 Jackson, Wyoming 83001 
  
 Dear Dick: 

 
 This letter summarizes the terms of your retirement as an employee of
Varian Semiconductor Equipment Associates, Inc. (“VSEA”), and your continuing role as Non-Executive Chairman (“Chairman”) of VSEA’s board of directors. 
  
 1. Role; Title. Effective as of January 3, 2006, VSEA’s board of directors has elected you to serve as its
chairman, with the title Non-Executive Chairman. 
  
 2.
Consulting Services. In addition to your service as VSEA’s Chairman, you have agreed to provide, without additional compensation, up to a maximum of 125 hours of such consulting and advisory services to VSEA as may be reasonably
requested from time to time by VSEA’s chief executive officer. 
  
 3. Term. This agreement shall commence on January 3, 2006, and end on December 31, 2006 (the “Term”), except that paragraphs 5 and 6 shall be effective on January 2, 2006. Good faith extension of this
Agreement shall be discussed at each November meeting of the board of directors or such other time as may be agreed upon by all of the directors. 
  
 4. Compensation. In consideration for your service as VSEA’s Chairman during the Term, VSEA shall pay you $200,000, paid periodically during
this Term in the same intervals as VSEA’s payroll practices. For clarity, it is understood, that any additional terms will be paid at the same $200k/year. The compensation described in this paragraph 4 shall be in lieu of any annual retainer to
which members of VSEA’s board of directors (including any committee thereof) are entitled, but shall not be in lieu of any per diem or similar per meeting or daily fees to which members of VSEA’s board of directors (including any committee
thereof) are entitled. 
  
 5. Restricted Stock. You shall
be granted a one time grant of 30,000 shares of restricted stock on January 2, 2006 pursuant to one of VSEA’s stock incentive plans. Such shares of restricted stock shall be immediately vested, and VSEA shall pay on your behalf the
purchase price required to be paid upon the issuance of such shares of restricted stock. 
  
 6. Stock Options. You agree that the restricted stock granted pursuant to paragraph 5 shall be the sole stock award that you will receive during this Term. Accordingly, you hereby waive any right to receive any
other stock award pursuant to any of VSEA’s stock incentive plans (including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 9 of VSEA’s Amended and Restated Omnibus Stock Plan) during this Term. Beginning January 1, 2007 (if you
continue to be a non-employee director of VSEA on such date) and for as long thereafter as you serve as a non-employee director of VSEA, you shall be 

 
entitled to any stock award that is granted generally to VSEA’s non-employee directors. For the avoidance of doubt, you shall not, during the Term or at
any time thereafter, be entitled to any stock awards that are made only to non-employee directors upon their initial appointment or election. It is understood that the annual stock award currently expected to be granted by VSEA to you and other
non-employee directors (other than any non-employee directors who are newly appointed or elected) during the 2007 calendar year is a fully-vested stock option to acquire 6,000 shares of VSEA’s common stock, with a term of eight years and an
exercise price equal to the fair market value (as determined by VSEA’s board of directors) on the date of grant, all in accordance with VSEA’s applicable stock incentive plan. 
  
 7. Automobile. On January 3, 2006, title to the car made available for your use under VSEA’s executive car
program shall be transferred to you, without the requirement of payment of any consideration by you. 
  
 8. Other Retirement Benefits. You shall be entitled to receive all benefits from time to time made available to VSEA’s retired executive
officers, including without limitation (and only to the extent it continues to be offered by VSEA) the right to purchase health insurance through VSEA (without any contribution by VSEA). 
  
 9. Expenses. VSEA shall reimburse you for all reasonable travel and other expenses incurred or paid by you in
connection with your service as VSEA’s Chairman, your role as a member of VSEA’s board of directors (or any committee thereof), or the consulting and advisory services described in paragraph 2, in accordance with VSEA’s expenses
policies and procedures. 
  
 10. Noncompetition. During the
Term and for one year thereafter, you agree that you will not, directly or indirectly, engage in any business or enterprise (whether as owner, partner, officer, director, employee, consultant, investor, lender or otherwise, except as the holder of
not more than 1% of the outstanding stock of a publicly-held company) that develops, manufactures, markets, licenses, sells or provides any product or service that competes with any product or service developed, manufactured, marketed, licensed,
sold or provided, or planned to be developed, manufactured, marketed, licensed, sold or provided, by VSEA. 
  
 11. Nonsolicitation. During the Term and for one year thereafter, you agree that you will not, directly or indirectly, either alone or in
association with others, (i) solicit, or permit any organization directly or indirectly controlled by you to solicit, any employee of VSEA to leave the employ of VSEA, or (ii) solicit for employment, hire or engage as an independent
contractor, or permit any organization directly or indirectly controlled by you to solicit for employment, hire or engage as an independent contractor, any person who was employed by VSEA at any time during the Term; provided, that this
clause (ii) shall not apply to the solicitation, hiring or engagement of any individual whose employment with VSEA has been terminated. 
  
 12. Severability. Any term or provision of this letter agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity
or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions hereof or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction. If any restriction set forth in paragraph 10 or 11 is found by
any court of competent jurisdiction to be 

  

 - 2 - 

 
unenforceable because it extends for too long a period of time or over too great a range of activities or in too broad a geographic area, it shall be
interpreted to extend only over the maximum period of time, range of activities or geographic area as to which it may be enforceable. 
  
 13. Equitable Remedies. The restrictions contained in paragraphs 10 and 11 are necessary for the protection of VSEA’s business and goodwill
and are considered by you to be reasonable for such purpose. You agree that any breach of paragraphs 10 or 11 is likely to cause VSEA substantial and irrevocable damage which is difficult to measure. Therefore, in the event of any such breach or
threatened breach, you agree that VSEA, in addition to such other remedies which may be available, shall have the right to obtain an injunction from a court restraining such a breach or threatened breach and the right to specific performance of the
provisions of paragraphs 10 and 11 and you hereby waive the adequacy of a remedy at law as a defense to such relief. 
  
 14. Entire Agreement. This letter agreement is the entire agreement between you and VSEA relating to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all
prior agreements and understandings among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. For the avoidance of doubt, as of January 3, 2006, (i) the Change in Control Agreement between you and VSEA shall be terminated and
(ii) the Employee Innovation and Proprietary Information Agreement between you and VSEA shall not be terminated pursuant to this paragraph 14, but shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms. 
  
 15. Miscellaneous. This letter agreement shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts (without reference to any conflicts of laws provisions that would cause the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction). Any action, suit or other legal proceeding
arising under or relating to any provision of this Agreement shall be commenced only in a court of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts (or, if appropriate, a federal court located within Massachusetts), and you and VSEA each consent to the
jurisdiction of such a court. You and VSEA each hereby irrevocably waive any right to a trial by jury in any action, suit or other legal proceeding arising under or relating to any provision of this Agreement. This letter agreement shall be binding
upon and inure to the benefit of both parties and their respective successors and assigns, including any corporation with which, or into which, VSEA may be merged or which may succeed to VSEA’s assets or business, provided,
however, that your obligations are personal and shall not be assigned by you.

