 Section 1.6 Rates. The Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any
responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, (a) the continuation of, administration of, submission of, calculation of or any other matter related to the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Adjusted Term SOFR or Term SOFR, or any
component definition thereof or rates referred to in the definition thereof, or with respect to any alternative, successor or replacement rate thereto (including any Benchmark Replacement), including whether the composition or characteristics of any
such alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement), as it may or may not be adjusted pursuant to Section 13.1(c), will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of,
or have the same volume or liquidity as, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Adjusted Term SOFR, Term SOFR or any other Benchmark prior to its discontinuance or unavailability, or (b) the effect, implementation or composition of any Conforming
Changes. The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Adjusted Term SOFR, Term SOFR, any alternative, successor or replacement rate
(including any Benchmark Replacement) or any relevant adjustments thereto and such transactions may be adverse to the Borrower. The Administrative Agent may select information sources or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain the Term
SOFR Reference Rate, Adjusted Term SOFR, Term SOFR, or any other Benchmark, any component definition thereof or rates referred to in the definition thereof, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to the
Borrower, any Bank or any other person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or
in equity), for any error or calculation of any such rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information source or service. 

Section 1.7 Divisions. For all purposes under the Loan Papers, in connection with any division or plan of division under Delaware
law (or any comparable event under a different jurisdiction’s laws): (a) if any asset, right, obligation or liability of any Person becomes the asset, right, obligation or liability of a different Person, then it shall be deemed to have been
transferred from the original Person to the subsequent Person, and (b) if any new Person comes into existence, such new Person shall be deemed to have been organized on the first date of its existence by the holders of its Equity Interests at
such time. 
 ARTICLE II 

THE CREDIT FACILITIES 

Section 2.1 Commitments. 

(a) Subject to Section 2.1(c) and the other terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, each Bank severally
agrees to lend to Borrower from time to time prior to the Termination Date amounts not to exceed in the aggregate at any one time outstanding, the amount of such Bank’s Commitment less such Bank’s Letter of Credit Exposure, to the extent
any such Loan would not cause the Outstanding Revolving Credit to exceed the Total Commitment. Each Borrowing shall (i) be in an aggregate principal amount of $500,000 or any larger integral multiple of $100,000, and (ii) be made from each
Bank ratably in accordance with its respective Applicable Percentage. Subject to the foregoing limitations and the other provisions of this Agreement, Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.1(a), repay amounts borrowed
under this Section 2.1(a) and request new Borrowings under this Section 2.1(a). 

  
 44 












 (b) The Letter of Credit Issuer will issue Letters of Credit, from time to time during the
Letter of Credit Period upon request by Borrower, for the account of Borrower, so long as (i) the sum of (A) the total Letter of Credit Exposure of all Banks then existing, and (B) the amount of the requested Letter of Credit, does
not exceed the lesser of (x) $10,000,000 and (y) the Total Commitment (i.e., the least of (x) the Aggregate Maximum Credit Amounts, (y) the then effective Borrowing Base and (z) the then effective Aggregate Elected Commitment
Amount), and (ii) Borrower would be entitled to a Borrowing under Section 2.1(c) and Section 6.2 in the amount of the requested Letter of Credit; provided that, the Letter of Credit
Issuer shall not be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if a default of any Bank’s obligations to fund under Section 2.1 exists or any Bank is at such time a Defaulting Bank hereunder, unless the Letter
of Credit Issuer has entered into arrangements satisfactory to Letter of Credit Issuer with Borrower or such Bank to eliminate the Letter of Credit Issuer’s risk with respect to such Bank. Not less than three Business Days prior to the
requested date of issuance of any such Letter of Credit, Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Letter of Credit Issuer, the Letter of Credit Issuer’s customary letter of credit application (“Letter of Credit Application”).
Each Letter of Credit shall be in form and substance acceptable to Letter of Credit Issuer. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the Letter of Credit Issuer and Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued, the rules of the ISP shall apply to each
standby Letter of Credit. No Letter of Credit shall have an expiration date later than the earlier of (1) five Business Days prior to the Termination Date and (2) one year from the date of issuance (subject to any applicable automatic
renewal provision) and no Letter of Credit shall be issued in a currency other than U.S. Dollars. Upon the date of issuance of a Letter of Credit, the Letter of Credit Issuer shall be deemed to have sold to each other Bank, and each other Bank shall
be deemed to have unconditionally and irrevocably purchased from the Letter of Credit Issuer, a non-recourse participation in the related Letter of Credit and Letter of Credit Exposure equal to such
Bank’s Applicable Percentage of such Letter of Credit and Letter of Credit Exposure. Upon request of any Bank, Administrative Agent shall provide notice to each Bank by telephone or facsimile setting forth each Letter of Credit issued and
outstanding pursuant to the terms hereof and specifying the Letter of Credit Issuer, beneficiary and expiration date of each such Letter of Credit, each Bank’s participation percentage of each such Letter of Credit and the actual dollar amount
of each Bank’s participation held by Letter of Credit Issuer(s) thereof for such Bank’s account and risk. In connection with the issuance of Letters of Credit hereunder, Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent in respect of such Letters
of Credit (a) the applicable Letter of Credit Fee in accordance with Section 2.12, (b) the applicable Letter of Credit Fronting Fee in accordance with Section 2.12, and (c) all customary
administrative, issuance, amendment, payment, and negotiation charges of the Letter of Credit Issuer; provided that, no such Letter of Credit Fee shall accrue or be deemed to have accrued, or be owing or payable by Borrower to Administrative
Agent or any Letter of Credit Issuer for the account of any Defaulting Bank with respect to its share of such Letter of Credit Fee in the event Borrower has entered into an arrangement with or provided cash collateral to the Letter of Credit Issuer
with respect to the Letter of Credit Issuer’s risk with respect to such Bank’s obligation to fund its Applicable Percentage share of the aggregate existing Letter of Credit Exposure with respect to such Letter of Credit. Administrative
Agent shall distribute the Letter of Credit Fee to Banks in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages, and Administrative Agent shall distribute the Letter of Credit Fronting Fee, and the charges described in clause (c) of the
immediately preceding sentence, to the Letter of Credit Issuer for its own account. Any increase, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be the issuance of a new Letter of Credit for purposes of this
Section 2.1(b). 

  
 45 












 Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Borrower shall, on the next succeeding Business
Day, deposit with Administrative Agent such funds as Administrative Agent may request, up to a maximum amount equal to the aggregate existing Letter of Credit Exposure of all Banks. Any funds so deposited shall be held by Administrative Agent for
the ratable benefit of all Banks as security for the outstanding Letter of Credit Exposure and the other Obligations, and Borrower will, in connection therewith, execute and deliver such Security Instruments with respect to such deposit of funds in
form and substance satisfactory to Administrative Agent which it may, in its discretion, require. As drafts or demands for payment are presented under any Letter of Credit, Administrative Agent shall apply such funds to satisfy such drafts or
demands. When all Letters of Credit have expired and the Obligations have been repaid in full (and the Commitments of all Banks have terminated) or such Event of Default has been cured to the satisfaction of Majority Banks, Administrative Agent
shall release to Borrower any remaining funds deposited under this Section 2.1(b). Whenever Borrower is required to make deposits under this Section 2.1(b) and fail to do so on the day such deposit
is due, Administrative Agent or any Bank may, without notice to Borrower, make such deposit (whether by application of proceeds of any collateral for the Obligations, by transfers from other accounts maintained with any Bank or otherwise) using any
funds then available to any Bank of Borrower, any guarantor, or any other Person liable for all or any part of the Obligations. 
 In the
event there exists one or more Defaulting Banks, Borrower shall, on the next succeeding Business Day following request from Administrative Agent, deposit with Administrative Agent such funds as Administrative Agent may reasonably request, up to a
maximum Letter of Credit Exposure attributable to such Defaulting Bank(s) as security for such Defaulting Bank’s Letter of Credit Exposure. As drafts or demands for payment are presented under any Letter of Credit, Administrative Agent shall
apply such funds to satisfy drafts or demands attributable to such Defaulting Bank(s). When there are no longer any Defaulting Banks or no longer any Letters of Credit outstanding, Administrative Agent shall release to Borrower any remaining funds
deposited under this paragraph. 
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Borrower hereby agrees to reimburse the Letter
of Credit Issuer, in immediately available funds, for any payment or disbursement made by the Letter of Credit Issuer under any Letter of Credit issued by it (x) on the same Business Day the Letter of Credit Issuer makes demand for such
reimbursement if such demand is made at or prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York, New York time) and (y) on the next Business Day after such demand for reimbursement if such demand is made after 11:00 a.m. (New York, New York time). Payment shall be
made by Borrower with interest on the amount so paid or disbursed by the Letter of Credit Issuer from and including the date payment is made under any Letter of Credit to but excluding the date of payment, at the lesser of (i) the Maximum
Lawful Rate, or (ii) the Default Rate. The obligations of Borrower under this paragraph will continue until all Letters of Credit have expired and all reimbursement obligations with respect thereto have been paid in full by Borrower and until
all other Obligations shall have been paid in full. 
 The reimbursement obligations of Borrower under this
Section 2.1(b) shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of the Loan Papers (including any Letter of Credit Application executed pursuant to this
Section 2.1(b)) under and in all circumstances whatsoever and Borrower hereby waives any defense to the payment of such reimbursement obligations based on any circumstance whatsoever,


  
 46 












 
including in any case, the following circumstances: (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit; (ii) the existence of any claim,
set-off, counterclaim, defense or other rights which Borrower or any other Person may have at any time against any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit, Administrative Agent, any Bank or any other Person,
whether in connection with any Letter of Credit or any unrelated transaction; (iii) any statement, draft or other documentation presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any
statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect whatsoever; (iv) payment by the Letter of Credit Issuer under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter
of Credit; or (v) any other circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided that the Letter of Credit Issuer shall not be excused from liability to Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as
opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by Borrower that are caused by the Letter of Credit Issuer’s failure to exercise due care when
determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof or by the Letter of Credit Issuer’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. 

As among Borrower on the one hand, Administrative Agent, and each Bank, on the other hand, Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and
omissions of, or misuse of Letters of Credit by, the beneficiary of such Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, none of Administrative Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer or any Bank shall be responsible for: 

(i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any Person in connection with the
application for and issuance of and presentation of drafts with respect to any Letter of Credit, even if it should prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; 

(ii) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign the Letter of Credit or the
rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; 

(iii) the failure of the beneficiary of the Letter of Credit to comply duly with conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of
Credit; 
 (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, or
otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; 
 (v) errors in interpretation of technical terms; 

(vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any Letter of Credit or of
the proceeds thereof; 
 (vii) the misapplication by the beneficiary of the Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such
Letter of Credit; or 
 (viii) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of Administrative Agent or any Bank. 

  
 47 












 In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with
respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the Letter of Credit Issuer may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without
responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit. 

Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the Letter of Credit Issuer through Administrative Agent upon demand for all amounts paid under
Letters of Credit as set forth in the third paragraph of this Section 2.1(b); provided that, if Borrower for any reason fails to reimburse the Letter of Credit Issuer in full when such reimbursement is required under
such paragraph, Banks shall reimburse the Letter of Credit Issuer in accordance with each Bank’s Applicable Percentage for amounts due and unpaid from Borrower as set forth herein below; provided further that, no such reimbursement made
by Banks shall discharge Borrower’s obligations to reimburse the Letter of Credit Issuer. All reimbursement amounts payable by any Bank under this Section 2.1(b) shall include interest thereon at the Federal Funds
Effective Rate, from the date of the payment of such amounts by the Letter of Credit Issuer to but excluding the date of reimbursement by such Bank. No Bank shall be liable for the performance or nonperformance of the obligations of any other Bank
under this paragraph. The reimbursement obligations of Banks under this paragraph shall continue after the Termination Date and shall survive termination of this Agreement and the other Loan Papers. 

Unless otherwise specified herein, the amount of a Letter of Credit at any time shall be deemed to be the stated amount of such Letter of
Credit in effect at such time; provided that, with respect to any Letter of Credit that, by its terms or the terms of any Letter of Credit Application or other document related to such Letter of Credit, provides for one or more automatic
increases in the stated amount thereof, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be the maximum stated amount of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum stated amount is in effect at
such time. 
 In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Letter of Credit Application, the terms hereof
shall control. 
 (c) No Bank will be obligated to lend to Borrower or incur Letter of Credit Exposure under this
Section 2.1, and Borrower shall not be entitled to borrow hereunder or obtain Letters of Credit hereunder (i) if the amount of the Outstanding Revolving Credit exceeds the Total Commitment at such time, or (ii) in
an amount which would cause the Outstanding Revolving Credit to exceed the Total Commitment. Nothing in this Section 2.1(c) shall be deemed to limit any Bank’s obligation to reimburse the Letter of Credit Issuer with
respect to such Bank’s participation in Letters of Credit issued by the Letter of Credit Issuer as provided in Section 2.1(b). 

Section 2.2 Method of Borrowing. 

(a) In order to request any Borrowing hereunder, Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy to Administrative Agent a duly completed Request for
Borrowing (i) prior to 10:00 a.m. (Central time) on the Borrowing Date of a proposed Adjusted Base Rate Borrowing, and (ii) prior to 11:00 a.m. (Central time) at least three (3) U.S. Government Securities Business Days before the Borrowing
Date of a proposed SOFR Borrowing. Each such Request for Borrowing shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto, and shall specify: 

(A) whether such Borrowing is to be an Adjusted Base Rate Borrowing or a SOFR Borrowing; 

  
 48 












 (B) the Borrowing Date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day; 

(C) the aggregate amount of such Borrowing; 

(D) in the case of a SOFR Borrowing, the duration of the Interest Period applicable thereto, subject to the provisions of the definition of
Interest Period; 
 (E) the Outstanding Revolving Credit exposure on the date thereof; and 

(F) the pro forma Outstanding Revolving Credit exposure (giving effect to the requested Borrowing). 

Each Request for Borrowing shall constitute a representation by Borrower that the amount of the requested Borrowing shall not cause the total
Outstanding Revolving Credit to exceed the Total Commitment (i.e., the least of (x) the Aggregate Maximum Credit Amounts, (y) the then effective Borrowing Base and (z) the then effective Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount). 

(b) Upon receipt of a Request for Borrowing described in Section 2.2(a), Administrative Agent shall promptly notify
each Bank (as applicable) of the contents thereof and the amount of the Borrowing to be loaned by such Bank pursuant thereto, and such Request for Borrowing shall not thereafter be revocable by Borrower. 

(c) Not later than 12:00 p.m. (Central time) on the date of each Borrowing, each Bank shall make available its Applicable Percentage of such
Borrowing, in funds immediately available to Administrative Agent at its address set forth on Schedule 1 hereto. Unless Administrative Agent determines that any applicable condition specified in
Section 6.2 has not been satisfied, Administrative Agent will make the funds so received from Banks available to Borrower at Administrative Agent’s aforesaid address or, if requested by Borrower, by wire transfer of
such funds as specified by Borrower. 
 Section 2.3 Method of Requesting Letters of Credit. 

(a) In order to request any Letter of Credit hereunder, Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy to the Letter of Credit Issuer with a copy to
Administrative Agent a duly completed Request for Letter of Credit prior to 10:00 a.m. (Central time) at least three Business Days before the date specified for issuance of such Letter of Credit. Each Request for Letters of Credit shall be
substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto, shall be accompanied by the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer’s duly completed and executed Letter of Credit Application and shall specify: 

(i) the requested date for issuance of such Letter of Credit; 

  
 49 












 (ii) the terms of such requested Letter of Credit, including the name and address of the
beneficiary, the stated amount, the expiration date and the text of the certificate to be presented along with drafts under such Letter of Credit; 

(iii) the Outstanding Revolving Credit exposure on the date thereof; and 

(iv) the pro forma total Outstanding Revolving Credit exposure (giving effect to the requested Letter of Credit issuance). 

A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and each Request for Letter of Credit in connection therewith shall
constitute a representation and warranty by Borrower that), after giving effect to the requested issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, as applicable, (A) the sum of (1) the total Letter of Credit Exposure of all Banks then existing
and (2) the amount of the issued, amended, renewed or extended Letter of Credit Exposure does not exceed the lesser of (x) $10,000,000 and (y) the Total Commitment (i.e., the least of (x) the Aggregate Maximum Credit Amounts,
(y) the then effective Borrowing Base and (z) the then effective Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount) and (B) the total Outstanding Revolving Credit exposure shall not exceed the Total Commitment (i.e., the least of (x) the
Aggregate Maximum Credit Amounts, (y) the then effective Borrowing Base and (z) the then effective Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount). 

(b) Upon receipt of a Request for Letter of Credit described in Section 2.3(a), Administrative Agent shall promptly
notify each Bank of the contents thereof, including the amount of the requested Letter of Credit, and such Request for Letter of Credit shall not thereafter be revocable by Borrower. 

(c) No later than 12:00 p.m. (Central time) on the date specified for the issuance of such Letter of Credit, unless Administrative Agent
notifies the Letter of Credit Issuer that any applicable condition precedent set forth in Section 6.2 has not been satisfied, the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer will issue and deliver such Letter of Credit pursuant to
the instructions of Borrower. 
 Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Letter of Credit Issuer shall have no obligation hereunder to issue,
and shall not issue, any Letter of Credit (1) the proceeds of which would be made available to any Person (A) to fund any activity or business of or with any Sanctioned Person, or in any country or territory that, at the time of such
funding, is the subject of any Sanctions or (B) in any manner that would result in a violation of any Sanctions by any party to this Agreement, (2) if any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator, in either
case, with jurisdiction over the Letter of Credit Issuer, shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the Letter of Credit Issuer from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Law relating to the Letter of Credit Issuer or any Governmental
Authority with jurisdiction over the Letter of Credit Issuer shall prohibit, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the Letter of Credit Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit
any reserve or capital requirement (for which the Letter of Credit Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Effective Date, or shall impose upon the Letter of 

  
 50 












 
Credit Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Effective Date and which the Letter of Credit Issuer in good faith deems material to it or (3) if the
issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of the Letter of Credit Issuer applicable to letters of credit generally under similar circumstances for similarly situated borrowers; provided that, notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, (x) the Dodd Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith or in the implementation thereof, and
(y) all requests, rules, guidelines, or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities,
in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed not to be in effect on the Effective Date for purposes of clause (2) above, regardless of the date enacted, adopted, issued or implemented. 

