Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 A.M. at least two Business Days (or such later date and time as the Administrative Agent and such Issuing Lender may agree in a particular instance in their sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance
date or date of amendment, as the case may be. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such L/C Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to such Issuing Lender: (A) the proposed issuance date of
the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount thereof; (C) the expiry date thereof; (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the


  
 27 









 
documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder;
and (G) such other matters as such Issuing Lender may require. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such L/C Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to such Issuing Lender (A) the
Letter of Credit to be amended; (B) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (C) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (D) such other matters as such Issuing Lender may require. Additionally, the
Borrower shall furnish to such Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent such other documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment as such Issuing Lender or the Administrative Agent may require.

 (b) Promptly after receipt of any L/C Application, such Issuing Lender will confirm with the Administrative
Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such L/C Application from the Borrower and, if not, such Issuing Lender will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Administrative Agent will
promptly notify each Lender of the receipt of such L/C Application. Unless such Issuing Lender has received written notice from any Lender, the Administrative Agent or any Loan Party, at least one Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance
or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained in Article 5 shall not then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, such Issuing Lender shall, on the requested date,
issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower (or a Subsidiary Guarantor, as applicable) or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with such Issuing Lender’s usual and customary business
practices. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from such Issuing Lender a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount
equal to the product of such Lender’s Aggregate Exposure Percentage times the amount of such Letter of Credit. 
 (c) Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, such Issuing Lender will also deliver

Issuing Lender shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof. Not later than 11:00 A.M. on the date of any payment by such Issuing Lender under a Letter of Credit (each such date, an “Honor Date”), the Borrower
shall reimburse such Issuing Lender through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing. If the 

  
 28 









 
Borrower fails to so reimburse such Issuing Lender by such time, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the
“Unreimbursed Amount”), and the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Percentage thereof. In such event, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a borrowing of Base Rate Revolving Loans to be disbursed on the Honor Date in
an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.2 for the principal amount of Base Rate Revolving Loans, but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Revolving
Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 5.2. Any notice given by such Issuing Lender or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.7(a) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing;
provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice. 
 (b) Each Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.7(a) make funds available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Lender at the Administrative Agent’s
office in an amount equal to its Revolving Percentage of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 2:00 P.M., Dallas, Texas time, on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of
Section 2.7(c), each Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Revolving Loan to the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to such Issuing Lender.

 (c) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a borrowing of Base Rate Revolving
Loans because the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from such Issuing Lender an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is
not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the rate determined in accordance with Section 3.5(c). In such event, each Lender’s payment to the
Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 2.7(b) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of
its participation obligation under this Section 2.7. 
 (d) Until each Lender funds its Revolving
Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to this Section 2.7 to reimburse such Issuing Lender for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Lender’s Revolving Percentage of such amount shall be solely for the
account of such Issuing Lender. 
 (e) Each Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans or L/C Advances to
reimburse such Issuing Lender for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.7, shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim,
recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against such Issuing Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or
condition, whether or 

  
 29 









 
not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans pursuant to this Section 2.7 is subject to the
conditions set forth in Section 5.2. No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse such Issuing Lender for the amount of any payment made by such Issuing Lender under any
Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein. 
 (f) If any Lender fails to make available to the
Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Lender any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.7 by the time specified in Section 2.7(b), such Issuing Lender
shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to
such Issuing Lender at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by such Issuing Lender in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. A certificate of such Issuing Lender
submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.7(f) shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

(g) Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for
the account of, the Borrower or any other Group Member, the Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the Issuing Lender hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of
Credit for the account of the Borrower or any other Group Member inures to the benefit of the Borrower, and that the Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of the Borrower and the other Group Members. 

Section 2.8. Repayment of Participations. 

(a) At any time after such Issuing Lender has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Lender
such Lender’s L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.7, if the Administrative Agent receives for the account of such Issuing Lender any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest
thereon (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will distribute to such Lender its Revolving Percentage thereof (appropriately
adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s L/C Advance was outstanding) in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent. 

(b) If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Lender pursuant to
Section 2.7(a) is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.7 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such Issuing Lender in its discretion), each Lender shall pay to the
Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Lender its Revolving 

  
 30 









 
Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the
Federal Funds Effective Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. 

Section 2.9. Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the Borrower to reimburse such Issuing Lender for each drawing under
each Letter of Credit and to repay each L/C Borrowing shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following: 

(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other Loan Document;

 (b) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that the Borrower or any
Subsidiary may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), such Issuing Lender or any other Person, whether in connection
with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction; 

(c) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such 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; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of
Credit; 
 (d) any payment by such Issuing Lender under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or
certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by such Issuing Lender under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the
benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law; or 

(e) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other
circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower or any Subsidiary. 
 The Borrower shall
promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with the Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, the Borrower will immediately notify
such Issuing Lender. The Borrower shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against such Issuing Lender and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid. 

Section 2.10. Role of each Issuing Lender. Each Lender and the Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of
Credit, such Issuing Lender shall not have any 

  
 31 









 
responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy
of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of such Issuing Lender, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of such
Issuing Lender shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Lenders or the Majority Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the
absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Issuer Document. The Borrower hereby assumes all risks of
the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrower’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it
may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of such Issuing Lender, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of such Issuing Lender
shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (a) through (e) of Section 2.9; provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower may have a claim against
such Issuing Lender, and such Issuing Lender may be liable to the Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrower which the Borrower proves were caused by
such Issuing Lender’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or such Issuing Lender’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying
with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, such Issuing Lender may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation,
regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and such Issuing Lender shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a 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. If any draft shall be presented for payment under any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the
Borrower of the date and amount thereof. 
 Section 2.11. Cash Collateral. Upon the request of an Issuing Lender,
(i) if such Issuing Lender has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C Borrowing, or (ii) if, as of the L/C Expiration Date, any L/C Obligation for any reason remains
outstanding, the Borrower shall, in each case, immediately Cash Collateralize the then outstanding amount of all L/C Obligations. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, within one Business Day following the written request of the
Administrative Agent or any Issuing Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize the Issuing Lenders’ Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender (determined after giving effect to
Section 3.17(a) and any Cash Collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender) in an amount sufficient to cover all Fronting Exposure. 
 (a) Grant of Security Interest. The Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing
Lenders, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such Cash Collateral as security for the Defaulting Lenders’ 

  
 32 









 
obligation to fund participations in respect of L/C Obligations, to be applied pursuant to clause (b) below. If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is
subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lenders as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the Fronting Exposure, the Borrower will, promptly upon demand
by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency (after giving effect to any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender). 

(b) Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided
under this Section or Section 3.17 in respect of Letters of Credit shall be applied to the satisfaction of the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of L/C Obligations (including, as to Cash Collateral provided
by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein. 

(c) Termination of Requirement. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce any Issuing
Lender’s Fronting Exposure shall be released promptly following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender), or (ii) the determination by
the Administrative Agent that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided that, subject to Section 3.17 the Person providing Cash Collateral and the Issuing Lender or Swing Line Lender, as applicable, may agree that Cash Collateral shall be
held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations. 
 Section 2.12. Applicability of ISP and
UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by such Issuing Lender and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued, (i) the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit, and (ii) the rules of the Uniform Customs and
Practice for Documentary Credits, as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce at the time of issuance shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit. 
 Section 2.13. Letter of Credit Fees. 
 (a) The Borrower shall pay to
the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender in accordance with its Revolving Percentage a Letter of Credit fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) (i) for each commercial Letter of Credit equal to the Applicable Margin
then in effect with respect to Eurodollar Loans per annum times the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit, and (ii) for each standby Letter of Credit equal to the Applicable Margin then in effect with respect to
Eurodollar Loans per annum times the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined
in accordance with Section 1.3. Letter of Credit Fees shall be (i) computed on a quarterly basis in arrears and (ii) due and payable on the L/C Fee Payment Date, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance
of such Letter of Credit, on the L/C Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. If there is any change in the Applicable Margin in effect with respect to Eurodollar Loans during 

  
 33 









 
any quarter, the daily amount available to be drawn under each standby Letter of Credit shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Margin in effect with respect to Eurodollar Loans
separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Margin was in effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon the request of the Majority Lenders, while any Event of Default exists, all Letter of Credit
Fees shall accrue at the rate determined in accordance with Section 3.5(c). 
 (b) The Borrower shall pay directly
to such Issuing Lender for its own account a fronting fee equal to the greater of (X) $500 or (Y)(i) with respect to each commercial Letter of Credit, 0.125% per annum, computed on the amount of such Letter of Credit, and payable upon the
issuance thereof, (ii) with respect to any amendment of a commercial Letter of Credit increasing the amount of such Letter of Credit, a rate separately agreed between the Borrower and such Issuing Lender, computed on the amount of such
increase, and payable upon the effectiveness of such amendment, and (iii) with respect to each standby Letter of Credit, 0.125% per annum, computed on the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit on a quarterly basis
in arrears, and due and payable on the L/C Fee Payment Date, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the L/C Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. For purposes of computing the daily amount
available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.3. In addition, the Borrower shall pay directly to such Issuing Lender for its own account the
customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of such Issuing Lender relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect. Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are
due and payable on demand and are nonrefundable. 
 Section 2.14. Increase in Commitments. 

