creditworthiness of the other parties to such contracts, and projected revenues from such contracts, capital costs and expenses, scheduled Commercial Operation Date, and other factors reasonably deemed appropriate by the Administrative Agent; it
being understood and agreed that the Administrative Agent’s approval of the projected Consolidated EBITDA amount shall not be withheld if the projected Consolidated EBITDA so attributable is reasonably consistent with the information delivered
to the Administrative Agent prior to the Effective Date), which may, at the Borrower’s option, be added to actual Consolidated EBITDA for the fiscal quarter in which construction of such Material Project commences and for each fiscal quarter
thereafter until the Commercial Operation Date of such Material Project (including the fiscal quarter in which such Commercial Operation Date occurs, but net of any actual Consolidated EBITDA of the Borrower attributable to such Material Project
following such Commercial Operation Date); provided that if the actual Commercial Operation Date does not occur by the scheduled Commercial Operation Date, then the foregoing amount shall be reduced, for quarters ending after the scheduled
Commercial Operation Date to (but excluding) the first full quarter after its actual Commercial Operation Date, by the following percentage amounts depending on the period of delay (based on the period of actual delay or then-estimated delay,
whichever is longer): (i) 90 days or less, 0%, (ii) longer than 90 days, but not more than 180 days, 25%, (iii) longer than 180 days but not more than 270 days, 50%, and (iv) longer than 270 days, 100%; and 
 (ii) beginning with the first full fiscal quarter following the Commercial Operation Date of a Material Project and for the
two immediately succeeding fiscal quarters, an amount to be approved by the Administrative Agent as the projected Consolidated EBITDA of the Borrower attributable to such Material Project (determined and approved in the same manner as set forth in
clause (i) above) for the balance of the four full fiscal quarter period following such Commercial Operation Date, which may, at Borrower’s option, be added to actual Consolidated EBITDA for such fiscal quarters (but net of any actual
Consolidated EBITDA of the Borrower attributable to such Material Project following such Commercial Operation Date). 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing: (A) no Material Project Consolidated EBITDA Adjustment shall be allowed with respect to any Material Project unless: (y) not later than 30 days (or such shorter period as is acceptable to the
Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion) prior to the delivery of any compliance certificate required by the terms and provisions of Section 5.01(c) to the extent Material Project Consolidated EBITDA Adjustments
will be made to Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA, the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent written pro forma projections of Consolidated EBITDA of the Borrower (or its Consolidated Subsidiary) attributable to such Material Project,
and (z) prior to the date such compliance certificate is required to be delivered, the Administrative Agent shall have approved such projections and shall have received such other information (including updated status reports summarizing each
Material Project currently under

  

 6 

 
construction and covering original anticipated and current projected cost, Capital Expenditures (completed and remaining), the anticipated Commercial Operation Date, total Material Project
Consolidated EBITDA Adjustments and the portion thereof to be added to Consolidated EBITDA and other information regarding projected revenues, customers and contracts supporting such pro forma projections and the anticipated Commercial Operation
Date) and documentation as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request (such approval not to be withheld if such information is reasonably consistent with the information delivered to the Administrative Agent prior to the Effective Date), all in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (B) the aggregate amount of all Material Project Consolidated EBITDA Adjustments during any period shall be limited to 15% of the total actual Consolidated EBITDA of the
Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries for such period (which total actual Consolidated EBITDA shall be determined without including any Material Project Consolidated EBITDA Adjustments) and (C) Consolidated EBITDA shall not include or give
effect to the income (or loss) of any Excluded Subsidiary or any other entity (other than a Subsidiary that is not an Excluded Subsidiary) in which the Borrower or any Subsidiary has an ownership interest, except to the extent that any such income
has been actually received by the Borrower or any Subsidiary (other than an Excluded Subsidiary) in the form of cash dividends or similar cash distributions and, for the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing additions to, and subtractions from,
Consolidated EBITDA described in this definition shall not give effect to any items (other than such income so actually received) attributable to any Excluded Subsidiary or such other entity (provided that this clause (C) shall not apply to the
entities described in clause (a) of the definition of Excluded Subsidiary). 
 “Consolidated

Lender (and Section 2.07 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. The
Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of any participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph, and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to the
Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by the Swingline Lender from the Borrower (or other party on behalf of the Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein
shall be promptly remitted to the Administrative Agent; any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph and to
the Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear; provided that any such payment so remitted shall be repaid to the Swingline Lender or to the Administrative Agent, as applicable, if and to the extent such payment is required to be
refunded to the Borrower for any reason. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve the Borrower of any default in the payment thereof. 
 SECTION 2.06. Letters of Credit. (a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein (including without
limitation Section 5.08), the Borrower may request the issuance of Letters of Credit for its own account or the account of a Subsidiary Guarantor, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the relevant Issuing Bank,
at any time and from time to time during the Availability Period. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement
submitted by the Borrower to, or entered into by the Borrower with, the relevant Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control. Schedule 2.06 contains a schedule of the Existing Letters of
Credit issued for the account of the Borrower or certain of its Subsidiaries prior to the Effective Date. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions contained in Sections 4.01 and 4.02, from and after the Effective Date, the Existing Letters of
Credit shall be deemed to be Letters of Credit issued pursuant to this Section 2.06. Upon the initial expiration of each Existing Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall terminate and cancel each such Existing Letter of Credit and request a new
Letter of Credit to be issued in replacement thereof. 
 (b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal,
Extension; Certain Conditions. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy to the relevant Issuing Bank and the
Administrative Agent (reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and
specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall

  

 27 

 
comply with paragraph (c) of this Section), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare,
amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. If requested by an Issuing Bank, the Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on such Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. A Letter of
Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment,
renewal or extension (i) the LC Exposure shall not exceed the total Working Capital Commitments, (ii) the sum of the total Working Capital Credit Exposures shall not exceed the total Working Capital Commitments and (iii) the sum of
the total Revolving Credit Exposures shall not exceed the Aggregate Commitment. 
 (c) Expiration Date.
Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after such
renewal or extension provided that such renewal or extension does not extend beyond the date referenced in the following clause (ii)) and (ii) the date that is five Business Days prior to the Maturity Date; provided that a Letter of
Credit with a one-year tenor may provide for the automatic renewal thereof for additional one-year periods (which shall in no event extend beyond the date referred to in the preceding clause (ii)). 
 (d) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount
thereof) and without any further action on the part of any Issuing Bank or the Lenders, each Issuing Bank issuing such Letter of Credit hereby grants to each Lender, and each Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Bank, a participation in such
Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally
agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the relevant Issuing Bank, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Borrower on the date due as provided in
paragraph (e) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of
Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or
termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. 
 (e) Reimbursement. If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an
amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 12:00 noon, Chicago, Illinois time, on the date that such LC Disbursement is made, if the Borrower shall have received notice of such LC Disbursement prior to 10:00 a.m., Chicago, Illinois time, on
such date, or, if such notice has not been received by the Borrower prior to such time on such date, then not later than 12:00 noon, Chicago, Illinois time, on (i) the Business Day that the Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is
received prior to 10:00 a.m., Chicago, Illinois time, on the day of receipt, or (ii) the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is not received prior to such time on the day of receipt;
provided that the Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.03 or 2.05 that such payment be financed with an ABR Revolving Borrowing composed of Working Capital Loans or a
Swingline Loan in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Revolving Borrowing or Swingline Loan. If the Borrower fails to make
such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement,

  

 28 

 
the payment then due from the Borrower in respect thereof and such Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Lender shall pay to the
Administrative Agent its Applicable Percentage of the payment then due from the Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.07 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.07 shall apply, mutatis
mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the relevant Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any
payment from the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to such Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to
such Lenders and such Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse an Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of ABR Revolving Loans or a Swingline Loan as
contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement. 
 (f) Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall
be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision
therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by an Issuing Bank
under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that
might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower’s obligations hereunder. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor any Issuing Bank, nor any
of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the
circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document
required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of any Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse an Issuing Bank
from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused
by such Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or
willful misconduct on the part of an Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting
the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, each Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and
make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with
the terms of such Letter of Credit. 
 (g) Disbursement Procedures. Each Issuing Bank shall, promptly
following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. Each Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of
such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such
Issuing Bank and the Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement. 
  

