(a) if the Borrower fails to provide the Officer’s Compliance Certificate as required by Section 7.1(i) for the most recently ended fiscal quarter of the Borrower preceding the applicable Calculation Date, the Applicable Margin

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any Financial Statement or Officer’s Compliance Certificate delivered pursuant to
Section 7.1 is shown to be inaccurate, and such inaccuracy, if corrected, would have led to the application of a higher Applicable Margin for any period (an “Applicable Period”) than the Applicable Margin applied
for such Applicable Period, then (x) the Borrower shall promptly deliver to the Agent a corrected Officer’s Compliance Certificate for such Applicable Period, (y) the Applicable Margin for such Applicable Period shall be determined as
if the Consolidated Funded Debt Ratio in the corrected Officer’s Compliance Certificate were applicable for such Applicable Period, and (z) the Borrower shall retroactively be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent the accrued
additional interest and fees owing as a result of such increased Applicable Margin for such Applicable Period, which payment shall be promptly applied by the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 4.4. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, so long as an Event of Default under Section 10.1(h) or (i) has not occurred with respect to Borrower, then such shortfall shall be due and payable within 5 Business Days after the determination described above.
Nothing in this paragraph shall limit the rights of the Administrative Agent and Lenders with respect to Sections 4.1(c) and 10.2 nor any of their other rights under this Agreement.

Percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Credit Loans requested on such occasion. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow Revolving Credit Loans hereunder until the Maturity Date. 

SECTION 2.2 Swingline Loans. 

(a) Availability. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Swingline Lender agrees to make Swingline Loans to the
Borrower from time to time from the Closing Date through, but not including, the Maturity Date; provided, that the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Swingline Loans (after giving effect to any amount requested), shall not exceed
the lesser of (i) the Revolving Credit Commitment less the sum of all outstanding Revolving Credit Loans and the L/C Obligations and (ii) the Swingline Commitment. 

(b) Refunding. 

(i) Swingline Loans shall be refunded by the Revolving Credit Lenders on demand by the Swingline Lender. Such refundings shall
be made by the Revolving Credit Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages and shall thereafter be reflected as Revolving Credit Loans of the Revolving Credit Lenders on the books and records of the

 38

obligation to fund its respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of a Swingline Loan shall be affected by any other Revolving Credit Lender’s failure to fund its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of a Swingline Loan, nor shall any
Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage be increased as a result of any such failure of any other Revolving Credit Lender to fund its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of a Swingline Loan. 

(ii) The Borrower shall pay to the Swingline Lender on demand the amount of such Swingline Loans to the extent amounts received
from the Revolving Credit Lenders are not sufficient to repay in full the outstanding Swingline Loans requested or required to be refunded. In addition, the Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to charge any account maintained by the
Borrower with the Swingline Lender (up to the amount available therein) in order to immediately pay the Swingline Lender the amount of such Swingline Loans to the extent amounts received from the Revolving Credit Lenders are not sufficient to repay

loss of the amount so recovered shall be ratably shared among all the Revolving Credit Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages (unless the amounts so recovered by or on behalf of the Borrower pertain to a
Swingline Loan extended after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default of which the Administrative Agent has received notice in the manner required pursuant to Section 12.1 and which such Event of Default has not
been waived by the Required Lenders or the Lenders, as applicable). 
 (iii) Each Revolving Credit Lender acknowledges and
agrees that its obligation to refund Swingline Loans in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.2 is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including, without limitation, non-satisfaction
of the conditions set forth in Article V. Further, each Revolving Credit Lender agrees and acknowledges that if prior to the refunding of any outstanding Swingline Loans pursuant to this Section 2.2, one of the events described in
Section 10.1(h) or (i) shall have occurred, each Revolving Credit Lender will, on the date the applicable Revolving Credit Loan would have been made, purchase an undivided participating interest in the Swingline Loan to be
refunded in an amount equal to its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the aggregate amount of such Swingline Loan. Each Revolving Credit Lender will immediately transfer to the Swingline Lender, in immediately available funds, the amount of
its participation and upon receipt thereof the Swingline Lender will deliver to such Revolving Credit Lender a certificate evidencing such participation dated the date of receipt of such funds and for such amount. Whenever, at any time after the
Swingline Lender has received from any Revolving Credit Lender such Revolving Credit Lender’s participating interest in a 

  
 39 

 
Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender receives any payment on account thereof, the Swingline Lender will distribute to such Revolving Credit Lender its participating interest in such amount
(appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Revolving Credit Lender’s participating interest was outstanding and funded). 

(c) Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.2, the Swingline Lender shall
not be obligated to make any Swingline Loans at a time when any other Revolving Credit Lender is a Defaulting Lender, unless the Swingline Lender has entered into arrangements satisfactory to it to eliminate the Swingline Lender’s risk with
respect to any such Defaulting Lender’s funding obligations hereunder. If any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, and any Swingline Loans remain outstanding at such time, then all or any part of such Swingline Loans shall be reallocated among
the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages but only to the extent (i) the sum of all Non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Credit Outstandings does not exceed the total of all
Non-Defaulting Lenders’ Commitments and (ii) the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 (other than clause (c) thereof) are satisfied at such time. If the reallocation described in the foregoing sentence cannot, or can only
partially, be effected, within five (5) Business Days of written demand by the Swingline Lender or the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall prepay the Swingline Loans in an amount equal to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit
Commitment Percentage of all outstanding Swingline Loans.

proceeds of any Revolving Credit Loan requested pursuant to this Section 2.3 to the extent that any Revolving Credit Lender has not made available to the Administrative Agent its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of such Loan.
Revolving Credit Loans to be made for the purpose of refunding Swingline Loans shall be made by the Revolving Credit Lenders as provided in Section 2.2(b). 

SECTION 2.4 Repayment and Prepayment of Revolving Credit and Swingline Loans. 

(a) Repayment on Termination Date. The Borrower hereby agrees to repay the outstanding principal amount of (i) all Revolving Credit
Loans in full on the Maturity Date, and (ii) all Swingline Loans in accordance with Section 2.2(b)(ii) (but, in any event, no later than the Maturity Date), together, in each case, with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon. 

(b) Optional Prepayments. The Borrower may at any time and from time to time prepay Revolving Credit Loans and Swingline Loans,
in whole or in part, with irrevocable prior written notice to the Administrative Agent substantially in the form attached as Exhibit D (a “Notice of Prepayment”) given not later than 11:00 a.m. (i) on the same
Business Day as each Base Rate Loan and each Swingline Loan and (ii) at least three (3) Business Days before each LIBOR Rate Loan, specifying the date and amount of prepayment and whether the prepayment is of LIBOR Rate Loans, Base Rate
Loans, Swingline Loans or a combination thereof, and, if of a combination thereof, the amount allocable to each; provided that a notice of prepayment in connection with a termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments may state that such notice is
conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Upon
receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Credit Lender. If any such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date set forth in such notice (unless such notice
is revoked as set forth above or amended by the Borrower prior to the payment date set forth in such notice). Partial  

  
 41 

 
prepayments shall be (A) with respect to Base Rate Loans (other than Swingline Loans), in an aggregate amount of $3,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, (B) with
respect to LIBOR Rate Loans, $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (C) with respect to Swingline Loans, $100,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. A Notice of Prepayment received after 11:00 a.m.
shall be deemed received on the next Business Day. Each such repayment shall be accompanied by any amount required to be paid pursuant to Section 4.9 hereof. 

(c) Limitation on Prepayment of LIBOR Rate Loans. The Borrower may not prepay any LIBOR Rate Loan on any day other than on the last day
of the Interest Period applicable thereto unless such prepayment is accompanied by any amount required to be paid pursuant to Section 4.9 hereof. 

(d) Hedging Agreements. No repayment or prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.4 shall affect any of the Borrower’s
obligations under any Hedging Agreement. 
 SECTION 2.5 Permanent Reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitment. 

(a) Voluntary Reduction. The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time, upon at least five (5) Business Days
prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, to permanently reduce, without premium or penalty, (i) the entire Revolving Credit Commitment at any time or (ii) portions of the Revolving Credit Commitment, from time to time, in an
aggregate principal amount not less than $3,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. Any reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitment shall be applied to the Revolving Credit Commitment of each Revolving Credit Lender according
to its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage. All commitment fees accrued until the effective date of any termination of the Revolving Credit Commitment shall be paid on the effective date of such termination. 

(b) Corresponding Payment. Each permanent reduction pursuant to Section 2.5(a) shall be accompanied by a payment of
principal sufficient to reduce the aggregate outstanding Revolving Credit Loans, Swingline Loans and L/C Obligations, as applicable, after such reduction to the Revolving Credit Commitment as so reduced and if the Revolving Credit Commitment as so
reduced is less than the aggregate amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit, the Borrower shall be required to deposit cash collateral in a cash collateral account opened by the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the aggregate L/C
Obligations then outstanding. Such cash collateral shall be applied in accordance with Section 10.2(b). Any reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitment to zero shall be accompanied by payment of all outstanding Revolving Credit Loans
and Swingline Loans (and furnishing of cash collateral reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent for all L/C Obligations (provided that the amount of such cash collateral shall not exceed 102% of any outstanding L/C Obligations)) and shall
result in the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitment and the Swingline Commitment and the Revolver Facility. If the reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitment requires the repayment of any LIBOR Rate Loan, such repayment shall be
accompanied by any amount required to be paid pursuant to Section 4.9 hereof. 

  
 42 

 SECTION 2.6 Mandatory Prepayments. The Loans shall be prepaid as follows: 

(a) Revolving Credit Outstandings Exceed Revolving Credit Commitments. If at any time the Revolving Credit Outstandings exceed the
Revolving Credit Commitment, the Borrower agrees to repay immediately upon notice from the Administrative Agent, by payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Revolving Credit Lenders, Extensions of Credit in an amount equal to such
excess with each such repayment applied first, to the principal amount of outstanding Swingline Loans, second to the principal amount of outstanding Revolving Credit Loans and third, with respect to any Letters of Credit then outstanding, a payment
of cash collateral into a cash collateral account opened by the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Revolving Credit Lenders, in an amount equal to the aggregate L/C Obligations then outstanding (such cash collateral to be applied in
accordance with Section 10.2(b)). 
 (b) Debt Issuances. The Borrower shall prepay the outstanding principal amount of
Loans in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the aggregate Net Cash Proceeds from any Debt Issuance by the Borrower or any of its Consolidated Subsidiaries not permitted pursuant to this Agreement. Such prepayment shall be made
within five (5) Business Days after the date of receipt of the Net Cash Proceeds of any such Debt Issuance. 
 (c) Asset
Dispositions. The Borrower shall prepay the outstanding principal amount of Loans in amounts equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the aggregate Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Disposition by any Credit Party. Such prepayments shall be
made within five (5) Business Days after the date of receipt of the Net Cash Proceeds of any such Asset Disposition by such Credit Party; provided that (A) so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no
prepayments of aggregate Net Cash Proceeds from Asset Dispositions shall be required hereunder to the extent such Net Cash Proceeds are reinvested in replacement assets useful in the ordinary course of the business of the Borrower and its
Consolidated Subsidiaries within three hundred sixty (360) days after receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds by the Borrower or such Subsidiary (which reinvestment period may be extended for one hundred eighty (180) days if a commitment for
reinvestment is entered into by the Borrower or a Consolidated Subsidiary during such original three hundred sixty (360) day period); provided, however, that any portion of the Net Cash Proceeds not actually reinvested within the
applicable time period shall be prepaid in accordance with this Section 2.6 and (B) no prepayments of the Loans shall be required in connection with Asset Dispositions permitted pursuant to Section 9.5 (other than
Asset Dispositions pursuant to Section 9.5(k)). 
 (d) Insurance and Condemnation Events. The Borrower shall prepay the
outstanding principal amount of Loans in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the aggregate Net Cash Proceeds from any Insurance and Condemnation Event by any Credit Party. Such prepayments shall be made within three (3)
Business Days after the date of receipt of Net Cash Proceeds of any such Insurance and Condemnation Event by such Credit Party; provided that, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no prepayments of Net
Cash Proceeds from Insurance and Condemnation Events shall be required hereunder to the extent such Net Cash Proceeds are reinvested within three hundred sixty (360)

  
 43 

 
days after receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds by the Borrower or any of its Consolidated Subsidiaries in replacements assets useful in the ordinary course of the business of the Borrower and its
Consolidated Subsidiaries (which reinvestment period may be extended for one hundred eighty (180) days if a commitment for reinvestment is entered into by the Borrower or a Consolidated Subsidiary during such original three hundred sixty
(360) day period); provided, however, that any portion of the Net Cash Proceeds not actually reinvested within the applicable time period shall be prepaid in accordance with this Section 2.6. 