(a) Request for Increase. Provided no Default has occurred and is continuing, upon notice to the Administrative
Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders), the Borrower may from time to time request an increase in the Total Revolving Commitments; provided that (i) any such request for an increase shall be in a minimum amount of $15,000,000,
(ii) the Borrower may make a maximum of three such requests during the Revolving Commitment Period, and (iii) after giving effect to such increase in the Total Revolving Commitments, the Total Revolving Commitments do not exceed
$1,000,000,000. At the time of sending such notice, the Borrower may request all or part of such increase from the Lenders and, if it does so, shall specify (in consultation with the Administrative Agent) the time period within which each Lender who
desires to commit to such increase is requested to respond. 
 (b) Lender Elections to Increase. If
Borrower so requests, each Lender may notify the Administrative Agent within such time period whether or not it agrees to increase its Revolving Commitment (which agreement may be given or withheld at such Lender’s sole and absolute discretion)
and, if so, whether by an amount equal to, greater than, or less than its Revolving Percentage of such requested increase. Any Lender not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to increase its Revolving Commitment.


  
 34 









 (c) Notification by Administrative Agent; Additional Lenders. The
Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and each Lender of the Lenders’ responses to each request made hereunder. To achieve the full amount of a requested increase and subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line
Lender and each Issuing Lender (which approvals shall not be unreasonably withheld), the Borrower may also invite additional Persons who qualify as Eligible Assignees to become Lenders pursuant to a joinder agreement in form and substance
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and its counsel. It shall not be a condition to obtaining an increase in the Total Revolving Commitments that the full amount of such increase requested by the Borrower be approved by the Lenders or any
additional Eligible Assignees. If less than the full amount of the increase requested by the Borrower is approved by the Lenders and any additional Eligible Assignee, the Borrower may, at its option, accept the amount of the increase so approved, or
the Borrower may withdraw its request for all or a portion of such increase, in which case the Borrower shall be deemed not to have made a request for all or a portion of such increase, as applicable. 

(d) Effective Date and Allocations. If the Total Revolving Commitments are increased in accordance with this
Section 2.14, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall determine the effective date (the “Increase Effective Date”) and the final allocation of such increase. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the
Lenders of the final amount and allocation of such increase and the Increase Effective Date. 
 (e) Conditions
to Effectiveness of Increase. As a condition precedent to such increase, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of each Loan Party dated as of the Increase Effective Date (in sufficient copies for each Lender)
signed by a Responsible Officer of such Loan Party (i) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by such Loan Party approving or consenting to such increase, and (ii) in the case of the Borrower, certifying that, before and after
giving effect to such increase, (A) the representations and warranties contained in Article 4 and the other Loan Documents are true and correct on and as of the Increase Effective Date and (B) no Default exists. Administrative Agent shall
notify the new or increasing Lenders of the amount of Loans of each Type and the applicable Interest Period thereof, and each such new or increasing Lender shall make Revolving Loans which are sufficient to make its outstanding Revolving Loans of
each Type and of each Interest Period equal to such Lender’s Revolving Percentage of the Revolving Loans of such Type and such Interest Period. The Borrower shall pay to such new or increasing Lenders on the Increase Effective Date any costs
reasonably determined by such Lender to have been incurred in respect of Eurodollar Loans related to such increase which are funded other than on the first day of the Interest Period relating thereto. 

(f) Conflicting Provisions. This Section shall supersede any provisions in Section 3.8 or Section 10.1 to
the contrary. 

  
 35 









 Section 2.15. Swing Line Loans. 

(a) The Swing Line. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swing Line Lender agrees, in reliance
upon the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in this Section 2.15, to make loans (each such loan, a “Swing Line Loan”) to the Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the Revolving Commitment Period in
an aggregate amount that will not cause, after giving effect to such Swing Line Loan, the outstanding amount of the Swing Line Loans to exceed the Swing Line Sublimit, notwithstanding the fact that such Swing Line Loans, when aggregated with the
Total Revolving Extensions of Credit of the Lender acting as Swing Line Lender, may exceed the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment; provided, however, that after giving effect to any Swing Line Loan, (A) the Total
Revolving Extensions of Credit shall not exceed the Total Revolving Commitments, and (B) the Revolving Extensions of Credit of any Lender other than the Swing Line Lender shall not exceed such Lender’s Revolving Commitment, and
provided, further, that the Borrower shall not use the proceeds of any Swing Line Loan to refinance any outstanding Swing Line Loan. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower may
borrow under this Section 2.15, prepay under Section 2.15(h), and reborrow under this Section 2.15. Immediately upon the making of a Swing Line Loan, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Swing Line Lender a risk participation in such Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Revolving Percentage of the Total Revolving Commitments times the amount of
such Swing Line Loan. 
 (b) Borrowing Procedures. The provisions of Section 2.2 shall not
apply to Borrowings of Swing Line Loans. Each Swing Line Borrowing shall be made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Swing Line Lender and Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by the
Swing Line Lender and Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 P.M., Dallas, Texas time, on the requested borrowing date, and shall specify (i) the amount to be borrowed, which shall be a minimum of $500,000 or whole multiples of $100,000 in
excess thereof, and (ii) the requested borrowing date, which shall be a Business Day. Each such telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Swing Line Lender and Administrative Agent of a written Swing Line loan notice,
appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Promptly after receipt by the Swing Line Lender of any telephonic Swing Line loan notice, the Swing Line Lender will confirm with Administrative Agent (by telephone or in
writing) that Administrative Agent has also received such Swing Line loan notice and, if not, the Swing Line Lender will notify Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof. Unless the Swing Line Lender has received
notice (by telephone or in writing) from Administrative Agent (including at the request of any Lender) prior to 1:00 P.M., Dallas, Texas time, on the date of the proposed Swing Line Borrowing (A) directing the Swing Line Lender not to make such
Swing Line Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in the first proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.15(a), or (B) that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Article 5 is not then satisfied, then,
subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lender will, not later than 1:00 P.M., Dallas, Texas time, on the borrowing date specified in such Swing Line loan notice, make the amount of its Swing Line Loan available to the Borrower.


  
 36 









 (c) Refinancing of Swing Line Loans. 

(i) The Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may request, on behalf of the Borrower (which
hereby irrevocably authorizes the Swing Line Lender to so request on its behalf), that each Lender make a Revolving Loan at the Base Rate in an amount equal to such Lender’s Revolving Percentage of the amount of Swing Line Loans then
outstanding. Such request shall be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a loan notice for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.2, without regard to the minimum and multiples
specified therein for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the unutilized portion of the Total Revolving Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 5.2. The Swing Line Lender shall furnish the Borrower with a
copy of the applicable loan notice promptly after delivering such notice to Administrative Agent. Each Lender shall make an amount equal to its Revolving Percentage of the amount specified in such loan notice available to Administrative Agent in
immediately available funds for the account of the Swing Line Lender at Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 2:00 P.M., Dallas, Texas time, on the day specified in such loan notice, whereupon, subject to Section 2.15(c)(ii),
each Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Revolving Loan at the Base Rate to the Borrower in such amount. Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Swing Line Lender. 