 29 

 (h) Interim Interest. If any Issuing Bank shall make any LC
Disbursement, then, unless the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to
but excluding the date that the Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Revolving Loans; provided that, if the Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph
(e) of this Section, then Section 2.13(d) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the relevant Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Lender pursuant
to paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse an Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment. 
 (i) Replacement of the Issuing Bank. Each Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor
Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of an Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced
Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.12(b). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters
of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context
shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of
Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit. 
 (j) Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been
accelerated, Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the Borrower shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of
the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders, an amount in cash equal to the LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become
effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Borrower described in clause (h) or (i) of
Article VII. Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the Obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including
the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the Borrower’s risk
and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse each Issuing Bank for LC
Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been
accelerated (but subject to the consent of Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement. If the Borrower is required to provide an
amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured
or waived. 
  

 30 

 (k) Issuing Bank Agreements. Each Issuing Bank agrees that, unless
otherwise requested by the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank shall report in writing to the Administrative Agent (i) on the first Business Day of each week, the daily activity (set forth by day) in respect of Letters of Credit during the
immediately preceding week, including all issuances, extensions, amendments and renewals, all expirations and cancellations and all disbursements and reimbursements, (ii) on or prior to each Business Day on which such Issuing Bank expects to
issue, amend, renew or extend any Letter of Credit, the date of such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, and the aggregate face amount of the Letters of Credit to be issued, amended, renewed or extended by it and outstanding after giving
effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension occurred (and whether the amount thereof changed), it being understood that such Issuing Bank shall not permit any issuance, renewal, extension or amendment resulting in an increase in the
amount of any Letter of Credit to occur without first obtaining written confirmation from the Administrative Agent that it is then permitted under this Agreement, (iii) on each Business Day on which such Issuing Bank makes any LC Disbursement,
the date of such LC Disbursement and the amount of such LC Disbursement, (iv) on any Business Day on which any Borrower fails to reimburse an LC Disbursement required to be reimbursed to such Issuing Bank on such day, the date of such failure
and the amount and currency of such LC Disbursement and (v) on any other Business Day, such other information as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request. 
 SECTION 2.07. Funding of Borrowings. (a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 1:00 p.m.,
Chicago, Illinois time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders; provided that Swingline Loans shall be made as provided in Section 2.05. The Administrative
Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of the Borrower maintained with the Administrative Agent in Chicago, Illinois or such other account, in each case, as is
designated by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request; provided that ABR Revolving Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.06(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the
relevant Issuing Bank. 
 (b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to
the proposed date and time of any 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 paragraph (a) of this Section 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, 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 such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in
accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such
Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. 
 SECTION 2.08. Interest Elections. (a) Each Revolving Borrowing
initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to
convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a

  

 31 

 
Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected
Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. This Section shall not apply to
Swingline Borrowings, which may not be converted or continued. 
 (b) To make an election pursuant to this
Section, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrower were requesting a Revolving Borrowing of the Type resulting from
such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest
Election Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Borrower. 
 (c) Each
telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02: 
 (i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each
resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing); 
 (ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;

 (iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing; and 
 (iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect
to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”. 
 If any such
Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. 
 (d) Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the
details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing. 
 (e) If the Borrower fails to
deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such
Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower,
then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Revolving Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR
Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto. 
 SECTION 2.09. Termination and Reduction of
Commitments. (a) Unless previously terminated, the Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date. 
  

 32 

 (b) The Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the
General Partnership Commitments or the Working Capital Commitments; provided that (i) each reduction of the applicable Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $5,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000 and
(ii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the applicable Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Loans in accordance with Section 2.11, (1) the sum of the Revolving Credit Exposures would exceed
the Aggregate Commitment, (2) the sum of the General Partnership Credit Exposures would exceed the total General Partnership Commitments or (3) the sum of the Working Capital Exposures would exceed the total Working Capital Commitments.

 (c) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the applicable
Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the
Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the applicable Commitments delivered by the
Borrower 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. Any termination or reduction of any of the Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of any of the Commitments shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments. 

SECTION 2.10. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay (i) to the
Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan on the Maturity Date and (ii) to the Swingline Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan on the earlier of the
Maturity Date and the first date after such Swingline Loan is made that is five (5) Business Days after such Swingline Loan is made; provided that on each date that a Revolving Borrowing is made, the Borrower shall repay all Swingline
Loans then outstanding. 
 (b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or
accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder. 
 (c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made
hereunder, the Class and Type thereof, the Interest Period applicable thereto and whether such Loan is a General Partnership Loan or a Working Capital Loan, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and
payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof. 
 (d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section shall, absent
manifest error, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall
not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 
 (e) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by one or more promissory notes. In such event, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender promissory note(s) payable to the order
of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced

  

 33 

 
by such promissory note(s) and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by such promissory note(s) in such form payable to the
order of the payee named therein (or, if any such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns). 
 SECTION 2.11. Prepayment of Loans. 
 (a) Voluntary Prepayments. The Borrower shall have
the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, subject to prior notice as follows: the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, the Swingline
Lender) by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., Chicago, Illinois time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment,
(ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Revolving Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., Chicago, Illinois time, on the date of prepayment or (iii) in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, not later than 4:00 p.m., Chicago, Illinois
time, on the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid; provided that, if a notice of prepayment is given in
connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.09, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.09. Promptly
following receipt of any such notice relating to a Revolving Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Revolving Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in
the case of an advance of a Revolving Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02. Each prepayment of a Revolving Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by
accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.13. 
 (b) Mandatory Prepayments. 
 (i) Excess Loans. If at any time (x) the outstanding principal amount of all General Partnership Loans exceeds
the sum of the General Partnership Commitments or (y) the outstanding principal amount of (1) the Working Capital Loans, plus (2) the Swingline Loans, plus (3) the LC Exposure exceeds the sum of the Working Capital
Commitments, then the Borrower shall in each case repay immediately upon notice from the Administrative Agent, by payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, the General Partnership Loans or the Working Capital Loans (as
applicable) in an amount equal to such excess; it being understood and agreed that, after repayment of the Working Capital Loans, any such remaining excess shall be applied as cash collateral in respect of the then outstanding LC Exposure in a
comparable manner to that specified in Section 2.06(j). Each such prepayment shall be accompanied by (x) accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.13 and (y) any amount required to be paid pursuant to
Section 2.16. 
 (ii) Cleandown Period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement
and commencing with the Fiscal Year beginning October 1, 2009, the Borrower must reduce to and/or maintain at $10,000,000 or less, as the case may be, the aggregate outstanding principal balance of all Working Capital Loans and Swingline Loans
for a period of not less than thirty (30) consecutive days during each Cleandown Period. 
 SECTION 2.12. Fees.
(a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a commitment fee, which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate on the daily unused amount of the Commitment of such Lender during the period from and
including the Effective Date to but excluding the date on which such Commitment terminates; provided that, (i) outstanding Letters of Credit

  

