operational changes (including changes to the definition of “Base Rate,” the definition of “Eurodollar Loan Period,” timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest and other administrative matters) that

specifically mentioned); and (c) all references to dates and times shall mean the date and time at the Administrative Agent’s notice address determined under Section 10.1, unless otherwise specifically stated. All calculations of
value of any Property, fundings of Loans and payments of Obligations shall be in Dollars and, unless the context otherwise requires, all determinations (including calculations of Financial Covenants) made from time to time under the Loan Documents
shall be made in light of the circumstances existing at such time. No provision of any Loan Documents shall be construed or interpreted to the disadvantage of any party hereto by reason of such party’s having, or being deemed to have, drafted,
structured, or dictated such provision. A Default or Event of Default, if one occurs, shall “exist”, “continue” or be “continuing” until such Default or Event of Default, as applicable, has been waived in writing in
accordance with Section 10.12. All terms used herein which are defined in Article 9 of the UCC and which are not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meanings herein as set forth therein.

For all purposes under the Loan Documents, in connection with any division or plan of division under Delaware law (or any comparable event under a different jurisdiction’s laws), (a) if any asset, right, obligation or liability of any Person
becomes the asset, right, obligation or liability of a different Person, then it shall be deemed to have been transferred from the original Person to the subsequent Person, and (b) if any new Person comes into existence, such new Person shall
be deemed to have been organized on the first date of its existence by the holders of its equity interests at such time. 
 
ARTICLE 2 
 THE LOANS 

Section 2.1    Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
each Lender with a Commitment agrees severally to make Loans in an amount not exceeding such Lender’s Commitment on any Business Day through the Commitment Termination Date; provided, that the undrawn portion thereof shall automatically
be cancelled at the close of business on the Commitment Termination Date. The Borrower may request as many as two (2) draws on the Commitment and the amount of each draw shall not be less than $50,000,000. Once repaid, Loans may not be
reborrowed. The Commitment shall automatically terminate when the Available Commitment equals zero. There shall be a dollar for dollar reduction of the Available Commitment equal to the amount of each Loan. 

Section 2.2    [Reserved]. 

Section 2.3    Manner of Borrowing and Disbursement of Loans. 

(a)    Choice of Interest Rate, etc. Any Loan (including any initial Loan made on the Closing Date) shall, at the
option of the Borrower, be made either as a Base Rate Loan or as a Eurodollar Loan; provided, however, that (i) if the Borrower fails to give the Administrative Agent written notice specifying whether a Eurodollar Loan is to be
repaid, continued or converted on a Payment Date, such Eurodollar Loan shall be converted to a Base Rate Loan on the Payment Date in accordance with Section 2.4(a)(iii) and (ii) the Borrower may not select a Eurodollar Loan if, at the time
of such Loan or at the time of the continuation of, or conversion to, a Eurodollar Loan pursuant to Section 2.3(c), an Event of Default exists unless the Required Lenders so consent in writing. Any notice given to the Administrative Agent in
connection with a requested Loan hereunder shall be given to the Administrative Agent prior to 12:00 noon (Charlotte, North Carolina time) in order for such Business Day to count toward the minimum number of Business Days required. 

(b)    Base Rate Loans. 

(i)    Initial and Subsequent Loans. The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent in the case of
Base Rate Loans irrevocable notice by telephone not later than 12:00 noon (Charlotte, North Carolina time) on the date of such Loan and shall immediately confirm any such telephone notice with a written Request for Loan; provided,
however, that the failure by the Borrower to confirm any notice by telephone with a written Request for Loan shall not invalidate any notice so given. 

(ii)    Repayments and Conversions. The Borrower may (A) subject to Section 2.6, at any
time without prior notice repay a Base Rate Loan or (B) upon at least three (3) Business Days irrevocable prior written notice to the Administrative Agent in the form of a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, convert all or a portion of any
Base Rate Loan to one or more Eurodollar Loans. Upon the date indicated by the Borrower, such Base Rate Loan shall be so repaid or converted.

 (iii)    Miscellaneous. Notwithstanding any term
or provision of this Agreement which may be construed to the contrary, each Base Rate Loan shall be in an amount of no less than $1,000,000 and in an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. 

(c)    Eurodollar Loans. 

(i)    Initial and Subsequent Loans. The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent in the case of
Eurodollar Loans irrevocable notice by telephone not later than 12:00 noon (Charlotte, North Carolina time) three (3) days prior to the date of such Eurodollar Loan and shall immediately confirm any such telephone notice with a written Request
for Loan; provided, however, that the failure by the Borrower to confirm any notice by telephone with a written Request for Loan shall not invalidate any notice so given. 

(ii)    Repayments, Continuations and Conversions. At least three (3) Business Days prior to
each Payment Date for a Eurodollar Loan, the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent written notice in the form of a Notice of Conversion/Continuation specifying whether all or a portion of such Eurodollar Loan is to be continued as one or more
new Eurodollar Loans and also specifying the new Eurodollar Loan Period applicable to each such new Eurodollar Loan (and subject to the provisions of this Agreement, upon such Payment Date, such Eurodollar Loan shall be so continued). Upon such
Payment Date, any Eurodollar Loan (or portion thereof) not so continued shall be converted to a Base Rate Loan or be repaid. 

(iii)    Miscellaneous. Notwithstanding any term or provision of this Agreement which may be
construed to the contrary, each Eurodollar Loan shall be in an amount of no less than $1,000,000 and in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, and at no time shall the aggregate number of all Eurodollar Loans then outstanding exceed
eight (8). 
 (d)    [Reserved]. 

(e)    Notification of Lenders. Upon receipt of a (i) Request for Loan or a telephone or telecopy request for
Loan or (ii) notice from the Borrower with respect to the prepayment of any outstanding Eurodollar Loan prior to the Payment Date for such Loan, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender by telephone or telecopy of the contents
thereof and the amount of each Lender’s portion of any such Loan. Each Lender shall, not later than 2:00 p.m. (Charlotte, North Carolina time) on the date specified for such Loan (under clause (i) above) in such notice, make
available to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office, or at such account as the Administrative Agent shall designate, the amount of such Lender’s portion of the Loan in immediately available funds. 

(f)    Disbursement. Prior to 4:00 p.m. (Charlotte, North Carolina time) on the date of a Loan hereunder, the
Administrative Agent shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Article 4, disburse the amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by the Lenders in like funds by transferring the amounts so made available by wire
transfer to a deposit account maintained by the Borrower with the Administrative Agent or, at the Borrower’s option by effecting a wire transfer of such amounts to another deposit account designated by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent
in a written Request for Loan. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to 1:00 p.m. (Charlotte, North Carolina time) on the date of any Loan that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent
such Lender’s ratable portion of such Loan, the Administrative Agent may 

  
 25 










Table of Contents




 
assume that such Lender has made or will make such portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Loan and the Administrative Agent may, in its sole and absolute discretion and
in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent such Lender shall not have so made such ratable portion available to the Administrative Agent by 1:00 p.m. (Charlotte, North
Carolina time) on the date of any Loan, such Lender agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower
until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, (x) for the first two (2) Business Days, at the Federal Funds Rate for such Business Days, and (y) thereafter, at the Base Rate. If such Lender shall repay to the
Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such Lender’s portion of the applicable Loan for purposes of this Agreement and if both such Lender and the Borrower shall pay and repay such corresponding
amount, the Administrative Agent shall promptly relend to the Borrower such corresponding amount. If such Lender does not repay such corresponding amount immediately upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent
shall notify the Borrower and the Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent. The failure of any Lender to fund its portion of any Loan shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder
to fund its respective portion of the Loan on the date of such borrowing, but no Lender shall be responsible for any such failure of any other Lender. 

(g)    Deemed Requests for Loan. Unless payment is otherwise timely made by the Borrower, the becoming due of any
Obligation shall be deemed irrevocably to be a Request for Loan on the due date of, and in an aggregate amount required to pay such Obligation, and the proceeds of a Loan that is a Base Rate Loan made pursuant thereto may be disbursed by way of
direct payment of the relevant Obligation. The Lenders shall have no obligation to the Borrower to honor any deemed Request for Loan under this Section 2.3(g) unless, subject to the funding requirements of the Lenders under
Section 2.3(b)(ii), all the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 have been satisfied, but, with the consent of the Lenders required under the last sentence of Section 4.2, may do so in their sole and absolute discretion and without
regard to the existence of, and without being deemed to have waived, any Default or Event of Default and without regard to the failure by the Borrower to satisfy any of the conditions set forth in Section 4.2. No further authorization,
direction or approval by the Borrower shall be required for any deemed Request for Loan under this Section 2.3(g). The Administrative Agent shall promptly provide to the Borrower written notice of any Loan made pursuant to this
Section 2.3(g). 
 Section 2.4    Interest. 

(a)    On Loans. Interest on the Loans, subject to Sections 2.4(b) and (c), shall be payable as follows: 

(i)    On Base Rate Loans. Interest on each Base Rate Loan shall be computed on the basis of a
hypothetical year of three hundred sixty (360) days for the actual number of days elapsed and shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each calendar quarter and on the Maturity Date (or the date of any earlier prepayment in full
of the Obligations). Interest shall accrue and be payable on each Base Rate Loan at the simple per annum interest rate equal to the sum of (A) the Base Rate and (B) the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans. 

(ii)    On Eurodollar Loans. Interest on each Eurodollar Loan shall be computed on the basis of a
hypothetical year of three hundred sixty (360) days for the actual number of days elapsed and shall be payable in arrears on (x) the Payment Date, and (y) if the Eurodollar Loan Period is greater than three (3) months, on the
last day of each three (3) month period ending prior to the Payment Date and on the Payment Date. 

  
 26 










Table of Contents




 
Interest on Eurodollar Loans shall also be payable on the Maturity Date (or the date of any earlier prepayment in full of the Obligations). Interest shall accrue and be payable on each Eurodollar
Loan at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (A) the Eurodollar Basis applicable to such Eurodollar Loan and (B) the Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Loans. 