Section 2.4 Notes. Upon request by any Bank, the Loans made by such Bank shall be evidenced by a single promissory note of
Borrower in substantially the form of Exhibit A, dated, in the case of (a) any Bank party hereto as of the date of this Agreement, as of the date of this Agreement, (b) any Bank that becomes a party hereto pursuant to an Assignment
and Assumption Agreement, as of the effective date of the Assignment and Assumption Agreement, or (c) any Additional Bank that becomes a party hereto in connection with an increase in the Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount pursuant to
Section 2.15(b), as of the effective date of such increase, in each case, payable to such Bank in a principal amount equal to its Maximum Credit Amount as in effect on such date, and otherwise duly completed. In the event
that any Bank’s Maximum Credit Amount increases or decreases for any reason, Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered on the effective date of such increase or decrease (to the extent so requested), a new Note payable to such Bank in a
principal amount equal to its Maximum Credit Amount after giving effect to such increase or decrease, and otherwise duly completed. Borrower will be obligated, as provided herein, to repay the Loans made by each Bank regardless of whether or not
such Bank requests a Note. 
 Section 2.5 Interest Rates; Payments; No Premiums. 

(a) The principal amount of the Loans outstanding from day to day which is the subject of an Adjusted Base Rate Tranche shall bear interest
(computed on the basis of actual days elapsed in a 365 or 366 day year, as applicable) at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (i) the Adjusted Base Rate, plus (ii) the Applicable Margin; provided that in no event shall the rate
charged hereunder or under the Notes exceed the Maximum Lawful Rate. Interest on any portion of the principal of the Loans subject to an Adjusted Base Rate Tranche shall be payable as it accrues on the last day of each Fiscal Quarter. 

(b) The principal amount of the Loans outstanding from day to day which is the subject of a SOFR Tranche shall bear interest (computed on the
basis of actual days elapsed and as if each calendar year consisted of 360 days, unless such computation would exceed the Maximum Lawful Rate in which case interest shall be computed on the basis of actual days elapsed in a 365 or 366 day year, as
applicable) for the Interest Period applicable thereto at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (i) the Adjusted Term SOFR, plus (ii) the Applicable Margin; provided, that in no event shall the rate charged hereunder or under the
Notes exceed the Maximum Lawful Rate. Interest on any portion of the Loans subject to a SOFR Tranche having an Interest Period of six (6) or twelve (12) months shall be payable on the last day of such Interest Period and on the last day of
the initial three-month period and, as applicable, each subsequent, three-month period during such Interest Period. 
  

  
 51 












 (c) So long as no Default or Event of Default shall be continuing, subject to the provisions
of this Section 2.5, Borrower shall have the option of having all or any portion of the principal outstanding under the Loans borrowed by it be the subject of an Adjusted Base Rate Tranche or one or more SOFR Tranches,
which shall bear interest at rates based upon the Adjusted Base Rate and the Adjusted Term SOFR, respectively (each such option is referred to herein as an “Interest Option”); provided that each Tranche shall be in a minimum amount
of $500,000 and shall be in an amount which is an integral multiple of $100,000. Each change in an Interest Option made pursuant to this Section 2.5(c) shall, for purposes of determining how much of the Loans are the
subject of an Adjusted Base Rate Tranche and how much of the Loans are the subject of SOFR Tranches only (and for no other purpose), be deemed both a payment in full of the portion of the principal of the Loans which was the subject of the Adjusted
Base Rate Tranche or SOFR Tranche from which such change was made and a Borrowing (notwithstanding that the unpaid principal amount of the Loans is not changed thereby) of the portion of the principal of the Loans which is the subject of the
Adjusted Base Rate Tranche or SOFR Tranche into which such change was made. Prior to the termination of each Interest Period with respect to each SOFR Tranche, Borrower shall give written notice (a “Rollover Notice”) in the form of
Exhibit D attached hereto to Administrative Agent of the Interest Option which shall be applicable to such portion of the principal of the Loans upon the expiration of such Interest Period. Such Rollover Notice shall be
given to Administrative Agent by the time a Request for Borrowing would be required under Section 2.2 if Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election, prior to the termination of the
Interest Period then expiring. If Borrower shall specify a SOFR Tranche, such Rollover Notice shall also specify the length of the succeeding Interest Period (subject to the provisions of the definitions of such term) selected by Borrower. Each
Rollover Notice shall be irrevocable and effective upon notification thereof to Administrative Agent. If the required Rollover Notice shall not have been timely received by Administrative Agent, Borrower shall be deemed to have elected that the
principal of any Loan subject to the Interest Period then expiring be the subject of an Adjusted Base Rate Tranche upon the expiration of such Interest Period, and Borrower will be deemed to have given Administrative Agent notice of such election.
Subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 2.5(c) on the minimum amount of SOFR Tranches, Borrower shall have the right to convert all or part of the Adjusted Base Rate Tranche to a SOFR Tranche by giving
Administrative Agent a Rollover Notice of such election at least three (3) U.S. Government Securities Business Days prior to the date on which Borrower elects to make such conversion (a “Conversion Date”). The Conversion Date
selected by Borrower shall be a U.S. Government Securities Business Day. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.5 to the contrary, no portion of the principal of any Loan which is the subject of an Adjusted Base Rate
Tranche may be converted to a SOFR Tranche and no SOFR Tranche may be continued as such when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, but each such Tranche shall be automatically converted to an Adjusted Base Rate Tranche on the last day
of each applicable Interest Period. If at Borrower’s election any SOFR Tranche is converted into an Adjusted Base Rate Tranche prior to the end of an Interest Period, Borrower will make any payment required by
Section 3.3. In no event shall more than ten (10) Interest Periods be in effect with respect to the SOFR Loans at any time. 

  
 52 












 (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in
Section 2.5(a) or Section 2.5(b), all overdue principal of and, to the extent permitted by Law, overdue interest on the Loans and all other Obligations which are not paid in full when due (whether
at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), for the period from and including the due date thereof to but excluding the date the same is paid in full, shall bear interest, at a rate per annum equal to the lesser of (i) the Default Rate,
and (ii) the Maximum Lawful Rate. Interest payable as provided in this Section 2.5(d) shall be payable from time to time on demand. 

(e) Administrative Agent shall determine each interest rate applicable to the Loans in accordance with the terms hereof. Administrative Agent
shall promptly notify Borrower and Banks by telecopy or e-mail of each rate of interest so determined, and its determination thereof shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. 

(f) All prepayments made or required under this Agreement, whether mandatory or voluntary or otherwise, shall be without premium or penalty,
provided that Borrower shall be obligated to make any payments required under Section 3.3. 
 (g) In connection
with the use or administration of Term SOFR, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Paper, any amendments implementing such
Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Paper. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Banks of the effectiveness of any
Conforming Changes in connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR. 
 Section 2.6 Mandatory Prepayments. 

(a) Promptly (and in any event within two Business Days) after the consummation by any Credit Party of any Asset Disposition pursuant to
Section 9.5 that creates a Borrowing Base Deficiency (or increase in any existing Borrowing Base Deficiency) pursuant to Section 4.6, Borrower shall (i) apply a portion of the Net Cash
Proceeds equal to such Borrowing Base Deficiency (or increase in any previously existing Borrowing Base Deficiency) as a mandatory prepayment on the Loans and (ii) if a Borrowing Base Deficiency remains after prepaying all of the Loans as a
result of Letter of Credit Exposure, deposit with Administrative Agent on behalf of the Banks an amount equal to such Borrowing Base Deficiency (or increase in any previously existing Borrowing Base Deficiency) to be held as cash collateral to the
extent required pursuant to Section 2.1(b); provided that the Borrowing Base Deficiency must be eliminated on or prior to the Termination Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default exists on the date
of the consummation of any Asset Disposition, then, unless Required Banks and Borrower agree otherwise, all Net Cash Proceeds from any such Asset Disposition shall be applied as a mandatory prepayment on the Loans in accordance with
Section 3.2(c). 
 (b) Promptly (and in any event within two Business Days) after the incurrence or issuance by
any Credit Party of any Permitted Additional Debt that creates a Borrowing Base Deficiency pursuant to Section 4.7, Borrower shall (i) prepay the Loans in an aggregate principal amount equal to such Borrowing Base
Deficiency, and (ii) if a Borrowing Base Deficiency remains after prepaying all of the Loans as a result of Letter of Credit Exposure, deposit with 

  
 53 












 
Administrative Agent on behalf of the Banks an amount equal to such Borrowing Base Deficiency to be held as cash collateral to the extent required pursuant to
Section 2.1(b); provided that the Borrowing Base Deficiency must be eliminated on or prior to the Termination Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default exists on the date of the incurrence or
issuance of the Permitted Additional Debt, then, unless Required Banks and Borrower agrees otherwise, all proceeds from any such Permitted Additional Debt shall be applied as a mandatory prepayment on the Loans in accordance with
Section 3.2(c). 
 (c) Upon any termination or reduction of the Aggregate Maximum Credit Amount pursuant to
Section 2.9 or any reduction in the Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount pursuant to Section 2.15(f) that results in the Outstanding Revolving Credit exceeding the Total Commitment, on the effective
date of any such termination or reduction, Borrower shall prepay the Loans (together with accrued interest thereon) in an amount sufficient to cause the Outstanding Revolving Credit to be equal to or less than the Total Commitment as thereby reduced
(and Administrative Agent shall distribute to each Bank in like funds that portion of any such payment as is required to cause the principal balance of the Loans held by such Bank to be not greater than its Commitment as thereby reduced), and any
such payment shall be accompanied by amounts due under Section 3.3). 
 (d) If, as of the end of the last Business
Day of any calendar month (each such date, a “Specified Consolidated Cash Balance Test Date”), commencing with the calendar month ending June 2021, the Consolidated Cash Balance exceeds the Consolidated Cash Balance Threshold, then
the Borrower shall promptly (and in any event within three (3) Business Days after such Specified Consolidated Cash Balance Test Date), prepay the Borrowings in an aggregate principal amount equal to the lesser of (A) the amount of such
excess and (B) the unpaid principal balance of the Borrowings. 
 Section 2.7 Voluntary Prepayments. Borrower may, subject
to Section 3.3 and the other provisions of this Agreement, upon (a) same-Business Day advance notice (no later than 11:00 a.m. (Central time)) to Administrative Agent with respect to Adjusted Base Rate Borrowings, and
(b) three (3) U.S. Government Securities Business Days advance notice (no later than 11:00 a.m. (Central time)) to Administrative Agent with respect to SOFR Borrowings, prepay the principal of the Loans in whole or in part. Any partial
prepayment shall be in a minimum amount of $100,000 and shall be in an integral multiple of $100,000. 
 Section 2.8 Mandatory
Termination of Commitments; Termination Date and Maturity. The Total Commitment (and the Commitment of each Bank) shall terminate on the Termination Date. The outstanding principal balance of the Loans, all accrued but unpaid interest thereon,
and all other Obligations shall be due and payable in full on the Termination Date. 
 Section 2.9 Optional Termination and
Voluntary Reduction of Aggregate Maximum Credit Amount. Borrower may, by notice to Administrative Agent three (3) Business Days prior to the effective date of any such termination or reduction, terminate or permanently reduce the Aggregate
Maximum Credit Amount; provided that (i) any reduction shall be in amounts not less than $500,000 or any larger multiple of $500,000 (or shall be in an amount equal to the entire Aggregate Maximum Credit Amount) and (ii) upon any reduction
of the Aggregate Maximum Credit Amount that would otherwise result in the Aggregate Maximum Credit Amount being less 

  
 54 












 
than the Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount, the Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount shall be automatically reduced (ratably among all Banks in accordance with each Bank’s Applicable
Percentage) so that it equals the Aggregate Maximum Credit Amount as so reduced. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall not be permitted to voluntarily reduce the Aggregate Maximum Credit Amount to an amount less than the aggregate Letter of
Credit Exposure of all Banks. 
 Section 2.10 Application of Payments. Each repayment pursuant to
Section 2.6, Section 2.7, Section 2.8, Section 2.9 and Section 4.4 shall be made together with accrued interest to the
date of payment, and shall be applied to payment of the Loans in accordance with Section 3.2 and the other provisions of this Agreement. 

Section 2.11 Commitment Fee. On the Termination Date, and on the last day of each Fiscal Quarter prior to the Termination Date,
and in the event the Commitments are terminated in their entirety prior to the Termination Date, on the date of such termination, commencing with the last day of the Fiscal Quarter ending on June 30, 2019, Borrower shall pay to Administrative
Agent, for the ratable benefit of each Bank based on each Bank’s Applicable Percentage, a commitment fee equal to the Commitment Fee Percentage (computed on the basis of actual days elapsed and as if each calendar year consisted of 360 days) of
the average daily Revolving Availability for the Fiscal Quarter (or portion thereof) then ended; provided that, the aforementioned commitment fee shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Commitment of any Defaulting Bank. 

Section 2.12 Letter of Credit Fees and Letter of Credit Fronting Fees. On the Termination Date, and on the last day of each Fiscal
Quarter prior to the Termination Date, commencing with the last day of the Fiscal Quarter ending on June 30, 2019, and, in the event the Commitments are terminated in their entirety prior to the Termination Date, on the date of such
termination, Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent (to be distributed by Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.1(b)) (a) the Letter of Credit Fee which accrued during such Fiscal Quarter (or portion
thereof) and (b) the Letter of Credit Fronting Fee which accrued during such Fiscal Quarter (or portion thereof), in each case computed on the basis of actual days elapsed and as if each calendar year consisted of 360 days. 

Section 2.13 Agency and Other Fees. Borrower shall pay (a) to the Arranger, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. and their Affiliates such
fees and other amounts as Borrower shall be required to pay to such Persons from time to time pursuant to any Fee Letter and (b) to Banks such fees as shall have been separately agreed upon in writing in the amounts and at the times so
specified. 
 Section 2.14 Reliance on Notices. Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall be fully
protected in relying upon, any Request for Borrowing, Rollover Notice, Request for Letter of Credit or similar notice executed and delivered by Borrower and believed by Administrative Agent to be genuine. Administrative Agent may assume that each
Person executing and delivering any notice in accordance herewith was duly authorized, unless the responsible individual acting thereon for Administrative Agent has actual knowledge to the contrary. 

  
 55 












 Section 2.15 Increases, Reductions and Terminations of Aggregate Elected Commitment
Amount. 
 (a) Subject to the conditions set forth in Section 2.15(b), Borrower may increase the Aggregate
Elected Commitment Amount then in effect by increasing the Elected Commitment of a Bank or by causing a Person that is acceptable to Administrative Agent that at such time is not a Bank to become a Bank (any such Person that is not at such time a
Bank and becomes a Bank, an “Additional Bank”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in no case shall an Additional Bank be Parent, Borrower, an Affiliate of Borrower or a natural person. 

(b) Any increase in the Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount shall be subject to the following additional conditions: 

(i) such increase shall not be less than $10,000,000 (or, in the event such increase would otherwise exceed the Aggregate Maximum Credit
Amount, such lesser amount that would constitute the Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount being equal to the Aggregate Maximum Credit Amount) unless Administrative Agent otherwise consents, and no such increase shall be permitted if after giving
effect thereto the Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount exceed the Borrowing Base then in effect; 
 (ii) following any Periodic
Determination, Borrower may not increase the Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount more than once before the next Periodic Determination (for the sake of clarity, all increases in the Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount effective on a single date
shall be deemed a single increase in the Aggregate Elected Commitment Amounts for purposes of this Section 2.15(b)(ii)); 

(iii) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the effective date of such increase; 

(iv) on the effective date of such increase, no SOFR Borrowings shall be outstanding or if any SOFR Borrowings are outstanding, then the
effective date of such increase shall be the last day of the Interest Period in respect of such SOFR Borrowings unless Borrower pays any compensation required by Section 3.3; 

(v) no Bank’s Elected Commitment may be increased without the consent of such Bank; 

(vi) if Borrower elects to increase the Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount by increasing the Elected Commitment of an existing Bank,
Borrower and such Bank shall execute and deliver to Administrative Agent a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit J (an “Elected Commitment Increase Certificate”); and 

(vii) if Borrower elects to increase the Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount by causing an Additional Bank to become a party to this
Agreement, then Borrower and such Additional Bank shall execute and deliver to Administrative Agent a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit K (an “Additional Bank Certificate”), together with an Administrative
Questionnaire and a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, and Borrower shall (1) if requested 

  
 56 












 
by Additional Bank, deliver a Note payable to such Additional Bank in a principal amount equal to its Maximum Credit Amount, and otherwise duly completed and (2) pay any applicable fees as
may have been agreed to between Borrower and the Additional Bank, and, to the extent applicable and agreed to by Borrower, Administrative Agent. 