 34 

 
shall be considered usage of the Commitment for purposes of calculating the commitment fee and (ii) Swingline Loans shall not be considered usage of the Commitment for purposes of
calculating the commitment fee. Accrued commitment fees shall be payable in arrears on the last day of March, June, September and December of each year and on the date on which the Commitments terminate, commencing on the first such date to occur
after the date hereof. All commitment fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). 
 (b) The Borrower agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a participation fee with
respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at the same Applicable Rate used to determine the interest rate applicable to Eurodollar Revolving Loans on the average daily amount of such Lender’s LC Exposure (excluding
any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender’s Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender
ceases to have any LC Exposure and (ii) to each Issuing Bank, a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate or rates per annum separately agreed upon between the Borrower and such Issuing Bank on the average daily amount of the LC Exposure
(excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) attributable to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination
of the Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure, as well as such Issuing Bank’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, negotiation, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of
drawings thereunder. Participation fees and fronting fees accrued through and including the last day of March, June, September and December of each year shall be payable on the third Business Day following such last day, commencing on the first such
date to occur after the Effective Date; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Any
other fees payable to any Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within 10 days after demand. All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number
of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). 
 (c) The Borrower agrees to pay to the
Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. 
 (d) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent
(or to the Issuing Banks, in the case of fees payable to them) for distribution, in the case of facility fees and participation fees, to the Lenders. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances. 
 SECTION 2.13. Interest. (a) The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing (including each Swingline Loan) shall bear interest at the
Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate. 
 (b) The Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear
interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate. 
 (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue
amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this
Section or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2% plus the rate applicable to ABR Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section. 
  

 35 

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

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

 SECTION 2.14. Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar
Borrowing: 
 (a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest
error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period; or 
 (b) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable,
for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period; 
 then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable
thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Revolving Borrowing
to, or continuation of any Revolving Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing; provided that
if the circumstances giving rise to such notice affect only one Type of Borrowings, then the other Type of Borrowings shall be permitted. 
 SECTION 2.15. Increased Costs. (a) If any Change in Law shall: 
 (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the
Adjusted LIBO Rate) or any Issuing Bank; or 
 (ii) impose on any Lender or any Issuing Bank or the London
interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; 
  

 36 

 and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of
making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender or such Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount
of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or such Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as
will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. 
 (b) If any Lender or any Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such Issuing
Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of
Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such
Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender or such Issuing
Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. 
 (c) A certificate of a Lender or an Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or
such Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or such
Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof. 
 (d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation;
provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or such 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 such Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change
in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. 
 SECTION 2.16. Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the
last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow,
convert, continue or prepay any Eurodollar Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.11(a) and is revoked in accordance therewith) or (d) the
assignment of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.19, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the
loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount reasonably determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount
of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then
current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount
for such period at the interest

  

 37 

 
rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurodollar market. A certificate
of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown
as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof. 
 SECTION 2.17. Taxes. (a) Any and all
payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if the Borrower shall be required to deduct any Indemnified
Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative
Agent, Lender or 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 pay the full amount
deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 
 (b) In addition, the
Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 
 (c) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Issuing Bank, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent, such
Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable
under this Section) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental
Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability, together with evidence of such payment, delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or an Issuing Bank, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or an
Issuing Bank, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 (d) As soon as practicable after any payment of
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy
of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 
 (e) 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 located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is
a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by
applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate. 
 (f) If the Administrative Agent or a Lender reasonably determines 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 2.17, it shall pay over such refund to the Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 2.17 with
respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to
such refund);

  

 38 

 
provided, that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other
charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section shall not be
construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender 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. 
 SECTION 2.18. Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs. 
 (a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.11, the Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it
hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 2.15, 2.16, 2.17, 9.03 or otherwise) prior to 12:00 noon Chicago, Illinois time, on the date when due, in immediately
available funds, without set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating
interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its main office at Chicago, Illinois, except payments to be made directly to an Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein and except that payments
pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient
promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest
thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in dollars. 
 (b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied
(i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal and
unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due to such parties. 
 (c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any
principal of or interest on any of its Revolving Loans or participations in LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Revolving Loans and participations in
LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Revolving Loans and
participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued
interest on their respective Revolving Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered,
such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to
and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements to any assignee or
Participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). The Borrower

  

 39 

 
consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise
against the Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. 
 (d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is
due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or any Issuing Bank hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance
herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or any Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case
may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but
excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. 
 (e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.05(c), 2.06(d) or (e),
2.07(b), 2.18(d) or 9.03(c), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender and for the
benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender or any Issuing Bank to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid and/or (ii) hold any such amounts in a segregated
account as cash collateral for, and application to, any future funding obligations of such Lender under such Sections; in the case of each of (i) and (ii) above, in any order as determined by the Administrative Agent in its discretion.

 SECTION 2.19. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) If any Lender requests compensation under
Section 2.15, 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 2.17, 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 2.15 or 2.17, 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 out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. 
 (b) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, 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 2.17, or if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the
Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee
that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall
not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all
other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment

  

 40 

 
resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.15 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or
payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to
apply. 
 SECTION 2.20. Expansion Option. The Borrower may from time to time elect, not more than six (6) times
during the term of this Agreement, to increase the General Partnership Commitments in minimum increments of $10,000,000 so long as, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate amount of such increases does not exceed $100,000,000. The Borrower may
arrange for any such increase to be provided by one or more Lenders (each Lender so agreeing to an increase in its Commitment an “Increasing Lender”), or by one or more new banks, financial institutions or other entities (each such
new bank, financial institution or other entity, an “Augmenting Lender”), to increase their existing Commitments or extend new Commitments, as the case may be; provided that (i) each Augmenting Lender, shall be subject
to the approval of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and (ii) (x) in the case of an Increasing Lender, the Borrower and such Increasing Lender execute an agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit F hereto, and
(y) in the case of an Augmenting Lender, the Borrower and such Augmenting Lender execute an agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit G hereto. No consent of any Lender (other than the Lenders participating in the increase) shall be
required for any increase in Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.20. Increases and new Commitments created pursuant to this Section 2.20 shall become effective on the date agreed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the
relevant Increasing Lenders or Augmenting Lenders, and the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no increase in the Commitments (or in the Commitment of any Lender) shall become effective under this
paragraph unless, (i) on the proposed date of the effectiveness of such increase, (A) the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 shall be satisfied or waived by the Required Lenders, and the Administrative Agent shall have received a
certificate to that effect dated as of such date and executed by a Financial Officer of the Borrower and (B) the Borrower shall be in compliance (on a pro forma basis reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent) with the covenants
contained in Section 6.12 and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have received documents consistent with those delivered on the Effective Date as to the corporate power and authority of the Borrower to borrow hereunder after giving effect
to such increase. On the effective date of any increase in the Commitments, (i) each relevant Increasing Lender and Augmenting Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent such amounts in immediately available funds as the
Administrative Agent shall determine, for the benefit of the other Lenders, as being required in order to cause, after giving effect to such increase and the use of such amounts to make payments to such other Lenders, each Lender’s portion of
the outstanding General Partnership Loans of all the Lenders to equal its Applicable Percentage of such outstanding General Partnership Loans, and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall reallocate all outstanding General Partnership Loans as of
the date of any increase in the General Partnership Commitments (with any related borrowings to consist of the Types of Revolving Loans, with related Interest Periods if applicable, specified in a notice delivered by the Borrower, in accordance with
the requirements of Section 2.03). The reallocation made pursuant to clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence shall be accompanied by payment of all accrued interest on the reallocated amount and, in respect of each Eurodollar
Loan, shall be subject to compensation by the Borrower in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.16 if the reallocation occurs other than on the last day of the related Interest Periods. 
 SECTION 2.21. Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting
Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender: 
 (a) fees
shall cease to accrue on the daily unused amount of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.12(a); 
  