(v) any Additional Term Loan shall not have a shorter maturity or higher Applicable Margin than the Term Loan, and shall have other terms and conditions reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, (vi) any Additional Loans shall be
entitled to the same voting rights as the existing Loans and shall be entitled to receive proceeds of prepayments on the same basis as comparable Loans, (vii)

  

 34 

 
any Additional Loans shall be obtained from existing Lenders or from other banks, financial institutions or investment funds, in each case in accordance with
the terms set forth below (such Persons being referred to herein as the “Additional Loan Lenders”), (viii) each Additional Loan shall be in a minimum principal amount of $10,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in
excess thereof, (ix) the proceeds of any Additional Loans will be used to finance capital expenditures and working capital and other general corporate purposes, including Permitted Acquisitions, (x) the Borrower shall execute such
promissory notes as are necessary and requested by the Additional Loan Lenders to reflect the Additional Loans, (xi) the conditions to Extensions of Credit in Section 4.1(b), (c), (o) and (h) and Section 4.2 shall have been

demonstrating that, after giving effect to any such Additional Loan, the Borrower will be in compliance with the financial covenants set forth in Section 6.6. Participation in any Additional Loans shall be offered first to each of the
existing Lenders on a pro rata basis, but none of such Lenders shall have any obligation to provide all or any portion of any such Additional Loans. If the amount of any Additional Loans requested by the Borrower shall exceed the commitments which
the existing Lenders are willing to provide with respect to such Additional Loans, then the Borrower may invite other banks, financial institutions and investment funds reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent to join this Credit Agreement
as Lenders hereunder for the portion of such Additional Loans not taken by existing Lenders, provided that such other banks, financial institutions and investment funds shall enter into such joinder agreements to give effect thereto as the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower may reasonably request. In the case of Additional Revolving Loans, the existing Lenders shall make such assignments (which assignments shall not be subject to the requirements set forth in
Section 9.6(c)) of the outstanding Revolving Loans and Participation Interests to the Additional Loan Lenders providing any Additional Revolving Loans so that, after giving effect to such assignments, each Lender holding a Revolving
Commitment (including such Additional Loan Lenders) will hold Revolving Loans and Participation Interests equal to its Commitment Percentage of all outstanding Revolving Loans and LOC Obligations. Notwithstanding any provision of this Credit
Agreement to the contrary, the Administrative Agent is authorized (with the consent of the Borrower and the Additional Loan Lenders), to enter into, on behalf of all Lenders, any amendment, modification or supplement to this Credit Agreement or any
other Credit Document as may be necessary to incorporate the terms of any Additional Loans. 
  
 Section 2.4 Letter of Credit Subfacility. 
  
 (a) Issuance. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and of the LOC Documents, if any, and any other terms and conditions which the Issuing Lender may reasonably require, during the Commitment Period the
Issuing Lender shall issue, and the Revolving Lenders shall participate in, Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrower from time to time upon request in a form acceptable to the Issuing Lender; provided, however, that
(i) the aggregate amount of LOC Obligations shall not at any time exceed NINETY MILLION DOLLARS ($90,000,000) (the “LOC Committed Amount”), (ii) the sum of outstanding Revolving Loans plus outstanding
Swingline Loans plus LOC Obligations shall not at any time exceed the Revolving Committed Amount, (iii) all Letters of Credit shall be denominated in U.S. Dollars and (iv) Letters of Credit 

  

 35 

 
shall be issued for lawful corporate purposes and may be issued as standby letters of credit, including in connection with workers’ compensation and
other insurance programs, and trade letters of credit. Except as otherwise expressly agreed upon by all the Revolving Lenders, no Letter of Credit shall have an original expiry date more than twelve (12) months from the date of issuance;
provided, however, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and subject to the other terms and conditions to the issuance of Letters of Credit hereunder, the expiry dates of Letters of Credit may be
extended annually or periodically from time to time on the request of the Borrower or by operation of the terms of the applicable Letter of Credit to a date not more than twelve (12) months from the date of extension; provided,
further, that no Letter of Credit, as originally issued or as extended, shall have an expiry date (or potential draw date) extending beyond the date that is ten (10) days prior to the Revolving Commitment Termination Date, unless such
Letter of Credit is or will be cash collateralized on terms satisfactory to the Issuing Lender. Each Letter of Credit shall comply with the related LOC Documents. The issuance and expiry date of each Letter of Credit shall be a Business Day. Any
Letters of Credit issued hereunder shall be in a minimum original face amount of $25,000 (or such lesser amount as approved by the Administrative Agent). Wachovia shall be the Issuing Lender on all Letters of Credit issued after the Closing Date.
The Borrower’s reimbursement obligations in respect of each Existing Letter of Credit, and each Lender’s participation obligations in connection therewith, shall be governed by the terms of this Credit Agreement. 
  
 (b) Notice and Reports. The request for the issuance of a Letter of
Credit shall be submitted to the Issuing Lender at least five (5) Business Days prior to the requested date of issuance, or such shorter period in each instance as may be agreed to by the Issuing Lender. The Issuing Lender will promptly upon
request provide to the Administrative Agent for dissemination to the Revolving Lenders a detailed report specifying the Letters of Credit which are then issued and outstanding and any activity with respect thereto which may have occurred since the
date of any prior report, and including therein, among other things, the account party, the beneficiary, the face amount, expiry date as well as any payments or expirations which may have occurred. The Issuing Lender will further provide to the
Administrative Agent promptly upon request copies of the Letters of Credit. The Issuing Lender will provide to the Administrative Agent promptly upon request a summary report of the nature and extent of LOC Obligations then outstanding. 

 
 (c) Participations. Each Revolving Lender, (i) on the Closing
Date with respect to each Existing Letter of Credit and (ii) upon issuance of any other Letter of Credit, shall be deemed to have purchased without recourse a risk participation from the Issuing Lender in such Letter of Credit and the
obligations arising thereunder and any collateral relating thereto, in each case in an amount equal to its Revolving Commitment Percentage of the obligations under such Letter of Credit and shall absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably assume,
as primary obligor and not as surety, and be obligated to pay to the Issuing Lender therefor and discharge when due, its Revolving Commitment Percentage of the obligations arising under such Letter of Credit. Without limiting the scope and nature of
each Revolving Lender’s participation in any Letter of Credit, to the extent that the Issuing Lender has not been reimbursed as required hereunder or under any LOC Document, each such Revolving Lender shall pay to the Issuing Lender its
Revolving Commitment Percentage of such unreimbursed drawing in same day funds on the day of notification by the Issuing Lender of an unreimbursed drawing pursuant to and in accordance 

  

 36 

 
with the provisions of subsection (d) hereof. The obligation of each Revolving Lender to so reimburse the Issuing Lender shall be absolute and
unconditional and shall not be affected by the occurrence of a Default, an Event of Default or any other occurrence or event. Any such reimbursement shall not relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the Issuing Lender
under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as hereinafter provided. 
  
