incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender Party notifies Borrower, in writing of the increased costs and of such Lender Party’s intention to claim compensation thereof; provided, further, that if the
circumstance giving rise to such increased costs is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. 

(e) Survival. All of Borrower’s obligations under this Section 2.07 shall survive termination of
the Facility, repayment of all other Obligations hereunder, and resignation or replacement of Administrative Agent. 
 2.08 Taxes.

 (a) Payments Free of Taxes. 

(i) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of a Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall to
the extent permitted by applicable Laws be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Taxes. If, however, applicable Laws require a Loan Party or Administrative Agent to withhold or deduct any Tax, such Tax shall be withheld
or deducted in accordance with such Laws as determined in the good faith discretion of such Loan Party or Administrative Agent, as the case may be. 

(ii) If a Loan Party or Administrative Agent shall be required by the Internal Revenue Code or applicable Law to withhold or
deduct any Taxes from any payment, then (A) Administrative Agent or such Loan Party shall withhold or make such deductions as are determined by Administrative Agent or such Loan Party, as the case may be, to be required, (B) Administrative
Agent or such Loan Party shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with the Internal Revenue Code or such applicable Law, and (C) to the extent that the withholding or deduction
is made on account of Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by such Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after any required withholding or the making of all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable
under this Section) each Lender Party receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made. 

  
 20 








 (b) Payment of Other Taxes. Without limiting or duplication of the
provisions of Subsection (a) above, the Loan Parties shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law. 

(c) Indemnification. 

(i) Without limiting or duplication of the provisions of Subsection (a) or (b) above,
each Loan Party shall, and does hereby, indemnify each Lender Party, and shall make payment in respect thereof within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or
asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) withheld or deducted by such Loan Party or Administrative Agent or paid by such Lender Party, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or
with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of any such payment or liability delivered to Borrower by a Lender Party
(with a copy to Administrative Agent), or by Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender Party, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

(ii) Without limiting or duplication of the provisions of Subsection (a) or (b) above,
each Lender shall, and does hereby, indemnify Administrative Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within ten (10) days after demand therefor, against any and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities, penalties,
interest and expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for Administrative Agent) incurred by or asserted against Administrative Agent by any Governmental Authority as a result of the failure by such Lender to deliver, or
as a result of the inaccuracy, inadequacy or deficiency of, any documentation required to be delivered by such Lender to Administrative Agent pursuant to Subsection (e). Each Lender hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to set
off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due to Administrative Agent under this clause (ii). The agreements in this
clause (ii) shall survive the resignation or replacement of Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by a Lender, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other
Obligations. 

  
 21 








 (d) Evidence of Payments. Upon request by Borrower or Administrative
Agent, as the case may be, after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party or by Administrative Agent to a Governmental Authority as provided in this Section 2.08, Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent or Administrative
Agent shall deliver to Borrower, as the case may be, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of any return required by Laws to report such payment or other evidence of such
payment reasonably satisfactory to Borrower or Administrative Agent, as the case may be. 
 (e) Status of Lenders.
(i) Each Lender shall deliver to Borrower and to Administrative Agent, on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement or when reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent, such properly completed
and executed documentation prescribed by applicable Laws or by the taxing authorities of any jurisdiction and such other reasonably requested information as will permit Borrower or Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to determine
(A) whether or not payments made hereunder or under any other Loan Document are subject to Taxes, (B) if applicable, the required rate of withholding or deduction, and (C) such Lender’s entitlement to any available exemption
from, or reduction of, applicable Taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Lender by any Loan Party pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise to establish such Lender’s status for withholding tax purposes in the applicable
jurisdiction. Each Lender shall promptly (A) notify Borrower and Administrative Agent of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction, and (B) take such steps as shall not be
materially disadvantageous to it, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, and as may be reasonably necessary (including the re-designation of its Lending Office) to avoid any requirement of applicable Laws of any jurisdiction that any Loan Party
or Administrative Agent make any withholding or deduction for taxes from amounts payable to such Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than
such documentation set forth in Section 2.08(e)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would
subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. 

