Notwithstanding the foregoing (including each of the requirements set forth in
Section 6.01(h), (j), and (p) above) to the extent any security interest in any Collateral (other than any Lien on Collateral that may be perfected by (x) the filing of a financing statement under the Uniform
Commercial Code and (y) the delivery of certificates evidencing the Equity Interests required to be pledged pursuant to the Guaranty and Collateral Agreement) is not or cannot be perfected on the Effective Date after the Borrower’s use of
commercially reasonable efforts to do so, then the perfection of such security interests shall not constitute a condition precedent to the availability of the Loans on the Effective Date, but instead shall be required to be delivered, provided
and/or perfected within 60 days after the Effective Date (unless extended by the Administrative Agent) or, with respect to the items set forth therein, within the time periods specified on Schedule 8.20. 

Section 6.02 Each Subsequent Credit Event. The obligation of each Lender to make a Loan on the occasion of any Borrowing, and of
each Issuing Bank to issue, amend, renew or extend any Letter of Credit, in each case, after the Effective Date, is subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions: 

(a) At the time of and immediately after giving effect to such Borrowing or the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of such Letter of
Credit, as applicable, no Default shall have occurred and be continuing. 
 (b) The representations and warranties of the Borrower and the
Guarantors set forth in this Agreement and in the other Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date of such Borrowing or the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of such Letter of Credit, as
applicable, except that (i) to the extent any such representations and warranties are expressly limited to an earlier date, in which case, on and as of the date of such Borrowing or the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of such
Letter of Credit, as applicable, such representations and warranties shall continue to be true and correct in all material respects as of such specified earlier date, and (ii) to the extent that any such representations and warranties are

shall be deemed to constitute a representation and warranty by the Borrower on the date thereof as to the matters specified in Sections 6.02(a) and (b). 

ARTICLE VII 

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES 

The Borrower (on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries), and each Guarantor by its execution of the Guaranty and Collateral Agreement,
represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Banks and the Lenders that: 

  
 68 








 Section 7.01 Organization; Powers. Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries is a
legal entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, has all requisite power and authority, and has all material governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals
necessary, to own its assets and to carry on its business as now conducted, and is qualified to do business in, and is in good standing in, every jurisdiction where such qualification is required, except where failure to have such power, authority,
licenses, authorizations, consents, approvals and qualifications could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

Section 7.02 Authority; Enforceability. The Transactions are within each Loan Party’s corporate powers and have been duly
authorized by all necessary corporate and, if required, stockholder action (including, without limitation, any action required to be taken by any class of directors of the Borrower or any other Person, whether interested or disinterested, in order
to ensure the due authorization of the Transactions). Each Loan Document to which a Loan Party is a party has been duly executed and delivered by such Loan Party and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Loan Party, as
applicable, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of
whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law. 
 Section 7.03 Approvals; No Conflicts. The Transactions (a) do
not require any consent or approval of, registration or filing with, or any other action by, any Governmental Authority or any other third Person (including shareholders or any class of directors, whether interested or disinterested, of the Borrower
or any other Person), nor is any such consent, approval, registration, filing or other action necessary for the validity or enforceability of any Loan Document or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, except such as have been
obtained or made and are in full force and effect other than (i) the recording and filing of the Security Instruments as required by this Agreement and (ii) those third party approvals or consents which, if not made or obtained, would not
cause a Default hereunder, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or do not have an adverse effect on the enforceability of the Loan Documents, (b) will not violate (i) any applicable law or regulation,
(ii) any Organization Documents of the Borrower or any Subsidiary, or (iii) any order of any Governmental Authority, (c) will not violate or result in a default under any indenture or other agreement regarding Indebtedness of the
Borrower or any Subsidiary or give rise to a right thereunder to require any payment to be made by the Borrower or such Subsidiary, (d) will not violate or result in a default under any other agreement or other instrument binding upon the
Borrower or any Subsidiary, or its Properties, or give rise to a right thereunder to require any payment to be made by the Borrower or such Subsidiary, other than such violations or defaults which would not cause a Default hereunder, could not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, or do not have an adverse effect on the enforceability of any Loan Documents, and (e) will not result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any Property of the Borrower or any
Subsidiary (other than the Liens created by the Loan Documents). 
 Section 7.04 Financial Condition; No Material Adverse
Change. 
 (a) The Borrower has heretofore furnished to the Lenders (i) its consolidated balance sheet and statements of income
stockholders equity and cash flows (A) as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, reported on by Deloitte & Touche LLP, independent public accountants, and (B) as of and for the fiscal quarter and the portion of
the fiscal year 

  
 69 








 
ended June 30, 2014, certified by its chief financial officer (or the chief financial officer of the General Partner) (collectively, the “Borrower Financial
Statements”), (ii) (A) an audited consolidated balance sheet of the Frio Group and the Related Affiliates as of December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 and the related audited consolidated statements of income and
cash flows for the fiscal years then ended, and (B) the Frio Group’s (together with certain of its Affiliates’) consolidated unaudited balance sheet as of March 31, 2014 and the related consolidated unaudited statement of income
and cash flows for the three-month period then ended (collectively, the “Frio Financial Statements”), and (iii) the Borrower’s pro forma summary financial statements, Consolidated EBITDA and
other operating data in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, in each case after giving effect to the Transactions as if they had occurred on such date in the case of any balance sheet and as of the beginning of all of the
periods presented in the case of Consolidated EBITDA and other operating data (collectively, the “Pro Forma Financial Statements” and, together with the Borrower Financial Statements and the Frio Financial Statements, the
“Financial Statements”). The Borrower Financial Statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position and results of operations and cash flows of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries as of such
dates and for such periods in accordance with GAAP. The Frio Financial Statements fairly present in all material respects the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the Frio Group and the Related Affiliates on a consolidated
basis as of the respective dates thereof and for the periods therein referred to, all in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the periods involved. The Frio Financial Statements have been prepared from and are in accordance with the
accounting records of the Frio Group and the Related Affiliates (and such records are true, correct and accurately reflect in all material respects all transactions engaged in by the members of the Frio Group). Since January 1, 2012, except as
set forth in the Frio Financial Statements, there has been no material change of the accounting (tax or otherwise) policies, practices or procedures of any member of the Frio Group. The Pro Forma Financial Statements have been prepared in good faith
by the Borrower, based on the assumptions stated therein (which assumptions were and are believed by the Borrower, on the date thereof and the Effective Date, to be reasonable in light of then current conditions and facts then known by the
Borrower), are based on the best information available to the Borrower as of the date of delivery thereof, accurately reflect all adjustments required to be made to give effect to the Transactions, and present fairly in all material respects the
pro forma consolidated financial position and results of operations of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries as of such date and for such periods, assuming that the Transactions have occurred at such dates and at the
beginnings of such periods. The representations in this Section 7.04(a), as applicable, are subject, in the case of unaudited financial statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments and accruals and the absence of notes.  

