 NOW, THEREFORE, upon the full and complete satisfaction of the
conditions precedent to the effectiveness of this First Amendment set forth in Section 3.1 hereof, and in consideration of good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Company, the Parent
Company and the Noteholders do hereby agree as follows: 
  
 SECTION
1. AMENDMENTS. 
  
 Section 1.1. The
following shall be added as a new Section 1.4 of the Note Purchase Agreements: 
  
 Section 1.4. Changes in Interest Rate. (a) From and including the First Amendment Effective Date to and until the date on which the
outstanding principal amount of the Notes has been paid in full, the interest rate on the Notes shall be increased by 25 basis points (0.25%) to 6.02% per annum. 
  
 (b) (1) In addition to the adjustment in the foregoing paragraph (a), if as of March 15 or September 15 of

to and until the Interest Rate Adjustment Date immediately following the date on which the Company obtains from at least one Rating Agency a Note Investment Grade Rating, the Notes shall bear interest at the Adjusted Interest Rate; provided
that, the failure of the Company to receive and deliver to the holders of the Notes a rating pursuant to Section 9.9 shall be deemed a rating less than the Note Investment Grade Rating. If after such date the Company fails to maintain
from such Rating Agency such Note Investment Grade Rating in respect of the Notes the adjustments set forth in this Section 1.4(b) shall again apply. 
  
 (2) The Company shall during the period from and including March 15 to and including March 20 and during the period from and including

thereof. 
  
 (c) Each holder of a Note shall, at
the Company’s expense, use reasonable efforts to cooperate with any reasonable request made by the Company in connection with any rating appeal or application. 
  
 (d) The fees and expenses of the Rating Agency and all other costs incurred in connection with obtaining or
appealing a rating of the Notes pursuant to this Section 1.4 shall be borne by the Company.

 2.1 Revolving Credit Commitments. 
  
 Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and relying upon the representations and warranties herein set forth, each Lender severally agrees to make Revolving Credit Loans to the Borrower at any time or from time to

Lender’s Ratable Share of the Letters of Credit Outstanding. Within such limits of time and amount and subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, the Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow pursuant to this Section 2.1. 
  
 2.2 Nature of Lenders’ Obligations with Respect to Revolving Credit
Loans.

never exceed its Revolving Credit Commitment minus its Ratable Share of the Letters of Credit Outstanding. The obligations of each Lender hereunder are several. The failure of any Lender to perform its obligations hereunder shall not affect the

delivering to the Agent, not later than 11:00 a.m., Pittsburgh time, (i) three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed Borrowing Date with respect to the making of Revolving Credit Loans to which the Euro-Rate Option applies or the conversion to or

Period with respect to the conversion to the Base Rate Option for any Loan, of a duly completed request therefor substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.5 or a request by telephone immediately confirmed in writing by letter, facsimile or telex
in such form (each, a “Loan Request”), it being understood that the Agent may rely on the authority of any individual making such a telephonic request without the necessity of receipt of such written confirmation. Each Loan Request shall
be irrevocable and shall specify (i) the proposed Borrowing Date; (ii) the aggregate amount of the proposed Loans comprising each Borrowing Tranche, which shall be in integral multiples of $1,000,000 and not less than $3,000,000 for each Borrowing
Tranche to which the Euro-Rate Option applies and not less than the lesser of $100,000 or the maximum amount available for Borrowing Tranches to which the Base Rate Option applies; (iii) whether the Euro-Rate Option or Base Rate Option shall apply
to the proposed Loans comprising the applicable Borrowing Tranche; and (iv) in the case of a Borrowing Tranche to which the Euro-Rate Option applies, an appropriate Interest Period for the Loans comprising such Borrowing Tranche. 
  
 2.6 Making Revolving Credit Loans. 
  
 The Agent shall, promptly after receipt by it of a Loan Request pursuant to
Section 2.5 [Revolving Credit Loan Requests], notify the Lenders of its receipt of such Loan Request specifying: (i) the proposed Borrowing Date and the time and method of disbursement of the Revolving Credit Loans requested thereby; (ii) the amount
and type of each such 
  

 25 

 Revolving Credit Loan and the applicable Interest Period (if any); and (iii) the apportionment among the Lenders of such
Revolving Credit Loans as determined by the Agent in accordance with Section 2.2 [Nature of Lenders’ Obligations]. Each Lender shall remit the principal amount of each Revolving Credit Loan to the Agent such that the Agent is able to, and the
Agent shall, to the extent the Lenders have made funds available to it for such purpose and subject to Section 7.2 [Each Additional Loan], fund such Revolving Credit Loans to the Borrower in U.S. Dollars and immediately available funds at the
Principal Office prior to 2:00 p.m., Pittsburgh time, on the applicable Borrowing Date, provided that if any Lender fails to remit such funds to the Agent in a timely manner, the Agent may elect in its sole discretion to fund with its own
funds the Revolving Credit Loans of such Lender on such Borrowing Date, and such Lender shall be subject to the repayment obligation in Section 10.16 [Availability of Funds]. 
  
 2.7 Revolving Credit Notes. 
  

The Obligation of the Borrower to repay the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans made to it by each Lender, together with
interest thereon, shall be evidenced by a Revolving Credit Note dated the Closing Date payable to the order of such Lender in a face amount equal to the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender.

 2.9.1 Issuance of Letters of Credit. 
  
 The Borrower, if applicable, may request the issuance of a letter of credit (each a “Letter of Credit”) on behalf of itself or another Loan
Party by delivering or having such other Loan Party deliver to the Agent a completed application and agreement for letters of credit in such form as the Agent may specify from time to time by no later than 10:00 a.m., Pittsburgh time, at least three
(3) Business Days, or such shorter period as may be agreed to by the Agent, in advance of the proposed date of issuance. Each Letter of Credit issued under this Section shall be a Standby Letter of Credit. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof
and in reliance on the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in this Section 2.9, the Agent or any of the Agent’s Affiliates will issue a Letter of Credit provided that each Letter of Credit shall (A) have a maximum maturity of twelve (12)
months from the date of issuance, and (B) in no event expire later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the Expiration Date and providing that in no event shall (i) the Letters of Credit Outstanding exceed, at any one time, $10,000,000 or (ii) the
Revolving Facility Usage exceed, at any one time, the Revolving Credit Commitments. Schedule 2.9.1 sets forth letters of credit, issued by Agent and the Agent’s Affiliates as an “issuing bank” under the Original Credit
Agreement, which are outstanding as of the Closing Date (the “Existing Letters of Credit”). It is expressly agreed that the Existing Letters of Credit are Letters of Credit under this Agreement. 
  

 26 

 2.9.2 Letter of Credit Fees. 
  
 The Borrower shall pay (i) to the Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders a fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”)
equal to the Euro-Rate Margin, and (ii) to the Agent for its own account a fronting fee equal to 0.125% per annum (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed), which fees shall be computed on the daily average Letters of
Credit Outstanding and shall be payable quarterly in arrears commencing with the first day of each April, July, October and January following issuance of each Letter of Credit and on the Expiration Date. The Borrower shall also pay to the Agent for
the Agent’s sole account the Agent’s then in effect customary fees and administrative expenses payable with respect to the Letters of Credit as the Agent may generally charge or incur from time to time in connection with the issuance,
maintenance, modification (if any), assignment or transfer (if any), negotiation, and administration of Letters of Credit. 
  
 2.9.3 Disbursements, Reimbursement. 
  
 2.9.3.1 Immediately upon the Issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to,
purchase from the Agent a participation in such Letter of Credit and each drawing thereunder in an amount equal to such Lender’s Ratable Share of the maximum amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit and the amount of such
drawing, respectively. 
  
 2.9.3.2 In the event of any request
for a drawing under a Letter of Credit by the beneficiary or transferee thereof, the Agent will promptly notify the Borrower. Provided that it shall have received such notice, the Borrower shall reimburse (such obligation to reimburse the Agent
shall sometimes be referred to as a “Reimbursement Obligation”) the Agent prior to 12:00 noon, Pittsburgh time on each date that an amount is paid by the Agent under any Letter of Credit (each such date, an “Drawing Date”) in an
amount equal to the amount so paid by the Agent. In the event the Borrower fails to reimburse the Agent for the full amount of any drawing under any Letter of Credit by 12:00 noon, Pittsburgh time, on the Drawing Date, the Agent will promptly notify
each Lender thereof, and the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested that Revolving Credit Loans be made by the Lenders under the Base Rate Option to be disbursed on the Drawing Date under such Letter of Credit, subject to the amount of the
unutilized portion of the Revolving Credit Commitment and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 7.2 [Each Additional Loan] other than any notice requirements. Any notice given by the Agent pursuant to this Section 2.9.3.2 may be oral if
immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice. 
  

2.9.3.3 Each Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.9.3.2 make available to the Agent an amount in immediately available funds equal to
its Ratable Share of the amount of the drawing, whereupon the participating Lenders shall (subject to Section 2.9.3.4) each be deemed to have made a Revolving Credit Loan under the Base Rate Option to the Borrower in that amount. If any Lender so
notified fails to make available to the Agent for the account of the Agent the amount of such Lender’s Ratable Share of such amount by no later than 2:00 p.m., Pittsburgh time on the Drawing Date, then interest shall 
  

 27 

 accrue on such Lender’s obligation to make such payment, from the Drawing Date to the date on which such Lender
makes such payment (i) at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate during the first three days following the Drawing Date and (ii) at a rate per annum equal to the rate applicable to Loans under the Revolving Credit Base Rate
Option on and after the fourth day following the Drawing Date. The Agent will promptly give notice of the occurrence of the Drawing Date, but failure of the Agent to give any such notice on the Drawing Date or in sufficient time to enable any Lender
to effect such payment on such date shall not relieve such Lender from its obligation under this Section 2.9.3.3. 
  