(e) Notice; Manner of Payment. Upon the occurrence of any event triggering a prepayment requirement under this Section 2.6,
the Borrower shall promptly deliver a Notice of Prepayment to the Administrative Agent and upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly so notify the Lenders.

Maturity Date. 
 ARTICLE III 

LETTER OF CREDIT FACILITY 

SECTION 3.1 L/C Commitment. 

(a) Availability. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Issuing Bank, in reliance on the agreements of the other
Lenders set forth in Section 3.4(a), agrees to issue standby letters of credit (the “Letters of Credit”) for the account of the Borrower on any Business Day from the Closing Date through but not including the
fifth (5th) Business Day prior to the Maturity Date in such form as may be approved from time to time by the Issuing Bank; provided, that the Issuing Bank shall have no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if, after
giving effect to such issuance, (i) the L/C Obligations would exceed the L/C Commitment or (ii) the Revolving Credit Outstandings would exceed the Revolving Credit Commitment. Each Letter of Credit shall (A) be denominated in Dollars,
(B) be a standby letter of credit issued to support obligations of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, contingent or otherwise, incurred in the ordinary course of business, (C) expire on a date no more than twelve (12) months
after the date of issuance or last renewal of such Letter of Credit (subject to automatic renewal for additional one (1) year periods pursuant to the terms of the Letter of Credit Agreement or other documentation acceptable to the Issuing
Bank), which date shall be no later than the fifth (5th) Business Day prior to the Maturity Date and (D) be subject to the Uniform Customs and/or ISP98, as set forth in the Letter of Credit Agreement or as determined by the Issuing Bank
and, to the extent not inconsistent therewith, the laws of the State of New York. The Issuing Bank shall not at any time be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit hereunder if such issuance would conflict with, or cause the Issuing Bank or any L/C
Participant to exceed any limits imposed by, any Applicable Law. References herein to “issue” and derivations thereof with respect to Letters of Credit shall also include extensions or modifications of any outstanding Letters of Credit,
unless the context otherwise requires. As of the Closing Date, each of the Existing Letters of Credit shall constitute, for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, a Letter of Credit issued and outstanding hereunder. 

  
 44 

 (b) Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Section 3.1, the Issuing Bank shall not be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit at a time when any other Lender is a Defaulting Lender, unless the Issuing Bank has entered into arrangements reasonably satisfactory to it to eliminate
the Issuing Bank’s risk with respect to any such Defaulting Lender’s reimbursement obligations hereunder, including by cash collateralizing such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the liability with respect
to such Letter of Credit. If any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, and any L/C Obligations exist at such time, then all or any part of such L/C Obligations shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective
Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages but only to the extent (i) the sum of all Non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Credit Outstandings does not exceed the total of all Non-Defaulting Lenders’ Commitments and (ii) the conditions
set forth in Section 5.2 (other than clause (c) thereof) are satisfied at such time. If the reallocation described in the foregoing sentence cannot, or can only partially, be effected, on demand by the Issuing Bank or the Administrative
Agent, the Borrower shall cash collateralize each Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the outstanding L/C Obligations on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank. Any such cash
collateral shall be deposited in a separate account with the Administrative Agent, subject to the exclusive dominion and control of the Administrative Agent, as collateral (solely for the benefit of the Issuing Bank) for the payment and performance
of each Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of outstanding Letters of Credit. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank immediately for each Defaulting Lender’s
Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of any drawing under any Letter of Credit which has not otherwise been reimbursed by the Borrower or such Defaulting Lender pursuant to the terms of this Section 3.1 and any amount remaining in such
account after the reimbursement of such amounts shall be promptly returned to the Borrower. 
 SECTION 3.2 Procedure for Issuance of
Letters of Credit. The Borrower may from time to time request that the Issuing Bank issue a Letter of Credit by delivering to the Issuing Bank at the Administrative Agent’s Office a Letter of Credit Agreement therefor, completed to the
satisfaction of the Issuing Bank, and such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as the Issuing Bank may request. Upon receipt of any Letter of Credit Agreement, the Issuing Bank shall process such Letter of Credit Agreement
and the certificates, documents and other papers and information delivered to it in connection therewith in accordance with its customary procedures and shall, subject to Section 3.1 and Article V, promptly issue the Letter of
Credit requested thereby (but in no event shall the Issuing Bank be required to issue any Letter of Credit earlier than three (3) Business Days after its receipt of the Letter of Credit Agreement therefor and all such other certificates,
documents and other papers and information relating thereto) by issuing the original of such Letter of Credit to the beneficiary thereof or as otherwise may be agreed by the Issuing Bank and the Borrower. The Issuing Bank shall promptly furnish to
the Borrower a copy of such Letter of Credit and promptly notify each Revolving Credit Lender of the issuance and upon request by any Revolving Credit Lender, furnish to such Lender a copy of such Letter of Credit and the amount of such Revolving
Credit Lender’s participation therein. 

  
 45 

 SECTION 3.3 Commissions and Other Charges. 

(a) Letter of Credit Commissions. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Bank and the L/C
Participants (other than a Defaulting Lender), a letter of credit commission with respect to each Letter of Credit in the amount equal to the face amount of such Letter of Credit multiplied by the Applicable Margin with respect to Revolving Credit
Loans that are LIBOR Rate Loans (determined on a per annum basis), provided that each Letter of Credit bear a minimum commission of $500. Such commission shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter,
on the Maturity Date and thereafter on demand of the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, distribute to the Issuing Bank and the L/C Participants all commissions received pursuant to this
Section 3.3 in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages. 
 (b) Fronting Fee. In addition
to the foregoing commission, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Bank, a fronting fee with respect to each Letter of Credit at a rate per annum of 12.5 basis points (0.125%). Such issuance fee shall be
payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Maturity Date and thereafter on demand of the Administrative Agent. 

(c) Other Costs. In addition to the foregoing fees and commissions, the Borrower shall pay or reimburse the Issuing Bank for such normal
and customary costs and expenses as are incurred or charged by the Issuing Bank in issuing, effecting payment under, amending or otherwise administering any Letter of Credit. 

SECTION 3.4 L/C Participations. 

(a) The Issuing Bank irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each L/C Participant, and, to induce the Issuing Bank to issue Letters of
Credit hereunder, each L/C Participant irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from the Issuing Bank, on the terms and conditions hereinafter stated, for such L/C Participant’s own account and risk an
undivided interest equal to such L/C Participant’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage in the Issuing Bank’s obligations and rights under and in respect of each Letter of Credit issued hereunder and the amount of each draft paid by the
Issuing Bank thereunder. Each L/C Participant unconditionally and irrevocably agrees with the Issuing Bank that, if a draft is paid under any Letter of Credit for which the Issuing Bank is not reimbursed in full by the Borrower through a Revolving
Credit Loan or otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such L/C Participant shall pay to the Issuing Bank upon demand at the Issuing Bank’s address for notices specified herein an amount equal to such L/C Participant’s
Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the amount of such draft, or any part thereof, which is not so reimbursed. 

  
 46 

 (b) Upon becoming aware of any amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant to the Issuing
Bank pursuant to Section 3.4(a) in respect of any unreimbursed portion of any payment made by the Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank shall notify each L/C Participant of the amount and due date of such required
payment and such L/C Participant shall pay to the Issuing Bank the amount specified on the applicable due date. If any such amount is paid to the Issuing Bank after the date such payment is due, such L/C Participant shall pay to the Issuing Bank on
demand, in addition to such amount, the product of (i) such amount, times (ii) the daily average Federal Funds Rate as determined by the Administrative Agent during the period from and including the date such payment is due to the
date on which such payment is immediately available to the Issuing Bank, times (iii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse during such period and the denominator of which is 360. A certificate of the Issuing
Bank with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 3.4 shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. With respect to payment to the Issuing Bank of the unreimbursed amounts described in this Section 3.4, if the
L/C Participants receive notice that any such payment is due (A) prior to 1:00 p.m. on any Business Day, such payment shall be due that Business Day, and (B) after 1:00 p.m. on any Business Day, such payment shall be due on the following
Business Day. 
 (c) Whenever, at any time after the Issuing Bank has made payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any L/C
Participant its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of such payment in accordance with this Section 3.4, the Issuing Bank receives any payment related to such Letter of Credit (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise), or any
payment of interest on account thereof, the Issuing Bank will distribute to such L/C Participant its pro rata share thereof; provided, that in the event that any such payment received by the Issuing Bank shall be required to be returned by
the Issuing Bank, such L/C Participant shall return to the Issuing Bank the portion thereof previously distributed by the Issuing Bank to it. 

SECTION 3.5 Reimbursement Obligation of the Borrower. In the event of any drawing under any Letter of Credit, the Borrower agrees
to reimburse (either with the proceeds of a Revolving Credit Loan as provided for in this Section 3.5 or with funds from other sources), in same day funds, the Issuing Bank within 5 Business Days of when the Issuing Bank notifies
the Borrower in writing of the date and amount of a draft paid under any Letter of Credit for the amount of (a) such draft so paid and (b) any amounts referred to in Section 3.3(c) incurred by the Issuing Bank in connection
with such payment. Unless the Borrower shall notify the Issuing Bank within one Business Day of receipt of such written notice from the Issuing Bank that the Borrower intends to reimburse the Issuing Bank for such drawing from other sources or
funds, the Borrower shall be deemed to have timely given a Notice of Borrowing to the Administrative Agent requesting that the Revolving Credit Lenders make a Revolving Credit Loan bearing interest at the Base Rate on such date in the amount of
(a) such draft so paid and (b) any amounts referred to in Section 3.3(c) incurred by the Issuing Bank in connection with such payment, and 

  
 47 

 
the Revolving Credit Lenders shall make a Revolving Credit Loan bearing interest at the Base Rate in such amount, the proceeds of which shall be applied to reimburse the Issuing Bank for the
amount of the related drawing and costs and expenses. Each Revolving Credit Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to fund a Revolving Credit Loan in accordance with this Section 3.5 to reimburse the Issuing Bank for any
draft paid under a Letter of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including, without limitation, non-satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 2.3(a) or Article
V. If the Borrower has elected to pay the amount of such drawing with funds from other sources and shall fail to reimburse the Issuing Bank as provided above, the unreimbursed amount of such drawing shall bear interest at the rate which would be
payable on any outstanding Base Rate Loans which were then overdue from the date such amounts become payable (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) until payment in full. 

SECTION 3.6 Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligations under this Article III (including, without limitation,
the Reimbursement Obligation) shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any set off, counterclaim or defense to payment which the Borrower may have or have had against the Issuing Bank or any beneficiary
of a Letter of Credit or any other Person. The Borrower also agrees that the Issuing Bank and the L/C Participants shall not be responsible for, and the Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligation under Section 3.5 shall not be affected by,
among other things, the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even though such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among the Borrower and any beneficiary of any
Letter of Credit or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred or any claims whatsoever of the Borrower against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such transferee. The Issuing Bank shall not be liable for any
error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit, except for errors or omissions caused by the Issuing Bank’s gross negligence or
willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final non-appealable judgment. The Borrower agrees that any action taken or omitted by the Issuing Bank under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or the related drafts
or documents, if done in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct shall be binding on the Borrower and shall not result in any liability of the Issuing Bank or any L/C Participant to the Borrower. The responsibility of the Issuing Bank
to the Borrower in connection with any draft presented for payment under any Letter of Credit shall, in addition to any payment obligation expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit, be limited to determining that the documents (including each
draft) delivered under such Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment are in conformity with such Letter of Credit. 