(b) Since December 31, 2013, there has been no event, development or circumstance that has had or could reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect.

Material Indebtedness (including Disqualified Capital Stock) or any contingent liabilities, off-balance sheet liabilities or partnerships, liabilities for taxes, unusual forward or long-term commitments or unrealized or anticipated losses from any
unfavorable commitments, except as referred to or reflected or provided for in the Financial Statements and the Term Loans. 

  
 70 








 (d) The projections regarding the financial performance of the Borrower and its Consolidated
Subsidiaries furnished to the Lenders have been prepared in good faith by the Borrower and based upon assumptions believed by the Borrower to be reasonable at the time such projections were provided (and on the Effective Date in the case of
forecasts provided prior to the Effective Date) (it being recognized by the Lenders, however, that projections as to future events are not to be viewed as facts and that actual results during the period(s) covered by such projections may differ from
the projected results and that such differences may be material and that neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary makes any representation that such projections will be realized). 

Section 7.05 Litigation. There are no actions, suits, investigations or proceedings by or before any arbitrator or Governmental
Authority pending against or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened against or affecting the Borrower or any Subsidiary, or any of their Properties (a) not fully covered by insurance (except for normal deductibles) as to which there is a

or any of their respective Properties or as a result of any operations at such Properties; 
 (d) none of the Properties of the Borrower or

circumstances that could reasonably be expected to result in the receipt of notice regarding such exposure; and 
 (h) the Borrower has
provided, or has caused its Subsidiaries to provide, to the Lenders complete and correct copies of all environmental site assessment reports, investigations, studies, analyses, and correspondence on environmental matters (including matters relating

the Code, except where the failure to so establish and maintain such Plan could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Instruments, except that, with respect to any Material Real Property acquired by the Borrower or a Subsidiary, the Borrower or such Subsidiary, as the case may be, shall have a period of 60 days (or such later date as the Administrative Agent may
agree in its sole discretion) after such acquisition within which to subject such Material Real Property to a Lien pursuant to the Security Instruments, and, in connection therewith, the Borrower shall, or shall cause such Subsidiary to, execute and
deliver such Security Instruments (in proper form for filing, registration or recordation, as applicable) as are requested by the Administrative Agent, and take such actions necessary or advisable to subject such Material Real Property to a Lien
pursuant to the Security Instruments, provided, however, that with respect to any real Property, if the Administrative Agent reasonably determines that the costs, financial and otherwise, of obtaining or maintaining a Lien, perfecting
a Lien and/or complying with all Governmental Requirements with respect to such a Lien outweigh the benefit to the Secured Parties of the security afforded thereby, the Administrative Agent may notify the Borrower of such determination and,
(x) if such real Property is not then subject to a Lien pursuant to the Security Instruments, such real Property shall not be required to become subject to a Lien pursuant to the Security Instruments and, (y) if such real Property is
already subject to a Lien pursuant to the Security Instruments, the Administrative Agent may, upon obtaining the consent of the Required Lenders, release such Lien. 

(c) Upon the request of the Required Lenders, the Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries shall take any additional actions required, if any, to
cause all of its right, title and interest in each Hedging Agreement to which it is a party to be collaterally assigned to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and shall, if requested by the Administrative Agent or the
Required Lenders, use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause each such agreement or contract to (i) expressly permit such assignment and (ii) upon the occurrence of any default or event of default under such agreement or contract,
(A) to permit the Lenders to cure such default or event of default and assume the obligations of such Loan Party under such agreement or contract and (B) to prohibit the termination of such agreement or contract by the counterparty thereto
if the Lenders assume the obligations of such Loan Party under such agreement or contract and the Lenders take the actions required under the foregoing clause (A). 

  
 88 








 (d) The Borrower agrees that it will not, and will not permit any Guarantor to, grant a Lien on
any Property to secure the Term Loan Facility without contemporaneously granting to the Administrative Agent, as security for the Secured Obligations, a first priority perfected Lien on the same Property pursuant to Security Instruments in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 
 Section 8.15 Designations with Respect to Subsidiaries. 

(a) Within 30 days of the acquisition or formation of a new Subsidiary, the Borrower may designate such Subsidiary as an Excluded Subsidiary by
written notification thereof to the Administrative Agent, provided that (i) no Default exists at the time of or after giving effect to such designation, and (ii) such designation is deemed to be an Investment in such Excluded
Subsidiary in an amount equal to the fair market value as of the date of such designation of the Borrower’s direct or indirect ownership interest in such Excluded Subsidiary and such Investment would be permitted to be made at the time of such
designation under Section 9.05(n). No Loan Party may be redesignated as an Excluded Subsidiary. 
 (b) If the Borrower desires to
designate an Excluded Subsidiary to be a Loan Party after the date hereof, and all of such Excluded Subsidiary’s outstanding Equity Interests (other than any directors’ qualifying shares mandated by applicable law), on a fully-diluted
basis, are owned by the Borrower and/or one or more of the Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries, the Borrower shall cause such Excluded Subsidiary to comply with Section 8.14(a), at which time such Person shall cease to be an “Excluded
Subsidiary” and shall be deemed a “Loan Party” for purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents without any amendment, modification or other supplement to any of the foregoing. 