 2.9.3.4 With respect to any unreimbursed drawing that is not converted into Revolving Credit Loans under the Base Rate Option to the Borrower in whole or
in part as contemplated by Section 2.9.3.2, because of the Borrower’s failure to satisfy the conditions set forth in Section 7.2 [Each Additional Loan] other than any notice requirements or for any other reason, the Borrower shall be deemed to
have incurred from the Agent a borrowing (each a “Letter of Credit Borrowing”) in the amount of such drawing. Such Letter of Credit Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the rate
per annum applicable to the Revolving Credit Loans under the Base Rate Option. Each Lender’s payment to the Agent pursuant to Section 2.9.3.3 shall be deemed to be a payment in respect of its participation in such Letter of Credit Borrowing and
shall constitute a “Participation Advance” from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.9.3. 
  
 2.9.4 Repayment of Participation Advances. 
  
 2.9.4.1 Upon (and only upon) receipt by the Agent for its account of immediately available funds from the Borrower (i) in reimbursement of any payment
made by the Agent under the Letter of Credit with respect to which any Lender has made a Participation Advance to the Agent, or (ii) in payment of interest on such a payment made by the Agent under such a Letter of Credit, the Agent will pay to each
Lender, in the same funds as those received by the Agent, the amount of such Lender’s Ratable Share of such funds, except the Agent shall retain the amount of the Ratable Share of such funds of any Lender that did not make a Participation
Advance in respect of such payment by Agent. 
  
 2.9.4.2 If the
Agent is required at any time to return to any Loan Party, or to a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian, or any official in any Insolvency Proceeding, any portion of the payments made by any Loan Party to the Agent pursuant to Section 2.9.4.1 in
reimbursement of a payment made under the Letter of Credit or interest or fee thereon, each Lender shall, on demand of the Agent, forthwith return to the Agent the amount of its Ratable Share of any amounts so returned by the Agent plus interest
thereon from the date such demand is made to the date such amounts are returned by such Lender to the Agent, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate in effect from time to time. 
  
 2.9.5 Documentation. 
  
 Each Loan Party agrees to be bound by the terms of the Agent’s
application and agreement for letters of credit and the Agent’s written regulations and customary practices relating to letters of credit, though such interpretation may be different from such Loan Party’s 
  

 28 

 own. In the event of a conflict between such application or agreement and this Agreement, this Agreement shall govern. It
is understood and agreed that, except in the case of gross negligence or willful misconduct, the Agent shall not be liable for any error, negligence and/or mistakes, whether of omission or commission, in following any Loan Party’s instructions
or those contained in the Letters of Credit or any modifications, amendments or supplements thereto. 
  
 2.9.6 Determinations to Honor Drawing Requests. 
  
 In determining whether to honor any request for drawing under any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof, the Agent shall be responsible only to
determine that the documents and certificates required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit have been delivered and that they comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit.

 (viii) any failure by the Agent or any of Agent’s Affiliates to issue

Credit and such error is material and no drawing has been made thereon prior to receipt of such notice;

any Letter of Credit, except if such dishonor resulted from any act or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto government or governmental authority (all such acts or omissions herein called
“Governmental Acts”).

the above shall affect or impair, or prevent the vesting of, any of the Agent’s or the Agent’s Affiliates rights or powers hereunder. Nothing in the preceding sentence shall relieve the Agent from liability for the Agent’s gross
negligence or willful misconduct in connection with actions or omissions described in such clauses (i) through (viii) of such sentence. In no event shall the Agent or the Agent’s Affiliates be liable to any Loan Party for any indirect,
consequential, incidental, punitive, exemplary or special damages or expenses (including without limitation attorneys’ fees), or for any damages resulting from any change in the value of any property relating to a Letter of Credit. 

 
 Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent and each of
its Affiliates (i) may rely on any oral or other communication believed in good faith by the Agent or 
  

 31 

 such Affiliate to have been authorized or given by or on behalf of the applicant for a Letter of Credit, (ii) may honor
any presentation if the documents presented appear on their face substantially to comply with the terms and conditions of the relevant Letter of Credit; (iii) may honor a previously dishonored presentation under a Letter of Credit, whether such
dishonor was pursuant to a court order, to settle or compromise any claim of wrongful dishonor, or otherwise, and shall be entitled to reimbursement to the same extent as if such presentation had initially been honored, together with any interest
paid by the Agent or its Affiliate; (iv) may honor any drawing that is payable upon presentation of a statement advising negotiation or payment, upon receipt of such statement (even if such statement indicates that a draft or other document is being
delivered separately), and shall not be liable for any failure of any such draft or other document to arrive, or to conform in any way with the relevant Letter of Credit; (v) may pay any paying or negotiating bank claiming that it rightfully honored
under the laws or practices of the place where such bank is located; and (vi) may settle or adjust any claim or demand made on the Agent or its Affiliate in any way related to any order issued at the applicant’s request to an air carrier, a
letter of guarantee or of indemnity issued to a carrier or any similar document (each an “Order”) and honor any drawing in connection with any Letter of Credit that is the subject to such Order, notwithstanding that any drafts or other
documents presented in connection with such Letter of Credit fail to conform in any way with such Letter of Credit. 
  
 In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific provisions set forth above, any action taken or omitted by the Agent or the
Agent’s Affiliates under or in connection with the Letters of Credit issued by it or any documents and certificates delivered thereunder, if taken or omitted in good faith, shall not put the Agent or the Agent’s Affiliates under any
resulting liability to the Borrower or any Lender.

 2.10.1 Increasing Lenders
and New Lenders. 
  
 The Borrower shall have the right to
make a one-time request that (1) the current Lenders (the “Existing Lenders”) increase their Revolving Credit Commitments (an Existing Lender which elects to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment shall be referred to as an
“Increasing Lender”) or (2) one or more new banks (each a “New Lender”) join this Agreement and provide a Revolving Credit Commitment hereunder, subject to the following terms and conditions: 
  
 (i) No Obligation to Increase. No Existing Lender shall be obligated
to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment and any increase in the Revolving Credit Commitment by any Existing Lender shall be in the sole discretion of such Existing Lender. 
  
 (ii) Defaults. There shall exist no Events of Default or Potential Default on the effective date of such increase
(the “Revolving Credit Commitment Increase Date”) after giving effect to such increase. 
  
 (iii) Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments. After giving effect to such increase, the total Revolving Credit Commitments shall not exceed
$250,000,000. 
  

 32 

 (iv) Resolutions; Opinion. The Loan Parties shall deliver to the Agent on or before the Revolving
Credit Commitment Increase Date the following documents in a form reasonably acceptable to the Agent: (1) certifications of their corporate secretaries with attached resolutions certifying that the increase in the Revolving Credit Commitment has
been approved by such Loan Parties, and (2) an opinion of counsel addressed to the Agent and the Lenders addressing the authorization and execution of the Loan Documents by, and enforceability of the Loan Documents against, the Loan Parties.

  
 (v) Notes. The Borrower shall execute and deliver (1)
to each Increasing Lender a replacement Note (except if such Increasing Lender requests that it not receive a Note) reflecting the new amount of such Increasing Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment after giving effect to the increase (and the
prior Note issued to such Increasing Lender shall be deemed to be terminated) and (2) to each New Lender a Note (except if such New Lender requests that it not receive a Note) reflecting the amount of such New Lenders’ Revolving Credit
Commitment. 
  
 (vi) Approval. The Agent shall have
approved of such increase and the Increasing Lender or New Lender, as the case may be, that is providing such increase. 
  
 (vii) Increasing Lenders. If any portion of the increase in Revolving Credit Commitments is being provided by one or more Increasing Lenders, then
such Increasing Lenders shall confirm their agreement to increase their Revolving Credit Commitment pursuant to a revolving credit commitment increase agreement, acceptable to the Agent, signed by the Increasing Lenders and the Loan Parties and
delivered to the Agent at least five (5) Business Days before the Revolving Credit Commitment Increase Date. 
  
 (viii) New Lenders—Joinder. If the Borrower desires that one or more New Lenders provide all or a portion of such increase in Revolving
Credit Commitments, then each New Lender, the Loan Parties and the Agent shall execute a joinder and assumption agreement, acceptable to the Agent, pursuant to which the New Lender shall join and become a party to this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents effective on the Revolving Credit Commitment Increase Date with a Revolving Credit Commitment in the amount set forth in Schedule I to such joinder and assumption agreement. 
  
 2.10.2 Treatment of Outstanding Loans and Letters of Credit. 
  
 2.10.2.1 Repayment of Outstanding Loans; Borrowing of New Loans.

  
 On the Revolving Credit Commitment Increase Date, the
Borrower shall repay all Loans outstanding on the Revolving Credit Commitment Increase Date, subject to the Borrower’s indemnity obligations under Section 5.6.2 [Indemnity] provided that the Borrower may borrow new Loans with a Borrowing Date
on the Revolving Credit Commitment Increase Date. Each of the Lenders shall participate in any new Loans made on or after the Revolving Credit Commitment Increase Date in accordance with their respective Ratable Shares after giving effect to the
increase in Revolving Credit Commitments contemplated by this Section 2.10. 
  