(iii)    If No Notice of Selection of Interest Rate. If the Borrower fails to give the
Administrative Agent timely notice of its selection of the Base Rate or a Eurodollar Basis, or if for any reason a determination of a Eurodollar Basis for any Loan is not timely concluded, the Base Rate shall apply to such Loan. If the Borrower
fails to elect to continue any Eurodollar Loan prior to the last Payment Date applicable thereto in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.3, as applicable, the Base Rate shall apply to such Loan commencing on and after such Payment Date.

 (b)    Upon Default. During the existence of an Event of Default, interest on the Obligations shall, at the
written request of the Required Lenders, accrue at the Default Rate; provided, however, that the Default Rate shall automatically be deemed to have been invoked at all times when the Obligations have been accelerated or deemed
accelerated pursuant to Section 8.1(g) or Section 8.1(h). Interest accruing at the Default Rate shall be payable on demand and in any event on the Maturity Date (or the date of any earlier prepayment in full of the Obligations) and shall
accrue until the earliest to occur of (i) waiver of the applicable Event of Default in accordance with Section 10.12, (ii) agreement by the Required Lenders to rescind the charging of interest at the Default Rate, or (iii) payment in
full of the Obligations. The Lenders shall not be required to (A) accelerate the maturity of the Loans, (B) terminate the Commitments, or (C) exercise any other rights or remedies under the Loan Documents in order to charge interest
hereunder at the Default Rate. 
 (c)    Computation of Interest. In computing interest on any Loan, the date of
making the Loan shall be included and the date of payment shall be excluded; provided, however, that if a Loan is repaid on the date that it is made, one (1) day’s interest shall be due with respect to such Loan. 

Section 2.5    Fees. 

(a)    Fee Letters. The Borrower agrees to pay any and all fees that are set forth in any fee letter executed in
connection with this Agreement at the times specified therein. 
 (b)    Ticking Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay
to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages, from the Closing Date through the earlier of (i) the date on which the Available Commitment equals zero and (ii) the
Commitment Termination Date, a ticking fee (“Ticking Fee”) on the daily Available Commitment, at the per annum rate determined daily in accordance with Annex I. Such Ticking Fee shall be computed on the basis of a hypothetical year
of three hundred sixty (360) days for the actual number of days elapsed, shall be payable in arrears on the last day of each calendar quarter and, if then unpaid, on the Commitment Termination Date. 

(c)    Computation of Fees; Additional Terms Relating to Fees. In computing any fees payable under this
Section 2.5, the first day of the applicable period shall be included and the date of the payment shall be excluded. All fees payable under or in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be deemed fully earned when and
as they become due and payable and, once paid, shall be non-refundable, in whole or in part.

Section 2.6    Prepayment/Cancellation of Commitments. 

(a)    Any Base Rate Loan may be repaid in full or in part at any time, without premium, penalty or prior notice; and any
Eurodollar Loan may be prepaid without premium or penalty prior to the Payment Date, upon three (3) Business Days prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, provided, that the Borrower shall reimburse each Lender, to the extent
requested by such Lender, for any loss or reasonable out-of-pocket expense incurred by such Lender in connection with such prepayment, in accordance with
Section 2.10. Each notice of prepayment of any Eurodollar Loan shall be irrevocable, and each prepayment shall include the accrued interest on the amount so prepaid. Upon receipt of any notice of repayment or prepayment, the Administrative
Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the contents thereof by telephone or telecopy and of such Lender’s portion of the repayment or prepayment. All Loan prepayments shall be applied as directed by the Borrower at the time of such
prepayment (or, in the absence of such direction, in the direct order of maturity). 
 (b)    [Reserved]. 

(c)    The Borrower shall have the right, at any time, upon at least three (3) Business Days prior written notice to
the Administrative Agent, without premium or penalty, to cancel or reduce permanently all or a portion of the Commitment on a pro rata basis among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages; provided, that any such
partial reduction shall be made in an amount not less than (i) $25,000,000 or (ii) if the Available Commitment is less than $25,000,000 on the date of such partial reduction, the amount of the Available Commitment on such date. As of the date
of cancellation or reduction set forth in such notice, the Commitment shall be permanently canceled or reduced to the amount stated in the Borrower’s notice for all purposes herein, and the Borrower shall immediately pay to the Administrative
Agent for the account of the Lenders the Ticking Fee set forth in Section 2.5(b) accrued through the date of the reduction, with respect to the amount reduced, or cancellation. 

(d)    Upon at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice to Administrative Agent, the Borrower may
terminate (on a non-ratable basis) the unused amount of the Commitment of a Defaulting Lender, and in such event the provisions of Section 2.15 will apply to all amounts thereafter paid by the Borrower
for the account of any such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement (whether on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnity or other amounts); provided, that such termination will not be deemed to be a waiver or release of any claim that
the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender. 

Section 2.7    Repayment. The Loans shall be due and payable on the Maturity
Date. 
 Section 2.8    Notes; Loan Accounts. 

(a)    This Agreement evidences the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans and it is not necessary for a promissory
note to be issued, however, upon request by any Lender, the Loans may be evidenced by a Loan Note. 
 (b)    The
Administrative Agent shall open and maintain on its books in the name of the Borrower a loan account with respect to the Loans and interest thereon (the “Loan Account”). The Administrative Agent shall debit such Loan Account for the
principal amount of each Loan made by it on behalf of the Lenders, accrued interest thereon, and all other amounts which shall become due from the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement and shall credit the Loan Account for each payment which the
Borrower shall make in respect to the Obligations. The records of the Administrative Agent with respect to such Loan Account shall be conclusive evidence of the Loans and accrued interest thereon, absent manifest error.

 Section 2.9    Manner of
Payment. 
 (a)    When Payments Due. 

(i)    Each payment (including any prepayment) by the Borrower on account of the principal, interest, fees,
and any other amount owed to any member of the Lender Group under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be made not later than 1:00 p.m. (Charlotte, North Carolina time) on the date specified for payment under this Agreement or any other
Loan Document to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office, for the account of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, in Dollars in immediately available funds. Any payment received by the
Administrative Agent after 1:00 p.m. (Charlotte, North Carolina time) shall be deemed received on the next Business Day. In the case of a payment for the account of a Lender, the Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter distribute the amount so
received in like funds to such Lender. If the Administrative Agent shall not have received any payment from the Borrower as and when due, the Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders accordingly. 

(ii)    Except as provided in the definition of “Eurodollar Loan Period”, if any payment under
this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be specified to be made on a day which is not a Business Day, it shall be made on the next succeeding day which is a Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in computing
interest and fees, if any, in connection with such payment. 
 (b)    No Deduction. 

(i)    Any and all payments of principal and interest, fees, indemnity or expense reimbursements, and any
other amounts by any Credit Party hereunder or under any other Loan Documents (the “Credit Party Payments”) shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and free and clear of and without deduction for any and all current or future
taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings with respect to such Credit Party Payments and all interest, penalties or similar liabilities with respect thereto (excluding any Excluded Taxes, collectively, “Indemnified
Taxes”). If any Credit Party shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable to any member of the Lender Group hereunder or under any other Loan Document, (x) the sum payable shall be increased
by the amount (an “additional amount”) necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.9(b)(i)), such member of the Lender Group shall
receive an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (y) the applicable Credit Party shall make such deductions, and (z) the applicable Credit Party shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant
Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law. 
 (ii)    In addition, the Credit Parties
shall pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law any current or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies that arise from any payment made hereunder or from
the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document excluding,

however, such taxes, charges or levies imposed as a result of an assignment or participation (other than an assignment that occurs as a result of a request by the Borrower unless such Lender is
being replaced due to its status as a Defaulting Lender) (such taxes being “Other Taxes”). 

(iii)    The Credit Parties shall indemnify the members of the Lender Group for the full amount of
Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes with respect to Credit Party Payments paid by such Person, and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses)) arising therefrom or with respect
thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority; provided, that the Credit Parties shall not be required to indemnify the Administrative Agent or any
Lender for any amount pursuant to this Section 2.9(b) incurred more than six months prior to the date the Administrative Agent or such Lender notifies such Credit Party in writing of such amounts. A certificate setting forth and containing an
explanation in reasonable detail of the manner in which such amount shall have been determined and the amount of such payment or liability prepared by a member of the Lender Group or the Administrative Agent on its behalf, absent manifest error,
shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes. Such indemnification shall be made within thirty (30) days after the date the Administrative Agent or such member, as the case may be, makes written demand therefor. If, in the reasonable
determination of the Credit Parties, any such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes are incorrectly or illegally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority, the members of the Lender Group shall, at the Credit Parties’ expense, use
commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Credit Parties to recover such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, provided that no Lender Group member shall be required to do so if doing so would place such Lender Group member in a less
favorable net after-tax position than such Lender Group member would otherwise have been in. If any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes for which the Administrative Agent or any member of the Lender Group has
received indemnification from a Credit Party hereunder shall be finally determined to have been incorrectly or illegally asserted and are refunded to the Administrative Agent or such member, the Administrative Agent or such member, as the case may
be, shall promptly forward to the applicable Credit Party any such refunded amount (after deduction of any Indemnified Tax or Other Tax paid or payable by any member of the Lender Group as a result of such refund), not exceeding the increased amount
paid by the applicable Credit Party pursuant to this Section 2.9(b). 
 (iv)    Each Lender shall
severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that a Credit Party has not already indemnified the Administrative
Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of any Credit Party to do so), (ii) any taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to maintain a Participant Register as required by Section 10.5 and (iii) any
Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such taxes were
correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, as applicable, shall be conclusive
absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any
other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (iv).

 (v)    As soon as practicable after the date of any
payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by a Credit Party to the relevant Governmental Authority, the applicable Credit Party will deliver to the Administrative Agent, at its address, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such
Governmental Authority evidencing payment thereof. 
 (vi)    Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption
from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such
properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably
requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to
determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation
(other than such documentation set forth in Sections 2.9(b)(vi)(A)- (C) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or
expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing: 

(A)    On or prior to the Closing Date (or, in the case of any Lender that becomes a party to this
Agreement pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance, on or prior to the effective date of such Assignment and Acceptance), each Lender which is organized in a jurisdiction other than the United States or a political subdivision thereof (a
“Foreign Lender”) shall provide each of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower with either (A) two (2) properly executed originals of Form W-8ECI, Form
W-8BEN, and Form W-8BEN-E (or any successor forms) prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service or other documents satisfactory to
the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, certifying (1) as to such Foreign Lender’s status for purposes of determining exemption from United States withholding taxes with respect to all payments to be made to such
Foreign Lender hereunder and under any other Loan Documents or (2) that all payments to be made to such Foreign Lender hereunder and under any other Loan Documents are subject to such taxes at a rate reduced to zero by an applicable tax treaty,
or (B)(1) a certificate executed by such Lender certifying that such Lender is not a “bank” and that such Lender qualifies for the portfolio interest exemption under Section 881(c) of the Code, and (2) two (2) properly executed
originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8BEN-E (or any successor form), in each case, certifying such
Lender’s entitlement to an exemption from United States withholding tax with respect to payments of interest to be made hereunder or under any other Loan Documents. 

