 Section 2.1 Commitment to Lend. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Lender
severally agrees to (a) make a single Tranche B1 Term Loan to the Borrower on the Closing Date in a principal amount not exceeding such Lender’s Tranche B1 Term Commitment and (b) make a single Tranche B2 Term Loan to the Borrower on the
Closing Date in a principal amount not exceeding such Lender’s Tranche B2 Term Commitment. The obligations of each Lender hereunder shall be several and not joint. Amounts borrowed under this Section 2.1 and repaid or prepaid may not be
reborrowed. 
 Section 2.2 Repayment of the Loans. The Borrower agrees to repay the full principal amount of
(a) the Tranche B1 Term Loans in six installments, with (i) each of the first five installments, equal to 1% of the initial aggregate principal amount of the Tranche B1 Term Loans, to be due and payable on the first five Principal Payment
Dates occurring after the date hereof and (ii) the sixth installment, equal to the full remaining balance of the Tranche B1 Term Loans, to be due and payable on the Tranche B1 Term Maturity Date and (b) the Tranche B2 Term Loans in four
installments, with (i) each of the first three installments, equal to 1% of the initial aggregate principal amount of the Tranche B2 Term Loans, to be due and payable on the first three Principal Payment Dates occurring after the date


  
 47 









 
hereof and (ii) the fourth installment, equal to the full remaining balance of the Tranche B2 Term Loans, to be due and payable on the Tranche B2 Term Maturity Date. 

Section 2.3 Making of the Loans; Evidence of Debt. 
 (a) Notice of Borrowing. The Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower, specifying therein the following information: (1) the date of such Borrowing,
(2) whether such Borrowing is to be a LIBOR Borrowing or an Index Rate Borrowing, (3) the aggregate amount of such Borrowing, and (4) in the case of a Borrowing consisting of LIBOR Loans, the initial LIBOR Period for each such Loan.
If the Borrower fails to specify a Type of Loan in a Notice of Borrowing, then the applicable Loans shall be made as LIBOR Loans with a LIBOR Period of one month. If the Borrower requests a Borrowing of LIBOR Loans but fails to specify the LIBOR
Period it will be deemed to have specified a LIBOR Period of one month. 
 (b) Funding by Lenders. Each Lender of the
applicable Class shall, before 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date of such Borrowing, make available for the account of its Lending Office to the Administrative Agent at the Collection Account, in same day funds, such Lender’s ratable
portion of the Borrowing. 
 (c) Funding to Borrower. After the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such funds, and
subject to the satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, the Administrative Agent will make such funds available to the Borrower by wire transfer to the Borrower. 

(d) Lender Failure to Make Loans. 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. The Commitments of the Lenders are several and no Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make Loans as required. 

(e) Lenders’ Accounts. Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the
indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder. 

(f) Administrative Agent’s Records of Loans. The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record
(i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Class and Type thereof and the LIBOR Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender
hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof. 
 (g) Entries Prima Facie Evidence. The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to Section 2.3(e) or 2.3(f) shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the
obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligations of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement. 
 (h) Notes. Any Lender may elect, by notice to the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent, to have such Lender’s Loan be evidenced by a Note issued to that Lender. Upon such request, the Borrower shall execute and deliver a promissory note substantially in the form of Exhibit B (each a “Note” and
collectively the “Notes”) to the applicable Lender, in the principal amount of the Loan owing to such Lender, and appropriately completed. Each Note shall be made payable to the applicable Lender


  
 48 









 
at the office of the Administrative Agent. If no such Note is requested, such Lender may rely on the Register as evidence of the amount of Obligations with respect to the Loan from time to time
owing to it. If a Note is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Borrower shall issue a new Note, in the same principal amount and having the same interest rate, date and maturity as the Note so mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed endorsed to
indicate all payments thereon. In the case of any lost, stolen or destroyed Note, there shall first be furnished to the Borrower an instrument of indemnity from the applicable Lender and evidence of such loss, theft or destruction reasonably
satisfactory to each of them. 
 (i) Register. The Administrative Agent will establish and maintain a record of ownership
(the “Register”) in which the Administrative Agent agrees to register by book entry the Administrative Agent’s and each Lender’s interest in the Loan, the Notes and this Agreement, and in the right to receive any payments
hereunder or thereunder and any assignment of any such interest or rights. In connection with any assignment pursuant to Section 9.2, the Administrative Agent shall maintain a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by
it and shall record the names and addresses of the Lenders and principal amount of the Loan owing to each Lender from time to time. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.3(i), the Administrative Agent shall be the Borrower’s agent for
purposes of establishing and maintaining the Register. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name
is recorded in the Register as a Lender for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any Lender (with respect to information regarding its Loan) at any reasonable
time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 
 Section 2.4 Commitment Termination. Unless previously
terminated, the Commitment of each Lender shall automatically terminate at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time), on the Closing Date. 

Section 2.5 Optional Payments. 
 (a) Notice. The Borrower may, on notice (given not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed payment of the Loans (in the case of LIBOR

notice is given the Borrower shall, pay the outstanding principal amounts of the Loans comprising part of the same Borrowing in whole or ratably in part, together with accrued but unpaid interest to the date of such payment on the principal amount
paid; provided, however, that (i) each partial payment shall be in an aggregate principal amount not less than $5,000,000 or integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (ii) in the case of any such payment of a
LIBOR Loan, or if the Borrower revokes such notice pursuant to clause (b) below, the Borrower shall also pay any amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.10(d).

thereon (and, if applicable, together with the payment premium described in Section 2.5(d)) shall (subject to the proviso below) become due and payable on the date specified for such payment; provided, however, that the Borrower
may revoke any notice of payment given under Section 2.5(a) by notice to the Administrative Agent no later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the date specified for such payment (which notice may be provided telephonically or in person if
promptly confirmed in writing (including by facsimile or other electronic means)). 

  
 49

thereby; provided, that any such Lender so replaced shall be entitled to the prepayment premium set forth in clause (x) of the preceding sentence with respect to its Loans so assigned unless such fee is waived by such Lender. 

Section 2.6 Mandatory Prepayments. 
 (a) Borrower Release. Upon the effectiveness of any Borrower Release (and after giving effect to the receipt and application of any proceeds of a replacement secured financing consummated

(e) Collateral Coverage Failure. 
 (i) If at any time it is determined that a Collateral Coverage Ratio Failure has occurred other than as a result of a circumstance described in clauses (a), (b), or (c) above, and no cash, Cash
Equivalents, Accounts or Appraised Collateral is pledged to the Administrative Agent as additional Collateral pursuant to Section 5.8(c)(i) within the time period specified in Section 6.3(b), the Borrower shall prepay the Loans to the

 51 









 
Payment Date, upon the payment thereof in whole or in part, and, if not previously paid in full, at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise). Interest on the Loans shall be calculated on
the basis of a year of 360 days (or in the case of interest calculated based upon clause (i), (ii) or (iv) of the definition of Index Rate, a 365/366 day year) and actual number of days elapsed. 

(c) Default Interest. Notwithstanding the rate of interest specified in Section 2.7(a), effective immediately upon
(i) the occurrence of any Event of Default under Sections 7.1(a) (with respect to principal due on either Maturity Date and scheduled interest payments only), 7.1(f) or 7.1(g) or (ii) the delivery of a notice by the Administrative Agent or
the Requisite Lenders to the Borrower declaring default interest to be payable during the continuance of any other Event of Default and, in each case, for as long as such Event of Default shall be continuing, the principal balance of all Obligations
(including any Obligation that bears interest by reference to the rate applicable to any other Obligation) then due and payable shall bear interest at a rate that is 2% per annum in excess of the interest rate applicable to such Obligations
from time to time, payable on demand or, in the absence of demand, on the date that would otherwise be applicable.

Conversion/Continuation. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower shall have the option to (i) convert at any time all or any part of the outstanding Loans from Index Rate Loans to LIBOR Loans,
(ii) convert any LIBOR Loan to an Index Rate Loan, subject to payment of LIBOR breakage costs in accordance with Section 2.10(d) if such conversion is made prior to the expiration of the LIBOR Period applicable thereto, or
(iii) continue all or any portion of any Loan as a LIBOR Loan upon the expiration of the applicable LIBOR Period, and the succeeding LIBOR Period of that continued Loan shall commence on the first day after the last day of the LIBOR Period of
the Loan to be continued. Any Loan or group of Loans having the same proposed LIBOR Period to be made or continued as, or converted into, a LIBOR Loan must be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of such
amount. Any such election must be made by 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to (1) the date of any proposed Loan which is to bear interest at LIBOR, (2) the end of each LIBOR Period with respect to any LIBOR
Loans to be continued as such, or (3) the date on which the Borrower wishes to convert any Index Rate Loan to a LIBOR Loan for a LIBOR Period designated by the Borrower in such election. If no election is received with respect to a LIBOR Loan
by 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the end of the LIBOR Period with respect thereto (or if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to continue such Loan as
a LIBOR Loan pursuant to clause (iii) above with the same duration LIBOR Period as the LIBOR Period applicable to the Loan being continued. If the Borrower requests a continuation of LIBOR Loans but fails to specify a LIBOR Period, the Borrower
shall be deemed to have elected to continue such Loan as a LIBOR Loan pursuant to clause (iii) above with the same duration LIBOR Period as the LIBOR Period applicable to the Loan being continued. If the Borrower requests a conversion to LIBOR
Loans but fails to specify a LIBOR Period, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to convert such Loan to a LIBOR Loan with a LIBOR Period of one month. In each case except in the case of a deemed election in accordance with the third
preceding sentence, the Borrower must make such election by notice to the Administrative Agent in writing, by telecopy, email or other electronic means or overnight courier and, in the case of any conversion or continuation, such election must be
made pursuant to a written notice (a “Notice of Conversion/Continuation”) in the form of Exhibit K.