 33 

 2.10.2.2 Outstanding Letters of Credit. 
  
 On the Revolving Credit Commitment Increase Date, each Increasing Lender
and each New Lender (a) will be deemed to have purchased a participation in each then outstanding Letter of Credit equal to its Ratable Share of each such Letter of Credit and the participation of each other Lender in each such Letter of Credit
shall be adjusted accordingly and (b) will acquire, (and will pay to the Agent, for the account of each Lender, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to) its Ratable Share of all outstanding Participation Advances. 
  
 3. TERM LOANS 
  
 3.1 Term Loan Commitments. 
  
 Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, and relying upon the
representations and warranties herein set forth, each Lender severally agrees to make a term loan (the “Term Loan”) to the Borrower on the Closing Date in such principal amount as the Borrower shall request up to, but not exceeding such
Lender’s Term Loan Commitment. 
  
 3.2 Nature of
Lenders’ Obligations with Respect to Term Loans. 
  
 The
obligations of each Lender to make Term Loans to the Borrower shall be in the proportion that such Lender’s Term Loan Commitment bears to the Term Loan Commitments of all Lenders to the Borrower, but each Lender’s Term Loan to the Borrower
shall never exceed its Term Loan Commitment. The failure of any Lender to make a Term Loan shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations to make a Term Loan nor shall it impose any additional liability on any other Lender hereunder. The
Lenders shall have no obligation to make Term Loans hereunder after the Closing Date. The Term Loan Commitments are not revolving credit commitments, and the Borrower shall not have the right to borrow, repay and reborrow under Section 3.1 [Term
Loan Commitments]. 
  
 3.3 [Intentionally Deleted.] 
  
 3.4 Term Loan Notes. 
  
 The Obligation of the Borrower to repay the unpaid principal amount of the
Term Loans made to it by each Lender, together with interest thereon, shall be evidenced by a Term Note dated the Closing Date payable to the order of each Lender in a face amount equal to the Term Loan of such Lender. 
  
 3.5 Use of Proceeds. 
  
 The proceeds of the Term Loans shall be used for financing a portion of the
Cantera Acquisition, for fees and expenses related to the Acquisition and otherwise in accordance with Section 8.1.9 [Use of Proceeds]. 
  

 34 

 4. INTEREST RATES 
  
 4.1 Interest Rate Options. 
  

The Borrower shall pay interest in respect of the outstanding unpaid principal amount of the Loans as selected by the Borrower from the Base Rate
Option or Euro-Rate Option set forth below applicable to the Loans, it being understood that, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the Borrower may select different Interest Rate Options and different Interest Periods to apply simultaneously
to the Loans comprising different Borrowing Tranches and may convert to or renew one or more Interest Rate Options with respect to all or any portion of the Loans comprising any Borrowing Tranche, provided that there shall not be at any one
time outstanding more than seven (7) Borrowing Tranches in the aggregate among all of the Loans. If at any time the designated rate applicable to any Loan made by any Lender exceeds such Lender’s highest lawful rate, the rate of interest on
such Lender’s Loan shall be limited to such Lender’s highest lawful rate. 
  
 4.1.1 Revolving Credit Interest Rate Options. 
  
 The Borrower shall have the right to select from the following Interest Rate Options applicable to the Revolving Credit Loans: 
  

(i) Revolving Credit Base Rate Option: A fluctuating rate per annum (computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may
be, and actual days elapsed) equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin, such interest rate to change automatically from time to time effective as of the effective date of each change in the Base Rate; or 
  
 (ii) Revolving Credit Euro-Rate Option: A rate per annum (computed on
the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed) equal to the Euro-Rate plus the Applicable Margin. 
  
 4.1.2 Term Loan Interest Rate Options. 
  
 The Borrower shall have the right to select from the following Interest Rate Options applicable to the Term Loans: 
  
 (i) Term Loan Base Rate Option: A fluctuating rate per annum
(computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed) equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin, such interest rate to change automatically from time to time effective as of the effective
date of each change in the Base Rate; or 
  
 (ii) Term Loan
Euro-Rate Option: A rate per annum (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed) equal to the Euro-Rate plus the Applicable Margin. 
  

 35 

 4.1.3 Rate Quotations. 
  
 The Borrower may call the Agent on or before the date on which a Loan Request is to be delivered to receive an indication
of the rates then in effect, but it is acknowledged that such projection shall not be binding on the Agent or the Lenders nor affect the rate of interest which thereafter is actually in effect when the election is made. 
  
 4.2 Interest Periods. 
  
 At any time when the Borrower shall select, convert to or renew a Euro-Rate
Option, the Borrower shall notify the Agent thereof at least three (3) Business Days prior to the effective date of such Euro-Rate Option by delivering a Loan Request. The notice shall specify an Interest Period during which such Interest Rate
Option shall apply. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the following provisions shall apply to any selection of, renewal of, or conversion to a Euro-Rate Option: 
  
 4.2.1 Amount of Borrowing Tranche. 
  
 each Borrowing Tranche of Euro-Rate Loans shall be in integral multiples of $1,000,000 and not less than $3,000,000;

  
 4.2.2 Renewals. 
  
 in the case of the renewal of a Euro-Rate Option at the end of an Interest
Period, the first day of the new Interest Period shall be the last day of the preceding Interest Period, without duplication in payment of interest for such day. 
  
 4.3 Interest After Default. 
  

To the extent permitted by Law, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and until such time such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived:

  
 4.3.1 Letter of Credit Fees, Interest Rate. 

 
 the Letter of Credit Fees and the rate of interest for each Loan
otherwise applicable pursuant to Section 2.9.2 [Letter of Credit Fees] or Section 4.1 [Interest Rate Options], respectively, shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the interest applicable under the Revolving Base Rate Option
plus an additional 2.0% per annum; and 
  
 4.3.2 Other
Obligations. 
  
 each other Obligation hereunder if not paid
when due shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the rate of interest applicable under the Revolving Credit Base Rate Option plus an additional 2.0% per annum from the time such Obligation becomes due and payable and until it is
paid in full. 
  

 36 

 4.3.3 Acknowledgment. 
  
 The Borrower acknowledges that the increase in rates referred to in this Section 4.3 reflects, among other things, the fact
that such Loans or other amounts have become a substantially greater risk given their default status and that the Lenders are entitled to additional compensation for such risk; and all such interest shall be payable by the Borrower upon demand by
Agent. 
  
 4.4 Euro-Rate Unascertainable; Illegality; Increased
Costs; Deposits Not Available. 
  
 4.4.1
Unascertainable. 
  
 If on any date on which a Euro-Rate
would otherwise be determined, the Agent shall have determined that: 
  
 (i) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining such Euro-Rate, or 
  
 (ii) a contingency has occurred which materially and adversely affects the London interbank eurodollar market relating to the Euro-Rate, the Agent shall have the rights specified in Section 4.4.3. 
  
 4.4.2 Illegality; Increased Costs; Deposits Not Available. 

 
 If at any time any Lender shall have determined that: 
  
 (i) the making, maintenance or funding of any Loan to which a Euro-Rate
Option applies has been made impracticable or unlawful by compliance by such Lender in good faith with any Law or any interpretation or application thereof by any Official Body or with any request or directive of any such Official Body (whether or
not having the force of Law), or 
  
 (ii) such Euro-Rate Option
will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lender of the establishment or maintenance of any such Loan, or 
  
 (iii) after making all reasonable efforts, deposits of the relevant amount in Dollars for the relevant Interest Period for a Loan, or to banks generally,
to which a Euro-Rate Option applies, respectively, are not available to such Lender with respect to such Loan, or to banks generally, in the interbank eurodollar market, 
  
 then the Agent shall have the rights specified in Section 4.4.3. 
  
 4.4.3 Agent’s and Lender’s Rights. 
  
 In the case of any event specified in Section 4.4.1 above, the Agent shall promptly so notify the Lenders and the Borrower
thereof, and in the case of an event specified in Section 4.4.2 above, such Lender shall promptly so notify the Agent and endorse a certificate to 
  

 37 

 such notice as to the specific circumstances of such notice, and the Agent shall promptly send copies of such notice and
certificate to the other Lenders and the Borrower. Upon such date as shall be specified in such notice (which shall not be earlier than the date such notice is given), the obligation of (A) the Lenders, in the case of such notice given by the Agent,
or (B) such Lender, in the case of such notice given by such Lender, to allow the Borrower to select, convert to or renew a Euro-Rate Option shall be suspended until the Agent shall have later notified the Borrower, or such Lender shall have later
notified the Agent, of the Agent’s or such Lender’s, as the case may be, determination that the circumstances giving rise to such previous determination no longer exist. If at any time the Agent makes a determination under Section 4.4.1
and the Borrower has previously notified the Agent of its selection of, conversion to or renewal of a Euro-Rate Option and such Interest Rate Option has not yet gone into effect, such notification shall be deemed to provide for selection of,
conversion to or renewal of the Base Rate Option otherwise available with respect to such Loans. If any Lender notifies the Agent of a determination under Section 4.4.2, the Borrower shall, subject to the Borrower’s indemnification Obligations
under Section 5.6.2 [Indemnity], as to any Loan of the Lender to which a Euro-Rate Option applies, on the date specified in such notice either convert such Loan to the Base Rate Option otherwise available with respect to such Loan or prepay such
Loan in accordance with Section 5.4 [Voluntary Prepayments]. Absent due notice from the Borrower of conversion or prepayment, such Loan shall automatically be converted to the Base Rate Option otherwise available with respect to such Loan upon such
specified date. 
  