 41 

 (b) the Commitment and Revolving Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender
shall not be included in determining whether all Lenders or the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 9.02); provided that (i) any waiver,
amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender which affects such Defaulting Lender differently than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender and (ii) any amendment or
modification that increases, or extends the maturity of, such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender; 
 (c) if any Swingline Exposure or LC Exposure exists at the time a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then: 
 (i) the Borrower shall within one (1) Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay such Swingline Exposure and (y) second, cash collateralize
such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.06(j) for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding; 
 (ii) if the Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure pursuant to
Section 2.21(c), the Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.12(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure
is cash collateralized; 
 (iii) if any Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is not cash collateralized pursuant
to Section 2.21(c), then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Bank or any Lender hereunder, all letter of credit fees payable under Section 2.12(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure shall be
payable to the Issuing Bank until such LC Exposure is cash collateralized; and 
 (d) so long as any Lender is a
Defaulting Lender, the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and the Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that cash collateral will be provided by the
Borrower in accordance with Section 2.21(c). 
 In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Borrower, each Issuing Bank
and the Swingline Lender each agree that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders as the
Administrative shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage. 
 ARTICLE III 
 Representations and Warranties 
 The Borrower represents and warrants to the Lenders that: 
 SECTION 3.01. Organization; Powers; Ownership. Each Credit Party is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation, has
the power and authority to own its properties and to carry on its business as now being and hereafter proposed to be conducted and is duly qualified and authorized to do business in each jurisdiction in which the character of its properties or the
nature of its business requires such qualification and authorization, except where the failure to so qualify would not have a Material Adverse Effect. The jurisdictions of formation and the

  

 42 

 
jurisdictions in which the Borrower and each Subsidiary of the Borrower is organized and qualified to do business, and whether such Subsidiary is an Excluded Subsidiary and its Capital Stock is
Excluded Assets, are matters described on Schedule 3.01 hereto (as supplemented from time to time). The capitalization of the Borrower and each Subsidiary of the Borrower consists of the Capital Stock, authorized, issued and outstanding, of such
classes and series, with or without par value, described on Schedule 3.01 hereto. All such outstanding Capital Stock has been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable. The owners of the Capital Stock of the Borrower
and each Subsidiary of the Borrower and the percentage of Capital Stock owned by each are described on Schedule 3.01 hereto. 
 SECTION 3.02. Authorization; Enforceability. Each of the Credit Parties has the right, power and authority and has taken all necessary corporate and other action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement
and each of the other Credit Documents to which it is a party in accordance with their respective terms. This Agreement and each of the other Credit Documents have been duly executed and delivered by the duly authorized officers of each Credit Party
thereto, and each such Credit Document constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Credit Party thereto, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium or similar state or federal debtor relief laws from time to time in effect which affect the enforcement of creditors’ rights in general and the availability of equitable remedies. 
 SECTION 3.03. Governmental Approvals; No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance by the Credit Parties of the Credit
Documents to which each such Person is a party, in accordance with their respective terms, the borrowings hereunder and the Transactions do not and will not, by the passage of time, the giving of notice or otherwise, (i) require any
Governmental Approval or violate any Applicable Law relating to any Credit Party, (ii) conflict with, result in a breach of or constitute a default under the articles of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational documents of any Credit
Party or any indenture, material agreement or other material instrument to which such Person is a party or by which any of its properties may be bound or any Governmental Approval relating to such Person, or (iii) result in or require the
creation or imposition of any Lien upon or with respect to any property now owned or hereafter acquired by such Person other than Liens arising under the Credit Documents. 
 SECTION 3.04. Financial Condition; No Material Adverse Change. (a) The audited Consolidated balance sheets of the Borrower and
its Consolidated Subsidiaries as of September 30, 2009, and the related statements of income and retained earnings and cash flows for the Fiscal Year then ended, copies of which have been furnished to the Administrative Agent and each Lender,
fairly present in all material respects the assets, liabilities and financial position of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries as of such dates, and the results of the operations and changes of financial position for the periods then ended
in accordance with GAAP. All such financial statements, including the related schedules and notes thereto, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Borrower and its Subsidiaries have no Debt, obligation or other unusual forward or long-term
commitment which is not fairly reflected in the foregoing financial statements or in the notes thereto. 
 (b)
Since September 30, 2009, there has been no material adverse change in the business, assets, operations, prospects or financial condition of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole. 
 SECTION 3.05. Properties. (a) Each Credit Party has good and defensible title to all assets and other property purported to be
owned by it, except for minor defects in title that do not interfere with its ability to conduct its business as currently conducted or to utilize such properties for their intended purposes. Set forth on Part 1 of Schedule 3.05 hereto is a complete
list by Credit Party of each parcel of real property by street address owned or leased by a Credit Party, as of the date of the most recent update to such Schedule delivered by the Borrower with the officer’s compliance certificate pursuant to
Section 5.01. Set forth on Part 2 of Schedule 3.05 hereto is a complete list by Credit Party of all motor vehicles owned by a Credit Party, as

  

 43 

 
of the date of the most recent update to such Schedule delivered by the Borrower with the officer’s compliance certificate pursuant to Section 5.01. None of the properties and assets of
the Credit Parties is subject to any Lien, except Permitted Liens. Except as permitted hereunder, the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Holders of Secured Obligations, has a perfected first priority Lien on all of the Collateral subject
to no other Liens except for Permitted Liens. 
 (b) Each Credit Party owns or possesses rights to use all
franchises, licenses, copyrights, copyright applications, patents, patent rights or licenses, patent applications, trademarks, trademark rights, trade names, trade name rights, copyrights and rights with respect to the foregoing which are required
to conduct its business, except where the failure to own or possess any such right could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No event has occurred which permits, or after notice or lapse of time or both would permit,
the revocation or termination of any such rights, and no Credit Party is liable to any Person for infringement under Applicable Law with respect to any such rights as a result of its business operations, except where the loss of any such right or
the liability for any such infringement could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
 SECTION
3.06. Litigation, Contingent Obligations, Labor and Environmental Matters. (a) There are no actions, suits, investigations or proceedings pending nor, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened against or in any other way relating
adversely to or affecting any Credit Party or any Credit Party’s respective properties in any court or before any arbitrator of any kind or before or by any Governmental Authority, except for actions, suits, investigations or proceedings that,
if adversely determined, could, individually or in the aggregate, not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (b) There are no pending, or to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened, material strikes, material work stoppages, material unfair labor practice claims, or other material labor disputes against or
affecting any Credit Party or ERISA Affiliate or their respective employees; provided, however, that if any such event is pending, or to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened, then the Borrower shall provide prompt written notice of the
specifics of such event to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent, in its reasonable discretion, may waive such representation and warranty as it relates to such event. The hours worked and payments made to employees of each Credit
Party and ERISA Affiliate have not been in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act or any other Applicable Law dealing with such matters except for violations that either alone or in the aggregate could not reasonably be expected to result in a
Material Adverse Effect. All material payments due from a Credit Party, or for which any claim may be made against a Credit Party, on account of wages and employee health and welfare insurance and other benefits have been paid or accrued as a
liability on the books of the applicable Credit Party, in compliance with GAAP. 
 (c) Each Credit Party has
complied in all respects with all Environmental Laws except for violations that either alone or in the aggregate could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No Credit Party manages or handles any hazardous wastes,
hazardous substances, hazardous materials, toxic substances or toxic pollutants referred to in or regulated by Environmental Laws in violation of such laws or of any other applicable law where such violation could reasonably be expected to result,
individually or together with other violations, in a Material Adverse Effect. There are no outstanding or threatened citations, notices or orders of non-compliance issued to any Credit Party or relating to its facilities, leaseholds, assets or other
property that either alone or in the aggregate could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Each Credit Party has been issued all licenses, certificates, permits or other authorizations required under any Environmental Law or
by any federal, state or local governmental or quasi-governmental entity, except where the failure to have such licenses, certificates, permits or other authorizations either individually or in the aggregate could not reasonably be expected to
result in a Material Adverse Effect. There are no liabilities or contingent liabilities relating to environmental or employee health and safety matters (including on-site or off-site

