to clauses (a) or (b) of this Section, the accounts maintained by the Administrative Agent shall govern. 

(d)    Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrower shall
prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by
such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form. 

Section 2.09    Voluntary Prepayment of Loans; Applicable Premium; Asset Sale Prepayment Premium.

may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or other transactions specified therein, in which case, such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by
written notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Loan, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the
contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Loan shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Loan as provided in Section 2.01. Each prepayment of a Loan shall be applied ratably to the
Loans. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.11, together with any Applicable Premium (including any Make-Whole Amount). 

(c)    (i) To the extent any prepayment of Loans is made pursuant to this Section 2.09 or

benefit of each Lender): (x) with respect to a mandatory prepayment offer made pursuant to Section 2.10 with the Initial Net Proceeds, the Asset Sale Prepayment Premium and (x) with respect to any other prepayment or
repayment offer (whether voluntary or mandatory) or acceleration, the Applicable Premium (including any Make-Whole Amount).

unreasonably withheld), in the case of an acceleration, as if the Loans were repaid at the time of such acceleration at the option of the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.09) shall become immediately due and payable, and
Borrower will pay such premium, as compensation to the Lenders for the loss of their investment opportunity and not as a penalty, whether or not a Bankruptcy Event has commenced, and (if a Bankruptcy Event has commenced) without regard to whether
such Bankruptcy Event is voluntary or involuntary, or whether payment occurs pursuant to a motion, plan of reorganization, or otherwise, and without regard to whether the Loans and other Borrower Obligations are satisfied or released by foreclosure
(whether or not by power of judicial proceeding), deed in lieu of foreclosure or by any other means. Without limiting the foregoing, any redemption, prepayment, repayment, or payment of the Borrower Obligations in or in connection with a Bankruptcy
Event shall constitute an optional prepayment thereof under the terms of this Section 2.09 and require the immediate payment of the Applicable Premium. Any Applicable Premium payable pursuant to this
Section 2.09(c) shall be presumed to be the liquidated damages sustained by each Lender as the result of the redemption and/or acceleration of its Loans and the Borrower agrees that it is reasonable under the circumstances
in view of the impracticability and extreme difficulty of ascertaining actual damages and by mutual agreement of the parties as to a reasonable calculation of each Lender’s lost profits as a result thereof. Any Applicable Premium shall be in
addition to, and not in lieu of, all principal payments and other amount due pursuant to this Agreement.

interest thereon and the Applicable Premium or the Asset Sale Prepayment Premium thereon, as applicable.

Section 2.10 other than as a result of an Asset Sale Mandatory Prepayment Event, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by electronic communication) of any prepayment required to be made
pursuant to Section 2.10(a) not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three (3) Business Days before the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall specify the date of such prepayment and provide a reasonably
detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment, including any Applicable Premium. Promptly following receipt of any such notices, the Administrative Agent shall provide a copy thereof to the Lenders.

result of an Asset Sale Mandatory Prepayment Event, the Borrower shall deliver a written notice to the Administrative Agent and each Lender at least ten (10) Business Days prior to consummation of such Asset Sale Mandatory Prepayment Event,
detailing (in a level of detail reasonably satisfactory to the Lenders) the intended use of the Net Proceeds of such Asset Sale Mandatory Prepayment Event, the date of such prepayment and a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such
prepayment, including any Applicable Premium and any Asset Sale Prepayment Premium, as applicable, thereon. Each Lender will have the right to refuse such offer of prepayment by giving written notice of such refusal to the Administrative Agent
within ten (10) Business Days after such Lender’s receipt of such notice from the Administrative Agent of such offer of prepayment (such refused amounts, the “Declined Proceeds” and any Lender that so refuses, a

have rejected the offer and with respect to any Asset Sale Mandatory Prepayment Event in respect of any other Net Proceeds, any Lender who fails to send such written notice within such ten (10) Business Day period shall be deemed to have
accepted the offer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Borrower may at any time during such ten (10) Business Day period provided for in this clause (c) provide a notice to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that the
proposed Asset Sale Mandatory Prepayment Event has been canceled. 
 (d)    On the date of the prepayment required by
Section 2.10(a), (b) or (c), the Borrower shall make all such prepayments (other than any Declined Proceeds) from the Net Proceeds received from the applicable Mandatory Prepayment Event. Any Declined Proceeds
shall not be subject to any mandatory prepayment, Applicable Premium or Asset Sale Prepayment Premium, and may be used by the Borrower or its Subsidiaries and Affiliates for the purposes set forth in the notice described in clause
(c) above, provided that such purposes constitute working capital and general corporate purposes (including, without limitation, to repay or repurchase other Indebtedness). 

(e)    Other than as expressly provided for in clause (c) above in respect of any Declining Lender, each prepayment
required to be made pursuant to Section 2.10(a), (b) or (c) shall be paid to ratably to the Lenders. 

Section 2.11    Interest. (a) The Loans shall bear interest at the Applicable Rate. 

(b)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the
Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to 2% plus the rate applicable to Loans as
provided in clause (a) of this Section (the “Default Rate”).

each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date and on the Maturity Date; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to clause (b) of this Section shall be payable on demand and (ii) in the event of any

attributable thereto; 
 and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or such other
Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to such Lender or such other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such other Recipient, as
the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. 
 (b)    If any Lender determines that any

or the Loans made by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such
Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any
such reduction suffered. 
 (c)    A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate
such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in clause (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the
amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions
incurred more than 270 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if
the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 270-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a withholding agent, then the applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or
withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding

withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.
A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent
manifest error.

Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes
and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.04(c) relating to the maintenance of a Participant
Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto,
whether or not such Taxes were correctly or 

  
 32 












 
legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be
conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender

Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such
other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or
information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in
Section 2.15(f)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material
unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. 

(ii)    Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is a U.S. Person, 

(A)    any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the
date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9
(or any applicable successor form) certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. Federal backup withholding tax; 

(B)    any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the
Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable: 
 (1)    in the case of a Foreign
Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS
Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable (or any applicable successor form) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the
“interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable (or any applicable successor form) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other
income” article of such tax treaty; 
 (2)    in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming that its extension of
credit will generate U.S. effectively connected income, executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI (or any applicable successor form); 

  
 33 












 (3)    in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the
exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit E-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within
the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in
Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable (or any applicable successor form); or 
 (4)    to
the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form
W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or any applicable successor form), a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of
Exhibit E-3 or Exhibit E-4, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable;
provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in
the form of Exhibit E-2 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner; 

(C)    any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the
Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. Federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary
documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and 

(D)    if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. Federal withholding Tax imposed by
FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by
Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under
FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include
any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. 
 Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously
delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. 

(g)    Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that
it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.15 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.15), 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 2.15 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to
such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant 

  
 34 












 
to this clause (g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund
to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this clause (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this clause (g) the payment of
which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the 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 clause (g) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available
its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person. 

(h)    Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.15 shall survive the
resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document. 

(i)    Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section 2.15, the term “applicable
law” includes FATCA. 
 Section 2.16    Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs. (a) The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or of amounts payable under Section 2.13 or
Section 2.15, or otherwise) on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim, to the account of the Administrative Agent as designated in writing
from time to time to the Borrower for such purpose, prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding
Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent, except that payments pursuant to Section 2.13, Section 2.15 and
Section 10.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person in like funds to the appropriate
recipient, for the account of its applicable Lending Office, promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day,
and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in Dollars. 

(b)    If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all
amounts of principal, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees (including, without limitation, the commitment fee payable pursuant to the Lender Fee Letter)
then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, (ii) second, towards payment of any Applicable Premium (including any Make-Whole Amount) or Asset Sale
Prepayment Premium, and (iii) third, towards payment of principal then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties. 

(c)    If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or
otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion
received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by
the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans; provided that (i) if any such 

  
 35 












 
participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such
recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this clause shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as
consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this clause shall apply). The
Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. 

(d)    Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment
is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in
reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount
so distributed to such Lender with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined
by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. 
 (e)    If any Lender
shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.05, Section 2.16(d) or Section 10.03(c), then the Administrative Agent may, in its
discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied
obligations are fully paid, and/or (ii) hold such amounts in a segregated account over which the Administrative Agent shall have exclusive control as cash collateral for, and application to, any future funding obligations of such Lender under
any such Section, in the case of each of clause (i) and (ii) above, in any order as determined by the Administrative Agent in its discretion. 