Agent at the Collection Account, in immediately available funds without set-off, defense, recoupment or counterclaim. All payments in respect of any Obligations shall at all times be made to the Administrative Agent, whether or not a demand shall
have been made. The Administrative Agent will promptly cause all such payments received by it to be distributed to the Persons entitled thereto in accordance with Section 2.5, Section 2.6 or Section 2.9(d), as applicable. Payments
received by the Administrative Agent after 12:00 noon (New York City time) shall be deemed to be received on the next Business Day. 
 (b) Computation. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate and fees hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. 

(c) Payments on Business Days. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be
due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest or fees, as the case may be. 

(d) Application of Payments—No Event of Default. So long as no Event of Default under any of clauses (a) (including any
failure to pay all amounts hereunder upon acceleration as a result of any other Event of Default), (f) or (g) of Section 7.1 has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom, the Administrative Agent shall apply all payments
in respect of any Obligations in the following order: 
 (i) first, to pay any fees then due and payable under
Section 2.8(a) to the Administrative Agent; 
 (ii) second, to pay interest then due and payable in respect
of the Loan to the Lenders on a pro rata basis; 
 (iii) third, to pay principal then due and payable on the
Loans to the Lenders, on a pro rata basis; and 
 (iv) fourth, to pay any other Obligations then due and payable
to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, on a pro rata basis. 
 (e) Application of Payments After Event of Default.
After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under any of clauses (a) (including any failure to pay all amounts hereunder upon acceleration as a result of any other Event of Default), (f) or (g) of
Section 7.1, the Administrative Agent shall apply all payments in respect of any Secured Obligations (including amounts received by the Administrative Agent upon the exercise of remedies under the Collateral Documents) in the following order:


  
 53 









 (i) first, to pay Obligations in respect of any expenses, fees, indemnities
or other sums (excluding principal and interest) owing hereunder then due to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such; 
 (ii) second, to pay Obligations in respect of any expenses, fees, indemnities or other sums owing hereunder not referred to in clauses (iii) and (iv) below then due to the Lenders, on a pro rata
basis; 
 (iii) third, to pay on a pro rata basis interest then due and payable in respect of the Loans to the
Lenders; 
 (iv) fourth, to pay or prepay principal payments on the Loans to the Lenders and to pay amounts owing
with respect to the Secured Hedging Contracts, on a pro rata basis (with such pro rata allocation to be adjusted such that no payment made by a Guarantor who is not a Qualified ECP Guarantor, and no proceeds derived from Collateral in which a
security interest is granted by a Person who is not a Qualified ECP Guarantor, shall be applied to any amounts owing in respect of any Hedging Liability that is an Excluded Swap Obligation); and 

(v) fifth, to pay any other Secured Obligations then due and payable to the Secured Parties, on a pro rata basis.

 (f) Funding Defaults. Unless the Borrower has notified the Administrative Agent, prior to the date any payment is
required to be made by it to the Administrative Agent hereunder, that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has timely made such payment and may (but shall not be so required to), in reliance
thereon, make available a corresponding amount to the Person entitled thereto. If and to the extent that such payment was not in fact made to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds, then each Lender shall forthwith on demand repay
to the Administrative Agent the portion of such assumed payment that was made available to such Lender in immediately available funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such amount was made available
by the Administrative Agent to such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds (at the applicable Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect for the first Business Day and thereafter, at
the rate applicable to Index Rate Loans). A notice of the Administrative Agent to the Lenders with respect to any amount owing under this Section 2.9(f) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. 

Section 2.10 Certain Provisions Governing the Loan. 
 (a) Interest Rate Unascertainable, Inadequate or Unfair. In the event that (i) the Administrative Agent determines that adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable
interest rates by reference to which LIBOR is determined or (ii) the Requisite Lenders notify the Administrative Agent that LIBOR for any LIBOR Period will not adequately reflect the cost to the Lenders of making or maintaining the Loan for
such LIBOR Period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly so notify the Borrower and the Lenders, whereupon the obligation of each Lender to make or to continue LIBOR Loans shall be suspended as provided in clause (e) below until the
Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower that the Requisite Lenders have determined that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist. 
 (b) Increased Costs. If at any time any Lender shall determine that, as a result of the introduction of or any change after the date hereof in or in the interpretation of any law, treaty or
governmental rule, regulation or order or the compliance by such Lender with any guideline, request or directive after the date hereof from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not

having the force of law), there shall be any increase in the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding, guaranteeing or maintaining any portion of the Loan (except in respect of
Taxes), then the Borrower shall from time to time, within five (5) Business Days of a demand (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for such demand and a calculation of the amount thereof in reasonable detail)
by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such increased cost; provided that no Lender
shall be entitled to claim any such additional amount for amounts incurred more than six (6) months prior to the making of such demand or to claim any such additional amount if (i) a claim arises solely through circumstances peculiar to
such Lender and which do not affect commercial banks in the jurisdiction of organization of such Lender, (ii) the claim arises out of a voluntary relocation by such Lender or of its applicable lending office or (iii) such Lender is not
seeking similar compensation for such costs from its borrowers generally in similarly affected commercial loans of a similar size. Notwithstanding any herein to the contrary, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and all
requests, rules, guidelines and directives promulgated thereunder and any rules, guidelines and directives promulgated pursuant to Basel III, are deemed to have been introduced or adopted after the date hereof, regardless of the date enacted or
adopted. A certificate as to the amount of such increased cost, submitted to the Borrower (and the Administrative Agent) by such Lender shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. Each Lender shall promptly notify in
writing the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any event of which such Lender has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, which would entitle such Lender to compensation pursuant to this Section 2.10(b) and will designate a different
lending office if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the judgment of such Lender be otherwise disadvantageous to it. 

(c) Illegality. If any Lender determines that the introduction of, or any change in or in the interpretation of, any Requirement
of Law after the date of this Agreement shall make it unlawful, or any Governmental Authority shall assert that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make LIBOR Loans or to continue to fund or maintain LIBOR Loans, then,
on notice thereof and demand therefor by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, the obligation of such Lender to make or to continue LIBOR Loans shall be suspended as provided in clause (e) below until such Lender shall,
through the Administrative Agent, notify the Borrower that it has determined that it may lawfully make LIBOR Loans. 
 (d)
Breakage Costs. In addition to all amounts required to be paid by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.6, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender upon demand, for all losses, expenses and liabilities (including any loss or expense
incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender or the termination of any other financial arrangement it may have entered into to fund or maintain or support such Lender’s portion of the
Loan, but excluding Taxes) which that Lender may sustain (i) if for any reason any portion of the Loan is prepaid (including mandatorily pursuant to Section 2.6 or this Section 2.10) on a date which is not the last day of the
applicable LIBOR Period or (ii) as a consequence of any failure by a Borrower to repay any portion of the Loan when required by the terms hereof. The Lender making demand for such compensation shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent) concurrently with such demand a written statement as to such losses, expenses and liabilities, and this statement shall be conclusive as to the amount of compensation due to that Lender absent manifest error, and such
compensation shall be paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender. 
 (e) Effect of Suspension. If
the obligation of any Lender to make or to continue LIBOR Loans is suspended, (i) the obligation of such Lender to convert Index Rate Loans into LIBOR Loans shall be suspended, (ii) such Lender shall make an Index Rate Loan at any time
such Lender would otherwise be obligated to make a LIBOR Loan, (iii) the Borrower may revoke any pending Notice of 

  
 55 









 
Conversion/Continuation to make or continue any LIBOR Loan or to convert any Index Rate Loan into a LIBOR Loan and (iv) each LIBOR Loan of such Lender shall automatically and immediately
(or, in the case of any suspension pursuant to clause (a) above, on the last day of the current LIBOR Period thereof) be converted into an Index Rate Loan. 
 Section 2.11 Capital Adequacy. If at any time any Lender determines that (a) the adoption of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation
or order after the date of this Agreement regarding capital adequacy and liquidity requirements, (b) compliance with any such law, treaty, rule, regulation, or order or (c) compliance with any guideline or request or directive from any
central bank or other Governmental Authority or any accounting board or authority (whether or not a Governmental Authority) which is responsible for the establishment or interpretation of national or international accounting principles (in each
case, whether or not having the force of law) shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s (or any corporation controlling such Lender’s) capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder (other than with
respect to Taxes) to a level below that which such Lender or corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change, compliance or interpretation, then, upon demand from time to time by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the
Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall within five (5) Business Days of such demand pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender from time to time as specified by such Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate such
Lender for such reduction; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 2.11 for any amounts incurred more than six (6) months prior to the date of such demand or to claim any such
additional amount if (i) a claim arises solely through circumstances peculiar to such Lender and which do not affect commercial banks in the jurisdiction of organization of such Lender, (ii) the claim arises out of a voluntary relocation
by such Lender or of its applicable lending office or (iii) such Lender is not seeking similar compensation for such costs from its borrowers generally in similarly affected commercial loans of a similar size. Notwithstanding anything herein to
the contrary, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and all requests, rules, guidelines and directives promulgated thereunder and any rules, guidelines and directives promulgated pursuant to Basel III, are deemed to have
been introduced or adopted after the date hereof, regardless of the date enacted or adopted. A certificate as to such amounts submitted to the Borrower (and the Administrative Agent) by such Lender shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes
absent manifest error. Each Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any event of which such Lender or has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, which would entitle such Lender to compensation pursuant to this
Section 2.11 and will designate a different lending office if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to it. For the
avoidance of doubt, any interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51 by FASB (including Interpretation No. 46—Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities) shall constitute an adoption, change, request or directive, and any
implementation thereof shall be, subject to this Section 2.11. 
 Section 2.12 Taxes. 