Section 8.16 Excluded Subsidiaries. The Borrower: 

(a) will cause the management, business and affairs of each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries to be conducted in such a manner (including,
without limitation, by keeping separate books of account) so that each Excluded Subsidiary will be treated as an entity separate and distinct from the Borrower and its Subsidiaries; provided that the foregoing will not prohibit payments under
expense sharing agreements with such Excluded Subsidiaries that are consistent with past practices and/or required by any applicable Governmental Authority. 

(b) will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, assume, guarantee or be or become liable for any Indebtedness of any of the
Excluded Subsidiaries. 
 (c) will not permit any Excluded Subsidiary to hold any Equity Interest in the Borrower or any other Loan Party.

 Section 8.17 ERISA Compliance. The Borrower will promptly furnish and will cause the
Subsidiaries and any ERISA Affiliate to promptly furnish to the Administrative Agent (a) promptly after the filing thereof by the Borrower or any Subsidiary with the United States Secretary of Labor or the Internal Revenue Service (or if filed
by a third party, promptly after the Borrower or a Subsidiary becomes aware of such filing), copies of each annual and other report with respect to each Plan or any trust created thereunder, and (b) promptly upon becoming aware of the
occurrence of any “prohibited transaction,” as described in section 406 of ERISA or in section 4975 of the Code, in connection with any Plan or any trust created thereunder, a written notice signed by the President or the

known, any action taken or proposed by the Internal Revenue Service or the Department of Labor with respect thereto. 
 Section 8.18
Interest Rate Hedging Agreements. As of the last day of each fiscal quarter of the Borrower, commencing with the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2014, the Borrower shall have entered into Hedging Agreements for the purpose of hedging
the Borrower’s exposure to variable interest rates, the notional amounts of which (when aggregated with all other Hedging Agreements of the Loan Parties then in effect in respect of interest rates) shall not be less than fifty percent
(50%) of the then outstanding principal amount of the Loans and the Term Loan Facility. Such Hedging Agreements shall be in the form of floating-to-fixed rate swaps, the purchase of interest rate caps, or any similar hedging instrument designed
to mitigate interest rate risk, in each case approved by the Administrative Agent. 
 Section 8.19 Commodity Exchange Act Keepwell
Provisions. The Borrower hereby guarantees the payment and performance of all Secured Obligations of each Loan Party (other than the Borrower) and absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as
may be needed from time to time by each Loan Party (other than the Borrower) in order for such Loan Party to honor its obligations under the Guaranty and Collateral Agreement including obligations with respect to Hedging Agreements (provided,
however, that the Borrower shall only be liable under this Section for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section, or otherwise under this Agreement or any Loan
Document, as it relates to such other Loan Parties, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations of the Borrower under this Section shall remain in full
force and effect until all Indebtedness is paid in full to the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and all other Secured Parties, and all of the Lenders’ Commitments are terminated. The Borrower intends that this Section constitute, and this
Section shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Loan Party for all purposes of section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act. 

Section 8.20 Post-Closing Obligations. The Borrower shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, as the case may be, each of the items
set forth on Schedule 8.20, in each case on or prior to the date specified in such Schedule for such item or such later date as the Administrative Agent may determine and agree to in writing in its sole discretion.

pursuant to Section 8.01(a). Unless and until the Borrower elects the application of the Q4 2014 Base Periods in accordance with the preceding sentence, the Borrower’s compliance with this Section 9.01 for the Rolling

 91 








 (e) Borrower’s Right to Cure. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Section 9.01, in the event that the Borrower fails to comply with the requirements of clauses (a), (b), and/or (c) of this Section 9.01 as of the last day of any fiscal quarter
(such date, the “Equity Cure Test Date”) ending on or after the Effective Date (such event, a “Financial Covenant Default”), then the Borrower shall have the right to cure any such Financial Covenant
Default (such right, the “Equity Cure Right”) subject to the following terms and conditions: 
 (i)
The Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent irrevocable written notice of its intent to exercise the Equity Cure Right (an “Equity Cure Notice”) no later than ten (10) calendar days after the date (the
“Equity Cure Delivery Date”) on which financial statements and a compliance certificate for the Rolling Period ending on such Equity Cure Test Date are required to be delivered pursuant to Sections 8.01(a), (b),
and (d), as applicable. The Equity Cure Notice shall set forth the calculation of the applicable Equity Cure Amount (as defined below) and be certified by a Financial Officer of the Borrower. 

(ii) No later than five (5) calendar days after receipt by the Administrative Agent of an Equity Cure Notice, the Borrower shall
cause the Sponsors and/or any of their Affiliates to purchase Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Capital Stock) in or make capital contributions to the Borrower (such purchase or capital contribution, as applicable, the “Equity

March 31, 2015, and, if the Borrower elects application of the Q4 2014 Base Periods in accordance with Section 9.01(d), the Rolling Period ending on June 30, 2015) for the Rolling Period ended on such Equity Cure Test Date,
would result in the Borrower being in pro forma compliance with clauses (a), (b) and (c) of this Section 9.01, in each case to the extent applicable on such Equity Cure Test Date
(such amount, which shall be calculated in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, the “Equity Cure Amount”).  