  

 44 

 
contamination) relating to any Credit Party or any property owned, leased or used by any Credit Party, which, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to result in a
Material Adverse Effect. 
 SECTION 3.07. Compliance with Laws; Governmental Approvals. Each Credit Party (i) has
all Governmental Approvals required by any Applicable Law for it to conduct its business, each of which is in full force and effect, is final and not subject to review on appeal and is not the subject of any pending or, to its knowledge, threatened
attack by direct or collateral proceeding, and (ii) is in compliance with each Governmental Approval applicable to it and in compliance with all other Applicable Laws, including, without limitation, the BSA, relating to it or any of its
respective properties, except, in each case, to the extent that such non-compliance would not have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 SECTION 3.08. Investment Company Status. No Credit Party is an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company” (as each such term is defined or used in the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended) and neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is, or after giving effect to any Borrowing will be, subject to regulation under the Interstate Commerce Act, as amended, or any other Applicable Law which limits its
ability to incur or consummate the Transactions. 
 SECTION 3.09. Taxes. Each Credit Party has duly filed or caused to be
filed all material federal, state and local tax returns required by Applicable Law to be filed, and has paid, or made adequate provision for the payment of, all federal, state, local and other taxes, assessments and governmental charges or levies
upon it and its property, income, profits and assets which are due and payable, other than those the validity of which the applicable Credit Party is contesting in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which the applicable Credit
Party shall, to the extent required by GAAP, have set aside on its books adequate reserves. No Governmental Authority has asserted any Lien or other claim against any Credit Party with respect to unpaid taxes which has not been discharged or
resolved, other than those the validity of which the applicable Credit Party is contesting in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which the applicable Credit Party shall, to the extent required by GAAP, have set aside on its
books adequate reserves. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of Credit Parties in respect of federal, state, local and other taxes for all Fiscal Years and portions thereof since the organization of each such Credit Party are in the
judgment of the Borrower adequate, and the Borrower does not anticipate any additional taxes or assessments for any of such years. 
 SECTION 3.10. ERISA. The Borrower and each ERISA Affiliate is in material compliance with all applicable provisions of ERISA and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder. 
 SECTION 3.11. Disclosure. All written information, reports and other papers and data produced by or on behalf of each Credit Party
and furnished to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (other than financial projections concerning the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, all of which have been prepared in good faith based upon reasonable assumptions) were, at the time the same
were so furnished, complete and correct in all material respects. No document furnished or written statement made to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders by any Credit Party in connection with the negotiation, preparation or execution of this
Agreement or any of the Credit Documents contains or will contain any untrue statement of a fact material to the creditworthiness of any Credit Party or omits or will omit to state a fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein
not misleading. 
 SECTION 3.12. No Default. No event has occurred or is continuing which constitutes (i) a Default
or an Event of Default or (ii) which constitutes, or which with the passage of time or giving of notice or both would constitute, a default or event of default by any Credit Party under any material agreement or contract, judgment, decree or
order by which any Credit Party or any of their respective properties may be bound or which would require a Credit Party to make any payment thereunder prior to the scheduled maturity

  

 45 

 
date therefore, where (in the case of this clause (ii)) such default could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
 SECTION 3.13. Margin Stock. No Credit Party is engaged principally or as one of its activities in the business of extending credit
for the purpose of “purchasing” or “carrying” any “margin stock” (as each such term is defined or used in the regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System). No part of the proceeds of any of the
Loans will be used for purchasing or carrying margin stock in violation of, or for any purpose which violates, the provisions of Regulation T, U or X of such Board of Governors. 
 SECTION 3.14. No Burdensome Restrictions. No Credit Party is a party to any agreement or instrument or subject to any restriction in
its organizational documents that (i) will have the effect of prohibiting or restraining, or will impose adverse conditions upon, any of the Transactions or the payment of dividends or the making of any loans, investments or transfers by any
Subsidiary to or in the Borrower or (ii) has resulted or could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No Credit Party is subject to any Governmental Approval or Applicable Law which is so unusual or burdensome as in the
foreseeable future could be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Borrower does not presently anticipate that future expenditures of the Credit Parties needed to meet the provisions of any statutes, orders, rules or regulations
of a Governmental Authority will be so burdensome as to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 SECTION 3.15. Solvency. As of
the Effective Date and after giving effect to each Borrowing made hereunder, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, will be Solvent. 
 SECTION 3.16. Debt and Permitted Investments. No Credit Party has any Debt other than Permitted Debt. No Credit Party has made any Investments other than Investments permitted under
Section 6.04 of this Agreement. 
 SECTION 3.17. Fiscal Year. The Fiscal Year of each Credit Party begins on
October 1 and ends on September 30 of the following calendar year.

(iii) maintain all licenses, permits and registrations necessary to the conduct of its business, except where the failure to so maintain its right to transact business or to maintain such licenses, permits or registrations would not have a
Material Adverse Effect. 
 SECTION 5.04. Payment of Obligations. The Borrower will, and will cause each of its
Subsidiaries to, pay and discharge, before they become delinquent, all taxes, assessments and other governmental charges imposed upon it, its properties, or any part thereof, or upon the income or profits therefrom and all claims for labor,

rules and regulations, and all orders of any Governmental Authority, applicable to it or any of its property, business, operations or transactions (including ERISA and all Environmental Laws), except where the failure to so comply could not

Authority charged with enforcing the same where such violation could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
 SECTION 5.08. Use of Proceeds. The Borrower will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, only use the proceeds of (a) the General Partnership Loans to (i) refinance the indebtedness under the Existing Credit Agreement,
(ii) finance Permitted Acquisitions, (iii) finance Capital Expenditures, (iv) finance the working capital needs of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and (v) for any other general partnership purpose; and (b) the Working

 SECTION 5.09. Subsidiary Guaranty. As promptly as possible but in any event within thirty (30) days (or such later date as may agreed upon by the Administrative Agent) after any Person becomes
a Subsidiary, other than an “Excluded Subsidiary,” or a Subsidiary ceases to be an “Excluded Subsidiary” (in each case under definition of that term), the Borrower shall provide the Administrative Agent with written notice
thereof setting forth information in reasonable detail describing the material assets of such Person and shall cause each such Subsidiary to deliver to the Administrative Agent the Subsidiary Guaranty pursuant to which such Subsidiary agrees to be
bound by the terms and provisions of thereof, such Subsidiary Guaranty to be accompanied by appropriate authorizing resolutions, other Organic Documents and legal opinions in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and
its counsel. 
 SECTION 5.10. Collateral. 
 (a) Subject to the limitations on property or assets acquired after the Effective Date set forth in Section 5.13, the
Borrower will, and will cause each other Credit Party to, (i) cause all of its

  