Section 2.17    Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) If any Lender requests compensation
under Section 2.13, or if the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to
Section 2.15, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices,
branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.13 or Section 2.15, as the case
may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any
Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. 
 (b)    If any Lender requests compensation under
Section 2.13, or if the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.15,
then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort (including the payment by the Borrower of the fee specified in Section 10.04(b)(ii)(C)), upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to
assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 10.04), all its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payment pursuant to
Section 2.13 or Section 2.15 and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a


  
 36 












 
Lender accepts such assignment)); provided that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld,
(ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees (including, without limitation, the commitment fee payable pursuant to the Lender Fee
Letter) and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such
assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.13 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.15, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or
payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to
apply. Each party hereto agrees that (i) an assignment required pursuant to this clause may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the assignee (or, to the extent applicable,
an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Assumption by reference pursuant to an approved electronic Platform as to which the Administrative Agent and such parties are participants), and (ii) the Lender required to make such assignment need
not be a party thereto in order for such assignment to be effective and shall be deemed to have consented to an be bound by the terms thereof; provided that, following the effectiveness of any such assignment, the other parties to such assignment
agree to execute and deliver such documents necessary to evidence such assignment as reasonably requested by the applicable Lender; provided further that any such documents shall be without recourse to or warranty by the parties thereto.

subsidiaries (collectively, the “Projections”), no representation, warranty or covenant is made other than that the Projections have been prepared in good faith based on assumptions believed to be reasonable both at the time of
preparation and furnishing thereof, recognizing that there are (i) industry-wide risks normally associated with the types of business conducted by the MLP, the Borrower and their Subsidiaries and (ii) the Projections are necessarily based

Indebtedness under the Revolving Credit Agreement) of repayments or repurchases of any Indebtedness, other than as set forth in clause (a)). No part of the proceeds of any Loan will be used, whether directly or indirectly, for any purpose that
entails a violation of any of the Regulations of the Board, including Regulations T, U and X. The Borrower will not request any Loan, and each of the MLP and the Borrower shall not use, and shall procure that its Subsidiaries and its or their
respective directors, officers, employees and agents shall not use, directly or indirectly, the proceeds of any Loan, or lend, contribute or otherwise make available such proceeds to any Subsidiary, other Affiliate, joint venture partner or other
Person, (A) in furtherance of an offer, payment, promise to pay, or authorization of the payment or giving of money, or anything else of value, to any Person in violation of any Anti-Corruption Laws, (B) for the purpose of funding,
financing or facilitating any activities, business or transaction of or with any Sanctioned Person, or in any Sanctioned Country, or involving any goods originating in or with a Sanctioned Person or Sanctioned Country, or (C) in any manner that

(a)    comply with all applicable Environmental Laws and obtain and comply with and maintain any and all licenses,
approvals, notifications, registrations or permits required by applicable Environmental Laws except to the extent that failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; and 

(b)    conduct and complete all investigations, studies, sampling and testing, and all remedial, removal and other actions
required under Environmental Laws and promptly comply with all lawful orders and directives of all Governmental Authorities regarding Environmental Laws except to the extent that the same are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings
and the pendency of such proceedings could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

Section 5.10    Unrestricted Subsidiaries. 

(a)    It will cause the management, business and affairs of each of it and its Unrestricted Subsidiaries to be conducted
in such a manner (including, without limitation, by keeping separate books of account, furnishing separate financial statements of Unrestricted Subsidiaries to creditors and potential 

  
 46 












 
creditors thereof and by not permitting assets or properties of it and its respective Restricted Subsidiaries to be commingled (except pursuant to contractual arrangements that comply with
Section 6.07)) so that each Unrestricted Subsidiary that is a corporation or other entity will be treated as a corporate or other entity separate and distinct from it and the Restricted Subsidiaries. 

(b)    Except as permitted by Section 6.04(g), it will not, and will not permit any of the
Restricted Subsidiaries to, incur, assume, guarantee or be or become liable for any Indebtedness of any of the Unrestricted Subsidiaries.

Restricted Subsidiary.

that incurs as primary obligor any Covered Materials Indebtedness or guarantees any Covered Material Indebtedness of the MLP or any Subsidiary of the MLP (including, without limitation, any debt issued pursuant to the Indenture), to guarantee the
Borrower Obligations, by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, on or prior to the Effective Date with respect to any Subsidiary that guarantees or incurs as primary obligor any such Covered Material
Indebtedness as of the Effective Date, and thereafter, within five (5) Business Days after any Subsidiary guarantees or incurs as primary obligor any such Covered Material Indebtedness, (a) a Subsidiary Guaranty (or a supplement thereto as
may be requested by the Administrative Agent) and (b) such other additional closing documents, certificates and legal opinions as shall reasonably be requested by the Administrative Agent. For the avoidance of doubt, if at any time any
Subsidiary referenced above neither incurs as primary obligor nor guarantees any obligations of the MLP or any of its Subsidiaries under any Covered Material Indebtedness (including the Indenture) or any such Subsidiary is to be released from such
guarantee of, or obligations as primary obligor with respect to, such Covered Material Indebtedness immediately following such Subsidiary’s release from the Subsidiary Guaranty, then such Subsidiary shall be released from the Subsidiary
Guaranty in accordance with Section 6.15 of the Subsidiary Guaranty; provided that if such Subsidiary is not released from such guarantee of, or obligations as primary obligor with respect to, such Covered Material Indebtedness within
five (5) days of such Subsidiary’s release from the Subsidiary Guaranty, then such Subsidiary shall immediately become a party to the Subsidiary Guaranty.

the Lenders (but the foregoing is subject to the restrictions and limitations on the sale, transfer, lease or other disposition of all or substantially all of such Restricted Subsidiary’s assets, or all or substantially all of the stock of any
of its Restricted Subsidiaries as described above); provided that any such merger or consolidation involving a Person that is not a Wholly-Owned Restricted Subsidiary immediately prior to such merger shall not be permitted unless also permitted by

Unrestricted Subsidiaries. 

  
 52 












 (a)    Unless designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary on Schedule 3.12
as of the date hereof or thereafter, assuming compliance with Section 6.10(b), any Person that becomes a Subsidiary of the MLP or any Restricted Subsidiary shall be classified as a Restricted Subsidiary. 

(b)    The Borrower may designate by written notification thereof to the Administrative Agent, any Restricted Subsidiary
(other than the Borrower or any Guarantor), as an Unrestricted Subsidiary if: (i) prior, and after giving effect, to such designation, no Default would exist and (ii) such designation is deemed to be an Investment in an Unrestricted
Subsidiary in an amount equal to the fair market value as of the date of such designation of the MLP’s direct and indirect ownership interest in such Subsidiary and such Investment would be permitted to be made at the time of such designation
under Section 6.04(g). Except as provided in this Section 6.10(b), no Restricted Subsidiary may be redesignated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary. 

(c)    The Borrower may designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary if after giving effect to such
designation: (i) the representations and warranties of the MLP, the Guarantors and the Borrower contained in each of the Loan Documents are true and correct on and as of the date of such designation as if made on and as of the date of such
designation (or, if stated to have been made expressly as of an earlier date, were true and correct as of such date), (ii) no Default would exist and (iii) the MLP and the Borrower complies with the requirements of
Section 5.10. Any such designation shall be treated as a cash dividend in an amount equal to the lesser of the fair market value of the MLP’s direct and indirect ownership interest in such Subsidiary or the amount of
the MLP’s cash investment previously made for purposes of the limitation on Investments under Section 6.04(g). 

(d)    Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained herein, for the purposes of this Agreement, the
Borrower and the Guarantors are each a Restricted Subsidiary of the MLP and may not be an Unrestricted Subsidiary. 

(e)    The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent (for distribution to the Lenders) in writing promptly upon any
Subsidiary becoming a Material Subsidiary. 
 Section 6.11    Consolidated Debt Coverage Ratio. For
any Rolling Period ending on or after June 30, 2020, the MLP will not permit, as of the last day of such Rolling Period (each, a “Test Date”), its Consolidated Debt Coverage Ratio to be in excess of 5.00 to 1.00 (the
“Standard Ratio”) for such Rolling Period; provided that, with respect to any Test Date covered by this Section 6.11, if at any time the MLP or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries has consummated one or more
acquisitions within the two most recently completed fiscal quarters prior to such Test Date for which the MLP or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries has paid aggregate net consideration of at least $50,000,000, then, for the two Rolling Periods the
last day of which immediately follows the date on which such acquisition is consummated, the MLP will not permit, as of such Test Date, its Consolidated Debt Coverage Ratio to be in excess of 5.50 to 1.00, and thereafter, compliance shall be
determined by reverting back to the Standard Ratio; provided further that, notwithstanding the foregoing, or anything to the contrary contained in this Section 6.11, in no event shall the MLP permit at any time its
Consolidated Debt Coverage Ratio to exceed 5.50 to 1.00 for any Rolling Period. 