(ii) Without limiting or duplication of the foregoing, 

(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such
Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or Administrative Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup
withholding tax; 
 (B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower and
Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of
Borrower or Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable: 

  
 22 








 (1) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax
treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN (or applicable successor form) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal
withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN (or applicable successor form) establishing an exemption from, or
reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty; 

(2) executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI; 

(3) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of
the Internal Revenue Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code, a
“10 percent shareholder” of Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code (a
“U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN (or applicable successor form); or 

(4) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form
W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN (or applicable successor form), a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G-2 or Exhibit G-3, IRS Form W-9, or other certification documents from each beneficial owner,
as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate
substantially in the form of Exhibit G-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner; 
 (C) any
Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender
under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S.
federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Law to permit Borrower or Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and 

  
 23 








 (D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to
U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such
Lender shall deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable Law (including as
prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Loan Parties and Administrative Agent to comply with
their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this paragraph,
“FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. 
 (iii) Each Lender agrees
that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify Borrower and Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to
do so. 
 (iv) If Administrative Agent is a U.S. Person, it shall deliver to Borrower two executed originals of IRS Form W-9
certifying that it is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax. Otherwise, Administrative Agent (including any successor Administrative Agent that is not a U.S. Person) shall deliver to Borrower two duly completed copies of Form W-8IMY
certifying that it is a “U.S. branch” and that the payments it receives for the account of others are not effectively connected with the conduct of its trade or business in the United States and that it is using such form as evidence of
its agreement with the Loan Parties to be treated as a U.S. Person with respect to such payments (and the Loan Parties and Administrative Agent agree to so treat Administrative Agent as a U.S. Person with respect to such payments), with the effect
that the Loan Parties can make payments to Administrative Agent without deduction or withholding of any Taxes imposed by the United States. 

(f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. Unless required by applicable Laws, at no time shall Administrative Agent have any
obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Lender Party, or have any obligation to pay to any Lender Party, any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such Lender Party. If Administrative Agent or any
Lender Party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by any Loan Party or with respect to which any Loan Party has paid additional
amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to such Loan Party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Loan Party under this Section with
respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Administrative Agent or such Lender Party, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant
Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that such Loan Party, upon the request of Administrative Agent or such Lender Party, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Loan Party (plus any penalties, interest or other
charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to Administrative Agent or such Lender Party in the event Administrative Agent or such Lender Party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary in this Subsection (f), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Subsection (f) the payment of which would place the indemnified
party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments
or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This Subsection shall not be construed to require Administrative Agent or any Lender Party to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its
taxes that it deems confidential) to any Loan Party or any other Person. 

  
 24 








 (g) Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section 2.08, the term
“applicable Law” includes FATCA. 
 (h) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this
Section 2.08 shall survive termination of the Facility, repayment of all other Obligations hereunder, and resignation or replacement of Administrative Agent. 

2.09 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender shall notify Administrative Agent and Borrower
that any Law makes it unlawful, or any central bank or other Governmental Authority asserts that it is unlawful, for any Lender to perform its obligations to make or maintain Loans hereunder, the obligation of such Lender to make or maintain its
Ratable Share of the Loans shall be terminated and all Loans of such Lender, all interest thereon and all other amounts payable under this Agreement to such Lender shall become due and payable. Any Lender that becomes aware of circumstances that
would permit such Lender to notify Administrative Agent of any illegality under this Section 2.09 shall use its reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the
jurisdiction of its Lending Office if the making of such change would avoid or eliminate such illegality and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. 

2.10 Compensation for Losses. Borrower agrees to compensate each Lender, upon its written request (which request shall set forth in
reasonable detail the basis for requesting such compensation), for all reasonable and documented losses, expenses and liabilities (including any loss, expense or liability incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other
funds required by such Lender to fund its Loan but excluding loss of anticipated profits) which such Lender may sustain: (a) if for any reason (other than a default by such Lender or Administrative Agent) a borrowing does not occur on the date
specified therefor in the applicable Loan Notice; (b) if any prepayment or repayment (including any prepayment or repayment made pursuant to Sections 2.03 or 2.05 or as a result of an acceleration of the Loans
pursuant to Section 6.01) occurs on a date which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto; (c) if any prepayment of any Loan is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by Borrower; or
(d) as a consequence of any other default by Borrower to repay any Loan when required by the terms of this Agreement. Such loss, expense or liability to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the amount
(if any) by which (x) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Eurodollar Rate that would have been applicable to the Loan (which, for the avoidance of doubt, will
not include the Spread applicable thereto), for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the applicable Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, for the period that would have been the initial Interest
Period for the Loan) exceeds (y) the amount of interest that would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate that such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for Dollar deposits of a
comparable amount and period from banks in the London interbank market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall be delivered to
Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The obligation of Borrower in this clause shall survive the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the Obligations. 