 (d) Reimbursement. In the event of any drawing under any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender will promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. The Borrower shall reimburse the Issuing Lender on
the day on which the drawing under any Letter of Credit (with the proceeds of a Revolving Loan obtained hereunder or otherwise) is honored in same day funds as provided herein or in the LOC Documents. If the Borrower shall fail to reimburse the
Issuing Lender as provided herein, the unreimbursed amount of such drawing shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus two percent (2%) for so long as such amount shall be unreimbursed. Unless the Borrower
shall notify the Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent prior to 11:00 a.m. on the date the drawing is honored of its intent to otherwise reimburse the Issuing Lender, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Revolving Loan (a
“LOC Mandatory Borrowing”) in the amount of the drawing as provided in subsection (e) hereof, the proceeds of which will be used to satisfy the reimbursement obligations. The Borrower’s reimbursement obligations hereunder
shall be absolute and unconditional under all circumstances irrespective of any rights of set-off, counterclaim or defense to payment the Borrower may claim or have against the Issuing Lender, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the beneficiary
of the Letter of Credit drawn upon or any other Person, including without limitation any defense based on any failure of the Borrower to receive consideration or the legality, validity, regularity or unenforceability of the Letter of Credit. The
Issuing Lender will promptly notify the other Revolving Lenders of the amount of any unreimbursed drawing and each Revolving Lender shall promptly pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender in Dollars and in immediately
available funds, the amount of such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of such unreimbursed drawing. Such payment shall be made on the day such notice is received by such Revolving Lender from the Issuing Lender if such notice
is received at or before 2:00 p.m., otherwise such payment shall be made at or before 12:00 Noon on the Business Day next succeeding the day such notice is received. If such Revolving Lender does not pay such amount to the Issuing Lender
in full upon such request, such Revolving Lender shall, on demand, pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender interest on the unpaid amount during the period from the date of such drawing until such Revolving Lender pays
such amount to the Issuing Lender in full at a rate per annum equal to, if paid within two (2) Business Days of the date of drawing, the Federal Funds Effective Rate and thereafter at a rate equal to the Alternate Base Rate. Each Revolving
Lender’s obligation to make such payment to the Issuing Lender, and the right of the Issuing Lender to receive the same, shall be absolute and unconditional, shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever and without regard to the
termination of this Credit Agreement or the Commitments hereunder, the existence of a Default or Event of Default or the acceleration of the Credit Party Obligations under the Credit Documents and shall be made without any offset, abatement,
withholding or reduction whatsoever. 
  
 (e) Repayment with
Revolving Loans. On any day on which the Borrower shall have requested, or been deemed to have requested, a Revolving Loan to reimburse a drawing under a 

  

 37 

 
Letter of Credit, the Administrative Agent shall give notice to the Revolving Lenders that a Revolving Loan has been requested or deemed requested in
connection with a drawing under a Letter of Credit, in which case a Revolving Loan borrowing comprised entirely of Alternate Base Rate Loans shall be immediately made (without giving effect to any termination of the Commitments pursuant to
Section 7.2) pro rata based on each Revolving Lender’s respective Revolving Commitment Percentage (determined before giving effect to any termination of the Commitments pursuant to Section 7.2). The proceeds of such LOC
Mandatory Borrowing shall be paid directly to the Issuing Lender for application to the respective LOC Obligations. Each Revolving Lender hereby irrevocably agrees to make such Revolving Loans immediately upon any such request or deemed request on
account of each LOC Mandatory Borrowing in the amount and in the manner specified in the preceding sentence and on the same such date notwithstanding (i) the amount of LOC Mandatory Borrowing may not comply with the minimum amount for
borrowings of Revolving Loans otherwise required hereunder, (ii) whether any conditions specified in Section 4.2 are then satisfied, (iii) whether a Default or an Event of Default then exists, (iv) failure for any such request or
deemed request for Revolving Loan to be made by the time otherwise required in Section 2.1(b), (v) the date of such LOC Mandatory Borrowing, or (vi) any reduction in the Revolving Committed Amount after any such Letter of Credit may
have been drawn upon. In the event that any LOC Mandatory Borrowing cannot for any reason be made on the date otherwise required above (including, without limitation, as a result of the commencement of a proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code), then
each such Revolving Lender hereby agrees that it shall forthwith fund (as of the date the LOC Mandatory Borrowing would otherwise have occurred, but adjusted for any payments received from the Borrower on or after such date and prior to such
purchase) its Participation Interests in the outstanding LOC Obligations; provided, further, that in the event any Revolving Lender shall fail to fund its Participation Interest on the date the LOC Mandatory Borrowing would otherwise
have occurred, then the amount of such Revolving Lender’s unfunded Participation Interest therein shall bear interest payable by such Revolving Lender to the Issuing Lender upon demand, at the rate equal to, if paid within two (2) Business
Days of such date, the Federal Funds Effective Rate, and thereafter at a rate equal to the Alternate Base Rate. 
  
 (f) Modification, Extension. The issuance of any supplement, modification, amendment, renewal, or extension to any Letter of Credit shall, for
purposes hereof, be treated in all respects the same as the issuance of a new Letter of Credit hereunder. 
  
 (g) Uniform Customs and Practices. The Issuing Lender shall have the Letters of Credit be subject to The Uniform Customs and Practice for
Documentary Credits, as published as of the date of issue by the International Chamber of Commerce (the “UCP”), in which case the UCP may be incorporated therein and deemed in all respects to be a part thereof. 
  
 (h) Designation of Subsidiaries as Account Parties. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary set forth in this Credit Agreement, including without limitation Section 2.4(a), a Letter of Credit issued hereunder shall upon the request of the Borrower be issued for the account of any Subsidiary of the Borrower,
provided that notwithstanding such request, the Borrower shall be the actual account party for all purposes of this Credit Agreement for such Letter of Credit and such request shall not affect the Borrower’s reimbursement obligations hereunder
with respect to such Letter of Credit. 
  

 38 

 Section 2.5 Swingline Loan Subfacility. 
  
 (a) Swingline Commitment. During the Commitment Period, subject to
the terms and conditions hereof, the Swingline Lender, in its individual capacity, agrees to make certain revolving credit loans to the Borrower (each a “Swingline Loan” and, collectively, the “Swingline Loans”) for
the purposes hereinafter set forth; provided, however, (i) the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans outstanding at any time shall not exceed TEN MILLION DOLLARS ($10,000,000) (the “Swingline Committed
Amount”), and (ii) the sum of the outstanding Revolving Loans plus outstanding Swingline Loans plus LOC Obligations shall not exceed the Revolving Committed Amount. Swingline Loans hereunder may be repaid and reborrowed
in accordance with the provisions hereof. 
  
 (b) Swingline
Loan Borrowings. 
  
 (i) Notice of
Borrowing and Disbursement. The Swingline Lender will make Swingline Loans available to the Borrower on any Business Day upon written request made by the Borrower not later than 12:00 Noon on such Business Day. A notice of request for
Swingline Loan borrowing shall be made in the form of Schedule 2.1(b)(i) with appropriate modifications (which notice may be made by fax). 
  