Section 6.12    Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio. The MLP will not permit, as of the last day of
each Rolling Period, commencing with the Rolling Period ending June 30, 2020, the Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio for the Rolling Period ending on such day, to be less than 1.75 to 1.00. 

Section 6.13    Limitation on Series D Preferred Unit Issuances. Without the prior written consent of
the Required Lenders, the MLP will not issue any Series D Preferred Units, other than Series D Preferred Units in an aggregate amount not to exceed $10,000,000.

party thereto or shall be repudiated by any of them, or the Borrower, the MLP or a Guarantor shall so state in writing; or 

(o)    a Change in Control shall occur; 

then, and in every such event (other than an event with respect to the Borrower described in clause (g) or (h) of this Article), and at any
time thereafter during the continuance of such event, the Administrative Agent may, and at the request of the Required Lenders shall, by notice to the Borrower, take either or both 

  
 55 












 
of the following actions, at the same or different times: (i) terminate the Commitments, and thereupon the Commitments shall terminate immediately, and (ii) declare the Loans then
outstanding to be due and payable in whole (or in part, in which case any principal not so declared to be due and payable may thereafter be declared to be due and payable), and thereupon the principal of the Loans so declared to be due and payable,
together with accrued interest thereon and all fees (including any fees provided for under the Lender Fee Letter), premiums (including any Applicable Premium) and other obligations of the Borrower accrued hereunder, shall become due and payable
immediately, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower; and in case of any event with respect to the Borrower described in clause (g) or (h) of this Article,
the Commitments shall automatically terminate and the principal of the Loans then outstanding, together with accrued interest thereon and all fees (including any fees provided for under the Lender Fee Letter), premiums (including any Applicable
Premium) and other obligations of the Borrower accrued hereunder, shall automatically become due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower. 

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that if, on or prior to the Maturity Date, (i) the Loans become due and
payable in respect of any Event of Default (including, but not limited to, upon the occurrence of a bankruptcy or insolvency related event (including any Bankruptcy Event or acceleration of claims by operation of law)) or (ii) the board of
directors (or similar governing body) of any Loan Party (or any committee thereof) adopts or causes the adoption or occurrence of any resolution, written consent or otherwise authorizing any action to approve any bankruptcy or insolvency related
event (including any Bankruptcy Event) (each of the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), a “Specified Event”), the Applicable Premium that would have applied if, at the time of such Specified Event, the Borrower had paid, repaid,
refinanced, substituted or replaced any or all of the Loans as contemplated in Section 2.09 and any fee that would have applied under the Lender Fee Letter if, at the time of such Specified Event, the Borrower had
terminated all Commitments as contemplated by the Lender Fee Letter, will also be automatically and immediately due and payable and the Applicable Premium and such fees shall constitute part of the Borrower Obligations, in view of the
impracticability and extreme difficulty of ascertaining actual damages and by mutual agreement of the parties as to a reasonable calculation of and compensation for the Lenders’ loss of an investment opportunity (but not as a penalty) and not
as a result thereof. Any Applicable Premium and other such fees payable hereunder shall be presumed to be the liquidated damages (and not, for the avoidance of doubt, unmatured interest or a penalty) sustained by the Lenders as the result of such
Specified Event and the Borrower and the other Loan Parties agree that the Applicable Premium and such other fees are reasonable under the circumstances currently existing. The Applicable Premium and such other fees shall be immediately due and
payable upon the occurrence of a Specified Event without regard to whether such Specified Event is voluntary or involuntary, or whether payment occurs pursuant to a motion, plan of reorganization, or otherwise, and without regard to whether the
Loans and other Borrower Obligations are satisfied or released by foreclosure (whether by power of judicial proceeding), deed in lieu of foreclosure or by any other similar means. 

THE BORROWER AND EACH OTHER LOAN PARTY EXPRESSLY WAIVES (TO THE FULLEST EXTENT IT MAY LAWFULLY DO SO) THE PROVISIONS OF ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE STATUTE OR LAW
THAT PROHIBITS OR MAY PROHIBIT THE COLLECTION OF THE FOREGOING APPLICABLE PREMIUM OR SUCH OTHER FEES IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH SPECIFIED EVENT. 
 The
Borrower and each other Loan Party expressly agrees (to the fullest extent it may lawfully do so) that: (A) the Applicable Premium and such other fees are reasonable and is the product of an arm’s length transaction between sophisticated
business people, ably represented by counsel; (B) the Applicable Premium and such other fees shall be payable notwithstanding the then prevailing market rates at the time payment is made; (C) there has been a course of conduct between the
Lenders and the Borrower and the 

  
 56 












 
other Loan Parties giving specific consideration in this transaction for such agreement to pay the Applicable Premium and such other fees; and (D) the Borrower and each other Loan Party
shall be estopped hereafter from claiming differently than as agreed to in this paragraph. 
 The Borrower and each other Loan Party expressly acknowledges
that its agreement to pay the Applicable Premium and such other fees to Lenders as herein described is a material inducement to Lenders to enter into this Agreement. 

ARTICLE VIII 
 MLP Guarantee

 Section 8.01    MLP Guarantee. 

(a)    The MLP, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, (i) absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably,
guarantees to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Credit Parties and their respective successors, endorsees, transferees and assigns, the prompt and complete payment and performance by the Borrower and the other Guarantors when
due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the Borrower Obligations and (ii) indemnifies and holds harmless each Credit Party from, and agrees to pay to such Credit Party, all reasonable costs and expenses (including
reasonable counsel fees and expenses) incurred by such Credit Party in enforcing any of its rights under the guarantee contained in this Section 8.01. The MLP agrees that notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other
prohibition preventing the payment by the Borrower of all or any portion of the Borrower Obligations and notwithstanding that all or any portion of the Borrower Obligations may be unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy,
reorganization or similar proceeding involving the Borrower, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, such Borrower Obligations shall nevertheless be due and payable by the MLP for the purposes of this guarantee at the time such Borrower
Obligations would by payable by the Borrower under the provisions of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any enforcement of this guarantee with respect to the rights of any Credit Party shall be accomplished by the Administrative Agent
acting on behalf of such Credit Party. The guarantee contained in this Section 8.01 is a guarantee of payment and not collection, and the liability of the MLP is primary and not secondary. Anything to the contrary
notwithstanding, the maximum liability of the MLP under the guarantee provided for in this Article VIII shall in no event exceed the amount which can be guaranteed by the MLP under applicable federal and state laws relating to insolvency of debtors
(after giving effect to any right of contribution provided for herein or in any other Loan Document). 
 (b)    The MLP
agrees that if the maturity of the Borrower Obligations is accelerated by bankruptcy or otherwise, such maturity shall also be deemed accelerated for the purpose of this guarantee without demand or notice to the MLP. The guarantee contained in this
Section 8.01 is a continuing guarantee and shall remain in full force and effect until all the Borrower Obligations and the obligations of the MLP under the guarantee contained in this Section 8.01
shall have been satisfied by payment in full in cash and the Commitments shall be terminated, notwithstanding that from time to time during the term of this Agreement the Borrower may be free from any Borrower Obligations. 

(c)    No payment made by the Borrower, the MLP, any other guarantor or any other Person or received or collected by any
Credit Party from the Borrower, the MLP, any other guarantor or any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any set-off or appropriation or application at any time or from time to time in
reduction of or in payment of the Borrower Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of the MLP hereunder which shall, notwithstanding any such payment (other than any payment made by the Borrower or
MLP in respect of the Borrower Obligations or any payment received or collected from the Borrower or MLP in respect of the Borrower Obligations), remain liable for the Borrower Obligations until, subject to Section 8.05,
the Borrower Obligations are paid in full in cash and the Commitments are terminated. 

