have delivered to the Administrative Agent, on or prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time on such Term Loan Increase Date (or on or prior to a time on an earlier date specified by the Administrative Agent), an agreement, in form and
substance satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, pursuant to which such Lender shall, effective as of such Term Loan Increase Date, undertake Loans or an increase of Loans, duly executed by such Assuming Lender and the Borrower
and acknowledged by the Administrative Agent. 
 Promptly following satisfaction of such conditions, the Administrative Agent
shall notify the Lenders (including any Assuming Lenders) thereof and of the occurrence of the Term Loan Increase Date by facsimile transmission or electronic messaging system. 

(iii) Recordation into Register. Upon its receipt of an agreement referred to in clause (ii)(y) above executed
by an Assuming Lender or any Increasing Lender, together with the certificate referred to in clause (ii)(x) above, the Administrative Agent shall, if such agreement has been completed, (x) accept such agreement, (y) record the
information contained therein in the Register and (z) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower. 

  
 33 









 (iv) Adjustments of Loans upon Effectiveness of Increase. On the Term
Loan Increase Date, the Borrower shall borrow new Loans hereunder from the Assuming Lenders and the Increasing Lenders in an aggregate amount equal to such Term Loan Increase by using the procedures set forth herein for Loans made on the Effective
Date (as such procedures may be adjusted by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion) and from each Assuming Lender and each Increasing Lender pro rata in accordance with its portion of the Term Loan Increase; provided that the
existing Lenders, the Increasing Lenders and the Assuming Lenders shall make and receive payments among themselves, in a manner acceptable to the Administrative Agent, so that, after giving effect thereto, the Loans are held ratably by the Lenders
in accordance with the respective Applicable Percentage of such Lenders (after giving effect to such Term Loan Increase). Immediately prior to the funding of the new Loans on the Term Loan Increase Date, the Administrative Agent shall amend Schedule
1.01(b) to reflect the aggregate amount of each Lender’s Loans (including increasing Lenders and Assuming Lenders). 

SECTION 2.07. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. 
 (a) Repayment. Subject to, and in accordance with, the terms of this Agreement, the Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for account of the Lenders the
outstanding principal amount of the Loans on the Maturity Date. 
 (b) Manner of Payment. Prior to any repayment or
prepayment of any Borrowings hereunder, the Borrower shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings to be paid and shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such selection not later than the time set forth in
Section 2.08(e) prior to the scheduled date of such repayment; provided that each repayment of Borrowings shall be applied to repay any outstanding ABR Borrowings before any other Borrowings. If the Borrower fails to make a timely
selection of the Borrowing or Borrowings to be repaid or prepaid, such payment shall be applied, first, to pay any outstanding ABR Borrowings and, second, to other Borrowings in the order of the remaining duration of their respective Interest
Periods (the Borrowing with the shortest remaining Interest Period to be repaid first). Each payment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in such Borrowing (except as otherwise provided in Section 2.11(b)). 

(c) Maintenance of Records by Lenders. Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice records evidencing the
indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder. 

(d) Maintenance of Records by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall maintain records in which it shall record
(i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Type thereof and each Interest Period therefor, (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) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof. 

  
 34 









 (e) Effect of Entries. The entries made in the records maintained pursuant to
paragraph (c) or (d) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence, absent manifest error, of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the
Administrative Agent to maintain such records or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 

(f) Promissory Notes. Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note; in such event, the Borrower
shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its permitted registered assigns) and in a form attached hereto as Exhibit C. Thereafter, the
Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the payee named therein (or, if
such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its permitted registered assigns). 
 SECTION 2.08.
Prepayment of Loans. 
 (a) Optional Prepayments. 

(i) The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time (but subject to Section 2.08(d)) to prepay
any Borrowing in whole or in part, subject to the requirements of this Section. Each prepayment in part under this Section 2.08 shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 or a larger multiple of $100,000. 

(ii) Prepayment Premium. Upon any optional prepayment of Loans under Section 2.08(a)(i), the Borrower shall
pay to the holders of such Loans a prepayment premium in respect of the principal amount of such Loans so prepaid in an amount equal to 1% of such principal amount for any prepayment made on or before the first anniversary of the Effective Date. No
prepayment premium shall be required hereunder (subject to Section 2.13) in respect of any prepayment of such Loans made on or after such first anniversary. No such prepayment premium will be payable in connection with any mandatory prepayment
made in accordance with Sections 2.08(b) or (d). 
 (b) Mandatory Prepayments due to Collateral Base Deficiency. In
the event that the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Loans exceeds the aggregate amount of the Loans listed on Schedule 1.01(b) (as amended pursuant to Section 2.06), the Borrower shall prepay (subject to Section 2.08(d)) Loans
in such amount as shall be necessary so that the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Loans does not exceed the aggregate amount of the Loans listed on Schedule 1.01(b) (as amended pursuant to Section 2.06). In the event that at any
time any Collateral Base Deficiency shall exist, within 5 Business Days the Borrower shall (subject to Section 2.08(d)) either prepay (x) the Revolving Loans so that the Collateral Base Deficiency is promptly cured, or (y) the
Revolving Loans, the Loans and the Other Covered Indebtedness in such amounts as shall be necessary so that such Collateral Base Deficiency is 

  
 35 









 
promptly cured (and, as among the Loans and the Other Covered Indebtedness, at least ratably (based on the outstanding principal amount of such Indebtedness) as to prepayment of Loans in relation
to the Other Covered Indebtedness), provided, however that if within such 5 Business Day period, the Borrower shall present to the Administrative Agent a reasonably feasible plan that will enable any such Collateral Base Deficiency to
be cured within 30 Business Days of the occurrence of such Collateral Base Deficiency (which 30-Business Day period shall include the 5 Business Days permitted for delivery of such plan), then such prepayment or reduction shall be effected in
accordance with such plan (subject, for the avoidance of doubt, to the limitations set forth above in this Section 2.08(b)). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall pay interest in accordance with Section 2.10(c) for so long as
the Covered Debt Amount exceeds the Collateral Base during such 30-Business Day Period. For clarity, in the event that the Collateral Base Deficiency is not cured prior to the end of such 5 Business Day period (or, if applicable, such 30- Business
Day period), it is shall constitute an Event of Default under clause (a) of Article VIII. 
 (c) [Intentionally
Omitted]. 
 (d) Mandatory Prepayments after the occurrence and during the continuance of Events of Default.

 (i) Unless otherwise expressly provided in Section 8 of the Guaranty and Security Agreement, upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or an event of default under the Revolving Credit Facility, each mandatory and optional prepayment (other than prepayments pursuant to Section 2.08(b) of the Revolving Credit
Facility, which may be paid solely to the Multicurrency Lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility) by the Borrower on account of the Loans and/or the Revolving Loans shall be made and applied ratably (based on the outstanding principal amounts
of such indebtedness) to the Loans and the Revolving Loans, except to the extent that Section 2.08(d)(ii) permits a greater proportion of such prepayment to be applied to the Revolving Loans. 

(ii) In the case of any prepayment to be made on account of Loans under Section 2.08(d)(i), the Borrower may, at its
option, request each Lender to waive its right to receive its pro rata share of such prepayment (each such amount, a “Declined Amount”). Such request shall be in writing and delivered to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent not less
than five Business Days prior to the proposed prepayment date. If any Lender agrees (in its sole discretion) to such request and such Lender consents to such waiver of the prepayment of its Declined Amount in writing to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent prior to the time such prepayment is required or proposed to be made, the Borrower shall apply such Declined Amount to prepayment of the Revolving Loans. 
 (e) Notices, Etc. The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurocurrency
Borrowing under Section 2.08(a), not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment or (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing under Section 2.08(a), or any prepayment
under Section 2.08(b), not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, one Business Day before the date of prepayment. 

  
 36 









 
Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date, the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid and, in the case of a mandatory prepayment, a
reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment; provided that any notice of a prepayment may state that it is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or note or equity offerings, the consummation of a
particular transaction (including an asset sale or the occurrence of a change of control), in which case such notice may be revoked (or the prepayment date extended) by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified
prepayment date) if such condition is not satisfied, but still subject to Section 2.13. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each
prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.10 and shall be made in the manner specified in
Section 2.07(b). 
 SECTION 2.09. Fees. 