(ii) If for any reason any Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by such a Revolving Loan in accordance with
Section 2.15(c)(i), the request for Revolving Loans at the Base Rate submitted by the Swing Line Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by the Swing Line Lender that each of the Lenders fund its risk participation in
the relevant Swing Line Loan and each Lender’s payment to Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 2.15(c)(i) shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation. 

(iii) If any Lender fails to make available to Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender any amount
required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.15(c) by the time specified in Section 2.15(c)(i), the Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through
Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Swing Line Lender at a rate per annum equal to the greater of
the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Swing Line Lender in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Swing Line Lender in
connection with the foregoing. If such Lender pays such amount (with interest 

  
 37 









 
and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving Loan included in the relevant Swing Line Loan or funded participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan, as
the case may be. A certificate of the Swing Line Lender submitted to any Lender (through Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

(iv) Each Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans or to purchase and fund risk participations in Swing Line
Loans pursuant to this Section 2.15(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against
the Swing Line Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing;
provided, however, that each Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans pursuant to this Section 2.15(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 5.2. No such funding of risk participations shall
relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to repay Swing Line Loans, together with interest as provided herein. 
 (d) Repayment of Participations. At any time after any Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in a Swing Line Loan, if the Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account of such
Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Lender will distribute to such Lender its Revolving Percentage thereof in the same funds as those received by the Swing Line Lender. 

(e) Interest for Account of Swing Line Lender. The Swing Line Lender shall be responsible for invoicing the
Borrower for interest on the Swing Line Loans. Until each Lender funds its Revolving Loan or risk participation pursuant to this Section 2.15 to refinance such Lender’s Revolving Percentage of any Swing Line Loan, interest in
respect of such Lender’s Revolving Percentage share shall be solely for the account of the Swing Line Lender. 
 (f) Payments Directly to Swing Line Lender. The Borrower shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect of the Swing Line Loans directly to the Swing Line Lender. 

(g) Swing Line Loan Interest. Each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof
on each day at a per annum rate equal to the rate for overnight (next business day) Dollar deposits in the interbank eurodollar market as determined by Swing Line Lender plus the Applicable Margin with respect to Eurodollar Loans; provided,
however, that if the Swing Line Lender determines that it is not able to determine such rate for any day or to maintain Swing Line Loans at such rate for any day, each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount
thereof on such day at a per annum rate equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin with respect to Base Rate Loans. 

  
 38 









 (h) Voluntary Pre-Payments. The Borrower may, upon notice to the
Swing Line Lender (with a copy to Administrative Agent), at any time or from time to time, voluntarily prepay Swing Line Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (i) such notice must be received by the Swing
Line Lender and Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 P.M., Dallas, Texas time, on the date of the prepayment, and (ii) any such prepayment shall be in a minimum principal amount of $100,000. Each such notice shall specify the date and
amount of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. 

(i) Repayment of Swing Line Loans. The Borrower shall repay each Swing Line Loan on the earliest to occur of
(i) the date fifteen days after such Loan is made (or the next succeeding Business Day), (ii) the last Business Day of each calendar month and (iii) the Revolving Termination Date. 

(j) Evidence of Swing Line Loan Debt. In addition to the accounts and records referred to in
Section 3.14, each Lender and Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records evidencing the purchases and sales by such Lender of Swing Line Loans. In the event of any conflict between the
accounts and records maintained by Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. 

ARTICLE 3. GENERAL PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO REVOLVING LOANS 
 AND LETTERS OF CREDIT 
 Section 3.1. Optional Prepayments. The
Borrower may at any time and from time to time prepay the Revolving Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, upon irrevocable notice delivered to the Administrative Agent by 11:00 A.M. Dallas, Texas time on the third Business Day
prior thereto in the case of Eurodollar Loans and by 11:00 A.M. Dallas, Texas time on the date of the prepayment in the case of Base Rate Loans, which notice shall specify the date and amount of prepayment and whether the prepayment is of Eurodollar
Loans or Base Rate Loans; provided that if a Eurodollar Loan is prepaid on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall also pay any amounts owing pursuant to Section 3.11. Upon receipt of
any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof. If any such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, together with (except in the case of
Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans) accrued interest to such date on the amount prepaid. Partial prepayments of Revolving Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of (i) in the case of Eurodollar Loans, $3,000,000 or whole
multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof or (ii) in the case of Base Rate Loans $500,000, or whole multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof. 
 Section 3.2. Mandatory Prepayments. One hundred eighty (180) days after a Group Member’s receipt of proceeds of an asset Disposition pursuant to Section 7.5(c) (with respect to
such Asset Disposition, such 180th day being herein called the “prepayment determination

immediately prepay the Revolving Loans in an amount equal to): 
 (a) If such prepayment determination date
occurs prior to the date the Parent has an Investment Grade Rating, the excess of (i) Net Book Value of such asset plus the Net Book Value of all other assets Disposed of pursuant to Section 7.5(c) after the date of this Agreement that has
not been so applied to reduce the Total Revolving Commitments (and to prepay the Revolving Loans), less, for each such asset Disposition, the amount of the proceeds of such Disposition (up to such Net Book Value) that has been applied to the
purchase or development of capital assets used in any line of business permitted by Section 7.15 within 180 days after the date of receipt of the proceeds of such Disposition, over (ii) 5% of the sum of (A) the Net Book Value of total

(i) the excess of (A) the Net Book Value of such asset plus the Net Book Value of all other assets Disposed of
pursuant to Section 7.5(c) during the period of 365 days ending on the date of such asset Disposition that has not been so applied to reduce the Total Revolving Commitments (and to prepay the Revolving Loans), less, for each such asset
Disposition, the amount of the proceeds of such Disposition (up to such Net Book Value) that has been applied to the purchase or development of capital assets used in any line of business permitted by Section 7.15 within 180 days after the date
of receipt of the proceeds of such Disposition over (B) 10% of the Net Book Value of total consolidated assets of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries immediately prior to such Disposition plus the Net Book Value of any assets that have been

purchase or development of capital assets. 

  
 40 









 (c) All prepayments made pursuant to this Section 3.2 will be applied
first to Base Rate Loans and second to Eurodollar Loans. 
 Section 3.3. Conversion and Continuation Options.

 (a) The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert Eurodollar Loans to Base Rate Loans by giving the
Administrative Agent prior irrevocable notice of such election by 11:00 A.M., Dallas, Texas time, three Business Days preceding the day on which such conversion is to occur; provided that any such conversion of Eurodollar Loans may only be
made on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Loans by giving prior irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent by 11:00 A.M., Dallas, Texas
time, three Business Days prior to such conversion (which notice shall specify the length of the initial Interest Period therefor); provided that no Base Rate Loan may be converted into a Eurodollar Loan when any Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing and the Administrative Agent or the Majority Lenders have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such conversions. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender
thereof. 
 (b) Any Eurodollar Loan may be continued as such upon the expiration of the then current Interest
Period with respect thereto by the Borrower giving irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the term “Interest Period” set forth in Section 1.1, of the length of the next
Interest Period to be applicable to such Eurodollar Loans; provided that no Eurodollar Loan may be continued as such when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has or the Majority Lenders have
determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such continuations; and provided, further, that if the Borrower shall fail to give any required notice as described above in this paragraph or if such continuation is not
permitted pursuant to the preceding proviso such Eurodollar Loans shall be automatically converted to Base Rate Loans on the last day of such then expiring Interest Period. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly
notify each Lender thereof. 
 Section 3.4. Limitations on Eurodollar Tranches. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Agreement, all borrowings, conversions and continuations of Eurodollar Loans hereunder and all selections of Interest Periods hereunder shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that, (a) after giving
effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of the Eurodollar Loans comprising each Eurodollar Tranche shall be equal to $3,000,000 or whole multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (b) no more than eight Eurodollar Tranches shall be
outstanding at any one time. 

  
 41 









 Section 3.5. Interest Rates and Payment Dates. 