 (ii) Repayment of Swingline Loans. Each Swingline Loan borrowing shall be due and payable on the Revolving Commitment Termination
Date. The Swingline Lender may, at any time, in its sole discretion, by written notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, demand repayment of its Swingline Loans by way of a Revolving Loan borrowing, in which case the Borrower shall be
deemed to have requested a Revolving Loan borrowing comprised entirely of Alternate Base Rate Loans in the amount of such Swingline Loans; provided, however, that, in the following circumstances, any such demand shall also be deemed to
have been given one Business Day prior to each of (i) the Revolving Commitment Termination Date, (ii) the occurrence of any Event of Default described in Section 7.1(f) or Section 7.1(g), (iii) upon acceleration of the
Credit Party Obligations under the Credit Documents, whether on account of an Event of Default described in Section 7.1(f) or Section 7.1(g) or any other Event of Default, and (iv) the exercise of remedies in accordance with the
provisions of Section 7.2 hereof (each such Revolving Loan borrowing made on account of any such deemed request therefor as provided herein being hereinafter referred to as a “Swingline Mandatory Borrowing”). Each Revolving
Lender hereby irrevocably agrees to make such Revolving Loans promptly upon any such request or deemed request on account of each Swingline Mandatory Borrowing in the amount and in the manner specified in the preceding sentence and on the same such
date notwithstanding (A) the amount of Swingline Mandatory Borrowing may not comply with the minimum amount for borrowings of Revolving Loans otherwise required hereunder, (B) whether any conditions specified in Section 4.2 are
then satisfied, (C) whether a Default or an Event of Default then exists, (D) failure of any such request or deemed request for Revolving Loans to be made by the time otherwise required in Section 2.1(b)(i), (E) the date of such
Swingline Mandatory Borrowing, or (F) any reduction in the Revolving Committed 

  

 39 

 
Amount or termination of the Revolving Commitments immediately prior to such Swingline Mandatory Borrowing or contemporaneously therewith. In the event that
any Swingline Mandatory Borrowing cannot for any reason be made on the date otherwise required above (including, without limitation, as a result of the commencement of a proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code), then each Revolving Lender hereby agrees
that it shall forthwith purchase (as of the date the Swingline Mandatory Borrowing would otherwise have occurred, but adjusted for any payments received from the Borrower on or after such date and prior to such purchase) from the Swingline Lender
such participations in the outstanding Swingline Loans as shall be necessary to cause each such Revolving Lender to share in such Swingline Loans ratably based upon its respective Revolving Commitment Percentage (determined before giving effect to
any termination of the Commitments pursuant to Section 7.2); provided that (I) all interest payable on the Swingline Loans shall be for the account of the Swingline Lender until the date as of which the respective Revolving
Lender’s participation is purchased, and (II) at the time any purchase of participations pursuant to this sentence is actually made, the purchasing Revolving Lender shall be required to pay to the Swingline Lender interest on the principal
amount of such participation purchased for each day from and including the date upon which the purchase occurs hereunder to but excluding the date of payment for such participation, at the rate equal to, if paid within two (2) Business Days of
the date of the Swingline Mandatory Borrowing, the Federal Funds Effective Rate, and thereafter at a rate equal to the Alternate Base Rate. 
  
 (c) Interest on Swingline Loans. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.10, Swingline Loans shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to
the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans that are Alternate Base Rate Loans. Interest on Swingline Loans shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date. 
  
 (d) Swingline Note. The Swingline Loans shall be evidenced by a duly
executed promissory note of the Borrower to the Swingline Lender in the original amount of the Swingline Committed Amount and substantially in the form of Schedule 2.5(d). 
  
 Section 2.6 Fees. 
  
 (a) Commitment Fee. In consideration of the Revolving Commitments, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative
Agent for the ratable benefit of the Revolving Lenders a commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”) in an amount equal to the Applicable Margin per annum on the average daily unused amount of the Revolving Committed Amount. For purposes
of computation of the Commitment Fee, LOC Obligations and Swingline Loans shall be considered usage of the Revolving Committed Amount. The Commitment Fee shall be payable quarterly on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter for such calendar
quarter then ending. 
  
 (b) Letter of Credit Fees. In
consideration of the LOC Commitments, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Issuing Lender for the ratable benefit of the Revolving Lenders a fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) equal to the Applicable Margin per annum on the average daily
maximum amount available to be drawn under each Letter of Credit from the date of issuance to the date of expiration. In addition to such Letter of Credit Fee, the Issuing Lender shall charge, 

  

 40 

 
and retain for its own account without sharing by the other Revolving Lenders, an additional facing fee (the “Letter of Credit Facing Fee”)
of one-quarter of one percent (0.25%) per annum on the average daily maximum amount available to be drawn under each such Letter of Credit issued by it. The Issuing Lender shall promptly pay over to the Administrative Agent for the ratable
benefit of the Revolving Lenders (including the Issuing Lender in its capacity as a Revolving Lender), the Letter of Credit Fee. The Letter of Credit Fee and the Letter of Credit Facing Fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business
Day of each calendar quarter for such calendar quarter then ending. 
  
 (c) Issuing Lender Fees. In addition to the Letter of Credit Fees payable pursuant to subsection (b) hereof, the Borrower shall pay to the Issuing Lender for its own account without sharing by the other Lenders the reasonable
and customary charges from time to time of the Issuing Lender with respect to the amendment, transfer, administration, cancellation and conversion of, and drawings under, such Letters of Credit (collectively, the “Issuing Lender
Fees”). 
  
 (d) Administrative Fee. The Borrower
agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent the annual administrative fee as described in the Fee Letter. 
  
 Section 2.7 Commitment Reductions. 
  
 (a) Voluntary Reductions. The Borrower shall have the right to terminate or permanently reduce the unused portion of the Revolving Committed Amount
at any time or from time to time upon not less than five Business Days’ prior notice (which notice may be made by fax) to the Administrative Agent (which shall notify the Revolving Lenders thereof as soon as practicable) of each such
termination or reduction, which notice shall specify the effective date thereof and the amount of any such reduction which shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof and shall be irrevocable and
effective upon receipt by the Administrative Agent, provided that no such reduction or termination shall be permitted if after giving effect thereto, and to any prepayments of the Loans made on the effective date thereof, the sum of the
outstanding Revolving Loans plus outstanding Swingline Loans plus LOC Obligations would exceed the Revolving Committed Amount. 
  
 (b) Revolving Commitment Termination Date. The Revolving Commitment, the Swingline Commitment and the LOC Commitment shall automatically terminate
on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date. 
  
 Section 2.8 Prepayments. 
  
 (a)
Optional Prepayments. The Borrower shall have the right to prepay Loans in whole or in part from time to time; provided, however, that each partial prepayment of a Revolving Loan and the Term Loan shall be in a minimum principal
amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $500,000 in excess thereof, and each partial prepayment of a Swingline Loan shall be in a minimum principal amount of $100,000 and integral multiples of $50,000 in excess thereof. The Borrower shall
give the Administrative Agent (which shall notify the Lenders thereof as soon as practicable) three Business Days’ irrevocable notice (which notice 

  

 41 

 
may be made by fax) of an optional payment in the case of LIBOR Rate Loans and one Business Day’s irrevocable notice in the case of Alternate Base Rate
Loans, such notice to be substantially in the form of Schedule 2.8(a). All optional prepayments pursuant to this Section 2.8(a) shall be applied as the Borrower may elect. All prepayments under this Section 2.8(a) shall be subject
to Section 2.18, but otherwise without premium or penalty. Interest on the principal amount prepaid shall be payable on the date that a prepayment is made hereunder through the date of prepayment. Amounts prepaid on the Term Loan may not be
reborrowed. 
  