(iii) The Equity Cure Right shall not be exercised more than two (2) times in any twelve-month period or more than four (4) times
during the term of this Agreement. 
 (iv) From the applicable Equity Cure Delivery Date until the earliest of (A) five
(5) calendar days after receipt by the Administrative Agent of an Equity Cure Notice or (B) consummation of the Equity Cure Contribution, and (C) (the date on which the Administrative Agent is notified by the Borrower that no Equity
Cure Contribution will be made, the applicable Financial Covenant Default shall constitute an Event of Default for all purposes under this Agreement, but neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall impose default interest, accelerate the
Secured Obligations, terminate the Commitments or exercise any enforcement remedy against any Loan Party or any of their respective Property, in each case solely with respect to such Financial Covenant Default. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Section 9.01(e)(iv) the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to exercise any of their respective rights and remedies under this Agreement and under applicable law to the extent that any other Event of
Default (other than the applicable Financial Covenant Default) has occurred and is continuing. 

  
 92 








 (v) Upon the timely consummation of the Equity Cure Contribution and Borrower’s receipt of
net cash proceeds thereof in an amount not less than the Equity Cure Amount, the Borrower shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of clauses (a), (b), and (c) of this Section 9.01 as of the applicable
Equity Cure Test Date with the same effect as though there was no failure to comply therewith as of such Equity Cure Test Date, and the Financial Covenant Default shall be automatically deemed cured and waived for all purposes of this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents. 
 (vi) With respect to any Equity Cure Contribution, solely for the purposes of calculating the Borrower’s
compliance with clauses (a), (b), and (c) of this Section 9.01, as applicable, for each Rolling Period ending after the applicable Equity Cure Test Date that includes the fiscal quarter ending on such Equity
Cure Test Date, (A) the Borrower shall be deemed to have received the Equity Cure Amount during the fiscal quarter ending on such Equity Cure Test Date, and (B) the Borrower may add the applicable Equity Cure Amount in calculating its
Consolidated EBITDA (or Annualized Consolidated EBITDA, in the case of the Rolling Periods ending on or prior to March 31, 2015, and, if the Borrower elects application of the Q4 2014 Base Periods in accordance with Section 9.01(d),
the Rolling Period ending on June 30, 2015) for such Rolling Period. For the avoidance of doubt, no Equity Cure Amount shall be retroactively netted or credited against Consolidated Total Funded Indebtedness in the calculation of the
Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio or the Consolidated Senior Secured Leverage Ratio, as applicable, for the purpose of determining the Borrower’s compliance with clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 9.01 for
the Rolling Period ending on the Equity Cure Test Date for which such Equity Cure Amount is received.

liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or an Issuing Bank, the
Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or such Issuing Bank unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or such Issuing Bank prior to the making of such
Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or
not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the holder thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until a written notice of the

this Article XI shall apply to any such sub agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities
provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent. 
 Section 11.06 Resignation of Administrative Agent. The
Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, each Issuing Bank and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to
appoint a bank as a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation,
then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders and each Issuing Bank, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above, provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the
Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (a) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its
duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders or any Issuing Bank under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring
Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (b) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the
Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and each Issuing Bank directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section 11.06. Upon the
acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the
retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this paragraph). The fees payable by the Borrower to a
successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents, the provisions of this Article XI and Section 12.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or
omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent. 
 Section 11.07
Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based
on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the
Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based
upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement 

  
 110 








 
or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. The Agents shall not be required to keep themselves informed as to the performance or observance by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of
this Agreement, the Loan Documents, or any other document referred to or provided for herein or to inspect the Properties or books of the Loan Parties or the Subsidiaries. Except for notices, reports, and other documents and information expressly
required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, no Agent shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with an credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition, or business of the
Loan Parties (or any of their Affiliates) which may come into possession of such Agent or any of its Affiliates. In this regard, each Lender acknowledges that Vinson & Elkins L.L.P. is acting in this transaction as special counsel to the
Administrative Agent only, except that to the extent otherwise expressly stated in any legal opinion or any Loan Document. Each other party hereto will consult with its own legal counsel to the extent that it deems necessary in connection with the
Loan Documents and the matters contemplated therein. 
 Section 11.08 No Other Duties, etc. The Joint Arrangers, the
Co-Syndication Agents and the Documentation Agent shall have no duties, responsibilities or liabilities under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents other than, with respect to the Documentation Agent and any Co-Syndication Agent or Joint
Arranger that is also a Lender, its duties, responsibilities and liabilities in its capacity as a Lender hereunder. 
 Section 11.09
Authority of Administrative Agent to Release Collateral and Liens. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank hereby authorizes, and each other Person accepting the benefit of the Liens created by the Security Instruments shall be deemed to have
authorized, the Administrative Agent to release (a) any Collateral that is permitted to be sold or released pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents, and (b) any Mortgaged Property that does not constitute Material Real Property if any
Building (as defined in the applicable Flood Insurance Regulation) or Manufactured (Mobile) Home (as defined in the applicable Flood Insurance Regulation) is situated on such Mortgaged Property and the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion,
determines that the costs, financial and otherwise, of obtaining or maintaining a Lien or complying with all Governmental Requirements with respect to such Lien outweigh the benefit to the Secured Parties of the security afforded thereby. Each
Lender and each Issuing Bank hereby authorizes, and each other Person accepting the benefit of the Liens created by the Security Instruments shall be deemed to have authorized, the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver to the Borrower (or
file, if appropriate), at the Borrower’s sole cost and expense, any and all releases of Liens, termination statements, assignments or other documents reasonably requested by the Borrower in connection with any sale or other disposition of
Property to the extent such sale or other disposition is permitted by the terms of Section 9.11 or is otherwise authorized by the terms of the Loan Documents. To the extent any Property is sold, assigned, conveyed or otherwise
transferred as expressly permitted by Section 9.11 to any Person other than a Loan Party, such Collateral shall be sold, assigned, conveyed or otherwise transferred free and clear of all Liens created by the Loan Documents. 