  
 25 








 2.11 Evidence of Debt. 

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

(b) Administrative Agent shall also maintain accounts in which it will record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder,
(ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from Borrower to each Lender hereunder, and (iii) the amount of any sum received by Administrative Agent for the benefit of Lenders hereunder from
Borrower and each Lender’s share thereof. 
 (c) The entries maintained in the accounts maintained pursuant to
Subsections (a) and (b) above shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of Administrative Agent or
any Lender to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of Borrower to repay such obligations in accordance with their terms, and in the event of any conflict between such accounts and the Register
maintained by Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 8.06(e), the entries in the Register shall be controlling. It is the intention of the parties hereto that the Loans will be treated as in “registered form” within
the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code (and any other relevant or successor provisions of the Internal Revenue Code). 

(d) No promissory note shall be required to evidence the Loans by Lenders to Borrower. Upon the request of a Lender, Borrower
shall execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note, which shall evidence the Loans to Borrower by such Lender in addition to such records. Any promissory note issued to a Lender shall bear the following legend: 

THIS NOTE IS BEING ISSUED WITH ORIGINAL ISSUE DISCOUNT FOR UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX PURPOSES. FOR INFORMATION REGARDING THE ISSUE
PRICE, THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF ORIGINAL ISSUE DISCOUNT, THE ISSUE DATE, AND THE YIELD TO MATURITY OF THE NOTE, PLEASE CONTACT DAN J. COHRS, RENTECH NITROGEN HOLDINGS, INC., 10877 WILSHIRE BLVD., SUITE 600, LOS ANGELES CA 90024, TELEPHONE: 310-571-9800,
FAX: 310-208-7165. 

  
 26 








 2.12 Payments and Computations. 

(a) All payments to be made by Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment
or setoff. Borrower shall make each payment hereunder not later than 12:00 noon on the day when due in Dollars to Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at its office in New York, New York. Administrative Agent will promptly
distribute to each Lender its Ratable Share (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by Administrative Agent after
12:00 noon shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day (in Administrative Agent’s sole discretion) and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. 

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

(c) All payments (including, without limitation, prepayments and any other amounts received hereunder in connection with the
exercise of Administrative Agent’s and Lenders’ rights after an Event of Default) made by Borrower to Administrative Agent under any Loan Document shall be applied to amounts then due and payable in the following order: (i) to any
fees, expenses and indemnities payable by Borrower to Administrative Agent under any Loan Document; (ii) ratably to any expenses and indemnities payable by Borrower to any Lender under any Loan Document; (iii) to any accrued and unpaid
interest and fees due to any Lender under this Agreement; (iv) to principal payments on the outstanding Loans; and (v) to the extent of any excess, to the payment of all other Obligations under the Loan Documents. 

2.13 Administrative Agent’s Clawback. 

(a) Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless Administrative Agent shall have received notice from
a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Loan that such Lender will not make available to Administrative Agent such Lender’s Ratable Share of such Loan, Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such Ratable Share of such Loan
available on such date and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its Ratable Share of such Loan available to Administrative Agent, then the
applicable Lender and Borrower severally agree to pay to Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to Borrower to but excluding
the date of payment to Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank
compensation and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by Borrower, the Applicable Rate. If Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, Administrative Agent shall promptly
remit to Borrower the amount of such interest paid by Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its Ratable Share of the applicable Loan to Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such
borrowing. Any payment by Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to Administrative Agent. 

  
 27 








 (b) Payments by Borrower; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless
Administrative Agent shall have received notice from Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to Administrative Agent for the account of Lenders hereunder that Borrower will not make such payment, Administrative Agent may assume that
Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to Lenders the amount due. In such event, if Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally
agrees to repay to Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender, with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to
Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. 