(B)    Any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or
prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable 

  
 31 










Table of Contents




 
request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup
withholding tax. Each such Lender agrees to provide the Administrative Agent and the Borrower with new forms prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service upon the expiration or obsolescence of any previously delivered form, or after the occurrence of
any event requiring a change in the most recent forms delivered by it to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower. 

(C)    In addition, if a payment made to a Lender or Administrative Agent (and, in each case, any
financial institution through which any payment is made subject to such recipient) under any Loan Document would be subject to United States federal withholding imposed by FATCA if such Lender or Administrative Agent were to fail to comply with the
applicable reporting requirements of FATCA, such Lender or Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower such forms or other documents as shall be prescribed by Applicable Law, if any, or as otherwise reasonably
requested, as may be necessary for the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, as applicable, to determine that such payment is exempt from withholding under FATCA. 

(vii)    The Credit Parties shall not be required to indemnify any Lender, or to pay any additional amounts
to such Lender pursuant to Section 2.9(b)(i) or (b)(iii) above to the extent that the obligation to withhold amounts with respect to United States Federal, state or local withholding tax existed on the date such Lender became a party to this
Agreement (or, in the case of an assignee, on the effective date of the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which such assignee became a Lender) or, with respect to payments to a new lending office, the date such Lender designated such new lending
office; provided, however, that this clause shall not apply to any Lender that became a Lender or new lending office that became a new lending office as a result of an assignment or designation made at the request of the Borrower; and
provided further, however, that this clause shall not apply to the extent the indemnity payment or additional amounts, if any, that any member of the Lender Group through a new lending office would be entitled to receive
(without regard to this clause) do not exceed the indemnity payment or additional amounts that the Person making the assignment or transfer to such member of the Lender Group making the designation of such new lending office would have been entitled
to receive in the absence of such assignment, transfer or designation. 
 (viii)    Nothing contained in
this Section 2.9(b) shall require any member of the Lender Group to make available to any Credit Party any of its tax returns (or any other information) that it deems confidential or proprietary. 

(ix)    If any member of the Lender Group determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that
it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.9(b) (including additional amounts paid pursuant to this Section 2.9(b)), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount
equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 2.9(b) with respect to the Indemnified Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all
out-of-pocket expenses (including any Indemnified Taxes) of such member of the Lender Group 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 2.9(b)(ix) (plus any penalties,
interest or other charges 

  
 32

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 2.9(b)(ix), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 2.9(b)(ix) 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 Indemnified Taxes that it
deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person. 

Section 2.10    Reimbursement. Whenever any Lender shall sustain or incur any
losses or out-of-pocket expenses as a result of (a) failure by the Borrower to borrow or continue any Eurodollar Loan, or convert any Base Rate Loan to a Eurodollar
Loan, in each case, after having given notice of its intention to do so in accordance with Section 2.3 (whether by reason of the election of the Borrower not to proceed or the non-fulfillment of any of
the conditions set forth in this Agreement), or (b) prepayment of any Eurodollar Loan in whole or in part for any reason other than at the end of the applicable Eurodollar Loan Period for such Eurodollar Loan or (c) failure by the Borrower
to prepay any Eurodollar Loan after giving notice of its intention to prepay such Eurodollar Loan, the Borrower agrees to pay to such Lender, promptly upon such Lender’s demand therefor, an amount sufficient to compensate such Lender for all
such losses and out-of-pocket expenses. Such Lender’s good faith determination of the amount of such losses and out-of-pocket expenses, absent manifest error, shall be binding and conclusive. Losses subject to reimbursement hereunder shall include, without limitation, expenses incurred by any Lender or any participant
of such Lender permitted hereunder in connection with the re-deployment of funds prepaid, repaid, not borrowed, or paid, as the case may be, over the remainder of the Eurodollar Loan Period for such prepaid
Loan. For purposes of calculating amounts payable to a Lender under this paragraph, each applicable Lender shall be deemed to have actually funded its relevant Eurodollar Loan through the purchase of a deposit bearing interest at the Eurodollar Rate
in an amount equal to the amount of that Eurodollar Loan and having a maturity and repricing characteristics comparable to the relevant Eurodollar Loan Period; provided, however, that each applicable Lender may fund each of its
Eurodollar Loans in any manner it sees fit, and the foregoing assumption shall be utilized only for the calculation of amounts payable under this Section. 

Section 2.11    Pro Rata Treatment. 

(a)    Loans. Each Loan under the Commitment shall be made pro rata by the Lenders on the basis of the respective
Commitment Percentages. 
 (b)    Payments. Each payment and prepayment of the Loans, and each payment of
interest on the Loans received from the Borrower, shall be made by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders pro rata on the basis of their respective Commitment Percentages (except (i) in cases when a Lender’s right to receive payments is
restricted pursuant to Section 2.15 and (ii) as permitted by Sections 2.6(d)). If any Lender shall obtain any payment (whether involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off or otherwise)
on account of the Loans in excess of its ratable share of Loans based on its Commitment Percentage, as applicable (or in violation of any restriction set forth in Section 2.15), such Lender shall forthwith purchase from the other Lenders such
participations in the Loans made by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter
recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase from each Lender shall be rescinded and such Lender shall repay

to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery without interest thereon unless the Lender obligated to repay such amount is required to pay interest. The Borrower
agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 2.11(b) may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of
set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. 

Section 2.12    Application of Payments. 

(a)    Prior to the exercise of remedies pursuant to Section 8.2, including acceleration of the Obligations, all
amounts received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower (other than payments specifically earmarked for application to certain principal, interest, fees or expenses hereunder (which shall be applied as earmarked) shall be distributed by the
Administrative Agent in the following order of priority: 
 FIRST, to the payment of out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) of the Administrative Agent with respect to enforcing the rights of the Lenders under the Loan Documents, in each case
to the extent required to be reimbursed by the Borrower pursuant to Section 10.2; 
 SECOND, to the payment of any fees owed to the
Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents; 
 THIRD, to the payment of all accrued fees and interest payable to the Lenders under this
Agreement; 
 FOURTH, to the payment of principal then due and payable on the Loans;  

FIFTH, to the payment of all other Obligations not otherwise referred to in this Section 2.12(a) then due and payable; and 

SIXTH, upon satisfaction in full of all Obligations, to the applicable Credit Party or such other Person who may be lawfully entitled thereto.

 (b)    Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other Loan Documents which may be construed to the contrary,
subsequent to the exercise of remedies pursuant to Section 8.2, including acceleration of the Obligations, payments and prepayments with respect to the Obligations made to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders, the Lender
Group, or any of them, or otherwise received by any member of the Lender Group shall be distributed in the following order of priority (subject to Section 2.11): 

FIRST, to the payment of out-of-pocket expenses (including
without limitation indemnification and reasonable attorneys’ fees) of the Administrative Agent with respect to enforcing the rights of the Lenders under the Loan Documents, in each case to the extent required to be reimbursed by the Borrower
pursuant to Section 10.2; 
 SECOND, to the payment of any fees owed to the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents; 

THIRD, to the payment of out-of-pocket expenses (including
without limitation indemnification and reasonable attorneys’ fees) of the Lenders with respect to enforcing their rights under the Loan Documents, in each case to the extent required to be reimbursed by the Borrower pursuant to
Section 10.2;

 FOURTH, to the payment of all accrued fees and interest payable to the Lenders under this
Agreement; 
 FIFTH, to the payment of principal on the Loans; 

SIXTH, to any other Obligations not otherwise referred to in this Section 2.12(b); and 

SEVENTH, upon satisfaction in full of all Obligations, to the applicable Credit Party or such other Person who may be lawfully entitled
thereto. 
 Section 2.13    All Obligations to Constitute One Obligation.
All Obligations shall constitute one general obligation of the Borrower. 

Section 2.14    Maximum Rate of Interest. The Borrower and the Lender Group
hereby agree and stipulate that the only charges imposed upon the Borrower for the use of money in connection with this Agreement are and shall be the specific interest and fees described in this Article 2 and in any other Loan Document.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower and the Lender Group further agree and stipulate that all closing fees, agency fees, syndication fees, facility fees, underwriting fees, default charges, late charges, funding or “breakage”
charges, increased cost charges, attorneys’ fees and reimbursement for costs and expenses paid by any member of the Lender Group to third parties or for damages incurred by the Lender Group, or any of them, are charges to compensate the Lender
Group for underwriting and administrative services and costs or losses performed or incurred, and to be performed and incurred, by the Lender Group in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and shall under no circumstances be
deemed to be charges for the use of money pursuant to any Applicable Law. In no event shall the amount of interest and other charges for the use of money payable under this Agreement exceed the maximum amounts permissible under any law that a court
of competent jurisdiction shall, in a final determination, deem applicable. The Borrower and the Lender Group, in executing and delivering this Agreement, intend legally to agree upon the rate or rates of interest and other charges for the use of
money and manner of payment stated within it; provided, however, that, anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if the amount of such interest and other charges for the use of money or manner of payment exceeds the
maximum amount allowable under Applicable Law, then, ipso facto as of the Closing Date, the Borrower is and shall be liable only for the payment of such maximum as allowed by law, and payment received from the Borrower in excess of
such legal maximum, whenever received, shall be applied to reduce the principal balance of the Loans to the extent of such excess. 
 
Section 2.15    Defaulting Lenders. 
 (a)    Defaulting Lender Adjustments.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law: 

(i)    Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with
respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of “Required Lenders” and in Section 10.12. 