(a) No Withholding, etc. Except as otherwise provided in the next sentence and Section 9.2, any and all payments by the
Obligors under each Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all Taxes, excluding (i) in the case of each Lender, each Participant and the Administrative Agent, Taxes measured by its net income and
franchise Taxes, in each case if imposed on it as a result of such Person being organized under the laws of the jurisdiction imposing such Taxes or doing business in such jurisdiction unrelated to the transactions contemplated by any Loan Document,
(ii) in the case of each Lender and each Participant, Taxes measured by its net income and franchise Taxes imposed on it by the jurisdiction in which its Lending Office is located or in which it booked its participation for tax accounting
purposes, (iii) in the case of each Lender, each Participant and the Administrative Agent, Taxes imposed on it as a result of its failure to comply with its 

  
 56 









 
obligations under Section 2.12(f), Section 2.12(g) or Section 9.2, (iv) in the case of each Lender, each Participant and the Administrative Agent (A) that is a party
hereto or Participant, as the case may be, on the Closing Date, United States federal withholding Taxes except to the extent imposed as a result of a change in applicable law, including income tax conventions, after the Closing Date and
(B) that becomes a party hereto or Participant, as the case may be, after the Closing Date, United States federal withholding Taxes except to the extent imposed as a result of a change in applicable law, including income tax conventions, after
the date of the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which it becomes a Lender or after the date such Person becomes a Participant, or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, (v) Taxes imposed as a result of such Person’s gross
negligence or willful misconduct, and (vi) any Taxes imposed under FATCA (all such non-excluded Taxes being hereinafter referred to as “Indemnified Taxes”). If any Indemnified Taxes shall be required by law to be deducted from
or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document to any Lender, or the Administrative Agent (1) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to
additional sums payable under this Section 2.12) such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (2) the Obligors shall make such
deductions, and (3) the Obligors shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxing authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law. 
 (b) Other Taxes. In addition, the Obligors agree to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies of the United States or any
political subdivision thereof or any applicable foreign jurisdiction which arise from any payment made under any Loan Document or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document (collectively,
“Other Taxes”) to the Administrative Agent for the account of the affected party. 
 (c) Tax Indemnity.
The Obligors will indemnify each Lender and the Administrative Agent for the full amount of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including any Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.12) paid by such Lender or the
Administrative Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including for penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, other than any liability, including for penalties, interest and expenses, arising from the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of the Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be. This indemnification shall be made to the Administrative Agent for account of the relevant Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, within
30 days from the date such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) makes written demand therefor (with a copy to the Administrative Agent if made by a Lender and accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for such taxation
and the calculation of the amount thereof in reasonable detail). 
 (d) Evidence of Payment. Within 30 days after the
date of any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, the Obligors will furnish to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof or other documentation reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent. 
 (e) Survival. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Obligors
hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the parties contained in this Section 2.12 shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations. 
 (f) Certain Withholding Tax Matters. 
 (i) If any Lender,
any Participant or the Administrative Agent is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document, it shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times


  
 57 









 
reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will
permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, each Lender, each Participant and the Administrative Agent if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such
other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender, Participant or the Administrative
Agent is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set
forth in Sections 2.12(f)(ii)(1), (ii)(2) and (ii)(4) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s, Participant’s or Administrative Agent’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject it to any
material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice its legal or commercial position. 
 (ii)
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, 
 (1) if any Lender, any Participant or the Administrative
Agent is a United States person (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code), it shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender, Participant or Administrative Agent
becomes a Lender, Participant or Administrative Agent under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender,
Participant or Administrative Agent is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax; 
 (2) if any Lender, any
Participant or the Administrative Agent is a Non-U.S. Person, it shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior
to the date on which such Lender, Participant or Administrative Agent becomes a Lender, Participant or Administrative Agent under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative
Agent), whichever of the following is applicable: 
 (A) in the case such Lender or Participant claiming the
benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal
withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal
withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty; 
 (B) executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI; 
 (C) in the case of
such Lender or Participant claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit N-1 to the effect that such Lender or
Participant is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the 

  
 58 









 
Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Internal
Revenue Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN; or 
 (D) to the extent such Lender, Participant or Administrative Agent 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 N-2 or Exhibit N-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if such Lender or Participant is a partnership
and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Lender or Participant are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Lender or Participant may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit N-4 on
behalf of each such direct and indirect partner; 
 (3) if any Lender, any Participant or the Administrative
Agent is a Non-U.S. Person, it shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Lender,
Participant or Administrative Agent becomes a Lender, Participant or Administrative Agent under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of any
other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the
Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and 
 (4) if
a payment made to a Lender, a Participant or the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document would be subject to withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender, Participant or Administrative Agent were to fail to comply with the applicable
reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Lender, Participant or the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the
Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine
that such Lender, Participant or Administrative Agent has complied with such Lender’s, Participant’s or Administrative Agent’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. 

Each Lender, each Participant and the Administrative Agent agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete
or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. 

(g) Mitigation. Any Lender claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall use its reasonable
efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and 

  
 59 









 
regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Lending Office if the making of such a change would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such additional amounts which would
be payable or may thereafter accrue and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender after consultation with the Borrower, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. 
 (h) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to
this Section 2.12 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.12), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section
with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such
refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 2.12(h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant
Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.12(h), in no event will the indemnified party be
required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 2.12(h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax
subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed
to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person. 

Section 2.13 Substitution of Lenders. 
 (a) In the event that any Lender (an “Affected Lender”) (i) makes a claim under Section 2.10(b) or Section 2.11, (ii) notifies the Borrower pursuant to
Section 2.10(c) that it becomes illegal for such Lender to continue to fund or make any LIBOR Loans or (iii) is entitled to (and does not waive) any increased payment attributable to Indemnified Taxes or makes a claim for payment pursuant
to Section 2.12(a) or 2.12(c), the Borrower may either pay in full the Obligations owed to such Affected Lender (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include payment of any amount pursuant to Section 2.5(d)) or substitute for such
Affected Lender any Lender or any Affiliate or Approved Fund of any Lender or any other Eligible Lender acceptable (which acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to the Administrative Agent (in each case, a “Substitute
Lender”). 
 (b) To substitute such Affected Lender or pay in full the Obligations owed to such Affected Lender, the
Borrower shall deliver a notice to the Administrative Agent and such Affected Lender. The effectiveness of such payment or substitution shall be subject to the delivery to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower (or, as may be applicable in the
case of a substitution, by the Substitute Lender) of (i) payment for the account of such Affected Lender, of, to the extent accrued through, and outstanding on, the effective date for such payment or substitution, all Obligations owing to such
Affected Lender (including those that will be owed because of such payment), and (ii) in the case of a substitution, (A) payment of the assignment fee set forth in Section 9.2(b) and (B) an assumption agreement in form and
substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent whereby the Substitute Lender shall, among other things, agree to be bound by the terms of the Loan Documents. 
 (c) Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in clause (b) above, the Administrative Agent shall record such substitution or payment in the Register, whereupon in the case of any substitution,
(i) the Affected Lender shall sell and be relieved of, and the Substitute Lender shall 

  
 60 









 
purchase and assume, all rights and claims of such Affected Lender under the Loan Documents, except that the Affected Lender shall retain such rights expressly providing that they survive the
repayment of the Obligations and the termination of the Commitments, (ii) the Substitute Lender shall become a “Lender” hereunder and (iii) the Affected Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment
and Acceptance to evidence such substitution and deliver any Note in its possession; provided, however, that the failure of any Affected Lender to execute any such Assignment and Acceptance or deliver any such Note shall not render
such sale and purchase (or the corresponding assignment) invalid. 
 Section 2.14 Incremental Term Facilities.

 (a) The Borrower may, at any time or from time to time after the Closing Date, on one or more occasions, by notice to the
Administrative Agent (whereupon the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the Lenders), request one or more additional tranches of term loans (the commitments thereof, the “Incremental Term Commitments”, the
loans thereunder, the “Incremental Term Loans”, and a Person making such loans, an “Incremental Term Lender”), and any such Incremental Term Loans shall be subject to the following: 

(i) no Default or Event of Default shall exist on the Incremental Facility Closing Date with respect to any Incremental
Amendment entered into in connection therewith (and after giving effect to such Incremental Term Loans made thereunder); 
 (ii) on the Incremental Facility Closing Date with respect to any Incremental Amendment (and after giving effect to such Incremental Term Loans made thereunder), the Borrower shall be in compliance with
Section 6.3; 
 (iii) immediately after giving effect to the issuance of such Incremental Term Loans and the
addition of additional Appraised Collateral, if any, to the Collateral by any Obligor on the Incremental Facility Closing Date, no Collateral Coverage Failure will have occured; 

(iv) such Incremental Term Loans shall not mature earlier than the earliest Maturity Date applicable to any Loan
outstanding on the applicable Incremental Facility Closing Date; 
 (v) such Incremental Term Loans shall have a
Weighted Average Life to Maturity no shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Loans outstanding on the applicable Incremental Facility Closing Date; 

(vi) subject to clauses (iv) and (v) above, the interest rates and the amortization schedule applicable to such
Incremental Term Loans shall be determined by the Borrower and the Incremental Term Lenders making such Incremental Term Loans; 
 (vii) all fees and expenses owing to the Administrative Agent and the Joint Lead Arrangers and Joint Bookrunners shall have been paid on or prior to the applicable Incremental Facility Closing Date;

 (viii) with respect to the Incremental Amendment for such Incremental Term Loans, if the all-in-yield (as
determined by the Borrower and Incremental Term Lenders making such Incremental Term Loans) with respect to such Incremental Term Loans (whether in the form of interest rate margins, original issue discount (equated to interest based on an assumed
four-year life to maturity), upfront fees (which shall be deemed to constitute like amount of original issue discount) or a LIBOR or Index Rate floor that exceeds 1.0% or 1.0%, respectively (with any such


  
 61 









 
excess amount being equated to interest margin based on an assumed four-year life to maturity for purposes of determining any increase (as described below) to the Applicable Margin for the
applicable Class of Loans), but excluding any arrangement, structuring or other fees payable in connection therewith) exceeds the all-in yield (after giving effect to (x) interest rate margins (including LIBOR and Index Rate floors, if any),
original issue discount (equated to interest based on an assumed four-year life to maturity) and upfront fees (which shall be deemed to constitute like amount of original issue discount) paid in connection with the initial primary syndication of the
Term Facility, but excluding any arrangement, structuring or other fees payable in connection therewith and (y) any amendments to the Applicable Margin in effect prior to the applicable Incremental Facility Closing Date) of any Class of Loans
made on the Closing Date and outstanding on the applicable Incremental Facility Closing Date by more than 50 basis points (the amount of such excess above 50 basis points being referred to herein as the “Incremental Yield
Differential”), then, upon the effectiveness of such Incremental Amendment, the Applicable Margin then in effect for such Class of Loans then outstanding shall be automatically increased by the Incremental Yield Differential;
provided that this clause (viii) shall apply to (x) both Tranche B1 Term Loans and Tranche B2 Term Loans if the maturity date of such Incremental Term Loans is later than the Tranche B2 Term Maturity Date and earlier than the
Tranche B1 Term Maturity Date and (x) only the Tranche B1 Term Loans if the maturity date of such Incremental Term Loans is the same as or later than the Tranche B1 Term Loan Maturity Date. 