(c) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to Section 2.15(d), from and after the effective date
specified in the Elected Commitment Increase Certificate or the Additional Bank Certificate (or if any SOFR Borrowings are outstanding, then the last day of the Interest Period in respect of such SOFR Borrowings, unless Borrower has paid any
compensation required by Section 3.3): (i) the amount of the Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount shall be increased as set forth therein, and (ii) in the case of an Additional Bank Certificate, any Additional Bank
party thereto shall be a party to this Agreement and have the rights and obligations of a Bank under this Agreement and the other Loan Papers. In addition, the increasing Bank or the Additional Bank, as applicable, shall purchase a pro rata
portion of the outstanding Loans (and participation interests in Letters of Credit) of each of the other Banks (and such Banks hereby agree to sell and to take all such further action to effectuate such sale) such that each Bank (including any
Additional Bank, if applicable) shall hold its Applicable Percentage of the outstanding Loans (and participation interests) after giving effect to the increase in the Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount (and the resulting modifications of each
Bank’s Maximum Credit Amount pursuant to Section 2.15(e)). 
 (d) Upon its receipt of a duly completed
Elected Commitment Increase Certificate or an Additional Bank Certificate, executed by Borrower and the increasing Bank or by Borrower and the Additional Bank party thereto, as applicable, the processing and recording fee referred to in
Section 2.15(b)(vii), the Administrative Questionnaire referred to in Section 2.15(b)(vii) and the break-funding payments from Borrower, if any, required by Section 3.3,
if applicable, Administrative Agent shall accept such Elected Commitment Increase Certificate or Additional Bank Certificate and record the information contained therein in the Register required to be maintained by Administrative Agent pursuant to
Section 14.8(d). No increase in the Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this
Section 2.15(d). 
 (e) Upon any increase in the Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount pursuant to this
Section 2.15, (i) each Bank’s Maximum Credit Amount shall be automatically deemed amended to the extent necessary so that each such Bank’s Applicable Percentage equals the percentage of the Aggregate Elected
Commitment Amount represented by such Bank’s Elected Commitment, in each case after giving effect to such increase, and (ii) Schedule 1 to this Agreement shall be deemed amended to reflect the Elected Commitment of each Bank
(including any Additional Bank) as thereby increased, any changes in the Banks’ Maximum Credit Amounts pursuant to the foregoing clause (i), and any resulting changes in the Banks’ Applicable Percentages. 

(f) Borrower may from time to time terminate or reduce the Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount; provided that (i) each reduction of the
Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $500,000 and not less than $1,000,000 and (ii) Borrower shall not reduce the Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount if, after giving effect to any concurrent
prepayment of the Loans in accordance with Section 2.6(c), the Outstanding Revolving Credit would exceed the Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount as reduced. 

  
 57 












 (g) Borrower shall notify Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the
Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount under Section 2.15(f) at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly
following receipt of any notice, Administrative Agent shall advise the Banks of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.15(g) shall be irrevocable. Any termination or reduction of
the Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount shall be permanent and may not be reinstated, except pursuant to Section 2.15(a). Each reduction of the Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount shall be made ratably among the Banks in
accordance with each Bank’s Applicable Percentage. 
 (h) Upon any redetermination or other adjustment in the Borrowing Base pursuant
to this Agreement that would otherwise result in the Borrowing Base becoming less than the Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount, the Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount shall be automatically reduced (ratably among the Banks in accordance with each
Bank’s Applicable Percentage) so that they equal such redetermined Borrowing Base (and Schedule 1 of this Agreement shall be deemed amended to reflect such amendments to each Bank’s Elected Commitment and the Aggregate Elected
Commitment Amount). 
 (i) Contemporaneously with any increase in the Borrowing Base pursuant to this Agreement, if (i) Borrower elects
to increase the Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount and (ii) each Bank has consented to such increase in its Elected Commitment, then the Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount shall be increased (ratably among the Banks in accordance with each
Bank’s Applicable Percentage) by the amount requested by Borrower (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.15(b)(i)) without the requirement that any Bank deliver an Elected Commitment Increase Certificate or
that Borrower pay any amounts under Section 3.3, and Schedule 1 of this Agreement shall be deemed amended to reflect such amendments to each Bank’s Elected Commitment and the Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount.
Administrative Agent shall record the information regarding such increases in the Register required to be maintained by Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 14.8(d). 

ARTICLE III 

GENERAL PROVISIONS 

Section 3.1 Delivery and Endorsement of Notes. Simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement and in accordance with
Section 2.4, Administrative Agent shall deliver to each Bank the Note, if any, payable to such Bank. Each Bank may record (and prior to any transfer of its Note shall record) on the schedule attached to its Note appropriate
notations to evidence the date and amount of each advance of funds made by it in respect of any Borrowing, the Interest Period (if any) applicable thereto, and the date and amount of each payment of principal received by such Bank with respect to
the Loans; provided that the failure by any Bank to so record its Note shall not affect the liability of Borrower for the repayment of all amounts outstanding under such Notes together with interest thereon. Each Bank is hereby irrevocably
authorized by Borrower to record such notations on its Note and to attach to and make a part of any Note a continuation of any such schedule as required. 

  
 58 












 Section 3.2 General Provisions as to Payments. 

(a) Borrower shall make each payment of principal of, and interest on, the Loans and all fees payable by Borrower hereunder not later than
11:00 a.m. (Central time) on the date when due, in funds immediately available to Administrative Agent at its address set forth on Schedule 1 hereto. Administrative Agent will promptly (and if such payment is received by
Administrative Agent by 12:00 p.m. (Central time), and otherwise if reasonably possible, on the same Business Day) distribute to each Bank its Applicable Percentage of each such payment received by Administrative Agent for the account of Banks.
Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on, that portion of the Loans subject to an Adjusted Base Rate Tranche or of fees shall be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next
succeeding Business Day (subject to the definition of Interest Period). Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on, that portion of the Loans subject to a SOFR Tranche shall be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the date for payment
thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day (subject to the definition of Interest Period). If the date for any payment of principal is extended by operation of Law or otherwise, interest thereon shall be payable for such extended
time. Borrower hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to charge from time to time against Borrower’s account or accounts with Administrative Agent any amount then due by Borrower. All amounts payable by Borrower under the Loan Papers (whether
principal, interest, fees, expenses, or otherwise) shall be paid in full, without set-off or counterclaim. 

(b) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, all principal payments received by Banks with respect to the Loans shall be applied as
instructed by Borrower and, in the absence of such instructions, first to SOFR Tranches outstanding under the Loans with Interest Periods ending on the date of such payment, then to Adjusted Base Rate Tranches, then to SOFR Tranches outstanding
under the Loans next maturing, and then to SOFR Tranches outstanding under the Loans next maturing until all such SOFR Tranches are repaid until such principal payment is fully applied, with such adjustments in such order of payment as
Administrative Agent shall specify in order that each Bank receives its ratable share of each such payment. 
 (c) During the continuation
of an Event of Default, all amounts collected or received by Administrative Agent or any Bank from any Credit Party or in respect of any of the assets of any Credit Party shall be applied in the following order: 

(i) first, to the payment of all fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts payable to Administrative Agent (including fees,
expenses, and disbursements of counsel to Administrative Agent); 
 (ii) second, to the payment of all fees, indemnities, expenses
and other amounts (other than principal, interest, and Letter of Credit Fees) payable to Banks under the Loan Papers (including fees, expenses, and disbursements of counsel to Banks), ratably among them in proportion to the respective amounts
described in this clause second payable to them; 
 (iii) third, to the reimbursement of any advances made by Administrative Agent
or Banks as authorized hereunder to effect performance of any unperformed covenants of any Credit Party under any of the Loan Papers; 

  
 59 












 (iv) fourth, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting
(A) accrued and unpaid Letter of Credit Fees and interest on the Loans and other Obligations, (B) unpaid principal of the Loans in the order specified in Section 3.2(b), (C) any amounts funded but unreimbursed
under Letters of Credit, (D) amounts owing under Hedge Agreements (to the extent such amounts are Obligations), and (E) amounts owing under Bank Products (to the extent such amounts are Obligations), ratably among the Banks, the Letter of
Credit Issuer, the Secured Hedge Providers and the Bank Products Providers in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause fourth payable to them; 

(v) fifth, pro rata to any other Obligations; 

(vi) sixth, to establish the deposits required by Section 2.1(b) if any; and 

(vii) last, the balance, if any, after all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full, to Borrower or as otherwise
required by Law. 
 All payments received by a Bank during the continuation of an Event of Default for application to the principal of the Loans pursuant to
this Section 3.2(c) shall be applied by such Bank in the manner provided in Section 3.2(b). 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, amounts received from any Guarantor that is not an Eligible Contract Participant shall not be applied to any Obligations that
are Excluded Swap Obligations with respect to such Guarantor (it being understood, that in the event that any amount is applied to Obligations other than Excluded Swap Obligations as a result of this clause, Administrative Agent shall make such
adjustments as it determines are appropriate to distributions pursuant to clause fourth above from amounts received from Eligible Contract Participants to ensure, as nearly as possible, that the proportional aggregate recoveries with respect
to Obligations described in clause fourth above by the holders of any Excluded Swap Obligations are the same as the proportional aggregate recoveries with respect to other Obligations pursuant to clause fourth above). 

Section 3.3 Funding Losses. If Borrower makes or is deemed to make any payment of principal subject to a SOFR Tranche (whether
pursuant to Section 2.6, Section 2.7, Section 2.8, Section 2.9, Section 4.4, Article XI or Article XIII,
whether as a voluntary or mandatory prepayment or otherwise) on any day other than the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto, or if Borrower fails to borrow any SOFR Borrowing, after notice has been given to any Bank in accordance with
Section 2.2, Borrower shall, at the written request of any Bank, reimburse such Bank on demand for any resulting loss, cost or expense incurred by it (including any loss, cost or expense arising from the liquidation or
reemployment of funds or from fees payable) attributed to such event. Such Bank shall promptly deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent a certificate as to the amount of such loss or expense, which certificate shall be conclusive in the absence
of manifest error. 
 Section 3.4 Non-Receipt of Funds by Administrative Agent. Unless
Administrative Agent shall have been notified by a Bank or Borrower (as used in this Section, “Payor”) prior to the date on which such Bank is to make payment to Administrative Agent hereunder or Borrower is to make a payment to
Administrative Agent for the account of one or more Banks, as the case may be (as used in this Section, such payment being herein called the “Required Payment”), which 

  
 60 












 
notice shall be effective upon receipt, that Payor does not intend to make the Required Payment to Administrative Agent, Administrative Agent may assume that the Required Payment has been made
and may, in reliance upon such assumption (but shall not be required to), make the amount thereof available to the intended recipient on such date and, if Payor has not in fact made the Required Payment to Administrative Agent, (a) the
recipient of such payment shall, on demand, pay to Administrative Agent the amount made available to it together with interest thereon in respect of the period commencing on the date such amount was so made available by Administrative Agent until
the date Administrative Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of a Bank, the Overnight Rate or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, the Adjusted Base Rate then in effect for such period, and
(b) Administrative Agent shall be entitled to offset against any and all sums to be paid to such recipient, the amount calculated in accordance with the foregoing clause (a). 

Section 3.5 Defaulting Banks. 

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Maximum Credit Amount of a Defaulting Bank shall not be included in
determining whether all Banks, the Majority Banks, the Required Banks or the Super Majority Banks have taken or may take any action hereunder (including approval of any redetermination of the Borrowing Base pursuant to Article IV and any
consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 14.2); provided that, any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Banks or each affected Bank which affects such Defaulting Bank
differently than other affected Banks shall require the consent of such Defaulting Bank; and provided further that in no event shall (i) the Commitment, Elected Commitment or Maximum Credit Amount of any Defaulting Bank be increased
without the consent of such Defaulting Bank, or (ii) the Termination Date or any date fixed for any payment of interest on the Loans or any fees hereunder be postponed without the consent of such Defaulting Bank. 

(b) If any Bank shall fail to make any payment referenced in clause (a) of the definition of “Defaulting Bank”, then
Administrative Agent may, in its discretion and notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by Administrative Agent for the account of such Bank and for the benefit of Administrative Agent or the
Letter of Credit Issuer to satisfy such Bank’s obligations hereunder until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid, and/or (ii) hold any such amounts in a segregated account as cash collateral for, and application to, any future
funding obligations of such Bank hereunder; in the case of each of (i) and (ii) above, in any order as determined by Administrative Agent in its discretion. 

(c) Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any Defaulting Bank’s ratable share of the fees described in
Section 2.11, Section 2.12 or Section 2.13 (notwithstanding anything to the contrary in such sections) for the period commencing on the day such Defaulting Bank becomes a
Defaulting Bank and continuing for so long as such Bank continues to be a Defaulting Bank.

 ARTICLE IV 

BORROWING BASE 

Section 4.1 Reserve Reports; Proposed Borrowing Base. As soon as available and in any event by (a) June 30, 2019,
September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2019, and (b) each March 31 and September 30 of each year thereafter, Borrower shall deliver to each Bank a Reserve Report prepared (i) in the case of the Reserve Reports required to
be delivered on the dates in the foregoing clause (a), as of the immediately preceding March 31, 2019, June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2019, respectively, and (ii) in the case of the Reserve Reports required to be delivered on
the dates in the foregoing clause (b), as of the immediately preceding December 31 and June 30, respectively. Simultaneously with the delivery to Administrative Agent and each Bank of each Reserve Report, Borrower shall notify
Administrative Agent of the Borrowing Base which Borrower requested become effective for the period commencing on the next Determination Date. 

Section 4.2 Periodic Determinations of the Borrowing Base; Procedures and Standards. Based in part on the Reserve Report made
available to Banks pursuant to Section 4.1, Banks shall redetermine the Borrowing Base on or prior to the next Determination Date or such date promptly thereafter as reasonably possible (i) based on the engineering and
other information available to Banks, and (ii) in accordance with, and consistent with, the subsequent provisions of this Section 4.2. Any Borrowing Base which becomes effective as a result of any Determination of the
Borrowing Base shall be subject to the following restrictions: (A) such Borrowing Base shall not exceed the Borrowing Base requested by Borrower pursuant to Section 4.1 or Section 4.3 (as
applicable), (B) such Borrowing Base shall not exceed the Aggregate Maximum Credit Amount then in effect, (C) to the extent such Borrowing Base represents an increase from the Borrowing Base in effect prior to such Determination such Borrowing
Base shall be approved by all Banks, and (D) any Borrowing Base which represents a decrease in the Borrowing Base in effect prior to such Determination, or a reaffirmation of such prior Borrowing Base, shall require approval of Required Banks.
Administrative Agent shall propose such redetermined Borrowing Base to Banks within fifteen (15) days following receipt by the Banks of a Reserve Report (or such date promptly thereafter as reasonably practicable). After having received notice
of such proposal by Administrative Agent, Required Banks (or all Banks in the event of a proposed increase) shall have fifteen (15) days to agree or disagree with such proposal. If, in the case of any proposed Borrowing Base that would decrease
or maintain the Borrowing Base then in effect, at the end of such 15-day period, any Bank has not communicated its approval or disapproval, such silence shall be deemed an approval. If, in the case of any proposed Borrowing Base that would increase
the Borrowing Base then in effect, at the end of such 15-day period, any Bank has not communicated its approval or disapproval, such silence shall be deemed disapproval. If sufficient Banks notify
Administrative Agent within such 15-day period of their disapproval such that Required Banks have neither approved nor been deemed to approve such Borrowing Base as herein provided (or, in the event of a proposed increase, any Bank notifies
Administrative Agent within such 15-day period of its disapproval), Required Banks (or all Banks in the event of a proposed increase) shall, within a reasonable period of time, agree on a new Borrowing Base. 

  
 62 












 In taking the above actions, Administrative Agent and the Banks shall act in their sole
discretion. It is further acknowledged and agreed that each Bank may consider such other credit factors as it deems appropriate and shall have no obligation in connection with any Determination to approve any change in the Borrowing Base in effect
prior to such Determination. Promptly following any Determination of the Borrowing Base, Administrative Agent shall notify Borrower of the amount of the Borrowing Base as redetermined, which Borrowing Base shall be effective as of the date specified
in such notice, and shall remain in effect for all purposes of this Agreement until the next Determination. 
 Section 4.3 Special
Determination of Borrowing Base. In addition to the redetermination of the Borrowing Base pursuant to Section 4.2, and adjustments of the Borrowing Base pursuant to Section 4.6,
Section 4.7 and Section 5.2, Borrower and Required Banks may each request one Special Determination of the Borrowing Base in any Fiscal Year. In addition, Borrower may request Special
Determinations from time to time as significant acquisition opportunities are presented to Borrower or for significant development and exploration of Borrower’s and its Restricted Subsidiaries’ Mineral Interests. In the event Required
Banks request such a Special Determination, Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver notice of such request to Borrower and Borrower shall, within 20 days following the date of such request, deliver to Banks (i) a Reserve Report prepared as
of the last day of the calendar month preceding the date of such request and (ii) such other reports, data and supplemental information as may be reasonably requested by the Required Banks. In the event Borrower requests a Special
Determination, Borrower shall deliver written notice of such request to Banks which shall include (A) a Reserve Report prepared as of a date not more than 30 days prior to the date of such request, (B) such other reports, data and
supplemental information as may be reasonably requested by the Required Banks and (C) the amount of the Borrowing Base requested by Borrower and to become effective on the Determination Date applicable to such Special Determination. Upon
receipt of such Reserve Report, Administrative Agent shall, subject to approval of Required Banks, or all Banks in the event of a proposed increase in the Borrowing Base, redetermine the Borrowing Base in accordance with the procedure set forth in
Section 4.2 which Borrowing Base shall become effective on the Determination Date applicable to such Special Determination (or as soon thereafter as Administrative Agent and Required Banks, or all Banks in the event of a
proposed increase in the Borrowing Base, approve such Borrowing Base and provide notice thereof to Borrower). 
 Section 4.4
Borrowing Base Deficiency. If a Borrowing Base Deficiency exists at any time (other than as a result of any reduction of the Borrowing Base pursuant to Section 4.6 or Section 4.7), Borrower
shall, within 30 days following notice thereof from Administrative Agent, provide written notice (the “Election Notice”) to Administrative Agent stating the action which Borrower proposes to take to remedy such Borrowing Base
Deficiency, and Borrower shall thereafter, at its option, do one or a combination of the following: (a) within 45 days following the delivery of such Election Notice, make a prepayment of principal on the Loans in an amount sufficient to
eliminate 50% of such Borrowing Base Deficiency, with a payment or payments to eliminate the remainder of such Borrowing Base Deficiency due within 90 days following the delivery of such Election Notice, and if such Borrowing Base Deficiency cannot
be eliminated by prepaying the Loans in full (as a result of outstanding Letter of Credit Exposure), Borrower shall also at such time or times deposit with Administrative Agent sufficient funds to be held by Administrative Agent as security for
outstanding Letter of Credit Exposure in the manner contemplated by Section 2.1(b) as necessary to eliminate the required portions of such Borrowing Base Deficiency on the dates required therefor, (b) within 90 days
following the delivery of such Election Notice, submit additional oil and gas properties owned by Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries for consideration in connection with the determination of the Borrowing Base which