(c) Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans and to make payments pursuant
to Section 2.08(c)(ii) or 8.04(c) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan or to make any payment under Section 2.08(c)(ii) or 8.04(c) on any date
required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan, to purchase its participation or to make its
payment under Section 2.08(c)(ii) or 8.04(c). 
 2.14 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 Loans made by it, resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate
amount of such Loans and accrued interest thereon greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash
at face value) participations in the Loans 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 Loans and other amounts owing them, provided that: (i) 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 (ii) the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (x) any
payment made by or on behalf of 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 Loans to any
assignee or participant, other than an assignment to Borrower or any Affiliate thereof (including Issuer) (as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply). Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so
under applicable Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct
creditor of Borrower in the amount of such participation. 

  
 28 








 2.15 Restricted Transactions; No-Rehypothecation; Existing Transfer Restrictions. 

(a) Except for any Permitted Transaction (or component thereof) and the transactions contemplated by the Preferred Equity
Documents, without the consent of Required Lenders (not to be unreasonably withheld), Borrower shall not, and shall not permit Guarantor or any Aggregated Person to, (i) sell, hedge (including any derivative transactions and short sales),
transfer or otherwise dispose of any Underlying Equity; (ii) incur additional Debt collateralized by any Underlying Equity, including without limitation synthetic “long” positions on the Underlying Equity; (iii) issue debt or
preferred stock or other instruments exchangeable into or otherwise referencing] the Underlying Equity; or (iv) enter into any agreement that contractually imposes any lock-up, encumbrance, or other restriction in respect of any Collateral
Shares, other than under the Facility and other than any agreement to which any Lender Party is a party. 
 (b) Each of the
following transactions shall be a “Permitted Transaction”: 
 (i) any sale of Underlying Equity (not
constituting Collateral) to an unaffiliated third party consummated pursuant to Rule 144 or a public offering for cash proceeds so long as any lockup agreement signed as a condition to such Rule 144 sale or public offering would not adversely affect
any Lender Party’s ability to foreclose on or Dispose of the Collateral Shares; and 
 (ii) any of the releases made in
accordance with Section 2.16 below. 
 (c) Each Lender Party agrees not to pledge, repledge, hypothecate,
rehypothecate, sell, assign, invest, lend, use, commingle or otherwise transfer for hedging, financing or other related activities (including without limitation, pursuant to repurchase transactions) any Collateral Shares; provided that the
foregoing shall not restrict (i) any Lender Party’s rights to assign, sell participations in or pledge the Obligations and the Collateral as permitted in Section 8.06 hereof or (ii) any Lender Party’s rights
and remedies after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default. 
 (d) The parties hereto acknowledge
and agree that the Collateral Shares are, in the hands of Borrower, subject to the Existing Transfer Restrictions and, in the hands of the Lender Parties exercising their rights with respect thereto in reliance on Rule 144 under the Securities Act,
subject to the requirements of Rule 144(b) and Rule 144(d)(3)(iv), in addition to any other requirements under Rule 144. 
 2.16 Release
of Collateral. Borrower may not withdraw any Collateral from any Collateral Account, except as provided in the following: 

(a) All dividends, distributions and proceeds in respect of the Collateral Shares, whether in cash, securities or other
property, shall be deposited into the Collateral Account and constitute Collateral. Borrower may, upon three (3) Business Days’ notice (or four (4) Business Days if such notice is not received by 12:00 noon on the applicable Business
Day) to Administrative Agent, request the release of Ordinary Cash Distributions deposited into the Collateral Account (which notice may be delivered prior to the deposit of such Ordinary Cash Distributions), and Administrative Agent shall instruct
Custodian to release such Ordinary Cash Distributions on the date specified by Borrower in such request so long as of the date of such release no Default or Event of Default has occurred, is continuing or would result from such release. 

  
 29 








 (b) Borrower may, upon three (3) Business Days’ notice (or four
(4) Business Days if such notice is not received by 12:00 noon on the applicable Business Day) to Administrative Agent, request the release of Collateral Shares from the Collateral Account in connection with a mandatory prepayment of the Loans
pursuant to Section 2.05(b), and Administrative Agent shall instruct Custodian to release such Collateral Shares on the date specified by Borrower in such request so long as of the date of such release (i) no Default or Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result from such release, (ii) Administrative Agent receives such prepayment simultaneously or prior to the release of the relevant number of Collateral Shares and (iii) after giving
effect to the release of Collateral Shares on such date, the amount of Collateral Shares in the Collateral Account shall not be less than (x) the Required Collateral Shares Amount multiplied by (y) a fraction (A) the numerator
of which is the outstanding principal amount of the Loan after giving effect to such prepayment and (B) the denominator of which is the Aggregate Commitment. 