SECTION 3.7 Effect of Letter of Credit Agreement. To the extent that any provision of any Letter of Credit Agreement related to
any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall apply. 

  
 48 

 ARTICLE IV 

GENERAL LOAN PROVISIONS 

SECTION 4.1 Interest. 

(a) Interest Rate Options. Subject to the provisions of this Section 4.1, at the election of the Borrower,
(i) Revolving Credit Loans shall bear interest at (A) the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin or (B) the LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Margin and (ii) any Swingline Loan shall bear interest at the Base Rate
plus the Applicable Margin. The Borrower shall select the rate of interest and Interest Period, if any, applicable to any Loan at the time a Notice of Borrowing is given or at the time a Notice of Conversion/Continuation is given pursuant to
Section 4.2. Any Loan or any portion thereof as to which the Borrower has not duly specified an interest rate as provided herein shall be deemed a Base Rate Loan. 

(b) Interest Periods. In connection with each LIBOR Rate Loan, the Borrower, by giving notice at the times described in
Section 2.3 or 4.2, as applicable, shall elect an interest period (each, an “Interest Period”) to be applicable to such Loan, which Interest Period shall be a period of one (1), two (2),
three (3), or six (6) months or, if agreed by all of the relevant Lenders, twelve (12) months; provided that: 

(i) the Interest Period shall commence on the date of advance of or conversion to any LIBOR Rate Loan and, in the case of
immediately successive Interest Periods, each successive Interest Period shall commence on the date on which the immediately preceding Interest Period expires; 

(ii) if any Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Period shall expire on
the next succeeding Business Day; provided, that if any Interest Period with respect to a LIBOR Rate Loan would otherwise expire on a day that is not a Business Day but is a day of the month after which no further Business Day occurs in such
month, such Interest Period shall expire on the immediately preceding Business Day; 
 (iii) any Interest Period with respect
to a LIBOR Rate Loan that begins on the last Business Day of a calendar month (or on a day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period) shall end on the last Business Day of the
relevant calendar month at the end of such Interest Period; and 
 (iv) no Interest Period shall extend beyond the Maturity
Date and Interest Periods shall be selected by the Borrower so as to permit the Borrower to make without payment of any amounts pursuant to Section 4.9. 

(c) Post-Default Rate. Subject to Section 10.3, immediately and automatically upon the occurrence and during the continuance
of an Event of Default under 

  
 49 

 
Section 10.1(a), (b), (h) or (i), (A) the Borrower shall no longer have the option to request LIBOR Rate Loans, Swingline Loans or Letters of Credit,
(B) all outstanding LIBOR Rate Loans shall bear interest at a rate per annum of two percent (2%) in excess of the rate (including the Applicable Margin) then applicable to LIBOR Rate Loans, and (C) all outstanding Base Rate Loans and
other Obligations arising hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to two percent (2%) in excess of the rate (including the Applicable Margin) then applicable to Base Rate Loans; provided that
Defaulting Lenders shall not be entitled to such increased interest rates. Interest shall continue to accrue on the Obligations after the filing by or against the Borrower of any petition seeking any relief in bankruptcy or under any act or law
pertaining to insolvency or debtor relief, whether state, federal or foreign. 
 (d) Interest Payment and Computation. Interest on
each Base Rate Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on the last Business Day of each fiscal quarter commencing September 30, 2014; and interest on each LIBOR Rate Loan shall be due and payable on the last day of each Interest Period
applicable thereto, and if such Interest Period extends over three (3) months, at the end of each three (3) month interval during such Interest Period. All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans when the Base Rate is determined by
the Prime Rate shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest provided hereunder shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed
(which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365/366-day year). 
 (e) Maximum
Rate. In no contingency or event whatsoever shall the aggregate of all amounts deemed interest under this Agreement charged or collected pursuant to the terms of this Agreement exceed the highest rate permissible under any Applicable Law which a
court of competent jurisdiction shall, in a final determination, deem applicable hereto. In the event that such a court determines that the Lenders have charged or received interest hereunder in excess of the highest applicable rate, the rate in
effect hereunder shall automatically be reduced to the maximum rate permitted by Applicable Law and the Lenders shall at the Administrative Agent’s option (i) promptly refund to the Borrower any interest received by the Lenders in excess
of the maximum lawful rate or (ii) apply such excess to the principal balance of the Obligations on a pro rata basis. It is the intent hereof that the Borrower not pay or contract to pay, and that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender
receive or contract to receive, directly or indirectly in any manner whatsoever, interest in excess of that which may be paid by the Borrower under Applicable Law. 

SECTION 4.2 Notice and Manner of Conversion or Continuation of Loans. The Borrower shall have the option to (a) provided that
no Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, convert at any time following the third Business Day after the Closing Date all or any portion of any outstanding Base Rate Loans (other than Swingline Loans) in a principal amount equal to
$5,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof into one or more LIBOR Rate Loans and (b) upon the expiration of any Interest Period, (i) convert all or any part of its outstanding LIBOR Rate Loans in a principal amount
equal to $3,000,000 or a whole 

  
 50 

 
multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof into Base Rate Loans (other than Swingline Loans) or (ii) provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, continue such
LIBOR Rate Loans as LIBOR Rate Loans. Whenever the Borrower desires to convert or continue Loans as provided above, the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable prior written notice in the form attached as
Exhibit E. (a “Notice of Conversion/Continuation”) not later than 11:00 a.m. three (3) Business Days before the day on which a proposed conversion or continuation of such Loan is to be effective
specifying (A) the Loans to be converted or continued, and, in the case of any LIBOR Rate Loan to be converted or continued, the last day of the Interest Period therefor, (B) the effective date of such conversion or continuation (which
shall be a Business Day), (C) the principal amount of such Loans to be converted or continued, and (D) the Interest Period to be applicable to such converted or continued LIBOR Rate Loan; provided, that if the Borrower shall fail to give
any required Notice of Conversion/Continuation with respect to any LIBOR Rate Loan then, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such Loan shall be automatically continued as LIBOR Rate Loans with an Interest Period of one
month on the last day of such then expiring Interest Period. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the affected Lenders of such Notice of Conversion/Continuation. 

SECTION 4.3 Fees. 

(a) Commitment Fee. Commencing on the Closing Date, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Revolving
Credit Lenders (other than any Defaulting Lender), a non-refundable commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”) at a rate per annum equal to the Commitment Fee Rate on the average daily unused portion of the Revolving Credit
Commitment of the Revolving Credit Lenders (other than the Defaulting Lenders, if any). The Commitment Fee shall be payable in arrears on the last Business Day of each fiscal quarter during the term of this Agreement commencing September 30,
2014 and ending on the Maturity Date. Such Commitment Fee shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent to the Revolving Credit Lenders (other than any Defaulting Lender) pro rata in accordance with such Revolving Credit Lenders’ respective
Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages. 
 (b) Other Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Arranger and the Administrative Agent for
their own respective accounts fees in the amounts and at the times specified in the Fee Letter. The Borrower shall pay to the Lenders such fees as shall have been separately agreed upon in writing in the amounts and at the times so specified. 

SECTION 4.4 Manner of Payment. 

(a) Sharing of Payments. Each payment by the Borrower on account of the principal of or interest on the Loans or of any fee, commission
or other amounts (including the Reimbursement Obligation) payable to the Lenders under this Agreement (or any of them) shall be made not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date specified for payment under this Agreement to the Administrative Agent at the
Administrative Agent’s Office for the account of the Lenders entitled to such payment in Dollars, in immediately available funds and shall be made without 

  
 51 

 
any set off, counterclaim or deduction whatsoever. Any payment received after such time but before 2:00 p.m. Charlotte, North Carolina time on such day shall be deemed a payment on such date for
the purposes of Section 10.1, but for all other purposes shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day. Any payment received after 2:00 p.m. Charlotte, North Carolina time shall be deemed to have been made on the
next succeeding Business Day for all purposes. Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of each such payment, the Administrative Agent shall distribute to each such Lender at its address for notices set forth herein its pro rata share of such
payment in accordance with the amounts then due and payable to such Lenders, (except as specified below) and shall wire advice of the amount of such credit to each Lender. Each payment to the Administrative Agent on account of the principal of or
interest on the Swingline Loans or of any fee, commission or other amounts payable to the Swingline Lender shall be made in like manner, but for the account of the Swingline Lender. Each payment to the Administrative Agent of the Issuing Bank’s
fees or L/C Participants’ commissions shall be made in like manner, but for the account of the Issuing Bank or the L/C Participants, as the case may be. Each payment to the Administrative Agent of Administrative Agent’s fees or expenses
shall be made for the account of the Administrative Agent and any amount payable to any Lender under Sections 4.9, 4.10, 4.11 or 12.3 shall be paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable
Lender. Subject to Section 4.1(b)(ii), if any payment under this Agreement shall be specified to be made upon a day which is not a Business Day, it shall be made on the next succeeding day which is a Business Day and such extension of
time shall in such case be included in computing any interest if payable along with such payment. 
 (b) Defaulting Lenders.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any payment of
principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by
the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment, on a pro rata basis, of any amounts owing by such Defaulting
Lender to the Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender hereunder; third, to cash collateralize such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of outstanding Letters of Credit in accordance with Section 3.1(b);
fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the
Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations
with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) cash collateralize such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 3.1(b);
sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender against such
Defaulting Lender as a 

  
 52 

 
result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the
Borrower as a result of any final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and
eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or reimbursement
obligations with respect to Letters of Credit in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set
forth in Section 5.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and reimbursement obligations with respect to Letters of Credit owed to, all each Revolving Credit Lender that is not a Defaulting
Lender (each, a “Non-Defaulting Lender”) on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or reimbursement obligations with respect to Letters of Credit owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such
time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the applicable Commitments without giving effect to any reallocations made pursuant to
Section 2.2(c) or Section 3.1(b). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post cash collateral in
accordance with this Section 4.4(b) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto. 

SECTION 4.5 Evidence of Indebtedness. 

(a) Extensions of Credit. The Extensions of Credit made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained
by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Extensions of Credit
made by the Lenders to the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect
to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent
shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Revolving Credit Note and/or Swingline
Note, as applicable, which shall evidence such Lender’s Revolving Credit Loans and/or Swingline Loans, as applicable, in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Notes and endorse thereon the date, amount
and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto. 

  
 53 

 (b) Participations. In addition to the accounts and records referred to in
Section 4.5(a), each Revolving Credit Lender and the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records evidencing the purchases and sales by such Revolving Credit Lender of participations in
Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Revolving Credit Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and
records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. 
 SECTION 4.6 Adjustments. If any Lender
shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or other obligations hereunder resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of
the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon or other such obligations (other than pursuant to Sections 4.9, 4.10, 4.11 or 12.3) greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the
Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and such other obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other
adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them;
provided that 
 (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise
thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and 

(ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to (A) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to
and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or (B) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit
to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). 
 Each
Credit Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under Applicable Law and in accordance with this Agreement, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise
against each Credit Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of each Credit Party in the amount of such participation. 

SECTION 4.7 Obligations of Lenders. 

(a) Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender
prior to the proposed date of any borrowing, or with respect to same day borrowings prior to 11:00 a.m. on the date of such borrowing, that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such borrowing,
the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.3(b) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such
event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, 

  
 54 

 
then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including
the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the daily average Federal Funds Rate and a rate
determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans. If the Borrower and such
Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its
share of the applicable borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have
against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent. 
 (b) Nature of Obligations of Lenders
Regarding Extensions of Credit. The obligations of the Lenders under this Agreement to make the Loans and issue or participate in Letters of Credit are several and are not joint or joint and several. The failure of any Lender to make available
its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of any Revolving Credit Loan requested by the Borrower shall not relieve it or any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of such Loan available
on the borrowing date, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of such Loan available on the borrowing date. 

SECTION 4.8 Changed Circumstances. 