  
 63 












 
Administrative Agent and Required Banks deem sufficient in their sole discretion to eliminate such Borrowing Base Deficiency, or (c) eliminate such deficiency by making six consecutive
mandatory prepayments of principal on the Loans, each of which shall be in the amount of one sixth of the amount of such Borrowing Base Deficiency, commencing on the date that is 30 days after notice of such Borrowing Base Deficiency is delivered to
Borrower and continuing thereafter on each monthly anniversary of such first payment, and in connection therewith, Borrower shall dedicate a sufficient amount (as determined by Administrative Agent) of the monthly cash flow from Borrower’s and
the Restricted Subsidiaries’ Mineral Interests to satisfy such payments. 
 Section 4.5 Initial Borrowing Base. The
Borrowing Base in effect during the period from the Effective Date until the date of the first Special Determination, Periodic Determination or other adjustment to the Borrowing Base hereunder after the Effective Date shall be the Initial Borrowing
Base.
 Section 4.6 Automatic Adjustment – Asset Disposition. In addition to the redeterminations of the Borrowing Base
pursuant to Section 4.2 and Section 4.3, and adjustments of the Borrowing Base pursuant to Section 4.7 and Section 5.2, simultaneously with the
completion by any Credit Party of any Asset Disposition pursuant to Section 9.5 of the Borrowing Base Properties and/or Borrowing Base Hedges which, when aggregated with the Borrowing Base Properties and/or Borrowing Base
Hedges subject to all other Asset Dispositions since the Determination Date of the Borrowing Base then in effect, have a fair market value in excess of 5% of the Borrowing Base then in effect, the Borrowing Base shall be automatically reduced as set
forth in this Section 4.6; provided, that, for purposes of this Section 4.6, a termination or other monetization, in whole or in part, of an Oil and Gas Hedge Transaction shall be deemed not to be
an “Asset Disposition” to the extent that (x) such Oil and Gas Hedge Transaction is novated, in whole or in part, from the existing counterparty to another counterparty, with Borrower or another Credit Party being the “remaining
party” for purposes of such novation, or (y) upon its termination, in whole or in part, it is replaced, in a substantially contemporaneous transaction, with one or more Oil and Gas Hedge Transactions covering Hydrocarbons of the type that
were hedged pursuant to such replaced Oil and Gas Hedge Transaction with notional volumes, prices and tenors not less favorable to Borrower or such Credit Party as those set forth in such replaced Oil and Gas Hedge Transaction, and without cash
payments to any Credit Party in connection therewith (except to the extent that such cash payments are paid to the counterparties on such replacement transactions upon the relevant Credit Party entering into such replacement transactions). Such
reduction shall be in an amount equal to the sum of (a) the value, if any, assigned to such Borrowing Base Properties and/or Borrowing Base Hedges (to the extent so terminated and not so replaced) subject to such Asset Disposition in the
Borrowing Base then in effect (such value as determined by Administrative Agent (and approved by Required Banks) in good faith and consistent with the manner of determination of such Borrowing Base pursuant to Section 4.2
and taking into consideration any negative Borrowing Base value attributed to any out-of-the money Borrowing Base Hedges so terminated), and (b) the reduction in
the Borrowing Base value realized or resulting from any such replacement of Borrowing Base Hedges (such value as determined by Administrative Agent (and approved by Required Banks) in good faith and consistent with the manner of determination of
such Borrowing Base pursuant to Section 4.2 and taking into consideration any negative Borrowing Base value attributed to any
out-of-the-money Borrowing Base Hedges so replaced). Notwithstanding Section 4.4, upon any reduction of
the Borrowing Base pursuant to this Section 4.6 which results in a Borrowing Base Deficiency (or increase in any 

  
 64 












 
existing Borrowing Base Deficiency), Borrower shall prepay the Loans and/or cash collateralize the Letter of Credit Exposure in accordance with Section 2.6(a). For the
sake of clarity, the termination or other monetization of a Borrowing Base Hedge at its scheduled maturity does not constitute an Asset Disposition and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.6, the
termination or monetization of a Borrowing Base Hedge at its scheduled maturity shall not result in any reduction of the Borrowing Base. 

Section 4.7 Automatic Adjustment – Issuance of Permitted Additional Debt. In addition to the redeterminations of the
Borrowing Base pursuant to Section 4.2 and Section 4.3, and adjustments of the Borrowing Base pursuant to Section 4.6 and Section 5.2, upon any
incurrence or issuance of any Permitted Additional Debt, the Borrowing Base then in effect shall automatically be decreased by an amount equal to 25% of the aggregate stated principal amount of such Permitted Additional Debt incurred or issued at
such time. Such decrease in the Borrowing Base shall occur automatically upon the incurrence or issuance of such Permitted Additional Debt on the date of incurrence or issuance, without any vote of the Banks or action by Administrative Agent and
shall be effective and applicable to Borrower, Administrative Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer and the Banks on such date until the next redetermination or other adjustment of the Borrowing Base pursuant to this Agreement; provided, that,
no such reduction of the Borrowing Base shall occur with respect to any Permitted Additional Debt incurred or issued to substantially simultaneously refinance or replace any then existing Permitted Additional Debt (up to the principal amount of such
refinanced or replaced Permitted Additional Debt). Upon any such reduction in the Borrowing Base, Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver notice thereof to Borrower and the Banks. Notwithstanding Section 4.4, upon any
reduction of the Borrowing Base pursuant to this Section 4.7 which results in a Borrowing Base Deficiency (or increase in any existing Borrowing Base Deficiency), Borrower shall prepay the Loans and/or cash collateralize
the Letter of Credit Exposure in accordance with Section 2.6(b).

COLLATERAL AND GUARANTIES 

Section 5.1 Security. 

(a) On and after the Effective Date, the Obligations shall be secured by first and prior Liens covering and encumbering (i) one hundred
percent (100%) of the issued and outstanding Equity Interests of each existing and future Domestic Subsidiary of Borrower that are owned by a Credit Party, (ii) Proved Mineral Interests owned by Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries that
constitute not less than the Required Reserve Value of all Proved Mineral Interests owned by Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries and (iii) substantially all of the other material personal property assets of the Credit Parties (subject to
certain exceptions as set forth in the Security Instruments), except that, in each case, Permitted Encumbrances may exist. On or before the Effective Date, Borrower shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Administrative Agent, for the ratable
benefit of each Bank, the Security Agreement and Mortgages in form and substance acceptable to Administrative Agent and duly executed by such Credit Party, together with such other assignments, conveyances, amendments, agreements and other writings,
including UCC-1 financing statements (each duly authorized and, as applicable, executed) as Administrative Agent shall deem necessary or appropriate to grant, evidence and perfect first and prior Liens in all
Borrowing Base Properties and other interests of Borrower and the other Credit Parties as 

  
 65 












 
required by this Section 5.1(a). Borrower hereby authorizes Administrative Agent, and its agents, successors and assigns, to file any and all necessary financing
statements under the Uniform Commercial Code, assignments and/or continuation statements as necessary from time to time (in Administrative Agent’s discretion) to perfect (or continue perfection of) the Liens granted pursuant to the Loan Papers.

 (b) On or before each Determination Date after the Effective Date, and at such other times as Administrative Agent or Required Banks
shall reasonably request, Borrower shall, and shall cause its Restricted Subsidiaries to, deliver to Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of each Bank, Mortgages in form and substance acceptable to Administrative Agent and duly executed by
Borrower and such Restricted Subsidiaries (as applicable) together with such other assignments, conveyances, amendments, agreements and other writings, including UCC-1 financing statements (each duly
authorized and, as applicable, executed) as Administrative Agent shall reasonably deem necessary or appropriate to grant, evidence and perfect the Liens required by Section 5.1(a) above with respect to Proved Mineral
Interests then held by Borrower and such Restricted Subsidiaries (as applicable) which are not the subject of existing first and prior, perfected Liens securing the Obligations as required by Section 5.1(a). Borrower and
its Restricted Subsidiaries are not required to grant Liens on Mineral Interests other than their Proved Mineral Interests. 
 (c) Borrower
will at all times cause the other material tangible and intangible personal property of Borrower and each Restricted Subsidiary (to the extent purported to be subject to the Security Agreement) to be subject to the Lien of the Security Agreement
including all Hedge Agreements and Hedge Transactions entered into by Borrower and each Restricted Subsidiary and all Equity Interests owned by Borrower and each Restricted Subsidiary. 

(d) Notwithstanding any provision in any of the Loan Papers to the contrary, in no event is any Building (as defined in the applicable Flood
Insurance Regulations) or Manufactured (Mobile) Home (as defined in the applicable Flood Insurance Regulations) owned by any Credit Party included in the Mortgaged Property and no Building or Manufactured (Mobile) Home shall be encumbered by any
Security Instrument; provided, that (i) the applicable Credit Party’s interests in all lands and Hydrocarbons situated under any such Building or Manufactured (Mobile) Home shall be included in the Mortgaged Property and shall be
encumbered by the Security Instruments and (ii) Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, permit to exist any Lien on any Building or Manufactured (Mobile) Home owned by them except Permitted Encumbrances.

 (e) Notwithstanding that, by the terms of the various Security Instruments, the Credit Parties are and will be assigning to
Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties all of the Hydrocarbon production, products and proceeds accruing to the property covered thereby and are and will be providing to Administrative Agent various control agreements, powers of
attorney and other rights to exercise control over such collateral or any other collateral covered by any of the Security Instruments, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing the Credit Parties may continue to receive and
collect all such proceeds and Administrative Agent will not exercise its rights and remedies under the control agreements, powers of attorney and other rights and remedies to collect or control any of the collateral subject to the Security
Instruments, provided that such forbearance by Administrative Agent in not exercising its rights and remedies under the control agreements, powers of attorney and other rights and remedies to collect or control any of such collateral shall not
constitute in any way a waiver, remission or release of any of its rights or remedies under the Security Instruments or a release of any Lien granted thereunder. 

  
 66 












 Section 5.2 Title Information. At any time Borrower or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries are required to execute and deliver Mortgages to Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 5.1, Borrower shall also deliver to Administrative Agent (a) such evidence of title (including but not limited to
any title opinions available to Borrower) as Administrative Agent shall reasonably require to verify Borrower’s or any such Restricted Subsidiary’s (as applicable) title to an appropriate portion of Borrower’s and its Restricted
Subsidiaries’ Proved Mineral Interests (taking into account their nature as royalty interests or non-operated working interests, as applicable); provided that to the extent the Recognized Value of non-operated working interests owned by Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries is greater than or equal to ten percent (10%) Recognized Value of Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries’ Proved Minerals
Interests, then Borrower or any such Restricted Subsidiary shall deliver such satisfactory evidence of title covering properties comprising not less than 80% of the Recognized Value of all of Borrower’s and its Restricted Subsidiaries’ non-operated working interests, and (b) such opinions of counsel (addressed to Administrative Agent) as Administrative Agent shall reasonably require to address the validity and perfection of the Liens created
by such Mortgages. If Borrower fails to provide title information requested under this Section 5.2 within a 90-day period following a request therefor or if Borrower fails to cure any
title defect requested by Administrative Agent or the Banks to be cured within a 90-day period following such request, such failure shall not be a Default, but instead Administrative Agent and/or the Required
Banks shall have the right to exercise the following remedy in their sole discretion from time to time, and any failure to so exercise this remedy at any time shall not be a waiver as to future exercise of the remedy by Administrative Agent or the
Banks. To the extent that Administrative Agent or the Required Banks are not satisfied with title to any Mineral Interest after the 90-day period has elapsed, Administrative Agent may send a notice to Borrower
and the Banks that the then outstanding Borrowing Base shall be reduced by an amount reasonably determined by the Required Banks in light of such failure to be in compliance with the title requirement set forth in clause (a) of the first
sentence of this Section 5.2. This new Borrowing Base shall become effective immediately after receipt of such notice and any resulting Borrowing Base Deficiency shall be cured in accordance with
Section 4.4. 
 Section 5.3 Guarantees. Payment and performance of the Obligations shall be fully
guaranteed by each existing or hereafter acquired or formed Restricted Subsidiary of Borrower, in each case, pursuant to the Facility Guaranty. 

Section 5.4 Additional Guarantors. In connection with the acquisition or organization of any new Domestic Subsidiary of Borrower
or any designation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary pursuant to Section 9.11, promptly (and in no event more than 30 days or such later date as Administrative Agent may agree in its sole discretion)
following such creation or acquisition, Borrower (a) shall, or shall cause the applicable Restricted Subsidiary, to execute and deliver a joinder to the Facility Guaranty and the Security Agreement executed by such Restricted Subsidiary,
(b) shall, or shall cause the holder of the Equity Interests in such Restricted Subsidiary, to pledge all of the Equity Interests of such Restricted Subsidiary (including delivery of any stock certificates evidencing the Equity Interests of
such Restricted Subsidiary, together 

  
 67 












 
with appropriate undated stock powers for each certificate duly executed in blank by the registered owner thereof), and (c) shall, or shall cause any other Credit Party, to execute and
deliver, such other additional UCC-1 financing statements, closing documents, certificates, and legal opinions as shall reasonably be requested by Administrative Agent, in the case of each of clause (a), (b),
and (c) above, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent. Borrower shall cause any Person (including any Unrestricted Subsidiary) that guarantees the obligations with respect to any Permitted Additional Debt to
become a Guarantor (if it is not already a Guarantor) by executing and delivering to Administrative Agent a joinder to the Facility Guaranty.

abided by all obligations required to be performed under each license, permit, order, authorization, grant, contract, agreement, or regulation to which such Credit Party is a party or by which such Credit Party or any of the assets of such Credit
Party are bound to the extent a failure to perform and abide by such obligations could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; provided that, to the extent Mineral Interests owned by any such Credit Party are operated by operators

 Section 7.13 Solvency. After giving effect to the transactions contemplated
hereby, including each Borrowing made hereunder and each issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of a Letter of Credit, (a) the aggregate assets (after giving effect to amounts that could reasonably be expected to be received by reason of
indemnity, offset, insurance or any similar arrangement), at a fair valuation, of Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, exceed the aggregate Debt of Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis,
(b) each of Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries has not incurred and does not intend to incur, and does not believe that it has incurred, Debt beyond its ability to pay such Debt (after taking into account the timing and amounts of cash it
reasonably expects could be received and the amounts that it reasonably expects could be payable on or in respect of its liabilities, and giving effect to amounts that could reasonably be expected to be received by reason of indemnity, offset,

capital for the conduct of its business. 
 Section 7.14 Full Disclosure. 

(a) All information, taken as a whole, heretofore furnished by or on behalf of any Credit Party to Administrative Agent, the Arranger, or any
Bank for purposes of or in connection with this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby is, and all such information hereafter furnished by or on behalf of any Credit Party to Administrative Agent, the Arranger, or any Bank will be, true,
complete, and accurate in every material respect and based on reasonable estimates on the date as of which such information is stated or certified (it being understood that actual results may vary materially from the financial projections provided
hereunder). There are no statements or conclusions in any Reserve Report which are based upon or include misleading information or fail to take into account material information regarding the matters reported therein, it being understood that
projections concerning volumes attributable to the Mineral Interests and production and cost estimates contained in each Reserve Report are necessarily based upon professional opinions, estimates and projections and that the Credit Parties do not
warrant that such opinions, estimates and projections will ultimately prove to have been accurate.

 Section 7.16 Environmental Matters. No Property owned or leased by any Credit
Party (including Mineral Interests) and no operations conducted thereon, and no operations of any prior owner, lessee or operator of any such Properties, is or has been in violation of any Applicable Environmental Law other than violations which
neither individually nor in the aggregate will have a Material Adverse Effect, nor is any such Property or operation the subject of any existing, pending or, to Borrower’s knowledge, threatened Environmental Complaint which could, individually
or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. All notices, permits, licenses, and similar authorizations, if any, required to be obtained or filed in connection with the ownership or operation of any and all real and
personal property owned, leased or operated by any Credit Party, including notices, licenses, permits and authorizations required in connection with any past or present treatment, storage, disposal, or release of Hazardous Substances into the
environment, have been duly obtained or filed except to the extent the failure to obtain or file such notices, licenses, permits and authorizations would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Except for such matters that,
individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, none of the Properties of any Credit Party contain or have contained any: (a) underground storage tanks; (b) asbestos-containing
materials; (c) landfills or dumps; (d) hazardous waste management units as defined pursuant to RCRA or any comparable state law; or (e) sites on or nominated for the National Priority List promulgated pursuant to CERCLA or any state
remedial priority list promulgated or published pursuant to any comparable state law. There have been no Hazardous Discharges which were not in compliance with Applicable Environmental Laws other than Hazardous Discharges which would not,
individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. No Credit Party has any contingent liability in connection with any Hazardous Discharges which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in this Section 7.16, to the extent Mineral Interests owned by any Credit Party are operated by operators other than any Credit Party or an Affiliate of any Credit Party, Borrower has no knowledge of non-compliance. 
 Section 7.17 Burdensome Obligations. No Credit Party is a party to or bound
by any agreement (other than the Loan Papers), or subject to any Law of any Governmental Authority, which prohibits or restricts in any way (a) the right of such party to grant Liens to Administrative Agent and Banks on or in respect of their
Properties to secure the Obligations and the Loan Papers or (b) the right of any Restricted Subsidiary to make Restricted Payments to any other Credit Party that owns Equity Interests in such Restricted Subsidiary. 

Section 7.18 Government Regulations. No Credit Party is subject to regulation under the Federal Power Act, the Interstate Commerce
Act, the Investment Company Act of 1940 (as any of the preceding acts have been amended) or any other Law that limits the incurrence of Debt by such Credit Party, including Laws relating to common carriers or the sale of electricity, gas, steam,
water or other public utility services.