  
 57 












 Section 8.02    Subrogation. The MLP shall be
subrogated to all the rights of any Credit Party against the Borrower in respect of any amounts paid by the MLP pursuant to the provisions of the guarantee contained in Section 8.01; provided, however, that the MLP shall not be
entitled to enforce or to receive any payments arising out of, or based upon, such right of subrogation with respect to any of the Borrower Obligations, nor shall the MLP seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from the
Borrower or any other Guarantor (or any other guarantor) in respect of payments made by the MLP hereunder, until all of the Borrower Obligations and the Guarantees thereof shall have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash or discharged. A director,
officer, employee or stockholder, as such, of the MLP shall not have any liability for any obligations of the MLP under the guarantee contained in Section 8.01 or any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such
obligations or their creation. 
 Section 8.03    Amendments, Etc. with respect to the Borrower
Obligations. The MLP shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against the MLP and without notice to or further assent by the MLP, any demand for payment of any of the Borrower Obligations made by
any Credit Party may be rescinded by such Credit Party and any of the Borrower Obligations continued, and the Borrower Obligations, or the liability of any other Person upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee therefor
or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by any Credit Party, and any Loan Document and any other
document executed and delivered in connection therewith may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, as the Administrative Agent (or the Required Lenders or all Lenders, as the case may be) may deem advisable from time
to time, and any collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any time held by any Credit Party for the payment of the Borrower Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released. Except as required by applicable law, no
Credit Party shall have any obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien at any time held by it as security for the Borrower Obligations or for the guarantee contained in Section 8.01 or any property subject
thereto. 
 Section 8.04    Guarantee Absolute and Unconditional. To the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, the MLP hereby (a) waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration, notice of acceptance, filing of claims with a court in the event of the merger, insolvency or
bankruptcy of the Borrower or the MLP, and all demands and notices whatsoever, (b) acknowledges that any agreement, instrument or document evidencing the MLP Obligations may be transferred and that the benefit of its obligations hereunder shall
extend to each holder of any agreement, instrument or document evidencing the MLP Obligations without notice to them and (c) covenants that the MLP Obligations will not be discharged except by complete performance thereof. The MLP further
agrees that to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, if at any time all or any part of any payment theretofore applied by any Person to any of the MLP Obligations is, or must be, rescinded or returned for any reason whatsoever, including
without limitation, the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the MLP, such MLP Obligations shall, to the extent that such payment is or must be rescinded or returned, be deemed to have continued in existence notwithstanding such application,
and the MLP Obligations shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, as though such application had not been made. 

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the obligations of the MLP under this guarantee shall be as aforesaid full, irrevocable,
unconditional and absolute and shall not be impaired, modified, discharged, released or limited by any occurrence or condition whatsoever, including, without limitation, (i) any compromise, settlement, release, waiver, renewal, extension,
indulgence or modification of, or any change in, any of the obligations and liabilities of the Borrower or the MLP contained in any of the Borrower Obligations or this Agreement, (ii) any impairment, modification, release or limitation of the
liability of the 

  
 58 












 
Borrower, the MLP or any of their estates in bankruptcy, or any remedy for the enforcement thereof, resulting from the operation of any present or future provision of any applicable bankruptcy
law, as amended, or other statute or from the decision of any court, (iii) the assertion or exercise by the Borrower or the MLP of any rights or remedies under any of the Borrower Obligations or this Agreement or their delay in or failure to
assert or exercise any such rights or remedies, (iv) the assignment or the purported assignment of any property as security for any of the Borrower Obligations, including all or any part of the rights of the Borrower or the MLP under this
Agreement, (v) the extension of the time for payment by the Borrower or the MLP of any payments or other sums or any part thereof owing or payable under any of the terms and provisions of any of the Borrower Obligations or this Agreement or of
the time for performance by the Borrower or the MLP of any other obligations under or arising out of any such terms and provisions or the extension or the renewal of any thereof, (vi) the modification, amendment, or deletion from, or departure
from (in each case whether material or otherwise) of any duty, agreement or obligation of the Borrower or the MLP set forth in this Agreement, (vii) the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, sale or other disposition of all or
substantially all of the assets, marshaling of assets and liabilities, receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, reorganization, arrangement, composition or readjustment of, or other similar proceeding affecting,
the Borrower or any of the MLP or any of their respective assets, or the disaffirmance of any of the Borrower Obligations, or this Agreement in any such proceeding, (viii) the release or discharge of the Borrower or the MLP from the performance
or observance of any agreement, covenant, term or condition contained in any of such instruments by operation of law, (ix) the unenforceability of any of the Borrower Obligations or this Agreement, (x) any change in the name, business,
capital structure, corporate existence, or ownership of the Borrower or the MLP or any other person or entity liable on the obligations guaranteed hereby, (xi) the existence of any collateral or other guaranty, or any exchange, release or non-perfection of any collateral or other guaranty, or (xii) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a legal or equitable discharge of, a surety or the MLP. 

Section 8.05    Reinstatement. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the guarantee
contained in Section 8.01 shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance, or any part thereof, of any of the Borrower Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise
be restored or returned by any Credit Party upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Borrower or the MLP, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or
similar officer for, the Borrower or the MLP or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made. 

Section 8.06    Payments. The MLP hereby guarantees that payments hereunder will be paid to the
Administrative Agent without set-off or counterclaim and without deduction for any taxes and in immediately available funds and in Dollars at the Administrative Agent’s payment office at the address
provided in Section 10.01 of this Agreement. 
 ARTICLE IX 

The Administrative Agent 

Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its agent and irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to
(i) execute and deliver the Loan Documents and accept delivery thereof on its behalf from any Loan Party and (ii) take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such rights, powers and remedies and perform the duties as are delegated to
the Administrative Agent by the terms under such Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. 

  
 59 












 Without limiting the generality of the immediately preceding paragraph, the Administrative
Agent shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority (to the exclusion of the Lenders), and is hereby authorized, to (i) act as the disbursing and collecting agent for the Lenders with respect to all payments and collections arising in
connection with the Loan Documents (including in any other bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding), and each Person making any payment in connection with any Loan Document to any Lender is hereby authorized to make such payment to the
Administrative Agent, (ii) file and prove claims and file other documents necessary or desirable to allow the claims of the Administrative Agent and Lenders with respect to any Borrower Obligation in any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar
proceeding (but not to vote, consent or otherwise act on behalf of such Lender), (iii) except as may be otherwise specified in any Loan Document, exercise all remedies given to the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders with respect to the Loan
Parties, whether under the Loan Documents, applicable law or otherwise and (iv) execute any amendment, consent or waiver under the Loan Documents on behalf of any Lender that has consented in writing to such amendment, consent or waiver. The
Administrative Agent may, upon any term or condition it specifies, delegate or exercise any of its rights, powers and remedies under, and delegate or perform any of its duties or any other action with respect to, any Loan Document by or through any
trustee, co-agent, employee, attorney-in-fact and any other Person (including any Lender). Any such Person shall benefit from
this Article IX to the extent provided by the Administrative Agent. 
 The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall
have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and such bank 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 other Affiliate thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder. 

The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent is acting solely on behalf of the Lenders, with duties that are entirely administrative in nature, notwithstanding the use of the defined term “Administrative Agent”, the terms
“agent” and similar terms in any Loan Document to refer to the Administrative Agent, which terms are used for title purposes only, (b) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless
of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (c) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated
hereby that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing as directed by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in
Section 10.02), and (d) except as expressly set forth herein, 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 bank serving as 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 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 10.02) or in the absence of its own gross negligence
or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender clearly stating that it is a “notice
of default”, 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 this Agreement, (ii) the contents of any
certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein, (iv) the validity, enforceability,
effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Section 4.01 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of
items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent. 

  
 60 












 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 believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may 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 (who may be counsel for the Borrower),
independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. 

The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized by each Loan Party and each Lender to establish procedures (and to amend such procedures from
time to time) to facilitate the administration and servicing of the Loans and other matters incidental thereto and may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more
sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers
through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding clauses shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent. 

Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided in this clause, the Administrative Agent may resign
at any time by notifying the Lenders and the Borrower. The Required Lenders may by notice to the Borrower remove the Administrative Agent. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the
Borrower, to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation or after such
notice of removal, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed
to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrower to a
successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder, the provisions of this
Article and Section 10.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions
taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Administrative Agent. 
 Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that the
extensions of credit made hereunder are commercial loans and not investments in a business enterprise or securities. Each Lender further represents that it is engaged in making, acquiring or holding commercial loans in the ordinary course of its
business and 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
as a Lender, and to make, acquire or hold Loans hereunder. Each Lender shall, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information (which may contain material, non-public information within the meaning of the United States securities laws concerning the MLP, the Borrower and their respective Affiliates) as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its
own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder and in deciding whether or to the extent to which it will continue as a Lender or assign or
otherwise transfer its rights, interests and obligations hereunder. Each Lender, by accepting the benefits of the Loan Documents, agrees that (i) any action taken by Administrative Agent or Required Lenders (or, if expressly


  
 61 












 
required in any Loan Document, a greater proportion of the Lenders) in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents, (ii) any action taken by the Administrative Agent in reliance
upon the instructions of Required Lenders (or, where so required, such greater proportion) and (iii) the exercise by the Administrative Agent or Required Lenders (or, where so required, such greater proportion) of the powers set forth herein or
therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of Lenders. 
 Each
Lender agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent and each of its sub-agents (to the extent not timely reimbursed by any Loan Party) promptly upon demand for its pro rata share of any out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including, without limitation, fees, charges and disbursements of financial, legal and other advisors and any taxes or insurance paid in the
name of, or on behalf of, any Loan Party) incurred by the Administrative Agent or any of its sub-agents in connection with the preparation, syndication, execution, delivery, administration, modification,
amendment, consent, waiver or enforcement of, or the taking of any other action (whether through negotiations, through any work-out, bankruptcy, restructuring or other legal or other proceeding (including,
without limitation, preparation for and/or response to any subpoena or request for document production relating thereto) or otherwise) in respect of, or legal advice with respect to, its rights or responsibilities under, any Loan Document. Each
Lender further agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent and each of its sub-agents (to the extent not timely reimbursed by any Loan Party), ratably according to its pro rata share, from
and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, to the extent not indemnified by the applicable Lender, taxes,
interests and penalties imposed for not properly withholding or backup withholding on payments made to or for the account of any Lender) that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent or any of its sub-agents in any matter relating to or arising out of, in connection with or as a result of any Loan Document or any other act, event or transaction related, contemplated in or attendant to any such document, or,
in each case, any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Administrative Agent or any of its sub-agents under or with respect to the foregoing.