 4.5 Selection of Interest Rate Options.

  
 If the Borrower fails to select a new Interest Period to
apply to any Borrowing Tranche of Loans under the Euro-Rate Option at the expiration of an existing Interest Period applicable to such Borrowing Tranche in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.2 [Interest Periods], the Borrower shall be
deemed to have converted such Borrowing Tranche to the Revolving Credit Base Rate Option or Term Loan Base Rate Option, as applicable, commencing upon the last day of the existing Interest Period. 
  
 5. PAYMENTS 
  
 5.1 Payments 
  
 5.1.1 Payment Requirements. 
  
 All payments and prepayments to be made in respect of principal, interest,
Commitment Fees, Letter of Credit Fees, Agent’s Fee or other fees or amounts due from the Borrower hereunder shall be payable prior to 12:00 noon, Pittsburgh time, on the date when due without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind,
all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower, and without set-off, counterclaim or other deduction of any nature, and an action therefor shall immediately accrue. Such payments shall be made to the Agent at the Principal Office for the
ratable accounts of the Lenders with respect to the Loans in U.S. Dollars and in immediately available funds, and the Agent shall promptly distribute such amounts to the Lenders in immediately available funds, provided that in the event
payments are received by 
  

 38 

 12:00 noon, Pittsburgh time, by the Agent with respect to the Loans and such payments are not distributed to the Lenders
on the same day received by the Agent, the Agent shall pay the Lenders the Federal Funds Effective Rate with respect to the amount of such payments for each day held by the Agent and not distributed to the Lenders. The Agent’s and each
Lender’s statement of account, ledger or other relevant record shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive as the statement of the amount of principal of and interest on the Loans and other amounts owing under this Agreement and
shall be deemed an “account stated”. 
  
 5.1.2 Term
Loan Payment Amortization. 
  
 The principal amount of the
Term Loans shall be payable in fifteen (15) equal quarterly installments in the principal amount of $6,875,000.00 each, payable on the first day of each July, October, January, and April of each year commencing on July 1, 2006 with the final
installment of any remaining principal payable on the Term Loan Maturity Date. 
  
 5.2 Pro Rata Treatment of Lenders. 
  
 Each borrowing shall be allocated to each Lender according to its Ratable Share, and each selection of, conversion to or renewal of any Interest Rate Option and each payment or prepayment by the Borrower with respect
to principal, interest, Commitment Fees, Letter of Credit Fees, or other fees (except for the Agent’s Fee) or amounts due from the Borrower hereunder to the Lenders with respect to the Loans, shall (except as provided in Section 4.4.3
[Agent’s and Lender’s Rights] in the case of an event specified in Section 4.4 [Euro-Rate Unascertainable; Etc.], 5.4.2 [Replacement of a Lender] or 5.6 [Additional Compensation in Certain Circumstances]) be made in proportion to the
applicable Loans outstanding from each Lender and, if no such Loans are then outstanding, in proportion to the Ratable Share of each Lender. 
  
 5.3 Interest Payment Dates. 
  
 Interest on Loans to which the Base Rate Option applies shall be due and payable in arrears on the first day of each April, July, October, and January
after the date hereof and on the Expiration Date or upon acceleration of the Notes. Interest on Loans to which the Euro-Rate Option applies shall be due and payable on the last day of each Interest Period for those Loans and, if such Interest Period
is longer than three (3) Months, also on the 90th day of such Interest Period. Interest on mandatory prepayments of principal under Section 5.5 [Mandatory Prepayments] shall be due on the date such mandatory prepayment is due. Interest on the
principal amount of each Loan or other monetary Obligation shall be due and payable on demand after such principal amount or other monetary Obligation becomes due and payable (whether on the stated maturity date, upon acceleration or otherwise).

  

 39 

 5.4 Voluntary Prepayments. 
  
 5.4.1 Right to Prepay. 
  
 The Borrower shall have the right at its option from time to time to prepay the Loans in whole or part without premium or penalty (except as provided in
Section 5.4.2 below or in Section 5.6 [Additional Compensation in Certain Circumstances]): 
  
 (i) at any time with respect to any Loan to which the Base Rate Option applies, 
  
 (ii) on the last day of the applicable Interest Period with respect to Loans to which a Euro-Rate Option applies, 
  
 (iii) on the date specified in a notice by any Lender pursuant to Section
4.4 [Euro-Rate Unascertainable, Etc.] with respect to any Loan to which a Euro-Rate Option applies. 
  
 Whenever the Borrower desires to prepay any part of the Loans, the Borrower shall provide a prepayment notice to the Agent by 1:00 p.m. at least one (1)
Business Day prior to the date of prepayment of Loans setting forth the following information: 
  
 (x) the date, which shall be a Business Day, on which the proposed prepayment is to be made; 
  
 (y) a statement indicating the application of the prepayment
between the Revolving Credit Loans and Term Loans; and 
  
 (z) the total principal amount of such prepayment, which shall not be less than $1,000,000. 
  
 All prepayment notices shall be irrevocable. The principal amount of the Loans for which a prepayment notice is given, together with interest on such
principal amount except with respect to Loans to which the Base Rate Option applies, shall be due and payable on the date specified in such prepayment notice as the date on which the proposed prepayment is to be made. All Term Loan prepayments
permitted pursuant to this Section 5.4.1 shall be applied to the unpaid installments of principal of the Term Loans in the inverse order of scheduled maturities. Except as provided in Section 4.4.3 [Agent’s and Lender’s rights], if the
Borrower prepays a Loan but fails to specify the applicable Borrowing Tranche which the Borrower is prepaying, the prepayment shall be applied (i) first to Revolving Credit Loans and then to Term Loans; and (ii) after giving effect to the
allocations in clause (i) above and in the preceding sentence, first to Loans to which the Base Rate Option applies, then to Loans to which the Euro-Rate Option applies. Any prepayment hereunder shall be subject to the Borrower’s Obligation to
indemnify the Lenders under Section 5.6.2 [Indemnity]. 
  

 40 

 5.4.2 Replacement of a Lender. 
  
 In the event any Lender (i) gives notice under Section 4.4 [Euro-Rate Unascertainable, Etc.] or Section 5.6.1 [Increased
Costs, Etc.], (ii) does not fund Revolving Credit Loans because the making of such Loans would contravene any Law applicable to such Lender, (iii) becomes a Nonconsenting Lender, or (iv) becomes subject to the control of an Official Body (other than
normal and customary supervision), then the Borrower shall have the right at its option, with the consent of the Agent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, to prepay the Loans of such Lender in whole, together with all interest accrued
thereon, and terminate such Lender’s Commitment within ninety (90) days after (w) receipt of such Lender’s notice under Section 4.4 [Euro-Rate Unascertainable, Etc.] or 5.6.1 [Increased Costs, Etc.], (x) the date such Lender has failed to
fund Revolving Credit Loans because the making of such Loans would contravene Law applicable to such Lender, (y) such Lender becomes a Nonconsenting Lender or (z) the date such Lender became subject to the control of an Official Body, as applicable;
provided that the Borrower shall also pay to such Lender at the time of such prepayment any amounts required under Section 5.6 [Additional Compensation in Certain Circumstances] and any accrued interest due on such amount and any related
fees; provided, however, that the Commitment and any Term Loan of such Lender shall be provided by one or more of the remaining Lenders or a replacement bank acceptable to the Agent; provided, further, the remaining Lenders shall have
no obligation hereunder to increase their Commitments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Agent may only be replaced subject to the requirements of Section 10.14 [Successor Agent] and provided that all Letters of Credit have expired or been
terminated or replaced. 
  
 5.4.3 Change of Lending Office.

  
 Each Lender agrees that upon the occurrence of any event
giving rise to increased costs or other special payments under Section 4.4.2 [Illegality, Etc.] or 5.6.1 [Increased Costs, Etc.] with respect to such Lender, it will if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy
considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Loans or Letters of Credit affected by such event, provided that such designation is made on such terms that such Lender and its lending office suffer no economic,
legal or regulatory disadvantage, with the object of avoiding the consequence of the event giving rise to the operation of such Section. Nothing in this Section 5.4.3 shall affect or postpone any of the Obligations of the Borrower or any other Loan
Party or the rights of the Agent or any Lender provided in this Agreement. 
  
 5.4.4 Reduction of Commitment. 
  
 The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time upon five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to Agent to permanently and ratably reduce, in whole multiples of $1,000,000 of principal, or terminate the
Commitments without penalty or premium, except as hereinafter set forth, provided that any such reduction or termination shall be accompanied by (i) the payment in full of any Commitment Fee and other fees then accrued on the amount of such
reduction or termination, (ii) prepayment of the Revolving Credit Notes (together with cash collateralization, if necessary, of the Letters of Credit), together with the full 
  

 41 

 amount of interest accrued on the principal sum to be prepaid (and all amounts referred to in Section 5.6 [Additional
Compensation in Certain Circumstances]), to the extent that the aggregate amount thereof then outstanding exceeds the Commitments as so reduced or terminated. From the effective date of any such reduction or termination, the obligations of the
Borrower to pay the Commitment Fee shall correspondingly be reduced or cease, as the case may be. 
  
 5.5 Mandatory Prepayments. 
  
 5.5.1 Sale of Assets. 
  
 Promptly after the receipt of proceeds from any sale, lease or transfer of assets authorized by Section 8.2.7(v) (which are not reinvested in the time

with accrued interest on such principal amount. 
  