(a) Administrative Agent Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the
amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. 
 (b) Payment of Fees and
Expenses. All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in Dollars and immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances absent manifest error. Any fees representing
the Borrower’s reimbursement obligations for expenses, to the extent requirements of invoice not otherwise specified in this Agreement, shall be due (subject to the other terms and conditions contained herein) within ten Business Days of the
date that the Borrower receives from the Administrative Agent a reasonably detailed invoice for such reimbursement obligations. 

SECTION 2.10. Interest. 
 (a) ABR Loans. The Loans constituting each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin. 

(b) Eurocurrency Loans. The Loans constituting each Eurocurrency Borrowing shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the
Adjusted LIBO Rate for the related Interest Period for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin. 
 (c) Default
Interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, or if the Covered Debt Amount exceeds the Collateral Base during the 30-Business Day period referred to in Section 2.08(b), the interest
applicable to Loans shall accrue, and any fee or other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of principal of any Loan, 2% plus the
rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided above, or (ii) in the case of any fee or other amount, 2% plus the rate applicable to ABR Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section. 

  
 37 









 (d) Payment of Interest. Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on
each Interest Payment Date for such Loan in Dollars and upon termination of the Loans; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any
repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR Loan prior to the Maturity Date), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the
event of any conversion of any Eurocurrency Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Borrowing shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion. 

(e) Computation. All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by
reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days
elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate or Adjusted LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

SECTION 2.11. Eurocurrency Borrowing Provisions. 
 (a) Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of the Interest Period for any Eurocurrency Borrowing: 

(i) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate
and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period; or 
 (ii)
the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their respective Loans included in such
Borrowing for such Interest Period; 
 then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or
telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the
conversion of any Borrowing to, or the continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurocurrency Borrowing and such Borrowing (unless prepaid) shall be continued as, or converted to, an ABR Borrowing and (ii) if the Borrowing Request requests a
Eurocurrency Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing. 
 (b) Illegality. Without duplication of any
other rights that any Lender has hereunder, if any Lender determines that any law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful for any Lender to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined
by reference to the LIBO Rate, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the LIBO Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in


  
 38 









 
the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, (i) any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurocurrency
Borrowings or to convert ABR Borrowings to Eurocurrency Borrowings shall be suspended, and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining Eurocurrency Borrowings the interest rate on which is determined by reference
to the LIBO Rate component of the Alternate Base Rate, the interest rate on which ABR Borrowings of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the LIBO Rate component of
the Alternate Base Rate, in each case until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, (x) all Eurocurrency Borrowings of
such Lender shall automatically convert to ABR Borrowings (the interest rate on which ABR Borrowings of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the LIBO Rate component
of the Alternate Base Rate), either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Borrowings to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such
Eurocurrency Borrowings and (y) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon the LIBO Rate, the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Alternate Base
Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the LIBO Rate component thereof until the Administrative is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon the LIBO
Rate. Upon any such conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so converted. 
 SECTION 2.12.
Increased Costs. 
 (a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall: 

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge, or similar
requirement against assets of, deposits with or for account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate); or 

(ii) subject any Lender to any Taxes (other than (A) Covered Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses
(c) or (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable
thereto; or 
 (iii)  (ii)impose on any Lender or the London interbank market
any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Eurocurrency Loans made by such Lender or participation therein; 
 and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining any Eurocurrency Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to reduce
the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to such Lender, in Dollars, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such
additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. 

  
 39 









 (b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender determines that any Change in Law regarding
capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by such
Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with
respect to capital adequacy or liquidity position), by an amount deemed to be material by such Lender, then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender, in Dollars, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such
Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. 
 (c) Certificates from Lenders. A certificate of a
Lender setting forth the amount or amounts, in Dollars, necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be promptly delivered to the Borrower
and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof. 
 (d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such
compensation; provided that no Obligor shall be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than six months prior to the date that such
Lender notifies the Borrower in writing of any such Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions. 

SECTION 2.13. Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurocurrency Loan other
than on the last day of an Interest Period therefor (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period therefor, (c) the failure to borrow, convert,
continue or prepay any Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice is permitted to be revocable under Section 2.08(e) and is revoked in accordance herewith), or (d) the
assignment as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.17(b) of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period therefor, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the
loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurocurrency Loan, the loss to any Lender attributable to any such event shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be equal to the excess, if any, of

 (i) the amount of interest that such Lender would pay for a deposit equal to the principal amount of such Loan
referred to in clauses (a), (b), (c) or (d) of this Section 2.13 denominated in Dollars for the period from the date of such payment, conversion, failure or assignment to the last day of the then current Interest Period for such Loan
(or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the duration of the Interest Period that would have resulted from such borrowing, conversion or continuation) if the interest rate payable on such deposit were equal to the Adjusted
LIBO Rate for Dollars for such Interest Period, over 

  
 40 









 (ii) the amount of interest that such Lender would earn on such principal
amount for such period if such Lender were to invest such principal amount for such period at the interest rate that would be bid by such Lender (or an affiliate of such Lender) for deposits denominated in Dollars from other banks in the
Eurocurrency market at the commencement of such period. 
 Payments under this Section shall be made upon written request of a Lender
delivered not later than five Business Days following the payment, conversion, or failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay that gives rise to a claim under this Section accompanied by a written certificate of such Lender setting forth in
reasonable detail the amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section, which certificate shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate
within 10 days after receipt thereof. 
 SECTION 2.14. Taxes. 

(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under any other
Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Covered Taxes; provided that if the Borrower shall be required to deduct any Covered Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as
necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.14) the Administrative Agent or Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had
no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. In addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental
Authority in accordance with applicable law. 
 (c) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify the
Administrative Agent and each Lender for and, within 10 Business Days after written demand therefor, pay the full amount of any Covered Taxes or Other Taxes (including Covered Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts
payable under this Section 2.14(c)) paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Covered Taxes were
correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a
Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 (d) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment
of Covered Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy
of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. If the Borrower fails to pay any Covered Taxes or Other Taxes when due to the appropriate Governmental 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 each Lender for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by the
Administrative Agent or such Lender as a result of such failure. 

  
 41 









 (e) Lenders. Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of
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 as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a
reduced rate. 
 In addition, any Lender, if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other
documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or
information reporting requirements. 
 Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the Borrower is resident for U.S.
federal income tax purposes in the United States, (A) any Lender that is a “United States person” as defined in section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on
which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or such other documentation or
information prescribed by applicable laws or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup
withholding or information reporting requirement; and (B) each Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which
such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, but, in any event, only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so),
whichever of the following is applicable: 
 (i) duly completed executed originals of Internal Revenue Service
Form W-8BEN or any successor form claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party, 
 (ii) duly completed executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or any successor form certifying that the income receivable pursuant to this Agreement is effectively connected with the
conduct of a trade or business in the United States, 
 (iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the
benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (A) a certificate, signed under penalties of perjury, to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (1) a “bank” within the meaning of
Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (2) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (3) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in
Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (B) duly completed executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or any successor form) certifying that the Foreign Lender is not a United States Person, or 

  
 42 









 (iv) any other form including Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY, as
prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States Federal withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower
to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made. 
 In addition, each Lender shall deliver such forms promptly
upon the expiration or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Lender, provided it is legally able to do so at the time. Each Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at any time that it becomes aware
that it no longer satisfies the legal requirements to provide any previously delivered form or certificate to the Borrower (or any other form of certification adopted by the U.S. or other taxing authorities for such purpose). 