 62 












 Notices sent by hand or overnight courier service, or mailed by certified or registered mail, shall be
deemed to have been given when received; notices sent by facsimile shall be deemed to have been given when sent (except that, if not given during normal business hours for the recipient, shall be deemed to have been given at the opening of business
on the next business day for the recipient). 
 Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other
communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function,
as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement), and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended

on the next business day for the recipient. 
 (b)    Any party hereto may change its address or email address for
notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto. 

Section 10.02    Waivers; Amendments. (a) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent or any
Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any
other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise
have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by clause (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent
shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative
Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time. 
 (b)    Neither this Agreement nor
the Subsidiary Guaranty nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified (except as expressly set forth herein or therein) except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower, the MLP and the
Required Lenders (with a fully executed copy delivered to the Administrative Agent) or by the Borrower, the MLP and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall (i) increase the
Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender (it being understood that a waiver of any mandatory prepayment shall not constitute an increase of any Commitment of any Lender), (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or
reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder, or change the currency of any Loan, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby (provided that only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be
necessary to amend the definition of “Default Rate” or to waive any obligation of the Borrower to pay interest at the Default Rate), (iii) postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan, or any interest thereon,
or any fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby (it being understood that any
waiver of (or amendment to the terms of) any mandatory prepayment shall not constitute a postponement of any date scheduled for the payment of principal or interest or an extension of any Commitment of any Lender); provided that only the
consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary to amend the definition of “Default Rate” or to waive any obligation of the Borrower to pay interest at the Default Rate, (iv) change Section 2.16(b) or
(c) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required by this Agreement or the other Loan Agreements, without the written consent 

  
 63 












 
of each Lender, (v) waive or amend Section 4.01, Article VIII or release the MLP from its obligations (including the MLP Obligations) hereunder or release
any Guarantor from the Subsidiary Guaranty (except as expressly set forth in the Subsidiary Guaranty) or (vi) change any of the provisions of this Section or the definition of Required Lenders or any other provision hereof specifying the number
or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender; provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify
or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent. 

(c)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any amendment, amendment and restatement, refinancing,
replacement or supplement or other modification of the Revolving Credit Agreement or any other loan document in connection therewith that is entered into after the Effective Date and amends, amends and restates, replaces, supplements or otherwise
modifies or adds a representation or warranty, affirmative covenant, negative covenant, financial covenant or event of default (or any defined term used therein) in a manner that is adverse to the Borrower, the MLP or any of their respective
Restricted Subsidiaries (and, in any case, more adverse to the Borrower than any provision contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document) (a “Relevant Amendment”), then such Relevant Amendment shall, automatically, and
without the need for any party hereto to take any further action, be deemed to be incorporated herein, mutatis mutandis, with any necessary modifications to reflect the term loan nature of this Agreement and the different parties hereto until the
earlier of (x) such time as the agreement containing such Relevant Amendment is amended or otherwise modified to delete or nullify such Relevant Amendment and (y) such time as the applicable document containing such Relevant Amendment is
terminated or is of no force and effect. Upon the request of the Required Lenders, the Borrower shall promptly enter into a writing to document such modifications; provided, however, entry into such writing shall not be a condition
precedent to the effectiveness of such modifications. 
 Section 10.03    Expenses; Indemnity; Damage
Waiver. (a) The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates, including the
reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of a single primary counsel for the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates (and local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction), in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for
herein, the preparation and administration of this Agreement or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Lenders and their Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of a single primary counsel for the Lenders and
their Affiliates (and local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction), in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation and administration of this Agreement or any amendments, modifications or waivers
of the provisions hereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated) and (iii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the
Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Affiliate thereof, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Affiliate thereof, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights
in connection with this Agreement, including its rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses
incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans. 
 (b)    The Borrower shall
indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims,
damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution
or delivery of the mandate letter entered into prior to the Effective Date, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their


  
 64 












 
respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan or the use of the proceeds therefrom,
(iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not such claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding is brought by the Borrower or any other Loan
Party or its or their respective equity holders, Affiliates, creditors or any other third Person and whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall
not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. This Section 10.03(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims or damages arising from any
non-Tax claim. 
 (c)    To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount
required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent under clause (a) or (b) of this Section (and without limiting the Borrower’s obligation to do so), each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent such
Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or
related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such. 

(d)    To the extent permitted by applicable law, none of the Borrower, MLP or any Subsidiary Guarantor shall assert, and
each hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement
or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof. 

(e)    All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than 5 Business Days after written demand therefor.

 Section 10.04    Successors and Assigns. 

(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 (i) neither the MLP nor the Borrower 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 the Borrower or the MLP without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section. 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, Participants (to the extent provided in
Section 10.04(c)) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this
Agreement. 

  
 65 












 (b)    (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in clause (b)(ii)
below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees (other than the MLP, the Borrower, their respective Subsidiaries or any of their respective Affiliates or any natural person) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under
this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of: 

(A)    the Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld); provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to an
assignment unless it shall have objected thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received notice thereof; provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a
Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund, a Lender Parent or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee; and 

(B)    the Administrative Agent; provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment
to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, a Lender Parent or an Approved Fund; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing (but subject to Section 10.04(e)), any Initial Lender may assign to one or more
assignees (other than the MLP, the Borrower, their respective Subsidiaries or any of their respective Affiliates, any natural person or a Disqualified Institution) all or a portion of its Loans at the time owing to it and other rights
and obligations under this Agreement (excluding its Commitments) without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, so long as, taking into account such assignment, (i) the Initial Lenders in the aggregate continue to constitute
the “Required Lenders” (taking into account, for the avoidance of doubt, all Credit Exposures and unused Commitments of the Initial Lender, including in its capacity as Delayed Draw Lender) and (ii) the Credit Exposure of the Initial
Lenders in the aggregate is greater than 50% of the sum of the total Credit Exposures of all Lenders at such time. 

(ii)    Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions: 

(A)    except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of
the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to
such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent; provided that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing; 
 (B)    except with respect to any partial assignment permitted in the
proviso set forth in Section 10.04(b)(i), each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement; provided that this
clause shall not be construed to prohibit the assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of Commitments or Loans; 

(C)    the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption,
together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, a duly executed IRS Form W-9 (or other applicable tax form), and all documentation and other information required by regulatory authorities under
applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including, without limitation, the Patriot Act; and 

(D)    the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall designate one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level
information (which may contain material non-public information about the Loan Parties and their Related Parties and their respective securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in
accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and state securities laws. 
 For the
purposes of this Section 10.04(b), the term “Approved Fund” has the following meaning: 

  
 66 












 “Approved Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person) that is
engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business and that is administered, advised or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an Affiliate of a Lender or
(c) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers, advises or manages a Lender. 
 (iii)    Subject to
acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to clause (b)(iv) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest
assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its
obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be
entitled to the benefits of Section 2.13, Section 2.15 and 10.03). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this
Section 10.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 10.04(c). 