(a) Each Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest for each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto at a rate per
annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate determined for such day plus the Applicable Margin. 
 (b) Each Base Rate Loan
shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin. 
 (c) (i) If all
or a portion of the principal amount of any Revolving Loan or L/C Obligation shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (x) in
the case of the Revolving Loans, the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section plus 2% or (y) in the case of L/C Obligations, the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans plus
2%, and (ii) if all or a portion of any interest payable on any Revolving Loan or L/C Obligation or any commitment fee or other amount payable hereunder shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise),
such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans plus 2%, in each case, with respect to clauses (i) and (ii) above, from the date of such non-payment until such amount
is paid in full (as well after as before judgment). 
 (d) Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest
Payment Date; provided that interest accruing pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable from time to time on demand. 
 Section 3.6. Computation of Interest and Fees. 
 (a)
Interest and fees payable pursuant hereto shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed, except that, with respect to Base Rate Loans the rate of interest on which is calculated on the basis of the Reference Rate,
the interest thereon shall be calculated on the basis of a 365- (or 366-, as the case may be) day year for the actual days elapsed. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the Lenders of each determination of a
Eurodollar Rate. Any change in the interest rate on a Revolving Loan resulting from a change in the Base Rate or the Eurocurrency Reserve Requirements shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change becomes
effective. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change in interest rate. 

(b) Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall
be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Borrower, deliver to the Borrower a statement showing the quotations used by the Administrative Agent
in determining any interest rate pursuant to Section 3.6(a). 
 Section 3.7. Inability to Determine Interest
Rate. If prior to the first day of any Interest Period: 
 (a) the Administrative Agent shall have determined
(which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period; or


  
 42 









 (b) the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Majority
Lenders that the Eurodollar Rate determined or to be determined for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (as conclusively certified by such Lenders) of making or maintaining their affected Revolving
Loans during such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall give telefacsimile, email or telephonic notice thereof to each of the Borrower and the Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. If such notice is given (x) any Eurodollar Loans
requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as Base Rate Loans, (y) any Revolving Loans that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to Eurodollar Loans shall be continued as Base
Rate Loans and (z) any outstanding Eurodollar Loans shall be converted, on the last day of the then-current Interest Period, to Base Rate Loans. Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no further Eurodollar Loans shall
be made or continued as such, nor shall the Borrower have the right to convert Revolving Loans to Eurodollar Loans. 

Section 3.8. Pro Rata Treatment and Payments. 

(a) Each borrowing by the Borrower from the Lenders hereunder, each payment by the Borrower on account of any commitment
fee and any reduction of the Revolving Commitments of the Lenders shall be made pro rata according to the Revolving Percentages of the Lenders. 
 (b) Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Revolving Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding
principal amounts of the Revolving Loans then held by the Lenders. 
 (c) Notwithstanding part (b) of this
Section 3.8, all payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrower hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 1:00 P.M., Dallas,
Texas time, on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, at the Funding Office, in Dollars and in immediately available funds. The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to the Lenders promptly
upon receipt in like funds as received. If any payment hereunder (other than payments on the Eurodollar Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. If any
payment on a Eurodollar Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another
calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. In the case of any extension of any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding two sentences, interest thereon shall be payable at the then
applicable rate during such extension. 

  
 43 









 (d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by
any Lender prior to a borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its share of such borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender is making such amount available
to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by the required time on the
Borrowing Date therefor, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, such amount with interest thereon at a rate equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately
available to the Administrative Agent. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If such Lender’s share of such
borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three Business Days of such Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum
applicable to Base Rate Loans, on demand, from the Borrower. 
 (e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have
been notified in writing by the Borrower prior to the date of any payment due to be made by the Borrower hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower is
making such payment, and the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Lenders their respective pro rata shares of a corresponding amount. If such payment is not
made to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower within three Business Days after such due date, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover, on demand, from each Lender to which any amount which was made available pursuant to the
preceding sentence, such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against the Borrower.

 (f) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 3.8 or in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary,
in the event that the Revolving Loans shall have become due and payable, and the Revolving Commitments shall have been terminated, pursuant to Section 8, any amounts received by the Administrative Agent from the Loan Parties or their
Subsidiaries or from the Collateral in respect of the Borrower’s Obligations shall be applied in the following order of priority: 
 (i) First, to reimburse the Administrative Agent for its fees, costs and expenses pursuant to the Loan Documents; 
 (ii) Second, to pay unpaid interest accrued on the Revolving Loans; 

  
 44 









 (iii) Third, (A) to pay all other outstanding Obligations (other than
contingent indemnity obligations) under, out of, or in connection with any of the Loan Documents or Letters of Credit, including the outstanding principal of the Revolving Loans and, after the payment of the outstanding principal of the Revolving
Loans, to Cash Collateralize outstanding L/C Obligations and (B) to pay Pari Passu Hedging Obligations (applied ratably to each Lender based upon (x) such Lender’s total outstanding Obligations under clause (A), and (y) such
Lender’s or such Lender’s Affiliate’s Pari Passu Hedging Obligations under clause (B)); 
 (iv)
Fourth, once all of the Obligations and Pari Passu Hedging Obligations (in each case, other than contingent indemnity obligations) have been indefeasibly paid in full and all Letters of Credit have been terminated or Cash Collateralized, to the
Borrower. 
 Administrative Agent shall have no responsibility to determine the existence or amount of Pari Passu Hedging Obligations and may
reserve from the application of amounts under this Section 3.8(f) amounts distributable in respect of Pari Passu Hedging Obligations until it has received evidence satisfactory to it of the existence and amount of such Pari Passu Hedging
Obligations. 
 Section 3.9. Requirements of Law. 

(a) If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof or
compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof: 

(i) shall subject any Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any
Application or any Eurodollar Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof (except for Non-Excluded Taxes covered by Section 3.10 and changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income
of such Lender); 
 (ii) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or
similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender that is not otherwise included in
the determination of the Eurodollar Rate hereunder; or 
 (iii) shall impose on such Lender any other condition;

 and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender, by an amount that such Lender deems to be material, of making,
converting into, continuing or maintaining Revolving Loans or issuing or participating in Letters of Credit, or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, the Borrower shall promptly pay such Lender, upon
its demand and delivery of the notice referred to in the immediately succeeding sentence, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable which such Lender reasonably deems to be
material. If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this paragraph, it shall promptly notify the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled.


  
 45 









 (b) If any Lender shall have determined that the adoption of or any change
in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not
having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder
or under or in respect of any Letter of Credit to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such corporation’s
policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, after submission by such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of a written request therefor, the
Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such corporation for such reduction. 
 (c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Borrower shall not be required to pay to any Lender amounts owing under this Section 3.9 for any period that is more than nine months prior to
the date on which the request for payment therefor is delivered to the Borrower; provided that, if the event or occurrence giving rise to such obligation is retroactive, then the nine month period referred to above shall be extended to include the
period of retroactive effect thereof. 
 (d) Each Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts to minimize any amount
that may otherwise be payable pursuant to this Section 3.9 if it can do without incurring additional cost or expense, or legal or regulatory disadvantage, reasonably deemed by such Lender to be material. 

(e) A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted by any Lender to the Borrower
(with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The obligations of the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Revolving Loans and all
other amounts payable hereunder. 
 (f) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (x) the Dodd-Frank
Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith 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 to be a “change in any
Requirement of Law”, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued. 

  
 46 









 Section 3.10. Taxes. 

(a) All payments made by the Borrower under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or
withholding for or on account of, any present or future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental
Authority, excluding net income taxes and franchise taxes (imposed in lieu of net income taxes) imposed on the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of a present or former connection between the Administrative Agent or such Lender and the
jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (other than any such connection arising solely from the Administrative Agent or such Lender having executed, delivered
or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, this Agreement or any other Loan Document). If any such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings (“Non-Excluded
Taxes”) or Other Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder, the amounts so payable to the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to
yield to the Administrative Agent or such Lender (after payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement, provided, however, that the
Borrower shall not be required to increase any such amounts payable to any Lender with respect to any Non-Excluded Taxes (i) that are attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the requirements of paragraph (d) or
(e) of this Section or (ii) that are United States withholding taxes imposed on amounts payable to such Lender at the time such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, except to the extent that such Lender’s assignor (if any) was
entitled, at the time of assignment, to receive additional amounts from the Borrower with respect to such Non-Excluded Taxes pursuant to this paragraph. 
 (b) In addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 

(c) Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes are payable by the Borrower, as promptly as possible thereafter the
Borrower shall send to the Administrative Agent for their own account or for the account of the Administrative Agent or Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt received by the Borrower showing payment thereof. If
the Borrower fails to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Administrative Agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Borrower shall indemnify the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of any such failure. 