Section 11.10 Action by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall have no duty to take any discretionary action or
exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing as directed by the Required Lenders (or such
other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the 

  
 111 








 
circumstances as provided in Section 12.02) and in all cases the Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder or under any other Loan
Documents unless it shall (a) receive written instructions from the Required Lenders or the Lenders, as applicable, (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in
Section 12.02) specifying the action to be taken and (b) be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expenses which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such
action. The instructions as aforesaid and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto by the Administrative Agent shall be binding on all of the Lenders. If a Default has occurred and is continuing, then the Administrative Agent shall take
such action with respect to such Default as shall be directed by the requisite Lenders in the written instructions (with indemnities) described in this Section, provided that, unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such
directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders. In no event, however, shall
the Administrative Agent be required to take any action which exposes the Administrative Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to this Agreement, the Loan Documents or applicable law. If a Default has occurred and is continuing, neither
the Syndication Agent nor the Documentation Agent shall have any obligation to perform any act in respect thereof. 
 Section 11.11
Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to the Borrower or any
of its Subsidiaries, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made
any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise: 
 (a) to file and prove a
claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Indebtedness 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 and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the
Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Section 12.03) 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. 
 Furthermore, any custodian, receiver,
assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent consents to
the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, 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 Section 12.03. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization,
arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Indebtedness or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding. 

  
 112 








 Section 11.12 Intercreditor Agreement. The Lenders hereby authorize the
Administrative Agent to enter into the Intercreditor Agreement and to amend such agreement in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.02. Each Lender (by receiving the benefits thereunder and of the Collateral pledged pursuant to
the Security Instruments) agrees that the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall be binding on such Lender and its successors and assigns, as if it was a party thereto.

 (iv) if to any other Lender, to it at its address (or facsimile number) set forth in its
Administrative Questionnaire. 
 Notices sent by hand or overnight courier service, or mailed by certified or registered mail, shall be deemed to have been
given when received; notices sent by facsimile shall be deemed to have been given when sent (except that, if not given during normal business hours for the recipient, shall be deemed to have been given at the opening of business on the next business
day for the recipient). Notices delivered through electronic communications to the extent provided in Section 12.01(b) below, shall be effective as provided in Section 12.01(b). 

(b) Electronic Communications. 

(i) Notices and other communications to the Lenders and the Issuing Banks hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication
(including e-mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender or any Issuing Bank pursuant to Article II,
Article III, Article IV and Article V if such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as applicable, has notified the Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Article(s) by electronic communication. The
Administrative Agent or the Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be
limited to particular notices or communications. 
 (ii) Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (A) notices and other
communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other
written acknowledgement), provided that if such notice or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next
business day for the recipient, and (B) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause
(B) of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefore. 
 (c) Change of

 Section 12.02 Waivers; Amendments.

 (a) No failure on the part of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender to exercise and no delay in exercising, and no
course of dealing with respect to, any right, power or privilege, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right, power or privilege, under any of the Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or
partial exercise of any right, power or privilege under any of the Loan Documents preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or 

  
 115 








 
privilege. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or
remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by
Section 12.02(b), and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of
Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time. 

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof nor any Security Instrument nor any provision thereof may be waived, amended or modified
except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders or by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall
(i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder, or reduce
any other Secured Obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, without the written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby, provided, however, that only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary (A) to
amend the definition of “Default Rate” or to waive any obligation of the Borrower to pay interest or Letter of Credit Participation Fees at the Default Rate or (B) to amend any financial covenant hereunder (or any defined term used
therein) even if the effect of such amendment would be to reduce the rate of interest on any Loan or L/C Borrowing or to reduce any fee payable hereunder, (iii) postpone the scheduled date of payment or prepayment of the principal amount of any
Loan or LC Disbursement, (excluding mandatory prepayments), or any interest thereon, or any fees payable hereunder, or any other Secured Obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such
payment, or postpone or extend the Termination Date or Maturity Date without the written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby, (iv) change Section 4.01(b) or Section 4.01(c) in a manner that would alter the
pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the written consent of each Lender, (v) waive or amend Section 3.04(c), Section 6.01, Section 10.02(c) or Section 12.14 or change the
definition of the terms “Domestic Subsidiary”, “Foreign Subsidiary” or “Subsidiary”, without the written consent of each Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender), (vi) release any Guarantor (except as permitted
pursuant to the Guaranty and Collateral Agreement or in connection with a sale of such Guarantor permitted under Section 9.11) or release all or substantially all of the Collateral, without the written consent of each Lender (other than
any Defaulting Lender), (vii) change any of the provisions of this Section 12.02(b), Section 10.02(c), or the definitions of “Required Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage
of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or under any other Loan Documents or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder or any other Loan Documents, without the written consent of each Lender other than any
Defaulting Lender, or (viii) change the application of prepayments under Section 3.04(b)(iv), without the written consent of the Required Lenders (it being understood that the Required Lenders may waive, in whole or in part, any
prepayment so long as the application of any such prepayment that is still required to be made is not changed); provided, further, that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the
Administrative 

  
 116 








 
Agent, any other Agent, or any Issuing Bank hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, such other Agent or any Issuing Bank, as the
case may be. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) any supplement to Schedule 7.14 (Subsidiaries) shall be effective simply by delivering to the Administrative Agent a supplemental schedule clearly marked as such and, upon receipt, the
Administrative Agent will promptly deliver a copy thereof to the Lenders, (y) the Borrower (or other applicable Loan Party) and the Administrative Agent may amend this Agreement or any other Loan Document without the consent of the Lenders in
order to correct, amend or cure any ambiguity, inconsistency or defect or correct any typographical error or other manifest error in any Loan Document if the same is not objected to in writing by Lenders constituting the Required Lenders within 5
Business Days after the Administrative Agent delivers written notice thereof to the Lenders, and (z) the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (or other applicable Loan Party) may enter into any amendment, modification or waiver of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document or enter into any agreement or instrument to effect the granting, perfection, protection, expansion or enhancement of any security interest in any Mortgaged Property or Property to become Mortgaged Property to
secure the Secured Obligations for the benefit of the Lenders or as required by any Governmental Requirement to give effect to, protect or otherwise enhance the rights or benefits of any Lender under the Loan Documents without the consent of any
Lender.

of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any amendments, modifications or waivers of or consents related to the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated),

thereunder, (iv) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender) in connection with the enforcement or

limitation, all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 12.03(a) or
elsewhere in any of the Loan Documents, neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary shall be obligated to pay or reimburse any Person for any costs, expenses, fees, taxes or other charges of any nature whatsoever that are incurred or payable by any
Person in connection with any assignment referred to in Section 12.04(b), any participation referred to in Section 12.04(d) or any pledge or security interest referred to in Section 12.04(f).