 (b) Mandatory Prepayments. 
  
 (i) Revolving Committed Amount. If at any time after
the Closing Date, the sum of the outstanding Revolving Loans plus outstanding Swingline Loans plus LOC Obligations shall exceed the Revolving Committed Amount, the Borrower immediately shall prepay the Loans in an amount sufficient to
eliminate such excess (such prepayment to be applied as set forth in clause (vi) below). 
  
 (ii) Asset Dispositions. Promptly following any Asset Disposition in excess of $10,000,000 in the aggregate (for all Asset
Dispositions) in any Fiscal Year, the Borrower shall prepay the Loans and/or cash collateralize the LOC Obligations in an aggregate amount equal to the Net Cash Proceeds derived from such Asset Disposition (such prepayment to be applied as set forth
in clause (vi) below); provided, however, that so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such Net Cash Proceeds shall not be required to be so applied to the extent the Borrower delivers to the
Administrative Agent a certificate stating that the Borrower intends to reinvest such Net Cash Proceeds in additional assets or properties utilized or intended to be utilized in any business permitted under Section 6.12 (including Permitted
Acquisitions) within 270 days of the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds, it being expressly agreed that any Net Cash Proceeds not so reinvested by the end of the applicable period shall be applied to repay the Loans and/or cash collateralize the
LOC Obligations immediately thereafter. 
  

 42 

 (iii) Issuances. Immediately upon receipt by any Credit Party of proceeds from
(A) any Debt Issuance, the Borrower shall prepay the Loans in an aggregate amount equal to (1) if such Debt Issuance is made pursuant to Section 6.1(f), fifty percent (50%) of the Net Cash Proceeds of such Debt Issuance;
provided that if such Debt Issuance is made in replacement of, or exchange for, Subordinated Indebtedness permitted under Section 6.1(f) or all or substantially all of the proceeds of such Debt Issuance are used to consummate a Permitted
Acquisition, then no prepayment shall be required, and (2) if such Debt Issuance is any other Debt Issuance, one hundred percent (100%) of the Net Cash Proceeds of such Debt Issuance (each such prepayment to be applied as set forth in
clause (vi) below), or (B) any Equity Issuance, the Borrower shall prepay the Loans and/or cash collateralize the LOC Obligations in an aggregate amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the Net Cash Proceeds of such Equity Issuance
(such prepayment to be applied as set forth in clause (vi) below; provided that (1) if such Equity Issuance is made in replacement of, or exchange for, Subordinated Indebtedness permitted under Section 6.1(f) or all or
substantially all of the proceeds of such Equity Issuance are used to consummate a Permitted Acquisition or (2) if the Consolidated Leverage Ratio of the Borrower is less than or equal to 3.50 to 1.00 as of the most recently ended Fiscal
Quarter, then no prepayment shall be required. 
  
 (iv) Recovery Event. Promptly following the receipt of Cash proceeds from a Recovery Event in excess of $5,000,000 in the aggregate (for all Recovery Events) in any Fiscal Year, the Borrower shall prepay the Loans and/or cash
collateralize the LOC Obligations in an aggregate amount equal to such Net Cash Proceeds (such prepayment to be applied as set forth in clause (vi) below); provided, however, that, so long as no Default or Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing at the time of such Recovery Event, (A) the Borrower and its Subsidiaries may retain Net Cash Proceeds consisting of business interruption insurance proceeds and (B) any other Net Cash Proceeds shall not be
required to be so applied to the extent the Borrower delivers to the Administrative Agent a certificate stating that the Borrower intends to use such Net Cash Proceeds to repair, restore or replace the assets subject to the Recovery Event within
360 days of the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds or, to the extent the Borrower can demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Administrative Agent that the Borrower is continuing to make good faith efforts to repair or replace the damaged
properties, such later date as approved by the Administrative Agent, it being expressly agreed that any Net Cash Proceeds not so reinvested by the end of the applicable period shall be applied to repay the Loans and/or cash collateralize the LOC
Obligations immediately thereafter. 
  
 (v)
Excess Cash Flow. If the Consolidated Leverage Ratio is greater than 3.50 to 1.0 at the end of any Fiscal Year (commencing with the Fiscal Year ending September 29, 2006), within 90 days after such Fiscal Year end, the Borrower shall
prepay the Loans and/or cash collateralize the LOC Obligations in an amount equal to the lesser of (a) 50% of the Excess Cash Flow earned during such Fiscal Year minus any voluntary prepayments of the Term Loan pursuant to
Section 2.8(a) made during such Fiscal Year or (b) the amount of prepayment necessary to lower the Consolidated Leverage Ratio to 3.50 to 1.00, after giving pro forma effect to such prepayment. Any payments of Excess Cash Flow shall be
applied as set forth in clause (vi) below. 
  

 43 

 (vi) Application of Mandatory Prepayments. All amounts required to be paid
pursuant to this Section 2.8(b) shall be applied as follows: (A) with respect to all amounts prepaid pursuant to Section 2.8(b)(i), to the Revolving Loans and then (after all Revolving Loans have been repaid) to a Cash collateral
account in respect of LOC Obligations, (B) with respect to all amounts prepaid pursuant to Sections 2.8(b)(ii) through (v), (1) first, pro rata to the Term Loan (ratably to the remaining amortization payments relating thereto) and
(2) second, to the Revolving Loans without a corresponding reduction in the Revolving Commitments and (after all Revolving Loans have been repaid) to the Collateral Account in respect of LOC Obligations. Within the parameters of the
applications set forth above, prepayments shall be applied first to Alternate Base Rate Loans and then to LIBOR Rate Loans in direct order of Interest Period maturities. All prepayments under this Section 2.8(b) shall be subject to
Section 2.18 and be accompanied by interest on the principal amount prepaid through the date of prepayment. In the event any amount required to be paid pursuant to this Section 2.8(b) is required to be applied to repay any LIBOR Rate Loan
on any day other than the last day of the applicable Interest Period, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower may request that such repayment amounts not be applied to the applicable LIBOR Rate Loan
immediately, but rather be deposited in the Collateral Account. The Administrative Agent shall apply all such deposited amounts to repay the applicable LIBOR Rate Loans, in each case as of the last day of their respective Interest Periods (or, at
the direction of the Borrower, at any earlier date) until the allocable amounts held in the Collateral Account for payment of such LIBOR Rate Loans have been exhausted. Upon the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default, the Administrative
Agent may, in its sole discretion, immediately apply all amounts held in the Collateral Account for payment of LIBOR Rate Loans to satisfy any of the Obligations. 
  
 (c) Hedging Obligations Unaffected. Any prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.8 shall not affect the
Borrower’s obligation to continue to make payments under any Hedging Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such prepayment, subject to the terms of such Hedging Agreement. 
  