(ii)    Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for
the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or 

  
 35 










Table of Contents




 
mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 2.12 or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.4 shall be applied at such time or
times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Event of
Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; third, if so determined by the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement; fourth, to the
payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this
Agreement; fifth, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender
as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and sixth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is
a payment of any Loans in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall
be applied solely to pay the Loans of all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans are held by the
Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitment Percentages without giving effect to sub-section (iv) below. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are
applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto. 

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

(b)    Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree in writing that a Lender is no
longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any
cash collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans to be held
pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with the Commitment Percentages, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on
behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute
a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

 ARTICLE 3 

GUARANTY 
 
Section 3.1    Guaranty. 
 (a)    Each Guarantor hereby, jointly and severally,
guarantees to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lender Group, the full and prompt payment of the Obligations, including, without limitation, any interest therein (including, without limitation, interest as provided in this Agreement,
accruing after the filing of a petition initiating any insolvency proceedings, whether or not such interest accrues or is recoverable against the Borrower after the filing of such petition for purposes of the Bankruptcy Code or is an allowed claim
in such proceeding), plus reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses (to the extent such fees and expenses are required to be reimbursed by the Borrower pursuant to Section 10.2) if the obligations represented by this Guaranty are collected
by law, through an attorney-at-law, or under advice therefrom. 

(b)    Regardless of whether any proposed guarantor or any other Person shall become in any other way responsible to the
Lender Group, or any of them, for or in respect of the Obligations or any part thereof, and regardless of whether or not any Person now or hereafter responsible to the Lender Group, or any of them, for the Obligations or any part thereof, whether
under this Guaranty or otherwise, shall cease to be so liable, each Guarantor hereby declares and agrees that this Guaranty shall be a joint and several obligation, shall be a continuing guaranty and shall be operative and binding until the
Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash and the Commitments shall have been terminated. 

(c)    Each Guarantor absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably waives any and all right to assert any defense (other
than the defense of payment in cash in full, to the extent of its obligations hereunder, or a defense that such Guarantor’s liability is limited as provided in Section 3.1(g)), set-off, counterclaim
or cross-claim of any nature whatsoever with respect to this Guaranty or the obligations of the Guarantors under this Guaranty or the obligations of any other Person or party (including, without limitation, the Borrower) relating to this Guaranty or
the obligations of any of the Guarantors under this Guaranty or otherwise with respect to the Obligations in any action or proceeding brought by the Administrative Agent or any other member of the Lender Group to collect the Obligations or any
portion thereof, or to enforce the obligations of any of the Guarantors under this Guaranty. 
 (d)    The Lender Group,
or any of them, may from time to time, without exonerating or releasing any Guarantor in any way under this Guaranty, (i) take such security or securities for the Obligations or any part thereof as they may deem proper, or (ii) release,
discharge, abandon or otherwise deal with or fail to deal with any Guarantor of the Obligations or any security or securities therefor or any part thereof now or hereafter held by the Lender Group, or any of them, or (iii) amend, modify,
increase, extend, accelerate or waive in any manner any of the provisions, terms, or conditions of the Loan Documents, all as they may consider expedient or appropriate in their sole and absolute discretion. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, or of Section 3.1(e), it is understood that the Lender Group, or any of them, may, without exonerating or releasing any Guarantor, give up, modify or abstain from perfecting or taking advantage of any security for the Obligations and
accept or make any compositions or arrangements, and realize upon any security for the Obligations when, and in such manner, and with or without notice, all as such Person may deem expedient. 

(e)    Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that no change in the nature or terms of the Obligations or any of the Loan
Documents, or other agreements, instruments or contracts evidencing, related to or attendant with the Obligations (including any novation), shall discharge all or any part of the 

  
 37 










Table of Contents




 
liabilities and obligations of such Guarantor pursuant to this Guaranty; it being the purpose and intent of the Guarantors and the Lender Group that the covenants, agreements and all liabilities
and obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are absolute, unconditional and irrevocable under any and all circumstances. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor agrees that until the performance of and payment in full in
cash of the Obligations (without possibility of recourse, whether by operation of law or otherwise) and the termination of the Commitments, such Guarantor’s undertakings hereunder shall not be released, in whole or in part, by any action or
thing which might, but for this paragraph of this Guaranty, be deemed a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or guarantor, or by reason of any waiver, omission of the Lender Group, or any of them, or their failure to proceed promptly or
otherwise, or by reason of any action taken or omitted by the Lender Group, or any of them, whether or not such action or failure to act varies or increases the risk of, or affects the rights or remedies of, such Guarantor or by reason of any
further dealings between the Borrower, on the one hand, and any member of the Lender Group, on the other hand, or any other guarantor or surety, and such Guarantor hereby expressly waives and surrenders any defense to its liability hereunder, or any
right of counterclaim or offset of any nature or description which it may have or may exist based upon, and shall be deemed to have consented to, any of the foregoing acts, omissions, things, agreements or waivers. 

(f)    The Lender Group, or any of them, may, without demand or notice of any kind upon or to any Guarantor, at any time
or from time to time when any amount shall be due and payable hereunder by any Guarantor, if the Borrower shall not have timely paid any of the Obligations, set-off and appropriate and apply to any portion of
the Obligations hereby guaranteed, and in such order of application as the Administrative Agent may from time to time elect in accordance with this Agreement, any deposits, property, balances, credit accounts or moneys of any Guarantor in the
possession of any member of the Lender Group or under their respective control for any purpose. If and to the extent that any Guarantor makes any payment to the Administrative Agent or any other Person pursuant to or in respect of this Guaranty, any
claim which such Guarantor may have against the Borrower by reason thereof shall be subject and subordinate to the prior payment in full in cash of the Obligations to the satisfaction of the Lender Group and the termination of the Commitments. 

(g)    The creation or existence from time to time of Obligations in excess of the amount committed to or outstanding on
the date of this Guaranty is hereby authorized, without notice to any Guarantor, and shall in no way impair or affect this Guaranty or the rights of the Lender Group herein. It is the intention of each Guarantor and the Administrative Agent that
each Guarantor’s obligations hereunder shall be, but not in excess of, the Maximum Guaranteed Amount (as herein defined). The “Maximum Guaranteed Amount” with respect to any Guarantor, shall mean the maximum amount which could
be paid by such Guarantor without rendering this Guaranty void or voidable as would otherwise be held or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in any action or proceeding involving any state or Federal bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws relating to the insolvency of debtors. 

(h)    Upon the bankruptcy or winding up or other distribution of assets of the Borrower, or of any surety or guarantor
(other than the applicable Guarantor) for any Obligations of the Borrower to the Lender Group, or any of them, the rights of the Administrative Agent against any Guarantor shall not be affected or impaired by the omission of any member of the Lender
Group to prove its claim, or to prove the full claim, as appropriate, against the Borrower, or any such other guarantor or surety, and the Administrative Agent may prove such claims as it sees fit and may refrain from proving any claim and in its
discretion may value as it sees fit or refrain from valuing any security held by it without in any way releasing, reducing or otherwise affecting the liability to the Lender Group of each of the Guarantors.

Table of Contents




 (i)    Each Guarantor hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably
expressly waives, except to the extent such waiver would be expressly prohibited by Applicable Law, the following: (i) notice of acceptance of this Guaranty, (ii) notice of the existence or creation of all or any of the Obligations,
(iii) presentment, demand, notice of dishonor, protest and all other notices whatsoever (other than notices expressly required hereunder or under any other Loan Document to which any Guarantor is a party), (iv) all diligence in collection or
protection of or realization upon the Obligations or any part thereof or any security for any of the Obligations, (v) all rights to enforce any remedy which the Lender Group, or any of them, may have against the Borrower, (vi) until the
Obligations shall have been paid in full in cash, and all Commitments have been terminated, all rights of subrogation, indemnification, contribution and reimbursement from the Borrower for amounts paid hereunder and any benefit of, or right to
participate in, any collateral or security now or hereinafter held by the Lender Group, or any of them, in respect of the Obligations, and (vii) any and all rights under any Applicable Law governing guaranties or sureties. If a claim is ever
made upon any member of the Lender Group for the repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received by such Person in payment of any of the Obligations and such Person repays all or part of such amount by reason of (A) any judgment, decree
or order of any court or administrative body having jurisdiction over such Person or any of its property, or (B) any settlement or compromise of any such claim effected by such Person with any such claimant, including the Borrower, then in such
event each Guarantor agrees that any such judgment, decree, order, settlement or compromise shall be binding upon such Guarantor, notwithstanding any revocation hereof or the cancellation of any promissory note or other instrument evidencing any of
the Obligations, and such Guarantor shall be and remain obligated to such Person hereunder for the amount so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been received by such Person. 

(j)    This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty of the Obligations and all liabilities to which it applies under the terms
hereof and shall be conclusively presumed to have been created in reliance hereon. No failure or delay by any member of the Lender Group in the exercise of any right, power, privilege or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or
partial exercise by the Administrative Agent of any right or remedy shall preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy and no course of dealing between any Guarantor and any member of the Lender Group shall
operate as a waiver thereof. No action by any member of the Lender Group permitted hereunder shall in any way impair or affect this Guaranty. For the purpose of this Guaranty, the Obligations shall include, without limitation, all Obligations of the
Borrower to the Lender Group, notwithstanding any right or power of any third party, individually or in the name of the Borrower and the Lender Group, or any of them, to assert any claim or defense as to the invalidity or unenforceability of any
such Obligation, and no such claim or defense shall impair or affect the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder. 

(k)    This is a guaranty of payment and not of collection. In the event the Administrative Agent makes a demand upon any
Guarantor in accordance with the terms of this Guaranty, such Guarantor shall be held and bound to the Administrative Agent directly as debtor in respect of the payment of the amounts hereby guaranteed. 

(l)    Each Guarantor is a direct or indirect wholly-owned Domestic Subsidiary of the Borrower. Each Guarantor expressly
represents and acknowledges that any financial accommodations by the Lender Group to the Borrower, including, without limitation, the extension of credit, are and will be of direct interest, benefit and advantage to such Guarantor. 

(m)    The payment obligation of a Guarantor to any other Guarantor under any Applicable Law regarding contribution rights
among co-obligors or otherwise shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of the obligations of such Guarantor under the


  
 39 










Table of Contents




 
other provisions of this Guaranty, and such Guarantor shall not exercise any right or remedy with respect to such rights until payment and satisfaction in full of all such obligations. 