(a) Circumstances Affecting LIBOR Rate Availability. In connection with any request for a LIBOR Rate Loan or a conversion to or
continuation thereof, if for any reason (i) the Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank
Eurodollar market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Loan, (ii) the Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that reasonable and adequate means do not
exist for the ascertaining the LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period with respect to a proposed LIBOR Rate Loan or (iii) the Required Lenders shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that the
LIBOR Rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining such Loans during such Interest Period, then the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to the Borrower. Thereafter, until the
Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that such circumstances no longer exist, the obligation of the Lenders to make LIBOR Rate Loans and the right of the Borrower to convert any Loan to or continue any Loan as a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be
suspended, and in the case of LIBOR Rate Loans, the Borrower shall either (A) repay in full (or cause to be repaid in full) the then outstanding principal amount of each such LIBOR Rate Loan together with accrued interest thereon (subject to
Section 4.1(d)), on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loan; or (B) convert the then outstanding principal amount of each such LIBOR Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan as of the last day of
such Interest Period. 

  
 55 

 (b) Laws Affecting LIBOR Rate Availability. If, after the date hereof, the introduction
of, or any change in, any Applicable Law or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any
of the Lenders (or any of their respective Lending Offices) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency, shall make it unlawful or impossible for any of
the Lenders (or any of their respective Lending Offices) to honor its obligations hereunder to make or maintain any LIBOR Rate Loan, such Lender shall promptly give notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall
promptly give notice to the Borrower and the other Lenders. Thereafter, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that such circumstances no longer exist the obligations of the Lenders to make LIBOR Rate Loans, and the right of the
Borrower to convert any Loan or continue any Loan as a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be suspended and thereafter the Borrower may select only Base Rate Loans. 

SECTION 4.9 Indemnity. The Borrower hereby indemnifies each of the Lenders against any loss or expense which may arise or be
attributable to each Lender’s obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits or other funds acquired to effect, fund or maintain any Loan (a) as a consequence of any failure by the Borrower to make any payment when due of any amount due
hereunder in connection with a LIBOR Rate Loan, (b) due to any failure of the Borrower to borrow or continue a LIBOR Rate Loan or convert a Base Rate Loan to a LIBOR Rate Loan on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of
Conversion/Continuation or (c) due to any payment, prepayment or conversion of any LIBOR Rate Loan on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor including without limitation due to any assignment required by the Borrower
pursuant to Section 4.12(b) hereof. The amount of such loss or expense shall be determined, in the applicable Lender’s sole discretion, based upon the assumption that such Lender funded its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of
the LIBOR Rate Loans in the London interbank market and using any reasonable attribution or averaging methods which such Lender deems appropriate and practical. A certificate of such Lender setting forth the basis for determining such amount or
amounts necessary to compensate such Lender shall be forwarded to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent and shall be conclusively presumed to be correct save for manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on
any such certificate within 30 days after receipt thereof. 
 SECTION 4.10 Increased Costs. 

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

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

  
 56 

 (ii) subject any Lender or the Issuing Bank to any tax of any kind whatsoever
with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any participation in a Letter of Credit or any LIBOR Rate Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender or the Issuing Bank in respect thereof (except for
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 4.11 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of any Excluded Tax payable by such Lender or the Issuing Bank); or 

(iii) impose on any Lender or the Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting
this Agreement or LIBOR Rate Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; 
 and the result of any of the foregoing shall be
to increase the cost to such Lender of making, converting into or maintaining any LIBOR Rate Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender or the Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or
maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or the Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal,
interest or any other amount) then, upon written request of such Lender or the Issuing Bank, the Borrower shall promptly pay to any such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender
or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. 
 (b) Capital Requirements. If any
Lender or the Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or the Issuing Bank or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity
requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this
Agreement, the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or the Issuing
Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or the
Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time upon written request of such Lender or such Issuing Bank the Borrower shall promptly pay to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may
be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered (but only to the extent the applicable Lender or Issuing Bank
is imposing such charges or additional amounts on other similarly situated borrowers under credit agreements similar to this Agreement). 

  
 57 

 (c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or the Issuing Bank setting
forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 4.10 and delivered to the Borrower shall be
conclusive absent manifest error; provided that such amount shall have been determined on a reasonable basis. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within
30 days after receipt thereof. 
 (d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Issuing Bank to demand
compensation pursuant to this Section 4.10 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender
or the Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than six (6) months prior to the date that such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law
giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then
the six-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof). 
 SECTION 4.11
Taxes. 
 (a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder or
under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Taxes; provided that if the Borrower shall be required by Applicable Law to deduct any Taxes from such payments, then (i) to the
extent such Taxes are Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 4.11) the Administrative
Agent, the applicable Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall
timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law. 
 (b) Payment of Other
Taxes by the Borrower. Without limiting the provisions of paragraph (a) above, the Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law. 

(c) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the Issuing Bank, for the
full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, and
any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority; provided that the Borrower
shall not be obligated to indemnify the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the 

  
 58 

 
Issuing Bank for any amount in respect of any such penalties, interest or reasonable expenses if written demand therefor was not made by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank
within 180 days from the date on which such party makes payment for such penalties, interest or expenses; provided further that the foregoing limitation shall not apply to any such penalties, interest or reasonable expenses arising out of the
retroactive application of any such Indemnified Tax. Any payment pursuant to such indemnification shall be made within 30 days after demand therefor. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a
Lender or the Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or the Issuing Bank, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

(d) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the
Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 
 (e) Status of Lenders. Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or
reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is resident for tax purposes, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver
to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by
Applicable Law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by
Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting
requirements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is a resident for tax purposes in the United States, any Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of
copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent and upon the
expiration or obsolescence of any such form previously delivered hereunder, but only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable: 

(i) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, claiming eligibility for benefits
of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party, 
 (ii) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form
W-8ECI, 

  
 59 

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

(iv) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form
W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit I-2 or Exhibit I-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable;
provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate
substantially in the form of Exhibit I-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner; and 
 (v) any other form
prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States Federal withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable Law to permit the Borrower
to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made. 
 (f) FATCA. If a payment made to a Lender under this Agreement would
be subject to United States federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender fails to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such
Lender shall deliver to the Withholding Agent, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Withholding Agent, such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by
Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Withholding Agent as may be necessary for the Withholding Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Lender has
complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 4.11(f), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the
date of this Agreement. 
 (g) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If the Administrative Agent, a Lender or the Issuing Bank determines, in
its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it
shall pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of
all out of pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such

  
 60 

 
refund); provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any
penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank in the event the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank is required to repay such refund
to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (g) the payment of which
would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and
the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank to make available its tax returns (or any
other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person. 
 (h) Survival. Without
prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrower contained in this Section shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of the Revolving Credit
Commitment. 
 (i) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days
after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of
the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 12.10 relating to the maintenance of the Participant Register, and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable
to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally
imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the
Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative
Agent under this paragraph (i). 
 SECTION 4.12 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. 

(a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 4.10, or requires the
Borrower to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 4.11, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding
or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable
pursuant to Section 4.10 or Section  

  
 61 

 
4.11, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The
Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment unless the Borrower has exercised its right to replace such Lender pursuant to Section 4.12(b).

 (b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 4.10, or if the Borrower is required to
pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 4.11, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender hereunder or becomes a Non-Consenting Lender, or if any Lender gives
notice pursuant to Section 4.8(b) that it is unable to lend at the LIBOR Rate (and Required Lenders have not given such notice), then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative
Agent (x) require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 12.10), all of its interests, rights and obligations under
this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that: 

(i) the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 12.10; 

(ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in
Letters of Credit, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 4.9) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding
principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts); 
 (iii) in the case of any such
assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 4.10 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 4.11, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and

 (y) so long as no Default or Event

 (j) Within a reasonable time after the effectiveness of any Incremental Facility Amendment, the Administrative Agent
shall, and is hereby authorized and directed to, revise Annex I to reflect such increase and shall distribute such revised Annex I to each of the Lenders and the Borrower, whereupon such revised Annex I shall replace the old

Subsidiaries is engaged principally, or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose, whether immediate, incidental or ultimate, of buying or carrying margin stock (within the meaning of Regulation T, U or
X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) and no part of the proceeds of any Loan hereunder will be used to buy or carry any margin stock. 

SECTION 6.12 Government Regulation. No Credit Party is an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an

has any event or circumstance occurred which, but for the expiration of any applicable grace period or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute a default under any material agreement to which the Borrower or any of its Consolidated
Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Borrower or any of its Consolidated Subsidiaries is bound, except for any such default that would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

or circumstance which with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both would give rise to a default under any such lease rights of way, permits, licenses, which would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; and 

(d) All of the assets and Properties of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries which are reasonably necessary for the operation of its
business are in good working condition (ordinary wear and tear excepted) and are maintained in accordance with prudent business standards, except to the extent the failure to be in such condition or so maintained would not reasonably be expected to

information with respect to the Borrower or its Affiliates, or the respective securities of any of the foregoing, and who may be engaged in investment and other market-related activities with respect to such Persons’ securities. The Borrower
hereby agrees that it will use commercially reasonable efforts to identify that portion of the Borrower Materials that may be distributed to the Public Lenders and that (w) all such Borrower Materials shall be clearly and conspicuously marked
“PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (x) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” the Borrower shall be deemed to have authorized the
Administrative Agent, the Arranger, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders to treat such Borrower Materials as not containing any material non-public information (although it may be sensitive and proprietary) with respect to the Borrower or its securities
for purposes of United States federal and state securities laws (provided, however, that to the extent such Borrower Materials constitute Information, they shall be treated as set forth in Section 12.11); (y) all
Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated “Public Investor”; and (z) the Administrative Agent and the Arranger shall be entitled to treat any Borrower
Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not designated “Public Investor”; provided that the information provided by Borrower pursuant to
Section 7.1(g) shall not be distributed to Public Investors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall be under no obligation to mark any Borrower Materials “PUBLIC.”

TexStar JVs) shall (i) (A) preserve and maintain its organization existence and (B) preserve and maintain all of its material rights, privileges and franchises (except, in the case of this clause (B), where the failure to do so would
not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect); (ii) keep books of record and account in which full, true and correct entries will be made of all dealings or transactions in relation to its business and activities;
(iii) upon reasonable prior written notice, permit representatives of the Administrative Agent or any Lender (coordinated through and together with the Administrative Agent), during normal business hours, to examine, copy and make extracts from
its books and records, to inspect its Properties, and to discuss its business and affairs with its officers, all to the extent reasonably requested by such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) (provided, however, so long as no
Event of Default 

  
 82 

 
exists, only one (1) visit per fiscal year shall be at the expense of the Credit Parties); and (iv) keep, or cause to be kept, insured by financially sound and reputable insurers all
Collateral of a character usually insured by Persons engaged in the same or similar business similarly situated against loss or damage of the kinds and in the amounts customarily insured against by such Persons and carry such other insurance as is

material Properties will be fully preserved and maintained, (x) except to the extent that the wells and field to which such portions of the Pipelines are connected are no longer producing Hydrocarbons in economically reasonable amounts,
(y) except that the foregoing shall not apply to Pipeline Properties that are not gathering Hydrocarbons on a regular basis and (z) except where the failure to do so would not reasonably be excepted to have a Material Adverse Effect. The
Borrower shall and shall cause each of its Consolidated Subsidiaries (other than the TexStar JVs) to promptly: (i) pay and discharge, or make reasonable and customary efforts to cause to be paid and discharged, all rentals, royalties, expenses
and indebtedness accruing under the rights of way, licenses, leases or other agreements affecting or pertaining to its Pipeline Properties, except for amounts that any Credit Party contests in good faith so long as adequate reserves are maintained
with respect thereto in accordance with GAAP or except where the failure to pay such amounts would not reasonably be expected to individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect, (ii) perform or make reasonable and customary
efforts to cause to be performed, in accordance with industry standards, the obligations required by each and all of the rights of way, deeds, leases, subleases, contracts and agreements affecting its interests in its Pipeline Properties and other

Liens, its rights with respect to its Pipeline Properties and other material Properties and prevent any forfeiture thereof or a default thereunder, except to the extent that the wells and field to which such portions of the Pipelines are connected
are no longer producing Hydrocarbons in economically reasonable amounts and except for dispositions and transfers permitted by Section 9.5. The Borrower shall and shall cause each of its Consolidated Subsidiaries (other than the TexStar
JVs) to operate its Pipeline Properties and other material 

  
 83 

 
Properties to be operated in a careful and efficient manner in accordance with the practices of the industry and in compliance with all applicable contracts and agreements and in compliance in

shall cause each of its Consolidated Subsidiaries (other than the TexStar JVs) to promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in writing of any threatened action, investigation or inquiry by any Governmental Authority in connection with
any Environmental Laws, excluding any action, investigation or inquiry which would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

gathering, transportation, sale, purchase, exchange or processing of Hydrocarbons whether such data, information or agreements are in written form or electronic format (the “Contracts and Records”), and to examine, take
copies and extracts therefrom, and (B) any of the Pipeline Properties (provided, however, so long as no Event of Default exists, only one (1) visit and inspection per fiscal year shall be at the expense of the Credit Parties). 