 Section 2.9 Minimum Borrowing Amounts and Principal Amount of
Tranches; Lending Offices. 
  
 (a) Minimum Borrowing
Amounts. Each Revolving Loan which is an Alternate Base Rate Loan shall be in a minimum aggregate amount of $1,000,000 and in integral multiples of $50,000 in excess thereof (or the remaining amount of the Revolving Committed Amount, if less).
Each Revolving Loan which is a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be in a minimum aggregate amount of $2,000,000 and in integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof. Each Term Loan which is an Alternate Base Rate Loan shall be in a minimum aggregate amount
of $1,000,000 and in integral multiples of $50,000 in excess thereof. Each Term Loan which is a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be in a minimum aggregate amount of $3,000,000 and in integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof. Each Swingline Loan
borrowing shall be in a minimum aggregate amount of $50,000 and in integral amounts of $25,000 in excess thereof. 
  

 44 

 (b) Tranches. All borrowings, payments and prepayments in respect of Revolving Loans and the Term
Loan shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that after giving effect thereto the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Loans and the Term Loan comprising any Tranche shall be (a) with respect to Alternate
Base Rate Loans, $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $50,000 in excess thereof and (b) with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans, $2,000,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. 
  
 (c) Lending Offices. LIBOR Rate Loans shall be made by each Lender at its LIBOR Lending Office and Alternate Base
Rate Loans at its Domestic Lending Office. 
  
 Section 2.10 Default Rate and Payment Dates. 
  
 Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at the option of the Required Lenders, the principal of and, to the extent permitted by law, interest on the Loans and any other amounts owing
hereunder or under the other Credit Documents shall bear interest, payable on demand, at a per annum rate 2% greater than the rate which would otherwise be applicable (or if no rate is applicable, whether in respect of interest, fees or other
amounts, then the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin plus 2%). 
  
 Section 2.11 Conversion Options. 
  
 (a) The Borrower may, in the case of Revolving Loans and the Term Loan, elect from time to time to convert Alternate Base Rate Loans to LIBOR Rate Loans, by giving the Administrative Agent at least three Business
Days’ prior irrevocable written notice (which notice may be by fax) of such election. A form of Notice of Conversion/ Extension is attached as Schedule 2.11. If the date upon which an Alternate Base Rate Loan is to be converted to a
LIBOR Rate Loan is not a Business Day, then such conversion shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and during the period from such last day of an Interest Period to such succeeding Business Day such Loan shall bear interest as if it were
an Alternate Base Rate Loan. All or any part of outstanding Alternate Base Rate Loans may be converted as provided herein; provided that (i) no Loan may be converted into a LIBOR Rate Loan when any Default or Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing and (ii) partial conversions shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $2,000,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof, or in any amount less than $2,000,000 which may represent the aggregate principal
amount of all outstanding LIBOR Rate Loans. 
  
 (b) Any LIBOR Rate
Loans may be continued as such upon the expiration of an Interest Period with respect thereto by compliance by the Borrower with the notice provisions contained in Section 2.11(a); provided, that no LIBOR Rate Loan may be continued as
such when any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in which case such Loan shall be automatically converted to an Alternate Base Rate Loan at the end of the applicable Interest Period with respect thereto. If the Borrower
shall fail to give timely notice of an election to continue a LIBOR Rate Loan, or the continuation of LIBOR Rate Loans is not permitted hereunder, such LIBOR Rate Loans shall be automatically converted to Alternate Base Rate Loans at the end of the
applicable Interest Period with respect thereto. 
  

 45 

 Section 2.12 Computation of Interest and Fees. 
  
 (a) Interest payable hereunder with respect to Alternate Base Rate Loans
based on the Prime Rate shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days, as applicable) for the actual days elapsed. All other fees, interest and all other amounts payable hereunder shall be calculated on the basis of a
360 day year for the actual days elapsed. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the Lenders of each determination of a LIBOR Rate on the Business Day of the determination thereof. Any change in the
interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the Alternate Base Rate shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change in the Alternate Base Rate shall become effective. The Administrative Agent shall as soon
as practicable notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change. 
  
 (b) Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Credit Agreement shall be conclusive and binding
on the Borrower and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Borrower, deliver to the Borrower a statement showing the computations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any
interest rate. 
  
 (c) It is the intent of the Lenders and the
Credit Parties to conform to and contract in strict compliance with applicable usury law from time to time in effect. All agreements between the Lenders and the Credit Parties are hereby limited by the provisions of this paragraph which shall
override and control all such agreements, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether written or oral. In no way, nor in any event or contingency (including but not limited to prepayment or acceleration of the maturity of any Obligation),
shall the interest taken, reserved, contracted for, charged, or received under this Credit Agreement, under the Notes or otherwise, exceed the maximum nonusurious amount permissible under applicable law. If, from any possible construction of any of
the Credit Documents or any other document, interest would otherwise be payable in excess of the maximum nonusurious amount, any such construction shall be subject to the provisions of this paragraph and such interest shall be automatically reduced
to the maximum nonusurious amount permitted under applicable law, without the necessity of execution of any amendment or new document. If any Lender shall ever receive anything of value which is characterized as interest on the Loans under
applicable law and which would, apart from this provision, be in excess of the maximum nonusurious amount, an amount equal to the amount which would have been excessive interest shall, without penalty, be applied to the reduction of the principal
amount owing on the Loans and not to the payment of interest, or refunded to the Borrower or the other payor thereof if and to the extent such amount which would have been excessive exceeds such unpaid principal amount of the Loans. The right to
demand payment of the Loans or any other Indebtedness evidenced by any of the Credit Documents does not include the right to receive any interest which has not otherwise accrued on the date of such demand, and the Lenders do not intend to charge or
receive any unearned interest in the event of such demand. All interest paid or agreed to be paid to the Lenders with respect to the Loans shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the
full stated term (including any renewal or extension) of the Loans so that the amount of interest on account of such indebtedness does not exceed the maximum nonusurious amount permitted by applicable law. 
  

 46 

 Section 2.13 Pro Rata Treatment and Payments. 
  
 (a) Each borrowing of Revolving Loans and any reduction of the Revolving
Commitments shall be made pro rata according to the respective Revolving Commitment Percentages of the Revolving Lenders. Subject to the terms of this Section 2.13(a) and to Section 2.13(b), each payment under this Credit
Agreement or any Note shall be applied, first, to any fees then due and owing by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.6, second, to interest then due and owing in respect of the Credit Party Obligations of the Borrower, third, to principal then
due and owing hereunder and under the Credit Party Obligations of the Borrower and, fourth, to all amounts then due and owing in respect of the Credit Party Obligations. Each payment on account of any fees pursuant to Section 2.6 shall be made
pro rata in accordance with the respective amounts due and owing (except as to the portion of the Letter of Credit retained by the Issuing Lender and the Issuing Lender Fees). Each payment (other than prepayments) by the Borrower on
account of principal of and interest on the Revolving Loans and on the Term Loan shall be made pro rata to the Lenders according to the respective amounts due and owing. Prepayments made pursuant to Section 2.16 shall be applied
in accordance with such Section. Each mandatory prepayment on account of principal of the Loans shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.8(b). All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrower on account of principal,
interest, fees and other amounts shall be made without defense, set-off or counterclaim (except as provided in Section 2.19(b)) and shall be made to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders at the Administrative Agent’s
office on record with the Borrower in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 12:00 Noon on the date when due. The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to the Lenders entitled thereto promptly upon receipt in
like funds as received. If any payment hereunder (other than payments on the LIBOR Rate Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, with respect to
payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension. If any payment on a LIBOR Rate Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the
next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. 
  