(f) If a payment made to a Lender under this Agreement would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender
were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower such
documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, at the time or times prescribed by
law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, as may be necessary for the Administrative Agent and the Borrower 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 any such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.14(f), “FATCA” shall include any amendment made to FATCA after the
date hereof. 
 (g) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If the Administrative Agent or any Lender determines, in its sole
discretion, that it has received a refund or credit of any Covered Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.14, it
shall pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such refund or credit (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section with respect to the Covered Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise
to such refund or credit), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such
refund or credit), provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental
Authority) to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or any Lender is required to repay such refund or credit to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g), in no
event will the Administrative Agent or any Lender be required to pay any amount to the 

  
 43 









 
Borrower pursuant to this paragraph (g) the payment of which would place the Administrative Agent or such Lender in a less favorable net position after-Taxes than the Administrative Agent or
such Lender would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This subsection shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its
tax returns or its books or records (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person. 
 (h) Each of the Administrative Agent and each Lender represents that as of the date hereof (or, in the case of an assignee pursuant to Section 9.04(b)(i), as of the date of assignment) it is not
participating in a conduit financing arrangement as defined in Section 7701(l) of the Code and the regulations thereunder (regardless of whether such arrangement is pursuant to the use of an SPC as defined in Section 9.04(e)) in connection
with its participation in any of the Loan Documents (a “Conduit Financing Arrangement”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.14, if the Internal Revenue Service determines that any SPC (as defined in
Section 9.04(e)) is a conduit entity participating in a Conduit Financing Arrangement with respect to any Loan Document and the Borrower was not a participant to such arrangement (other than as a Borrower under this Agreement), then
(i) the Borrower shall have no obligation to pay additional amounts or indemnify the SPC for any Taxes with respect to any payments hereunder to the extent that the amount of such Taxes exceeds the amount that would have otherwise been withheld
or deducted had the Internal Revenue Service not made such a determination and (ii) such SPC shall indemnify the Borrowers in full for any and all taxes for which the Borrower is held directly liable under Section 1461 of the Code by
virtue of such Conduit Financing Arrangement; provided that such Borrower (A) promptly forward to the indemnitor an official receipt of such documentation satisfactorily evidencing such payment, (B) contest such tax upon the reasonable
request of the indemnitor and at such indemnitor’s cost and (C) pay such indemnitor within thirty (30) days any refund of such taxes (including interest thereon). 

SECTION 2.15. Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment: Sharing of Set-offs. 

(a) Payments by the Borrower. The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal,
interest, fees, or under Section 2.12, 2.13 or 2.14, or otherwise) or under any other Loan Document (except to the extent otherwise provided therein) prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date when due, in immediately
available funds, without set-off, deduction or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of
calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Account, except as otherwise expressly provided in the relevant Loan Document and except payments pursuant to
Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.14 and 9.03, which shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly
following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon
shall be payable for the period of such extension. 

  
 44 









 All amounts owing under this Agreement (including fees, payments required under
Sections 2.12 and 2.13 or under any other Loan Document (except to the extent otherwise provided therein) are payable in Dollars. 
 (b) Application of Insufficient Payments. If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees then
due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, to pay interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, to
pay principal then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties. 
 (c) Pro Rata Treatment. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein: (i) each Borrowing shall be made from the Lenders, pro rata according to the amounts of their respective Loans;
(ii) each Borrowing shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders according to the amounts of their respective Loans (in the case of the making of Loans) or their respective Loans (in the case of conversions and continuations of Loans);
(iii) each payment or prepayment of principal of Loans by the Borrower shall be made for account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Loans held by them; and (iv) each payment of
interest on Loans by the Borrower shall be made for account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the amounts of interest on such Loans then due and payable to the respective Lenders. 

(d) Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain
payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans, resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans, and accrued interest thereon then due than the proportion received by
any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the
Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto
is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower
pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee, other than to the Borrower or any
Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation
pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.


  
 45 









 (e) Presumptions of Payment. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received
notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such
payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to
the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent
at the Federal Funds Effective Rate. 
 (f) Certain Deductions by the Administrative Agent. If any Lender shall fail to
make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.04(a) or (b) or 2.15(e), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by
the Administrative Agent for account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid. 
 SECTION 2.16. Defaulting Lenders. 
 Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to
the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Loans held by such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether all Lenders or the Required Lenders have taken or may
take any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 9.02, except for any amendment or waiver described in Section 9.02(b)(i), (ii) or (iii)), provided that
any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender which affects such Defaulting Lender differently than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender. 

In the event that the Administrative Agent and the Borrower each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that
caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then, on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders as the Administrative shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in
accordance with its Applicable Percentage. 
 SECTION 2.17. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

 (a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender exercises its rights under Section 2.11(b) or
requests compensation under Section 2.12, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.14, then such Lender shall use reasonable
efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates,
if in the sole judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.12 or 2.14, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the circumstance giving rise to such
Lender exercising its rights under Section 2.11(b) and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any cost or expense not required to be reimbursed by the Borrower and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby
agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. 

  
 46 









 (b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender exercises its rights under
Section 2.11(b) or requests compensation under Section 2.12, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.14, or if any Lender
becomes a Defaulting Lender, or if any Lender becomes a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without
recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if
a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received
payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and
fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.12 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.14, such
assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the
Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. 
 (c) Defaulting Lenders. If any Lender shall fail to
make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.04 or 9.03(c), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion and notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by the
Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender for the benefit of the Administrative Agent to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid, and/or (ii) hold any such
amounts in a segregated account as cash collateral for, and application to, any future funding obligations of such Lender under such Sections, in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii) above, in any order as determined by the
Administrative Agent in its discretion.

enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). 
 SECTION 3.03. Governmental Approvals; No

material respect under any indenture, agreement or other instrument binding upon the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or assets, or give rise to a right thereunder to require any payment to be made by any such Person, and (d) except for the
Liens created pursuant to the Security Documents, will not result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any asset of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries.

Financial Statements. The Borrower has heretofore delivered to the Lenders a final version, approved by the Board of Directors of the Borrower, of the consolidated statement of assets and liabilities and the related consolidated statements of
operations, changes in net assets and cash flows and related schedule of investments of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 and as of and for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2012. Such
financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position and results of operations and cash flows of the Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of such date and for such period in accordance with
GAAP, subject, in the case of unaudited financial statements, to year-end audit adjustments and the absence of footnotes. None of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries has any material contingent liabilities, material liabilities for taxes,
material unusual forward or material long-term commitments or material unrealized or anticipated losses from any unfavorable commitments not reflected in the financial statements referred to above.

proceedings by or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority now pending against or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened against or affecting the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (a) as to which there is a reasonable
possibility of an adverse determination and that, if adversely determined, could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect or (b) that involve this Agreement or the Transactions.

 SECTION 3.06. Compliance with Laws and Agreements. Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries is in compliance
with all laws, regulations and orders of any Governmental Authority applicable to it or its property and all indentures, agreements and other instruments binding upon it or its property, except where the failure to do so, individually or in the

expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
 SECTION 3.07. Taxes. Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries
has timely filed or has caused to be timely filed all material U.S. federal, state and local Tax returns that are required to be filed by it and all other material Tax returns that are required to be filed by it and has paid all Taxes for which it
is directly or indirectly liable and 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 any Taxes, fees or other charges
the amount or validity of which is 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 Borrower or its Subsidiaries, as the case may be.
The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of the Borrower and any of its Subsidiaries in respect of Taxes and other governmental charges are adequate. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has given or been requested to give a
waiver of the statute of limitations relating to the payment of any federal, state, local and foreign Taxes or other impositions, and no Tax lien has been filed with respect to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries. There is no proposed Tax

parties, and information of a general economic or general industry nature) which has been made available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or
delivered under any Loan Document, taken as a whole, will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein at the time made and taken as a whole (and
after giving effect to all written updates provided by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent for delivery to the Lenders from time to time) not misleading in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made; and 

  
 49 









 (b) All financial projections, pro forma financial information and other forward-looking
information which has been delivered to the Administrative Agent or any Lender by or on behalf of Borrower in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or delivered under any Loan Document are based upon good faith assumptions

to the Administrative Agent and each Lender prompt written notice of the following:

preserve, renew and keep in full force and effect its legal existence and the rights, licenses, permits, privileges and franchises material to the conduct of its business; provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit any merger,
consolidation, liquidation or dissolution permitted under Section 6.03. 