Section 3.2    Special Provisions Applicable to New Guarantors. Pursuant to
Section 6.10 of this Agreement, any new Domestic Subsidiary (other than Excluded Subsidiaries and Immaterial Subsidiaries) of the Borrower may be required to enter into this Agreement as a Guarantor by executing and delivering to the
Administrative Agent a Joinder Supplement. Upon the execution and delivery of a Joinder Supplement by such new Domestic Subsidiary, such new Domestic Subsidiary shall become a Guarantor and Credit Party hereunder with the same force and effect as if
originally named as a Guarantor or Credit Party herein. The execution and delivery of any Joinder Supplement (or any joinder to any other applicable Loan Document) adding an additional Guarantor as a party to this Agreement (or any other applicable
Loan Document) shall not require the consent of any other party hereto. The rights and obligations of each party hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Guarantor hereunder.

to the Credit Parties and their Subsidiaries furnished by or at the direction of the Credit Parties to the Lender Group were, taken as a whole, at the time furnished, complete and correct in all material respects. No document furnished or written
statement made to the Lender Group by or at the direction of any Credit Party in connection with the negotiation, preparation or execution of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents contains or will contain any untrue statement of a fact
material to the creditworthiness of the Credit Parties taken as a whole or omits or will omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein not materially misleading as of the time when made or delivered. With
respect to projections, estimates and forecasts given to the Lender Group, such projections, estimates and forecasts are based on the Credit Parties’ good faith assessment of the future of the business at the time made. The Credit Parties had a

or “margin stock” as defined in Regulations T, U and X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (herein called “Margin Stock”). None of the proceeds of the Loans will be used, directly or indirectly, for the
purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock or for the purpose of reducing or retiring any Indebtedness which was originally incurred to purchase or carry Margin Stock or for any other purpose which might constitute this transaction a
“purpose credit” within the meaning of said Regulations T, U and X. None of any Credit Party or any bank acting on its behalf has taken or will take any action which might cause this Agreement or any other Loan Documents to violate
Regulation T, U or X or any other regulation of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or to violate the SEA, in each case as now in effect or as the same may hereafter be in effect. If so requested by the Administrative Agent, the
Credit Parties will furnish the Administrative Agent with (i) a statement or statements in conformity with the requirements of Federal Reserve Form U-1 referred to in Regulation U of said Board of

including, without limitation, after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents and the rights of subrogation and contribution among the Credit Parties. 

(s)    [Reserved] 

(t)    Environmental Matters. 

(i)    Each Credit Party is in compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws except where the failure
to so comply could not reasonably be expected to have a Materially Adverse Effect. There is no violation of any Environmental Law or contamination which could interfere with the continued operation of any of the Properties which in each case above
could reasonably be expected to have a Materially Adverse Effect. 
 (ii)    As of the Closing Date,
except as set forth on Schedule 5.1(t), no Credit Party has received from any Governmental Authority any complaint, or notice of violation, alleged violation, investigation or advisory action or notice of potential liability regarding matters
of environmental protection or permit compliance under applicable Environmental Laws or Mining Laws with regard to the Properties, nor is any Credit Party aware that any such notice is pending, including, without limitation, any such notice in
respect of the reclamation, or alleged need for reclamation, of any current or former Property, except, in each case, which could not reasonably be expected to have a Materially Adverse Effect. 

(iii)    No Credit Party or any Subsidiary is barred from receiving surface or underground Environmental or
Mining Permits pursuant to the permit block provisions of Mining Laws except in each case as could not reasonably be expected to have a Materially Adverse Effect.

regulations promulgated by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration of the United States Department of Labor and the Mine Safety and Health Administration of the United States Department of Labor “MSHA”), except where such
failure to comply could not reasonably be expected to result in a Materially Adverse Effect. 
 (v)    Investment
Company Act. No Credit Party is required to register under the provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and neither the entering into or performance by the Credit Parties of this Agreement nor the issuance of any Loan Notes

procedures designed to ensure compliance by each Credit Party, its Subsidiaries and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents with Anti-Corruption Laws and applicable Sanctions, and each Credit Party, its Subsidiaries and their
respective officers and employees

Party, any Subsidiary of any Credit Party or, to the knowledge of any Credit Party or any Subsidiary of a Credit Party, any of their respective directors, officers, employees or affiliates, or (ii) to the knowledge of any Credit Party, any
agent of any Credit Party or any Subsidiary of any Credit Party that will act in any capacity in connection with or benefit from the credit facility established hereby, in each case, is a Sanctioned Person. No Loan, use of proceeds thereof or other
transaction contemplated by this Agreement will violate Anti-Corruption Laws or applicable Sanctions.

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT 

Section 9.1    Appointment of the Administrative Agent. Each Lender
irrevocably appoints Truist Bank as the Administrative Agent and authorizes it to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together
with all such actions and powers that are reasonably incidental thereto. The Administrative Agent may perform any of its duties hereunder or under the other Loan Documents by or through any one or more
sub-agents or attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent or attorney-in-fact may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related
Parties. The exculpatory provisions set forth in this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent, attorney-in-fact or Related
Party and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as the Administrative Agent. 

Section 9.2    Nature of Duties of the Administrative Agent. The
Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject
to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary
powers, except those discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be
necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 10.12), provided that the Administrative Agent 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 Applicable Law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under the Bankruptcy Code or any other bankruptcy law or that may effect a
forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of the Bankruptcy Code or any other bankruptcy law; and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not have any
duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The
Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it, its sub-agents or its attorneys-in-fact with
the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 10.12) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful
misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents or
attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until
written notice thereof (which notice shall include an express reference to such event being a “Default” or “Event of Default” hereunder) is given to the 

  
 57 










Table of Contents




 
Administrative Agent by the Borrower or any Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or
representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of
any of the covenants, agreements, or other terms and conditions set forth in any Loan Document, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the
satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article 4 or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel
(including counsel for the Borrower) concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. 

Section 9.3    Lack of Reliance on the Administrative Agent. Each of the
Lenders acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into
this Agreement. Each of the Lenders also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, continue to make its
own decisions in taking or not taking any action under or based on this Agreement, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. 

Section 9.4    Certain Rights of the Administrative Agent. If the
Administrative Agent shall request instructions from the Required Lenders with respect to any action or actions (including the failure to act) in connection with this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or
taking such act unless and until it shall have received instructions from such Lenders, and the Administrative Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right
of action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent as a result of the Administrative Agent acting or refraining from acting hereunder in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders where required by the terms of this Agreement. 

Section 9.5    Reliance by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent
shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, posting or other distribution)
believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent may also rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person and shall not
incur any liability for relying thereon. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for the Borrower), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or
not taken by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts. 

Section 9.6    The Administrative Agent in its Individual Capacity. The bank
serving as the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and any other Loan Document in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise or refrain from exercising the same as though it were not the
Administrative Agent; and the terms “Lenders”, “Required Lenders” or any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity. The bank acting as the
Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Borrower as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder. 

Section 9.7    Successor Administrative Agent. 

  
 58 










Table of Contents




 (a)    The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving notice
thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent, subject to approval by the Borrower provided that no Default or Event of Default shall exist
at such time. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed, and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of resignation, then the retiring
Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States or any state thereof or a bank which maintains an office in the United
States. 
 (b)    Upon the acceptance of its appointment as the Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, 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 the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and
obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. If, within forty-five (45) days after written notice is given of the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation under this Section, no successor Administrative Agent shall
have been appointed and shall have accepted such appointment, then on such 45th day (i) the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall become effective, (ii) the retiring
Administrative Agent shall thereupon be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents and (iii) the Required Lenders shall thereafter perform all duties of the retiring Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents until
such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided above. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article shall continue in effect for the benefit of such
retiring or removed Administrative Agent and its representatives and agents in respect of any actions taken or not taken by any of them while it was serving as the Administrative Agent. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative
Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. 
 
Section 9.8    Withholding Tax. To the extent required by any Applicable Law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any interest payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding tax.
If the Internal Revenue Service or any authority of the United States or any other jurisdiction asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender (because the
appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstances that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective, or for any
other reason), such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent that the Administrative Agent has not already been reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so) fully for all amounts
paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as tax or otherwise, including penalties and interest, together with all expenses incurred, including legal expenses, allocated staff costs and any out of pocket expenses. 

Section 9.9    The Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. 

(a)    In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement,
adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Credit Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether any Obligations shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of
whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise: 

(i)    to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in
respect of the Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to 

  
 59 










Table of Contents




 
file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Article 6 and 10.2) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and 

(ii)    to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and
to distribute the same. 
 (b)    Any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar
official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, if the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the
Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Article 6 and 10.2. 

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

Section 9.10    Indemnification. The Lenders shall indemnify (to the extent
not reimbursed by the Borrower) and hold harmless the Administrative Agent and each of its employees, representatives, officers, directors, agents, consultants, counsel, accountants, and advisors (each an “Administrative Agent Indemnified
Person”) pro rata in accordance with their Commitment Percentages from and against any and all claims, liabilities, investigations, losses, damages, actions, demands, penalties, judgments, suits, investigations, costs, expenses (including
fees and expenses of experts, agents, consultants and counsel) and disbursements, in each case, of any kind or nature (whether or not an Administrative Agent Indemnified Person or any such Lender is a party to any such action, suit or investigation)
whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against an Administrative Agent Indemnified Person resulting from any breach or alleged breach by the Credit Parties of any representation or warranty made hereunder, or otherwise in any
way relating to or arising out of the Commitments, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any other document contemplated by this Agreement or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any other Loan
Document, or any other document contemplated by this Agreement, the making, administration or enforcement of the Loan Documents and the Loans or any transaction contemplated hereby or any related matters unless, with respect to any of the above,
such Administrative Agent Indemnified Person is determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have acted or failed to act with gross negligence or willful misconduct.
This Section 9.10 is for the benefit of each Administrative Agent Indemnified Person and shall not in any way limit the obligations of the Credit Parties under Article 6. The provisions of this Section 9.10 shall survive the termination of
this Agreement. 
 Section 9.11    Authorization to Execute Other Loan
Documents. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to execute on behalf of all Lenders all Loan Documents other than this Agreement. 