(iv)    The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary
agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment 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, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, and the Lenders may
treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower
and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior written notice. 
 (v)    Upon its
receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the processing and recordation fee referred to in this clause (b) of this Section and all documentation and other information required
by regulatory authorities under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including, without limitation, the Patriot Act, and any written consent to such assignment required by clause
(b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register; provided that if either the assigning Lender or the assignee shall have failed to make
any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.05, Section 2.16(d) or Section 10.03(c), the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to accept such
Assignment and Assumption and record the information therein in the Register unless and until such payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement
unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this clause. 
 (c)    Any Lender may, without the consent of
the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (other than the MLP, the Borrower, their respective Subsidiaries or any of their respective Affiliates) (a “Participant”) in all or
a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged;
(B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations; and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such
Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement 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 

  
 67 












 
instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to
Section 10.02(b) that affects such Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.13, Section 2.15 (subject to the
requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.15(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.15(f) shall be delivered to the
participating Lender) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (b) of this Section); provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of
Section 2.17 as if it were an assignee under clause (b) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.13 or
Section 2.15, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs
after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of
Section 2.17(b) with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.08 as though it were a Lender; provided that
such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.16(c) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary
agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents
(the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a
Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans 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. 
 (d)    Any Lender may at any time pledge
or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any other central
bank having jurisdiction over such Lender, 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. 
 (e)    Disqualified
Institutions. (i) No assignment or participation shall be made to any Person that was a Disqualified Institution as of the date (the “Trade Date”) on which (subject to the prior notice requirements set forth in the
definition of “Disqualified Institution”) the assigning Lender entered into a binding agreement to sell and assign or grant a participation in all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to such Person (unless the
Borrower has consented to such assignment or participation in writing, in which case such Person will not be considered a Disqualified Institution for the purpose of such assignment or participation). Any assignment in violation of this clause
(e)(i) shall not be void, but the other provisions of this clause (e) shall apply. 

(ii)    If any assignment or participation is made to any Disqualified Institution without the
Borrower’s prior written consent in violation of clause (i) above, the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to the applicable Disqualified Institution and the Administrative Agent, (A) terminate any
Commitment of such Disqualified Institution and repay all obligations of the Borrower owing to such Disqualified Institution in connection with such Commitment, and/or (B) require such Disqualified Institution to assign, without recourse (in
accordance with and subject 

  
 68 












 
to the restrictions contained in this Section 10.04), all of its interest, rights and obligations under this Agreement at the lower of (x) the principal amount
thereof and (y) the amount that such Disqualified Institution paid to acquire such interests, rights and obligations. 

(iii)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Disqualified Institutions to
whom an assignment or participation is made in violation of clause (i) above (A) will not (x) have the right to receive information, reports or other materials provided to Lenders by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any
other Lender, (y) attend or participate in meetings attended by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, or (z) access any electronic site established for the Lenders or confidential communications from counsel to or financial advisors of
the Administrative Agent or the Lenders and (B) (x) for purposes of any consent to any amendment, waiver or modification of, or any action under, and for the purpose of any direction to the Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake any
action (or refrain from taking any action) under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, each Disqualified Institution will be deemed to have consented in the same proportion as the Lenders that are not Disqualified Institutions consented to such
matter, and (y) for purposes of voting on any bankruptcy or plan of reorganization, each Disqualified Institution party hereto hereby agrees (1) not to vote on such plan of reorganization, (2) if such Disqualified Institution does
vote on such bankruptcy or plan of reorganization notwithstanding the restriction in the foregoing clause (1), such vote will be deemed not to be in good faith and shall be “designated” pursuant to Section 1126(e) of the Bankruptcy
Code (or any similar provision in any other debtor relief law), and such vote shall not be counted in determining whether the applicable class has accepted or rejected such bankruptcy or plan of reorganization in accordance with Section 1126(c)
of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision in any other debtor relief law) and (3) not to contest any request by any party for a determination by a bankruptcy court (or other applicable court of competent jurisdiction) effectuating the
foregoing clause (2). 
 (iv)    The Administrative Agent shall have the right, and the Borrower hereby
expressly authorizes the Administrative Agent, to provide to any Lender requesting the list of Disqualified Institutions provided by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent and any updates thereto from time to time permitted under the definition of
“Disqualified Institution” (collectively, the “DQ List”). 
 (v)    The
Administrative Agent and the Lenders (except for such Lender’s review of the DQ List) shall not be responsible or have any liability for, or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, monitor or enforce, compliance with the provisions hereof
relating to Disqualified Institutions. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall (x) except for such Lender’s review of the DQ List, be obligated to ascertain, monitor or
inquire as to whether any other Lender or Participant or prospective Lender or Participant is a Disqualified Institution or (y) have any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment or participation of Loans, or disclosure of
confidential information, by any other Person to any Disqualified Institution. 
 (vi)    By executing
and delivering an Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder represents and warrants to the parties hereto that it is not a Disqualified Institution. 

Section 10.05    Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the
Borrower herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this
Agreement and the making of any Loans, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any 

  
 69 












 
Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as
the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of
Section 2.13, Section 2.15, Section 10.03 and ARTICLE IX shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof. 

Section 10.06    Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; Electronic Execution. 

(a)    This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of
which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in
Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the
signatures of each of the other required parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. 

(b)    Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by emailed pdf. or any other electronic
means that reproduces an image of the actual executed signature page shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,”
“delivery,” and words of like import in or relating to any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures, deliveries or the keeping of
records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent
and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic
Transactions Act. 
 Section 10.07    Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining
provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. 

Section 10.08    Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each
Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held
and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any of and all the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender,
irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other
rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.

 Section 10.09    Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to
Service of Process. (a) This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York. 

(b)    The Borrower and the MLP each hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the
nonexclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County, Borough of Manhattan and of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, and any
appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment
in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the
Administrative Agent or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement against the Borrower or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction. 

(c)    The Borrower and the MLP each hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally
and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any court referred to in clause (b) of this Section. Each of
the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court. 

(d)    Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in
Section 10.01. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. 

Section 10.10    WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED
BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY).
EACH PARTY HERETO (a) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND
(b) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION. 

Section 10.11    Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for
convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement. 

Section 10.12    Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain
the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being
understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any Governmental Authority (including
any self-regulatory authority, ratings agency, CUSIP bureau or credit insurer), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in
connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same


  
 71 












 
as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any
actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the consent of the Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly
available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower. For the purposes of this Section,
“Information” means all information received from the Borrower relating to the Borrower or its business, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to
disclosure by the Borrower; provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrower after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the
confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person
would accord to its own confidential information. 
 Section 10.13    Material Non-Public Information. 
 (a)    EACH LENDER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT INFORMATION AS
DEFINED IN Section 10.12 FURNISHED TO IT PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY INCLUDE MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION CONCERNING THE BORROWER AND ITS RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE
SECURITIES, AND CONFIRMS THAT IT HAS DEVELOPED COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES REGARDING THE USE OF MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION AND THAT IT WILL HANDLE SUCH MATERIAL
NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THOSE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS. 

(b)    ALL INFORMATION, INCLUDING REQUESTS FOR WAIVERS AND AMENDMENTS, FURNISHED BY THE BORROWER OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE
AGENT PURSUANT TO, OR IN THE COURSE OF ADMINISTERING, THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE SYNDICATE-LEVEL INFORMATION, WHICH MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION ABOUT THE BORROWER, THE LOAN PARTIES AND THEIR
RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES. ACCORDINGLY, EACH LENDER REPRESENTS TO THE BORROWER AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT THAT IT HAS IDENTIFIED IN A WRITTEN NOTICE DELIVERED TO THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT A CREDIT CONTACT WHO MAY RECEIVE
INFORMATION THAT MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW. 

Section 10.14    Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any
time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the
“Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all
Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall
be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the NYFRB Rate to the
date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender. 

  
 72 












 Section 10.15    USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender that is
subject to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Patriot Act”) hereby notifies the Borrower and each other Loan
Party that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower and each other Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and each
other Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrower and each other Loan Party in accordance with the Patriot Act. 

Section 10.16    Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA
Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial
Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

 (a)    the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities
arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and 
 (b)    the
effects of any Bail-in Action on any such liability, including, if applicable: 

(i)    a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability; 

(ii)    a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA
Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any
such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or 
 (iii)    the variation of the terms of such
liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of any EEA Resolution Authority. 

Section 10.17    No Fiduciary Duty, etc. Each of the Borrower and the MLP acknowledges and agrees, and
acknowledges its subsidiaries’ understanding, that no Credit Party will have any obligations except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents and each Credit Party is acting solely in the capacity of an
arm’s length contractual counterparty to the Borrower and the MLP with respect to the Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated therein and not as a financial advisor or a fiduciary to, or an agent of, the Borrower or the MLP or any
other Person. Each of the Borrower and the MLP agrees that it will not assert any claim against any Credit Party based on an alleged breach of fiduciary duty by such Credit Party in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated
hereby. Additionally, each of the Borrower and the MLP acknowledges and agrees that no Credit Party is advising the Borrower as to any legal, tax, investment, accounting, regulatory or any other matters in any jurisdiction. Each of the Borrower and
the MLP shall consult with its own advisors concerning such matters and shall be responsible for making its own independent investigation and appraisal of the transactions contemplated hereby, and the Credit Parties shall have no responsibility or
liability to the Borrower or the MLP with respect thereto. 