(iii) Following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to the extent set forth in the Security
Documents, each Credit Party acknowledges that the Administrative Agent is expressly granted the right to exercise any and all liens, statutory or otherwise, rights of offset or recoupment it has and to receive the monies, income, proceeds, or
benefits attributable to the gathering, transportation of Hydrocarbons through the Pipeline Properties (except for such Pipeline Properties that are not Mortgaged Properties), to hold the same as security for the Obligations and to apply it on the
principal and interest or other amounts owing on any of the Obligations, whether or not then due, in such order or manner as Administrative Agent may elect. 

  
 86 

 (e) Subordination of Intercompany Debt. Any Intercompany Notes or advances of any Credit
Party howsoever evidenced by journal entries or otherwise now or hereafter owed to or held by any other Credit Party are hereby subordinated to the Obligations of such other Credit Party to the Lenders, and any document or instrument evidencing such
loans or advances shall contain a legend giving notice of such subordination. Any such Intercompany Notes or advances of any other Credit Party due to such Credit Party, if the Administrative Agent so requests following the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, shall be collected, enforced and received by such Credit Party as trustee for the Lenders and be paid over to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders on account of the Obligations but without
affecting in any manner the liability of such Credit Party under the other provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document. Any Lien, claim, right or other encumbrance on any property of any Credit Party in favor of any other Credit Party is
hereby subordinated in all respects to the Liens granted to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders. 
 (f) Other Real
Property Collateral. The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after the acquisition of any real property other than Pipeline Properties with a fair market value in excess of $10,000,000 by any Credit Party
that is not subject to the existing Security Documents, and within sixty (60) days (or such longer period as the Administrative Agent may agree in its sole discretion) following any such acquisition, deliver Mortgages, title information,
surveys, opinions, Flood Certificates and other documents reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in connection with granting and perfecting a first priority Lien, other than Excepted Liens, on such real property in favor of the Collateral
Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, all in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent. 
 (g)
Exclusions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, with respect to any real property, if the Administrative Agent reasonably determines that the costs, financial and otherwise, of obtaining or maintaining a Lien,
perfecting a Lien and/or complying with all Applicable Law with respect to such a Lien outweigh the benefit to the Secured Parties of the security afforded thereby, the Administrative Agent will notify the Borrower of such determination and,
(x) if such real property is not then subject to a Lien pursuant to the Security Documents, such real property shall not be required to become subject to a Lien pursuant to the Security Documents and, (y) if such real property is already
subject to a Lien pursuant to the Security Documents, the Administrative Agent shall, upon obtaining the consent of the Required Lenders, release such Lien. 

SECTION 7.8 Corporate Identity. The Borrower shall do or cause to be done (or refrain from doing or causing to be done, as the
case may be) all things necessary to ensure that the separate legal identity of the Borrower will at all times be respected and that neither the Borrower nor any of Borrower’s Consolidated Subsidiaries will be liable for any obligations,

  
 87 

 
contractual or otherwise, of Atlas Energy or any of its Subsidiaries or other entity in which Atlas Energy or any of its Subsidiaries owns any equity interest (other than the Borrower, General
Partner and Borrower’s Subsidiaries). Without limiting the foregoing, the Borrower will (i) observe all requirements, procedures and formalities necessary in order that the Borrower will for all purposes be considered a validly existing
entity separate and distinct from the General Partner, (ii) not permit any commingling of the assets of the General Partner, Atlas Energy or any of its Subsidiaries with assets of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries which would prevent such
assets of such persons from being readily distinguished from the assets of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and (iii) take reasonable and customary actions to ensure that creditors of the General Partner, Atlas Energy or any of its
Subsidiaries are aware that each such Person is an entity separate and distinct from the Borrower and its Subsidiaries. 
 SECTION 7.9
ERISA Information and Compliance. The Credit Parties will promptly furnish and will cause the Consolidated Subsidiaries (other than any TexStar JV) and any ERISA Affiliate to promptly furnish to the Administrative Agent with sufficient copies
to the Lenders (i) immediately upon becoming aware of the occurrence of any ERISA Event or of any “prohibited transaction,” as described in section 406 of ERISA or in section 4975 of the Code, in connection with any Plan or any trust
created thereunder, a written notice signed by a Responsible Officer specifying the nature thereof, what action the Credit Party, the Consolidated Subsidiary or the ERISA Affiliate is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto, and, when known,
any action taken or proposed in writing by the Internal Revenue Service, the Department of Labor or the PBGC with respect thereto, and (ii) immediately upon receipt thereof, copies of any notice of the PBGC’s intention to terminate or to
have a trustee appointed to administer any Plan. With respect to each Plan (other than a Multiemployer Plan), the Credit Parties will, and will cause each Consolidated Subsidiary and ERISA Affiliate to, (i) satisfy in full and in a timely
manner, without incurring any late payment or underpayment charge or penalty and without giving rise to any lien, all of the contribution and funding requirements of section 412 of the Code (determined without regard to subsections (d), (e),
(f) and (k) thereof) and of section 302 of ERISA (determined without regard to sections 303, 304 and 306 of ERISA), and (ii) pay, or cause to be paid, to the PBGC in a timely manner, without incurring any late payment or underpayment
charge or penalty, all premiums required pursuant to sections 4006 and 4007 of ERISA.

 SECTION 7.11 Additional Guarantees and Security Documents. 

(a) As an inducement to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to enter into this Agreement, each Credit Party (other than the Borrower)
shall execute and deliver to Administrative Agent the Guaranty Agreement substantially in the form and upon the terms of Exhibit H, providing for the guaranty of payment and performance of the Obligations and each Credit Party shall
execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent the Security Agreement pursuant to which each Credit Party will grant liens and security interests in its personal property constituting Collateral (as defined therein) to secure the Obligations. In
addition, within thirty (30) days of the formation or acquisition of any Consolidated Subsidiary, the Borrower shall (i) cause such Consolidated Subsidiary to execute 

  
 88 

 
and deliver to the Administrative Agent a joinder agreement substantially in the form attached as an exhibit to the Security Agreement (the “Joinder Agreement”) pursuant
to which such Consolidated Subsidiary will become a party to the Guaranty Agreement and the Security Agreement, (ii) execute and deliver, or cause the owner of the Capital Stock in such Consolidated Subsidiary (to the extent such owner is a
Credit Party) to execute and deliver, a supplement to the Security Agreement (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent ) to pledge and grant a security interest in the Capital Stock in such Consolidated Subsidiary, and
(iii) deliver or cause to be delivered such other documents and instruments as may be required with respect to such Consolidated Subsidiary pursuant to Section 7.5. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article VII, any
pledge of the Capital Stock of a CFC shall be limited to sixty-five percent (65%) of such Capital Stock. 
 (b) The Borrower will not
permit any of its Consolidated Subsidiaries that is not a Guarantor to, directly or indirectly, guarantee the payment of any Indebtedness of the Borrower or another Credit Party unless such Consolidated Subsidiary executes and delivers to the
Administrative Agent a Joinder Agreement pursuant to which it becomes a party to the a Guaranty Agreement as a Guarantor. 
 (c) Within
thirty (30) days of the formation or acquisition of any Subsidiary or any Unrestricted Entity, Borrower shall cause such Subsidiary or Unrestricted Entity to execute and deliver to Administrative Agent certified copies of such
Subsidiary’s, or Unrestricted Entity’s, as the case may be, organizational documents. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Foreign
Subsidiary will be required to execute and deliver the Guaranty Agreement, the Security Agreement or any Joinder Agreement, if such actions would have material adverse tax consequences to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries. 

SECTION 7.12 Payment and Performance of Obligations. The Borrower shall and shall cause its Consolidated Subsidiaries (other than
any TexStar JV) to pay and perform all Obligations under the other Loan Documents, and pay or perform (a) Taxes that may be levied or assessed upon it or any of its property, and (b) all other obligations and liabilities in accordance with
customary trade practices, except that the Borrower or such Consolidated Subsidiary may contest any item described in clause (a) or (b) of this Section 7.12 in good faith so long as adequate reserves are maintained with respect
thereto in accordance with GAAP, and except where the failure to pay or perform such items described in clause (a) or (b) of this Section 7.12 would not reasonably be expected to individually or in the aggregate, have a
Material Adverse Effect. 
 SECTION 7.13 Compliance with Laws and Approvals. The Borrower shall and shall cause its Consolidated
Subsidiaries (other than the TexStar JVs) to observe and remain in compliance in all material respects with all Applicable Laws (including, without limitation, Anti-Corruption Laws and applicable Sanctions) and maintain in full force and effect all
Governmental Approvals, in each case applicable to the conduct of its business except where the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

  
 89 

 SECTION 7.14 Use of Proceeds. The Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Extensions
of Credit to refinance indebtedness outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement and for working capital and other general corporate purposes of the Credit Parties, including, without limitation, the payment of certain fees and expenses incurred
in connection with the Transactions and this Agreement, Permitted Acquisitions and other Investments and Restricted Payments permitted under this Agreement. 

SECTION 7.15 Designation of Unrestricted Entities. The Borrower’s board of directors may, at any time, designate any
Consolidated Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Entity by prior written notice to the Administrative Agent; provided that the Borrower shall only be permitted to so designate a new Unrestricted Entity after the Closing Date and so long as
(a) no Default or Event of Default exists or would result therefrom, (b) such Subsidiary does not own any Capital Stock or Indebtedness of, or own or hold a Lien on any property of, the Borrower or any other Subsidiary that is not a
subsidiary of the Subsidiary to be so designated and (c) the Borrower shall have been able to make a dividend in accordance with Section 9.6(g) in an amount equal to the greater of (i) the aggregate of all investments made in
such Subsidiary and (ii) the fair market value of such Subsidiary. The Borrower may designate any Unrestricted Entity to be a Subsidiary for purposes of this Agreement (each, a “Subsidiary Redesignation”); provided
further that (i) such Unrestricted Entity, both before and after giving effect to such designation, shall be a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of the Borrower, (ii) no Default or Event of Default then exists or would occur as a consequence of
any such Subsidiary Redesignation, (iii) based on good faith projections prepared by the Borrower for the period from the date of the respective Subsidiary Redesignation to the date that is one year thereafter, the Consolidated Funded Debt
Ratio shall be better than or equal to such level as would be required to provide that no Default or Event of Default would exist under Article VIII through the date that is one year from the date of the respective Subsidiary Redesignation,
(iv) all representations and warranties contained herein and in the other Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects with the same effect as though such representations and warranties had been made on and as of the date
of such Subsidiary Redesignation (both before and after giving effect thereto), unless stated to relate to a specific earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such
earlier date, (v) the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent an officer’s certificate executed by a Responsible Officer, certifying to the best of such officer’s knowledge compliance with the requirements of
preceding clauses (i) through (iv), inclusive, and containing the calculations required by the preceding clause (iii), and (vi) any Unrestricted Entity subject to a Subsidiary Redesignation may not thereafter be designated as an
Unrestricted Entity. 
 SECTION 7.16 Commodity Exchange Act Keepwell Provisions. The Borrower hereby guarantees the payment and
performance of all Obligations of each Credit Party (other than Borrower) and absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each Credit Party (other than the
Borrower) in order for such Credit Party to honor its obligations under its respective Guaranty Agreement including obligations with respect to Hedging Agreements (provided, however, that the Borrower shall only be liable under this
Section 7.16 for the maximum amount of such 

  
 90 

 
liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 7.16, or otherwise under this Agreement or any Loan Document, as it relates to such other
Credit Parties, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations of the Borrower under this Section 7.16 shall remain in full force and effect until
all Obligations are paid in full to the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and all other Secured Parties, and all of the Lenders’ Commitments are terminated. The Borrower intends that this Section 7.16 constitute, and this
Section 7.16 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Credit Party for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.