 51 

 
owned property (subject to the exceptions contained herein and in any Collateral Document and excluding the Excluded Assets) to be subject at all times to first priority, perfected Liens in favor
of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Holders of Secured Obligations to secure the Obligations in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Collateral Documents, subject in all cases to Permitted Liens. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Borrower will cause the Applicable Pledge Percentage of the issued and outstanding Capital Stock (other than Excluded Assets) of each Pledge Subsidiary directly owned by the Borrower or any other Credit Party to be
subject at all times to a first priority, perfected Lien in favor of the Administrative Agent to secure the Obligations in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Collateral Documents to the extent, and within such time period as is,
reasonably required by the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing: (1) no Pledge Agreement in respect of the Capital Stock of any Pledge Subsidiary shall be required hereunder to the extent such pledge thereunder would be
prohibited by applicable law, or the Administrative Agent or its counsel reasonably determines that such pledge would not provide material credit support for the benefit of the Holders of Secured Obligations pursuant to legally valid, binding and
enforceable Pledge Agreements; (2) no Mortgages covering real property other than Fee Owned Real Property shall be required hereunder, and no Mortgages shall be required hereunder to the extent such Mortgages are not readily obtainable under
relevant applicable law or if the Administrative Agent or its counsel reasonably determines that such Mortgage would not provide material credit support for the benefit of the Holders of Secured Obligations pursuant to legally valid, binding and
enforceable Mortgages; (3) no Mortgages are required to be delivered hereunder until December 31, 2009 or such later date as the Administrative Agent may agree in the exercise of its reasonable discretion (it being understood and agreed
that the failure to deliver such Mortgages by the date ultimately required by the Administrative Agent shall constitute a Default under clause (d)(i) of Article VII hereof) with respect to the Fee Owned Real Property owned by the Credit Parties on
the Effective Date; provided that the Borrower hereby agrees to use its best efforts to cause the delivery of such Mortgages as soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Date; (4) no vehicle titles for the motor vehicles owned
by the Credit Parties and titled to reflect the Administrative Agent as the lienholder on the Effective Date need to be retitled to reflect the Administrative Agent as the lienholder; and (5) no Mortgages or vehicle titles shall be required
hereunder to the extent the Borrower is in compliance with the Mortgage and Vehicle Title Requirement). 
 (b)
The Borrower will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, keep all Collateral, other than inventory in transit, motor vehicles, residential tanks and bulk storage tanks, at one or more of the locations set forth on Schedule 5.10 hereto and not
remove any such Collateral therefrom except for, (i) inventory sold in the ordinary course of business; (ii) dispositions of obsolete or worn out equipment to the extent permitted under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents; and
(iii) the storage of inventory or equipment at locations within the continental United States other than those described on Schedule 5.10 hereto; provided that (a) this Section 5.10 shall be deemed inapplicable during the
continuation of the Collateral Release Event (as defined below) that has not been followed by the Collateral Regrant Event (as defined below) and (b) the Borrower shall take all actions necessary for the Administrative Agent’s Lien on such
inventory and equipment to continue to be a perfected first priority Lien subject to no other Lien other than Permitted Liens. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else contained in this Agreement or any other Credit Document to the contrary,
the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that in the event the Borrower receives, after the Effective Date, ratings for its senior unsecured long-term debt securities (without third-party credit enhancement) (the “Ratings”) that are
investment grade from both S&P (at least BBB-) and Moody’s (at least Baa3) (the “Collateral Release Event”), the security interests and Liens described in clause (a) of this Section 5.10 and granted pursuant to
the Collateral Documents will be released; provided that (i) if either such Rating subsequently falls below BB+ or Ba1 respectively, the Borrower and each other Credit Party will re-grant the security interests in the Collateral pursuant
to comparable Collateral Documents (the “Collateral Regrant Event”) and no further Ratings-based collateral releases will be permissible and (ii) notwithstanding the foregoing clause (i), no re-granting of the security
interests in and the Liens on the Collateral will be required if the Borrower receives Ratings of BBB (stable or better outlook) or higher from S&P and Baa2 (stable or better outlook) from Moody’s. 
  

 52 

 SECTION 5.11. Performance of Obligations; Further Assurances. If an Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, permit the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders, if the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders so elects in their sole discretion, to pay
or perform any of the Borrower’s Obligations hereunder or under any other Credit Documents and to reimburse the Administrative Agent, on demand, or, if the Administrative Agent so elects, by the Administrative Agent making one or more Loans (as
the Administrative Agent may elect) on the Borrower’s behalf and charging the accounts of any Credit Party held by the Administrative Agent accordingly, for all amounts expended by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent in connection
therewith, and all costs and expenses incurred by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent in connection therewith. Subject to the limitations contained in Section 5.13, the Borrower further agrees to, and cause each of its Subsidiaries to,
other than during the continuation of the Collateral Release Event that has not been followed by the Collateral Regrant Event, execute, deliver or perform, or cause to be executed, delivered or performed, all such Collateral Documents and other
documents, agreements or acts, as the case may be, as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request from time to time to create, perfect, continue or otherwise assure the Administrative Agent with respect to any Lien on all assets of each Credit
Party or created or purported to be created by any of the Credit Documents or to otherwise create, evidence, assure or enhance the Administrative Agent’s and the Lender’s rights and remedies under, or as contemplated by, the Credit
Documents or at law or in equity. 
 SECTION 5.12. Risk Management Policy. The Borrower will, and will cause each of its
Subsidiaries to, comply, and require its Subsidiaries to comply, with (i) the retail and wholesale inventory distribution and trading procedures, (ii) the dollar and volume limits, and (iii) all other material provisions of the Risk
Management Policy. 
 SECTION 5.13. Acquisition of Property and Assets. At all times following the Effective Date and
(i) during the continuation of a Collateral Release Event that has not been followed by the Collateral Regrant Event and (ii) following the occurrence of the Collateral Regrant Event, if any assets or properties are acquired by any Credit
Party, and, after giving effect to such acquisition, the Borrower shall not be in compliance with Section 5.10 then, the Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors, as applicable, shall (within 90 days (or such later date as is agreed to by the
Administrative Agent) after the consummation of such acquisition) execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, to the Administrative Agent at the Borrower’s reasonable expense, such documents (including, without limitation,

to the establishment of any “welfare benefit plan” (as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA) covering any employee of any Credit Party or ERISA Affiliate for any period after such employee’s termination of employment other than such
period required by the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of l986 or “defined benefit plan” (as defined in Section 3(35) of ERISA) or joinder of, or contribution to, any “multiemployer plan” (as defined in
Section 4001(a)(3) of ERISA), it will obtain the Administrative Agent’s prior written approval of such establishment; (ii) at all times make prompt payments or contributions to meet the minimum funding standards of Section 412 of

thereto, if applicable; (iv) notify the Administrative Agent promptly of any “reportable event” (as defined in Section 4043 of ERISA) or any circumstances arising in

of any audit or inquiry by the Internal Revenue Service or the Department of Labor of any Plan or transaction(s) involving or related to any Plan, or any “prohibited transaction” as defined in Section 406 of ERISA or
Section 4975(c) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended; (v) notify the Administrative Agent prior to any action that could result in the assertion of liability under Subtitle E of Title IV of ERISA caused by the complete or

environmental site assessment report for the properties which are the subject of such Event of Default prepared by an environmental consulting firm acceptable to the Administrative Agent and consented to by the Borrower (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed), indicating the presence or absence of hazardous materials and the estimated cost of any compliance or remedial action in connection with such properties.

performance by any Credit Party of obligations under, any amendment to any such existing agreement or any such similar agreement entered into after the

  