  
 58 









 SECTION 5.04. Payment of Obligations. The Borrower will, and will cause each of
its Subsidiaries to, pay its obligations, including tax liabilities and material contractual obligations, that, if not paid, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect before the same shall become delinquent or in default,
except where (a) the validity or amount thereof is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings, (b) the Borrower or such Subsidiary has set aside on its books adequate reserves with respect thereto in accordance with GAAP and
(c) the failure to make payment pending such contest could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
 SECTION 5.05. Maintenance of Properties; Insurance. The Borrower will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries (other than Immaterial Subsidiaries) to, (a) keep and maintain all property
material to the conduct of its business in good working order and condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted, and (b) maintain, with financially sound and reputable insurance companies, insurance in such amounts and against such risks as are
customarily maintained by companies engaged in the same or similar business, operating in the same or similar locations. 

SECTION 5.06. Books and Records; Inspection and Audit Rights. 

(a) Books and Records; Inspection Rights. The Borrower will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, keep books of record and
account in accordance with GAAP. The Borrower will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, permit any representatives designated by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, upon reasonable prior notice to the Borrower, to (i) visit and
inspect its properties, to examine and make extracts from its books and records, and (ii) discuss its affairs, finances and condition with its officers and independent accountants, all at such reasonable times and as often as reasonably
requested, provided that the Borrower or such Subsidiary shall be entitled to have its representatives and advisors present during any inspection of its books and records; provided, further, that the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders shall not conduct more than three such visits and inspections in any calendar year unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of any subsequent visits and inspections during such calendar year. 

(b) Audit Rights. The Borrower will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, permit any representatives designated by
Administrative Agent (including any consultants, accountants, lawyers and appraisers retained by the Administrative Agent) to conduct evaluations and appraisals of the Borrower’s computation of the Collateral Base and the assets included
in the Collateral Base (including, for clarity, audits of any Agency Accounts, funds transfers and custody procedures), all at such reasonable times and as often as reasonably requested. The Borrower shall pay the reasonable, documented fees and
expenses of representatives retained by the Administrative Agent to conduct any such evaluation or appraisal; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to pay such fees and expenses for more than one such evaluation or appraisal during
any calendar year unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of any subsequent evaluation or appraisal during such calendar year, and provided further that in no event shall the Borrower be required to pay
more than $100,000 in any calendar year for evaluations or appraisals requested by the Administrative Agent 

  
 59 









 
pursuant to this Section 5.06(b). The Borrower also agrees to modify or adjust the computation of the Collateral Base and/or the assets included in the Collateral Base, to the extent
required by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders as a result of any such evaluation or appraisal indicating that such computation or inclusion of assets is not consistent with the terms of this Agreement, provided that if the
Borrower demonstrates that such evaluation or appraisal is incorrect, the Borrower shall be permitted to re-adjust its computation of the Collateral Base. 
 SECTION 5.07. Compliance with Laws and Agreements. The Borrower will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, comply with all laws, rules, regulations, including the Investment Company Act
(if applicable to such Person), and orders of any Governmental Authority applicable to it (including orders issued by the SEC) or its property and all indentures, agreements and other instruments, except where the failure to do so, individually or
in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
 SECTION 5.08. Certain
Obligations Respecting Subsidiaries; Further Assurances. 
 (a) Subsidiary Guarantors. 

(i) In the event that (1) the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries shall form or acquire any new Subsidiary (other
than a Financing Subsidiary, a CFC or a Transparent Subsidiary), or that any other Person shall become a “Subsidiary” within the meaning of the definition thereof, (2) any Structured Subsidiary shall no longer constitute a
“Structured Subsidiary” pursuant to the definition thereof (in which case such Person shall be deemed to be a “new” Subsidiary for purposes of this Section 5.08); or (3) any SBIC Subsidiary shall no
longer constitute a “SBIC Subsidiary” pursuant to the definition thereof (in which case such Person shall be deemed to be a “new” Subsidiary for purposes of this Section 5.08), (4) any CFC shall no longer constitute
a “CFC” pursuant to the definition thereof (in which case such Person shall be deemed to be a “new” Subsidiary for purposes of this Section 5.08), or (5) any Transparent Subsidiary shall no longer constitute a
“Transparent Subsidiary” pursuant to the definition thereof (in which case such Person shall be deemed to be a “new” Subsidiary for purposes of this Section 5.08), the Borrower will, in each case, on or before thirty
(30) days following such Person becoming a Subsidiary or such Financing Subsidiary, CFC or Transparent Subsidiary, as the case may be, no longer qualifying as such, cause such new Subsidiary or former Financing Subsidiary, former CFC
or former Transparent Subsidiary, as the case may be, to become a “Subsidiary Guarantor” (and, thereby, an “Obligor”) under the Guarantee and Security Agreement pursuant to a Guarantee Assumption Agreement and to deliver such
proof of corporate or other action, incumbency of officers, opinions of counsel and other documents as the Administrative Agent shall have reasonably requested. 
 (ii) The Borrower acknowledges that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders have agreed to exclude each Structured Subsidiary as an Obligor only for so long as such Person qualifies as an
“Structured Subsidiary” pursuant to the definition thereof, and thereafter such Person shall no longer constitute an “Structured Subsidiary” for any purpose of this Agreement or any other Loan Document. 

(iii) The Borrower acknowledges that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders have agreed to exclude each SBIC Subsidiary
as an Obligor only for so long as such Person qualifies as an “SBIC Subsidiary” pursuant to the definition thereof, and thereafter such Person shall no longer constitute an “SBIC Subsidiary” for any purpose of this Agreement or
any other Loan Document. 

  
 60 









 (b) Ownership of Subsidiaries. The Borrower will, and will cause each of its
Subsidiaries to, take such action from time to time as shall be necessary to ensure that each of its Subsidiaries is a wholly owned Subsidiary. 
 (c) Further Assurances. The Borrower will, and will cause each of the Subsidiary Guarantors to, take such action from time to time as shall reasonably be requested by the Administrative Agent to
effectuate the purposes and objectives of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Borrower will, and will cause each of the Subsidiary Guarantors, to: 

(i) take such action from time to time (including filing appropriate Uniform Commercial Code financing statements and
executing and delivering such assignments, security agreements and other instruments) as shall be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent to create, in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Lenders (and any affiliate
thereof that is a party to any Hedging Agreement entered into with the Borrower), the holders of the Revolving Indebtedness and the holders of any Secured Longer-Term Indebtedness, pursuant to the Security Documents perfected security interests
and Liens in the Collateral; provided that any such security interest or Lien shall be subject to the relevant requirements of the Security Documents; 
 (ii) commencing no later than the date on which the Borrower delivers its first Borrowing Request to the Administrative Agent and at all times thereafter, with respect to each deposit account or
securities account of the Obligors (other than (A) any such accounts that are maintained by the Borrower in its capacity as “servicer” for a Financing Subsidiary or any Agency Account, (B) any such accounts which hold solely
money or financial assets of a Financing Subsidiary, (C) any payroll account so long as such payroll account is coded as such, (D) withholding tax and fiduciary accounts or any trust account maintained solely on behalf of a Portfolio
Investment, (E) checking accounts of the Obligors that do not contain, at any one time, an aggregate balance in excess of $1,000,000, provided that Borrower will, and will cause each of its Subsidiary Guarantors to, use commercially reasonable
efforts to obtain control agreements governing any such account in this clause (E), and (F) any account in which the aggregate value of deposits therein, together with all other such accounts under this clause (F), does not at
any time exceed $75,000, and (G) any account established to receive tax distributions from any Portfolio Investment (provided that all funds deposited in such account are promptly remitted to pay taxes of such Obligor; provided, further that
to the extent such account described under this clause (G) ceases to be an Excluded Account as a result of such account receiving a distribution from a Portfolio Investment, the Borrower shall have 30 days from the date such account ceases to
be an Excluded Account to either transfer the funds in such account to an account subject to a Control Agreement or to obtain a Control Agreement with respect to such account); provided that in the case of each of the


  
 61 









 
foregoing clauses (A) through (FG) (collectively, the “Excluded Accounts”), no other Person (other than the depository institution at which such account is
maintained) shall have “control” over such account), cause each bank or securities intermediary (within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code) to enter into such arrangements with the Collateral Agent as shall be
appropriate in order that the Collateral Agent has “control” (within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code) over each such deposit account or securities account (each, a “Control Account”) and in that connection, the
Borrower agrees, subject to Sections 5.08(c)(iv) and (v) below, to cause all cash and other proceeds of Portfolio Investments (other than tax distributions) received by any Obligor to be immediately deposited into a Control Account (or
otherwise delivered to, or registered in the name of, the Collateral Agent) and, both prior to and following such deposit, delivery or registration such cash and other proceeds shall be held in trust by the Borrower for and as the property of
the Collateral Agent and shall not be commingled with any other funds or property of such Obligor or any other Person (including with any money or financial assets of the Borrower in its capacity as “servicer” for a Structured Subsidiary,
or any money or financial assets of a Structured Subsidiary, or any money or financial assets of the Borrower in its capacity as “agent” for any other Bank Loans subject to Section 5.08(c)(v) below); 