Section 9.12    Guaranty Matters.

 (a)    Subject to Section 6.10(b), a Guarantor shall automatically
be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents upon the consummation of any transaction permitted by this Agreement as a result of which such Guarantor ceases to be a Subsidiary.

Administrative Agent’s authority to release any Credit Party from its obligations hereunder or under the applicable Loan Documents pursuant to this Section. In each case as specified in this Section, the Administrative Agent is authorized, at
the Borrower’s expense, to execute and deliver to the applicable Credit Party such documents as such Credit Party may reasonably request to release such Credit Party from its obligations under the applicable Loan Documents (including any
Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty), in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section. Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this Section 9.12 shall be without recourse to or warranty
by the Administrative Agent. 
 Section 9.13    [Reserved]. 

Section 9.14    Right to Enforce Guarantee. Anything contained in any of the
Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Lender hereby agree that no Lender shall have any right individually to enforce the Loan Documents, it being understood and agreed that all powers,
rights and remedies hereunder and under the Loan Documents may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent.

 (iii)    The Platform is provided “as is” and “as
available.” Neither of the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors or representatives warrant the accuracy, adequacy, or completeness of the Platform and each expressly disclaims liability for errors
or omissions in the Platform. No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including 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 Affiliates of the Administrative Agent in connection with the Platform. 

(iv)    Each of the Credit Parties and the Lenders agree that the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to,
(A) store any electronic communications received in connection with this Agreement on the Platform in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s customary document retention procedures and policies and (B) deliver any information
required to be delivered to the Lenders under Article 6 by posting such information on the Platform. 

Section 10.2    Expenses. The Borrower agrees to promptly pay or promptly
reimburse: 
 (a)    All reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and syndication of this
Agreement, and the other Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated hereunder and thereunder, including, but not limited to, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel, advisors, and consultants for the Administrative Agent and its
Affiliates; 
 (b)    All reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates in connection with the administration of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement, and the
other Loan Documents, and the preparation, negotiation, execution, and delivery of any waiver, amendment, or consent and all due diligence and audits related thereto by the Lenders relating to this Agreement, or the other Loan Documents, including,
but not limited to the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel, advisors, and consultants for the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates; and 

(c)    All out-of-pocket expenses of the
Administrative Agent and its Affiliates and any Lender in connection with any restructuring, refinancing, or “work out” of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and of obtaining performance and enforcing their rights under this
Agreement, and the other Loan Documents, and all out-of-pocket expenses of collection if default is made in the payment of the Obligations, which in each case shall
include the fees and out-of-pocket expenses of counsel for the Administrative Agent, any Lender and their respective Affiliates but limited, in the case of legal fees
and expenses, to the fees and expenses of one counsel for all parties absent a conflict of interest (and, in the event of a conflict of interest, one additional counsel for the parties subject to such conflict) and the fees and out-of-pocket expenses of any experts, consultants, agents, or advisors engaged by the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Lenders and any of their respective Affiliates).

 Section 10.3    Waivers. The rights and remedies of the Lender Group
under this Agreement, and the other Loan Documents shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which they would otherwise have. No failure or delay by the Lender Group, or any of them, or the Required Lenders in exercising any
right shall operate as a waiver of such right. The Lender Group expressly reserves the right to require strict compliance with the terms of this Agreement in connection with any funding of a request for a Loan. In the event the Lenders decide to
fund a request for a Loan at a time when the Borrower is not in strict compliance with the terms of this Agreement, such decision by the Lenders shall not be deemed to constitute an undertaking by the Lenders to fund any further requests for Loans
or preclude the Lenders from exercising any rights available to the Lenders under the Loan Documents or at law or equity. Any waiver or indulgence granted by the Lenders or the Required Lenders shall not constitute a modification of this Agreement,
except to the extent expressly provided in such waiver or 

  
 63 










Table of Contents




 
indulgence, or constitute a course of dealing by the Lenders at variance with the terms of the Agreement such as to require further notice by the Lenders of the Lenders’ intent to require
strict adherence to the terms of the Agreement in the future. Any such actions shall not in any way affect the ability of the Lenders, in their discretion, to exercise any rights available to them under this Agreement or under any other agreement,
whether or not the Lenders are party, relating to the Borrower. 

Section 10.4    Set-Off. In addition
to any rights now or hereafter granted under Applicable Law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, except to the extent limited by Applicable Law, at any time that an Event of Default exists, each member of the Lender Group and each
subsequent holder of the Obligations is hereby authorized by the Credit Parties at any time or from time to time, without notice to the Credit Parties or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set-off and to appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, including, but not limited to, Indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, in each case whether matured or
unmatured, but not including any amounts held by any member of the Lender Group or any of its Affiliates in any escrow account) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by any member of the Lender Group or any such holder to or for the
credit or the account of any Credit Party, against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of the Credit Parties, to any member of the Lender Group or any such holder under this Agreement, any Loan Notes and any other Loan Document,
including, but not limited to, all claims of any nature or description arising out of or connected with this Agreement, any Loan Notes or any other Loan Document, irrespective of whether or not (a) the Lender Group shall have made any demand
hereunder or (b) the Lender Group shall have declared the Obligations to be due and payable as permitted by Section 8.2 and although said obligations and liabilities, or any of them, shall be contingent or unmatured; provided that
in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of set-off, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in
accordance with the provisions of Section 2.15 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the
Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of set-off.
Any sums obtained by any member of the Lender Group or by any subsequent holder of the Obligations shall be subject to the application of payments provisions of Article 2. 

Section 10.5    Assignment. 

(a)    The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their
respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that no Credit Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by
any Credit Party without such consent shall be null and void); provided that nothing in this Section shall prohibit any merger, consolidation, liquidation or dissolution permitted under Section 7.4. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed
or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Affiliates of the Administrative Agent) any legal
or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. 
 (b)    Any Lender may assign to one or more
Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and Loans); provided that (i) except in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the
assigning Lender’s portion of the Commitments and the Loans, the portion of the Commitments of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is
delivered to the Administrative Agent), shall not be less than $1,000,000, 

  
 64 










Table of Contents




 
(ii) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to a Lender, any assignment shall require the prior written consent of the
Administrative Agent and, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, the Borrower (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that if the consent of the Borrower to an assignment or to an
Eligible Assignee is required hereunder (including a consent to an assignment which does not meet the minimum assignment thresholds specified in this Section), the Borrower shall be deemed to have given its consent five (5) Business Days after
the date notice thereof has been delivered by the assigning Lender (through the Administrative Agent) unless such consent is expressly refused by the Borrower prior to such fifth Business Day, and (iii) the parties to each assignment shall
execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, and the Eligible Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an
Administrative Questionnaire. Not in limitation of the foregoing, in connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other
conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases
by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by
the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent and each other
Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans; provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of
any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under Applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this sentence, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement
until such compliance occurs. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, the Eligible
Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of
the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement,
such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.9(b), 2.10, 6.14, 6.15, 11.3 and 11.5); provided that, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no
assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this
Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (d) of this Section. 

(c)    The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the
Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the portion of the Commitments of, and principal amount (and stated
interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the
Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time upon reasonable prior notice.

 (d)    Any Lender may, without the consent of, or notice to, the
Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion
of its Commitments and/or Loans); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such
obligations, (iii) the Borrower and the Lender Group shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and (iv) in no event shall any Credit Party
or any Affiliate of any Credit Party be a Participant. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any
amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, to the extent the Participant is adversely
effected thereby, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver with respect to any extensions, postponements or delays of the Maturity Date or the scheduled date of payment of interest or principal or fees, any reduction of principal (without a
corresponding payment with respect thereto), or reduction in the rate of interest (other than a waiver in respect of application of the Default Rate) or fees due to the Lender hereunder or any other Loan Documents. Subject to paragraph (e) of
this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.9(b), 2.10, 6.14, 6.15 and 11.3 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph
(b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.4 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Sections 2.11(b) and 10.16 as
though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 10.16 with respect to any
Participant. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each
Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any
obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans or its other obligations under any Loan Document)
to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States
Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes
of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. 

(e)    A Participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.9(b) unless the Borrower is notified of the
participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 2.9(b) as though it were a Lender. 

(f)    A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.9(b) or Section 11.3
than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. 

(g)    Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this
Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including without limitation (i) any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank and (ii) in the case of any Lender that is a Fund, any pledge or assignment of all or
any portion of such Lender’s rights under

this Agreement to any holders of obligations owed, or securities issued, by such Lender as security for such obligations or securities, or to any trustee for, or any other representative of, such
holders, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute
any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. 

Section 10.6    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all such separate counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. In proving this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any judicial proceedings, it shall
not be necessary to produce or account for more than one such counterpart signed by the party against whom such enforcement is sought. Any signatures delivered by a party by facsimile transmission or by e-mail
transmission of an electronic file in Adobe Corporation’s Portable Document Format or PDF file shall be deemed an original signature hereto. The foregoing shall apply to each other Loan Document mutatis mutandis. 

Section 10.7    Under Seal; Governing Law. This Agreement and the other Loan
Documents are intended to take effect as sealed instruments and shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to the conflict of laws principles thereof, except to the extent otherwise
provided in the Loan Documents. 
 Section 10.8    Severability. Any
provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof in that jurisdiction or affecting the validity or
enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. 

Section 10.9    Headings. Headings used in this Agreement are for convenience
only and shall not be used in connection with the interpretation of any provision hereof. 

Section 10.10    Source of Funds. Notwithstanding the use by the Lenders of
the Base Rate and the Eurodollar Rate as reference rates for the determination of interest on the Loans, the Lenders shall be under no obligation to obtain funds from any particular source in order to charge interest to the Borrower at interest
rates tied to such reference rates. 
 Section 10.11    Entire Agreement.
THIS WRITTEN AGREEMENT, TOGETHER WITH THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, REPRESENTS THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN
ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES. Each Credit Party represents and warrants to the Lender Group that it has read the provisions of this Section 10.11 and discussed the provisions of this Section 10.11 and the rest of this Agreement with
counsel for such Credit Party, and such Credit Party acknowledges and agrees that the Lender Group is expressly relying upon such representations and warranties of such Credit Party (as well as the other representations and warranties of such Credit
Party set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents) in entering into this Agreement. 