 56

and agreements as in effect on the Effective Date and (4) transactions between and among the Credit Parties. The foregoing shall not prohibit the creation of, or an arrangement with, a Subsidiary or other Affiliate in
connection with a Permitted Acquisition or other acquisition of assets and properties pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, provided, that the structure of any such proposed transaction is disclosed to the Administrative
Agent and is acceptable to the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion. 
 SECTION 6.08. Restrictive
Agreements. The Borrower will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, enter into, incur or permit to exist any agreement or other arrangement that prohibits, restricts or imposes any condition upon

with respect to any shares of its Capital Stock or to make or repay loans or advances to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or to Guaranty indebtedness of the Borrower or any Subsidiary; provided that (i) the foregoing shall not apply to
restrictions and conditions imposed by law or by any Credit Document, (ii) the foregoing shall not apply to restrictions and conditions existing on the Effective Date and identified on Schedule 6.08 (but shall apply to any extension or

pending such sale, provided such restrictions and conditions apply only to the Subsidiary that is to be sold and such sale is permitted hereunder, (iv) clause (a) of the foregoing shall not apply to restrictions or conditions imposed by
any agreement relating to secured indebtedness permitted by this Agreement if such restrictions or conditions apply only to the property or assets securing such indebtedness and (v) clause (a) of the foregoing shall not apply to customary

this Agreement and the other Credit Documents. 
 SECTION 6.12. Financial Covenants. 
 (a) Maximum Total Leverage Ratio. The Borrower will not permit the Total Leverage Ratio, determined as of the end of

Date for the period of 4 consecutive fiscal quarters ending with the end of such fiscal quarter, to be greater than 3.0 to 1.0. 
 (c) Minimum Interest Coverage Ratio. The Borrower will not permit the Interest Coverage Ratio, determined as of the

Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly voluntarily prepay, defease or in substance defease, purchase, redeem, retire or otherwise acquire, any Permitted Junior Debt or any Debt from time to time outstanding under the Permitted Junior Debt Documents.
Furthermore, the Borrower will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, amend the Permitted Junior Debt Documents or any document, agreement or instrument evidencing any Debt incurred pursuant to the Permitted Junior Debt Documents (or any
replacements, substitutions, extensions or renewals thereof) or pursuant to which such Debt is issued where such amendment, modification or supplement provides for the following or which has any of the following effects: 
 (a) increases the overall principal amount of any such Debt or increases the amount of any single scheduled installment of
principal or interest; 
 (b) shortens or accelerates the date upon which any installment of principal or
interest becomes due or adds any additional mandatory redemption provisions; 
 (c) shortens the final maturity
date of such Debt or otherwise accelerates the amortization schedule with respect to such Debt; 
 (d) amends or
modifies any financial or negative covenant (or covenant which prohibits or restricts the Borrower or any Subsidiary from taking certain actions) in a manner which is more onerous or more restrictive in any material respect to the Borrower or such
Subsidiary or which is otherwise materially adverse to the Borrower, any Subsidiary and/or the Lenders or, in the case of any such covenant, which places material additional restrictions on the Borrower or such Subsidiary or which requires the
Borrower or such Subsidiary to comply with more restrictive financial ratios or which requires the Borrower to better its financial performance, in each case from that set forth in the existing applicable covenants in the Permitted Junior Debt
Documents or the applicable covenants in this Agreement; or 
 (e) amends, modifies or adds any affirmative
covenant in a manner which (i) when taken as a whole, is materially adverse to the Borrower, any Subsidiary and/or the Lenders or (ii) is more onerous than the existing applicable covenant in the Permitted Junior Debt Documents or the
applicable covenant in this Agreement. 
 ARTICLE VII

 If any of the following events
(“Events of Default”) shall occur:

becoming due prior to its scheduled maturity or that enables or permits (with or without the giving of notice, the lapse of time or both) the holder or holders of any Material Debt or any trustee or agent on its or their behalf to cause any Material
Debt to become due, or to require the prepayment, repurchase, redemption or defeasance thereof, prior to its scheduled maturity; or any default occurs under any Hedging Agreement that constitutes Material Debt which default could enable the other
counterparty to terminate the Hedging Agreement; provided that this clause (g) shall not apply to secured Debt that becomes due as a result of the voluntary sale or transfer of the property or assets securing such Debt; 
  

 59 

 (h) an involuntary proceeding shall be commenced or an involuntary petition

 ARTICLE VIII 
 The Administrative Agent 
 Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its agent and authorizes the
Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and on behalf of the Holders of Secured Obligations and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof, together with such actions and powers as are
reasonably incidental thereto. 
 The bank serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers
in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and such bank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the
Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder. 
 The
Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties,
regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly
contemplated hereby that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing as directed by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in
Section 9.02), and (c) except as expressly set forth herein, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the
request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The
Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any
duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection herewith,
(iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or
document, (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent or (vi) the perfection or priority of any of
the Liens on any of the Collateral. 
 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 believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon
any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower),

  

 61 

 
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. 
 The Administrative Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one
or more subagents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such subagent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the
preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such subagent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such subagent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided
for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent. 
 Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor
Administrative Agent as provided in this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders, each Issuing Bank and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent
of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative
Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and each Issuing Bank, appoint a successor Administrative Agent; provided, that if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
no consent of the Borrower shall be required. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the
retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its
predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for 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 it was acting as Administrative Agent. 
 Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such
documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other
Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any related agreement or any document furnished
hereunder or thereunder. 
 None of the Lenders, if any, identified in this Agreement as a Co-Syndication Agent or a
Documentation Agent shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, none of such Lenders shall have or be deemed to
have a fiduciary relationship with any Lender. Each Lender hereby makes the same acknowledgments with respect to the relevant Lenders in their capacity as Co-Syndication Agents or Documentation Agent as it makes with respect to the Administrative
Agent in the preceding paragraph. 
 Except with respect to the exercise of setoff rights of any Lender, including each Issuing
Bank, in accordance with Section 9.08, the proceeds of which are applied in accordance with this Agreement, each Lender agrees that it will not take any action, nor institute any actions or proceedings, against the Borrower or with respect to
any Credit Document, without the prior written consent of the Required Lenders or, as may be provided in this Agreement or the other Credit Documents, with the consent of the Administrative Agent. 
  

 62 

 The Lenders, including each Issuing Bank, are not partners or co-venturers, and no Lender
shall be liable for the acts or omissions of, or (except as otherwise set forth herein in case of the Administrative Agent) authorized to act for, any other Lender. The Administrative Agent shall have the exclusive right on behalf of the Lenders to
enforce the payment of the principal of and interest on any Loan or any Letter of Credit after the date such principal or interest has become due and payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. 
 In its capacity, the Administrative Agent is a “representative” of the Holders of Secured Obligations within the meaning of the
term “secured party” as defined in the New York Uniform Commercial Code. Each Lender authorizes the Administrative Agent to enter into each of the Collateral Documents to which it is a party and to take all action contemplated by such
documents. Each Lender agrees that no Holder of Secured Obligations (other than the Administrative Agent) shall have the right individually to seek to realize upon the security granted by any Collateral Document, it being understood and agreed that
such rights and remedies may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Holders of Secured Obligations upon the terms of the Collateral Documents. In the event that any Collateral is hereafter pledged by any Person as
collateral security for the Obligations, the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized, and hereby granted a power of attorney, to execute and deliver on behalf of the Holders of Secured Obligations any Credit Documents necessary or appropriate to
grant and perfect a Lien on such Collateral in favor of the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Holders of Secured Obligations. The Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Lien granted
to or held by the Administrative Agent upon any Collateral (i) upon termination of the Commitments and payment and satisfaction of all of the Obligations (other than contingent indemnity obligations and Obligations in respect of Hedging
Agreements and Banking Services Agreements) at any time arising under or in respect of this Agreement or the Credit Documents or the Transactions; (ii) as permitted by, but only in accordance with, the terms of the applicable Credit Document;
or (iii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders, unless such release is required to be approved by all of the Lenders hereunder. Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Lenders will confirm in
writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant hereto. Upon any sale or transfer of assets constituting Collateral which is permitted pursuant to the terms of any Credit Document, or
consented to in writing by the Required Lenders or all of the Lenders, as applicable, and upon at least five Business Days’ prior written request by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall (and is hereby
irrevocably authorized by the Lenders to) execute such documents as may be necessary to evidence the release of the Liens granted to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Holders of Secured Obligations herein or pursuant hereto upon the
Collateral that was sold or transferred; provided, however, that (i) the Administrative Agent shall not be required to execute any such document on terms which, in the Administrative Agent’s opinion, would expose the Administrative Agent
to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such Liens without recourse or warranty, and (ii) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Obligations or any Liens upon (or
obligations of the Borrower or any Subsidiary in respect of) all interests retained by the Borrower or any Subsidiary, including (without limitation) the proceeds of the sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral.