(b) Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its 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 assignments shall be subject to the following conditions: 

  
 120 








 (i) Minimum Amounts. 

(A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Loans 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 Section 12.04(b)(i)(A), the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding
balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified
in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $5,000,000, 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 of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and with respect to the Loan or the Commitment assigned, except that this clause (ii) shall not prohibit any Lender from assigning all
or a portion of its rights on a non- pro rata basis. 
 (iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any
assignment except to the extent required by Section 12.04(b)(i)(B) and, in addition: 
 (A) the consent of the Borrower (such
consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (1) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (2) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an
Approved Fund; provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received notice
thereof; 
 (B) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for
assignments in respect of a Commitment or Revolving Credit Exposure if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender with a Commitment, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender; 

(C) the consent of each Issuing Bank (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 LC Exposure (whether or not then outstanding). 
 (iv) Assignment and
Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (unless the assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a
Lender or an Approved Fund), and the assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire. 

  
 121 








 (v) No Assignment to Borrower. No such assignment shall be made to the Borrower, any
Sponsor, or any of the Borrower’s or any Sponsor’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries. 
 (vi) No Assignment to Natural Persons. No
such assignment shall be made to a natural person. 
 (vii) No Assignments to Defaulting Lenders. No such assignment shall be made to
a Defaulting Lender. 
 Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 12.04(c), from and after the
effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under
this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all
of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 5.01, Section 5.02,
Section 5.03 and Section 12.03 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does
not comply with this Section 12.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 12.04(d). 

(c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one
of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the Loans and LC
Disbursements owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). Upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender
and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 12.04(b) and any written consent to such
assignment required by Section 12.04(b), the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement
unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this Section 12.04(c). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank and the Lenders may treat each Person whose
name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the Issuing Banks and any
Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. In connection with any changes to the Register, if necessary, the Administrative Agent will reflect the revisions on Annex I and forward a copy of such revised
Annex I to the Borrower, the Issuing Banks and each Lender. 

  
 122 








 (d) Participations. 

(i) Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank, sell
participations to any Person (other than a natural Person or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations
under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely
responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection
with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. 
 (ii) Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells
such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may
provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the proviso to Section 12.02 that affects such Participant. In addition such agreement must provide
that the Participant be bound by the provisions of Section 12.03. Subject to Section 12.04(e), the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 5.01, Section 5.02
and Section 5.03 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 12.04(b). To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of
Section 12.08 as though it were a Lender, provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 4.01(c) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose
as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the
Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information
relating to a Participant’s interest in any 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. 
 (e) Limitations upon Participant Rights.
A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 5.01 or Section 5.03 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant,
unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 5.03
unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 5.03(f) as though it were a Lender 

  
 123 








 (f) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in
all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including, without limitation, any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or other central bank having jurisdiction over such
Lender, and Section 12.04(e) shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder
or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. 
 (g) Restrictions if Registration Required.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 12.04, no transfer or assignment of the interests or obligations of any Lender or any grant of participations therein shall be permitted if such transfer, assignment or grant would
require the Borrower and the Guarantors to file a registration statement with the SEC or to qualify the Loans under the “Blue Sky” laws of any state. 

Section 12.05 Survival; Revival; Reinstatement. 

(a) All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower herein and in the certificates or other instruments
delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any Loans
and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, any other Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge
of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable
under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Section 5.01, Section 5.02, Section 5.03 and
Section 12.03 and Article XI shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of
Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any provision hereof or thereof. 
 (b) To the
extent that any payments on the Secured Obligations or proceeds of any Collateral are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, debtor in possession, receiver or other
Person under any bankruptcy law, common law or equitable cause, then to such extent, the Secured Obligations so satisfied shall be revived and continue as if such payment or proceeds had not been received and the Administrative Agent’s and the
Lenders’ Liens, security interests, rights, powers and remedies under this Agreement and each Loan Document shall continue in full force and effect. In such event, each Loan Document shall be automatically reinstated and the Borrower shall take
such action as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to effect such reinstatement. 

  
 124 








 Section 12.06 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; Electronic Execution. 

(a) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of
which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. 
 (b) Integration. This
Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede any and
all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES HERETO AND THERETO AND MAY NOT BE
CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES. 

(c) Effectiveness. Except as provided in Section 6.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been
executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed
counterpart of this Agreement. 
 (d) Electronic Execution of Assignments. The words “execution,” “signed,”
“signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or
enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National
Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. 

Section 12.07 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document held to be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof or
thereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. 

Section 12.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender, each Issuing Bank and
each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in
whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (of whatsoever kind, including, without limitations obligations under Hedging Agreements, and in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender, such Issuing Bank or any such Affiliate
to or for the credit or the 

  
 125 








 
account of the Borrower or any Subsidiary against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower or any Subsidiary now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to
such Lender or such Issuing Bank, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or such Issuing Bank shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the Borrower or such Subsidiary may be
contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender or such Issuing Bank different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such Indebtedness. The rights of each Lender, each Issuing Bank and their
respective Affiliates under this Section 12.08 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, such Issuing Bank or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank
agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. 