 Section 7.20 Gas Balancing Agreements and Advance Payment Contracts. Solely to the extent Borrower or any
Restricted Subsidiary owns any working interests in any Proved Mineral Interests, except as set forth on the most recent certificate delivered pursuant to Section 8.1(c), there are no Material Gas Imbalances or Advance
Payment Contracts which would require Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to deliver Hydrocarbons produced from their Borrowing Base Properties comprised of working interests in Proved Mineral Interests at some future time without then or
thereafter receiving full payment therefor exceeding one-half bcf of gas (on an mcf equivalent basis) in the aggregate; provided that to the extent any such working interests in Proved Mineral Interests owned
by any Credit Party are operated by operators other than any Credit Party or an Affiliate of any Credit Party, Borrower has no knowledge of non-compliance based upon information available to Borrower from such
operators. 
 Section 7.21 Anti-Corruption Laws and Sanctions. Each Credit Party has implemented and maintains in effect
policies and procedures designed to achieve compliance by such Credit Party, its Subsidiaries and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents with Anti-Corruption Laws and applicable Sanctions, and such Credit Party, its Subsidiaries
and their respective officers and employees and, to the knowledge of such Credit Party, its directors and agents, are in compliance with Anti-Corruption Laws and applicable Sanctions in all material respects. None of (a) any Credit Party, any
Subsidiary or any of their respective directors, officers or employees, or (b) to the knowledge of any such Credit Party or Subsidiary, any agent of such Credit Party or any Subsidiary that will act in any capacity in connection with or benefit
from the credit facility established hereby, is a Sanctioned Person. No Borrowing or Letter of Credit, use of proceeds, or other transaction contemplated by this Agreement or the other Loan Papers will violate Anti-Corruption Laws or applicable
Sanctions.

Credit Party’s officers, accountants and auditors, all upon reasonable advance notice and at such reasonable times and as often as Administrative Agent or any Bank may desire, all at the expense of Borrower; provided that, (i) any
inspection by any Bank shall be coordinated through and together with Administrative Agent and (ii) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, neither Administrative Agent nor any Bank will require any Credit Party to incur any
unreasonable expense as a result of the exercise by Administrative Agent or any Bank of its rights pursuant to this Section 8.4.

Section 8.5 Maintenance of Insurance. Borrower will, and will cause each other Credit Party to, at all times maintain or cause to
be maintained (a) all insurance policies (including self-insurance where appropriate) sufficient for the compliance by each of them with all material Laws and all material agreements and (b) insurance coverage in at least amounts and
against such risk (including, without limitation, public liability) that are customarily insured against by companies similarly situated and engaged in the same or a similar business for the assets and operations of Borrower and its Restricted
Subsidiaries. All lender loss payable clauses or provisions in all policies of insurance maintained by the Credit Parties pursuant to this Section 8.5 shall be endorsed in favor of and made payable to Administrative Agent
for the ratable benefit of Banks, as their interests may appear. Administrative Agent shall be named an additional insured with respect to 

  
 84 












 
all of the Credit Parties’ liability policies to the extent permitted by Law. Whenever an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of
Banks shall have the right to collect, and Borrower hereby assigns to Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of Banks, any and all monies that may become payable under any such policies of property and casualty insurance by reason of damage,
loss or destruction of any property which stands as security for the Obligations or any part thereof, and Administrative Agent may, at its election (which election shall be made in the reasonable discretion of Administrative Agent with the consent
of Majority Banks), either apply for the ratable benefit of Banks all or any part of the sums so collected toward payment of the Obligations (or the portion thereof with respect to which such property stands as security), whether or not such
Obligations are then due and payable, in such manner as Administrative Agent may elect or release same to Borrower. 
 Section 8.6
Payment of Obligations. Borrower will, and will cause each other Credit Party to, pay and discharge as the same shall become due and payable, all its material obligations and liabilities, including (a) all material Taxes imposed upon it

maintained by the applicable Credit Party, (b) all material claims (including claims for labor, services, materials and supplies) for sums which have become due and payable and which by Law have or might become a Lien (other than a Permitted
Encumbrance) on any of its assets, and (c) all Debt, as and when due and payable, but subject to any subordination provisions contained in any instrument or agreement evidencing such Debt. 

Section 8.7 Compliance with Laws and Documents. Borrower will, and will cause each other Credit Party to, comply with all Laws,
its articles or certificate of incorporation, certificate of limited partnership, partnership agreement, bylaws, regulations and similar organizational documents and all Material Agreements to which any Credit Party is a party, if a violation, alone
or when combined with all other such violations, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Credit Party will maintain in effect and enforce policies and procedures designed to achieve compliance by such Credit Party, its
Subsidiaries and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents with applicable Anti-Corruption Laws and applicable Sanctions. 

Section 8.8 Maintenance of Properties and Equipment. 

(a) Borrower will, and will cause each other Credit Party to, maintain, preserve and keep its Borrowing Base Properties, and observe and
comply with all of the terms and provisions, express or implied, of all oil and gas leases relating to such properties so long as such oil and gas leases are capable of producing Hydrocarbons and accompanying elements in paying quantities, to the
extent that the failure to so observe and comply could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (b) Borrower will, and
will cause each other Credit Party to, comply in all respects with all contracts and agreements applicable to or relating to its Borrowing Base Properties or the production and sale of Hydrocarbons and accompanying elements therefrom, except to the
extent a failure to so comply could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

  
 85 












 (c) With respect to the Borrowing Base Properties of any Credit Party which are operated by
operators other than such Credit Party, no Credit Party shall be obligated itself to perform any undertakings contemplated by the covenants and agreements contained in this Section 8.8 which are performable only by such
operators and are beyond the control of such Credit Party, but shall be obligated to seek to enforce such operators’ material contractual obligations to maintain, develop and operate the Borrowing Base Properties in accordance with such
operating agreements. 
 Section 8.9 Further Assurances. Borrower will, and will cause each other Credit Party to, execute and
deliver or cause to be executed and delivered such other and further instruments or documents and take such further action as in the judgment of Administrative Agent may be required to carry out the provisions and purposes of the Loan Papers,
including to create, preserve, protect and perfect the Liens of Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Banks and other holders of Obligations as required by Article V. 

Section 8.10 Environmental Law Compliance and Indemnity. (a) Borrower will, and will cause each other Credit Party to, comply with
all Applicable Environmental Laws, including (i) all licensing, permitting, notification and similar requirements of Applicable Environmental Laws, and (ii) all provisions of Applicable Environmental Law regarding storage, discharge,
release, transportation, treatment and disposal of Hazardous Substances, except in each case where the failure to comply could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Borrower will, and will cause each other Credit Party to,
promptly pay and discharge when due all debts, claims, liabilities and obligations with respect to any clean-up or remediation measures necessary to comply in all material respects with Applicable
Environmental Laws. Borrower hereby indemnifies and agrees to defend and hold Banks and their successors and assigns harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, causes of action, loss, damage, liabilities, costs and expenses (including
reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs) of any and every kind or character, known or unknown, fixed or contingent, asserted against or incurred by any Bank at any time and from time to time, including those asserted or arising subsequent to
the payment or other satisfaction of the Loans, by reason of or arising out of the ownership, construction, occupancy, operation, use and maintenance of any of the collateral for the Loans, including matters arising out of the negligence of any
Bank; provided that, this indemnity shall not apply with respect to matters caused by or arising out of (A) with respect to each Bank, the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Bank, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction
in a final, non-appealable judgment (IT BEING THE EXPRESS INTENTION HEREBY THAT BANKS SHALL BE INDEMNIFIED FROM THE CONSEQUENCES OF THEIR ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE); and (B) the construction, occupancy,
operation, use and maintenance of the collateral for the Loans by any owner, lessee or party in possession of the collateral for the Loans subsequent to the ownership of the collateral for the Loans by Borrower; provided further that, this subclause
(B) shall not exclude from the foregoing indemnity and agreement, liability, claims, demands, causes of action, loss, damage, costs and expenses imposed by reason of the ownership of the collateral for the Loans by Banks after purchase by Banks
at any foreclosure sale or transfer in lieu thereof from any Credit Party in partial or entire satisfaction of the Loans (unless the same shall be solely attributable to the subsequent use of the collateral by Banks during their ownership thereof).
The foregoing indemnity and agreement applies to the violation of any Applicable Environmental Law prior to the payment or other satisfaction of the Loans and any act, omission, event or circumstance existing or occurring on or about the collateral
for the Loans (including the 

  
 86 












 
presence on the collateral for the Loans or release from the collateral for the Loans of asbestos or other Hazardous Substances disposed of or otherwise present in or released prior to the
payment or other satisfaction of the Loans). It shall not be a defense to the covenant of Borrower to indemnify that the act, omission, event or circumstance did not constitute a violation of any Applicable Environmental Law at the time of its
existence or occurrence. The provisions of this Section 8.10 shall survive the repayment of the Loans and shall continue thereafter in full force and effect. In the event of the transfer of the Loans or any portion thereof,
Banks or any prior holder of the Loans and any participants shall continue to be benefited by this indemnity and agreement with respect to the period of such holding of the Loans. 

(b) With respect to the Borrowing Base Properties of any Credit Party which are operated by operators other than such Credit Party, no Credit
Party shall be obligated itself to perform any undertakings contemplated by the covenants and agreements contained in this Section 8.10 which are performable only by such operators and are beyond the control of such Credit
Party, but shall be obligated to seek to enforce such operators’ material contractual obligations to maintain, develop and operate the Borrowing Base Properties in accordance with such operating agreements. 

Section 8.11 ERISA Reporting Requirements. Borrower will promptly furnish and will cause the other Credit Parties and any ERISA
Affiliate to promptly furnish to Administrative Agent (i) promptly upon request from the Administrative Agent, copies of the most recent annual and other reports with respect to each Plan or any trust created thereunder, and (ii) promptly
upon becoming aware of the occurrence of any “prohibited transaction,” as described in section 406 of ERISA or in section 4975 of the Code, in connection with any Plan or any trust created thereunder, a written notice signed by the chief
executive officer or the chief financial officer of the Credit Party or the ERISA Affiliate, as the case may be, specifying the nature thereof, what action Borrower, such Credit Party or ERISA Affiliate is taking or proposes to take with respect
thereto, and, when known, any action taken or proposed by the Internal Revenue Service or the Department of Labor with respect thereto. 

Section 8.12 Commodity Exchange Act Keepwell Provisions. 

(a) Borrower hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time
to time by each Benefitting Guarantor in order for such Benefitting Guarantor to honor its obligations under the Facility Guaranty and any other Loan Paper with respect to Hedge Transactions (provided, however, that Borrower shall only be liable
under this Section 8.12(a) for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering their obligations under this Section 8.12(a), or otherwise under this Agreement or
any Loan Paper, as it relates to such Benefitting Guarantor, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations of Borrower under this
Section 8.12(a) shall remain in full force and effect until all Obligations are paid in full to Banks, Administrative Agent and all other Secured Parties to whom Obligations are owing, and all of Banks’ Commitments are
terminated. Borrower intends that this Section 8.12(a) constitute, and this Section 8.12(a) shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of
each Benefitting Guarantor for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act. 

  
 87 












 (b) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Paper, the
Obligations guaranteed by any Guarantor, or secured by the grant of any Lien by such Guarantor under any Loan Paper, shall exclude all Excluded Swap Obligations with respect to such Guarantor. 

Section 8.13 Unrestricted Subsidiaries. Borrower: 

(a) will cause the management, business and affairs of Borrower and each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to be conducted in such a manner
(including by keeping separate books of account, furnishing separate financial statements of Unrestricted Subsidiaries to creditors and potential creditors thereof and by not permitting Properties of Borrower and its respective Restricted
Subsidiaries to be commingled) so that each Unrestricted Subsidiary that is a corporation will be treated as a corporate entity separate and distinct from Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries; 

(b) will not, and will not permit any of the Restricted Subsidiaries to, incur, assume, guarantee or be or become liable for any Debt of any
of the Unrestricted Subsidiaries; and 
 (c) will not permit any Unrestricted Subsidiary to hold any Equity Interest in, or any Debt of,
Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary. 
 Section 8.14 Deposit Accounts; Commodity Accounts and Securities Accounts. Borrower
and each Guarantor will cause each of their respective Deposit Accounts, Commodity Accounts or Securities Accounts (in each case, other than De Minimis Accounts) to at all times be subject to an Account Control Agreement in accordance with and to
the extent required by the Security Agreement. 
 Section 8.15 Post-Closing Delivery of Account Control Agreements.
Notwithstanding the requirements set forth in Section 8.14, with respect to each Deposit Account, Commodity Account and Securities Account of the Credit Parties in existence on the Effective Date (other than, in each case,
De Minimis Accounts), Borrower and each Restricted Subsidiary shall, no later than thirty (30) days after the Effective Date (or such later date as Administrative Agent may agree in its sole discretion), deliver to Administrative Agent duly
executed Account Control Agreements in accordance with and to the extent required by the Security Agreement.

Party, and (c) any Person may merge or consolidate with or into any Credit Party; provided that, in the case of this clause (c), (i) such Credit Party shall be the surviving entity of such merger or consolidation and (ii) such

any Borrowing Base Property of any of its Equity Interests, if in either case the aggregate, consolidated Equity Interests of the Credit Parties in such Restricted Subsidiary will be reduced as a result of such transaction. Notwithstanding the
foregoing to the contrary, if any Properties are transferred (by merger or otherwise) from one Credit Party to another Credit Party in any Asset Disposition or other transfer of Property permitted hereunder, such transferred Properties shall be
subject in each case to the requirements set forth in Article V.

permit any other Credit Party to, engage in any material transaction with any of their Affiliates (other than transactions among the Credit Parties) or any portfolio company Controlled by a Sponsor unless such transaction is generally as favorable
to such Credit Party as could be obtained in an arm’s length transaction with an Person not an Affiliate or otherwise Controlled by a Sponsor in accordance with prevailing industry customs and practices. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
restrictions set forth in this Section 9.8 shall not apply to (a) executing, delivering and performing obligations under the Loan Papers, (b) compensation to, and the terms of employment contracts with,

(a) Borrower will not, nor will Borrower permit any other Credit Party to, enter into any Oil and Gas Hedge Transactions (i) with a
duration longer than five years after the end of the month during which the applicable Oil and Gas Hedge Transaction is entered into, (ii) with any Person other than a Person that is an Approved Counterparty at the time such Oil and Gas Hedge
Transaction is entered into, or (iii) the notional volumes for which (when aggregated or netted, as appropriate, with other Oil and Gas Hedge Transactions then in effect other than basis differential swaps on volumes already hedged pursuant to
other Hedge Agreements) exceed, as of the date such Oil and Gas Hedge Transaction is entered into, 85% of the reasonably anticipated projected production (as such production is projected in the most recent Reserve Report delivered pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement and otherwise determined as described in Section 9.10(g)) attributable to Borrower’s and its Restricted Subsidiaries’ Proved Mineral Interests for each month during the period of such Oil
and Gas Hedge Transaction. 
 (b) If, after the end of any calendar quarter, Borrower determines that the aggregate weighted average of the
notional volumes of all Oil and Gas Hedge Transactions for such calendar quarter (other than basis differential swaps on volumes already hedged pursuant to other Oil and Gas Hedge Transactions) exceeded 100% of actual production of Hydrocarbons
attributable to Borrower’s and its Restricted Subsidiaries’ Proved Producing Mineral Interests in such calendar quarter, then Borrower (i) shall promptly notify Administrative Agent of such determination and (ii) shall, no later
than 30 days after such notice, terminate (only to the extent such terminations are permitted pursuant to Section 9.5), create off-setting positions, or otherwise unwind or monetize
(only to the extent such unwinds or monetizations are permitted pursuant to Section 9.5) existing Oil and Gas Hedge Transactions such that, at such time, future hedging volumes will not exceed 100% of reasonably anticipated
projected production attributable to Borrower’s and its Restricted Subsidiaries’ Proved Producing Mineral Interests for the then-current and any succeeding calendar quarters. 

(c) Borrower will not, nor will Borrower permit any other Credit Party to, enter into or permit to exist any Hedge Transactions with respect
to interest rates other than (i) Hedge Transactions effectively converting interest rates from floating to fixed, the notional amounts of which (when aggregated with all other Hedge Transactions of Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries then
in effect effectively converting interest rates from floating to fixed) do not exceed 75% of the then outstanding principal amount of the Credit Parties’ consolidated Debt for borrowed money which bears interest at a floating rate, and
(ii) Hedge Transactions that have the effect of unwinding or reducing, in whole or in part, Hedge Transactions permitted under the preceding clause (i). 

(d) Borrower will not, nor will Borrower permit any other Credit Party to, enter into any commodity, interest rate, currency or other swap,
option, collar or other derivative transaction pursuant to which any Credit Party speculates on the movement of commodity prices, securities prices, interest rates, financial markets, currency markets or other items; provided that, nothing
contained in this Section 9.10(d) shall prohibit any Credit Party from (i) entering into Hedge Transactions otherwise permitted by this Section 9.10, or (ii) making Permitted Investments.

collateral or margin to secure their obligations under such Hedge Agreement other than pursuant to the Loan Papers. 
 (g) For purposes of
entering into, maintaining or adjusting Hedge Agreements or Hedge Transactions under Section 9.10(a) and Section 9.10(b), respectively, forecasts of reasonably anticipated production attributable
to Borrower’s and its Restricted Subsidiaries’ Proved Mineral Interests as set forth on the most recent Reserve Report delivered pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be revised to account for any increase or decrease in forecasted
production that is anticipated because of information obtained by Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries subsequent to the publication of such Reserve Report including forecasts of production decline rates for existing wells received by any
Credit Party from the applicable operators of the oil and gas properties comprising the Credit Party’s Mineral Interests and additions to or deletions from anticipated future production from new wells and completed acquisitions coming on stream
or failing to come on stream. 
 (h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Borrower will not, and will not
permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, enter into any Hedge Agreement unless Borrower is a Qualified ECP Guarantor at such time.

in such Domestic Subsidiary and such Investment would be permitted to be made at the time of such designation under Section 9.7, (iii) such designation is deemed to 

  
 94 












 
be an Asset Disposition to the extent such Domestic Subsidiary owns Proved Mineral Interests and (iv) such Domestic Subsidiary is not a “restricted subsidiary” or guarantor with
respect to any Permitted Additional Debt. Except as provided in this Section 9.11(b), no Restricted Subsidiary may be redesignated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary. 