(iii) cause the Financing Subsidiaries to execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent such certificates and
agreements, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, as it shall determine are necessary to confirm that such Financing Subsidiary qualifies or continues to qualify as a “Structured Subsidiary” or an
“SBIC Subsidiary”, as applicable, pursuant to the definitions thereof; 
 (iv) in the case of any
Portfolio Investment consisting of a Bank Loan (as defined in Section 5.13) that is not a Noteless Assigned Loan that does not constitute all of the credit extended to the underlying borrower under the relevant underlying loan documents
and a Financing Subsidiary holds any interest in the loans or other extensions of credit under such loan documents, (x)(1) cause the interest owned by such Financing Subsidiary to be evidenced by a separate note or notes which note or notes are
either (A) in the name of such Financing Subsidiary or (B) in the name of the Borrower, endorsed in blank and delivered to the applicable Financing Subsidiary and beneficially owned by the Financing Subsidiary and (2) not permit such
Financing Subsidiary to have a participation acquired from an Obligor in such underlying loan documents and the extensions of credit thereunder or any other indirect interest therein acquired from an Obligor; and (y) ensure that, subject to
Section 5.08(c)(v) below, all amounts owing to any Obligor by the underlying borrower or other obligated party are remitted by such borrower or obligated party (or the applicable administrative agents, collateral agents or equivalent Person)
directly to the Custodian Account and no other amounts owing by such underlying borrower or obligated party are remitted to the Custodian Account; 
 (v) in the event that any Obligor is acting as an agent or administrative agent under any loan documents with respect to any Bank Loan and such Obligor does not hold all of the credit extended to the
underlying borrower under the relevant underlying loan documents, ensure that (1) all funds held by such Obligor in such capacity as agent or administrative agent is segregated from all other funds of such Obligor and clearly 

  
 62 









 
identified as being held in an agency capacity (an “Agency Account”); (2) all amounts owing on account of such Bank Loan by the underlying borrower or other obligated party
are remitted by such borrower or obligated party to either (A) such Agency Account or (B) directly to an account in the name of the underlying lender to whom such amounts are owed (for the avoidance of doubt, no funds representing amounts
owing to more than one underlying lender may be remitted to any single account other than the Agency Account); and (3) within two (2) Business Days after receipt of such funds, such Obligor acting in its capacity as agent or administrative
agent shall distribute any such funds belonging to any Obligor to the Custodian Account (provided that if any distribution referred to in this clause (c) is not permitted by applicable bankruptcy law to be made within such two-Business Day
period as a result of the bankruptcy of the underlying borrower, such Obligor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain permission to make such distribution and shall make such distribution as soon as legally permitted to do so);

 (vi) except as otherwise set forth in clause Section 5.08(c)(iv) above, cause all Portfolio Investments
held by an Obligor that are Bank Loans (other than any Noteless Assigned Loan) to be evidenced by promissory notes in the name of such Obligor, cause such Obligor to be party to the underlying loan documents as a “lender” having a
direct interest (or a participation not acquired from an Affiliate) in such underlying loan documents and the extensions of credit thereunder, and cause all such underlying loan and other documents relating to any such Portfolio Investment
(including, without limitation, such promissory notes that are owned by an Obligor) to be held by (x) the Collateral Agent or (y) the Custodian pursuant to the terms of a Custodian Agreement and, unless delivered to the Collateral Agent,
such Bank Loan shall be credited to the Custodian Account; provided that Borrower’s obligation to deliver underlying documentation (other than promissory notes, which must be delivered in the original) may be satisfied by delivery of
copies of such underlying documentation; and 
 (vii) in the case of any Portfolio Investment held by any
Financing Subsidiary, including any cash collection related thereto, ensure that such Portfolio Investment shall not be held in any Custodian Account, or any other account of any Obligor. 
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if any instrument, promissory note, agreement, document or certificate held by the Custodian is destroyed or lost not as a result of any
action of the Borrower, then any original of such instrument, promissory note, agreement, document or certificate shall be deemed held by the Custodian for all purposes hereunder, provided that, when the Borrower has actual knowledge of any such
destroyed or lost instrument, promissory note, agreement, document or certificate, it uses all commercially reasonable efforts to obtain from the underlying borrower, and deliver to the Custodian, a replacement instrument, promissory note,
agreement, document or certificate. 
 SECTION 5.09. Use of Proceeds. The Borrower will use the proceeds of the
Loans only for general corporate purposes of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business, including repayment of the Revolving Indebtedness, making distributions not prohibited by this Agreement and the acquisition and
funding (either directly or through one or more wholly-owned Subsidiary Guarantors) of leveraged loans, mezzanine loans, high-yield securities, convertible securities, preferred stock, common stock and other Investments; provided

  

  
 63 









 
that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any responsibility as to the use of any of such proceeds. No part of the proceeds of any Loan will be used in violation of
applicable law or, directly or indirectly, for the purpose, whether immediate, incidental or ultimate, of buying or carrying any Margin Stock. On the first day (if any) an Obligor acquires any Margin Stock or at any other time requested by the
Administrative Agent or any Lender, the Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent and each Lender a statement to the foregoing effect in conformity with the requirements of FR Form G-3 or FR Form U-1, as applicable, referred to in
Regulation U. Margin Stock shall be purchased by the Obligors only with the proceeds of Indebtedness not directly or indirectly secured by Margin Stock (within the meaning of Regulation U), or with the proceeds of equity capital of the
Borrower. 
 SECTION 5.10. Status of RIC and BDC. The Borrower shall at all times maintain its status as a RIC under
the Code, and as a “business development company” under the Investment Company Act. 
 SECTION 5.11.
Investment Policies. The Borrower shall at all times be in compliance in all material respects with its Investment Policies. 
 SECTION 5.12. Portfolio Valuation and Diversification Etc.; Risk Factor Ratings; 
 (a) Industry Classification Groups. For purposes of this Agreement, the Borrower shall assign each Eligible Portfolio Investment to an Industry Classification Group as reasonably determined by the
Borrower. To the extent that any Eligible Portfolio Investment is not correlated with the risks of other Eligible Portfolio Investments in an Industry Classification Group, such Eligible Portfolio Investment may be assigned by the Borrower to an
Industry Classification Group that is more closely correlated to such Eligible Portfolio Investment. In the absence of any correlation, the Borrower shall be permitted, upon notice to the Administrative Agent for distribution to each Lender, to
create up to three additional industry classification groups for purposes of this Agreement. 
 (b) Portfolio Valuation
Etc. 
 (i) Settlement Date Basis. For purposes of this Agreement, all determinations of whether an
investment is to be included as an Eligible Portfolio Investment shall be determined on a settlement-date basis (meaning that any investment that has been purchased will not be treated as an Eligible Portfolio Investment until such purchase has
settled, and any Eligible Portfolio Investment which has been sold will not be excluded as an Eligible Portfolio Investment until such sale has settled), provided that no such investment shall be included as an Eligible Portfolio Investment to the
extent it has not been paid for in full. 
 (ii) Determination of Values. The Borrower will conduct
reviews of the value to be assigned to each of its Eligible Portfolio Investments as follows: 

  
 64 









 (A) Quoted Investments External Review. With respect to Eligible
Portfolio Investments (including Cash Equivalents) for which market quotations are readily available and are reflective of an actual trade executed within a reasonable period of such quotation (“Quoted Investments”), the
Borrower shall, not less frequently than once each calendar week, determine the market value of such Quoted Investments which shall, in each case, be determined in accordance with one of the following methodologies as selected by the Borrower (each
such value, an “External Quoted Value”): 
 (w) in the case of public and 144A securities, the
average of the bid prices as determined by two Approved Dealers selected by the Borrower, 
 (x) in the case of
bank loans, the average of the bid prices as determined by two Approved Dealers selected by the Borrower, 
 (y)
in the case of any Quoted Investment traded on an exchange, the closing price for such Eligible Portfolio Investment most recently posted on such exchange, and 
 (z) in the case of any other Quoted Investment, the fair market value thereof as determined by an Approved Pricing Service; and. 