(d) Each Lender (or Transferee) that is not a “U.S. Person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code
(a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased) two copies of either U.S. Internal


  
 47 









 
Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-89ECI, or, in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect
to payments of “portfolio interest”, a statement substantially in the form of Exhibit F and a Form W-8BEN, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto, properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Lender claiming
complete exemption from, or a reduced rate of, U.S. federal withholding tax on all payments by the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Such forms shall be delivered by each Non-U.S. Lender on or before the date it becomes a
party to this Agreement (or, in the case of any Participant, on or before the date such Participant purchases the related participation). In addition, each Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any
form previously delivered by such Non-U.S. Lender. Each Non-U.S. Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certificate to the Borrower (or any other
form of certification adopted by the U.S. taxing authorities for such purpose). Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph, a Non-U.S. Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this paragraph that such Non-U.S. Lender
is not legally able to deliver. 
 (e) A Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of non-U.S.
withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative
Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law (such as Form W-8BEN) as will permit such payments to be made without
withholding or at a reduced rate, provided that such Lender is legally entitled to complete, execute and deliver such documentation and in such Lender’s judgment such completion, execution or submission would not materially prejudice the
legal position of such Lender. 
 (f) The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of this
Agreement and the payment of the Revolving Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. 
 Section 3.11.
Indemnity. The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender and the Administrative Agent and to hold each Lender and the Administrative Agent harmless from any loss or expense that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of
(a) default by the Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of Eurodollar Loans after the Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by the
Borrower in making any prepayment of or conversion from Eurodollar Loans after the Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or (c) the making of a prepayment of Eurodollar Loans on a day that is
not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. Such indemnification may include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed, converted
or continued, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of such Interest 

  
 48 









 
Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period that would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate of interest for
such Eurodollar Loans provided for herein (excluding, however, the Applicable Margin included therein, if any) over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) that would have accrued to such Lender on such
amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the interbank eurodollar market. A certificate as to any amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted to the Borrower by any Lender shall be conclusive in
the absence of manifest error. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Revolving Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. 
 Section 3.12. Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 3.9 or 3.10(a) with respect to such
Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Revolving Loans affected by such event with the object of avoiding the
consequences of such event; provided, that such designation is made on terms that, in the sole judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its lending office(s) to suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, and provided,
further, that nothing in this Section shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the rights of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.9 or 3.10(a). 

Section 3.13. Replacement of Lenders. The Borrower shall be permitted to replace any Lender that (a) requests
reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 3.9 or 3.10(a) or (b) is a Defaulting Lender or otherwise defaults in its obligation to make Revolving Loans hereunder, with a replacement financial institution;
provided that (i) such replacement does not conflict with any Requirement of Law, (ii) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, (iii) prior to any such replacement, such Lender
shall have taken no action under Section 3.12 so as to eliminate the continued need for payment of amounts owing pursuant to Section 3.9 or 3.10(a), (iv) the replacement financial institution shall purchase, at
par, all Revolving Loans and other amounts owing to such replaced Lender on or prior to the date of replacement, (v) the Borrower shall be liable to such replaced Lender under Section 3.11 if any Eurodollar Loan owing to such
replaced Lender shall be purchased other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, (vi) the replacement financial institution, if not already a Lender, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent,
(vii) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.6 (provided that the Borrower shall be obligated to pay the registration and processing fee referred to therein),
(viii) until such time as such replacement shall be consummated, the Borrower shall pay all additional amounts (if any) required pursuant to Section 3.9 or 3.10(a), as the case may be, and (ix) any such replacement shall
not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender. 
 Section 3.14. Evidence of Debt. 
 (a) Each Lender shall
maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Revolving Loan of such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable
and paid to such Lender from time to time under this Agreement. 

  
 49 









 (b) The Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Borrower, shall maintain the
Register pursuant to Section 10.6(c), and a subaccount therein for each Lender, in which shall be recorded (i) the amount of each Revolving Loan made hereunder and any Note evidencing such Revolving Loan, the Type of such Revolving
Loan and each Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) both the amount of any sum received by the
Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower and each Lender’s share thereof. 
 (c) The entries made in
the Register and the accounts of each Lender maintained pursuant to Section 3.14(a) shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the Borrower
therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain the Register or any such account, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay
(with applicable interest) the Revolving Loans made to the Borrower by such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 
 (d) The Borrower agrees that, upon the request to the Administrative Agent by any Lender, the Borrower will execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note of the Borrower evidencing any Revolving
Loan of such Lender, substantially in the form of Exhibit G, with appropriate insertions as to date and principal amount. 
 Section 3.15. Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof shall make it
unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans as contemplated by this Agreement, (a) the commitment of such Lender hereunder to make Eurodollar Loans, continue Eurodollar Loans as such and convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar
Loans shall forthwith be canceled and (b) such Lender’s Revolving Loans then outstanding as Eurodollar Loans, if any, shall be converted automatically to Base Rate Loans on the respective last days of the then current Interest Periods with
respect to such Revolving Loans or within such earlier period as required by law. If any such conversion of a Eurodollar Loan occurs on a day which is not the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, the Borrower shall pay
to such Lender such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section 3.11. 
 Section 3.16. Sharing
of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of the Revolving Loans made by it, or the participations in L/C
Obligations held by it resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such Revolving Loans or participations and accrued interest thereon greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided
herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Revolving Loans and subparticipations in L/C Obligations of
the other

Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal
of and accrued interest on their respective Revolving Loans and other amounts owing them, provided that: 

(a) if any such participations or subparticipations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise
thereto is recovered, such participations or subparticipations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and 

(b) the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant
to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Revolving Loans or subparticipations in L/C Obligations to any
assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply). 
 Each
Loan Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Loan Party rights of setoff and
counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Loan Party in the amount of such participation; provided that such Lender acquiring a participation shall give the applicable Loan Party
prompt notice of such setoff or counterclaim. 
 Section 3.17. Defaulting Lenders 

(a) Defaulting Lender Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any
Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law: 
 (i) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the
definition of Majority Lenders. 
 (ii) Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest,
fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article 8 or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender
pursuant to Section 10.7 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to
the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any Issuing Lender or Swing Line Lender hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize the Issuing Lenders’ Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in
accordance with Section 2.11; fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding 

  
 51 









 
of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by
the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and
(y) Cash Collateralize the Issuing Lenders’ future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 2.11; sixth, to the payment
of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders or Swing Line Lenders as a result of any final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the Issuing Lenders or Swing Line Lenders against such
Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any final
and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting
Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or L/C Disbursements in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its
appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C
Disbursements owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C Disbursements owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in
L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments under the applicable Facility without giving effect to Section 3.17 (a). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a
Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents
hereto. 
 (iii) Certain Fees. 

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

(B) A Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive fees under Section 2.13 for any period during which that Lender
is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Aggregate Exposure Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit if such Defaulting Lender has provided Cash Collateral covering the entire amount of the Fronting Exposure so that
Borrower is not required to provide any Cash Collateral for such Fronting Exposure pursuant to Section 2.11. 

  
 52 









 (C) With respect to any fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender
pursuant to clause (A) or (B) above, the Borrower shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in L/C
Obligations or Swing Line Loans that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv) below, (y) pay to each Issuing Lender and Swing Line Lender, as applicable, the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to
such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such Issuing Lender’s or Swing Line Lender’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender for which Cash Collateral has not been provided, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining
amount of any such fee. 
 (iv) Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any
part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Aggregate Exposure Percentages (calculated without regard to such
Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) but only to the extent that (x) the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless the Borrower shall have otherwise notified the Administrative Agent at
such time, the Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time), and (y) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed
such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment, and such reallocation will reduce the Fronting Exposure. No reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising
from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation. 