(c) Borrower may designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary if after giving effect to such designation, (i) the
representations and warranties of Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries contained in each of the Loan Papers are true and correct in all material respects on and as of such date as if made on and as of the date of such redesignation (except
(A) to the extent such representations and warranties are expressly stated as of a certain date, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such date and (B) to the extent

waiver or other change. 
 Section 9.13 Holding Company. Borrower shall not directly own any interest in any Proved Mineral
Interests of the Credit Parties. Any Proved Mineral Interests of the Credit Parties will at all times be owned by one or more Restricted Subsidiaries.

 ARTICLE XII 

AGENTS 

Section 12.1 Appointment and Authorization of Administrative Agent; Secured Hedge Transactions. 

(a) Each Bank hereby irrevocably (subject to Section 12.10) appoints, designates and authorizes Administrative Agent
to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Paper and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Paper, together
with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere herein or in any other Loan Paper, Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly
set forth herein, nor shall Administrative Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Bank or participant, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this
Agreement or any other Loan Paper or otherwise exist against Administrative Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” herein and in the other Loan Papers with reference to Administrative
Agent, any syndication agent or documentation agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market
custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. 
 (b) Each Letter
of Credit Issuer shall act on behalf of Banks with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith until such time (and except for so long) as Administrative Agent may agree at the request of the Majority Banks
to act for such Letter of Credit Issuer with respect thereto; provided, however, that each Letter of Credit Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (i) provided to Administrative Agent in this
Article XII with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by a Letter of Credit Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and the application and agreements for letters
of credit pertaining to the Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in this Article XII included each Letter of Credit Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions, and
(ii) as additionally provided herein with respect to each Letter of Credit Issuer. 
 Section 12.2 Delegation of Duties.
Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Paper by or through agents, sub-agents, employees or attorneys in fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel and
other consultants or experts concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney in fact that it selects in the absence of gross negligence or
willful misconduct. 

  
 98 












 Section 12.3 Default; Collateral. 

(a) Upon the occurrence and continuance of a Default or Event of Default, Banks agree to promptly confer in order that Majority Banks,
Required Banks or Banks, as the case may be, may agree upon a course of action for the enforcement of the rights of Banks; and Administrative Agent shall be entitled to refrain from taking any action (without incurring any liability to any Person
for so refraining) unless and until Administrative Agent shall have received instructions from Majority Banks, Required Banks or Banks, as the case may be. All rights of action under the Loan Papers and all right to the collateral under the Loan
Papers, if any, hereunder may be enforced by Administrative Agent and any suit or proceeding instituted by Administrative Agent in furtherance of such enforcement shall be brought in its name as Administrative Agent without the necessity of joining
as plaintiffs or defendants any other Secured Party, and the recovery of any judgment shall be for the benefit of the Secured Parties subject to the expenses of Administrative Agent. In actions with respect to any property of Borrower or any other
Credit Party, Administrative Agent is acting for the ratable benefit of each Secured Party as provided in the Loan Papers. Any and all agreements to subordinate (whether made heretofore or hereafter) other indebtedness or obligations of Borrower to
the Obligations shall be construed as being for the ratable benefit of each Secured Party as provided in the Loan Papers. 
 (b) Each
Secured Party authorizes and directs Administrative Agent to enter into the other Loan Papers on behalf of and for the benefit of such Secured Party (or if previously entered into, hereby ratifies Administrative Agent’s previously entering into
such agreements and other Loan Papers). 
 (c) Except to the extent unanimity (or other percentage set forth in
Section 14.2) is required hereunder, each Bank agrees that any action taken by Majority Banks or Required Banks, as the case may be, in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Papers, and the exercise by Majority Banks
or Required Banks, as the case may be, of the power set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of Banks. 

(d) Administrative Agent is hereby authorized on behalf of the Secured Parties, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from
any Secured Party, from time to time to take any action with respect to any collateral under the Loan Papers or any Loan Papers which may be necessary to perfect and maintain perfected the Liens upon such collateral granted pursuant to the other
Loan Papers. 
 (e) Administrative Agent shall not have any obligation whatsoever to any Secured Party or to any other Person to assure that
such collateral exists or is owned by the Person purporting to own it or is cared for, protected, or insured or has been encumbered or that the Liens granted to Administrative Agent herein or pursuant thereto have been properly or sufficiently or
lawfully created, perfected, protected, or enforced, or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure, or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights
granted or available to Administrative Agent in this Section 12.3 or in any of the other Loan Papers; IT BEING UNDERSTOOD AND AGREED THAT IN RESPECT OF THE COLLATERAL UNDER THE LOAN PAPERS, OR ANY ACT, OMISSION, OR EVENT
RELATED THERETO, ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT MAY (AS BETWEEN ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE SECURED PARTIES) ACT IN ANY MANNER IT MAY DEEM APPROPRIATE, IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION, GIVEN 

  
 99 












 
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S OWN INTEREST IN SUCH COLLATERAL AS ONE OF THE SECURED PARTIES AND THAT ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT SHALL HAVE NO DUTY OR LIABILITY WHATSOEVER TO ANY SECURED PARTY OTHER THAN
TO ACT WITHOUT GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT. 
 (f) In furtherance of the authorizations set forth in this
Section 12.3, each Secured Party hereby irrevocably appoints Administrative Agent as its attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, for
and on behalf of and in the name of each such Secured Party (i) to enter into the other Loan Papers (including any appointments of substitute trustees under any such Loan Papers), (ii) to take action with respect to the other Loan Papers and
the collateral thereunder to perfect, maintain, and preserve Administrative Agent’s Liens, and (iii) to execute instruments of release or to take other action necessary to release Liens upon any such collateral to the extent authorized in
Section 12.14. This power of attorney shall be liberally, not restrictively, construed so as to give the greatest latitude to Administrative Agent’s power, as attorney, relative to the matters described in this
Section 12.3 relating to collateral. The powers and authorities herein conferred on Administrative Agent may be exercised by Administrative Agent through any Person who, at the time of the execution of a particular
instrument, is an officer of Administrative Agent (or any Person acting on behalf of Administrative Agent pursuant to a valid power of attorney). The power of attorney conferred by this Section 12.3(f) to Administrative
Agent is granted for valuable consideration and is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable so long as the Obligations, or any part thereof, shall remain unpaid or the Banks are obligated to make any Loan or issue any Letter of Credit under the
Loan Papers. 
 Section 12.4 Liability of Administrative Agent. NO INDEMNIFIED ENTITY OF ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT SHALL (a) BE
LIABLE TO ANY SECURED PARTY FOR ANY ACTION TAKEN OR OMITTED TO BE TAKEN BY ANY OF THEM UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN PAPER OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (EXCEPT FOR ITS OWN GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL
MISCONDUCT IN CONNECTION WITH ITS DUTIES EXPRESSLY SET FORTH HEREIN), or (b) be responsible in any manner to any Secured Party or participant for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by Borrower or any other Credit Party or
any officer thereof, contained herein or in any other Loan Paper, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by Administrative Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other
Loan Paper, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Paper, or for the creation, perfection or priority of any Liens purported to be created by any of the Loan Papers, or the
validity, genuineness, enforceability, existence, value or sufficiency of any collateral security, or to make any inquiry respecting the performance by Borrower of its obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Paper, or for any failure of
Borrower or other Credit Party or any other party to any Credit Party to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Indemnified Entity of Administrative Agent shall be under any obligation to any Secured Party or participant to ascertain or
to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Paper, or to inspect the properties, books or records of Borrower or any other Credit Party or any Affiliate
thereof.

 Section 12.5 Reliance by Administrative Agent. 

(a) Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, communication, signature,
resolution, representation, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, electronic mail, or telephone message, statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed,
sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to Borrower or any other Credit Party), independent accountants and other experts selected by Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent
shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under any Loan Paper unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the requisite Majority Banks, Required Banks, or all Banks, as applicable, as it deems appropriate
and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by Banks against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Administrative Agent shall in all
cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Paper in accordance with a request or consent of the requisite Majority Banks, Required Banks, or all Banks, as applicable, and such request and
any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all Banks and participants. Where this Agreement expressly permits or prohibits an action unless the requisite Majority Banks or Required Banks otherwise determine,
Administrative Agent shall, and in all other instances, Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, initiate any solicitation for the consent or a vote of the requisite Banks. 

(b) For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Section 6.1, each Bank that has funded
its Applicable Percentage of the initial Loan on the Effective Date (or, if there is no Loan made on such date, each Bank other than Banks who gave written objection to Administrative Agent prior to such date) shall be deemed to have consented to,
approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter either sent by Administrative Agent to such Bank (or otherwise made available for such Bank on SyndTrak Online,
DXSyndicateTM or any similar website) for consent, approval, acceptance or satisfaction, or required hereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Bank. 

Section 12.6 Notice of Default. Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any
Default or Event of Default, except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to Administrative Agent for the account of Banks, unless Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from a
Bank or Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” Administrative Agent will notify Banks of its receipt of any such notice. Administrative Agent
shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as may be directed by the Majority Banks or Required Banks, as applicable, in accordance with this Agreement; provided, however, that unless and until
Administrative Agent has received any such direction, Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable or in
the best interest of Banks. 
 Section 12.7 Credit Decision; Disclosure of Information by Administrative Agent. Each Bank
acknowledges that no Indemnified Entity of Administrative Agent has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by Administrative Agent hereinafter taken, including any consent to and acceptance of any assignment or review of the
affairs of Borrower or any other Credit Party or any Affiliate thereof, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or 

  
 101 












 
warranty by any Indemnified Entity of Administrative Agent to any Bank as to any matter, including whether Indemnified Entities of Administrative Agent have disclosed material information in
their possession. Each Bank represents to Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Indemnified Entity of Administrative Agent and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own
appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Borrower and each other Credit Party, and all applicable bank or other regulatory laws relating to the
transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to Borrower hereunder. Each Bank also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Indemnified Entity of
Administrative Agent and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan
Papers, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Borrower and the other Credit Parties. In this regard, each
Bank acknowledges that Vinson & Elkins L.L.P. is acting in this transaction as counsel to Administrative Agent. Each other party hereto will consult with its own legal counsel to the extent that it deems necessary in connection with the
Loan Papers and the matters contemplated therein. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to Banks by Administrative Agent herein, Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide
any Bank with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any of the Credit Parties or any of their respective Affiliates which may come into the
possession of any Indemnified Entity of Administrative Agent. 
 Section 12.8 Indemnification of Agents. WHETHER OR NOT THE
TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY ARE CONSUMMATED, BANKS SHALL INDEMNIFY UPON DEMAND EACH INDEMNIFIED ENTITY OF ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT (TO THE EXTENT NOT REIMBURSED BY OR ON BEHALF OF BORROWER AND WITHOUT LIMITING THE OBLIGATION OF BORROWER TO DO SO),
IN ACCORDANCE WITH THEIR RESPECTIVE APPLICABLE PERCENTAGES, AND HOLD HARMLESS EACH INDEMNIFIED ENTITY OF ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL INDEMNIFIED LIABILITIES INCURRED BY IT (INCLUDING SUCH INDEMNIFIED ENTITY OF ADMINISTRATIVE
AGENT’S OWN NEGLIGENCE); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT NO BANK SHALL BE LIABLE FOR THE PAYMENT TO ANY INDEMNIFIED ENTITY OF ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OF ANY PORTION OF SUCH INDEMNIFIED LIABILITIES RESULTING FROM SUCH PERSON’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR
WILLFUL MISCONDUCT; provided, however, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Required Banks or Majority Banks, as applicable, shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this
Section 12.8. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Bank shall reimburse Administrative Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or
out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees) incurred by Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification,
amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Paper, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein,
to the extent that Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of Borrower. The undertaking in this Section 12.8 shall survive termination of the Commitments, the payment of all Obligations
hereunder and the resignation or replacement of Administrative Agent. 

  
 102 












 Section 12.9 Administrative Agent in its Individual Capacity. Wells Fargo Bank,
N.A. and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from, acquire Equity Interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with Borrower and its Affiliates as though Wells
Fargo Bank, N.A. were not Administrative Agent or the Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder and without notice to or consent of Banks. Banks acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. or its Affiliates may receive information
regarding Borrower or its Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of Borrower or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information
to them. With respect to its Loans, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Bank and may exercise such rights and powers as though it were not Administrative Agent or the Letter of Credit
Issuer, and the terms “Bank” and “Banks” include Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. in its individual capacity. 

Section 12.10 Successor Administrative Agent and Letter of Credit Issuer. Administrative Agent or the Letter of Credit Issuer may,
subject to the acceptance of the appointment of a successor as provided herein, resign at any time upon 30 days’ notice to Banks with a copy of such notice to Borrower. Upon any such notice by Administrative Agent or the Letter of Credit
Issuer, the Majority Banks shall, with the consent of Borrower at all times other than during the existence of an Event of Default (which consent of Borrower shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) appoint from among Banks a
successor administrative agent or letter of credit issuer. If no successor administrative agent or letter of credit issuer has both been appointed by the Majority Banks and accepted within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s or
Letter of Credit Issuer’s notice of resignation, Administrative Agent may appoint a successor administrative agent and/or letter of credit issuer which shall (a) be a commercial bank organized under the Laws of the United States of America
or of any State thereof and having a combined capital surplus of at least $500,000,000 and (b) unless the successor administrative agent and/or letter of credit issuer is a Bank, be reasonably acceptable to Borrower. Upon the acceptance of its
appointment as successor administrative agent and/or letter of credit issuer hereunder, (x) such successor administrative agent and/or letter of credit issuer shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Administrative
Agent or Letter of Credit Issuer, (y) the terms “Administrative Agent” and “Letter of Credit Issuer” shall respectively mean such successor administrative agent and letter of credit issuer, and (z) the retiring
Administrative Agent’s or Letter of Credit Issuer’s appointment, powers and duties as Administrative Agent or Letter of Credit Issuer shall be terminated. The retiring Letter of Credit Issuer shall remain the Letter of Credit Issuer with
respect to any Letters of Credit outstanding on the effective date of its resignation and the provisions affecting such Letter of Credit Issuer with respect to Letters of Credit shall inure to the benefit of the resigning Letter of Credit Issuer
until the termination of all such Letters of Credit. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article XII and Sections 14.3 and 14.5 shall inure to its
benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement. 
  

  
 103 












 Section 12.11 Syndication Agent; Other Agents; Arranger. None of the Banks or
other Persons identified on the facing page or signature pages of this Agreement as a “syndication agent,” as a “documentation agent,” any other type of agent (other than Administrative Agent), “arranger,” or
“bookrunner” shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to all Banks as such. Without limiting the foregoing, none of Banks so identified shall have or be
deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Bank. Each Bank acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any of Banks so identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder. 

Section 12.12 Administrative Agent May File Proof of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation,
bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to Borrower or other Credit Party, Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or Letter of Credit Exposure shall then
be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, 

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, Letter of Credit
Exposures and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of Banks, the Letter of Credit Issuer and Administrative Agent (including any claim for the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Banks, the Letter of Credit Issuer and Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due Banks, Letter of Credit Issuers and Administrative Agent
under Section 14.3) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and 
 (b) to collect and receive any monies or other
property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; 
 and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator
or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Bank and the Letter of Credit Issuer to make such payments to Administrative Agent and, in the event that Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such
payments directly to Banks and the Letter of Credit Issuer, to pay to Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts
due Administrative Agent under Section 14.3. 
 Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize Administrative Agent to
authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Bank or the Letter of Credit Issuer any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Bank or to authorize Administrative
Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Bank in any such proceeding. 
 Section 12.13 Secured Hedge Transactions. To the
extent any Approved Counterparty is a party to a Hedge Transaction with Borrower or other Credit Party and thereby becomes a Secured Hedge Provider and a beneficiary of the Liens pursuant to any Loan Paper, such Secured Hedge Provider shall be
deemed to appoint Administrative Agent its nominee and agent to act for and on behalf of such Affiliate in connection with such Loan Papers and to be bound by the terms of this Article XII, and the other provisions of this Agreement. 

  
 104

hereby agrees to take such actions at the request of Borrower: 
 (i) to release any Lien on any Property granted to or held by
Administrative Agent under any Loan Papers (x) upon (A) termination of all Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations) owing under the Loan Papers to Administrative Agent, the Banks and
(unless the Letter of Credit Issuer has advised Administrative Agent that the Obligations owing to it are otherwise adequately provided for) the Letter of Credit Issuer and owing to any Secured Hedge Provider under any Obligation with respect to a
Hedge Transaction (other than a Secured Hedge Provider that has advised Administrative Agent that the Obligations owing to it are otherwise adequately provided for or novated), and (B) termination of all Hedge Transactions with Secured Hedge
Providers (other than any Secured Hedge Provider that has advised Administrative Agent that such Hedge Transactions are otherwise adequately provided for or novated), (y) that is, or is to be, sold, released or otherwise disposed of as permitted
pursuant to the terms of the Loan Papers, or (z) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by Majority Banks (or, if approval, authorization or ratification by all Banks is required with respect to the release or substitution of all or
substantially all of the collateral for the Obligations pursuant to Section 14.2(c), then by all Banks); 
 (ii)
to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Loan Papers if such Person ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted under the Loan Papers; and 

(iii) to execute and deliver to Borrower, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, any and all releases of Liens, guaranty releases,
termination statements, assignments or other documents necessary or useful to accomplish or evidence the foregoing. 
 (b) Upon the request
of Administrative Agent at any time, Majority Banks will confirm in writing Administrative Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 12.14. 