(B) Unquoted Investments External Review. With respect to Eligible Portfolio Investments for which market
quotations are not readily available (“Unquoted Investments”), the Borrower shall request an Approved Third-Party Appraiser to assist the Board of Directors of the Borrower in determining the fair market value of such Unquoted
Investments, as at the last day of each fiscal quarter following the Effective Date (each such value, an “External Unquoted Value”) and to provide the Board of Directors with a written valuation report as part of that assistance
each quarter. 
 (C) Internal Review. The Borrower shall conduct internal reviews to determine the value
of all Eligible Portfolio Investments at least once each calendar week which shall take into account any events of which the Borrower has knowledge that adversely affect the value of any Eligible Portfolio Investment (each such value, an
“Internal Value”). 
 (D) Value of Quoted Investments. Subject to clauses (G) and
(H) of this Section 5.12(b)(ii), the “Value” of each Quoted Investment for all purposes of this Agreement shall be the lower of the Internal Value of such Quoted Investment as most recently determined by the Borrower pursuant to
Section 5.12(b)(ii)(C) and the External Quoted Value of such Quoted Investment as most recently determined pursuant to Section 5.12(b)(ii)(A). 
 (E) Value of Unquoted Investments. Subject to clauses (G) and (H) of this Section 5.12(b)(ii), 

  
 65 









 (I) if the Internal Value of any Unquoted Investment as most recently
determined by the Borrower pursuant to Section 5.12(b)(ii)(C) falls below the range of the External Unquoted Value of such Unquoted Investment as most recently determined pursuant to Section 5.12(b)(ii)(B), then the “Value” of
such Unquoted Investment for all purposes of this Agreement shall be deemed to be the Internal Value; 
 (II) if
the Internal Value of any Unquoted Investment as most recently determined by the Borrower pursuant to Section 5.12(b)(ii)(C) falls above the range of the External Unquoted Value of such Unquoted Investment as most recently determined pursuant
to Section 5.12(b)(ii)(B), then the “Value” of such Unquoted Investment for all purposes of this Agreement shall be deemed to be the midpoint of the range of the External Unquoted Value; and, 

(III) if the Internal Value of any Unquoted Investment as most recently determined by the Borrower pursuant to
Section 5.12(b)(ii)(C) is within the range of the External Unquoted Value of such Unquoted Investment as most recently determined pursuant to Section 5.12(b)(ii)(B), then the “Value” of such Unquoted Investment for all purposes
of this Agreement shall be deemed to be the Internal Value; 
 except that: 

(x) if the difference between the highest and lowest External Unquoted Value in such range exceeds an amount equal to 6%
of the midpoint of such range, the “Value” of such Unquoted Investment shall instead be deemed to be the lower of the lowest External Unquoted Value in such range and the Internal Value determined pursuant to Section 5.12(b)(ii)(C);
and 
 (y) [Intentionally Omitted] 

(z) the “Value” of any Unquoted Investment acquired during a fiscal quarter shall be deemed to be equal to the
lower of the cost of such Unquoted Investment and the Internal Value of such Unquoted Investment until such time as the External Unquoted Value of such Unquoted Investment is determined in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this sub-clause
(B) as at the last day of such fiscal quarter. 
 (F) Actions Upon a Collateral Base Deficiency. If,
based upon such weekly internal review, the Borrower determines that a Collateral Base Deficiency exists, then the Borrower shall, promptly and in any event within two Business Days as provided in Section 5.01(e), deliver a Collateral Base
Certificate reflecting the new amount of the Collateral Base and shall take the actions, and make the payments and prepayments (if any), all as more specifically set forth in Section 2.08(b).

 66 









 (H) Adjustment of Values. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, the Administrative Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion exercised in good faith, may, and upon the request of Required Lenders, shall, reduce the Value of any Eligible Portfolio Investment (in which case the “Value” of such
Eligible Portfolio Investment shall for all purposes hereof be deemed to be the Value assigned by the Administrative Agent) and/or exclude any Eligible Portfolio Investment from the Collateral Base entirely (the “Revalue Right”);
provided that the exercise of the Administrative Agent’s Revalue Right shall not result in more than a Revalue Percent aggregate reduction in the Collateral Base in any fiscal quarter. Any such revision or exclusion shall be effective
ten Business Days after the Administrative Agent’s delivery of notice thereof to the Borrower. At the option of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Base shall be adjusted in the same manner (to the extent reasonably practicable) that the

Eligible Portfolio Investments) exceeds 2950, the Collateral Base shall be reduced by removing Eligible Portfolio Investments therefrom (but not from the Collateral) to the extent necessary to cause the weighted average Risk Factor of all Eligible

maturity of all debt Eligible Portfolio Investments included in the Collateral Base to be no greater than 5.5 years (subject to all other constraints, limitations and restrictions set forth herein); 

(j) the portion of the Collateral Base attributable to Eligible Portfolio Investments that are debt investments with a
maturity greater than 7 years shall not exceed 15% of the Collateral Base and the Collateral Base shall be reduced to the extent such portion would otherwise exceed 15% of the Collateral Base;

 (a)
any of the provisions of any agreement, instrument or other document evidencing or relating to Secured Longer-Term Indebtedness, Unsecured Longer-Term Indebtedness or Unsecured Shorter-Term Indebtedness that would result in such Indebtedness not
meeting the requirements of the definition of “Secured Longer-Term Indebtedness”, “Unsecured Longer-Term Indebtedness” or “Unsecured Shorter-Term Indebtedness”, as applicable, set forth in Section 1.01 of this
Agreement, unless, in the case of Unsecured Longer-Term Indebtedness, such Indebtedness would have been permitted to be incurred as Unsecured Shorter-Term Indebtedness at the time of such modification, supplement or waiver and the Borrower so

in each case to the extent not required under the Revolving Credit Facility to be used to prepay Revolving Loans), except for (a) regularly scheduled payments, prepayments or redemptions of principal and interest in respect thereof required

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. 
 SECTION 8.02. Capacity as 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 such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof
as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder. 
 SECTION 8.03. Limitation of Duties; Exculpation. 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, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any
fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary
rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing by the Required Lenders, and (c) except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan
Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the
bank serving as 

  
 86 









 
Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the
Required Lenders or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by the
Borrower or a Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document,

Article IV or elsewhere herein or therein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent. 
 SECTION 8.04. Reliance. 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 or sent by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent
also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel, 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.

or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The
exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs 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 8.06. Resignation;
Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of the Borrower not to be
unreasonably withheld (provided that no such consent shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such
appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nonetheless become effective and (1) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be
discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and (2) the Required Lenders shall perform the duties of the Administrative Agent (and all payments and communications provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall
instead be 

  
 87 









 
made by or to each Lender directly) until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above in this paragraph. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as
Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be
discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this paragraph). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its
predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect
of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Administrative Agent. 
 SECTION 8.07. Reliance by
Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and
decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it 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 8.08. Modifications to Loan Documents. Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.02(b) or 9.02(c) with
respect to this Agreement, the Administrative Agent may, with the prior consent of the Required Lenders (but not otherwise), consent to any modification, supplement or waiver under any of the Loan Documents; provided that, without the prior
consent of each Lender, the Administrative Agent shall not (except as provided herein or in the Security Documents) release all or substantially all of the Collateral or otherwise terminate all or substantially all of the Liens under any
Security Document providing for collateral security, agree to additional obligations being secured by all or substantially all of such collateral security, or alter the relative priorities of the obligations entitled to the benefits of the Liens
created under the Security Documents with respect to all or substantially all of the Collateral, except that no such consent shall be required, and the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized, to release any Lien covering property that is the
subject of either a disposition of property permitted hereunder or a disposition to which the Required Lenders have consented.