 5.5.2 Debt
or Equity Offering. 
  
 Within five (5) Business Days of (i)
any receipt of any funds resulting from additional member interests being issued in any Loan Party or partnership interests being issued in Parent or (ii) any proceeds of Indebtedness incurred by any of the Loan Parties other than Indebtedness
permitted under Section 8.2.1, the Borrower shall promptly make a mandatory prepayment of principal on the Term Loans equal to the after-tax proceeds of such equity or debt offering (as estimated in good faith by the Borrower), together with accrued
interest on such principal amount. 
  
 5.5.3 Insurance or
Condemnation Proceeds. 
  
 Within one hundred eighty (180)
days of any receipt of insurance or condemnation proceeds, which individually or in the aggregate, involve more than $5,000,000 in any fiscal year, subject to the ability of the Loan Parties to reinvest such proceeds (the “Insurance
Proceeds”), the Borrower shall have reinvested the after-tax proceeds of such Insurance Proceeds in replacement or substitute assets or the Borrower shall make a mandatory prepayment of principal on the Loans equal to such Insurance Proceeds,
together with accrued interest on such principal payment. 
  
 5.5.4 Purchase Price Adjustment. 
  
 Within one
hundred eighty (180) days of any receipt of funds resulting from any purchase price adjustment involving more than $5,000,000 on account of the Cantera Acquisition or any other Acquisition (a “Purchase Price Adjustment”), the Borrower
shall make a mandatory prepayment of principal on the Term Loan equal to such Purchase Price Adjustment, together with accrued interest on such principal payment. 
  

 42

applied to unpaid installments of principal in the inverse order of scheduled maturities. 
  
 5.5.6 Application of Prepayments on and Reduction in Revolving Credit Commitments. 
  
 To the extent that the cumulative, aggregate amount of Sale Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds and Purchase Price Adjustments received by the Loan Parties
exceeds 10% of Consolidated Assets, all proceeds of the foregoing remaining after prepayment of the Term Loan shall be promptly applied to (i) prepay the Revolving Credit Loans, together with accrued and unpaid interest and (ii) the Revolving Credit
Commitments shall be automatically and irrevocably reduced by the amount prepaid under clause (i) above. 
  
 5.5.7 Application Among Interest Rate Options. 
  
 All prepayments required pursuant to this Section 5.5 shall first be applied among the Interest Rate Options to the principal amount of the Loans subject
to the Base Rate Option, then to Loans subject to a Euro-Rate Option. In accordance with Section 5.6.2 [Indemnity], the Borrower shall indemnify the Lenders for any loss or expense, including loss of margin, incurred with respect to any such
prepayments applied against Loans subject to a Euro-Rate Option on any day other than the last day of the applicable Interest Period. 
  
 5.6 Additional Compensation in Certain Circumstances. 
  
 5.6.1 Increased Costs or Reduced Return Resulting from Taxes, Reserves, Capital Adequacy Requirements, Expenses, Etc. 
  
 If any Law, guideline or interpretation or any change in any Law, guideline

under this Agreement, and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to, reduce the income receivable by, or impose any expense (including loss of margin) upon any Lender with respect to this Agreement, the Notes or the making,

 (i) payment, prepayment, conversion or renewal of any Loan to which a Euro-Rate Option applies on a day other than the last day of the corresponding Interest Period (whether or not such payment or prepayment is
mandatory, voluntary or automatic and whether or not such payment or prepayment is then due),

Lender (which determination may include such assumptions, allocations of costs and expenses and averaging or attribution methods as such Lender shall deem reasonable) to be necessary to indemnify such Lender for such loss or expense. Such notice
shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for such determination. Such amount shall be due and payable by the Borrower to such Lender ten (10) Business Days after such notice is given.

of any other remedy by the Agent, shall be applied as follows:

Agent under the Collateral Documents shall be deemed to serve as the collateral agent (the “Collateral Agent”) for the IRH Provider, the CH Provider, and the Lenders hereunder, provided that the Collateral Agent shall comply with the
instructions and directions of the Agent (or the Lenders under this Agreement to the extent that this Agreement or any other Loan Documents empowers the Lenders to direct the Agent), as to all matters relating to the Collateral, including the
maintenance and disposition thereof. No IRH Provider or CH Provider (except in its capacity as a Lender hereunder) shall be entitled or have the power to direct or instruct the Collateral Agent on any such matters or to control or direct in any

 10. THE AGENT 
  
 10.1 Appointment. 
  
 Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates, appoints and authorizes PNC Bank
to act as Agent for such Lender under this Agreement and to execute and deliver or accept on behalf of each of the Lenders the other Loan Documents. Each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes, and each holder of any Note by the acceptance of a Note
shall be deemed irrevocably to 
  

 77 

 authorize, the Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents and any other instruments and agreements referred to herein, and to exercise such powers and to perform such duties hereunder as are specifically delegated to or required of the Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are
reasonably incidental thereto. PNC Bank agrees to act as the Agent on behalf of the Lenders to the extent provided in this Agreement. 
  
 10.2 Delegation of Duties. 
  
 The Agent may perform any of its duties hereunder by or through agents or employees (provided such delegation does not constitute a relinquishment
of its duties as Agent) and, subject to Sections 10.5 [Reimbursement and Indemnification of Agent by the Borrower] and 10.6 [Exculpatory Provisions; Limitation of Liability], shall be entitled to engage and pay for the advice or services of any
attorneys, accountants or other experts concerning all matters pertaining to its duties hereunder and to rely upon any advice so obtained. It is acknowledged and agreed that RBC Capital Markets has received the title of syndication agent under this
Agreement, that each of Fleet National Bank, SunTrust Bank and Wachovia Bank, National Association has received the title of documentation agent under this Agreement, that each of BNP Paribas and Société Générale has
received the title of managing agent under this Agreement; however, such designations are solely to give each of RBC Capital Markets, Fleet National Bank, SunTrust Bank, Wachovia Bank, National Association, BNP Paribas and Société
Générale its respective title and each of RBC Capital Markets, Fleet National Bank, SunTrust Bank, Wachovia Bank, National Association, BNP Paribas and Société Générale has no duties, responsibilities,
functions, obligations or liabilities, implied or otherwise, under the Loan Documents solely as a result of being so designated as a syndication agent, a documentation agent or a managing agent, respectively. 
  
 10.3 Nature of Duties; Independent Credit Investigation. 

 
 The Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly
set forth in this Agreement and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations, or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or otherwise exist. The duties of the Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature;
the Agent shall not have by reason of this Agreement a fiduciary or trust relationship in respect of any Lender; and nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon the Agent any obligations
in respect of this Agreement except as expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of the term “agent” in this Agreement with reference to the Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or
other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent
contracting parties. Each Lender expressly acknowledges (i) that the Agent has not made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of any of the Loan Parties, shall be
deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Agent to any Lender; (ii) that it has made and will continue to make, without reliance upon the Agent, its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs and its own
appraisal of the creditworthiness of each of the Loan Parties in connection with this 
  

 78 

 Agreement and the making and continuance of the Loans hereunder; and (iii) except as expressly provided herein, that the
Agent shall have no duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the making of any Loan or at any time
or times thereafter. 
  
 10.4 Actions in Discretion of Agent;
Instructions From the Lenders. 
  
 The Agent agrees, upon the
written request of the Required Lenders, to take or refrain from taking any action of the type specified as being within the Agent’s rights, powers or discretion herein, provided that the Agent shall not be required to take any action
which exposes the Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or applicable Law. In the absence of a request by the Required Lenders, the Agent shall have authority, in its sole discretion, to take
or not to take any such action, unless this Agreement specifically requires the consent of the Required Lenders or all of the Lenders. Any action taken or failure to act pursuant to such instructions or discretion shall be binding on the Lenders,
subject to Section 10.6 [Exculpatory Provisions, Etc.]. Subject to the provisions of Section 10.6, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Agent as a result of the Agent acting or refraining from acting hereunder in
accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders, or in the absence of such instructions, in the absolute discretion of the Agent. 
  
 10.5 Reimbursement and Indemnification of Agent by the Borrower. 
  
 The Borrower unconditionally agrees to pay or reimburse the Agent and hold the Agent harmless against (a) liability for the
payment of all reasonable out-of-pocket costs, expenses and disbursements, including fees and expenses of counsel (including the out-of-pocket expenses of staff counsel), appraisers and environmental consultants, incurred by the Agent (i) in
connection with the development, negotiation, preparation, printing, execution, administration, syndication, interpretation and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (ii) relating to any requested amendments, waivers or
consents pursuant to the provisions hereof, (iii) in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or collection of amounts due hereunder or thereunder or the proof and allowability of any claim arising under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, whether in bankruptcy or receivership proceedings or otherwise, and (iv) in any workout or restructuring or in connection with the protection, preservation, exercise or enforcement of any of the terms hereof or
of any rights hereunder or under any other Loan Document or in connection with any foreclosure, collection or bankruptcy proceedings, and (b) all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or
disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Agent, in its capacity as such, in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents or any action taken or
omitted by the Agent hereunder or thereunder, provided that the Borrower shall not be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements if the same
results from the Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, or if the Borrower was not given notice of the subject claim and the opportunity to participate in the defense thereof, at its expense (except that the Borrower shall remain
liable to the extent such failure to give notice does not result in a loss to the Borrower), or if the same 
  

 79 

 results from a compromise or settlement agreement entered into without the consent of the Borrower, which shall not be
unreasonably withheld. In addition, the Borrower agrees to reimburse and pay all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Agent’s regular employees and agents engaged periodically to perform audits of the Loan Parties’ books, records and
business properties. 
  