(c) Notwithstanding anything contained in any of the Loan Papers to the contrary, no Person other than Administrative Agent has any individual
right to realize upon any of the collateral subject to the Security Instruments or to enforce any Liens or remedies under the Security Instruments, and all powers, rights and remedies under the Security Instruments may be exercised solely by
Administrative Agent on behalf of the Persons secured or otherwise benefitted thereby. 
 (d) By accepting the benefit of the Liens granted
pursuant to the Security Instruments, each Person secured by such Liens that is not a party hereto agrees to the terms of this Section 12.14 and each Secured Hedge Provider consents to the grant by the Credit Parties to
Administrative Agent of Liens on all Hedge Agreements and Hedge Transactions between such Secured Hedge Provider and any Credit Party.

(b) In addition, unless either (1) sub-clause (i) in the immediately preceding clause
(a) is true with respect to a Bank or (2) a Bank has provided another representation, warranty and covenant in accordance with sub-clause (iv) in the immediately preceding clause
(a), such Bank further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Bank party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Bank party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Bank party
hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent, each Arranger and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any other Credit Party, that none of the Administrative Agent, any
Arranger and their respective Affiliates is a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Bank involved in such Bank’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and
this Agreement (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any Loan Paper or any documents related hereto or thereto).

 Section 12.16 Erroneous Payments.  

(a) Each Bank and Letter of Credit Issuer hereby severally agrees that if (i) the Administrative Agent notifies (which such notice shall
be conclusive absent manifest error) such Bank or Letter of Credit Issuer that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Bank or Letter of Credit Issuer from the Administrative Agent or any of its
Affiliates were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Bank or Letter of Credit Issuer (whether or not known to such Bank or Letter of Credit Issuer) or (ii) it receives any payment from the
Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment,
(y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment or (z) that such Bank or Letter of Credit Issuer otherwise becomes aware was
transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part) then, in each case an error in payment has been made (any such amounts specified in clauses (i) or (ii) of this Section 12.16(a), whether received
as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees or otherwise; individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and the Bank or Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, is deemed to have knowledge of such
error at the time of its receipt of such Erroneous Payment and to the extent permitted by applicable law, such Bank or Letter of Credit Issuer shall not assert any right or claim to the Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, any claim, counterclaim,
defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payments received, including without limitation waiver of
any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine. 
 (b) Without limiting the immediately preceding clause
(a), each Bank and Letter of Credit Issuer agrees that, in the case of clause (a)(ii) above, it shall promptly (and, in all events, within one Business Day of its knowledge (or deemed knowledge) of such error) notify the Administrative
Agent in writing of such occurrence and, in the case of either clause (a)(i) or (a)(ii) above upon demand from the Administrative Agent, it shall promptly, but in all events no later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the
Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date
such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Bank or Letter of Credit Issuer to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined
by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. 
 (c) The
Borrower hereby agrees that (x) in the event an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Bank or Letter of Credit Issuer that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative
Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Bank or Letter of Credit Issuer with respect to such amount, 

  
 107 












 
(y) an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrower or any other Credit Party, except, in each case, to the extent such
Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower or any other Credit Party for the purpose of making a payment on any of the
Obligations, and (z) to the extent that an Erroneous Payment was in any way or at any time credited as payment or satisfaction of any of the Obligations or any part thereof that were so credited, and all rights of the applicable Bank, Letter of
Credit Issuer, Administrative Agent or other Secured Party, as the case may be, shall be reinstated and continue in full force and effect as if such payment or satisfaction had never been received, except to the extent such Erroneous Payment was,
and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that was, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower or any other Credit Party for the purpose of making a payment on any of the Obligations. 

Each party’s obligations under this Section 12.16 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or
any transfer of right or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Bank, the termination of the Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Paper. 

ARTICLE XIII 

PROTECTION OF YIELD; CHANGE IN LAWS 

Section 13.1 Changed Circumstances. 

(a) Circumstances Affecting Benchmark Availability. Subject to clause (c) below, in connection with any request for a SOFR
Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof or otherwise, if for any reason (i) the Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that reasonable and adequate means do not
exist for ascertaining Adjusted Term SOFR for the applicable Interest Period with respect to a proposed SOFR Loan on or prior to the first day of such Interest Period or (ii) the Majority Banks shall determine (which determination shall be
conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that Adjusted Term SOFR does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Banks of making or maintaining such Loans during such Interest Period, then, in each case, the Administrative Agent shall
promptly give notice thereof to the Borrower. Upon notice thereof by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, any obligation of the Banks to make SOFR Loans, and any right of the Borrower to convert any Borrowing to or continue any Borrowing as a
SOFR Borrowing, shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected SOFR Tranche or the affected Interest Periods) until the Administrative Agent (with respect to clause (ii), at the instruction of the Majority Banks) revokes such notice. Upon receipt
of such notice, (A) the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Loans (to the extent of the affected SOFR Tranche or the affected Interest Periods) or, failing that, the Borrower will be
deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to Adjusted Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein and (B) any outstanding affected SOFR Loans will be deemed to have been converted into
Adjusted Base Rate Loans at the end of the applicable Interest Period. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted, together with any additional amounts, if any, required
pursuant to Section 3.3. 

  
 108 












 (b) Laws Affecting SOFR Availability. If, after the date hereof, the introduction of,
or any change in, any applicable law or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any of
the Banks (or any of their respective Lending Offices) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency, shall make it unlawful or impossible for any of the
Banks (or any of their respective Lending Offices) to honor its obligations hereunder to make or maintain any SOFR Loan, or to determine or charge interest based upon SOFR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Adjusted Term SOFR or Term SOFR, such Bank
shall promptly give notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice to the Borrower and the other Banks as soon as reasonably practicable. Thereafter, until the Administrative Agent notifies the
Borrower that such circumstances no longer exist, (i) any obligation of the Banks to make SOFR Loans, and any right of the Borrower to convert any Loan to a SOFR Loan or continue any Loan as a SOFR Loan, shall be suspended and (ii) if
necessary to avoid such illegality, the Administrative Agent shall compute the Adjusted Base Rate without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Adjusted Base Rate”, in each case until each such affected Bank notifies the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, upon demand from any Bank (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all affected SOFR Loans to Adjusted Base Rate Loans (in each case, if necessary to avoid such illegality, the Administrative Agent shall compute the Adjusted Base Rate without reference to
clause (c) of the definition of “Adjusted Base Rate”), on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if all affected Banks may lawfully continue to maintain such SOFR Loans, to such day, or immediately, if any Bank may not lawfully
continue to maintain such SOFR Loans to such day. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted, together with any additional amounts required, if any, pursuant to
Section 3.3. 
 (c) Benchmark Replacement Setting. 

(i) Benchmark Replacement. 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Paper, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, the Administrative Agent and
the Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace the then-current Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Administrative Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all affected Banks and the Borrower so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written
notice of objection to such amendment from Banks comprising the Majority Banks. No replacement of a Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this Section 13.1(c)(i) will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark
Transition Start Date. 
 (ii) Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the use, administration, adoption or
implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Paper, any amendments implementing such
Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Paper. 

  
 109 












 (iii) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent
will promptly notify the Borrower and the Banks of (A) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (B) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a
Benchmark Replacement. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower of the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 13.1(c). Any determination, decision or election that may be
made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Bank (or group of Banks) pursuant to this Section 13.1(c), including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole
discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Paper, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 13.1(c). 

(iv) Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Paper, at any time
(including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (A) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including the Term SOFR Reference Rate) and either (1) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or
other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (2) the administrator of such Benchmark or the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such
Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or will not be representative or in compliance with or aligned with the International Organization of Securities Commissions
(IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable,
non-representative, non-compliant or non-aligned tenor and (B) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (A) above
either (1) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (2) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is not or will not be representative or in
compliance with or aligned with the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of
“Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor. 

(v) Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability
Period, (A) the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed
to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to Adjusted Base Rate Loans and (B) any outstanding affected SOFR Loans will be deemed to have been converted to Adjusted Base Rate Loans at the end of the
applicable Interest Period. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of the Adjusted Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor
for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of the Adjusted Base Rate. 

  
 110 












 Section 13.2 [Reserved]. 

Section 13.3 Increased Costs. 

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

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets
of, deposits with or for the account of, or advances, loans or other credit extended or participated in by, any Bank or the Letter of Credit Issuer; 

(ii) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes and (B) Excluded Taxes) on its loans, loan principal,
letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or 

(iii) impose on any Bank or the Letter of Credit Issuer any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or
Loans made by such Bank or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; 
 and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such
Bank or such other Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan, or to increase the cost to such Bank, the Letter of Credit Issuer or such other Recipient of
participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Bank, the Letter of Credit Issuer
or other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Bank, the Letter of Credit Issuer or other Recipient, Borrower will pay to such Bank, the Letter of Credit Issuer or other Recipient, as the
case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank, the Letter of Credit Issuer or other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. 

(b) Capital Requirements. If any Bank or the Letter of Credit Issuer determines that any Change in Law affecting such Bank or the
Letter of Credit Issuer or any lending office of such Bank or such Bank’s or the Letter of Credit Issuer’s holding company, if any, regarding capital adequacy or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of
return on such Bank’s or the Letter of Credit Issuer’s capital or on the capital of such Bank’s or the Letter of Credit Issuer’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Bank or the
Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit, such Bank, or the Letters of Credit issued by the Letter of Credit Issuer, to a level below that which such Bank or the Letter of Credit Issuer or such Bank’s or the Letter of Credit
Issuer’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Bank’s or the Letter of Credit Issuer’s policies and the policies of such Bank’s or the Letter of Credit Issuer’s
holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time Borrower will pay to such Bank or the Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank or the Letter of Credit
Issuer or such Bank’s or the Letter of Credit Issuer’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. 

  
 111 












 (c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Bank or the Letter of Credit
Issuer setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Bank or the Letter of Credit Issuer or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to Borrower, shall
be conclusive absent manifest error. Borrower shall pay such Bank or the Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof. 

(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Bank or the Letter of Credit Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to this
Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Bank’s or the Letter of Credit Issuer’s right to demand such compensation; provided that Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Bank or the Letter of Credit Issuer pursuant to this
Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Bank or the Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, notifies Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or
reductions, and of such Bank’s or the Letter of Credit Issuer’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period
referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof). 
 Section 13.4 [Reserved]. 

Section 13.5 Taxes. 

(a) For purposes of this Section 13.5, the term “Bank” includes any Letter of Credit Issuer and the term
“applicable law” includes FATCA. 
 (b) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Credit Party under any Loan
Paper shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of
any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be 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 Credit Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and
withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made. 

(c) The Credit Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of
Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes. 

  
 112 












 (d) The Credit Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within 10 days
after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted
from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to
the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrower by a Bank (with a copy to Administrative Agent), or by Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Bank, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

(e) Each Bank shall severally indemnify Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes
attributable to such Bank (but only to the extent that any Credit Party has not already indemnified Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Credit Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to
such Bank’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 14.8(b) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Bank, in each case, that are payable or
paid by Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Paper, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A
certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Bank by Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Bank hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time
owing to such Bank under any Loan Paper or otherwise payable by Administrative Agent to such Bank from any other source against any amount due to Administrative Agent under this Section 13.5(e). 

(f) As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Credit Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this
Section 13.5, such Credit Party shall deliver to Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment
or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent. 
 (g) (i) Any Bank that is entitled to an exemption from
or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Paper shall deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent, such properly completed and
executed documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Bank, if reasonably requested by Borrower or
Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent as will enable Borrower or Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Bank 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 13.5(g)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in Bank’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Bank to any material unreimbursed cost
or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Bank. 
 (ii) Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, 

  
 113 












 (A) any Bank that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent on or
prior to the date on which such Bank becomes a Bank under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or Administrative Agent), an executed copy of IRS Form W-9
certifying that such Bank is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax; 
 (B) any Foreign Bank shall, to the extent it is legally
entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Bank becomes a Bank under this Agreement (and from time to time
thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable: 
 (i)
in the case of a Foreign Bank 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 Paper, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN-E, 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 Paper, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, 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; 
 (ii) executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI; 
 (iii) in the case of a Foreign Bank 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 I-1 to the effect that such Foreign Bank is not a “bank” within the
meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of 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 copies of IRS Form W-8BEN-E; or 

(iv) to the extent a Foreign Bank is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form
W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, a U.S. Tax
Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit I-2 or Exhibit I-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other
certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Bank is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Bank are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign
Bank may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit I-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner; 

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

  
 114 












 (D) if a payment made to a Bank under any Loan Paper would be subject to U.S. federal
withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Bank 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 Bank shall deliver to Borrower
and Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by
Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent as may be necessary for Borrower and Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to
determine that such Bank has complied with such Bank’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. 
 (h) Each Bank agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes
obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify Borrower and Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. 

(i) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a
refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 13.5 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 13.5), it shall pay to the
indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all
out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect
to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this subsection (i) (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 subsection (i), in no event will the indemnified party
be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this subsection (i) 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 subsection (i) 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. 
 (j) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 13.5 shall survive the
resignation or replacement of Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Bank, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Paper. 

  
 115 












 Section 13.6 Discretion of Banks as to Manner of Funding. Notwithstanding any
provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, each Bank shall be entitled to fund and maintain its funding of all or any part of its Commitment in any manner it sees fit, it being understood, however, that for the purposes of this Agreement all
determinations hereunder shall be made as if such Bank had actually funded and maintained the Loans (or any portion thereof) subject to a SOFR Tranche during the Interest Period for the Loans (or any portion thereof) through the acceptance of
deposits having a maturity corresponding to the last day of such Interest Period and bearing an interest rate equal to the Adjusted Term SOFR for such Interest Period. 

Section 13.7 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Banks. 

(a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Bank requests compensation under Section 13.3, or
requires Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Bank or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Bank pursuant to Section 13.5, then such Bank shall (at the request of Borrower) 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 Bank, such
designation or assignment (x) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 13.3 or Section 13.5, as the case may be, in the future, and (y) would not subject such Bank to any
unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Bank. Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Bank in connection with any such designation or assignment. 

(b) Replacement of Banks. If (i) any Bank requests compensation under Section 13.3, (ii) the obligation
of any Bank to make SOFR Loans or continue Loans as SOFR Loans has been suspended pursuant to Section 13.4, (iii) Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Bank or any Governmental
Authority for the account of any Bank pursuant to Section 13.5 and, in each case, such Bank has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with Section 13.7(a), or
(iv) any Bank is a Defaulting Bank or a Non-Consenting Bank, then Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Bank and Administrative Agent, require such Bank to assign and delegate,
without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 14.8), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to
Section 13.3 or Section 13.5) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Papers to an eligible assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Bank, if a Bank accepts
such assignment); provided that: 
 (i) Borrower shall have paid to Administrative Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in
Section 14.8; 
 (ii) such Bank shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of
its Loans and participations in Letter of Credit Exposure, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Papers (including any amounts under Section 3.3) from
the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or Borrower (in the case of all other amounts); 

  
 116 












 (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under
Section 13.3 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 13.5, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; 

(iv) in the case of any such assignment resulting from the suspension of an obligation to make SOFR Loans or continue Loans as SOFR Loans
under Section 13.4, such assignment will result in a resumption of such obligation in whole or in part; 
 (v)
such assignment does not conflict with applicable Law; and 
 (vi) in the case of any assignment resulting from a Bank becoming a Non-Consenting Bank, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent. 
 A
Bank shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Bank or otherwise, the circumstances entitling Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, a Bank shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if such Bank is a Secured Hedge Provider with any outstanding Hedge Transaction with any Credit Party (to the extent obligations under such Hedge Transactions
constitute Obligations), unless on or prior thereto, all such Hedge Transactions have been terminated or novated to another Person and such Bank (or its Affiliate) shall have received payment of all amounts, if any, payable to it in connection with
such termination or novation. If any Bank refuses, pursuant to the previous sentence, to make any such assignment and delegation, such Bank shall give all reasonable cooperation to Borrower to effect such termination or novation of such Hedge
Transactions.

securities for purposes of United States Federal or state securities laws. 
 (e) Reliance by Administrative Agent, Letter of Credit
Issuer and Banks. Administrative Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer and Banks shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices (including telephonic Requests for Borrowing) purportedly given by or on behalf of Borrower even if (i) such
notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof.
Borrower shall indemnify Administrative Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer, each Bank and the Affiliates of each of them from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such Person on each notice purportedly given by
or on behalf of Borrower. All telephonic notices to and other telephonic communications with Administrative Agent may be recorded by Administrative Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording. 

Section 14.2 Waivers and Amendments; Acknowledgments. 

(a) No failure or delay (whether by course of conduct or otherwise) by any Bank or Administrative Agent in exercising any right, power or
remedy which they may have under any of the Loan Papers shall operate as a waiver thereof or of any other right, power or remedy, nor shall any single or partial exercise by any Bank or Administrative Agent of any such right, power or remedy
preclude any other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or remedy. No waiver of any provision of any Loan Paper and no consent to any departure therefrom shall ever be effective unless it is in writing and signed by Majority
Banks and/or Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 14.2(c), and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instances and for the purposes for which given and to the extent specified in
such writing. No notice to or demand on Borrower shall in any case of itself entitle Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. This Agreement and the other Loan Papers set forth the entire understanding and
agreement of the parties hereto and thereto with respect to the transactions contemplated herein and therein and supersede all prior discussions and understandings with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and no modification or
amendment of or supplement to this Agreement or the other Loan Papers shall be valid or effective unless the same is in compliance with Section 14.2(c). 

  
 119

or any Agent, (vii) should an Event of Default or Default occur or exist each Bank and each Agent will determine in its sole and absolute discretion and for its own reasons what remedies and actions it will or will not exercise or take at that
time, (viii) without limiting any of the foregoing, Borrower is not relying upon any representation or covenant by any Bank or any Agent or any representative thereof, and no such representation or covenant has been made, that any Bank or any
Agent will, at the time of an Event of Default, or at any other time, waive, negotiate, discuss, or take or refrain from taking any action permitted under the Loan Papers with respect to any such Event of Default or Default or any other provision of
the Loan Papers, and (ix) each Bank has relied upon the truthfulness of the acknowledgments in this Section 14.2(b) in deciding to execute and deliver this Agreement and to make the Loans. 