  
 73 












 Each of the Borrower and the MLP further acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its
subsidiaries’ understanding, that each Credit Party is a full service securities or banking firm engaged in securities trading and brokerage activities as well as providing investment banking and other financial services. In the ordinary course
of business, any Credit Party may provide investment banking and other financial services to, and/or acquire, hold or sell, for its own accounts and the accounts of customers, equity, debt and other securities and financial instruments (including
bank loans and other obligations) of, the Borrower, the MLP and their Affiliates and other companies with which the Borrower, the MLP and their Affiliates may have commercial or other relationships. With respect to any securities and/or financial
instruments so held by any Credit Party or any of its customers, all rights in respect of such securities and financial instruments, including any voting rights, will be exercised by the holder of the rights, in its sole discretion. 

In addition, each of the Borrower and the MLP acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its subsidiaries’ understanding, that each Credit
Party and its Affiliates may be providing debt financing, equity capital or other services (including financial advisory services) to other companies in respect of which the Borrower, the MLP or their Affiliates may have conflicting interests
regarding the transactions described herein and otherwise. No Credit Party will use confidential information obtained from the Borrower, the MLP or their Affiliates by virtue of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents or its other
relationships with the Borrower, the MLP or their Affiliates in connection with the performance by such Credit Party of services for other companies, and no Credit Party will furnish any such information to other companies. Each of the Borrower and
the MLP also acknowledge that no Credit Party has any obligation to use in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, or to furnish to the Borrower, the MLP and their Affiliates, confidential information obtained from other
companies. 
 Section 10.18    Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the
Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Swap Agreements or any other 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): 

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.

 SUBSIDIARY GUARANTY AGREEMENT 

made by 
 EACH OF THE
GUARANTORS (as defined herein) 
 in favor of 

Oaktree Fund Administration, LLC 

as Administrative Agent 

Dated as of April 19, 2020 
  

 

  
 Exhibit D - 1 












 SUBSIDIARY GUARANTY AGREEMENT, dated as of April 19, 2020, made by the signatories
hereto (together with any other entity that may become a party hereto as provided herein, the “Guarantors” and each a “Guarantor”), in favor of Oaktree Fund Administration, LLC, as Administrative Agent (in such
capacity, the “Administrative Agent”), for the benefit of the banks and other financial institutions or entities (the “Lenders”) parties to the Term Loan Credit Agreement, dated as of April 19, 2020 (the
“Credit Agreement”), among NuStar Logistics, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Borrower”), NuStar Energy L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “MLP”), the Lenders, and the
Administrative Agent. 
 W I T N E S S E T H: 

WHEREAS, the Borrower is a member of an affiliated group of companies that includes each Guarantor; 

WHEREAS, the proceeds of the extensions of credit under the Credit Agreement may be used in part to enable the Borrower to make valuable
transfers to one or more of the Guarantors in connection with the operation of their respective businesses; 
 WHEREAS, the Borrower and the
Guarantors are engaged in related businesses, and each Guarantor will derive substantial direct and indirect benefit from the making of the extensions of credit under the Credit Agreement; 

WHEREAS, it is a condition precedent to the obligation of the Lenders to make their respective extensions of credit to the Borrower under the
Credit Agreement that the Guarantors shall have executed and delivered this Agreement to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders; and 

WHEREAS, it is a condition subsequent to the obligation of the Lenders to make their respective extensions of credit to the Borrower under the
Credit Agreement that certain subsidiaries of the MLP shall from time to time become parties to this Agreement as Guarantors by executing and delivering an Assumption Agreement, in the form attached hereto as Annex 1, to the Administrative Agent for
the ratable benefit of the Lenders. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and to induce the Lenders to continue their
respective extensions of credit to the Borrower under the Credit Agreement, each Guarantor hereby agrees with the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, as follows: 

SECTION 1. DEFINED TERMS 

1.1    Definitions. 

(a)    Unless otherwise defined herein, terms defined in the Credit Agreement and used herein shall have the meanings
given to them in the Credit Agreement. 
 (b)    The following terms shall have the following meanings: 

“Agreement” means this Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement, as the same may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from
time to time. 
 “Borrower Obligations” has the meaning assigned to the term “Borrower Obligations” under the
Credit Agreement. 











 “Guarantor Obligations” means with respect to any Guarantor, the collective
reference to (i) the Borrower Obligations and (ii) all obligations and liabilities of such Guarantor which may arise under or in connection with this Agreement, in each case whether on account of guarantee obligations, reimbursement
obligations, loan obligations, fees, indemnities, costs, expenses or otherwise (including, without limitation, all fees and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent or to the Lenders that are required to be paid by such Guarantor
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document). 
 “Guarantors” means the collective reference to each
Guarantor party to this Agreement. 
 “Obligations” means in the case of each Guarantor, its Guarantor Obligations. 

“Solvent” means, with respect to each Guarantor as of any date of determination, that on such date (a) the fair value of
the assets of such Guarantor is greater than the total amount of liabilities, including contingent liabilities, of such Guarantor, (b) the present fair saleable value of the assets of such Guarantor is not less than the amount that will be
required to pay the probable liability of such Guarantor on its debts, including contingent debts, as they become absolute and matured, (c) such Guarantor does not intend to, and does not believe that it will, incur debts or liabilities,
including contingent debts and liabilities, beyond such Person’s ability to pay such debts and liabilities as they mature and (d) such Guarantor is not engaged in a business or a transaction, and is not about to engage in a business or a
transaction, for which such Guarantor’s property would constitute an unreasonably small capital. The amount of any contingent liability at any time shall be computed as the amount that, in light of all of the facts and circumstances existing at
such time, represents the amount that can reasonably be expected to become an actual or matured liability. 

1.2    Other Definitional Provisions. 

(a)    The words “hereof,” “herein”, “hereto” and “hereunder” and words of similar
import when used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement, and Section, Schedule and Annex references are to this Agreement unless otherwise specified. 

(b)    The meanings given to terms defined herein shall be equally applicable to both the singular and plural forms of
such terms. 
 (c)    A reference to any Person hereunder shall be deemed to include a reference to such Person’s
successor’s, endorsees, transferees and assigns. 
 SECTION 2. GUARANTEE 

2.1    Guarantee. 

(a)    Each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, (i) absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably,
guarantees to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders and their respective successors, endorsees, permitted transferees and permitted assigns, the prompt and complete payment and performance by the Borrower and the Guarantors
when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the Borrower Obligations and (ii) indemnifies and holds harmless the Administrative Agent and each Lender from, and agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent and each
Lender, all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) incurred by the Administrative Agent or such Lender in enforcing any of its rights under this Agreement. The guarantee in this
Section 2.1 is (1) a continuing guarantee, and shall apply to all Obligations owing at any time whenever arising or incurred and shall remain in full force and effect until the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid
in full in cash and (2) a guarantee of payment and not collection and the liability of each Guarantor is primary and not secondary. Each Guarantor agrees that notwithstanding any stay, injunction


  
 Exhibit D - 3 












 
or other prohibition preventing the payment by the Borrower of all or any portion of the Borrower Obligations and notwithstanding that all or any portion of the Borrower Obligations may be
unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving the Borrower, such Borrower Obligations shall nevertheless be due and payable by such Guarantor for the purposes of this Agreement at
the time such Borrower Obligations would be payable by the Borrower under the provisions of the Credit Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any enforcement of this Agreement with respect to the rights of any Lender may be accomplished by the
Administrative Agent acting on behalf of such Lender. 
 (b)    Anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the
contrary notwithstanding, the maximum liability of each Guarantor hereunder shall in no event exceed the amount which can be guaranteed by such Guarantor under applicable federal and state laws relating to the insolvency of debtors (after giving
effect to the right of contribution established in Section 2.2). 
 (c)    Each Guarantor
agrees that the Borrower Obligations may at any time and from time to time exceed the amount of the liability of such Guarantor hereunder without impairing the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or affecting the rights
and remedies of the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder. 
 (d)    The guarantee contained in this
Section 2.1 shall remain in full force and effect until all the Borrower Obligations and the obligations of each Guarantor under the guarantee contained in this Section 2.1 shall have been satisfied by indefeasible
payment in full in cash and the Commitments shall be terminated. 
 (e)    No payment made by the Borrower, any of the
Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other Person or received or collected by the Administrative Agent or any Lender from the Borrower, any of the Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any set-off or appropriation or application at any time or from time to time in reduction of or in payment of the Borrower Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of any
Guarantor hereunder, which shall, notwithstanding any such payment (other than any payment made by such Guarantor in respect of the Borrower Obligations or any payment received or collected from such Guarantor in respect of the Borrower
Obligations), remain liable for the Borrower Obligations up to the maximum liability of such Guarantor hereunder until, subject to Section 2.6, the Borrower Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full in cash and the
Commitments are terminated. 
 2.2    Right of Contribution. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that to the extent that
a Guarantor shall have paid more than its proportionate share of any payment made hereunder, such Guarantor shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against any other Guarantor hereunder which has not paid its proportionate share
of such payment. Each Guarantor’s right of contribution shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 2.3. The provisions of this Section 2.2 shall in no respect limit the
obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and each Guarantor shall remain liable to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for the full amount guaranteed by such Guarantor hereunder. 