 10.6 Exculpatory Provisions;
Limitation of Liability. 
  
 Neither the Agent nor any of its
directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys or Affiliates shall (a) be liable to any Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder, or in connection herewith including pursuant to any Loan Document, unless caused
by its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct, (b) be responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for the effectiveness, enforceability, genuineness, validity or the due execution of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents or for
any recital, representation, warranty, document, certificate, report or statement herein or made or furnished under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, or (c) be under any obligation to any of the Lenders to ascertain
or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions hereof or thereof on the part of the Loan Parties, or the financial condition of the Loan Parties, or the existence or possible existence of any Event of
Default or Potential Default. No claim may be made by any of the Loan Parties, any Lender, the Agent or any of their respective Subsidiaries against the Agent, any Lender or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys
or Affiliates, or any of them, for any special, indirect or consequential damages or, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, for any punitive damages in respect of any claim or cause of action (whether based on contract, tort, statutory liability,
or any other ground) based on, arising out of or related to any Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby or any act, omission or event occurring in connection therewith, including the negotiation, documentation, administration or
collection of the Loans, and each of the Loan Parties, (for itself and on behalf of each of its Subsidiaries), the Agent and each Lender hereby waive, releases and agree never to sue upon any claim for any such damages, whether such claim now exists
or hereafter arises and whether or not it is now known or suspected to exist in its favor. Each Lender agrees that, except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Agent hereunder or given to
the Agent for the account of or with copies for the Lenders, the Agent and each of its directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys or Affiliates shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with an credit or other
information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of the Loan Parties which may come into the possession of the Agent or any of its directors, officers, employees, agents,
attorneys or Affiliates. 
  
 10.7 Reimbursement and
Indemnification of Agent by Lenders. 
  
 Each Lender agrees
to reimburse and indemnify the Agent (to the extent required to be, but not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the Obligation of the Borrower to do so) in proportion to its Ratable Share from and against all liabilities, obligations,
losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements, including attorneys’ fees and disbursements (including the allocated costs of staff counsel), and costs of 
  

 80 

 appraisers and environmental consultants, of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or
asserted against the Agent, in its capacity as such, in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by the Agent hereunder or thereunder, provided that no Lender shall be
liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements (a) if the same results from the Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, or (b) if such
Lender was not given notice of the subject claim and the opportunity to participate in the defense thereof, at its expense (except that such Lender shall remain liable to the extent such failure to give notice does not result in a loss to the
Lender), or (c) if the same results from a compromise and settlement agreement entered into without the consent of such Lender, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. In addition, each Lender agrees promptly upon demand to reimburse the Agent (to
the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the Obligation of the Borrower to do so) in proportion to its Ratable Share for all amounts due and payable by the Borrower to the Agent in connection with the Agent’s periodic
audit of the Loan Parties’ books, records and business properties. 
  
 10.8 Reliance by Agent. 
  
 The Agent shall be
entitled to rely upon any writing, telegram, telex or teletype message, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, letter, cablegram, statement, order or other document or conversation by telephone or otherwise believed by it to be genuine and
correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon the advice and opinions of counsel and other professional advisers selected by the Agent. The Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any
action hereunder unless it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. 
  
 10.9 Notice of Default. 
  
 The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence
of any Potential Default or Event of Default unless the Agent has received written notice from a Lender or the Borrower or any other Loan Party referring to this Agreement, describing such Potential Default or Event of Default and stating that such
notice is a “notice of default”. 
  
 10.10
Notices. 
  
 The Agent shall promptly send to each Lender
a copy of all notices received from the Borrower or any other Loan Party pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents promptly upon receipt thereof. The Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the other Lenders of
each change in the Base Rate and the effective date thereof. 
  
 10.11 Lenders in Their Individual Capacities; Agent in its Individual Capacity. 
  
 With respect to its Revolving Credit Commitment, the Revolving Credit Loans, the Term Loan Commitment and the Term Loan made by it and any other rights
and powers given to it as a Lender hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, the Agent shall have 
  

 81 

 the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent, and
the term “Lender” and “Lenders” shall, unless the context otherwise indicates, include the Agent in its individual capacity. PNC Bank and its Affiliates and each of the Lenders and their respective Affiliates may, without
liability to account, except as prohibited herein, make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, acquire equity interests in, accept deposits from, discount drafts for, act as trustee under indentures of, and generally engage in any
kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with, the Loan Parties and their Affiliates, in the case of the Agent, as though it were not acting as Agent hereunder and in the case of each Lender, as though such Lender
were not a Lender hereunder, in each case without notice to or consent of the other Lenders. The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, the Agent or its Affiliates may (i) receive information regarding the Loan Parties or any of
their Subsidiaries or Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of the Loan Parties or such Subsidiary or Affiliate) and acknowledge that the Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such
information to them, and (ii) accept fees and other consideration from the Loan Parties for services in connection with this Agreement and otherwise without having to account for the same to the Lenders. 
  
 10.12 Holders of Notes. 
  
 The Agent may deem and treat any payee of any Note as the owner thereof for
all purposes hereof unless and until written notice of the assignment or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Agent. Any request, authority or consent of any Person who at the time of making such request or giving such authority or
consent is the holder of any Note shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee or assignee of such Note or of any Note or Notes issued in exchange therefor. 
  
 10.13 Equalization of Lenders. 
  
 The Lenders and the holders of any participations in any Notes agree among themselves that, with respect to all amounts
received by any Lender or any such holder for application on any Obligation hereunder or under any Note or under any such participation, whether received by voluntary payment, by realization upon security, by the exercise of the right of set-off or
banker’s lien, by counterclaim or by any other non-pro rata source, equitable adjustment will be made in the manner stated in the following sentence so that, in effect, all such excess amounts will be shared ratably among the Lenders and such
holders in proportion to their interests in payments under the Notes, except as otherwise provided in Section 4.4.3 [Agent’s and Lender’s Rights], 5.4.2 [Replacement of a Lender] or 5.6 [Additional Compensation in Certain Circumstances].
The Lenders or any such holder receiving any such amount shall purchase for cash from each of the other Lenders an interest in such Lender’s Loans in such amount as shall result in a ratable participation by the Lenders and each such holder in
the aggregate unpaid amount under the Notes, provided that if all or any portion of such excess amount is thereafter recovered from the Lender or the holder making such purchase, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price
restored to the extent of such recovery, together with interest or other amounts, if any, required by law (including court order) to be paid by the Lender or the holder making such purchase. 
  

 82 

 10.14 Successor Agent. 
  
 The Agent (i) may resign as Agent or (ii) shall resign if such resignation is requested by the Required Lenders (if the
Agent is a Lender, the Agent’s Loans and its Commitment shall be considered in determining whether the Required Lenders have requested such resignation) or required by Section 5.4.2 [Replacement of a Lender], in either case of (i) or (ii) by
giving not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Borrower. If the Agent shall resign under this Agreement, then either (a) the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, subject to
the consent of the Borrower, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, or (b) if a successor agent shall not be so appointed and approved within the thirty (30) day period following the Agent’s notice to the Lenders of its resignation, then
the Agent shall appoint, with the consent of the Borrower, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, a successor agent who shall serve as Agent until such time as the Required Lenders appoint and the Borrower consents to the appointment of a
successor agent. Upon its appointment pursuant to either clause (a) or (b) above, such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Agent, and the term “Agent” shall mean such successor agent, effective upon its
appointment, and the former Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement. After the resignation of any Agent
hereunder, the provisions of this Section 10 shall inure to the benefit of such former Agent and such former Agent shall not by reason of such resignation be deemed to be released from liability for any actions taken or not taken by it while it was
an Agent under this Agreement. 
  
 10.15 Agent’s Fee.

  
 The Borrower shall pay to the Agent a nonrefundable fee (the
“Agent’s Fee”) under the terms of a letter (the “Agent’s Letter”) between the Borrower and Agent, as amended from time to time. 
  
 10.16 Availability of Funds. 
  
 The Agent may assume that each Lender has made or will make the proceeds of a Loan available to the Agent unless the Agent shall have been notified by
such Lender on or before the later of (1) the close of Business on the Business Day preceding the Borrowing Date with respect to such Loan or two (2) hours before the time on which the Agent actually funds the proceeds of such Loan to the Borrower
(whether using its own funds pursuant to this Section 10.16 or using proceeds deposited with the Agent by the Lenders and whether such funding occurs before or after the time on which Lenders are required to deposit the proceeds of such Loan with
the Agent). The Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption (but shall not be required to), make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Agent by such Lender, the Agent
shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender (or, if such Lender fails to pay such amount forthwith upon such demand from the Borrower) together with interest thereon, in respect of each day during the period commencing on the
date such amount was made available to the Borrower and ending on the date the Agent recovers such amount, at a rate per annum equal to (i) the Federal Funds Effective Rate during the first three (3) days after such interest shall begin to accrue
and (ii) the applicable interest rate in respect of such Loan after the end of such three-day period. 
  

 83 

 10.17 Calculations. 
  
 In the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, the Agent shall not be liable for any error in computing the
amount payable to any Lender whether in respect of the Loans, fees or any other amounts due to the Lenders under this Agreement. In the event an error in computing any amount payable to any Lender is made, the Agent, the Borrower, and each affected
Lender shall, forthwith upon discovery of such error, make such adjustments as shall be required to correct such error, and any compensation therefor will be calculated at the Federal Funds Effective Rate. 
  