(v) Cash Collateral, Repayment of Swing Line Loans. If the reallocation described in clause (iv) above cannot,
or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, (x) first, prepay Swing Line Loans in an amount equal to the Swing Line Lenders’ Fronting Exposure and
(y) second, Cash Collateralize the Issuing Lenders’ Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.11. 
 (b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Swing Line Lender and Issuing Lender agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the
Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender
will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in
Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with the Commitments under the applicable Facility (without giving effect to Section 3.17(a), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender;
provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made 

  
 53 









 
by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder
from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. 

(c) New Swing Line Loans/Letters of Credit. So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, except to the extent the
Defaulting Lender’s participations have been reallocated pursuant to Section 3.17(a)(iv), (i) the Swing Line Lender shall not be required to fund any Swing Line Loans unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after
giving effect to such Swing Line Loan and (ii) no Issuing Lender shall be required to issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto. 

ARTICLE 4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES 
 To induce the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to make the Revolving Loans and issue or participate in the Letters of Credit, Parent and the Borrower hereby represent
and warrant to the Administrative Agent and each Lender that: 
 Section 4.1. Financial Condition. 

(a) The audited consolidated balance sheet of Parent and its consolidated Subsidiaries dated as of December 31, 2010
and the related consolidated statements of operations and of cash flows for the fiscal year ended on such date, reported on by and accompanied by an unqualified report from PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, fairly present the consolidated financial
condition of Parent and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at such date, and their consolidated results of operations and consolidated cash flows for the fiscal year then ended. Such financial statements, including the related schedules and notes
thereto, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied consistently throughout the period involved (except as approved by the aforementioned firm of accountants and disclosed therein). 

(b) The unaudited consolidated balance sheet of Parent and its consolidated Subsidiaries dated as of March 31, 2011,
and the related consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the fiscal quarter ended on that date fairly present in all material respects the financial condition of Parent and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of the date thereof and
their consolidated results of operations and consolidated cash flows for the period covered thereby, subject to the absence of footnotes and to normal year-end audit adjustments. Such financial statements, including the related schedules and notes
thereto, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied consistently throughout the period involved as set forth therein. 
 (c) Except as set forth on Schedule 4.1, no Group Member has any material Guarantee Obligations, contingent liabilities or liabilities for taxes, or any


  
 54 









 
long-term leases or unusual forward or long-term commitments, including any interest rate or foreign currency swap or exchange transaction or other obligation in respect of derivatives, that are
not reflected in the most recent financial statements referred to in this Section. During the period from December 31, 2010, to and including the date hereof there has been no Disposition by any Group Member of any material part of its business
or property from that reflected in the balance sheet of Parent dated as of December 31, 2010. 
 Section 4.2. No
Change. Since December 31, 2010 there has been no development or event that has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 Section 4.3. Existence; Compliance with Law. Each Group Member (a) is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization,
(b) has the power and authority, and the legal right, to own and operate its property, to lease the property it operates as lessee and to conduct the business in which it is currently engaged, (c) is duly qualified as a foreign
corporation, partnership or limited liability company and in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where its ownership, lease or operation of property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification except to the extent that
the failure to so qualify thereunder could not, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and (d) is in compliance with all Requirements of Law except to the extent that the failure to comply therewith could
not, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 Section 4.4. Power; Authorization;
Enforceable Obligations. Each Loan Party has the power and authority, and the legal right, to make, deliver and perform the Loan Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of the Borrower, to obtain extensions of credit hereunder. Each
Loan Party has taken all necessary organizational action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of the Borrower, to authorize the extensions of credit on the terms and
conditions of this Agreement. No consent or authorization of, filing with, notice to or other act by or in respect of, any Governmental Authority or any other Person is required in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and the
extensions of credit hereunder or with the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, except (i) consents, authorizations, filings and notices described in Schedule 4.4,
which consents, authorizations, filings and notices have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect and (ii) the filings referred to in Section 4.19. Each Loan Document has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of
each Loan Party thereto. This Agreement constitutes, and each other Loan Document upon execution will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Loan Party thereto, enforceable against each such Loan Party in accordance with its
terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is
sought by proceedings in equity or at law). 
 Section 4.5. No Legal Bar. The execution, delivery and performance of
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the issuance of Letters of Credit, the borrowings hereunder and the use of the proceeds thereof will not violate any Requirement of Law or any Contractual Obligation of any Group Member and will not
result in, or require, the creation or 

  
 55 









 
imposition of any Lien on any of their respective properties or revenues pursuant to any Requirement of Law or any such Contractual Obligation (other than the Liens created by the Security
Documents). No Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation applicable to any Group Member could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 Section 4.6. Litigation. No litigation, investigation or proceeding of or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority is pending or, to the knowledge of Parent and Borrower, threatened by
or against any Group Member or against any of their respective properties or revenues (a) with respect to any of the Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or (b) that, except as set forth on Schedule
4.6, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 Section 4.7. No Default. No Group Member
is in default under or with respect to any of its Contractual Obligations in any respect that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. 

Section 4.8. Ownership of Property; Liens. Each Group Member has good and defensible title to all of its material properties
and assets, free and clear of all Liens other than Liens permitted under Section 7.3 and of all impediments to the use of such properties and assets in such Group Member’s business other than those impediments that could not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 Section 4.9. Intellectual Property. Each Group Member
owns, or is licensed to use, all Intellectual Property necessary for the conduct of its business as currently conducted. No material claim has been asserted and is pending by any Person challenging or questioning the use of any Intellectual Property
or the validity or effectiveness of any Intellectual Property, nor does the Borrower know of any valid basis for any such claim. The use of Intellectual Property by each Group Member does not infringe on the rights of any Person in any material
respect. 
 Section 4.10. Taxes. Each Group Member has filed or caused to be filed all Federal, state and other
material tax returns that are required to be filed and has paid all taxes shown to be due and payable on said returns or on any assessments made against it or any of its property and all other taxes, fees or other charges imposed on it or any of its
property by any Governmental Authority (other than the amount or validity of which are currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which reserves in conformity with GAAP have been provided on the books of
the applicable Group Member); no tax Lien has been filed, and, to the knowledge of Parent and the Borrower, no claim is being asserted, with respect to any such tax, fee or other charge other than Liens permitted pursuant to Section 7.3(a).

 Section 4.11. Federal Regulations. No part of the proceeds of any Revolving Loans, and no other extensions of
credit hereunder, will be used for “buying” or “carrying” any “margin stock” within the respective meanings of each of the quoted terms under Regulation U as now and from time to time hereafter in effect or for any
purpose that violates the provisions of the Regulations of the Board. 
 Section 4.12. Labor Matters. Except as, in
the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect: (a) there are no strikes or other labor disputes 

  
 56 









 
against any Group Member pending or, to the knowledge of Parent and the Borrower, threatened; (b) hours worked by and payment made to employees of each Group Member have not been in
violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act or any other applicable Requirement of Law dealing with such matters; and (c) all payments due from any Group Member on account of employee health and welfare insurance have been paid or accrued as a
liability on the books of the relevant Group Member. 
 Section 4.13. ERISA. Neither a Reportable Event nor an
“accumulated funding deficiency” (within the meaning of Section 412 of the Code or Section 302 of ERISA) has occurred during the five-year period prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made with respect
to any Plan, and each Plan has complied in all material respects with the applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code. No termination of a Single Employer Plan has occurred, and no Lien in favor of the PBGC or a Plan has arisen, during such
five-year period. The present value of all accrued benefits under each Single Employer Plan (based on those assumptions used to fund such Plans) did not, as of the last annual valuation date prior to the date on which this representation is made or
deemed made, exceed the value of the assets of such Plan allocable to such accrued benefits by a material amount. Neither the Borrower nor any Commonly Controlled Entity has had a complete or partial withdrawal from any Multiemployer Plan that has
resulted or could reasonably be expected to result in a material liability under ERISA, and neither the Borrower nor any Commonly Controlled Entity would become subject to any material liability under ERISA if the Borrower or any such Commonly
Controlled Entity were to withdraw completely from all Multiemployer Plans as of the valuation date most closely preceding the date on which this representation is made or deemed made. No such Multiemployer Plan is in Reorganization or Insolvent.