 (b) Allocation of Payments After Exercise of Remedies. Notwithstanding
any other provisions of this Credit Agreement to the contrary, after the exercise of remedies (other than the invocation of default interest pursuant to Section 2.10) by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders pursuant to Section 7.2 (or
after the Commitments shall automatically terminate and the Loans (with accrued interest thereon) and all other amounts under the Credit Documents (including without limitation the maximum amount of all contingent liabilities under Letters of
Credit) shall automatically become due and payable in accordance with the terms of such Section), all amounts collected or received by the Administrative Agent or any Lender on account of the Credit Party Obligations or any other amounts outstanding
under any of the Credit Documents or in respect of the Collateral shall be paid over or delivered as follows: 
  

 47 

 FIRST, to the payment of all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including,
without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ and consultants’ fees) of the Administrative Agent in connection with enforcing the rights of the Lenders under the Credit Documents and any protective advances made by the Administrative Agent
with respect to the Collateral under or pursuant to the terms of the Security Documents; 
  
 SECOND, to payment of any fees owed to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such; 
  
 THIRD, to the payment of all reasonable and documented
out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ and consultants’ fees) of each of the Lenders in connection with enforcing its rights under the Credit Documents or otherwise with respect to the Credit
Party Obligations owing to such Lender; 
  
 FOURTH, to the payment of all of the Credit Party Obligations consisting of accrued fees and interest, and including with respect to any Secured Hedging Agreement, any fees, premiums and scheduled periodic payments due under such Secured
Hedging Agreement and any interest accrued thereon; 
  
 FIFTH, to the payment of the outstanding principal amount of the Credit Party Obligations and the payment or cash collateralization of the outstanding LOC Obligations, and including with respect to any Secured Hedging Agreement, any
breakage, termination or other payments due under such Secured Hedging Agreement and any interest accrued thereon; 
  
 SIXTH, to all other Credit Party Obligations and other obligations which shall have become due and payable under the Credit Documents or
otherwise and not repaid pursuant to clauses “FIRST” through “FIFTH” above; 
  
 SEVENTH, the payment of the surplus to whomever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus. 
  
 In carrying out the foregoing, (i) amounts received shall be applied in the numerical
order provided until exhausted prior to application to the next succeeding category; (ii) each of the Lenders shall receive an amount equal to its pro rata share (based on the proportion that the then outstanding Loans and LOC Obligations held
by such Lender bears to the aggregate then outstanding Loans and LOC Obligations) of amounts available to be applied pursuant to clauses ”THIRD”, “FOURTH”, “FIFTH,” and “SIXTH” above; and (iii) to
the extent that any amounts available for distribution pursuant to clause ”FIFTH” above are attributable to the issued but undrawn amount of outstanding Letters of Credit, such amounts shall be held by the Administrative Agent in the
Collateral Account and applied (A) first, to reimburse the Issuing Lender from time to time for any drawings under such Letters of Credit and (B) then, following the expiration of all Letters of Credit, to all other obligations of the
types described in clauses ”FIFTH,” and “SIXTH” above, and thereafter pursuant to clause “SEVENTH,” in the manner provided in this Section 2.13(b). Notwithstanding the foregoing terms of this
Section 2.13(b), only Collateral proceeds and payments under the Guaranty with respect to Secured Hedging Agreements shall be applied to obligations under any Secured Hedging Agreement. 
  

 48 

 Section 2.14 Non-Receipt of Funds by the Administrative Agent. 
  
 (a) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by a
Lender prior to the date and time a Loan is to be made by such Lender (which notice shall be effective upon receipt) that such Lender does not intend to make the proceeds of such Loan available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent
may assume that such Lender has made such proceeds available to the Administrative Agent on such date, and the Administrative Agent may in reliance upon such assumption (but shall not be required to) make available to the Borrower a corresponding
amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall be able to recover such corresponding amount from such Lender. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount
forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower, and the Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative
Agent. The Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover from the Lender or the Borrower, as the case may be, interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by the
Administrative Agent to the Borrower to the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent at a per annum rate equal to (i) from the Borrower at the applicable rate for the applicable borrowing pursuant to the Notice of
Borrowing and (ii) from a Lender at the Federal Funds Effective Rate. 
  
 (b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by the Borrower, prior to the date on which any payment is due from it hereunder (which notice shall be effective upon receipt) that the Borrower
does not intend to make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment when due, and the Administrative Agent may in reliance upon such assumption (but shall not be required to) make available to each
Lender on such payment date an amount equal to the portion of such assumed payment to which such Lender is entitled hereunder, and if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment to the Administrative Agent, such Lender shall, on demand, repay to
the Administrative Agent the amount made available to such Lender. If such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent on a date after the date such amount was made available to such Lender, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent on
demand interest on such amount in respect of each day from the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to such Lender to the date such amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent at a per annum rate equal to the Federal
Funds Effective Rate. 
  
 (c) A certificate of the Administrative
Agent submitted to the Borrower or any Lender with respect to any amount owing under this Section 2.14 shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Borrower, deliver to the Borrower
a statement showing the computations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate. 
  

 49 

 Section 2.15 Inability to Determine Interest Rate. 
  
 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Credit Agreement, if
(i) the Administrative Agent shall reasonably determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, reasonable and adequate means do not exist for
ascertaining LIBOR for such Interest Period, or (ii) the Required Lenders shall reasonably determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that the LIBOR Rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost
to such Lenders of funding LIBOR Rate Loans that the Borrower has requested be outstanding as a LIBOR Tranche during such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give telephone notice of such determination, confirmed in
writing, to the Borrower, and the Lenders at least two Business Days prior to the first day of such Interest Period. Unless the Borrower shall have notified the Administrative Agent upon receipt of such telephone notice that they wish to rescind or
modify their request regarding such LIBOR Rate Loans, any Loans that were requested to be made as LIBOR Rate Loans shall be made as Alternate Base Rate Loans and any Loans that were requested to be converted into or continued as LIBOR Rate Loans
shall remain as or be converted into Alternate Base Rate Loans. Until any such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no further Loans shall be made as, continued as, or converted into, LIBOR Rate Loans for the Interest Periods so
affected. 
  
 Section 2.16 Illegality.