 10.18 No Reliance on Agent’s Customer Identification Program.

  
 Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that neither such Lender,
nor any of its Affiliates, participants or assignees, may rely on the Agent to carry out such Lender’s, Affiliate’s, participant’s or assignee’s customer identification program, or other obligations required or imposed under or
pursuant to the USA Patriot Act or the regulations thereunder, including the regulations contained in 31 CFR 103.121 (as hereafter amended or replaced, the “CIP Regulations”), or any other Anti-Terrorism Law, including any programs
involving any of the following items relating to or in connection with any of the Loan Parties, their Affiliates or their agents, the Loan Documents or the transactions hereunder or contemplated hereby: (1) any identity verification procedures, (2)
any recordkeeping, (3) comparisons with government lists, (4) customer notices or (5) other procedures required under the CIP Regulations or such other Laws. 
  
 10.19 Beneficiaries. 
  
 Except as expressly provided herein, the provisions of this Section 10 are solely for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, and the Loan Parties shall
not have any rights to rely on or enforce any of the provisions hereof. In performing its functions and duties under this Agreement, the Agent shall act solely as agent of the Lenders and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any
obligation toward or relationship of agency or trust with or for any of the Loan Parties. 
  
 11. MISCELLANEOUS 
  
 11.1
Modifications, Amendments or Waivers. 
  
 With the written
consent of the Required Lenders, the Agent, acting on behalf of all the Lenders, and the Borrower, on behalf of the Loan Parties, may from time to time enter into written agreements amending or changing any provision of this Agreement or any other
Loan Document or the rights of the Lenders or the Loan Parties hereunder or thereunder, or may grant written waivers or consents to a departure from the due performance of the Obligations of the Loan Parties hereunder or thereunder. Any such
agreement, waiver or consent made with such 
  

 84 

 written consent shall be effective to bind all the Lenders and the Loan Parties; provided, that, without the
written consent of all the Lenders, no such agreement, waiver or consent may be made which will: 
  
 11.1.1 Increase of Commitment; Extension of Expiration Date. 
  
 Increase the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment or Term Loan Commitment of any Lender hereunder or extend the
Expiration Date or the Term Loan Maturity Date; 
  
 11.1.2
Extension of Payment; Reduction of Principal Interest or Fees; Modification of Terms of Payment. 
  
 Whether or not any Loans are outstanding, extend the time for payment of principal or interest of any Loan or any Reimbursement Obligation (excluding the
due date of any mandatory prepayment of a Loan or any mandatory Commitment reduction in connection with such a mandatory prepayment hereunder except for mandatory reductions of the Commitments on the Expiration Date), the Commitment Fee or any other
fee payable to any Lender, or reduce the principal amount of or the rate of interest borne by any Loan or reduce the Commitment Fee or any other fee payable to any Lender, or otherwise affect the terms of payment of the principal of or interest of
any Loan, the Commitment Fee or any other fee payable to any Lender; 
  
 11.1.3 Release of Collateral or Guarantor. 
  
 Except for sales of assets permitted by Section 8.2.7 [Disposition of Assets or Subsidiaries], release any Collateral consisting of capital stock or other ownership interests of any Loan Party or its Subsidiary or substantially all of the
assets of any Loan Party, any Guarantor from its Obligations under the Guaranty Agreement or Parent Guaranty Agreement or any other security for any of the Loan Parties’ Obligations; or 
  
 11.1.4 Miscellaneous. 
  
 Amend Section 5.2 [Pro Rata Treatment of Lenders], 10.6 [Exculpatory
Provisions, Etc.] or 10.13 [Equalization of Lenders] or this Section 11.1, alter any provision regarding the pro rata treatment of the Lenders, change the definition of Required Lenders, or change any requirement providing for the Lenders or the
Required Lenders to authorize the taking of any action hereunder; 
  
 provided, further, that no agreement, waiver or consent which would modify the interests, rights or obligations of the Agent in its capacity as Agent or as the issuer of Letters of Credit shall be effective without the written
consent of the Agent. 
  
 11.2 No Implied Waivers; Cumulative
Remedies; Writing Required. 
  
 No course of dealing and no
delay or failure of the Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, power, remedy or privilege under this Agreement or any other Loan 
  

 85 

 Document shall affect any other or future exercise thereof or operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or
partial exercise thereof or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right, power, remedy or privilege preclude any further exercise thereof or of any other right, power, remedy or privilege. The rights and remedies of the Agent
and the Lenders under this Agreement and any other Loan Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which they would otherwise have. Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on the part of any Lender
of any breach or default under this Agreement or any such waiver of any provision or condition of this Agreement must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing. 
  
 11.3 Reimbursement and Indemnification of Lenders by the Borrower;
Taxes. 
  
 The Borrower agrees unconditionally upon demand to
pay or reimburse to each Lender (other than the Agent, as to which the Borrower’s Obligations are set forth in Section 10.5 [Reimbursement and Indemnification of Agent by the Borrower]) and to save such Lender harmless against (i) liability for
the payment of all reasonable out-of-pocket costs, expenses and disbursements (including fees and expenses of counsel (including out-of-pocket expenses of staff counsel) for each Lender except with respect to (a) and (b) below), incurred by such
Lender (a) in connection with the administration and interpretation of this Agreement, and other instruments and documents to be delivered hereunder, (b) relating to any amendments, waivers or consents pursuant to the provisions hereof, (c) in
connection with the enforcement of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or collection of amounts due hereunder or thereunder or the proof and allowability of any claim arising under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, whether in
bankruptcy or receivership proceedings or otherwise, and (d) in any workout or restructuring or in connection with the protection, preservation, exercise or enforcement of any of the terms hereof or of any rights hereunder or under any other Loan
Document or in connection with any foreclosure, collection or bankruptcy proceedings, or (ii) all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever
which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Lender, in its capacity as such, in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by such Lender hereunder or thereunder,
provided that the Borrower shall not be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements (A) if the same results from such Lender’s gross
negligence or willful misconduct, or (B) if the Borrower was not given notice of the subject claim and the opportunity to participate in the defense thereof, at its expense (except that the Borrower shall remain liable to the extent such failure to
give notice does not result in a loss to the Borrower), or (C) if the same results from a compromise or settlement agreement entered into without the consent of the Borrower, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Lenders will attempt to
minimize the fees and expenses of legal counsel for the Lenders which are subject to reimbursement by the Borrower hereunder by considering the usage of one law firm to represent the Lenders and the Agent if appropriate under the circumstances. The
Borrower agrees unconditionally to pay all stamp, document, transfer, recording or filing taxes or fees and similar impositions now or hereafter determined by the Agent or any Lender to be payable in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan
Document, and the Borrower agrees unconditionally to save the Agent and the Lenders harmless from and against any and all present or future claims, liabilities or losses with respect to or resulting from any omission to pay or delay in paying any
such taxes, fees or impositions. 
  

 86 

 11.4 Holidays. 
  
 Whenever payment of a Loan to be made or taken hereunder shall be due on a day which is not a Business Day such payment
shall be due on the next Business Day (except as provided in Section 4.2 [Interest Periods] with respect to Interest Periods under the Euro-Rate Option) and such extension of time shall be included in computing interest and fees, except that the
Loans shall be due on the Business Day preceding the Expiration Date if the Expiration Date is not a Business Day. Whenever any payment or action to be made or taken hereunder (other than payment of the Loans) shall be stated to be due on a day
which is not a Business Day, such payment or action shall be made or taken on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall not be included in computing interest or fees, if any, in connection with such payment or action.

  
 11.5 Funding by Branch, Subsidiary or Affiliate.

  
 11.5.1 Notional Funding. 
  
 Each Lender shall have the right from time to time, without notice to the
Borrower, to deem any branch, Subsidiary or Affiliate (which for the purposes of this Section 11.5 shall mean any corporation or association which is directly or indirectly controlled by or is under direct or indirect common control with any
corporation or association which directly or indirectly controls such Lender) of such Lender to have made, maintained or funded any Loan to which the Euro-Rate Option applies at any time, provided that immediately following (on the assumption
that a payment were then due from the Borrower to such other office), and as a result of such change, the Borrower would not be under any greater financial obligation pursuant to Section 5.6 [Additional Compensation in Certain Circumstances] than it
would have been in the absence of such change. Notional funding offices may be selected by each Lender without regard to such Lender’s actual methods of making, maintaining or funding the Loans or any sources of funding actually used by or
available to such Lender. 
  
 11.5.2 Actual Funding.

  
 Each Lender shall have the right from time to time to make
or maintain any Loan by arranging for a branch, Subsidiary or Affiliate of such Lender to make or maintain such Loan subject to the last sentence of this Section 11.5.2. If any Lender causes a branch, Subsidiary or Affiliate to make or maintain any
part of the Loans hereunder, all terms and conditions of this Agreement shall, except where the context clearly requires otherwise, be applicable to such part of the Loans to the same extent as if such Loans were made or maintained by such Lender,
but in no event shall any Lender’s use of such a branch, Subsidiary or Affiliate to make or maintain any part of the Loans hereunder cause such Lender or such branch, Subsidiary or Affiliate to incur any cost or expenses payable by the Borrower
hereunder or require the Borrower to pay any other compensation to any Lender (including any expenses incurred or payable pursuant to Section 5.6 [Additional Compensation in Certain Circumstances]) which would otherwise not be incurred. 

 

 87

other Lenders of its receipt of such Notice. 
  
 11.7
Severability. 
  
 The provisions of this Agreement are
intended to be severable. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part in any jurisdiction, such 
  

 88 

 provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without in
any manner affecting the validity or enforceability thereof in any other jurisdiction or the remaining provisions hereof in any jurisdiction. 
  