(b) Except as set forth in Section 2.14(a), each tranche of Incremental Term Loans shall be treated substantially the same as the
outstanding Loans, including without limitation to be secured on a pari passu basis by the same Collateral (including any additional Collateral) and with respect to mandatory and voluntary prepayments (unless the applicable Incremental Term
Lenders agree to a less than pro rata share of such prepayments), the Guaranty, any other guarantees in respect of any Term Facility or any of the Obligations and the Collateral Documents. Each notice from the Borrower to the Administrative Agent
pursuant to Section 2.14(a) shall set forth the requested amount and proposed terms of the relevant Incremental Term Loans. 
 (c) Incremental Term Loans may be made by any existing Lender or any Additional Lender (provided that no Lender shall be obligated to make a portion of any Incremental Term Loan), in each case on the
terms permitted in this Section 2.14, and, to the extent not permitted in this Section 2.14, all terms and documentation with respect to any Incremental Term Loans which (i) are not inconsistent with the terms of the Loan Documents or
(ii) relate to provisions of a mechanical or administrative nature shall in each case be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower; provided that (i) the Administrative Agent shall have consented (such
consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and (ii) the Borrower shall have consented to any Lender or Additional Lender’s making such Incremental Term Loans if such consent would be required under Section 9.2
for an assignment of Loans to such Lender or Additional Lender. Commitments in respect of Incremental Term Loans shall become Commitments under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental Amendment”) to this Agreement
and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the Borrower, each Lender agreeing to provide such Commitment, if any, each Additional Lender, if any, and the Administrative Agent. The Incremental Amendment may, without the consent of any
other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to give effect to the provisions of this
Section 2.14. The effectiveness of any Incremental Amendment shall be (unless waived by the Additional Lenders) subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Article III (it being understood that all references to the date of any
Borrowing in Article III shall be deemed to refer to the Incremental Facility Closing Date) and such other conditions, in each case as the parties thereto shall agree (the effective date of any such Incremental Amendment, an “Incremental
Facility Closing Date”). 

  
 62 









 
The Borrower will use the proceeds of the Incremental Term Loans for any purpose not prohibited by this Agreement. No Lender shall be obligated to provide any Incremental Term Loans unless it so
agrees. 
 (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this Section 2.14 shall supersede any provisions in
Sections 9.1, 9.2 or 9.6 to the contrary and the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may amend Section 9.6 to implement any Incremental Amendment. 
 Section 2.15 Loan Modification Offers. 
 (a) The Borrower may, at any
time or from time to time after the Closing Date, on one or more occasions, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, make one or more offers (each, a “Loan Modification Offer”) to all the Lenders of one or more Classes of
Tranche B2 Term Loans on the same terms to each such Lender (each Class subject to such a Loan Modification Offer, a “Specified Class”) to make one or more Permitted Amendments pursuant to procedures reasonably specified by the
Administrative Agent and reasonably acceptable to the Borrower; provided that (i) any such offer shall be made by the Borrower to all Lenders with Tranche B2 Term Loans with a like maturity date (whether under one or more tranches) on a
pro rata basis (based on the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the applicable Loans), (ii) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of any such offer and (iii) any applicable Minimum
Extension Condition shall be satisfied unless waived by the Borrower. Such notice shall set forth (i) the terms and conditions of the requested Permitted Amendment and (ii) the date on which such Permitted Amendment is requested to become
effective (which shall not be less than five Business Days nor more than forty-five Business Days after the date of such offer, unless otherwise agreed to by the Administrative Agent); provided that, notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, (x) assignments and participations of Specified Classes shall be governed by the same or, at the Borrower’s discretion, more restrictive assignment and participation provisions than those set forth in Section 9.2, and
(y) no repayment of Specified Classes shall be permitted unless such repayment is accompanied by an at least pro rata repayment of all earlier maturing Loans (including previously extended Loans) (or all earlier maturing Loans (including
previously extended Loans) shall otherwise be or have been terminated and repaid in full). Permitted Amendments shall become effective only with respect to the Loans of the Lenders of the Specified Class that accept the applicable Loan Modification
Offer (such Lenders, the “Accepting Lenders”) and, in the case of any Accepting Lender, only with respect to such Lender’s Loans and Commitments of such Specified Class as to which such Lender’s acceptance has been made.
No Lender shall have any obligation to accept any Loan Modification Offer. 
 (b) A Permitted Amendment shall be effected
pursuant to an amendment to this Agreement (a “Loan Modification Agreement”) executed and delivered by the Borrower, each applicable Accepting Lender and the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each
Lender as to the effectiveness of each Loan Modification Agreement. Each Loan Modification Agreement may, without the consent of any Lender other than the applicable Accepting Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to give effect to the provisions of this Section 2.15, including any amendments necessary to treat the applicable Loans of the
Accepting Lenders as a new Class of loans hereunder; provided that (x) no Loan Modification Agreement may provide for (i) any Specified Class to be secured by any Collateral or other assets of any Obligor not also securing the Loans
and (ii) so long as any Loans are outstanding, any mandatory or voluntary prepayment provisions that do not also apply to the Loans on a pro rata basis, and (y) the terms and conditions of the applicable Loans of the Accepting Lenders
(excluding pricing, fees, rate floors and optional prepayment or redemption terms) shall be substantially identical to, or (taken as a whole) shall be no more favorable to the Accepting Lenders than those applicable to the Specified Class (except
for financial covenants or 

  
 63 









 
other covenants or provisions applicable only to periods after the latest Maturity Date at the time of such Loan Modification Offer, as may be agreed by the Borrower and the Accepting Lenders).

 (c) The Borrower may at its election specify as a condition (a “Minimum Extension Condition”) to
consummating any such Loan Modification Agreement that a minimum amount (to be determined and specified in the relevant Loan Modification Offer in the Borrower’s sole discretion and may be waived by the Borrower) of Loans of any or all

carry out the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. 
 (b) Foreign Qualification; “Air Carrier Status.”
Each Obligor is qualified to do business and in good standing in every jurisdiction where its assets are located and wherever necessary to carry out its business and operations, except in jurisdictions where the failure to be so qualified or in good

“citizen of the United States” within the meaning of Section 40102(a)(15) of Title 49, as interpreted by the United States Department of Transportation (a “United States Citizen”) and holds an air carrier operating
certificate issued pursuant to Chapter 447 of Title 49 for aircraft capable of carrying 10 or more individuals or 6,000 pounds or more of cargo. Each Obligor possesses all necessary certificates, franchises, licenses, permits, rights and concessions
and consents which are required for the conduct of its business and operations as currently conducted (including in the case of each Obligor engaged in operations as an “air carrier”, the operation of the routes flown by it), except where
the failure to so possess would not, in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (c) Subsidiaries. All of the
Subsidiaries of each Obligor, in each case, as of the Closing Date, are identified in Schedule 4.1(c). Schedule 4.1(c) correctly sets forth as of the Closing Date the equity and voting interest of Holdings in each of the
Subsidiaries identified therein. There are no limitations on the rights of the Borrower to vote the Capital Stock it owns of any Person listed on Schedule 4.1(c). Airways Assurance Limited, a Bermuda corporation, is a wholly-owned
Subsidiary of Holdings whose business is limited to securing insurance for the Obligors. US Airways Company Store, LLC, an Arizona limited liability company, is a wholly-owned Subsidiary of Holdings whose business is limited to operation of the US
Airways company store.

 (b) No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance by each Obligor of the Loan
Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents to which it is a party do not and will not (i) violate any provision of any law or any governmental rule or regulation applicable to any Obligor, the
certificate or articles of incorporation or bylaws of any Obligor, or any order, judgment or decree of any court or other agency of government binding on any Obligor, (ii) conflict with, result in a breach of or constitute (with due notice or
lapse of time or both) a default or require any payment under (A) any Loan Document or (B) any other Contractual Obligation of any Obligor, except that with respect to clause (B), for any such conflict, breach, default or requirement of
payment which could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (iii) result in or require the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any of the properties or assets of any Obligor (other than the Liens created under the
Collateral Documents) or (iv) require any approval of stockholders or any approval or consent of any Person under any Contractual Obligation of any Obligor, except for such approvals or consents (A) which will have been obtained on or
before the Closing Date and have been disclosed in writing to the Administrative Agent or (B) with respect to any Contractual Obligation, which if not obtained, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

(c) No Consents, Approvals, etc. The execution, delivery and performance by each Obligor of the Loan Documents to which it is a
party and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents to which it is a party do not and will not require (i) any registration with, consent or approval of, or notice to, or other action to, with or by, any federal,
state or other Governmental Authority or (ii) any registration with, consent or approval of, or material notice to, or other action to, with or by, any other Person, in each case, which is required to be obtained or made on or prior to the
Closing Date and which has not been obtained or made, other than, in each case, (A) the filing of financing statements under the UCC, (B) the filings and consents contemplated by the Collateral Documents, (C) routine reporting
obligations and (D) as is disclosed on Schedule 4.2(c).

except as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent transfer or other similar laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, including materiality, reasonableness, good faith
and fair dealing, and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

 67 









 
the Loan or perform its obligations under the Loan Documents. No event or occurrence which would constitute a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. 