 (iii) if to any other Lender, to it at its address (or telecopy number) set forth in its Administrative
Questionnaire. 
 Any party hereto may change its address or telecopy number for notices and other communications hereunder by
notice to the other parties hereto. All notices and other communications given to any party hereto in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been given on the date of receipt. Notices delivered through electronic
communications to the extent provided in paragraph (b) below, shall be effective as provided in said paragraph (b). 
 (b)
Electronic Communications. Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including e-mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the
Administrative Agent; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender pursuant to Section 2.04 if such Lender has notified the Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Article by
electronic communication. The Administrative Agent or the Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that
approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications. 
 Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise
prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function,
as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement); provided that if such notice or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent
at the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient, and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address
as described in the foregoing clause (i) of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor. 
 (c) Documents to be Delivered under Sections 5.01 and 5.12(a). For so long as a DebtdomainTM or equivalent website is available to each of the Lenders hereunder, the Borrower may satisfy
its obligation to deliver documents to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders under Sections 5.01 and 5.12(a) by delivering one hard copy thereof to the Administrative Agent and either an electronic copy or a notice identifying the
website where such information is located for posting by the Administrative Agent on DebtdomainTM or such equivalent website, provided that the Administrative Agent shall have no responsibility to maintain access to DebtdomainTM or an
equivalent website.

 SECTION 9.02. Waivers; Amendments. 

(a) No Deemed Waivers Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right
or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof
or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of
this Agreement or consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific
instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice
or knowledge of such Default at the time. 
 (b) Amendments to this Agreement. Neither this Agreement nor any provision
hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders or by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders;
provided that, subject to Section 2.16, no such agreement shall 
 (i) increase the obligation of
any Lender to provide Loans hereunder without the written consent of such Lender, 
 (ii) reduce the principal
amount of any Loan or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, 
 (iii) postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan, or any interest thereon, or any fees payable to a Lender hereunder, or reduce the amount or waive or excuse any such
payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any obligation to provide Loans hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, 
 (iv) change Section 2.15(b), (c) or (d) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments, or making of disbursements, required thereby without the written consent of each
Lender affected thereby, or 
 (v) change any of the provisions of this Section or the percentage in the
definition of the term “Required Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder,
without the written consent of each Lender; 

  
 91 









 provided further that (x) no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights
or duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, and (y) the consent of Lenders holding not less than two-thirds of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans will be
required for (A) any change adverse to the Lenders affecting the provisions of this Agreement relating to the Collateral Base (including the definitions used therein), or the provisions of Section 5.12(b)(ii), and (B) any release
of any material portion of the Collateral other than for fair value or as otherwise permitted hereunder or under the other Loan Documents. 
 (c) Amendments to Security Documents. No Security Document nor any provision thereof may be waived, amended or modified except to the extent otherwise expressly contemplated by the Guaranty
and Security Agreement, and the Liens granted under the Guaranty and Security Agreement may not be spread to secure any additional obligations (including any increase in Loans hereunder and in Revolving Loans under the Revolving Credit Facility, but
excluding any such increase pursuant to (x) a Term Loan Increase under Section 2.06(f) and/or (y) a “Commitment Increase” permitted under the Revolving Credit Facility to an amount such that immediately after giving
effect to such increase(s), the sum of (i) the total Revolving Commitments of all of the Revolving Lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility and (ii) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans as of the Term Loan Increase
Date is not greater than $225,000,000 (400,000,000 or such other greater amount as permitted under Section 2.06(f)(i)(B) of the Revolving Credit Facility)) except to the extent otherwise
contemplated by the Guaranty and Security Agreement (or pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower, and by the Collateral Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders); provided that, subject to
Section 2.16, (i) without the written consent of the holders of not less than two-thirds of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans, no waiver, amendment or modification to the Guaranty and Security Agreement shall
(A) release any Obligor representing more than 10% of the Stockholder’s Equity of the Borrower from its obligations under the Security Documents, (B) release any guarantor representing more than 10% of the Stockholder’s Equity of
the Borrower under the Guarantee and Security Agreement from its guarantee obligations thereunder, or (C) amend the definition of “Collateral” under the Security Documents (except to add additional collateral) and (ii) without
the written consent of each Lender, no such agreement shall (W) release all or substantially all of the Obligors from their respective obligations under the Security Documents, (X) release all or substantially all of the collateral
security or otherwise terminate all or substantially all of the Liens under the Security Documents, (Y) release all or substantially all of the guarantors under the Guarantee and Security Agreement from their guarantee obligations thereunder,
or (Z) alter the relative priorities of the obligations entitled to the Liens created under the Security Documents (except in connection with securing additional obligations equally and ratably with the Loans and other obligations
hereunder) with respect to the collateral security provided thereby; except that no such consent described in clause (i) or (ii) above shall be required, and the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized (and so agrees with the
Borrower) to direct the Collateral Agent under the Guarantee and Security Agreement, to release any Lien covering property (and to release any such guarantor) that is the subject of either a disposition of property permitted hereunder or a
disposition to which the Required Lenders have consented, or otherwise in accordance with Section 9.15. 

  
 92 









 (d) Replacement of Non-Consenting Lender. If, in connection with any proposed
amendment, waiver or consent requiring (i) the consent of “each Lender” or “each Lender affected thereby,” or (ii) the consent of “two-thirds of the holders of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the
Loans”, the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained, but the consent of other necessary Lenders is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is necessary but not obtained being referred to herein as a “Non-Consenting
Lender”), then the Borrower shall have the right, at its sole cost and expense, to replace each such Non-Consenting Lender or Lenders with one or more replacement Lenders pursuant to Section 2.17(b) so long as at the time of such
replacement, each such replacement Lender consents to the proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination. 

SECTION 9.03. Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver. 
 (a) Costs and Expenses. The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable documented and out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and their
Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of up to one counsel for the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent collectively (other than the allocated costs of internal counsel), in connection with the syndication of
the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation and administration (other than internal overhead charges) of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof
(whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, including the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements
of any counsel for the Administrative Agent or any Lender, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section, or in connection with
the Loans made, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect thereof and (iii) and all reasonable out-of-pocket costs, expenses, taxes, assessments and other charges incurred in
connection with any filing, registration, recording or perfection of any security interest contemplated by any Security Document or any other document referred to therein. 
 (b) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an
“Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (other than Taxes or Other Taxes which shall only be indemnified by the Borrower to the extent
provided in Section 2.14), including the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee (other than the allocated costs of internal counsel), incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising
out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or the
consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan or the 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 and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims,
damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Indemnitee. 

  
 93 









 The Borrower shall not be liable to any Indemnitee for any special, indirect, consequential
or punitive damages arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of the Transactions asserted by an Indemnitee against the Borrower or any other Obligor, provided that the foregoing limitation shall not be deemed to impair or affect the
Obligations of the Borrower under the preceding provisions of this subsection. 
 (c) Reimbursement by Lenders. To the
extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section (and without limiting its obligation to do so), each Lender severally agrees to pay to the
Administrative Agent, as the case may be, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed
expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such. 

(d) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby
waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of; this Agreement or any
agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof. 
 (e)
Payments. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly after written demand therefor. 

SECTION 9.04. Successors and Assigns. 
 (a) Assignments Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except
that (i) the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null
and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other
than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or
claim under or by reason of this Agreement. 
 (b) Assignments by Lenders. 