(c) Borrower may, upon three (3) Business Days’ notice (or four (4) Business Days if such notice is not received
by 12:00 noon on the applicable Business Day) to Administrative Agent, request the release of Collateral Shares from the Collateral Account in connection with a deposit of Cash into the Collateral Account, and Administrative Agent shall instruct
Custodian to release such Collateral Shares on the date specified by Borrower in such request so long as of the date of such release (i) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result from such release,
(ii) Administrative Agent has received satisfactory evidence of such deposit of Cash into the Collateral Account and (iii) after giving effect to the release of Collateral Shares on such date, the amount of Collateral Shares in the
Collateral Account shall not be less than (x) the Required Collateral Shares Amount multiplied by (y) a fraction (A) the numerator of which is the outstanding principal amount of the Loan less the amount of Cash
deposited in (and not withdrawn from) the Collateral Account pursuant to this provision and (B) the denominator of which is the Aggregate Commitment. 

2.17 Facility Increase. Borrower may, prior to the Maturity Date, request an increase in the Aggregate Commitments up to an aggregate
principal amount of $75,000,000 (the “Facility Increase”) and may request that consenting Lenders (“Increasing Lenders”) make additional Loans up to the aggregate amount of such increased Aggregate Commitment;
provided, that no Lender shall be obligated to increase its Commitment. Borrowers may make a written request for such Facility Increase to Administrative Agent, who shall forward a copy of any such request to the Lender, which request shall specify
a proposed effective date for the Facility Increase and the aggregate amount of such increased Aggregate Commitment and shall constitute an invitation to each Lender to increase its Commitment under this Agreement consistent with the requested
Facility Increase. Each Lender, acting in its sole discretion and with no obligation to increase its Commitment under the Facility Increase shall by written notice advise Borrower and Administrative Agent whether or not such Lender agrees to all or
any portion of such Facility Increase. If any such Lender shall not have responded affirmatively within ten (10) Business Days, such Lender shall be deemed to have rejected in full Borrower’s request for an increase in such Lender’s
Commitment. With respect to the Facility Increase and the funding of additional Loans, (a) each Increasing Lender, Administrative Agent and Borrower shall have executed and delivered an amendment to this Agreement, in form and substance
satisfactory to each Increasing Lender and Administrative Agent, (b) Borrower shall have provided such additions to the Collateral as may be required in connection with the Facility Increase, (c) all fees and other amounts payable by
Borrower in connection with such Facility Increase shall have been paid, (d) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result from such Facility Increase and (e) all other terms and conditions of the
Facility Increase shall be satisfactory to each Increasing Lender and, to the extent affecting the duties of Administrative Agent, reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent.

 ARTICLE III. 

CONDITIONS PRECEDENT

 ARTICLE VII. 

ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT 
 7.01
Appointment and Authority. Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch to act on its behalf as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes Administrative Agent
to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. In performing its functions and
duties hereunder, Administrative Agent shall act solely as an agent of Lenders and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation towards or relationship of agency or trust with or for Borrower. Upon request of Administrative
Agent, each Lender agrees to promptly provide Administrative Agent with such information related to a Collateral Account or any Collateral subject to the control of such Lender. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Lender
Parties, and no Loan Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions. 
 7.02 Rights as a Lender. If
the Person serving as Administrative Agent hereunder also acts as a Lender hereunder, it 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 Administrative Agent and
the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Administrative Agent
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 Borrower or other Affiliate (including Issuer) thereof as if such Person
were not Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to Lenders. 
 7.03 Exculpatory Provisions. 

(a) 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, Administrative Agent: 
 (i) shall not be subject to any
fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; 

(ii) 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 Administrative Agent is required to exercise, provided that Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its
counsel, may expose Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Law; or 
 (iii)
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 Borrower or any of its Affiliates (including Issuer) that is
communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. 

  
 47 








 Neither Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties shall be liable for any action taken
or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the
circumstances as provided in Sections 8.01 and 6.01) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final, nonappealable judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction. Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until written notice describing such Default or Event of Default is given to Administrative Agent by Borrower or a Lender. 