(i) Terminate the Revolving Credit Commitment and declare the principal of and interest on the Loans and the Reimbursement
Obligations at the time outstanding, and all other amounts owed to the Lenders and to the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, all L/C Obligations, whether or not the
beneficiaries of the then outstanding Letters of Credit shall have presented or shall be entitled to present the documents required thereunder) and all other Obligations (other than Specified Obligations), to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon
the same shall immediately become due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are expressly waived by each Credit Party, anything in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents to the contrary
notwithstanding, and terminate the Credit Facility and any right of the Borrower to request borrowings or Letters of Credit thereunder; provided, that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in Section 10.1(h) or
(i), the Credit Facility shall be automatically terminated and all Obligations (other than Specified Obligations) shall automatically become due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are

 (b) Letters of Credit. With respect to all Letters of

amount equal to the aggregate then undrawn and unexpired amount of such Letters of Credit. Amounts held in such cash collateral account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to the payment of drafts drawn under such Letters of Credit, and the
unused portion thereof after all such Letters of Credit shall have expired or been 

  
 113 

 
fully drawn upon, if any, shall be applied to repay the other Obligations on a pro rata basis. After all such Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon, the Reimbursement
Obligation shall have been satisfied and all other Obligations shall have been paid in full, the balance, if any, in such cash collateral account shall be returned to the Borrower. 

(c) Rights of Collection. Exercise on behalf of the Lenders all of its other rights and remedies under this Agreement, the other Loan
Documents and Applicable Law, in order to satisfy all of the Borrower’s Obligations. 
 SECTION 10.3 Rights and Remedies
Cumulative; Non-Waiver; etc. The enumeration of the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders set forth in this Agreement is not intended to be exhaustive and the exercise by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders of any
right or remedy shall not preclude the exercise of any other rights or remedies, all of which shall be cumulative, and shall be in addition to any other right or remedy given hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or that may now or hereafter
exist at law or in equity or by suit or otherwise. No delay or failure to take action on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or
partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege or shall be construed to be a waiver of any Event of Default. No course of dealing between
the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders or their respective agents or employees shall be effective to change, modify or discharge any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or to constitute a waiver of any
Event of Default. 
 SECTION 10.4 Crediting of Payments and Proceeds. In the event that the Obligations have been accelerated
pursuant to Section 10.2 or the Administrative Agent or any Lender has exercised any remedy set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, all payments received by the Lenders upon the Obligations and all net proceeds from the
enforcement of the Obligations shall be applied: 
 First, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting
fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts, including attorney fees, payable to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such, the Issuing Bank in its capacity as such and the Swingline Lender in its capacity as such (ratably among the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and Swingline Lender in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause First payable to them); 

Second, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities and other amounts (other than
principal and interest) payable to the Lenders under the Loan Documents, including attorney fees (ratably among the Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Second payable to them); 

Third, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans and
Reimbursement Obligations (ratably among the Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Third payable to them); 

  
 114 

 Fourth, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting unpaid
principal of the Loans, Reimbursement Obligations and Specified Obligations (including any termination payments and any accrued and unpaid interest thereon) (ratably among the Lenders and the counterparties to the Specified Obligations in proportion
to the respective amounts described in this clause Fourth held by them); 
 Fifth, to the Administrative Agent for the
account of the Issuing Bank, to cash collateralize any L/C Obligations then outstanding; and 
 Last, the balance, if
any, after all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full, to the Borrower or as otherwise required by Applicable Law. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, amounts received from the Borrower or any Guarantor that is not an “eligible contract participant”
under the Commodity Exchange Act shall not be applied to any Excluded Swap Obligations (it being understood, that in the event that any amount is applied to Obligations other than Excluded Swap Obligations as a result of this clause, the
Administrative Agent shall make such adjustments as it determines are appropriate to distributions pursuant to clause Fourth above from amounts received from “eligible contract participants” under the Commodity Exchange Act to ensure, as
nearly as possible, that the proportional aggregate recoveries with respect to Obligations described in clause Fourth above by the holders of any Excluded Swap Obligations are the same as the proportional aggregate recoveries with respect to other
Obligations pursuant to clause Fourth above). 
 SECTION 10.5 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the
pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Credit Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any
Loan or L/C Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention
in such proceeding or otherwise: 
 (a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in
respect of the Loans, L/C Obligations and all other Obligations arising under the Loan Document that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the
Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the
Administrative Agent under Sections 3.3, 4.3 and 12.3) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and 
 (b) to collect
and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; 

  
 115 

 and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such
judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the
Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 3.3,
4.3 and 12.3. 
 Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or
accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender
in any such proceeding. 
 ARTICLE XI 

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT 

SECTION 11.1 Appointment and Authority. Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably designates and appoints Wells
Fargo to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent
by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article XI are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Bank, and
neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary thereof shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions. 
 The
Administrative Agent shall also act as the Collateral Agent under the Loan Documents, and each of the Lenders (including in its capacity as counterparty to a Specified Hedging Agreement) and the Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably appoints and
authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the agent of such Lender and the Issuing Bank for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Credit Party to secure any of the Obligations,
together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In this connection, the Collateral Agent and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Article XI for
purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Security Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Administrative Agent), shall be entitled to the
benefits of all provisions of this Article XI and Article XII (including Section 12.3, as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the Collateral Agent under the Loan Documents) as if set forth in full
herein with respect thereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, none of the Arranger, Co-Syndication Agents or Documentation Agent listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties, or responsibilities
under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Swingline Lender, the Issuing Bank or a Lender hereunder. 

  
 116 

 SECTION 11.2 Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent
hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise
expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial
advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account
therefor to the Lenders. 
 SECTION 11.3 Exculpatory Provisions. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or
obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent: 

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

(b) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers
expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for
herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary
to any Loan Document or Applicable Law; and 
 (c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any
duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates
in any capacity. 
 The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the
request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 10.2
and Section 12.2) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final non-appealable judgment. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have
knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower, a Lender or the Issuing Bank. 

The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or
representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the
performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set 

  
 117 

 
forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement,
instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article V or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent. 

SECTION 11.4 Reliance by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur
any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine
and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur
any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or the Issuing Bank, the
Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or the Issuing Bank unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or the Issuing Bank prior to the making of such Loan
or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not
taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. 
 SECTION 11.5 Delegation of Duties. The
Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any
such sub agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article XI shall apply to any such sub agent and to the Related Parties
of the Administrative Agent and any such sub agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the Facilities as well as activities as Administrative Agent. 

SECTION 11.6 Resignation of Administrative Agent. 

(a) The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Borrower. Upon receipt of
any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the prior written consent of Borrower (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) so long as no Event of Default exists or in consultation
with the Borrower if an Event of Default exists, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so
appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders and the
Issuing Bank, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above provided that if the 

  
 118 

 
Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with
such notice and (1) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or
through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and the Issuing Bank directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this paragraph. Upon the acceptance
of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring
Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this paragraph). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor
Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the
provisions of this Article XI and Section 12.3 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be
taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent. 
 (b) Any resignation by Wells Fargo as
Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 11.6 shall also constitute its resignation as Issuing Bank and Swingline Lender. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, (a) such
successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Issuing Bank and Swingline Lender, (b) the retiring Issuing Bank and Swingline Lender shall be discharged from all of their
respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and (c) the successor Issuing Bank shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or
make other arrangement satisfactory to the retiring Issuing Bank to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring Issuing Bank with respect to such Letters of Credit. 

SECTION 11.7 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender and the Issuing Bank acknowledges that it has,
independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into
this Agreement. Each Lender and the Issuing Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it
shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. 

SECTION 11.8 Collateral and Guaranty Matters. The Lenders irrevocably authorize and direct the Administrative Agent (without
notice to, or vote or consent of, any counterparty Person (in their capacity as a counterparty to a Specified Hedging Agreement or as a Bank Products Provider), 

  
 119 

 (a) to release any Lien on any Collateral granted to or held by the Administrative Agent, for the
ratable benefit of the Secured Parties (whether or not on the date of such release there may be outstanding Specified Obligations or contingent indemnification obligations not then due), under any Loan Document (i) upon repayment of the
outstanding principal of and all accrued interest on the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations, payment of all outstanding fees and expenses hereunder, the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitment and the expiration or termination of all Letters
of Credit, (ii) that is disposed or to be disposed of as part of or in connection with any disposition permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or (iii) subject to Section 12.2, if approved, authorized or ratified
in writing by the Required Lenders; 
 (b) to subordinate or release any Lien on any Collateral (whether or not on the date of such
subordination or release there may be outstanding Specified Obligations or contingent indemnification obligations not then due) granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Excepted Lien; and 

(c) to release any Guarantor (whether or not on the date of such release there may be outstanding Specified Obligations or contingent
indemnification obligations not then due) from its obligations under the Guaranty Agreement, the Security Agreement and any other Loan Documents if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder. 

Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority
to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty Agreement pursuant to this Section. 

SECTION 11.9 Release of Liens and Guarantees of Subsidiaries. If any of the Collateral shall be sold, transferred or otherwise
disposed of by the Borrower or any other Credit Party in a transaction permitted by this Agreement (including by way of merger, consolidation or in connection with the sale of a Subsidiary permitted hereunder), then the Administrative Agent, at the
request and sole expense of the Borrower or such other Credit Party, shall execute and deliver without recourse, representation or warranty all releases or other documents necessary or desirable for the release of the Liens created by any of the
Security Documents on such Collateral. In the case of any such sale, transfer or disposal of any property constituting Collateral in a transaction constituting an Asset Disposition permitted pursuant to Section 9.5, the Liens created by
any of the Security Documents on such property shall be automatically released (without need for further action by any person). At the request and sole expense of the Borrower, a Subsidiary that is a Credit Party shall be released from all its
obligations under this Agreement and under all other Loan Documents in the event that it shall cease to be a Subsidiary in a transaction permitted by this Agreement (including by way of merger or consolidation), and the Administrative Agent and the
Collateral Agent, at the request and sole expense of the Borrower, shall execute and deliver without recourse, representation or warranty all releases or other documents necessary or desirable to evidence or confirm the foregoing. 

  
 120 

 SECTION 11.10 Specified Obligations. No Lender or Affiliate thereof to which
Specified Obligations are owing that obtains the benefits of Section 10.4 or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof or of any Security Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to
any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral) other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided
in the Loan Documents.

hereunder; 
 (d) change Section 4.6 or Section 10.4 in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments
required thereby without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby; 
 (e) change any provision of this
Section 12.2 or reduce the percentages specified in the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to amend, waive or otherwise modify any rights

Section 4.14; (v) the 

  
 124 

 
Fee Letter may be amended, or rights or privileges thereunder waived, in a writing executed only by the parties thereto and (vi) any waiver, amendment or modification of this Agreement that

or extended, and (y) principal amounts owed to such Lender may not be reduced and the final maturity of such amounts shall not be extended, in each case without the consent of such Lender. 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 12.2, if the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall have
jointly identified an obvious error (including, but not limited to, an incorrect cross-reference) or any error or omission of a technical nature, in each case, in any provision of any Loan Document, then the Administrative Agent and/or the
Collateral Agent (acting in their sole discretion) and the Borrower or any other relevant Credit Party shall be permitted to amend such provision or cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency and such amendment shall become effective without any
further action or consent of any other party to any Loan Document. 
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, without the consent of any
other Person, the applicable Credit Party or Parties and the Administrative Agent may (in its or their respective sole discretion, or shall, to the extent required by any Loan Document) enter into any amendment or waiver of any Loan Document, or
enter into any new agreement or instrument, to effect the granting, perfection, protection, expansion or enhancement of any security interest in Collateral or additional property to become Collateral for the benefit of the Secured Parties, or as
required by local law to give effect to, or protect any security interest for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in any property or so that the security interests therein comply with Applicable Law. 