2.3    No Subrogation. Notwithstanding any payment made by any Guarantor hereunder or any set-off or application of funds of any Guarantor by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, no Guarantor shall be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against the
Borrower or any other Guarantor (or any other guarantor) or any collateral security or guarantee or right of offset held by the Administrative Agent or any Lender for the payment of the Borrower Obligations, nor shall any Guarantor seek or be
entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from the Borrower or any other Guarantor (or any other guarantor) in respect of payments made by such Guarantor hereunder 

  
 Exhibit D - 4 












 
until all amounts owing to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders by the Borrower on account of the Borrower Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full in cash and the Commitments are
terminated. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Borrower Obligations shall not have been paid in full in cash, such amount shall be held by such Guarantor in trust for the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders, segregated from other funds of such Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Guarantor, be promptly turned over to the Administrative Agent in the exact form received by such Guarantor (duly indorsed
by such Guarantor to the Administrative Agent, if required), to be applied against the Borrower Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, pursuant to Section 2.16(b) of the Credit Agreement. 

2.4    Amendments, Etc. with respect to the Borrower Obligations. Each Guarantor shall remain obligated hereunder
notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against any Guarantor and without notice to or further assent by any Guarantor, any demand for payment of any of the Borrower Obligations made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender may be
rescinded by the Administrative Agent or such Lender and any of the Borrower Obligations continued, and the Borrower Obligations, or the liability of any other Person upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee therefor or
right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, and the Credit Agreement
and the other Loan Documents and any other documents executed and delivered in connection therewith may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, as the Administrative Agent (or the Required Lenders or all Lenders, as
the case may be) may deem advisable from time to time, and any collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any time held by the Administrative Agent or any Lender for the payment of the Borrower Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived,
surrendered or released. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien at any time held by it as security for the Borrower Obligations or for the guarantee contained in this
Section 2 or any property subject thereto. 
 2.5    Guarantee Absolute and
Unconditional. 
 (a)    Each Guarantor waives any and all notice of (i) the creation, renewal, extension or
accrual of any of the Borrower Obligations and (ii) proof of reliance by the Administrative Agent or any Lender upon (A) the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or (B) acceptance of the guarantee contained
in thisSection 2. The Borrower Obligations shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon the guarantee contained in thisSection 2. All dealings
between the Borrower and any of the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, on the other hand, likewise shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon the guarantee contained in
this Section 2. 
 (b)    Each Guarantor waives diligence, presentment, protest, demand for
payment, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon the Borrower or any of the Guarantors with respect to the Borrower Obligations. 

(c)    Each Guarantor understands and agrees that the guarantee contained in thisSection 2 shall be construed as a
continuing, absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment without regard to: 
 (i)    the validity,
regularity or enforceability of all or any part of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, any of the Borrower Obligations or any other agreement or collateral security therefor or guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at any
time or from time to time held by the Administrative Agent or any Lender; 

  
 Exhibit D - 5 












 (ii)    any defense,
set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by the Borrower or any other Person against the Administrative Agent or any Lender;

 (iii)    any extension, other indulgence, renewal, settlement, discharge, compromise, waiver,
subordination or release in respect of any Borrower Obligation, security, Person or otherwise; 

(iv)    any modification or amendment of, or supplement to, or deletion from, or departure from the Loan
Documents or Borrower Obligations, including any increase or decrease in the principal, the rates of interest or other amounts payable thereunder; 

(v)    any release, non-perfection or invalidity of any direct or
indirect security for any Borrower Obligation; 
 (vi)    any change in the existence, structure,
constitution, name, objects, powers, business, control or ownership of the Borrower or any other Person, or any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting the Borrower or any other Person or its assets; 

(vii)    any limitation, postponement, prohibition, subordination or other restriction on the rights of the
Administrative Agent or the Lenders to payment of the Borrower Obligations; 
 (viii)    any release,
substitution or addition of any cosigner, endorser or other guarantor of the Borrower Obligations; 

(ix)    any defense arising by reason of any failure of the Borrower to make any presentment, demand for
performance, notice of nonperformance, protest, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration and any other notice, including notice of all of the following: acceptance of this Agreement, partial payment or
non-payment of all or any part of the Borrower Obligations and the existence, creation, or incurrence of new or additional Borrower Obligations; 

(x)    any defense arising by reason of any failure of the Administrative Agent to (A) proceed against
the Borrower or any other Person, (B) proceed against, apply or exhaust any security held from the Borrower or any other Person for the Borrower Obligations, (C) proceed against, apply or exhaust any security held from any Guarantor or any
other Person for this Agreement or (D) pursue any other remedy in the power of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders whatsoever; 

(xi)    any law which provides that the obligation of a guarantor must neither be larger in amount nor in
other respects more burdensome than that of the principal obligation or which reduces a guarantor’s obligation in proportion to the principal obligation; 

(xii)    any defense arising by reason of (A) any incapacity, lack of authority, or other defense of
the Borrower or any other Person, (B) any limitation, postponement, prohibition on the Administrative Agent’s or the Lenders’ right to payment of the Borrower Obligations or any part thereof, (C) the cessation from any cause
whatsoever of the liability of the Borrower or any other Person with respect to all or any part of the Borrower Obligations or (D) any act or omission of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders which directly or indirectly results in the
discharge or release of the Borrower or any other Person of all or any part of the Borrower Obligations or any security or guarantee therefore, whether by contract, operation of law or otherwise (other than acceptance by the Administrative Agent or
the Lenders of the full amount of Borrower Obligations paid in cash and the Commitments are terminated); 

  
 Exhibit D - 6 












 (xiii)    any defense arising by failure by the
Administrative Agent or the Lenders to obtain, perfect or maintain a perfected or prior (or any) security interest in or lien or encumbrance upon any property of the Borrower or any other Person, or by reason of any interest of the Borrower in any
property, whether as owner thereof or the holder of a security interest therein or lien or encumbrance thereon, being invalidated, voided, declared fraudulent or preferential or otherwise set aside, or by reason of any impairment by the Borrower of
any right to recourse or collateral; 
 (xiv)    any defense arising by reason of the failure of the
Borrower to marshal any assets; 
 (xv)    any defense based upon any failure of the Administrative Agent
or any Lender to give to the Borrower or any Guarantor notice of any sale or other disposition of any property securing any or all of the Obligations, or any defect in any notice that may be given in connection with any sale or other disposition of
any such property, or any failure of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to comply with any provision of applicable law in enforcing any security interest in or lien upon any such property, including any failure of the Administrative Agent or any
Lender to dispose of any such property in a commercially reasonable manner; 
 (xvi)    any dealing
whatsoever with the Borrower or other Person or any security, whether negligently or not, or any failure to do so; 

(xvii)    any defense based upon or arising out any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium,
arrangement, readjustment of debt, liquidation or dissolution proceeding commenced by or against the Borrower or any other Person, including any discharge of, or bar against collecting, any of the Borrower Obligations, in or as a result of any such
proceeding; or 
 (xviii)    any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent, any Lender, any Guarantor or any other Person or any other circumstance whatsoever, whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing, which might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.5, constitute a
legal or equitable discharge, limitation or reduction of such Guarantor’s obligations hereunder (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all of the Borrower Obligations). 

(d)    The foregoing provisions apply (and the foregoing waivers will be effective) even if the effect of any action (or
failure to take any action) by the Administrative Agent or any Lender is to destroy or diminish a Guarantor’s subrogation rights, such Guarantor’s right to proceed against the Borrower for reimbursement, such Guarantor’s right to
recover contribution from any other Guarantor or any other right or remedy. When making any demand hereunder or otherwise pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against any Guarantor, the Administrative Agent or any Lender may, but shall be

privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by the Administrative Agent or any Lender of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be

exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law. 
 6.4    Enforcement Expenses; Indemnification.