Section 4.5 Title to Collateral; Liens. Each Obligor has (i) good and insurable fee title to (in the case of fee
interests in real property), (ii) valid, and in the case of leasehold interests in real property, insurable, leasehold interests in (in the case of leasehold interests in real or personal property) and (iii) good title to the other

suits, proceedings, arbitrations or investigations (whether or not purportedly on behalf of the Borrower or any other Obligor) at law or in equity or before or by any Governmental Authority pending or, to the knowledge of any Responsible Officer of
any Principal Obligor, threatened against or affecting (in either case, whether asserted or unasserted) any of the Obligors or any property of the Obligors that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Obligors, taken as
a whole, or on the validity and enforceability of the Loan Documents. 
 Section 4.7 Payment of Taxes. The Obligors
and each of their respective Subsidiaries have timely filed all material Tax returns and reports required to have been filed, and have paid or made adequate provision for payment of all material Taxes levied or imposed upon them or their properties

accordance with GAAP or (ii) where the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
 Section 4.8 Performance of Agreements; No Materially Adverse Agreements. 
 (a) No Default. No Obligor is in default in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any Contractual Obligations other than defaults which are not reasonably expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect, and no condition exists that, with the giving of notice or the lapse of time or both, would constitute such a default. 
 (b) No Adverse Agreements. No Obligor is a party to or is otherwise subject to any agreements or instruments or any charter or other internal restrictions which, individually or in the aggregate,
could reasonably be expected to impair the ability of the Obligors, taken as a whole, to perform their payment or other material obligations under the Loan Documents.

causes a violation of Regulation T, U or X of the Federal Reserve Board. For purposes of this Section 4.10, the term “Margin Stock” has the meaning assigned to that term in Regulation T, U or X of the Federal Reserve Board as in
effect from time to time.

by each Obligor or any of its ERISA Affiliates as of the Closing Date. Each Plan has been operated and administered in compliance with its terms and all applicable requirements of ERISA, the Code and other laws, except where the failure to do so

projections and pro forma financial information, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (e) No
Plan maintained by any Obligor or any of its ERISA Affiliates is underfunded (based on the present value of all accumulated benefit obligations thereunder) except to the extent that the aggregate amount of underfunding with respect to all such
Plans, when taken together with the projected contributions thereto reflected in the projections and pro forma financial information heretofore delivered to the Lenders, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

corrective action decree, order or agreement issued or entered into under any Environmental Law the failure to comply with which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Borrower or any other Officer of any Obligor contained in this Agreement, any other Loan Document or in any other document, certificate or written statement, taken as a whole, furnished to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders by or on behalf of

penalty or subject the Collateral to any material risk of loss of use or possession) and except for such noncompliance as could not in any case or in the aggregate reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. None of the Obligors shall
conduct any Hazardous Materials Activity at any Facility or at any other location in a manner that does not comply with Environmental Laws, except for such noncompliance as could not in any case or in the aggregate reasonably be expected to have a

 (b) The Requisite Lenders may request an environmental site assessment report for any of Borrower’s or any other
Obligor’s Facilities (i) from time to time, if and when the Requisite Lenders have reason to believe that circumstances or conditions are present with respect to such Facility that could form the basis for an Environmental
Claim or that a Release of Hazardous Materials has occurred at such Facility that, in either case, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and (ii) otherwise, not more than once during any twelve month period
for the purpose of determining whether there is reason to believe that such circumstances, conditions or Release of Hazardous Materials exist. Within sixty (60) days after receipt of such request, the Borrower will provide to the
Lenders, at Borrower’s expense, an environmental site assessment report prepared by an environmental consulting firm reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent evaluating the potential Environmental Claim or Release of Hazardous
Materials and (if reasonable to do so) estimating the cost of any required compliance, removal or remedial action in connection with the Environmental Claim or Release of Hazardous Materials. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause

any Obligor or any of its Subsidiaries defaults (other than defaults referred to in clause (a) of this Section 7.1) under one or more Capital Leases, agreements for Indebtedness (other than the Co-Branded Card Agreement) or Operating
Leases and such default relates to any Capital Leases or any other agreements for Indebtedness which have a principal amount that equals or exceeds (x) prior to the occurrence of the Merger, $50,000,000 and (y) if the Merger occurs,
$150,000,000, or any Operating Leases under which the aggregate net present value of the remaining basic rent payments (as determined in accordance with the formulas for calculating “net present value” under the applicable leases or for

 (d) any representation, warranty,
certification or other statement made by any Obligor in any Loan Document or in any statement or certificate at any time given by any Obligor in

being corrected, is not corrected within ten (10) Business Days after the earlier of (A) a Responsible Officer of a Principal Obligor obtaining knowledge of such default or (B) receipt by the Borrower of notice from the Administrative
Agent of such default; or 
 (e) any default by any Obligor in the performance of or compliance with any provision contained in
this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents required to be performed or complied with by it (other than any such provision referred to in any other clause of this Section 7.1), (i) with respect to a default under Section 6.3(c),
such default shall not have been remedied or waived within two (2) Business Days after the date of such default and (ii) with respect to any other default, such default shall not have been remedied or waived within sixty (60) days

dismissed or discharged; or (iii) a warrant of attachment, execution or similar process shall have been issued against all or any substantial part of the property of any Obligor; or 

(g) (i) any Obligor or its Subsidiaries shall have an order for relief entered with respect to it or commence a voluntary case under
the Bankruptcy Code or under any other applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law now or hereafter in effect, or shall consent to the entry of an order for relief in an involuntary case, or to the conversion of an involuntary case to a
voluntary case, under any such law, or shall consent to the appointment of or taking possession by a receiver, trustee or other custodian of all or a substantial part of its property; or (ii) any Obligor or its Subsidiaries shall make any
assignment for the benefit of creditors; or (iii) the board of directors of any Obligor or its Subsidiaries (or any committee thereof) shall adopt any resolution to approve any of the actions referred to in clauses (i) or (ii) above;

Permitted Encumbrances and, in each case, other than (x) as permitted by the terms of this Agreement and the Collateral Documents, (y) as a result of any action by the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party or (z) as a result of
the failure of the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party to take any action within its control), or (B) any Obligor shall so assert the invalidity or lack of enforceability, perfection or priority of any such Lien and, in the case of clause
(ii)(A) of this subsection (j), such default shall continue unremedied for a period of fifteen (15) consecutive days after the Borrower has received written notice thereof from the Administrative Agent; or 

(k) any Obligor shall fail to carry and maintain (or to cause to be carried and maintained) on or with respect to Aircraft or Engines

(excluding, however, any such suspension as a result of an order by an Aviation Authority due to a force majeure or any other extraordinary event similarly affecting other major U.S. commercial carriers). 

Section 7.2 Remedies. During the continuance of any Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may, and at the request of the
Requisite Lenders shall, declare the Loans, all interest thereon and all other amounts and Obligations payable under this Agreement to be immediately due and payable, whereupon the Loans, all such interest and all such amounts and Obligations shall
become and be immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or further notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower; provided, however, that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default
specified in Section 7.1(f) or Section 7.1(g), the Loans, all such interest and all such amounts and Obligations shall automatically become and be immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any notice of any kind,
all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower. In addition to the remedies set forth above, the Administrative Agent may exercise any remedies provided for by the Collateral Documents or any other remedies provided by applicable law.

 ARTICLE VIII 
 THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT 
 Section 8.1 Appointment, Powers and
Immunities. Each of the Lenders hereby appoints and authorizes Citicorp North America, Inc., to act as its administrative agent and collateral agent hereunder with such powers as are specifically delegated to the Administrative Agent by the
terms of this Agreement, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Without limiting the foregoing, each of the Lenders hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver each of the Collateral Documents.
The Administrative Agent (which term as used in this sentence and in Section 8.5 hereof and the first sentence of Section 8.6 hereof shall include reference to its affiliates and its own and its affiliates’ officers, directors,
employees and agents): 

  
 95 









 (a) shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and shall not by reason of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents be a trustee or fiduciary for any party hereto; 
 (b) shall not be responsible to the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties contained in this Agreement, or in any certificate or other document referred to or provided for in,
or received by any of them under, this Agreement, or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of any Loan Document or any other document referred to or provided for herein or therein or for any failure by
the Borrower or any other Person to perform any of its obligations hereunder or thereunder; 
 (c) shall not be required to
initiate or conduct any litigation or collection proceedings hereunder (and shall not commence an action or proceeding on behalf of any Lender without obtaining the consent of such Lender thereto); 

(d) shall not be responsible for any computation made in good faith under Section 6.3 hereof or for any other action taken or
omitted to be taken by it hereunder or under any other document or instrument referred to or provided for herein or therein or in connection herewith or therewith, except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct; and 

(e) shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to
liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or Requirement of Law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law. 