SECTION 12.3 Expenses; Indemnity. 

(a) Costs and Expenses. The Borrower and each Credit Party, jointly and severally, shall pay (i) all reasonable and documented out
of pocket expenses incurred by the Arranger and the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent), in connection with the syndication of the Credit
Facilities provided for herein, the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable and documented out of pocket expenses incurred by the Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit
or any demand for payment thereunder and (iii) all reasonable and documented out of pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for

  
 125 

 
the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank), any Lender or the Issuing Bank, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights (A) in connection with this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section 12.3, or (B) in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such out of pocket expenses incurred during any
workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit; provided that in no event shall Borrower and the Credit Parties be required to pay the expenses and costs of more than one counsel plus, as reasonably
necessary, one local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction and, in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest among the Administrative Agent and any of the Lenders, one additional counsel for each of the parties affected by such
conflict. 
 (b) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify the Arranger, the Administrative Agent (and any
sub-agent thereof), each Lender and the Issuing Bank, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, and shall pay or
reimburse any such Indemnitee for, any and all losses, claims (including, without limitation, any Environmental Claims or civil penalties or fines assessed by OFAC), damages, liabilities and related expenses (including the fees, charges and
disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee), and shall indemnify and hold harmless, each Indemnitee from, and shall pay or reimburse any such Indemnitee for, incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by
the Borrower or any other Credit Party arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance
by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom
(including any refusal by the Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or
alleged presence or Release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by any Credit Party or any Subsidiary thereof, or any Environmental Claim related in any way to any Credit Party or any Subsidiary, (iv) any actual or
prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by any Credit Party or any Subsidiary thereof, and regardless of
whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto, or (v) any claim (including, without limitation, any Environmental Claims or civil penalties or fines assessed by the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control),
investigation, litigation or other proceeding (whether or not the Administrative Agent or any Lender is a party thereto) and the prosecution and defense thereof, arising out of or in any way connected with the Loans, this Agreement, any other Loan
Document, or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, including without limitation, reasonable attorneys and consultant’s fees, provided that in the case of legal
expenses and costs, Borrower’s obligations shall be limited to the expenses and costs of one counsel to such Indemnitees taken as a whole plus, as reasonably necessary, one local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction and, in the case of an
actual or perceived conflict of interest, one 

  
 126 

 
additional counsel for each of the Indemnitees affected by such conflict); provided further that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such
losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee
or its controlling persons, (y) result from a claim brought by any Credit Party or any Subsidiary thereof against an Indemnitee for material breach of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if such Credit
Party or such Subsidiary has obtained a final and non-appealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or (z) relate to any disputes solely among such indemnified persons (other than claims
against Wells Fargo Securities, LLC solely in its capacity as Arranger and claims against Wells Fargo Bank, National Association solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent) and not arising from any act or omission of Borrower or any of its
affiliates as determined in a final and non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 12.3(b) shall not apply to Taxes, which shall be governed by Section 4.11. 

(c) Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that the Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under
clause (a) or (b) of this Section 12.3 to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), the Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, but without limiting the
obligation of the Borrower to do so, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), the Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Revolving Credit
Commitment Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount, provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related
expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the
Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender in connection with such capacity. 
 (d) Waiver of
Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Borrower and each other Credit Party shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect,
consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in clause (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or
other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. 

(e) Payments. All amounts due under this Section 12.3 shall be payable promptly after demand therefor. 

  
 127 

 (f) Settlements. The Borrower shall not be liable for any settlement of any threatened or
pending claim or action (or expenses related thereto) effected without the Borrower’s consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably conditioned, delayed or withheld, it being agreed that if the Borrower does not disapprove such settlement in
writing within thirty (30) days after the date on which consent is solicited, the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to such settlement), but if settled with the Borrower’s consent or deemed consent, or if there is a final judgment
for the plaintiff against an Indemnitee in any such claim or action, the Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each indemnified person to the extent and in the manner set forth above. The Borrower shall not, without the prior written
consent of each Indemnitee affected thereby (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), settle any threatened or pending claim or action that would give rise to the right of any Indemnitee to claim indemnification
hereunder unless such settlement (i) includes a full and unconditional release of all liabilities arising out of such claim or action against such Indemnitee and (ii) does not include any statement as to or an admission of fault,
culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of such Indemnitee; provided that it shall be reasonable for any Indemnitee to withhold its consent to such settlement if the conditions set forth in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) are not
satisfied. 
 SECTION 12.4 Right of Set Off. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender, the
Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time
or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender, the Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account
of the Borrower or any other Credit Party against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower or such Credit Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender,
irrespective of whether or not such Lender, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. The rights of each Lender, the Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender and their respective
Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, the Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender, the Issuing Bank and the
Swingline Lender agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. 

SECTION 12.5 Governing Law; Jurisdiction, Etc. 

(a) Governing Law. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents, unless expressly set forth therein, shall be governed by, construed and
enforced in accordance with, the law of the State of New York, without reference to the conflicts or choice of law principles thereof. 

  
 128 

 (b) Submission to Jurisdiction. The Borrower and each other Credit Party irrevocably and
unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate
court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally agrees
that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York state court or, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final
judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document shall affect any right
that the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against the Borrower or any other Credit Party or its properties in the courts
of any jurisdiction. 
 (c) Waiver of Venue. The Borrower and each other Credit Party irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the
fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in
paragraph (b) of this Section 12.5. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any
such court. 
 (d) Service of Process. Each party hereto irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices
in Section 12.1. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party hereto to serve process in any other manner permitted by Applicable Law. 

SECTION 12.6 Waiver of Jury Trial. 

(a) EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN
ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO
(A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES
THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS Section 12.6. 

  
 129 

 SECTION 12.7 Reversal of Payments. To the extent any Credit Party makes a payment or
payments to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent receives any payment or proceeds of the Collateral which payments or proceeds or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be
fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or proceeds repaid, the
Obligations or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by the Administrative Agent. 

SECTION 12.8 Injunctive Relief; Punitive Damages. 

(a) The Borrower recognizes that, in the event the Borrower fails to perform, observe or discharge any of its obligations or liabilities under
this Agreement, any remedy of law may prove to be inadequate relief to the Lenders. Therefore, the Borrower agrees that the Lenders, at the Lenders’ option, shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without
the necessity of proving actual damages. 
 (b) The Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower (on behalf of itself and the other
Credit Parties) hereby agree that no such Person shall have a remedy of punitive or exemplary damages against any other party to a Loan Document and each such Person hereby waives any right or claim to punitive or exemplary damages that they may now
have or may arise in the future in connection with any Dispute, whether such Dispute is resolved through arbitration or judicially. 

SECTION 12.9 Accounting Matters. If at any time any change in GAAP would affect the computation of any financial ratio or
requirement set forth in any Loan Document, and either the Borrower or the Required Lenders shall so request, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower shall negotiate in good faith to amend such ratio or requirement to preserve the
original intent thereof in light of such change in GAAP (subject to the approval of the Required Lenders); provided that, until so amended, (i) such ratio or requirement shall continue to be computed in accordance with GAAP prior to such
change therein and (ii) the Borrower shall provide to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders Financial Statements and other documents required under this Agreement or as reasonably requested hereunder setting forth a reconciliation between
calculations of such ratio or requirement made before and after giving effect to such change in GAAP. 
 SECTION 12.10 Successors
and Assigns; Participations. 
 (a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that neither the Borrower nor any other Credit Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without
the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in 

  
 130 

 
accordance with the provisions of paragraph (b) of this Section 12.10, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (d) of this
Section 12.10 or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of paragraph (f) of this Section 12.10 (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto
shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in
paragraph (d) of this Section 12.10 and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this
Agreement. 
 (b) Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights
and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Revolving Credit Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions: 

(i) Minimum Amounts. 

(A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment and
the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and 

(B) in any case not described in paragraph (b)(i)(A) of this Section 12.10, the aggregate amount of the
Revolving Credit Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Revolving Credit Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to
each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date)
shall not be less than $5,000,000, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed);
provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have given its consent ten (10) Business Days after the date written notice thereof has been delivered by the assigning Lender (through the Administrative Agent) unless such consent is
expressly refused by the Borrower prior to such fifth (5th) Business Day; 
 (ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each
partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loan or the Revolving Credit Commitment assigned; 

  
 131 

 (iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment
except to the extent required by paragraph (b)(i)(B) of this Section 12.10 and, in addition: 
 (A) the
consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) shall be required unless (x) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (y) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a
Lender or an Approved Fund; provided, that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within 5 Business Days after having received
notice thereof; 
 (B) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed)
shall be required for assignments in respect of the Revolver Facility if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender with a Revolving Credit Commitment, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender; and 

(C) the consents of the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender (such consents not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall
be required for any assignment that increases the obligation of the assignee to participate in exposure under one or more Letters of Credit (whether or not then outstanding) or for any assignment in respect of the Revolver Facility. 

(iv) Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an
Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 for each assignment (provided, that only one such fee will be payable in connection with simultaneous assignments to two or more Approved Funds by a Lender),
and the assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire. 
 (v)
No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made to any Person that is a Disqualified Institution at the time of such assignment, the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries; provided that the
Administrative Agent shall provide a list of Disqualified Institutions to any Lender upon such Lender’s request therefor. 

(vi) No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a natural person. 

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section 12.10, from and after the
effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under
this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the 

  
 132 

 
extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the
assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 4.8, 4.9, 4.10, 4.11 and 12.3
with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for
purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (d) of this Section 12.10. 

(c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices
in Charlotte, North Carolina, a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Revolving Credit Commitment of, and principal amounts of the Loans owing to,
each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Assumption in compliance with the requirements of this Section together with any other documents or
certificates required to be delivered hereunder or reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, and including any fees payable with respect to such assignment, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record it
in the Register. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all
purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender (but only to the extent of entries in the Register that are applicable to such Lender), at any
reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 
 (d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the
consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a
“Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Revolving Credit Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that
(i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank, Swingline Lender and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Each Lender that sells a
participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s
interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the
identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any 

  
 133 

 
Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of
the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such
participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a
Participant Register. 
 Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender
shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the
consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver or modification described in Section 12.2 that directly affects such Participant and could not be affected by a vote of the Required Lenders. Subject to
paragraph (e) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 4.8, 4.9, 4.10 and 4.11 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its
interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 12.10. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 12.4 as though it were a Lender, provided
such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 4.6 as though it were a Lender. 
 (e) Limitations upon Participant
Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 4.10 and 4.11 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant,
unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. No Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 4.11 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold
to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 4.11(e) as though it were a Lender. 

(f) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this
Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any other central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender; provided that no such pledge
or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. 

SECTION 12.11 Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Bank agrees to maintain the
confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and other
representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by, or
required to be disclosed to, any rating agency, credit insurance provider or regulatory or similar authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any 

  
 134 

 
self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by Applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal
process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document (or any Specified Hedging Agreement) or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement
or any other Loan Document (or any Hedging Agreement with a Lender or the Administrative Agent) or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this
Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, Participant or proposed Participant or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty
(or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the consent of the Borrower, (h) to Gold Sheets and other similar bank trade publications, such information to consist of deal
terms and other information customarily found in such publications, or (i) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 12.11 or (y) becomes available to
the Administrative Agent, any Lender, the Issuing Bank or any of their respective Affiliates on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Borrower or (j) to governmental regulatory authorities in connection with any regulatory
examination of the Administrative Agent or any Lender or in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s regulatory compliance policy if the Administrative Agent or such Lender deems necessary for the mitigation of claims by
those authorities against the Administrative Agent or such Lender or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates. For purposes of this Section 12.11, “Information” means all information received from any Credit Party or
any Subsidiary thereof relating to any Credit Party or any Subsidiary thereof or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank on a non-confidential
basis prior to disclosure by any Credit Party or any Subsidiary thereof; provided that, in the case of information received from a Credit Party or any Subsidiary thereof after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the
time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 12.11 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the
same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. 