 Section 4.14. Investment Company Act; Other Regulations. No Loan Party is an “investment company”, or a
company “controlled” by an “investment company”, within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. No Loan Party is subject to regulation under any Requirement of Law (other than Regulation X of the Board)
that limits its ability to incur Indebtedness. 
 Section 4.15. Subsidiaries. Except as disclosed to the
Administrative Agent by the Borrower in writing from time to time after the Closing Date, (a) Schedule 4.15(a) sets forth the name and jurisdiction of incorporation, organization or formation of each Subsidiary and, as to each such
Subsidiary, the percentage of each class of Capital Stock owned by any Loan Party and (b) except as set forth in the Transaction Documents or on Schedule 4.15(b), there are no outstanding subscriptions, options, warrants, calls, rights
or other agreements or commitments (other than stock options granted to employees or directors and directors’ qualifying shares) of any nature relating to any Capital Stock of the Borrower or any Subsidiary. Parent has no Subsidiaries other
than the Borrower and its Subsidiaries. General Partner is the sole general partner of Parent. 
 Section 4.16. Use of
Proceeds. The proceeds of the Revolving Loans shall be used for (a) working capital including the issuance of Letters of Credit, (b) funding acquisitions otherwise permitted by this Agreement, (c) capital expenditures, and
(d) general business purposes of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries not in contravention of any Law or of any Loan Document. The Letters of Credit shall be used for the general business purposes of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries. 

  
 57 









 Section 4.17. Environmental Matters. 

(a) The facilities and properties owned, leased or operated by any Group Member (the “Properties”) do not
contain, and have not previously contained, any Materials of Environmental Concern in amounts or concentrations or under circumstances that constitute or constituted a violation of, or have given rise to material liability under, any Environmental
Law. 
 (b) No Group Member has received or is aware of any material notice of violation, alleged violation,
non-compliance, liability or potential liability regarding environmental matters or compliance with Environmental Laws with regard to any of the Properties or the business operated by any Group Member (the “Business”), nor do Parent
or the Borrower have knowledge or reason to believe that any such notice will be received or is being threatened. 
 (c) Materials of Environmental Concern have not been transported or disposed of from the Properties in violation of, or in a manner or to a location that could give rise to liability under, any
Environmental Law, nor have any Materials of Environmental Concern been generated, treated, stored or disposed of at, on or under any of the Properties in violation of, or in a manner that could give rise to liability under, any applicable
Environmental Law. 
 (d) Except as set forth on Schedule 4.17(d), no material judicial proceeding or
governmental or administrative action is pending or, to the knowledge of Parent and the Borrower, threatened, under any Environmental Law to which any Group Member is or will be named as a party with respect to the Properties or the Business, nor
are there any material consent decrees or other decrees, consent orders, administrative orders or other orders, or other material administrative or judicial requirements outstanding under any Environmental Law with respect to the Properties or the
Business. 
 (e) There has been no release or threat of release of Materials of Environmental Concern at or from
the Properties, or arising from or related to the operations of any Group Member in connection with the Properties or otherwise in connection with the Business, in violation of or in amounts or in a manner that could give rise to material liability
under Environmental Laws. 
 (f) Except as set forth on Schedule 4.17(f), the Properties and all
operations at the Properties are in compliance, and, to the knowledge of Parent and the Borrower, have in the last five years been in compliance, in all material respects with all applicable Environmental Laws, and there is no material contamination
at, under or about the Properties or violation of any Environmental Law with respect to the Properties or the Business. 

  
 58 









 (g) No Group Member has assumed any liability of any other Person under
Environmental Laws, other than as a result of a merger or consolidation of such Person into a Group Member or in connection with an asset acquisition, and then only with respect to the acquired assets, in each case where the transaction did not
result in the assumption of any known material liabilities. 
 Section 4.18. Accuracy of Information, etc. No
statement or information contained in this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other document, certificate or statement furnished by or on behalf of any Loan Party to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, or any of them, for use in
connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, contained as of the date such statement, information, document or certificate was so furnished, any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state
a material fact necessary to make the statements contained herein or therein not misleading. The projections and pro forma financial information contained in the materials referenced above are based upon good faith estimates and
assumptions believed by management of Parent and the Borrower to be reasonable at the time made, it being recognized by the Lenders that such financial information as it relates to future events is not to be viewed as fact and that actual results
during the period or periods covered by such financial information may differ from the projected results set forth therein by a material amount. There is no fact known to any Loan Party that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect that has not been expressly disclosed herein, in the other Loan Documents or in any other documents, certificates and statements furnished to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for use in connection with the transactions contemplated
hereby and by the other Loan Documents. 
 Section 4.19. Security Documents. Each of the Mortgages is effective to
create in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a legal, valid and enforceable Lien on the Mortgaged Properties described therein and proceeds thereof, and when the Mortgages are filed in the offices specified on
Schedule 4.19, each such Mortgage shall constitute a fully perfected Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest of the Loan Parties in the Mortgaged Properties and the proceeds thereof, as security for the
Obligations (as defined in the relevant Mortgage), in each case prior and superior in right to any other Person (other than those statutory Liens of other Persons that are (i) permitted pursuant to Section 7.3 and (ii) are given
statutory priority to prior perfected consensual Liens under applicable Law). 
 Section 4.20. Solvency. Each Loan
Party is, and after giving effect to the incurrence of all Indebtedness and obligations being incurred in connection herewith will be, and will continue to be, Solvent. 
 Section 4.21. Subsidiary Guarantors. Each Subsidiary (other than any Immaterial Subsidiary) is a Subsidiary Guarantor. 
 Section 4.22. Maintenance of Property; Insurance. Each Group Member is maintaining and operating its properties, and is maintaining insurance on its property and operations, in each case in
compliance with the requirements of Section 6.5.

 ARTICLE 9. THE
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT 
 Section 9.1. Appointment and Authority. Each of the Lenders, the Swing Line Lender and the
Issuing Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints Wells Fargo Bank, National Association to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its
behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Section are solely for the benefit of
the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Swing Line Lender and the Issuing Lender, and neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions. 

Section 9.2. Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and
powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context
otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity
for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders. 

Section 9.3. Exculpatory Provisions. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly
set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent: 
 (a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing; 

(b) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary
rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be
expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to 

  
 80 









 
take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law; and 

(c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall
not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. 

The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Majority Lenders
(or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 10.1 and Article 8) or
(ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent by the
Borrower, a Lender, the Swing Line Lender or an Issuing Lender. 
 The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to
ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or
thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity,
enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article 5 or elsewhere herein, other than to
confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent. 
 Section 9.4. Reliance by
Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any
electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement
made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Revolving Loan, or the
issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Swing Line Lender or the Issuing Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender, the Swing Line
Lender or the Issuing Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender, the Swing Line Lender or the Issuing Lender prior to the making of such Revolving Loan or the issuance of such Letter of
Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the
advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. 

  
 81 









 Section 9.5. Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and
all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. Except (i) in circumstances in which the Administrative Agent
determines in good faith that such appointment is advisable to comply with applicable law or to avoid a disadvantageous economic, legal or regulatory consequence or (ii) when a Default shall have occurred and be continuing, any such sub-agent
shall be approved by the Borrower, such approval to not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective
Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article 9 shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with
the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent. 
 Section 9.6.
Resignation of Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the Swing Line Lender, the Issuing Lender and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the
Majority Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor
shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders, in consultation with the Borrower, and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring
Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders, the Swing Line Lender and the Issuing Lender, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower
and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and
obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders, the Swing Line Lender or the Issuing Lender under any of the Loan Documents, the
retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the
Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender, the Swing Line Lender and the Issuing Lender directly, until such time as the Majority Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section. Upon the
acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the
retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the Borrower to a
successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents, the provisions of this Article 9 and Section 10.5 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be
taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent. 

  
 82

Lender, the Swing Line Lender and each Issuing Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it
has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender, the Swing Line Lender and each Issuing Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative
Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this
Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. 