Section 12.09 GOVERNING LAW; JURISDICTION; CONSENT TO SERVICE OF PROCESS. 

(a) THIS AGREEMENT AND, EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE SET FORTH THEREIN, THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH,
THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT UNITED STATES FEDERAL LAW PERMITS ANY LENDER TO CONTRACT FOR, CHARGE, RECEIVE, RESERVE OR TAKE INTEREST AT THE RATE ALLOWED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE WHERE SUCH LENDER IS LOCATED. 

(b) ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS SHALL, EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE SET FORTH THEREIN, BE BROUGHT EXCLUSIVELY IN

(c) EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE SERVICE OF PROCESS OF ANY OF THE AFOREMENTIONED COURTS IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY THE
MAILING OF COPIES THEREOF BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID, TO IT AT THE ADDRESS SPECIFIED IN SECTION 12.01 OR SUCH OTHER ADDRESS AS IS SPECIFIED PURSUANT TO SECTION 12.01 (OR ITS ASSIGNMENT AND ASSUMPTION), SUCH
SERVICE TO BECOME EFFECTIVE THIRTY (30) DAYS AFTER SUCH MAILING. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF A PARTY OR ANY HOLDER OF A NOTE TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR TO COMMENCE LEGAL PROCEEDINGS OR OTHERWISE

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

Section 12.11 Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank and the Lenders agrees to maintain the
confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors (including
accountants and legal counsel) and other representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential),
(b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by
applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document
or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this
Section 12.11, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors)
to any Hedging Agreement relating to the Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the consent of the Borrower, or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this
Section 12.11 or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any 

  
 127 








 
Issuing Bank, any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower. For purposes of this Section 12.11,
“Information” means all information received from the Borrower or any Subsidiary relating to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the
Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower or a Subsidiary; provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrower or any Subsidiary after the date hereof,
such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 12.11 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation
to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. 

Section 12.12 Interest Rate Limitation. It is the intention of the parties hereto that each Lender shall conform strictly to usury
laws applicable to it. Accordingly, if the Transactions contemplated hereby would be usurious as to any Lender under laws applicable to it (including the laws of the United States of America and the State of Texas or any other jurisdiction whose
laws may be mandatorily applicable to such Lender notwithstanding the other provisions of this Agreement), then, in that event, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any of the Loan Documents or any agreement entered into in connection with or
as security for the Secured Obligations, it is agreed as follows: (a) the aggregate of all consideration which constitutes interest under law applicable to any Lender that is contracted for, taken, reserved, charged or received by such Lender
under any of the Loan Documents or agreements or otherwise in connection with the Loans shall under no circumstances exceed the maximum amount allowed by such applicable law, and any excess shall be canceled automatically and if theretofore paid
shall be credited by such Lender on the principal amount of the Secured Obligations (or, to the extent that the principal amount of the Secured Obligations shall have been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded by such Lender to the Borrower);
and (b) in the event that the maturity of the Loans is accelerated by reason of an election of the holder thereof resulting from any Event of Default under this Agreement or otherwise, or in the event of any required or permitted prepayment,
then such consideration that constitutes interest under law applicable to any Lender may never include more than the maximum amount allowed by such applicable law, and excess interest, if any, provided for in this Agreement or otherwise shall be
canceled automatically by such Lender as of the date of such acceleration or prepayment and, if theretofore paid, shall be credited by such Lender on the principal amount of the Secured Obligations (or, to the extent that the principal amount of the
Secured Obligations shall have been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded by such Lender to the Borrower). All sums paid or agreed to be paid to any Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of sums due hereunder shall, to the extent
permitted by law applicable to such Lender, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the stated term of the Loans until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of any Loans hereunder does not exceed the
maximum amount allowed by such applicable law. If at any time and from time to time (i) the amount of interest payable to any Lender on any date shall be computed at the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to such Lender pursuant to this
Section 12.12 and (ii) in respect of any subsequent interest computation period the amount of interest otherwise payable to such Lender would be less than the amount of interest payable to such Lender computed at the Highest Lawful
Rate applicable to such Lender, then the amount of interest payable to such Lender in respect of such subsequent interest computation period shall continue 

  
 128 








 
to be computed at the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to such Lender until the total amount of interest payable to such Lender shall equal the total amount of interest which would have been
payable to such Lender if the total amount of interest had been computed without giving effect to this Section 12.12. To the extent that Chapter 303 of the Texas Finance Code is relevant for the purpose of determining the Highest Lawful
Rate applicable to a Lender, such Lender elects to determine the applicable rate ceiling under such Chapter by the weekly ceiling from time to time in effect. Chapter 346 of the Texas Finance Code does not apply to the Borrower’s obligations
hereunder. 
 Section 12.13 EXCULPATION PROVISIONS. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO SPECIFICALLY AGREES THAT IT HAS A DUTY TO READ
THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND AGREES THAT IT IS CHARGED WITH NOTICE AND KNOWLEDGE OF THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS; THAT IT HAS IN FACT READ THIS AGREEMENT AND IS FULLY INFORMED AND HAS FULL NOTICE AND
KNOWLEDGE OF THE TERMS, CONDITIONS AND EFFECTS OF THIS AGREEMENT; THAT IT HAS BEEN REPRESENTED BY INDEPENDENT LEGAL COUNSEL OF ITS CHOICE THROUGHOUT THE NEGOTIATIONS PRECEDING ITS EXECUTION OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS; AND HAS
RECEIVED THE ADVICE OF ITS ATTORNEY IN ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS; AND THAT IT RECOGNIZES THAT CERTAIN OF THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS RESULT IN ONE PARTY ASSUMING THE LIABILITY INHERENT IN
SOME ASPECTS OF THE TRANSACTION AND RELIEVING THE OTHER PARTY OF ITS RESPONSIBILITY FOR SUCH LIABILITY. EACH PARTY HERETO AGREES AND COVENANTS THAT IT WILL NOT CONTEST THE VALIDITY OR ENFORCEABILITY OF ANY EXCULPATORY PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT AND
THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS ON THE BASIS THAT THE PARTY HAD NO NOTICE OR KNOWLEDGE OF SUCH PROVISION OR THAT THE PROVISION IS NOT “CONSPICUOUS.” 