The Administrative Agent may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct (except for the gross
negligence or willful misconduct) of or for the supervision of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it in good faith. 
 Section 8.2 Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon any certification, notice or other communication (including, without
limitation, any thereof by telephone, telecopy, email, telegram or cable) reasonably believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, made or sent by or on behalf of the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of
legal counsel and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent, as the case may be. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from
acting, hereunder in accordance with instructions given by the Requisite Lenders (or such other percentage of the Lenders, as a whole or of a particular Class, as shall be expressly provided for in the Loan Documents), and such instructions and any
action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of the Lenders. 
 Section 8.3 Defaults. The
Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of a Default (other than a failure to make a payment of principal of or interest on the Loan) unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender or
the Borrower specifying such Default and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default.” In the event that the Administrative Agent receives a notice of a Default, the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the
Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall (subject to Section 8.7 hereof) take such action with respect to any such Default as shall be directed by the Requisite Lenders; provided that, unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have
received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interest of the Lenders except to the
extent that this 

  
 96 









 
Agreement expressly requires that such action be taken, or not be taken, only with the consent or upon the authorization of the Requisite Lenders or all of the Lenders. 

Section 8.4 Rights as a Lender. With respect to its Commitments and the Loans, if any, made by it, Citibank (and any
successor acting as Administrative Agent) in its capacity as a Lender hereunder shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not acting as the Administrative Agent, and the term
“Lender” shall, unless the context otherwise indicates, include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity. Citibank (and any successor acting as Administrative Agent) and its affiliates may (without having to account therefor to
any Lender) accept deposits from, lend money to, make investments in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with the Borrower as if it were not acting as the Administrative Agent, and Citibank (and any such successor)
and its affiliates may accept fees and other consideration from the Borrower for services in connection with this Agreement or otherwise without having to account for the same to the Lenders. 

Section 8.5 Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed under
Section 9.4 hereof, but without limiting the obligations of the Borrower under said Section 9.4) ratably in accordance with the aggregate of the aggregate principal amount of the Loans and aggregate Commitments held by the Lenders for any
and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever (including without limitation legal fees and expenses) that may be imposed on, incurred by or
asserted against the Administrative Agent arising out of or by reason of any investigation in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby (including, without limitation, the costs and expenses that the Borrower is obligated to pay under Section 9.4 hereof, but excluding, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, normal
administrative costs and expenses incident to the performance of its agency duties hereunder) or the enforcement of any of the terms hereof or thereof or of any such other documents, provided, that no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing
to the extent they arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party to be indemnified. The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 8.5 shall survive the termination of this Agreement, the repayment of the Loan, the
termination of the Commitments and the resignation or removal of the Administrative Agent. 
 Section 8.6 Non-Reliance
on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each of the Lenders agrees that it has, independently and without reliance on the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made
its own credit analysis of the Borrower and decision to enter into this Agreement and that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem
appropriate at the time, continue to make its own analysis and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the Notes. The Administrative Agent shall not be required to keep itself informed as to the performance or observance by
the Borrower of this Agreement and the Notes or any other document referred to or provided for herein or therein or to inspect the properties or books of the Borrower. Except for notices, reports and other documents and information expressly
required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition
or business of the Borrower that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its affiliates. 

Section 8.7 Failure to Act. Except for action expressly required of the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative
Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder or thereunder unless it shall receive further assurances to its satisfaction from 

  
 97 









 
the Lenders of their indemnification obligations under Section 8.5 hereof against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any
such action. 
 Section 8.8 Resignation or Removal of Administrative Agent. Subject to the appointment and
acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided below, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower, and the Administrative Agent may be removed at any time with or without cause
by the Requisite Lenders at no cost to the Borrower other than the payment of the fees of any successor Administrative Agent. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Requisite Lenders, in consultation with the Borrower, shall have the right to
appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a bank that has an office in New York, New York or London, England. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Requisite Lenders and shall have accepted such
appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or the Requisite Lenders’ removal of the retiring Administrative Agent, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the
Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a bank that has an office in New York, New York and that has a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as an Administrative Agent
hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent and shall notify the Lenders and
the Borrower thereof, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no removal of the Administrative Agent shall be effective until all amounts then due and owing
to the removed Administrative Agent shall be paid in full. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article VIII shall continue in effect for its benefit in
respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Administrative Agent. 
 Section 8.9
Release of Collateral or Guarantors. Each of the Lenders hereby consents to the release and hereby directs the Administrative Agent to, and the Administrative Agent hereby agrees: 

(a) to release any Subsidiary of Holdings from its guarantee of any Obligation of any Obligor if (i) all of the Capital Stock of
such Subsidiary owned by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries are sold or otherwise transferred in a Disposition not prohibited by Section 6.12 (including pursuant to a waiver or consent), to the extent that, after giving effect to such sale,
such Subsidiary would not be required to guarantee any Obligations pursuant to Section 5.8, (ii) such Subsidiary is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary pursuant to Section 5.17 or (iii) such Subsidiary becomes an Immaterial
Subsidiary; 
 (b) to release (or, in the case of clause (b)(iii) and (b)(iv) below, at the option of the Borrower, release or
subordinate) any Lien held by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties against (i) any Collateral that is sold by an Obligor in a sale permitted by the Loan Documents (including pursuant to a valid waiver or consent and
including the sale or contribution of Accounts constituting Collateral in connection with a Qualified Receivables Transaction), to the extent all Liens required to be granted in such Collateral pursuant to Section 5.8 after giving effect to
such sale have been granted and with respect to which the relevant Obligor complies with Section 2.6(b), as applicable, (ii) any Collateral to the extent the release of any Lien in such Collateral is permitted or required under any Loan
Document (including, without limitation, (x) the proviso in Section 5.8(b) and (y) Section 5.17), (iii) any Collateral (including any cash or Cash Equivalents on deposit in the Collateral Account) upon the written direction
of the Borrower so long as (x) no Default or Event of Default has occurred or is continuing and (y) after giving effect to such release and the exclusion of the Appraised Value of such Collateral or the amount of Accounts constituting such
Collateral, as applicable, from the calculation of 

  
 98 









 
the Collateral Coverage Ratio, there would not be a Collateral Coverage Failure and (iv) all of the Collateral and all Obligors, upon (A) termination of the Commitments,
(B) payment and satisfaction in full of all Loans and all other Obligations that the Administrative Agent has been notified in writing are then due and payable, (C) deposit of cash collateral with respect to all contingent Obligations as
to which claims have been asserted or are pending, in amounts and on terms and conditions and with parties satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and each Indemnitee that is owed such Obligations and (D) to the extent requested by the
Administrative Agent, receipt by the Secured Parties of mutual liability releases from the Obligors and the Administrative Agent, each in form and substance acceptable to the Administrative Agent; and 

(c) upon receipt of reasonable advance notice from the Borrower, to execute and deliver or file such documents and to perform other
actions reasonably necessary to release the guaranties and Liens when and as directed in this Section 8.9; provided, that the Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to release any guarantee or Lien pursuant to this Section 8.9
until its receipt from the Borrower of an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such release complies with this Section 8.9, and the Administrative Agent shall be fully protected in relying on such Officer’s Certificate in connection
therewith. 
 Section 8.10 Arrangers, Bookrunners, Syndication Agents and Documentation Agents. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Bookrunner, the Syndication Agent and the Documentation Agent named on the cover page of this Agreement shall not, in their capacities as such, have any duties or liabilities under this
Agreement. 
 ARTICLE IX 
 MISCELLANEOUS 
 Section 9.1 Amendments, Waivers, Etc. 

(a) Amendments and Waivers. No amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document nor
consent to any departure by any Obligor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Requisite Lenders (or the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Requisite Lenders), and then any such
waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, however, that: 
 (i) no amendment, modification, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby, do any of the following: 

(1) increase, extend or reinstate the Commitment of such Lender or subject such Lender to any additional obligations;

 (2) extend the scheduled final maturity of any of the Loans or change the amount of or extend the scheduled
date fixed for the payment of any principal of any Loan (it being understood that the waiver of any mandatory prepayment of any Loan pursuant to Section 2.6 shall not constitute an extension of any scheduled date fixed for the payment of any
principal of the Loan); 
 (3) decrease the rate of interest on any Loan (other than as a result of waiving the
applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates) or any fee, indemnity or other amount payable to such Lender or extend any date fixed for payment 

  
 99 









 
of such interest, indemnity or other amount or fees (it being understood that the waiver of any mandatory prepayment of any Loan pursuant to Section 2.6 shall not constitute an extension of
any date fixed for payment of such interest, indemnity or other amount or fees); 
 (4) amend the definition of
“Requisite Lenders” or this Section 9.1; 
 (5) release all or substantially all of the Collateral
or any Guarantor from its guarantee of any Obligation of the Borrower; and 
 (6) modify the application of
payments to the Loans under Section 2.9; 
 (ii) no amendment, modification, waiver or consent shall, unless
in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent, in addition to the Persons required above to take such action, affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; 

(iii) any amendment, waiver or modification of this Agreement that by its terms disproportionately affects the rights and
duties under this Agreement of the Lenders of a particular Class (but not the Lenders of any other Class) may only be effected by an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Requisite Class Lenders ; and 

(iv) any Loan Document may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified with the consent solely of the Administrative
Agent and the Obligors to (i) add assets (or categories of assets) to the Collateral, as contemplated by the definition of “Appraised Collateral”, (ii) to remove any asset or type or category of asset (including after-acquired
assets of that type or category) from the Collateral to the extent the release thereof is permitted by Section 8.9(b) or (iii) to make ministerial changes or corrections of manifest errors or omissions that do not directly adversely affect
any Lender. 
 Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Agreement may be amended in accordance with Section 2.14 or
Section 2.15. 
 (b) Execution of Amendments and Waivers by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may,
but shall have no obligation to, with the written concurrence of any Lender, execute amendments, modifications, waivers or consents on behalf of that Lender. Any waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific
purpose for which it was given. No notice to or demand on the Borrower in any case shall entitle the Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. 