(c) The Aggregate Elected Commitment Amount, a Bank’s Elected Commitment Amount, a Bank’s Maximum Credit Amount, the Applicable
Percentage of each Bank and Schedule 1 to this Agreement may be amended as set forth in Section 2.15 and Section 14.8(c). Subject to Section 2.5(g) and
Section 13.1(c), any other provision of this Agreement, the Notes or the other Loan Papers may be amended or waived if, but only if such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed by Borrower and Majority Banks (and,
if the rights or duties of Administrative Agent are affected thereby, by Administrative Agent); provided that, (i) no such amendment or waiver shall (A) increase the Commitment, Elected Commitment or Maximum Credit Amount of any
Bank without the written consent of such Bank, (B) subject any Bank to any additional obligation to extend credit without the written consent of such Bank, or (C) decrease (other than pursuant to Section 4.6,
Section 4.7 and Section 5.2) or maintain the Borrowing Base without the consent of the Required Banks and (ii) no such amendment or waiver shall unless signed by all Banks (or, in the case of
the following clauses (C) and (D), each Bank affected thereby): (A) increase the Borrowing Base, (B) amend or waive any of the provisions of Section 4.2, Section 4.3,
Section 4.4 or Section 4.5 or the definitions contained in Section 1.1 applicable thereto in any manner that results in any increase in the Borrowing Base,
(C) forgive any of the principal of or reduce the rate of interest on the Loans (other than as a result of the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement in accordance with Section 13.1(c)) or any fees hereunder,
(D) postpone the Termination Date or any date fixed for any payment of principal of or interest on the Loan or any fees hereunder (provided that the amounts to be paid may be determined or modified

inconsistency or defect or correct any typographical error or other manifest error in any Loan Paper, and (y) Administrative Agent and Borrower (or other applicable Credit Party) may enter into any amendment, modification or waiver of this
Agreement or any other Loan Paper or enter into any agreement or instrument to effect the granting, perfection, protection, expansion or enhancement of any security interest in any Mortgaged Property or Property to become Mortgaged Property to
secure the Obligations for the benefit of the Secured Parties or as required by any applicable Law to give effect to, protect or otherwise enhance the rights or benefits of any Bank under the Loan Papers without the consent of any Bank. Borrower,
Administrative Agent and each Bank further acknowledge that any decision by Administrative Agent or any Bank to enter into any amendment, waiver or consent pursuant hereto shall be made by such Bank or Administrative Agent in its sole discretion,
and in making any such decision Administrative Agent and each such Bank shall be permitted to give due consideration to any credit or other relationship Administrative Agent or any such Bank may have with Borrower, any other Credit Party or any
Affiliate of any Credit Party.

(a) Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable and documented
out-of-pocket expenses of Administrative Agent, including reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of special counsel for Administrative Agent, in connection

 121 












 (b) BORROWER AGREES TO INDEMNIFY EACH INDEMNIFIED ENTITY (AS DEFINED BELOW), UPON DEMAND,
FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL LIABILITIES, OBLIGATIONS, CLAIMS, LOSSES, DAMAGES, PENALTIES, FINES, ACTIONS, JUDGMENTS, SUITS, SETTLEMENTS, COSTS, EXPENSES OR DISBURSEMENTS (INCLUDING REASONABLE FEES OF ATTORNEYS, ACCOUNTANTS, EXPERTS AND ADVISORS) OF
ANY KIND OR NATURE WHATSOEVER (IN THIS SECTION COLLECTIVELY CALLED “LIABILITIES AND COSTS”) WHICH TO ANY EXTENT (IN WHOLE OR IN PART) MAY BE IMPOSED ON, INCURRED BY, OR ASSERTED AGAINST SUCH INDEMNIFIED ENTITY ARISING OUT OF, IN
CONNECTION WITH, OR AS A RESULT OF ANY OF THE COLLATERAL FOR THE LOANS, THE LOAN PAPERS, OR THE TRANSACTIONS AND EVENTS (INCLUDING THE ENFORCEMENT OR DEFENSE THEREOF) AT ANY TIME PROVIDED FOR OR CONTEMPLATED THEREIN (INCLUDING ANY VIOLATION OR
NONCOMPLIANCE WITH ANY APPLICABLE ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS BY ANY CREDIT PARTY OR ANY LIABILITIES OR DUTIES OF ANY CREDIT PARTY OR OF ANY INDEMNIFIED ENTITY WITH RESPECT TO HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES FOUND IN OR RELEASED INTO THE ENVIRONMENT). THIS
SECTION 14.3(b) SHALL NOT APPLY WITH RESPECT TO TAXES OTHER THAN ANY TAXES THAT REPRESENT LOSSES, CLAIMS, DAMAGES, ETC. ARISING FROM ANY NON-TAX CLAIM. 

THE FOREGOING INDEMNIFICATION SHALL APPLY WHETHER OR NOT SUCH LIABILITIES AND COSTS ARE IN ANY WAY OR TO ANY EXTENT OWED, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, UNDER ANY CLAIM
OR THEORY OF STRICT LIABILITY OR ARE IN ANY EXTENT CAUSED, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, BY ANY NEGLIGENT ACT OR OMISSION OF ANY KIND BY ANY INDEMNIFIED ENTITY; PROVIDED THAT, NO INDEMNIFIED ENTITY SHALL BE ENTITLED UNDER THIS
SECTION 14.3(b) TO RECEIVE INDEMNIFICATION FOR THAT PORTION, IF ANY, OF ANY LIABILITIES AND COSTS RESULTING FROM (A) SUCH INDEMNIFIED ENTITY’S OWN INDIVIDUAL GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT,
(B) A CLAIM BROUGHT BY ANY CREDIT PARTY AGAINST AN INDEMNIFIED ENTITY FOR A BREACH IN BAD FAITH OF SUCH INDEMNIFIED ENTITY’S OBLIGATIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN PAPERS, OR (C) A DISPUTE SOLELY BETWEEN OR
AMONG THE INDEMNIFIED ENTITIES THAT DOES NOT INVOLVE ANY ACTION OR OMISSION BY BORROWER, ANY OTHER CREDIT PARTY OR ANY OF THEIR SUBSIDIARIES OR AFFILIATES, OTHER THAN CLAIMS AGAINST ANY OF ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR BANK OR ANY OF THEIR AFFILIATES IN
THEIR CAPACITIES OR FULFILLING THEIR ROLES AS “ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT”, “ARRANGER”, “LEAD ARRANGER”, OR ANY SIMILAR ROLE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, IN EACH CASE, AS DETERMINED BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION IN A FINAL, NON-APPEALABLE JUDGMENT. AS USED HEREIN, THE TERM “INDEMNIFIED ENTITY” REFERS TO EACH BANK, ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, LETTER OF CREDIT ISSUER, AND EACH DIRECTOR, OFFICER, AGENT, TRUSTEE, MANAGER,
ATTORNEY, EMPLOYEE, REPRESENTATIVE, PARTNER, ADVISORS, AGENTS AND AFFILIATE OF ANY SUCH PERSON AND THEIR RESPECTIVE HEIRS, SUCCESSORS AND PERMITTED ASSIGNS. 

(c) The agreements in this Section 14.3 shall survive the resignation of Administrative Agent, the Letter of Credit
Issuer, the replacement of any Bank, the termination of the Total Commitment, the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations, and the termination of the Loan Papers. 

  
 122 












 Section 14.4 Right and Sharing of
Set-Offs. 
 (a) If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Bank 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 indebtedness at any time
owing by such Bank to or for the credit or the account of any Credit Party against any and all of the obligations now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and any Note held by such Bank, irrespective of whether or not such Bank shall have made
any demand under this Agreement or such Note and although such obligations may be unmatured. Each Bank agrees promptly to notify such Credit Party after any such setoff and application made by such Bank, provided that the failure to give such notice
shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of each Bank under this Section 14.4(a) are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Bank may have. 

(b) Each Bank agrees that if it shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, receive payment after the occurrence
and during the continuance of an Event of Default of a proportion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest due with respect to the Loans which is greater than the proportion received by any other Bank in respect of the Loans, the Bank
receiving such proportionately greater payment shall purchase such participations in the interests in the Loans held by the other Banks, and such other adjustments shall be made, as may be required so that all such payments of principal and interest
with respect to the Loans held by Banks shall be shared by Banks ratably in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages; provided that nothing in this Section 14.4(b) shall impair the right of any Bank to
exercise any right of setoff or counterclaim it may have and to apply the amount subject to such exercise to the payment of indebtedness of any Credit Party other than its indebtedness under the Loans. Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent they may
effectively do so under applicable Law, that Participants may exercise rights of setoff or counterclaim and other rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such holder of a participation were a direct creditor of Borrower in the
amount of such participation; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to this Section 14.4(b) as though it were a Bank. 

Section 14.5 Survival. All of the various representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and agreements in the Loan Papers
shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Papers and the performance hereof and thereof, including the making or granting of the Loans and the delivery of the Notes and the other Loan Papers, and shall further
survive until all of the Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations) owing under the Loan Papers to Administrative Agent, the Banks and (unless the Letter of Credit Issuer has advised Administrative Agent that the Obligations
owing to it are otherwise adequately provided for) the Letter of Credit Issuer are paid in full and all of Banks’ obligations to Borrower are terminated, and at such time Administrative Agent shall, upon request by Borrower, confirm that this
Agreement and the other Loan Papers have terminated; provided that, (a) to the extent expressly provided in any indemnification clause contained herein or in any other Loan Paper, such indemnification obligation shall survive payment in
full of the Obligations and termination of the obligations of Banks to Borrower hereunder and (b) release of the Liens under the Security Instruments shall be subject to Section 12.14. All statements and agreements by
Borrower to any Bank or Administrative Agent in any Loan Paper shall be deemed representations and warranties by Borrower or agreements and covenants of Borrower under this Agreement. The representations, warranties and covenants made by any Credit
Party (as applicable) in the Loan Papers, and the rights, powers and privileges granted to Banks and Administrative Agent in the 

  
 123 












 
Loan Papers, are cumulative, and, except for expressly specified waivers and consents, no Loan Paper shall be construed in the context of another to diminish, nullify, or otherwise reduce the
benefit to Banks and Administrative Agent of any such representation, warranty, covenant, right, power or privilege. In particular and without limitation, no exception set out in this Agreement to any representation, warranty or covenant herein
contained shall apply to any similar representation, warranty or covenant contained in any other Loan Paper, and each such similar representation, warranty or covenant shall be subject only to those exceptions which are expressly made applicable to
it by the terms of the various Loan Papers. 
 Section 14.6 Limitation on Interest. Each Bank, each Agent, Borrower, each other
Credit Party and any other parties to the Loan Papers intend to contract in strict compliance with applicable usury Law from time to time in effect. In furtherance thereof such Persons stipulate and agree that none of the terms and provisions
contained in the Loan Papers shall ever be construed to create a contract to pay, for the use, forbearance or detention of money, interest in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate. None of Borrower, any other Credit Party, nor any present or future
guarantors, endorsers, or other Persons hereafter becoming liable for payment of any Obligation shall ever be liable for unearned interest thereon or shall ever be required to pay interest thereon in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate and the
provisions of this Section 14.6 shall control over all other provisions of the Loan Papers which may be in conflict or apparent conflict herewith. Each Bank and Administrative Agent expressly disavow any intention to charge
or collect excessive unearned interest or finance charges in the event the maturity of any Obligation is accelerated. If (a) the maturity of any Obligation is accelerated for any reason, (b) any Obligation is prepaid and as a result any
amounts held to constitute interest are determined to be in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate, or (c) any Bank or any other holder of any or all of the Obligations shall otherwise collect moneys which are determined to constitute interest which
would otherwise increase the interest on any or all of the Obligations to an amount in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate, then all such sums determined to constitute interest in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate shall, without penalty, be promptly
applied to reduce the then outstanding principal of the related Obligations or, at any Bank’s or such holder’s option, promptly returned to Borrower or the other payor thereof upon such determination. In determining whether or not the
interest paid or payable, under any specific circumstance, exceeds the Maximum Lawful Rate, Administrative Agent, Banks, Borrower and the other Credit Parties (and any other payors or payees thereof) shall to the greatest extent permitted under
applicable Law, (i) characterize any non-principal payment as an expense, fee or premium rather than as interest, (ii) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (iii) amortize,
prorate, allocate, and spread the total amount of interest throughout the entire contemplated term of the instrument evidencing the Obligations in accordance with the amounts outstanding from time to time thereunder and the Maximum Lawful Rate in
order to lawfully charge the Maximum Lawful Rate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if at any time the rate of interest calculated with reference to the Adjusted Base Rate or the Adjusted Term SOFR hereunder (as
used in this sub-section, the “contract rate”) is limited to the Maximum Lawful Rate, any subsequent reductions in the contract rate shall not reduce the rate of interest on the Loans below the
Maximum Lawful Rate until the total amount of interest accrued equals the amount of interest which would have accrued if the contract rate had at all times been in effect. In the event that at maturity (stated or by acceleration), or at final
payment of any Loan, the total amount of interest paid or accrued on such Loan is less than the amount of interest which would have accrued if the contract rate had at all times been in effect with respect thereto, then at such time, to the extent
permitted by Law, Borrower shall pay 

  
 124 












 
to the holder of such Loan an amount equal to the difference between (i) the lesser of the amount of interest which would have accrued if the contract rate had at all times been in effect
and the amount of interest which would have accrued if the Maximum Lawful Rate had at all times been in effect, and (ii) the amount of interest actually paid on such Loan. 

Section 14.7 Invalid Provisions. If any provision of the Loan Papers is held to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable under
present or future Laws effective during the term thereof, such provision shall be fully severable, the Loan Papers shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part thereof, and the
remaining provisions thereof shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision or by its severance therefrom. Furthermore, in lieu of such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision
there shall be added automatically as a part of the Loan Papers a provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision as may be possible and be legal, valid and enforceable. 

Section 14.8 Successors and Assigns. 

(a) Each Loan Paper binds and inures to the parties thereto and each of their respective successors and permitted assigns permitted thereby
(including any Affiliate of Letter of Credit Issuer that issues any Letter of Credit and Participants to the extent provided in Section 14.8(b)), and any Indemnified Entity of each of Administrative Agent, the Letter of
Credit Issuer and Banks. No Credit Party may assign or transfer any rights or obligations under any Loan Paper without first obtaining the consent of all Banks (other than any Defaulting Bank), and any purported assignment or transfer without all
Banks’ consent is void. No Bank may transfer, pledge, assign, sell any participation in, or otherwise encumber its portion of the Obligations except as permitted by clauses (b) or (c) below. 

(b) Any Bank may (subject to the provisions of this section, in accordance with applicable Law, in the ordinary course of its business, and at
any time) sell to one or more Persons (each a “Participant”) participating interests in its portion of the Obligations. The selling Bank remains a “Bank” under the Loan Papers, the Participant does not become a
“Bank” under the Loan Papers, and the selling Bank’s obligations under the Loan Papers remain unchanged. The selling Bank remains solely responsible for the performance of its obligations and remains the holder of its share of the
outstanding Loans for all purposes under the Loan Papers. Borrower and Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with the selling Bank in connection with that Bank’s rights and obligations under the Loan Papers, and each
Bank must retain the sole right and responsibility to enforce due obligations of Borrower and/or any other Credit Party. Participants have no rights under the Loan Papers except certain voting rights as provided below. Subject to the following, each
Bank may obtain (on behalf of its Participants) the benefits of Article XIII with respect to all participations in its part of the Obligations outstanding from time to time (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the
requirements under Section 13.5(g) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 13.5(g) shall be delivered to the participating Bank)) to the same extent as if it were a Bank
and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 14.8(c); provided that such Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Article XIII with respect to its
participation, than its participating Bank 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


  
 125 












 
the applicable participation. No Bank may sell any participating interest under which the Participant has any rights to approve any amendment, modification, or waiver of any Loan Paper except to
the extent such amendment, modification or waiver would (i) extend the Termination Date, (ii) reduce the interest rate or fees applicable to the Commitments or any portion of the Loans in which such Participant is participating, or
postpone the payment of any thereof, or (iii) release all or substantially all of the collateral or guarantees securing any portion of the Aggregate Maximum Credit Amount or the Loans in which such Participant is participating. In addition,
each agreement creating any participation must include an agreement by the Participant to be bound by the provisions of Section 14.14. 

(c) Each Bank that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of 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 Papers (the “Participant Register”); provided that
no Bank shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its
other obligations under any Loan Paper) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under
Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Bank 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, Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall
have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. 
 (d) Each Bank may make assignments to the Federal Reserve Bank or any
central bank having jurisdiction over such Bank. Each Bank may also assign to one or more assignees (each an “Assignee”) all or any part of its rights and obligations under the Loan Papers so long as (i) Administrative Agent
consents in writing thereto (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), provided that no such consent shall be required for an assignment to a Bank or an Affiliate of a Bank, (ii) Borrower consents in writing thereto (such
consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), provided that no such consent shall be required for an assignment to a Bank, an Affiliate of a Bank, or, if an Event of Default exists, any other assignee, (iii) the assignor Bank and
Assignee execute and deliver to Administrative Agent an assignment and assumption agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit E (an “Assignment and Assumption Agreement”) and pay to Administrative Agent
a processing fee of $3,500, (iv) the Assignee acquires an identical percentage interest in the Maximum Credit Amount and Elected Commitment of the assignor Bank and an identical percentage of the interests in the outstanding Loans held by such
assignor Bank, and (v) the conditions (including minimum amounts of the Aggregate Maximum Credit Amount that may be assigned or that must be retained) for that assignment set forth in the applicable Assignment and Assumption Agreement are

the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the FDIC 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 Papers 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 Papers 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 Papers were
governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Bank shall in no event affect the rights
of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.