Section 12.14 Collateral Matters; Secured Hedging Agreements; Bank Products. The benefit of the Security Instruments and of the
provisions of this Agreement relating to any Collateral securing the Secured Obligations shall also extend to and be available to the Secured Hedging Counterparties with respect to any Secured Hedging Agreement (including any Secured Hedging
Agreement in existence prior to the date hereof, but excluding any additional transactions or confirmations entered into (a) after such Secured Hedging Counterparty ceases to be a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or (b) after assignment
by a Secured Hedging Counterparty to another Person that is not a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender) and Bank Products Providers with respect to any obligations in respect of Bank Products. No Lender or any Affiliate of a Lender shall have any
voting or consent rights under any Loan Document as a result of the existence of obligations owed to it under any such Secured Hedging Agreements or in respect of Bank Products. 

Section 12.15 No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and the agreement of the Lenders to make
Loans and each Issuing Bank to issue, amend, renew or extend Letters of Credit hereunder are solely for the benefit of the Borrower, and no other Person (including, without limitation, any Subsidiary of the Borrower, any obligor,


  
 129 








 
contractor, subcontractor, supplier or materialman) shall have any rights, claims, remedies or privileges hereunder or under any other Loan Document against the Administrative Agent, any other
Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender for any reason whatsoever. There are no third party beneficiaries. 
 Section 12.16 USA
Patriot Act Notice. Each Lender hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “USA Patriot Act”), it is
required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and other information that will allow such Lender to identify
the Borrower and its Subsidiaries in accordance with the USA Patriot Act. 
 Section 12.17 Amendment and Restatement. It is the
intention of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, and the Lenders, and such parties hereby agree, from and after the Effective Date, this Agreement supersedes and replaces the Existing Credit Agreement in its entirety, and that (a) such
amendment and restatement shall operate to renew, amend and modify certain of the rights and obligations of the parties under the Existing Credit Agreement as provided herein, but shall not act as a novation thereof, and (b) the Liens securing
the “Secured Obligations” under and as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement shall not be extinguished, but shall be carried forward and shall secure such obligations and Indebtedness as renewed, amended, restated, and modified hereby.
Unless specifically amended hereby, each of the Loan Documents, the Exhibits and the Schedules shall continue in full force and effect and, from and after the Effective Date, all references to the “Credit Agreement” contained therein shall
be deemed to refer to this Agreement. Each Lender hereunder that is an Existing Lender and the Borrower each hereby consent to the amendments to, and amendments and restatements of, the Existing Loan Documents in the form of the Loan Documents. 

Section 12.18 NON-RECOURSE TO THE GENERAL PARTNER. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS DO NOT AND WILL NOT IN ANY WAY
CONSTITUTE A DIRECT OR INDIRECT GUARANTY BY THE GENERAL PARTNER OF THE OBLIGATIONS OF THE BORROWER OR ANY SUBSIDIARY HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER. IF ANY PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT IS HELD BY ANY AUTHORITY TO CONSTITUTE A
DIRECT OR INDIRECT GUARANTY BY THE GENERAL PARTNER OF THE OBLIGATIONS OF THE BORROWER OR ANY SUBSIDIARY, SUCH PROVISION SHALL BE DEEMED INEFFECTIVE TO THE EXTENT SUCH PROVISION CONSTITUTES A DIRECT OR INDIRECT GUARANTY BY THE GENERAL PARTNER OF THE
OBLIGATIONS OF THE BORROWER OR ANY SUBSIDIARY. NEITHER THIS AGREEMENT NOR ANY LOAN DOCUMENT IS INTENDED TO CREATE ANY LIABILITY OF THE GENERAL PARTNER FOR THE PERFORMANCE OF ANY OBLIGATION OF THE BORROWER OR ANY SUBSIDIARY THEREUNDER OR HEREUNDER.
NEITHER THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT NOR ANY LENDER SHALL HAVE ANY RECOURSE AGAINST THE GENERAL PARTNER (INCLUDING ANY RECOURSE FOR ANY DEFICIENCY REMAINING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY LOAN DOCUMENT AFTER THE DISPOSITION OF COLLATERAL PLEDGED BY THE
BORROWER OR ANY SUBSIDIARY AND THE DISPOSITION OF THE GP COLLATERAL PLEDGED BY THE GENERAL PARTNER); PROVIDED, THAT, 

  
 130 








 
NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING TO THE CONTRARY, IN NO EVENT SHALL THIS SECTION 12.18 RELIEVE THE GENERAL PARTNER FROM ANY LIABILITY IT MAY HAVE AS A RESULT OF ITS FRAUD, WILLFUL MISCONDUCT
OR GROSS NEGLIGENCE, OR THAT OF ANY OF ITS OFFICERS, IN CONNECTION WITH THE EXECUTION, DELIVERY OR PERFORMANCE OF ANY LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY CERTIFICATES OR DOCUMENTS DELIVERED IN CONNECTION THEREWITH BY THE GENERAL PARTNER ON BEHALF OF THE BORROWER
IN ITS CAPACITY AS THE BORROWER’S GENERAL PARTNER. 
 Section 12.19 No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection
with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), the Borrower acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Subsidiaries’
understanding, that: (a) (i) no fiduciary, advisory or agency relationship between the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and the Administrative Agent, any other Agent, any Joint Arranger or any Lender is intended to be or has been created in