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, conditions, or provisions set forth herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, or as to the use of the proceeds of the Loans, or as to the existence or possible
existence of any Default or Event of 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 III or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to Administrative Agent. 

7.04 Reliance by Administrative Agents. Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, shall be fully protected in relying on 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. 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 Loan, which by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, Administrative Agent may presume that such condition
is satisfactory to such Lender unless Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for 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. 

7.05 Delegation of Duties. Administrative Agent, without consent of or notice to any party hereto, 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 agents, sub-agents, affiliates or employees appointed by Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent and any such agents, sub-agent,
affiliates or employees 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 shall apply to any such agents, sub-agents, affiliates or
employees and to the Related Parties of Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facility provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative
Agent. 

  
 48 








 7.06 Resignation of Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent may at any time give notice
of its resignation to Lenders and Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with (and so long as no Default or Event of Default then exists, with approval of) Borrower, to
appoint a successor Administrative Agent. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by Required Lenders or an appointed successor does not accept such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives
notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, provided that if Administrative Agent shall notify Borrower and Lenders that no Person has accepted such
appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (a) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents
(except that if any Collateral is then held by Administrative Agent on behalf of Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such Collateral until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is
appointed) and (b) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as Required Lenders appoint a successor
Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall take such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to transfer all Collateral held by it to the successor Administrative Agent. 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). After the retiring Administrative
Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article VII and Section 8.04 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. 

7.07 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance
upon Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, performed its own analysis and made its own decision (credit, legal and otherwise) to enter into
this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon 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 perform its own analysis and make its own decisions (credit, legal and otherwise) 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. 
 7.08
No Other Duties. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, Administrative Agent shall not have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity as Administrative
Agent hereunder or thereunder. 

  
 49 








 7.09 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any
proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to Borrower, Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loans shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise
and irrespective of whether Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise: 

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and
all other obligations that are owing and unpaid to Administrative Agent or any other Lender Parties under the Loan Documents and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lender Parties and
Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Lender Parties and Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due Lender Parties and
Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and 
 (b) to collect and receive any
monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; 
 and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee,
liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender Party to make such payments to Administrative Agent and, in the event that Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of
such payments directly to Lender Parties, to pay to Administrative Agent any amount due Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents. 
 Nothing contained
herein shall be deemed to authorize Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender Party any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the obligations owed by Borrower
hereunder or the rights of any Lender Party or to authorize Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender Party in any such proceeding. 

ARTICLE VIII.

recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof. Borrower shall indemnify Administrative Agent, each other Lender Party and the Related Parties of each of them from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such
Person on each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of Borrower. All telephonic notices to and other telephonic communications with Administrative Agent may be recorded by Administrative Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to

 8.03 No Waiver; Remedies. No failure on the part of any Lender Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any
right hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall the single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The remedies herein
provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by Law. No notice to or demand on Borrower in any case shall entitle Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the
rights of any Lender Party to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.

Loan or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom, or (iii) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought
by a third party or by Borrower or any Related Party of Borrower, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto, provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims,
damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted primarily from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. This
Section 8.04(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim. 

  
 54 








 (c) Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that any Loan Party for any
reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under Subsection (a) or (b) of this Section to be paid by it to Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof) or any Related Party of any of the foregoing,
each Lender severally agrees to pay to Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Ratable Share (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 Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) in
its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) in connection with such capacity. The obligations of Lenders under this Subsection (c) are subject
to the provisions of Section 2.12(c). 
 (d) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest
extent permitted by applicable Law, no Loan Party shall assert, and each Loan Party hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual
damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan 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 unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or
other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. 

(e) Payments. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than ten (10) Business Days after
demand therefor. 
 (f) Survival. The agreements in this Section shall survive the resignation or replacement of
Administrative Agent, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Facility and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations. 

8.05 Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of Borrower is made to Administrative Agent or any other Lender
Party, or Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required
(including pursuant to any settlement entered into by Administrative Agent or such Lender Party in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise,
then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and
(b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the
date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the resignation or replacement of
Administrative Agent, the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. 