Section 10.12    Amendments and Waivers. 

(a)    Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document may be amended or waived orally but instead may only be amended
or waived by an instrument in writing signed by the Required Lenders, or in the case of Loan Documents executed by the Administrative Agent (and not the other members of the Lender Group), signed by the Administrative Agent and approved by the
Required

Lenders and, in the case of an amendment, also by the Borrower, except that: (i) (A) except as provided in Section 9.12, the consent of each of the Lenders shall be required for any
release of all or substantially all of the value of the Guaranty under Article 3, or any contractual subordination of the payment of the Obligations to any other Indebtedness, (B) the consent of each of the Lenders affected thereby shall
be required for any extensions, postponements or delays of the Maturity Date or the scheduled date of payment of interest or principal or fees, or any reduction of principal (without a corresponding payment with respect thereto), or reduction in the
rate of interest or fees due to the Lenders hereunder or under any other Loan Documents (other than a waiver in respect of matters related to the Default Rate, which shall require the approval of only the Required Lenders), or any amendment or
modification of the definition of “Applicable Margin” or the definition of any component thereof if the effect thereof is to reduce the rate of interest or fees due to the Lenders hereunder or under any other Loan Documents, (C) the
consent of each of the Lenders affected thereby shall be required for any amendment of this Section 10.12 or of the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision of the Loan Documents specifying the number or percentage of
Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent thereunder; (D) the Commitments of a Lender may not be increased without the consent of such Lender; and (E) the consent of
each of the Lenders shall be required for any amendment to Section 2.11 or 2.12; (ii) the consent of the Guarantors and the Required Lenders shall be required for any amendment to Article 3; and (iii) the consent of the Administrative
Agent only shall be required to amend Schedule 1.1(a) to reflect assignments of all or any portion of the Commitments and Loans in accordance with this Agreement; provided that any amendment or waiver under this Agreement or the other
Loan Documents which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender may be accomplished without the consent of any Defaulting Lender except that (a) the Commitments of such Defaulting Lender may not be increased or
extended without the consent of such Defaulting Lender and (b) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender more adversely than other affected
Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, this Agreement may be amended and restated without the consent of any Lender (but with the consent of the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent) if, upon giving effect to such amendment and restatement, such Lender shall no longer be a party to this Agreement (as so amended and restated), the portion of the Commitment of such Lender shall have terminated (but such
Lender shall be entitled to the benefit of Article 11 and Section 10.2), such Lender shall have no other commitment or other obligation hereunder and shall have been paid in full all principal, interest and other amounts
owing to it or accrued for its account under this Agreement. Any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be amended by an agreement in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to cure any ambiguity,
omission, defect or inconsistency and to reflect entity name changes and organizational restructurings permitted hereunder so long as, in each case, the Lenders shall have received at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice
thereof and the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five Business Days of the date of such notice to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that the Required Lenders object to such amendment. 

(b)    Each Lender grants to the Administrative Agent the right to purchase all (but not less than all) of such
Lender’s portion of the Commitments and the Loans and any Loan Notes held by it and all of its rights and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at a price equal to the par value of the Obligations owed to such Lender under
the Loan Documents, which right may be exercised by the Administrative Agent if such Lender for whatever reason fails to execute and deliver any amendment, waiver or consent which requires the written consent of all of the Lenders and to which the
Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower have agreed, within five (5) Business Days of the date the execution version thereof was delivered to such Lender. Each Lender agrees that if the Administrative Agent exercises its
option hereunder, it shall promptly (but, in any event, within three (3) Business Days) execute and deliver an Assignment and Acceptance and other agreements and documentation necessary to effectuate such assignment. The Administrative Agent
may assign its purchase rights hereunder to any assignee if such assignment complies with the requirements of Section 10.5(b).

 (c)    If any fees are paid to the Lenders as consideration for
amendments, waivers or consents with respect to this Agreement, at the Administrative Agent’s election, such fees may be paid only to those Lenders that agree to such amendments, waivers or consents within the time specified for submission
thereof. 
 Section 10.13    Other Relationships. No relationship created
hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall in any way affect the ability of any member of the Lender Group to enter into or maintain business relationships with the Borrower, or any of its Affiliates, beyond the relationships specifically
contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 

Section 10.14    Pronouns. The pronouns used herein shall include, when
appropriate, either gender and both singular and plural, and the grammatical construction of sentences shall conform thereto. 
 
Section 10.15    Disclosure. The Administrative Agent, with the consent of the Borrower, shall have the right to issue press releases regarding the making of the Loans and the Commitments to the Borrower pursuant
to the terms of this Agreement. 
 Section 10.16    Replacement of Lender.
In the event that a Replacement Event (as defined below) occurs and is continuing with respect to any Lender, the Borrower may designate another financial institution (such financial institution being herein called a “Replacement
Lender”) acceptable to the Administrative Agent, and which is not the Borrower or an Affiliate of the Borrower, to assume such Lender’s Commitments hereunder and to purchase the Loans of such Lender and such Lender’s rights
hereunder, without recourse to or representation or warranty by, or expense to, such Lender for a purchase price equal to the par value of the Obligations owed to such Lender under the Loan Documents, and upon such assumption, purchase and
substitution, and subject to the execution and delivery to the Administrative Agent by the Replacement Lender of documentation satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (pursuant to which such Replacement Lender shall assume the obligations of such
original Lender under this Agreement), the Replacement Lender shall succeed to the rights and obligations of such Lender hereunder and such Lender shall no longer be a party hereto or have any rights hereunder provided that the obligations of the
Borrower to indemnify such Lender with respect to any event occurring or obligations arising before such replacement shall survive such replacement. The Administrative Agent is hereby irrevocably appointed as attorney-in-fact to execute any such documentation on behalf of any Replacement Lender if such Replacement Lender fails to execute same within five (5) Business Days after being presented with such
documentation. “Replacement Event” shall mean, with respect to any Lender, (a) the commencement of or the taking of possession by, a receiver, custodian, conservator, trustee or liquidator of such Lender, or the declaration by
the appropriate regulatory authority that such Lender is insolvent; (b) the making of any claim by any Lender under Section 2.9(b), 11.2, 11.3 or 11.5, unless the changing of the lending office by such Lender would obviate the need of such
Lender to make future claims under such Sections; (c) such Lender’s becoming a Defaulting Lender; or (d) such Lender refuses to consent to a proposed amendment, modification, waiver or other action requiring consent of the holders of
100% of the Commitments or 100% of the affected Lenders under Section 10.12 that is consented to by the Required Lenders prior to the replacement of any such Lenders in connection therewith. 

Section 10.17    Confidentiality; Material
Non-Public Information. 
 (a)    No member of the Lender Group shall
disclose any material non-public confidential information (“MNPI”) regarding the Credit Parties or their Subsidiaries without the consent

of the Borrower, other than (i) to any Related Party of any member of the Lender Group (it being understood that such Related Parties will be informed of the confidential nature of such
information and instructed to keep such information confidential), (ii) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (iii) to the extent requested by any regulatory agency or authority
purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (iv) to the extent that such information becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of
this Section, or which becomes available to it on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Credit Parties or any of their Subsidiaries, (v) in connection with the exercise of any remedy
hereunder or under any other Loan Documents or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Documents or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (vi) to any assignee of or Participant in, or any

substantially the terms set forth in this paragraph) in accordance with the standard processes of the Administrative Agent or customary market standards for dissemination of such type of information (including “click-through” agreements),
(vii) on a confidential basis to any rating agency and (viii) on a confidential basis to the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar organization. 

(b)    The parties hereto agree that, except as provided in the immediately following sentence, all reports, notices,

US federal and state securities laws; provided that, upon the request of the Administrative Agent from time to time, the Credit Parties shall be entitled to require the Borrower to confirm whether any Borrower Materials that have been
provided or delivered hereunder do not contain MNPI. The Credit Parties represent, warrant, acknowledge and agree that the following documents and materials shall be deemed to be PUBLIC, whether or not so marked, and do not contain any MNPI:

their employees willing to receive MNPI, and a separate letter authorizing distribution of evaluation materials that do not contain MNPI and represent that no MNPI is contained therein. 

Section 10.18    Revival and Reinstatement of Obligations. If the incurrence
or payment of the Obligations by the Borrower or any other Credit Party, or the transfer to the Lender Group of any property, should for any reason subsequently be declared to be void or voidable under any state or Federal law relating to
creditors’ rights, including provisions of the Bankruptcy Code relating to fraudulent conveyances, preferences or other voidable or recoverable payments of money or transfers of property (collectively, a “Voidable Transfer”),
and if the Lender Group, or any of them, is required to repay or restore, in whole or in part, any such Voidable Transfer, or elects to do so upon the reasonable advice of its counsel, then, as to any such Voidable Transfer, or the amount thereof
that the Lender Group, or any of them, is required or elects to repay or restore, and as to all reasonable costs, expenses and attorneys fees of the Lender Group related thereto, the liability of the Borrower or such other Credit Party, as
applicable, automatically shall be revived, reinstated and restored and shall exist as though such Voidable Transfer had never been made.

Obligations. 
 (a)    Each Credit Party hereby subordinates any claims, including any right of payment,
subrogation, contribution and indemnity, that it may have from or against any other Credit Party, and any successor or assign of any other Credit Party, including any trustee, receiver or debtor-in-possession, howsoever arising, due or owing or whether heretofore, now or hereafter existing, to the prior payment in full of all of the Obligations (other than contingent indemnification
obligations for which no claim has been made) in cash and termination of all Commitments; provided, unless an Event of Default shall then exist, the foregoing shall not prevent or prohibit the repayment of intercompany accounts and loans, or
intercompany asset transfers, among the Credit Parties in the ordinary course of business. 
 (b)    Notwithstanding any
provision to the contrary contained herein or in any other of the Loan Documents, to the extent the joint obligations of any Credit Party shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason (including, without limitation, because of
any applicable state or Federal law relating to fraudulent conveyances or transfers) then the obligations of each Credit Party hereunder shall be limited to the maximum amount that is permissible under applicable law (whether Federal or state and
including, without limitation, the Bankruptcy Code), after taking into account, among other things, such Credit Party’s right of contribution and indemnification from each other Credit Party under this Agreement or applicable law. 