SECTION 12.12 Performance of Duties. Each of the Credit Party’s obligations under this Agreement and each of the other Loan
Documents shall be performed by such Credit Party at its sole cost and expense. 
 SECTION 12.13 All Powers Coupled with
Interest. All powers of attorney and other authorizations granted to the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and any Persons designated by the Administrative Agent or any Lender pursuant to any provisions of this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents shall be deemed coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable so long as any of the Obligations remain unpaid or unsatisfied, any of the Commitments remain in effect or the Credit Facility has not been terminated. 

  
 135 

 SECTION 12.14 Survival. 

(a) All representations and warranties set forth in Article VI and all representations and warranties contained in any certificate, or
any of the Loan Documents (including, but not limited to, any such representation or warranty made in or in connection with any amendment thereto) shall constitute representations and warranties made under this Agreement. All representations and
warranties made under this Agreement shall be made or deemed to be made at and as of the Closing Date (except those that are expressly made as of a specific date), shall survive the Closing Date and shall not be waived by the execution and delivery
of this Agreement, any investigation made by or on behalf of the Lenders or any borrowing hereunder. 
 (b) Notwithstanding any termination
of this Agreement, the indemnities to which the Administrative Agent and the Lenders are entitled under the provisions of this Article XII and any other provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall continue in full force and
effect and shall protect the Administrative Agent and the Lenders against events arising after such termination as well as before. 

SECTION 12.15 Titles and Captions. Titles and captions of Articles, Sections and subsections in, and the table of contents of,
this Agreement are for convenience only, and neither limit nor amplify the provisions of this Agreement. 
 SECTION 12.16
Severability of Provisions. Any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or
unenforceability without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions hereof or thereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. 

SECTION 12.17 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; Electronic Execution. 

(a) Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in
different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission
(e.g. .pdf) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterparty hereof. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent, constitute the entire
contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this
Agreement and those of any other Loan Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall control; provided that the inclusion of supplemental rights or remedies in favor of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in any other Loan Document
shall not be deemed a conflict with this Agreement. Each Loan Document was drafted with the joint participation of the respective parties thereto and shall be construed neither against nor in favor of any party, but rather in accordance with the
fair 

  
 136 

 
meaning thereof. Except as provided in Section 5.1, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative
Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. 
 (b) The
Borrower expressly acknowledges and agrees that each covenant contained in Articles VII, VIII, IX or X hereof shall be given independent effect. Accordingly, the Borrower shall not engage in any transaction or other
act otherwise permitted under any covenant contained in Articles VII, VIII, IX or X, before or after giving effect to such transaction or act, the Borrower shall or would be in breach of any other covenant contained
in Articles VII, VIII, IX or X. 
 (c) Electronic Execution of Assignments. The words
“execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the
same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures
in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. 

SECTION 12.18 Term of Agreement. This Agreement shall remain in effect from the Closing Date through and including the date upon
which all Obligations (other than (a) contingent indemnification obligations not then due and (b) the Specified Obligations) arising hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall have been indefeasibly and irrevocably paid and satisfied
in full and the Revolving Credit Commitment has been terminated. No termination of this Agreement shall affect the rights and obligations of the parties hereto arising prior to such termination or in respect of any provision of this Agreement which
survives such termination. 
 SECTION 12.19 USA Patriot Act. The Administrative Agent and each Lender hereby notifies the
Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower and Guarantors, which information includes the name and address of each Borrower and Guarantor and other
information that will allow such Lender to identify such Borrower or Guarantor in accordance with the Act. 
 SECTION 12.20 True-Up
Loans. Upon the effectiveness of this Agreement, (a) each Lender who holds Loans in an aggregate amount less than its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage (after giving effect to this amendment and restatement) of all Loans shall advance
new Loans which shall be disbursed to the Administrative Agent and used to repay Loans outstanding to each Lender who holds Loans in an aggregate amount greater than its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of all Loans, (b) each
Lender’s participation in each Letter of Credit shall be automatically adjusted to equal its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage (after giving effect to this amendment and restatement), and (c) such other adjustments shall be made as
the Administrative Agent shall specify so that each Lender’s Revolving Credit Outstandings equals its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage (after giving effect to this amendment and restatement) of the total Revolving Credit Outstandings of
all of the Lenders. The loans and/or adjustments described in this paragraph are referred to herein as the “True-Up Loans”. 

  
 137 

 SECTION 12.21 Exiting Lender. Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (the
“Exiting Lender”) hereby consents to the amendment and restatement of the Existing Credit Agreement as required under Section 12.2 of the Existing Credit Agreement and acknowledges and agrees to
Section 12.20. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees and confirms that after giving effect to this Section 12.21, the Exiting Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment shall be $0, its Commitments to lend and all
obligations under the Existing Credit Agreement shall be terminated, and the Exiting Lender shall cease to be a Lender for all purposes under the Loan Documents (other than in respect of any terms and conditions of the Existing Credit Agreement
(including, without limitation, Section 12.3 or Section 12.14 thereof), which by their terms survive any cancellation of commitments, repayment in full of any obligations or the termination of any Existing Loan Document.

2.  Company’s Covenants as to Common Stock.  Shares deliverable on the exercise of this Warrant shall, at delivery, be fully paid and nonassessable, free from taxes, liens and charges with respect to their purchase.  The Company shall take any necessary steps to assure that the par value per share of the Common Stock is at all times equal to or less than the then current Warrant purchase price per share of the Common Stock issuable pursuant to this Warrant.  The Company shall at all times reserve and hold available, free from preemptive rights, sufficient shares of Common Stock to satisfy all conversion and purchase rights of outstanding convertible securities, options and warrants.

 

3.  Method of Exercise; Fractional Shares; Cashless Exercise.  The purchase rights represented by this Warrant are exercisable at the option of the registered owner in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, provided, however, that purchase rights are not exercisable with respect to a fraction of a share of Common Stock.  In lieu of issuing a fraction of a share remaining after exercise of this Warrant as to all full shares covered hereby, the

 

 

Company shall pay therefor cash equal to the value of such fractional share, as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company.  In case of the exercise of this Warrant for less than all the shares purchasable, the Company shall cancel the Warrant and execute and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor and date for the balance of the shares purchasable.  In the event that the registered owner elects to exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part, then on receipt of written notice of exercise, the Company may, in its sole discretion and in lieu of receiving payment in whole or in part of the purchase price in cash or check, elect to withhold from the total number of shares to be issued to the registered owner pursuant to the exercising of the Warrant the number of shares of Common Stock the fair market value of which is equal to the aggregate exercise price of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant.  The fair market value of the shares of Common Stock shall be reasonably determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in good faith and consistent with the  current practices and methodology used by the Company as part of its annual valuation of non-marketable minority shares of Common Stock.

 

4.  Adjustment of Shares Purchasable.  The number of shares purchasable hereunder and the purchase price per share are subject to adjustment from time to time as specified in this Warrant.

 

5.  Limited Rights of Owner.  This Warrant does not entitle the owner to any voting rights or other rights as a shareholder of the Company, or to any other rights whatsoever except the rights herein expressed.  No dividends are payable or will accrue on this Warrant or the shares purchasable hereunder until, and except to the extent that, this Warrant is exercised.

 

6.  Exchange for Other Denominations.  The Warrant is exchangeable, on its surrender by the registered owner to the Company, for new Warrants of like tenor and date representing in the aggregate the right to purchase the number of shares purchasable hereunder in denominations designated by the registered owner at the time of surrender.

 

7.  Transferability.  This Warrant may be assigned or otherwise transferred to an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) subject to and in compliance with the Securities Act and other applicable Federal and state laws; provided that the registered owner requests and receives prior written consent from the Company, such consent will not be unreasonably withheld.  Except as provided in this Section 7, this Warrant shall not be assignable or otherwise transferable except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.

 

8.  Recognition of Registered Owner.  Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of this Warrant, the Company may treat the registered owner as the person exclusively entitled to receive notices and otherwise to exercise rights hereunder.

 

9.  Effect of Stock Split, Etc.  If the Company, by stock dividend, split, reverse split, reclassification of shares, or otherwise, changes as a whole the outstanding Common Stock into a different number or class of shares, then: (1) the number and class of shares so changed shall, for the purposes of this Warrant, replace the shares outstanding immediately prior to the change; and (2) the Warrant purchase price in effect, and the number of shares purchasable under this Warrant, immediately prior to the date upon which the change becomes effective, shall be

 

2

 

proportionately adjusted (the price to the nearest cent).  Irrespective of any adjustment or change in the Warrant purchase price or the number of shares purchasable under this or any other Warrant of like tenor, the Warrants theretofore issued may continue to express the Warrant purchase price per share and the number of shares purchasable as the Warrant purchase price per share and the number of shares purchasable were expressed in the Warrants when initially issued.  The determination of the Board of Directors of the Company as to the appropriate adjustments, if any, shall be final and binding on all holders of Warrants.

 

10.  Effect of Corporate Transactions.  If the Company consolidates with or merges into another corporation, the registered owner shall thereafter be entitled on exercise to purchase with respect to each share of Common Stock purchasable hereunder immediately before the consolidation or merger becomes effective, the securities or other consideration to which a holder of one share of Common Stock is entitled in the consolidation or merger without any change in or payment in addition to the Warrant purchase price in effect immediately prior to the merger or consolidation.  The Company shall take any necessary steps in connection with a consolidation or merger to assure that all provisions of this Warrant shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably may be, to any securities or other consideration so deliverable on exercise of this Warrant.  A sale or lease of all or substantially all the assets of the Company for a consideration (apart from the assumption of obligations) consisting primarily of securities is a consolidation or merger for the foregoing purposes.

 

11.  Notice of Adjustment.  On the happening of an event requiring an adjustment of the Warrant purchase price per share or the number of shares purchasable hereunder, the Company shall forthwith give written notice to the registered owner stating the adjusted Warrant purchase price and the adjusted number and kind of securities or other property purchasable hereunder resulting from the event and setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which the calculation is based.  The Board of Directors of the Company, acting in good faith, shall determine the calculation, and such determination shall be final and binding.

 

12.  Notice and Effect of Dissolution, Etc.  In case a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company (other than in connection with a consolidation or merger covered by Paragraph 10 above) is at any time proposed, the Company shall give at least 30 days’ prior written notice to the registered owner.  Such notice shall contain:  (1) the date on which the transaction is to take place; (2) the record date (which shall be at least 30 days after the giving of the notice) as of which holders of Common Stock will be entitled to receive distributions as a result of the transaction; (3) a brief description of the transaction; (4) a brief description of the distributions to be made to holders of Common Stock as a result of the transaction; and (5) an estimate of the fair value of the distributions.  On the date of the transaction, if it actually occurs, this Warrant and all rights hereunder shall terminate.

 

13.  Method of Giving Notice; Extent Required.  Notices shall be given by first class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the registered owner at the address of the owner appearing in the records of the Company.  No notice to Warrant holders is required except as specified in Paragraphs 11 and 12.

14.  Compliance With Laws and Regulations.  The Warrant, the transfer of the Warrant and the purchase of shares hereunder, and the obligation of the Company to sell and deliver shares pursuant to exercise of the Warrant, shall be subject to all applicable federal and state laws, rules and regulations and to such approvals by any governmental or regulatory agency as may be required.  The Company (or any successor) shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificates for shares of Common Stock (or other securities) prior to the completion of any registration or qualification of such shares under any federal or state law or issuance of any ruling, order, approval or regulation of any government body which the Company shall, in its sole discretion, determine to be necessary or advisable.  The registered owner agrees to enter into such written representations, warranties and agreements as the Company may request in order to comply with applicable laws, regulations or other requirements.  All sales, transfers and other disposition of this Warrant or securities acquired upon exercise of the Warrant must be made in conformity with the applicable federal and state laws, rules and regulations, and the Company shall not be required to recognize any sale, transfer or other disposition not made in conformity with such laws, rules or regulations.  Compliance with the provisions of such laws, rules and regulations is the responsibility of transferor.

 

15.  Restricted Securities.  The securities represented by this certificate have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws (collectively, the “Acts”).  The securities have been acquired for investment and may not be sold or offered for sale in the absence of an effective registration statement for the securities under the Acts or an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company that such registration is not required.

 

16.  Governing Law.  This Warrant shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas and, to the extent applicable, federal law.