  
 55 








 8.06 Assignments and Participations. 

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective
successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent and each Lender. Any Lender may, with the prior
written consent of Administrative Agent and Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), assign to any Person (other than a natural person or Borrower or any of Borrower’s Affiliates (including Issuer)) all or a portion
of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, but not limited to, all or a portion of the Loans); provided, however, that (i) no consent from Administrative Agent or Borrower shall be required if a Lender assigns
all or any portion of its obligations to any other Lender, Administrative Agent or any Affiliate thereof, and (ii) no consent from Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing; provided further
that Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received notice thereof. The parties to each such
assignment shall execute and deliver to Administrative Agent for its acceptance an Assignment and Assumption, whereupon such assignee, to the extent of the assigned interest, shall be a “Lender” hereunder. The assignee, if it shall
not be a Lender, shall deliver to Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire (in which the assignee shall designate one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information will be made available and who may receive such
information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and state securities laws) and all applicable tax forms. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Administrative Agent may withhold its consent to
an assignment if Administrative Agent does not approve the proposed assignee. 
 (b) Except in the case of an assignment to a
Lender or an Affiliate of any Lender or an assignment of all of a Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement or if an Event of Default shall have occurred hereunder, the Commitments or Loans of the assigning Lender being assigned to
such assignee pursuant to such assignment (determined as of the date of the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment) shall in no event be less than $5,000,000 and shall be in an integral multiple of $1,000,000, unless
Administrative Agent otherwise consents. 
 (c) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by Administrative Agent, from and
after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the 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 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 2.07, 2.08, 2.10,
and 8.04 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. 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 (f) of this Section. 

  
 56 








 (d) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an
assignor and an assignee, an administrative questionnaire completed in respect of the assignee (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the written consent of Administrative Agent (if required) and Borrower (if required) to such
assignment and any applicable tax forms, Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and promptly record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment by a Lender shall be effective unless it has been recorded
in the Register as provided in this subsection (d). 
 (e) Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose
as an agent of Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in the United States a copy of each Assignment and Assumption Agreement delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of each Lender, and the Commitments
of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and Borrower, Administrative Agent
and Lenders shall 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 Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 
 (f) Any Lender may
at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, Borrower or Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or Borrower or any of Borrower’s Affiliates (including Issuer)) (each, a
“Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment or the Loans 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) Borrower, Administrative Agent, and the 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 the first proviso to Section 8.01 that affects such Participant. Subject to Subsection (g) of this Section, Borrower agrees that
each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.07, 2.08 and 2.10 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to this Section. To the
extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 8.14 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.14 as though it
were a Lender. 

  
 57 








 Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as
an agent of Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the
“Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a
Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit
or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name
is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, Administrative Agent (in its capacity as administrative agent)
shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. 
 (g) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive
any greater payment under Sections 2.07 and 2.08 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant. A Participant shall not be entitled to the
benefits of Section 2.08 unless such Participant agrees, for the benefit of Borrower, to comply with Section 2.08(e) as though it were a Lender (it being understood that the documentation required under
Section 2.08(e) shall be delivered to the participating Lender). 
 (h) Any Lender may, in connection with
any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 8.06 and subject to the provisions of Section 8.12, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee
or participant any information relating to Borrower or any of its Affiliates (including Issuer) furnished to such Lender by or on behalf of Borrower. 

(i) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to
secure obligations of such Lender, including 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. 
 8.07 Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction. 

(a) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New
York, without giving effect to its conflict of laws provisions other than Section 5-1401 of the New York General Obligations Law. 

  
 58 








 (b) Submission to Jurisdiction. Borrower irrevocably and unconditionally
submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court of the Southern District of the State of New York, and all appropriate appellate courts or, if jurisdiction in such court is lacking, any New
York State court of competent jurisdiction sitting in New York County (and all appropriate appellate courts), in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for recognition or enforcement of
any judgment, and each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State court or, to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable Law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by
law. Nothing in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document shall affect any right that Administrative Agent or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against Borrower
or the properties of either such party in the courts of any jurisdiction. 
 (c) Waiver of Venue. Borrower irrevocably
and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document
in any court referred to in Subsection (b) of this Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such
action or proceeding in any such court. 
 (d) Service of Process. Each party hereto irrevocably consents to service
of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 8.02(a). Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party hereto to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable Law. 