 ARTICLE IX 
 Miscellaneous 
 SECTION 9.01. Notices. (a) Except in the case of notices and other communications
expressly permitted to be given by telephone (and subject to paragraph (b) below), all notices and other

  

 63 

 
communications provided for herein shall be in writing and shall be delivered by hand or overnight courier service, mailed by certified or registered mail or sent by telecopy, as follows:

 (i) if to the Borrower, to it at Two Brush Creek Blvd., Suite 200, Kansas City, Missouri 64112, Attention of
Brooks Sherman, Chief Financial Officer (Telecopy No. (816) 531-3685); 
 (ii) if to the Administrative
Agent, to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Loan and Agency Services Group, 10 South Dearborn, Chicago, Illinois 60603, Attention of Sabana Johnson (Telecopy No. (312) 385-7096), with copies to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., 10 South Dearborn, Chicago,
Illinois 60603, Attention of Kenneth J. Fatur (Telecopy No. (312) 732-1762); 
 (iii) if to any Issuing
Bank, to it at the address most recently specified by it in a notice delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower; 
 (iv) if to the Swingline Lender, to it at JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Loan and Agency Services Group, 10 South Dearborn, Chicago, Illinois 60603, Attention of Sabana Johnson (Telecopy No.
(312) 385-7096); and 
 (v) if to any other Lender, to it at its address (or telecopy number or e-mail
address) set forth in its Administrative Questionnaire. 
 (b) Notices and other communications to the Lenders
hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices pursuant to Article II unless otherwise agreed by the
Administrative Agent and the applicable Lender. The Administrative Agent or the Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it;
provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications. 
 (c) Any
party hereto may change its address or telecopy number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto. All notices and other communications given to any party hereto in accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement shall be deemed to have been given on the date of receipt. 
 SECTION 9.02. Waivers; Amendments. (a) No
failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or
discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and the Lenders hereunder
are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall
be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or
issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time. 
 (b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or
agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders or by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall (i) increase the Commitment of
any Lender without the

  

 64 

 
written consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the
written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iii) postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement, or any interest thereon, or any fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or
excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iv) change Section 2.18(b) or (c) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing
of payments required thereby, without the written consent of each Lender, (v) change any of the provisions of this Section or the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of
Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender or (vi) other than pursuant to a transaction permitted by the terms of this
Agreement or any other Credit Document, release any Guarantor which is a Material Subsidiary or release all or substantially all of the Collateral which is subject to the Credit Documents (other than pursuant to the Collateral Release Event),
without the written consent of each Lender; provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender hereunder without
the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the foregoing (including without limitation clause (v) of this Section 9.02(b)), this Agreement and any
other Credit Document may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, Lenders providing one or more additional credit facilities, the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and each other
relevant Credit Party (x) to add one or more additional credit facilities to this Agreement and to permit the extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof (collectively,
the “Incremental Credits”) to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents with the Revolving Loans and other extensions of credit hereunder and the accrued interest and
fees in respect thereof, (y) to include reasonably appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders and (z) to make such other technical amendments as are reasonably deemed appropriate
by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in connection with the foregoing. 
 SECTION 9.03. Expenses; Indemnity; Damage
Waiver. (a) The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by 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 and administration of this Agreement or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof (whether or not the Transactions contemplated
hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by each 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 out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender, in
connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement, including its rights under this Section, or 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. 
 (b) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each
Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in
connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or the

  

 65 

 
consummation of the Transactions, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by any 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 the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or (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 and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses,
claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. 
 (c) To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent, an Issuing
Bank or the Swingline Lender under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, such Lender’s Applicable
Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the
case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender in its capacity as such. 
 (d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or
punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any other Credit Document, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof.

 (e) All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than 15 days after written demand therefor.

 SECTION 9.04. Successors and Assigns. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of any Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of
its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its
rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted
hereby (including any Affiliate of any Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the
Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. 
 (b)(i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees (other than the Borrower and its Affiliates) all or a portion of its rights and
obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of: 
  

 66 

 (A) the Borrower, provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be
required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee; and 
 (B) the Administrative Agent. 
 (ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions: 
 (A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans of any Class, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the
assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the executed Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; 
 (B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights
and obligations under this Agreement; 
 (C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the
Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; and 
 (D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire and shall agree to be bound by Section 9.12 hereof. 
 For the purposes of this Section 9.04(b), the term “Approved Fund” has the following meaning: 
 “Approved Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing
in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business and that is administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an Affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or
manages a Lender. 
 (iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) of this
Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of
a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and
Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03). Any assignment
or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in
accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section. 
 (iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as
an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices 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 Commitment of, and principal amount of the
Loans and LC Disbursements owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time

  

 67 

 
(the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank 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, the Issuing Banks and any Lender,
at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 
 (v) Upon its receipt of a duly
completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to
in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the
Register; provided that if either the assigning Lender or the assignee shall have failed to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.05(c), 2.06(d) or (e), 2.07(b), 2.18(d) or 9.03(c), the Administrative Agent shall have
no obligation to accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information therein in the Register unless and until such payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon. No assignment shall be effective for
purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph. 
 (c)(i)
Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such
Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged,
(B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank 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. 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 described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (b)(ii) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits
of Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the
benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.18(c) as though it were a Lender. 
 (ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.15 or 2.17 than the applicable
Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a
Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.17 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with
Section 2.17(e) as though it were a Lender. 
 (d) 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, and this Section shall not apply to any
such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a
party hereto. 
  

 68 

 SECTION 9.05. Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties
made by the Borrower herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery
of this Agreement and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may
have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee
or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 and Article VIII
shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof. 
 SECTION 9.06. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties
hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the
Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided
in Section 4.01, 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 which, when taken together, bear the signatures of
each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy
shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. 
 SECTION 9.07. Severability. Any
provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and
enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
 SECTION 9.08. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates
is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time
owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any of and all the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such
Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may
have. 
 SECTION 9.09. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) This Agreement shall be
construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York, but giving effect to federal laws applicable to national banks. 
 (b) The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County and
the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or for

  

 69 

 
recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard
and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions
by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this
Agreement against the Borrower or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction. 
 (c) The Borrower hereby
irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this
Agreement in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or
proceeding in any such court. 
 (d) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in
the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. 
 SECTION 9.10. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT
MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO
(A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT
IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION. 
 SECTION 9.11. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the
construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement. 
 SECTION 9.12. Confidentiality. Each
of the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers,
employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such
Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority, (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement,
(e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as
those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to
any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the consent of the Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this
Section or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower.

  

 70 

 
For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower relating to the Borrower or its business, other than any such information that is
available to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered
to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. 
 SECTION 9.13. USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56
(signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”) 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, which information
includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Act.