(c) Non-Consenting Lenders. In connection with any proposed amendment, modification, waiver or termination requiring the consent
of all affected Lenders, if the consent of the Requisite Lenders is obtained, but the consent of other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is not obtained as described in this Section 9.1 being
referred to as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then, so long as the Lender that is acting (or an Affiliate of which is acting) as the Administrative Agent is not a Non-Consenting Lender, the Borrower shall have the right to: 

(i) propose to the Administrative Agent one or more Eligible Lenders to purchase all of the portion of the Loans (and
Commitments, if any) of such Non-Consenting Lender and, upon the consent of the Administrative Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) to any of such Eligible Lenders, such Eligible Lender shall have the right to


  
 100









 
purchase from such Non-Consenting Lender, and such Non-Consenting Lender agrees that it shall, upon the request of the Borrower or such Eligible Lender, sell and assign to such Eligible Lender,
all of the portion of the Loans (and Commitments, if any) of such Non-Consenting Lender for an amount equal to the principal balance of such portion of the Loans held by the Non-Consenting Lender and all accrued interest and fees with respect
thereto through the date of sale, such purchase and sale to be consummated pursuant to an executed Assignment and Acceptance; provided, however, that at the time of such replacement, such assignee consents to the proposed amendment,
modification, waiver or termination; provided, further, that the failure of any Non-Consenting Lender to execute any such Assignment and Acceptance shall not render such purchase and sale (or the corresponding assignment) invalid; or

 (ii) purchase from such Non-Consenting Lender, and such Non-Consenting Lender agrees that it shall sell and
assign to the Borrower upon the request of the Borrower, all of the portion of the Loans (and Commitments, if any) of such Non-Consenting Lender for an amount equal to (or, with the consent of such Non-Consenting Lender, less than) the principal
balance of such portion of the Loans held by the Non-Consenting Lender and all accrued interest and fees with respect thereto through the date of sale), such purchase and sale to be consummated pursuant to an executed Permitted Purchaser Assignment
and Acceptance; provided, that the failure of any Non-Consenting Lender to execute any such Permitted Purchaser Assignment and Acceptance shall not render such purchase and sale (or the corresponding assignment) invalid; provided,
further, that all such Loans (and, as applicable, Commitments and Notes in respect thereof) assigned to the Borrower shall be deemed to be immediately cancelled and terminated on the closing date specified in such Permitted Purchaser
Assignment and Acceptance.

(a) Right to Assign. Each Lender may sell, transfer, negotiate or assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations hereunder
(including all or a portion of its Commitments and its rights and obligations with respect to the Loan) to (i) any existing Lender, (ii) any Affiliate or Approved Fund of any existing Lender that, in each case, is otherwise an Eligible
Lender at the time of such assignment, (iii) any other Eligible Lender acceptable (which acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to the Administrative Agent and, as long as no Event of Default is continuing, the Borrower or
(iv) any Permitted Purchaser in accordance with Section 9.2(g); provided that, with respect to all assignments under this Section 9.2 (other than assignments to any Permitted Purchaser, which assignments shall be governed by
Section 9.2(g) below), (A) such assignments must be ratable among the obligations owing to and owed by such Lender with respect to applicable Class being assigned, (B) the aggregate outstanding principal amount (determined as of the
Closing Date of the applicable Assignment and Acceptance) of the Loan and Commitments subject to any such assignment shall be an integral multiple of $1,000,000, unless such assignment is made to an existing Lender or an Affiliate or Approved Fund
of any existing Lender, is of the assignor’s (together with its Affiliates and Approved Funds) entire interest in the Term Facility or is made with the prior consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, (C) the consent of the
Borrower shall not be required for any assignment by the Lenders party hereto on the Closing Date made in connection with the primary syndication of the Term Facility of their respective Commitments and Loans held on the Closing Date and
(D) 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 5 Business Days after having received notice thereof. 

(b) Procedure. The parties to each assignment made in reliance on clause (a) above (other than those described in clause
(d) or (e) below) shall deliver to the Administrative Agent (and the Administrative Agent shall keep a copy of all documents required to be delivered) the following: (i) an Assignment and Acceptance, executed by the assignor(s) and
the assignees(s), evidencing such 

  
 101









 
assignment; (ii) any existing Note subject to such assignment (or any affidavit of loss therefor acceptable to the Administrative Agent); (iii) any tax forms required to be delivered
pursuant to Section 2.12(f), and (iv) an assignment fee in the amount of $3,500; provided, that (1) if an assignment by a Lender is made to an Affiliate or an Approved Fund of such assigning Lender, then no assignment fee shall
be due in connection with such assignment, and (2) if an assignment by a Lender is made to an assignee that is not an Affiliate or Approved Fund of such assigning Lender, and concurrently to one or more Affiliates or Approved Funds of such
assignee, then only one assignment fee of $3,500 shall be due in connection with such assignment; provided, further, that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such assignment fee in the case of any
Assignment. Upon receipt of all the foregoing, and conditioned upon such receipt and upon the Administrative Agent consenting to such Assignment and Acceptance, from and after the Closing Date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance, the
Administrative Agent shall record or cause to be recorded in the Register the information contained in such Assignment and Acceptance. 
 (c) Effectiveness. Effective upon the entry of such record in the Register, (i) such assignee shall become a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations under the Loan
Documents have been assigned to such assignee pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender, (ii) any applicable Note shall be transferred to such assignee through such entry and (iii) the
assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations under this Agreement have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights (except for those surviving the termination of the Commitments and
the payment in full of the Obligations) and be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents, other than those relating to events or circumstances occurring prior to such assignment (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering
all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto except that each Lender agrees to remain bound by Article VIII, Section 9.5 and
Section 9.6); provided, however, that the Obligors shall not be obligated to pay any greater amount under Section 2.10(b) or Section 2.12 to such assignee than the Obligors would have been obligated to pay to the
assigning Lender as of the date of such assignment in such Sections prior to such assignment. 
 (d) Grant of Security
Interests. In addition to the other rights provided in this Section 9.2, each Lender may, without the consent of the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, grant a security interest in, or otherwise assign as collateral, any of its rights
under this Agreement, whether now owned or hereafter acquired (including rights to payments of principal or interest on any Loan), to (i) any federal reserve bank (pursuant to Regulation A of the Federal Reserve Board), without notice to the
Administrative Agent or (ii) any other Person as security for such Lender’s obligations; provided, however, that no such other Person, whether because of such grant or assignment or any foreclosure thereon (unless such
foreclosure is made through an assignment in accordance with clause (a) above), shall be entitled to any rights of such Lender hereunder and no such Lender shall be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder. 

(e) Participants and SPVs. In addition to the other rights provided in this Section 9.2, each Lender may, (x) with
notice to the Administrative Agent, grant to an SPV the option to make all or any part of any Loan that such Lender would otherwise be required to make hereunder (and the exercise of such option by such SPV and the making of such Loan pursuant
thereto shall satisfy the obligation of such Lender to make such Loan hereunder) and such SPV may assign to such Lender the right to receive payment with respect to any Obligation and (y) without notice to or consent from the Administrative
Agent or the Borrower, sell participations to one or more Persons in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents (including all its rights and obligations with respect to the Loan) (any such purchaser of a
participation being referred to as a “Participant”); provided, however, that, (1) whether as a result of any term of any Loan Document or of such grant or participation,


  
 102









 
(i) no such SPV or Participant shall have a commitment, or be deemed to have made an offer to commit, to make any Loan hereunder, and, except as provided in the applicable option agreement, none
shall be liable for any obligation of such Lender hereunder, (ii) such Lender’s rights and obligations, and the rights and obligations of the Obligors and the Secured Parties towards such Lender, under any Loan Document shall remain
unchanged and each other party hereto shall continue to deal solely with such Lender, which shall remain the holder of the Obligations in the Register, except that (A) each such Participant and SPV shall be entitled to the benefit of Sections
2.10, 2.11 and 2.12, but only to the extent such Participant or SPV delivers the tax forms pursuant to Section 2.12(f) and then only to the extent of any amount to which such Lender would be entitled in the absence of any such grant or
participation and (B) each such SPV may receive other payments that would otherwise be made to such Lender with respect to any Loan funded by such SPV to the extent provided in the applicable option agreement and set forth in a notice provided
to the Administrative Agent by such SPV and such Lender, provided, however, that in no case (including pursuant to clause (A) or (B) above) shall an SPV or Participant have the right to enforce any of the terms of any Loan
Document, (iii) the consent of such SPV or Participant shall not be required (either directly, as a restraint on such Lender’s ability to consent hereunder or otherwise) for any amendments, waivers or consents with respect to any Loan
Document or to exercise or refrain from exercising any powers or rights such Lender may have under or in respect of the Loan Documents (including the right to enforce or direct enforcement of the Obligations), except for those described in clauses
(2) and (3) of Section 9.1(a)(i) and, in the case of Participants, except for those described in clause (5) of Section 9.1(a)(i) and (2) such Lender maintains a register with respect to each such SPV or Participant in a
manner such that the Loans are in “registered form” as described in Treasury Regulations Section 5f.103-1(c). Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Lender agrees that none of the following Persons shall become a Participant hereunder:
(I) an airline, a commercial aircraft operator, an air freight forwarder or an entity principally engaged in the business of parcel transport by air, or (II) an Affiliate of any Person described in clause (I) above. No party hereto shall
institute (and the Borrower shall cause each other Obligor not to institute) against any SPV grantee of an option pursuant to this clause (e) any bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, liquidation or similar proceeding, prior to the date that
is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper of such SPV; provided, however, that each Lender having designated an SPV as such agrees to indemnify each Indemnitee against any Liability that may
be incurred by, or asserted against, such Indemnitee as a result of failing to institute such proceeding (including a failure to get reimbursed by such SPV for any such Liability). The agreement in the preceding sentence shall survive the
termination of the Commitments and the payment in full of the Obligations. 
 (f) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement
shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns; provided that except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no Obligor may assign or otherwise transfer any of its
rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (and any attempted assignment or transfer by an Obligor without such consent shall be null and void). 