(c)    The provisions of this Section 10.19 are made for the benefit of the Lenders and their respective successors
and permitted assigns, and may be enforced by any such Person from time to time against any of the Credit Parties as often as occasion therefor may arise and without requirement on the part of any Lender first to marshal any of its claims or to
exercise any of its rights against any of the other Credit Parties or to exhaust any remedies available to it against any of the other Credit Parties or to resort to any other source or means of obtaining payment of any of the Obligations or to
elect any other remedy. The provisions of this Section 10.19 shall remain in effect until the payment in full of all of the Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been made) in cash and termination
of all Commitments. If at any time, any payment, or any part thereof, made in respect of any of the Obligations, is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by any Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any of the
Credit Parties, or otherwise, the provisions of this Section 10.19 will forthwith be reinstated in effect, as though such payment had not been made. 

Section 10.20    No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with
all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), each Credit Party acknowledges and agrees that: (a) (i) the arranging and other
services regarding this Agreement provided by the Lender Group members are arm’s-length commercial transactions between such Credit Party and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Lender Group members,
on the other hand, (ii) such Credit Party has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory, and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (iii) such Credit Party is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the
terms, risks, and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; (b) (i) each of the Lender Group members is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the
relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent, or fiduciary for any Credit Party or any of its Affiliates, or any other Person and (B) no Lender Group member has any obligation to any Credit Party or any of
its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (c) each of the Lender Group members and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in
a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of such Credit Party and its Affiliates, and no Lender Group member has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to such Credit Party or its Affiliates. To the
fullest extent permitted by law, each Credit Party hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against each of the Lender Group members with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect
of any transaction contemplated hereby.

INABILITY TO DETERMINE INTEREST RATES; YIELD PROTECTION 

Section 11.1    Inability to Determine Interest Rates. 

(a)    If, prior to the commencement of any Eurodollar Loan Period for any Eurodollar Loan: 

(i)    the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding
upon the Borrower) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant interbank market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate (including, without limitation, because the Screen Rate is not available or
published on a current basis) for such Eurodollar Loan Period, provided that no Benchmark Transition Event or Early Opt-In Election shall have occurred at such time or for such Eurodollar Loan Period, or 

(ii)    the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Required Lenders that the Eurodollar
Rate for such Eurodollar Loan Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making, funding or maintaining their Eurodollar Loans for such Eurodollar Loan Period, 

  
 72 










Table of Contents




 then the Administrative Agent shall give written notice thereof (or telephonic notice, promptly confirmed in
writing) to the Borrower and to the Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. Until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) the obligations of
the Lenders to make Eurodollar Loans or to continue or convert outstanding Loans as or into Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended and (ii) all such affected Loans shall be converted into Base Rate Loans on the last day of the then current
Eurodollar Loan Period applicable thereto unless the Borrower prepays such Loans in accordance with this Agreement. Unless the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent at least one (1) Business Day before the date of any Eurodollar Loan for
which a Request for Loan or Notice of Conversion/Continuation has previously been given that it elects not to borrow, continue or convert to a Eurodollar Loan on such date, then such Loan shall be made as, continued as or converted into a Base Rate
Loan. 
 (b)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, upon the occurrence of a
Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace the Screen Rate with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such
amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Administrative Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Borrower so long as the Administrative
Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders. Any such amendment with respect to an Early Opt-in Election will become
effective on the date that Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such Required Lenders accept such amendment. No replacement of the Screen Rate with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to
these provisions will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date. 
 (c)    In connection with the
implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any
amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement. 

(d)    The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) any occurrence of a
Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date and Benchmark Transition Start Date, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement,
(iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes and (iv) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or
Lenders pursuant to this Section 11.1(b)-(e), including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any
decision to take or refrain from taking any action, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party hereto, except, in each case, as expressly required
pursuant to this Section 11.1(b)-(e). 
 (e)    Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a
Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any request for a Eurodollar Loan of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the
Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Loan of or conversion to Base Rate Loans. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period, the component of Base Rate based upon the Eurodollar Rate will not be used in any
determination of Base Rate.

Section 11.2    Illegality. If any Change in Law shall make it unlawful or
impossible for any Lender to make, maintain, or fund its Eurodollar Loans, such Lender shall so notify the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the other Lenders and the Borrower. Before giving
any notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 11.2, such Lender shall designate a different lending office if such designation will avoid the need for giving such notice and will not, in the judgment of such Lender, be
otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. Upon receipt of such notice, notwithstanding anything contained in Article 2, the Borrower shall repay in full the amount of each affected Eurodollar Loan of such Lender, together with accrued interest
thereon, either (a) on the last day of the then current Eurodollar Loan Period applicable to such Eurodollar Loan if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain and fund such Eurodollar Loan to such day or (b) immediately if such Lender
may not lawfully continue to fund and maintain such Eurodollar Loan to such day. Concurrently with repaying each affected Eurodollar Loan of such Lender, notwithstanding anything contained in Article 2, the Borrower shall borrow a Base Rate Loan
from such Lender, and such Lender shall make such Base Rate Loan in an amount such that the amount of the Loans held by such Lender shall equal the amount of such Loans immediately prior to such repayment. 

Section 11.3    Increased Costs. 

(a)    If any Change in Law: 

(i)    Shall subject any Lender to any tax, duty, or other charge with respect to its obligation to make
Eurodollar Loans or its Eurodollar Loans (other than Indemnified Taxes or Excluded Taxes); or 

(ii)    Shall impose, modify, or deem applicable any reserve (including, without limitation, any imposed by
the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, but excluding any included in an applicable Eurodollar Reserve Percentage), special deposit, assessment, or similar requirement or condition against assets of, deposits (other than as described
in Section 11.5) with or for the account of, or commitments or credit extended by any Lender, or shall impose on any Lender or the Eurodollar interbank borrowing market any other condition affecting its obligation to make such Eurodollar Loans
or its Eurodollar Loans; 
 and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Loan and such
increase is not given effect in the determination of the Eurodollar Rate, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder, then promptly upon demand, which demand shall be accompanied by the certificate described
in Section 11.3(b), by such Lender, the Borrower agrees to pay, without duplication of amounts due under Section 2.9(b), to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased costs. Each Lender
will promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, which will entitle such Lender to compensation pursuant to this Section 11.3 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 sole judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. 

(b)    A certificate of any Lender claiming compensation under this Section 11.3 and setting forth the additional
amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder and calculations therefor shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, such Lender may use any

reasonable averaging and attribution methods. If any Lender demands compensation under this Section 11.3, the Borrower may at any time, upon at least three (3) Business Days prior
notice to such Lender, prepay in full the then affected Eurodollar Loans of such Lender, together with accrued interest thereon to the date of prepayment, along with any reimbursement required under Section 2.10. Concurrently with prepaying
such Eurodollar Loans, the Borrower shall borrow a Base Rate Loan, or a Eurodollar Loan not so affected, from such Lender, and such Lender shall make such Loan in an amount such that the amount of the Loans held by such Lender shall equal the amount
of such Loans immediately prior to such prepayment. 
 (c)    Each Lender shall endeavor to notify the Borrower of any
event occurring after the date of this Agreement entitling such Lender to compensation under this Section 11.3 within one hundred eighty (180) days such Lender obtains actual knowledge thereof; provided that such Lender shall, with
respect to compensation payable pursuant to this Section 11.3 in respect of any costs resulting from such event, only be entitled to payment under this Section 11.3 for costs incurred from and after the date one hundred eighty
(180) days prior to the date that such Lender gives notice to the Borrower of such event. 

Section 11.4    Effect On Other Loans. If notice has been given pursuant to
Sections 11.1, 11.2 or 11.3 suspending the obligation of any Lender to make any Eurodollar Loan, or requiring Eurodollar Loans of any Lender to be repaid or prepaid, then, unless and until such Lender (or, in the case of Section 11.1, the
Administrative Agent) notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such repayment no longer apply, all Loans which would otherwise be made by such Lender as to the Eurodollar Loans affected shall, at the option of the Borrower, be
made instead as Base Rate Loans. 
 Section 11.5    Capital Adequacy. If
any Lender (or any holding company of any Lender) shall have reasonably determined that a Change in Law has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s (or any holding company of such Lender) capital or liquidity as
a consequence of such Lender’s portion of the Commitments or obligations hereunder to a level below that which it could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s (or any holding company of such
Lender) policies with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity immediately before such Change in Law and assuming that such Lender’s (or any holding company of such Lender) capital was fully utilized prior to such adoption, change or
compliance), then, promptly upon demand, which demand shall be accompanied by the certificate described in the last sentence of this Section 11.5, by such Lender, the Borrower shall immediately pay to such Lender such additional amounts as
shall be sufficient to compensate such Lender for any such reduction actually suffered; provided, however, that there shall be no duplication of amounts paid to a Lender pursuant to this sentence and Section 11.3. A certificate of
such Lender setting forth the amount to be paid to such Lender by the Borrower as a result of any event referred to in this paragraph shall, absent manifest error, be conclusive. Each Lender shall endeavor to notify the Borrower of any event
occurring after the date of this Agreement entitling such Lender to compensation under this Section 11.5 within one hundred eighty (180) days after such Lender obtains actual knowledge thereof; provided that such Lender shall, with
respect to compensation payable pursuant to this Section 11.5 in respect of any costs resulting from such event, only be entitled to payment under this Section 11.5 for costs incurred from and after the date one hundred eighty
(180) days prior to the date that such Lender gives notice to the Borrower of such event.

flood insurance in such total amount as is sufficient to comply with all applicable rules and regulations promulgated pursuant to the Flood Insurance Laws or as otherwise reasonably required by the Administrative Agent or any Lender and

security instrument in respect of any real property acquired by the Borrower or any other Credit Party after the Closing Date until (i) the date that occurs fourteen (14) days after the Administrative Agent has delivered to the Lenders

Section 12.6    Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the
extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for any agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties
acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with
the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported
QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):

 (a)    In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC
(each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such
Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special
Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act
Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against
such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or
a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a
Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support. 
 (b)    As used in this Section 12.6, the following terms have the