(e) WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE
LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT
OR ANY OTHER THEORY). 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 8.07(e). 
 8.08 Severability. In case any provision in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be
held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, such provision shall be severable from the rest of this Agreement or such other Loan Document, as the case may be, and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in
any way be affected or impaired thereby. 

  
 59 








 8.09 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; Electronic Execution; Securities Contract.

 (a) Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different
parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and any separate letter agreements with
respect to fees payable to Administrative Agent, constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter
hereof. Except as provided in Section 3.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by Administrative Agent and when Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken
together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopier shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. 

(b) 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. 
 8.10 Survival of
Representations. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and
thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by Administrative Agent and each other Lender Party, regardless of any investigation made by Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party or on their behalf and
notwithstanding that Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or Event of Default at the time of making any Loan, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other
Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied. 
 8.11 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If Administrative Agent or
any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to Borrower. In determining whether the interest
contracted for, charged, or received by Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium
rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations
hereunder. 

  
 60 








 8.12 Confidentiality. The terms and provisions of Sections 1, 3, 4, 5, 7 and 9 of the
Confidentiality Agreement, dated December 17, 2013, by and between Guarantor and GSO Capital Partners LP (the “Confidentiality Agreement”) shall apply herein, mutatis mutandis, as if set out in this Agreement in full and
as if each reference therein to “GSO”, “we” or “us” were a reference to Lenders party to this Agreement on the Closing Date (each an “Original Lender”) and any Affiliate of an Original Lender that
becomes a Lender after the Closing Date, and such Lenders shall have the same obligations with respect to Information (as defined therein) herein as therein, except that the term provided for under Section 7 of the Confidentiality Agreement is,
for purposes of this Section 8.12, hereby extended until the first anniversary of the Closing Date. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of Sections 2, 6, 8 and 10 of the Confidentiality Agreement and the requirement to
either return or destroy confidential information pursuant to Section 3 of the Confidentiality Agreement shall not apply herein nor be extended pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence. 

Administrative Agent and each Lender Party that becomes party to this Agreement after the Closing Date (other than any Affiliate of an
Original Lender), agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its Related Parties (it being understood that the Persons to whom such
disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential); (b) to the extent required or requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over
such Person or its Related Parties (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners); (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process;
(d) to any other party hereto; (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights
hereunder or thereunder; (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of, or any prospective assignee of, any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, or
(ii) any actual or prospective party (or its Related Parties) to any swap, derivative or other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to Borrower and its obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder; (g) on a
confidential basis to (i) any rating agency in connection with rating Borrower or its Subsidiaries or the Loans, (ii) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers with
respect to the Facility or (iii) any administration, management or settlement service providers; (h) with the consent of Borrower; or (i) 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 Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than Borrower. 

For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from any Loan Party or any of their
respective Subsidiaries relating to any Loan Party or any of their respective Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to any Lender Party on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by
any Loan Party or any of their respective Subsidiaries; provided that, in the case of information received from any Loan Party or any of their respective Subsidiaries 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. 

  
 61 








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

8.14 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Administrative Agent and each other Lender Party,
and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever
currency) at any time held, and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing, by Administrative Agent or any Lender Party or any such Affiliate, to or for the credit or the account of Borrower against any and all of the obligations of
Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Administrative Agent or Lender Party or its Affiliates, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or Affiliate shall have made any demand under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of Borrower may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch, office or Affiliate of Administrative Agent or any Lender Party different from the branch, office or Affiliate
holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of each Lender Party and its Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender Party or its Affiliates
may have. Each Lender Party agrees to notify Borrower and Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. 

8.15 Headings Descriptive. The headings of the sections and subsections of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall
not in any way affect the meaning or construction of any provision of this Agreement. 

  
 62 








 8.16 USA PATRIOT Act Notice. Each Lender Party that is subject to the Act (as hereinafter
defined) and Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001))
(the “Patriot Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies Borrower, which information includes the name and address of Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender Party or
Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify Borrower in accordance with the Act. Borrower agrees to promptly provide any Lender Party or Administrative Agent with all of the information requested by such Person to the extent such Person deems
such information reasonably necessary to identify Borrower in accordance with the Act. 
 8.17 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and
the other Loan Documents constitute the entire agreement between the parties hereto relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, between the parties hereto relating to the
subject matter hereof.