(g) Assignments to Permitted Purchasers. Any Lender may, without the consent of any person (other than the assigning Lender), at
any time, assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations with respect to any Loans and/or and any Commitments hereunder to a Permitted Purchaser through open market purchases, in each case subject to the following limitations: 

(i) at the time of such assignment, such Permitted Purchaser shall identify itself as such to such assigning Lender;

 (ii) at the time of such assignment, such Permitted Purchaser shall (A) represent to the assigning Lender
that as of the date of such assignment, it is not in possession of any information not available to Lenders generally that would be material to a Lender’s decision to 

  
 103









 
sell its Loans or (B) disclose to such Lender that it cannot make the representation set forth in clause (A); 

(iii) before and after giving effect to such assignment, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing; 
 (iv) the purchase price for such assignment shall be as mutually agreed by such Lender and such
Permitted Purchaser and, without limiting the foregoing, may be below par; 
 (v) such Lender and such Permitted
Purchaser shall deliver to the Administrative Agent (and the Administrative Agent shall keep a copy of all such documents) (A) a Permitted Purchaser Assignment and Acceptance, executed by such Lender and such Permitted Purchaser, evidencing
such assignment; (B) any existing Note subject to such assignment (or any affidavit of loss therefor acceptable to the Administrative Agent); and (C) an assignment fee in the amount of $3,500; and 

(vi) all such Loans and Commitments (and any Notes in respect thereof) assigned to such Permitted Purchaser shall be
deemed to be immediately cancelled and terminated on the closing date specified in such Permitted Purchaser Assignment and Acceptance and, upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt of the items described in clause (v) above, and conditioned
upon such receipt, from and after the closing date specified in such Permitted Purchaser Assignment and Acceptance, the Administrative Agent shall record or cause to be recorded in the Register the information contained in such Permitted Purchaser
Assignment and Acceptance, including the cancellation and/or termination thereof. 
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this
Section 9.2(g) shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.5(c), Section 9.2 or Section 9.6 to the contrary. 
 Section 9.3 Costs and Expenses. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby shall be consummated, the Obligors agree to pay promptly (i) all reasonable costs and expenses incurred
by the Administrative Agent in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and all documents relating thereto (including reasonable legal fees and expenses (including FAA counsel)), (ii) all
reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with any consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications hereto (including reasonable legal fees and expenses (including FAA counsel)) and (iii) all costs and
expenses, including reasonable legal fees and expenses (including FAA counsel) incurred by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in enforcing any Obligations of, or in collecting any payments due from, the Obligors hereunder or under the other
Loan Documents, including any such costs and expenses incurred after the filing of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding with respect to any Obligor. 
 Section 9.4 Indemnities. 
 (a) Each Obligor agrees to indemnify, hold
harmless and defend the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each of their respective Related Persons (each such Person being an “Indemnitee”) from and against all Liabilities (including brokerage commissions, fees and other
compensation) that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Indemnitee in any matter relating to or arising out of, in connection with or as a result of (i) any Loan Document, any Obligation (or the repayment thereof), the
use or proposed use of the proceeds of any Loan, or any securities filing of, or with respect to, the Obligors, (ii) any commitment letter, proposal letter or term sheet with any Person or any Contractual Obligation, arrangement or
understanding with any broker, finder or consultant, in each case entered into by or on behalf of the Obligors or any Affiliate of any of them in 

  
 104









 
connection with any of the foregoing and any Contractual Obligation entered into in connection with any Platform, (iii) any actual or prospective investigation, litigation or other
proceeding, whether or not brought by any Indemnitee or any of its Related Persons, any Obligor, any holders of its securities or its creditors (and including reasonable attorneys’ fees in any case), whether or not any such Indemnitee or
Related Person is a party thereto, and whether or not based on any securities or commercial law or regulation or any other Requirement of Law or theory thereof, including common law, equity, contract, tort or otherwise, or (iv) any other act,
event or transaction related, contemplated in or attendant to any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Indemnified Matters”); provided, however, that the Obligors shall not have any liability under this
Section 9.4 to any Indemnitee with respect to any Indemnified Matter, and no Indemnitee shall have any liability with respect to any Indemnified Matter other than (to the extent otherwise liable), to the extent such liability has resulted
primarily from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment or order. Furthermore, each Obligor waives and agrees not to assert against any
Indemnitee any right of contribution with respect to any Liabilities that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any Related Person. Each of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders also agrees not to assert any claim
against the Administrative Agent, any Lender, the Borrower, any of their Affiliates, or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, attorneys and agents, on any theory of liability, for consequential, indirect, special or punitive
damages arising out of or otherwise relating to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Loans. 

(b) Without limiting the foregoing, “Indemnified Matters” includes all Environmental Claims, including those arising from, or
otherwise involving, any property of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any actual, alleged or prospective damage to property or natural resources or harm or injury alleged to have resulted from any Release of Hazardous Materials on, upon or
into such property or natural resource or any property on or contiguous to any real property of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, whether or not, with respect to any such Environmental Claims, any Indemnitee is a mortgagee pursuant to any
leasehold mortgage, a mortgagee in possession, the successor-in-interest to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or the owner, lessee or operator of any property of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries through any foreclosure action, in each
case except to the extent such Environmental Claims (i) are incurred solely following foreclosure by any Secured Party or following any Secured Party having become the successor-in-interest to any Obligor or (ii) are attributable to acts
of such Indemnitee. 
 Section 9.5 Right of Set-Off. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under
applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each of their respective
Affiliates are hereby authorized by the Obligors at any time or from time to time, with notice to the Obligors and to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special,
including, but not limited to, Indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by the Administrative Agent or that Lender to or for the credit or the account of
any Obligor against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of such Obligor to the Administrative Agent or that Lender under this Agreement, the Guaranty, the Notes and the other Loan Documents, including, but not limited to, all claims of
any nature or description arising out of or connected with this Agreement, the Guaranty, the Notes or any other Loan Document, irrespective of whether or not (i) the Administrative Agent or that Lender shall have made any demand hereunder or
(ii) the principal of or the interest on the Loans or any other amounts due hereunder shall have become due and payable pursuant to Section 7.2 and although said obligations and liabilities, or any of them, may be contingent or unmatured.


  
 105









 Section 9.6 Sharing of Payments, Etc. The Lenders hereby agree among themselves
that if any of them shall, whether by voluntary payment, by realization upon security, through the exercise of any right of set-off or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or cross action or by the enforcement of any right under the Loan Documents or
otherwise, or as adequate protection of a deposit treated as cash collateral under the Bankruptcy Code, receive payment or reduction of a proportion of the aggregate amount of principal, interest, fees and other amounts then due and owing to the
Lenders hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (collectively, the “Aggregate Amounts Due”) which is greater than the proportion received by any other Lender in respect of the Aggregate Amounts Due to such other Lender, then the
Lender receiving such proportionately greater payment shall (i) notify the Administrative Agent and each other Lender of the receipt of such payment and (ii) apply a portion of such payment to purchase participations equal to the portion
of the Aggregate Amounts Due to the other Lenders (which participations shall be deemed to have been purchased and payments made simultaneously upon the receipt by the seller of its portion of such payment, and which participations will be permitted
notwithstanding any prohibition to the contrary in Section 9.2(e)) so that all such recoveries of Aggregate Amounts Due shall be shared by all Lenders in proportion to the Aggregate Amounts Due to them, provided that if all or part of
such proportionately greater payment received by such purchasing Lender is thereafter recovered from such Lender upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or otherwise, those purchases or other payments shall be rescinded and the
purchase prices paid for such participations or other payments shall be returned to such purchasing Lender ratably to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. The Borrower expressly consents to the foregoing arrangement and agrees that any
holder of a participation so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, set-off or counterclaim with respect to any and all monies owing by the Borrower to that holder with respect thereto as fully as if that holder were owed
the amount of the participation held by that holder.

LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY THE AGENT PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE PLATFORM.
IN NO EVENT SHALL THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, ADVISORS OR REPRESENTATIVES (COLLECTIVELY, THE “AGENT PARTIES”) HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO THE
BORROWER, ANY LENDER OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DIRECT OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES (WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF
THE BORROWER’S OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S TRANSMISSION OF COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE INTERNET, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THE LIABILITY OF ANY AGENT PARTY IS FOUND IN A FINAL NON-APPEALABLE JUDGMENT BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION TO
HAVE RESULTED PRIMARILY FROM SUCH AGENT PARTY’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT. 
 (d) The Administrative Agent
agrees that the receipt of the Communications by the Administrative Agent at its e-mail address set forth above shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to the Administrative Agent for purposes hereof. Each of the Lenders agrees

 Section 9.8 No Waiver; Remedies. No failure on the part of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver
thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

interests that conflict with those of the Borrower, their stockholders and/or their affiliates. The Borrower agrees that nothing in the Loan Documents or otherwise related to the transactions
contemplated hereby will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between any Lender, on the one hand, and the Borrower, its stockholders or its affiliates, on the other hand. The parties
hereto acknowledge and agree that (i) the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder) are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Lenders, on the one
hand, and the Borrower and the other Obligors, on the other hand, and (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading thereto, (x) no Lender has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Borrower, its
stockholders or its affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (or the exercise of rights or remedies with respect thereto) or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Lender has advised, is currently advising or
will advise the Borrower, its stockholders or its affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to the Borrower except the obligations expressly set forth in the Loan Documents and (y) each Lender is acting solely as principal and not as
the agent or fiduciary of the Borrower, its management, stockholders, affiliates, creditors or any other Person. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that it has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate and
that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto. The Borrower agrees that it will not claim that any Lender has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or
owes a fiduciary or similar duty to the Borrower, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.