Section 9.8. No Other Duties, Etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Sole Book Manager, Joint Lead

Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Revolving Loan or L/C Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on
the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise: 
 (a) to file
and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Revolving Loans, L/C Obligations and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or

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

Aggregate Exposure Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or
related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), the Swing Line Lender or the Issuing Lender in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing
acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), the Swing Line Lender, or Issuing Lender in connection with such capacity.

hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Revolving Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in subsection (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by

Section (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective
successors and assigns permitted hereby, 

  
 89 









 
Participants to the extent provided in subsection (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the Swing
Line Lender, the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. 
 (b) Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of
its Revolving Commitment and the Revolving Loans (including for purposes of this subsection (b), participations in L/C Obligations) at the time owing to it); provided that 

(i) except in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Revolving Commitment
and the Revolving Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to a Lender, the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitment (which for this purpose includes
Revolving Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the Revolving Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Revolving Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment
and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if the “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the
Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); 

(ii) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s
rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Revolving Loans or the Revolving Commitment assigned, except that this clause (ii) shall not apply to the Swing Line Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of Swing Line
Loans; 
 (iii) any assignment of a Revolving Commitment must be approved by the Administrative Agent, the Swing
Line Lender, and the Issuing Lenders (such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) unless the Person that is the proposed assignee is itself a Lender (whether or not the proposed assignee would otherwise qualify as an Eligible Assignee); and

 (iv) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and
Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, and the Eligible Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire. 

Subject to acceptance thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in
each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and
the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned 

  
 90 









 
by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and
obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.9, 3.10, 3.11, and 10.5 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring
prior to the effective date of such assignment. Upon request, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not
comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with subsection (d) of this Section. 

(c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain
at the Administrative Agent’s office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Revolving Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Revolving
Loans and L/C Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and
the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by
each of the Borrower, the Swing Line Lender, and the Issuing Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. In addition, at any time that a request for a consent for a material or substantive change to the Loan
Documents is pending, any Lender may request and receive from the Administrative Agent a copy of the Register. 

(d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or
obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Revolving Commitment and/or the Revolving Loans (including such Lender’s participations in L/C Obligations) owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations
under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Swing Line
Lender, and the Issuing Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. 
 Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment,
modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification
described in clause (i) of the first proviso to Section 10.1 that affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (e) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections
3.9, 

  
 91 









 
3.10 and 3.11 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law,
each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.7 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 3.16 as though it were a Lender. 

(e) Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under
Section 3.9 or 3.10 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the
Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.10 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant
and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 3.10 as though it were a Lender. 
 (f) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure
obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee
or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. 
 (g) Electronic Execution of Assignments. The words
“execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the
same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures
in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, including the Texas Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. 

Section 10.7. Set-off. In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders, the Swing Line Lender, the Issuing Lenders or
each of their respective Affiliates provided by law, each Lender, the Swing Line Lender, the Issuing Lenders and each of their respective Affiliates shall have the right, without prior notice to the Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived
by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by the Borrower hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), to set off and appropriate and apply against such amount
any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured,
at any time held or owing by such Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower. Each Lender, the Swing Line Lender, and Issuing Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent
after any such setoff and application made by such Lender, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. 

  
 92 









 Section 10.8. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the
parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile
transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. 

Section 10.9. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as
to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
 Section 10.10. Integration. This Agreement and the other
Loan Documents represent the entire agreement of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the
Administrative Agent or any Lender relative to subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents. THIS WRITTEN AGREEMENT AND

its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective direct or indirect counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the consent of
the Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Lender, any Lender, any Issuing
Lender or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than a Group Member, unless such Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender, Lender, Issuing Lender or Affiliate has actual knowledge that such source owes an
obligation of confidence to a Group Member with respect to such Information. 
 For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all
information received from the Borrower or any Subsidiary relating to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Lender, any
Lender or any Issuing Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower or any Subsidiary, provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrower or any Subsidiary after the date hereof, such information is
clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised
the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. 

The Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders acknowledges that (a) the Information may include material non-public information concerning the
Borrower or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, (b) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and (c) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with applicable Law,
including Federal and state securities Laws. 
 Section 10.16. WAIVERS OF JURY TRIAL. THE BORROWER, THE
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN. EACH PARTY HERETO
(A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES
THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

 Section 10.17. Limitation on Interest. The Lenders, the Loan Parties and any
other parties to the Loan Documents 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
Documents shall ever be construed to create a contract to pay, for the use, forbearance or detention of money, interest in excess of the maximum amount of interest permitted to be charged by applicable law from time to time in effect. No Loan 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
amount that may be lawfully charged under applicable law from time to time in effect, and the provisions of this Section shall control over all other provisions of the Loan Documents which may be in conflict or apparent conflict herewith. The
Lenders 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 legal maximum, or (c) any Lender 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 that permitted to be charged by applicable law then in effect, then all sums determined to
constitute interest in excess of such legal limit shall, without penalty, be promptly applied to reduce the then outstanding principal of the related Obligations or, at such Lender’s or holder’s option, promptly returned to the Borrower or
the other payor thereof upon such determination. In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable, under any specific circumstances, exceeds the maximum amount permitted under applicable law, the Lenders and the Loan Parties (and any other
payors 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 instruments evidencing the Obligations in accordance with the amounts outstanding from time to time thereunder and the
maximum legal rate of interest from time to time in effect under applicable law in order to lawfully charge the maximum amount of interest permitted under applicable law. In the event applicable law provides for an interest ceiling under Chapter 303
of the Texas Finance Code, that ceiling shall be the weekly ceiling and shall be used when appropriate in determining the maximum amount of interest permitted to be charged. 
 Section 10.18. USA Patriot Act Notice. Each Lender that is subject to the Act (as hereinafter defined) and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies
the Borrower and each Guarantor that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001))(the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that
identifies the Borrower or Guarantor, as the case may be, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower or Guarantor, as the case may be, and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable,
to identify the Borrower or Guarantor, as the case may be, in accordance with the Act.

 Section 10.19. Existing Credit Agreement. 

(a) Effective on the Closing Date (i) this Agreement renews and extends (and does not release or novate) the
indebtedness and obligations outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement, (ii) the commitments under the Existing Credit Agreement are renewed and replaced by the commitments to the Borrower hereunder and all other covenants and provisions
of the Existing Credit Agreement are terminated, except provisions that expressly survive such termination pursuant to the terms of the Existing Credit Agreement, including indemnification provisions, (iii) except as provided in clause
(i) of this Section, all Liens and Guarantee Agreements securing or benefiting the commitments, obligations and liabilities under the Existing Credit Agreement shall continue and shall secure and benefit the Loans and other obligations and
liabilities of the Borrower under this Agreement, and the Security Documents delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall amend and restate the Liens and Guarantees securing or benefiting the commitments, obligations and liabilities under the Existing
Credit Agreement whether or not any such Security Document so expressly states. 
 (b) From and after the Closing
Date, (i) each Lender (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) that has not entered into this Agreement on the Closing Date (and will not have a Revolving Commitment hereunder) (an “Exiting Lender”) shall cease to be a party to
this Agreement, (ii) no Exiting Lender shall have any obligations or liabilities under this Agreement with respect to the period from and after the Closing Date and, without limiting the foregoing, no Exiting Lender shall have any Revolving
Commitment under this Agreement or any participation in any Letter of Credit outstanding hereunder, (iii) all letters of credit outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement will be deemed outstanding under this Agreement and will be governed
as if issued under this Agreement, and (iv) no Exiting Lender shall have any rights under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (other than rights under the Existing Credit Agreement expressly stated to survive the termination of such
agreement and the repayment of amounts outstanding thereunder). 
 (c) The Lenders hereby waive any requirements
for notice of prepayment and the payment of any related prepayment penalties, minimum amounts of prepayments of Loans (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement), ratable reductions of the commitments of the Lenders under the Existing Credit
Agreement and ratable payments on account of the principal or interest of any Loan (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) under the Existing Credit Agreement to the extent such prepayment, reductions or payments are required pursuant thereto.

 (d) The Lenders hereby confirm that, from and after the Closing Date, all participations of the Lenders in
respect of Letters of Credit outstanding under the Credit Agreement (including Existing Letters of Credit) shall be based upon the Revolving Percentages of the Lenders.