 11.8 Governing Law. 
  
 Each Letter of Credit and Section 2.9 [Letter of Credit Subfacility] shall be subject to the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits (1993
Revision), International Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 500, as the same may be revised or amended from time to time, and to the extent not inconsistent therewith, the internal laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania without regard to its
conflict of laws principles, and the balance of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a contract under the Laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and for all purposes shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal

Survival. 
  
 All representations and warranties of the Loan
Parties contained herein or made in connection herewith shall survive the making of Loans and issuance of Letters of Credit and shall not be waived by the execution and delivery of this Agreement, any investigation by the Agent or the Lenders, the
making of Loans, issuance of Letters of Credit, or payment in full of the Loans. All covenants and agreements of the Loan Parties contained in Sections 8.1 [Affirmative Covenants], 8.2 [Negative Covenants] and 8.3 [Reporting Requirements] herein
shall continue in full force and effect from and after the date hereof so long as the Borrower may borrow or request Letters of Credit hereunder and until termination of the Commitments and payment in full of the Loans and expiration or termination
of all Letters of Credit. All covenants and agreements of the Borrower contained herein relating to the payment of principal, interest, premiums, additional compensation or expenses and indemnification, including those set forth in the Notes,
Section 5 [Payments] and Sections 10.5 [Reimbursement of Agent by Borrower, Etc.], 10.7 [Reimbursement of Agent by Lenders, Etc.] and 11.3 [Reimbursement of Lenders by Borrower; Etc.], shall survive payment in full of the Loans, expiration or

 11.11 Successors and Assigns. 
  
 (i) This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Lenders, the Agent, the Loan Parties and their respective successors and assigns, except that none of the Loan Parties may assign or transfer any of its rights
and Obligations hereunder or 
  

 89 

 any interest herein. Each Lender may, at its own cost, make assignments of or sell participations in all or any part of
its Commitments and the Loans made by it to one or more banks or other entities, subject to the consent of the Borrower and the Agent with respect to any assignee, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, provided that (1) no consent of
the Borrower shall be required (A) if an Event of Default exists and is continuing, or (B) in the case of an assignment by a Lender to an Affiliate of such Lender, and (2) any assignment by a Lender to a Person other than an Affiliate of such Lender
may not be made in amounts less than the lesser of $1,000,000 or the amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment. In the case of an assignment, upon receipt by the Agent of the Assignment and Assumption Agreement, the assignee shall have, to
the extent of such assignment (unless otherwise provided therein), the same rights, benefits and obligations as it would have if it had been a signatory Lender hereunder, the Commitments shall be adjusted accordingly, and upon surrender of any Note
subject to such assignment, the Borrower shall execute and deliver a new Note to the assignee in an amount equal to the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment or Term Loan assumed by it and a new Revolving Credit Note or Term Note to the
assigning Lender in an amount equal to the Revolving Credit Commitment or Term Loan retained by it hereunder. Any Lender which assigns any or all of its Commitment or Loans to a Person other than an Affiliate of such Lender shall pay to the Agent a
service fee in the amount of $3,500 for each assignment. In the case of a participation, the participant shall only have the rights specified in Section 9.2.3 [Set-off] (the participant’s rights against such Lender in respect of such
participation to be those set forth in the agreement executed by such Lender in favor of the participant relating thereto and not to include any voting rights except with respect to changes of the type referenced in Sections 11.1.1 [Increase of
Commitment, Etc.], 11.1.2 [Extension of Payment, Etc.], or 11.1.3 [Release of Collateral or Guarantor]), all of such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall remain unchanged, and all amounts payable by any
Loan Party hereunder or thereunder shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation. 
  
 (ii) Any assignee or participant which is not incorporated under the Laws of the United States of America or a state thereof shall deliver to the
Borrower and the Agent the form of certificate described in Section 11.17.1 [Tax Withholding Clause] relating to federal income tax withholding. Each Lender may furnish any publicly available information concerning any Loan Party or its Subsidiaries
and any other information concerning any Loan Party or its Subsidiaries in the possession of such Lender from time to time to assignees and participants (including prospective assignees or participants), provided that such assignees and

 11.17 Certifications From Lenders and Participants 
  
 11.17.1 Tax Withholding. 
  
 Each Lender or assignee or participant of a Lender that is not incorporated under the Laws of the United States of America or a state thereof (and, upon
the written request of the Agent, each other Lender or assignee or participant of a Lender) agrees that it will deliver to each of the Borrower and the Agent two (2) duly completed appropriate valid Withholding Certificates (as defined under §
1.1441-1(c)(16) of the Income Tax Regulations (the “Regulations”)) certifying its status (i.e. U.S. or foreign person) and, if appropriate, making a claim of reduced, or exemption from, U.S. withholding tax on the basis of an income tax
treaty or an exemption provided by the Internal Revenue Code. The term “Withholding Certificate” means a Form W-9; a Form W-8BEN; a Form W-8ECI; a Form W-8IMY and the related statements and certifications as required under §
1.1441-1(e)(2) and/or (3) of the Regulations; a statement described in § 1.871-14(c)(2)(v) of the Regulations; or any other certificates under the Internal Revenue Code 
  

 92 

 or Regulations that certify or establish the status of a payee or beneficial owner as a U.S. or foreign person. Each
Lender, assignee or participant required to deliver to the Borrower and the Agent a Withholding Certificate pursuant to the preceding sentence shall deliver such valid Withholding Certificate as follows: (A) each Lender which is a party hereto on
the Closing Date shall deliver such valid Withholding Certificate at least five (5) Business Days prior to the first date on which any interest or fees are payable by the Borrower hereunder for the account of such Lender; (B) each assignee or
participant shall deliver such valid Withholding Certificate at least five (5) Business Days before the effective date of such assignment or participation (unless the Agent in its sole discretion shall permit such assignee or participant to deliver
such valid Withholding Certificate less than five (5) Business Days before such date in which case it shall be due on the date specified by the Agent). Each Lender, assignee or participant which so delivers a valid Withholding Certificate further
undertakes to deliver to each of the Borrower and the Agent two (2) additional copies of such Withholding Certificate (or a successor form) on or before the date that such Withholding Certificate expires or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence
of any event requiring a change in the most recent Withholding Certificate so delivered by it, and such amendments thereto or extensions or renewals thereof as may be reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent. Notwithstanding the submission
of a Withholding Certificate claiming a reduced rate of or exemption from U.S. withholding tax, the Agent shall be entitled to withhold United States federal income taxes at the full 30% withholding rate if in its reasonable judgment it is required
to do so under the due diligence requirements imposed upon a withholding agent under § 1.1441-7(b) of the Regulations. Further, the Agent is indemnified under § 1.1461-1(e) of the Regulations against any claims and demands of any Lender or
assignee or participant of a Lender for the amount of any tax it deducts and withholds in accordance with regulations under § 1441 of the Internal Revenue Code. 
  
 11.17.2 USA Patriot Act. 
  
 Each Lender or assignee or participant of a Lender that is not incorporated under the Laws of the United States of America or a state thereof (and is not
excepted from the certification requirement contained in Section 313 of the USA Patriot Act and the applicable regulations because it is both (i) an affiliate of a depository institution or foreign bank that maintains a physical presence in the
United states or foreign county, and (ii) subject to supervision by a banking authority regulating such affiliated depository institution or foreign bank) shall deliver to the Agent the certification, or, if applicable, recertification, certifying
that such Lender is not a “shell” and certifying to other matters as required by Section 313 of the USA Patriot Act and the applicable regulations: (1) within 10 days after the Closing Date, and (2) as such other times as are required
under the USA Patriot Act. 
  
 11.18 Joinder of Guarantors.

  
 Any Subsidiary of the Borrower which is required to join this
Agreement as a Guarantor pursuant to Section 8.2.9 [Subsidiaries, Partnerships and Joint Ventures] shall execute and deliver to the Agent (i) a Guarantor Joinder in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit 1.1(G)(1) pursuant to which
it shall join as a Guarantor each of the documents to which the Guarantors are parties; (ii) documents in the forms described in Section 7.1 [First Loans] modified as appropriate to relate to such Subsidiary; and (iii) documents necessary to grant
and 
  

 93 

 perfect Prior Security Interests to the Agent for the benefit of the Lenders in all Collateral held by such Subsidiary so
long as a Security Event has occurred. The Loan Parties shall deliver such Guarantor Joinder and related documents to the Agent within five (5) Business Days after the date of the filing of such Subsidiary’s articles of incorporation if the
Subsidiary is a corporation, the date of the filing of its certificate of limited partnership if it is a limited partnership or the date of its organization if it is an entity other than a limited partnership or corporation. 
  
 11.19 Limitation on Recourse to General Partner. 
  
 Except as set forth below, the Agent and the Lenders shall not look to the
General Partner for the payment of the Obligations and the performance of the Loan Parties’ (or the Parent’s) other obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that the Agent and the Lenders shall have the
right to look to the General Partner on a joint and several basis for, and the General Partner on a joint and several basis shall indemnify, and hold harmless, the Agent and the Lenders from, any loss, damage, liability, claim, cost or expense
(including reasonable attorneys’ fees) that the Agent or any Lender may incur as a result of and to the extent caused by (i) any representation or warranty made by the Parent, any Loan Party, or the General Partner herein or in any other Loan
Document or in any certificate, schedule, statement, report, notice or other writing furnished or made to the Agent or the Lenders in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is untrue in any material respect, or (ii) any
misappropriation of assets, rights, rents, profits, issues, income or other properties or revenues of the Parent, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries by the General Partner.