(i) Assignments Generally. Subject to the conditions set forth in clause (ii) below, any Lender may assign to
one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed) of: 

  
 94 









 (A) the Borrower, provided that (i) no consent of the Borrower
shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee, and (ii) the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it
shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received written notice thereof; and 
 (B) the Administrative Agent, provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment by a Lender to an Affiliate of a Lender with prior written notice by such
Lender to the Administrative Agent. 
 (ii) Certain Conditions to Assignments. Assignments shall be
subject to the following additional conditions: 
 (A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an
Affiliate of a Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s obligation to make any Loan or funded Loans, the amount of the obligation or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment
(determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than U.S. $1,000,000 unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent;
provided that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; 
 (B) each partial assignment of an obligation to make any Loans or funded Loans shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this
Agreement in respect of such Loans; 
 (C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the
Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto, together with a processing and recordation fee of U.S. $3,500 (which fee shall not be payable in connection with an assignment to a Lender
or to an Affiliate of a Lender), for which the Borrower and the Guarantors shall not be obligated (except in the case of an assignment pursuant to Section 2.17(b)); and 

(D) the assignee, if it shall not already be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative
Questionnaire. 
 (iii) Effectiveness of Assignments. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof
pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and
Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and 

  
 95 









 
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 2.12, 2.13, 2.14 and 9.03 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 Section 9.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and
obligations in accordance with paragraph (ef) of this Section. 
 (c) Maintenance of Registers
by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in New York City 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 obligations to make Loans, principal amount and “stated interest” for tax purposes of the Loans owing to each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the
“Registers” and each individually, a “Register”). The entries in the Registers shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the
Registers pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Registers shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from
time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 
 (d) Acceptance of Assignments by Administrative Agent. Upon its receipt of a
duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee
referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information
contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph. 
 (e) Special Purposes Vehicles. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an
“SPC”) owned or administered by such Granting Lender, identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, the option to provide all or any part of any Loan that such
Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment to make any Loan by any SPC, (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or
any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall, subject to the terms of this Agreement, make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof, (iii) the rights of any such SPC shall be derivative of the rights of the Granting Lender, and such SPC shall
be subject to all of the restrictions upon the Granting Lender herein contained, and (iv) no SPC shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12 (or any other increased costs protection provision), 2.13 or 2.14. Each SPC shall be
conclusively presumed to have made arrangements with its Granting Lender for the exercise of voting and other rights hereunder in a manner which is acceptable to the SPC, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower, and each of the
Administrative Agent, the 

  
 96 









 
Lenders and the Obligors shall be entitled to rely upon and deal solely with the Granting Lender with respect to Loans made by or through its SPC. The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall
utilize the obligation of the Granting Lender to provide Loans hereunder to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by the Granting Lender. 
 Each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding
senior indebtedness of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, such SPC, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or similar proceedings under the laws of the
United States or any State thereof, in respect of claims arising out of this Agreement; provided that the Granting Lender for each SPC hereby agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless each other party hereto for any loss, cost, damage and
expense arising out of their inability to institute any such proceeding against its SPC. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section, any SPC may (i) without the prior written consent of the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to its Granting Lender or to any financial institutions providing liquidity and/or credit facilities to or for the account of
such SPC to fund the Loans made by such SPC or to support the securities (if any) issued by such SPC to fund such Loans (but nothing contained herein shall be construed in derogation of the obligation of the Granting Lender to make Loans
hereunder); provided that neither the consent of the SPC or of any such assignee shall be required for amendments or waivers hereunder except for those amendments or waivers for which the consent of participants is required under paragraph
(1) below, and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis (in the same manner described in Section 9.13(b)) any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of a surety,
guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC. 
 (f) Participations. Any Lender may, with the consent of the
Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including all or a portion of its obligations to make Loans and funded Loans owing to it); provided that (i) the consent of the Borrower shall not be required (A) for any assignment
to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender, or (B) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (ii) the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within
five (5) Business Days after receiving notice thereof, (iii) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, (iv) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other
parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (v) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 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 the other Loan Documents
and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant,
agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (g) of this Section, 

  
 97 









 
the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12, 2.13 and 2.14 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by
assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to
Section 2.15(d) as though it were a Lender hereunder. 
 (g) Limitations on Rights of Participants. A
Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.12 or 2.13 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 2.14 unless the Borrower is notified of
the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 2.14(e) as though it were a Lender. 
 (h) 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 to secure obligations of such Lender, including any
such pledge or assignment to a Federal Reserve Bank or any other central bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest
shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. 

(i) No Assignments to the Borrower or Affiliates. Anything in this Section to the contrary notwithstanding, no Lender may
assign or participate any interest in any Loan held by it hereunder to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates or Subsidiaries without the prior consent of each Lender. 
 SECTION 9.05. Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or
pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any Loans, regardless of any investigation made by any such other
party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full
force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid. The provisions of Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.14 and 9.03 and Article VIII
shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof. 

SECTION 9.06. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; Electronic Execution. 

(a) Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on
different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the


  
 98 









 
Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract between and 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. This Agreement shall become effective when provided in Section 4.01, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and
assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by telecopy or electronic mail 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. 

SECTION 9.07. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction
shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular
provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
 SECTION 9.08.
Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and
all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Obligor against any of and all the
obligations of any Obligor now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of
each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have. 
 SECTION 9.09. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Etc. 
 (a) Governing
Law. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York. 
 (b)
Submission to Jurisdiction. The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the
United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each
of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court.


  
 99 









 
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 shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement against the Borrower or its properties in the courts
of any jurisdiction. 
 (c) Waiver of Venue. The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest
extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of
this Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court. 

(d) Service of Process. Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices
in Section 9.01. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. 
 SECTION 9.10. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING
DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY
OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO
THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION. 
 SECTION 9.11. Judgment
Currency. This is a loan transaction in which the specification of Dollars and payment in New York City is of the essence, and Dollars shall be the currency of account in all events relating to Loans. The payment obligations of the Borrower
under this Agreement shall not be discharged or satisfied by an amount paid in another currency or in another place, whether pursuant to a judgment or otherwise, to the extent that the amount so paid on conversion to Dollars and transfer to
New York City under normal banking procedures does not yield the amount of Dollars in New York City due hereunder. If for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder into another currency
(the “Other Currency”), the rate of exchange that shall be applied shall be the rate at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase Dollars with the Other Currency on the Business Day
next preceding the day on which such judgment is rendered. The obligation of the Borrower in respect of any such sum due from it to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Document (in this Section called an
“Entitled Person”) shall, notwithstanding the rate of exchange actually applied in rendering such judgment, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Entitled Person of any sum adjudged
to be due hereunder in the Other Currency 

  
 100









 
such Entitled Person may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase and transfer Dollars to New York City with the amount of the Other Currency so adjudged to be due; and the
Borrower hereby, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, agrees to indemnify such Entitled Person against, and to pay such Entitled Person on demand, in Dollars, the amount (if any) by which the sum originally due to
such Entitled Person in Dollars hereunder exceeds the amount of Dollars so purchased and transferred. 
 SECTION 9.12.
Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in
interpreting, this Agreement. 
 SECTION 9.13. Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality. 

(a) Treatment of Certain Information. The Borrower acknowledges that from time to time financial advisory, investment banking and
other services may be offered or provided to the Borrower or one or more of its Subsidiaries (in connection with this Agreement or otherwise) by any Lender or by one or more subsidiaries or affiliates of such Lender and the Borrower hereby
authorizes each Lender to share any information delivered to such Lender by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries pursuant to this Agreement, or in connection with the decision of such Lender to enter into this Agreement, to any such subsidiary or
affiliate, it being understood that any such subsidiary or affiliate receiving such information shall be bound by the provisions of paragraph (b) of this Section as if it were a Lender hereunder. Such authorization shall survive the
repayment of the Loans or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof. 
 (b) Confidentiality. Each of the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners,
directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and other representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information
confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority), (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 Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in,
any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations, (g) to any lender under the
Revolving Credit Facility and the administrative agent and collateral agent for such lenders (subject, in each case, to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section (which may include the Revolving Credit
Facility if it contains confidentiality provisions substantially the same as those of this Section)), (h) with the consent of the Borrower, (i) on a confidential basis to (i) any rating agency in connection with rating the 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 

  
 101









 
to the Loans, (j) 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, any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower, or (k) in connection with the Lenders’ right to grant security interest pursuant to
Section 9.04(h) to the Federal Reserve Bank or any other central bank, or subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to any other pledgee or assignee pursuant to Section 9.04(h).

 For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries after the Effective Date, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any
Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of
such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. 
 SECTION 9.14. USA PATRIOT Act.
Each Lender hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the
Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrower in accordance with said Act. 

SECTION 9.15. Termination. Promptly upon the Termination Date, the Administrative Agent shall direct the Collateral Agent to,
on behalf of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders, deliver to Borrower such termination statements and releases and other documents necessary or appropriate to evidence the termination of this Agreement, the Loan Documents,
and each of the documents securing the obligations hereunder as the Borrower may reasonably request, all at the sole cost and expense of the Borrower.