  
 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Credit
Agreement, if the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof by the relevant Governmental Authority to any Lender shall make it unlawful for such Lender or its LIBOR Lending Office to make or
maintain LIBOR Rate Loans as contemplated by this Credit Agreement or to obtain in the interbank eurodollar market through its LIBOR Lending Office the funds with which to make such Loans, (a) such Lender shall promptly notify the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower thereof, (b) the commitment of such Lender hereunder to make LIBOR Rate Loans or continue LIBOR Rate Loans as such shall forthwith be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall give notice that the
condition or situation which gave rise to the suspension shall no longer exist, and (c) such Lender’s Loans then outstanding as LIBOR Rate Loans, if any, shall be converted on the last day of the Interest Period for such Loans or within
such earlier period as required by law as Alternate Base Rate Loans. The Borrower hereby agrees to promptly pay any Lender, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for actual and direct costs (but not including
anticipated profits) reasonably incurred by such Lender in making any repayment in accordance with this Section including, but not limited to, any interest or fees payable by such Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to make or
maintain its LIBOR Rate Loans hereunder. A certificate (which certificate shall include a description of the basis for the computation) as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted by such Lender, through the
Administrative Agent, to the Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Each Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts (including reasonable efforts to change its LIBOR Lending Office) to avoid or to minimize any amounts which may
otherwise be payable pursuant to this Section; provided, however, that such efforts shall not cause the imposition on such Lender of any additional costs or legal or regulatory burdens deemed by such Lender in its sole discretion to be
material. 
  

 50 

 Section 2.17 Requirements of Law. 
  
 (a) If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the
interpretation or application thereof or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof: 
  
 (i) shall subject such Lender to any tax of any kind
whatsoever with respect to any Letter of Credit or any application relating thereto, any LIBOR Rate Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof (except for tax on or determined by reference to the
overall net income or profits of such Lender and changes in the rate of such tax); 
  
 (ii) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by,
deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender which is not otherwise included in the determination of the LIBOR Rate
hereunder; or 
  
 (iii) shall impose on such
Lender any other condition; 
  
 and the result of any of the
foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining LIBOR Rate Loans or the Letters of Credit or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder or under any Note, then, in any such case, the Borrower shall promptly pay such Lender,
upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for such additional cost or reduced amount receivable which such Lender reasonably deems to be material as determined by such Lender with respect to its LIBOR Rate Loans or
Letters of Credit. A certificate (which certificate shall include a description of the basis for the computation) as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted by such Lender, through the Administrative Agent, to the
Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Each Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts (including reasonable efforts to change its Domestic Lending Office or LIBOR Lending Office, as the case may be) to avoid or to minimize any
amounts which might otherwise be payable pursuant to this Section; provided, however, that such efforts shall not cause the imposition on such Lender of any additional costs or legal or regulatory burdens deemed by such Lender to be
material. 
  
 (b) If any Lender shall have reasonably determined
that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding
capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof does or shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such
corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or such 

  

 51 

 
corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such corporation’s policies
with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount reasonably deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, within fifteen (15) days after demand by such Lender, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount as shall
be certified by such Lender as being required to compensate it for such reduction. Such a certificate as to any additional amounts payable under this Section submitted by a Lender (which certificate shall include a description of the basis for
the computation), through the Administrative Agent, to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
  
 (c) The agreements in this Section 2.17 shall survive the termination of this Credit Agreement and payment of the Notes and all other amounts payable
hereunder. 
  
 Section 2.18 Indemnity.

  
 The Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify each Lender and
to hold such Lender harmless from any funding loss or expense which such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by the Borrower in payment of the principal amount of or interest on any Loan by such Lender in accordance with
the terms hereof, (b) default by the Borrower in accepting a borrowing after the Borrower has given a notice in accordance with the terms hereof, (c) default by the Borrower in making any prepayment after the Borrower has given a notice in
accordance with the terms hereof, and/or (d) the making by the Borrower of a prepayment of a Loan, or the conversion thereof, on a day which is not the last day of the Interest Period with respect thereto, in each case including, but not
limited to, any such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by such Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain its Loans hereunder. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section (which
certificate shall include a description of the basis for the computation) submitted by any Lender, through the Administrative Agent, to the Borrower (which certificate must be delivered to the Administrative Agent within thirty days following such
default, prepayment or conversion) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The agreements in this Section shall survive termination of this Credit Agreement and payment of the Notes and all other amounts payable hereunder.

  
 Section 2.19 Taxes. 
  
 (a) All payments made by the Borrower hereunder or under any Note shall be,
except as provided in Section 2.19(b), made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges of whatever nature now or hereafter imposed by any
Governmental Authority or by any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein with respect to such payments (but excluding any tax imposed on or measured by the net income or profits of a Lender pursuant to the laws of (i) the
jurisdiction in which it is organized, (ii) the jurisdiction in which the principal office or applicable lending office of such Lender is located or any subdivision thereof or therein or (iii) a jurisdiction in which a Lender is deemed to
be doing business and all interest, penalties or similar liabilities with respect thereto (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges being referred to collectively as “Taxes”). If any
Taxes are so 

  

 52 

 
levied or imposed, the Borrower agrees to pay the full amount of such Taxes, and such additional amounts as may be necessary so that every payment of all
amounts due under this Credit Agreement or under any Note, after withholding or deduction for or on account of any Taxes, will not be less than the amount provided for herein or in such Note. The Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent as
soon as practicable after the date the payment of any Taxes is due pursuant to applicable law certified copies (to the extent reasonably available and required by law) of tax receipts evidencing such payment by the Borrower. The Borrower agrees to
indemnify and hold harmless each Lender, and reimburse such Lender upon its written request, for the amount of any Taxes so levied or imposed and paid by such Lender. 
  
 (b) Each Lender that is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) agrees
to deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the Closing Date, or in the case of a Lender that is an assignee or transferee of an interest under this Credit Agreement pursuant to Section 9.6(d) (unless the respective
Lender was already a Lender hereunder immediately prior to such assignment or transfer), on the date of such assignment or transfer to such Lender, (i) if the Lender is a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the
Code, two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI (or successor forms) certifying such Lender’s entitlement to a complete exemption from United States withholding tax with respect to
payments to be made under this Credit Agreement and under any Note, or (ii) if the Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, either Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI as set
forth in clause (i) above, or (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Schedule 2.19 (any such certificate, a “2.19 Certificate”) and (y) two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal
Revenue Service Form W-8 (or successor form) certifying such Lender’s entitlement to an exemption from United States withholding tax with respect to payments of interest to be made under this Credit Agreement and under any Note. In
addition, each Lender agrees that it will deliver upon the Borrower’s request updated versions of the foregoing, as applicable, whenever the previous certification has become obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, together with such
other forms as may be required in order to confirm or establish the entitlement of such Lender to a continued exemption from or reduction in United States withholding tax with respect to payments under this Credit Agreement and any Note.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 2.19(a), but subject to the immediately succeeding sentence, (x) the Borrower shall be entitled, to the extent it is required to do so by law, to deduct or withhold Taxes
imposed by the United States (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) from interest, fees or other amounts payable hereunder for the account of any Lender which is not a United States person (as such term is defined in
Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for U.S. Federal income tax purposes to the extent that such Lender has not provided to the Borrower U.S. Internal Revenue Service Forms that establish a complete exemption from such deduction or withholding and
(y) the Borrower shall not be obligated pursuant to Section 2.19(a) hereof to gross-up payments to be made to a Lender in respect of Taxes imposed by the United States if (I) such Lender has not provided to the Borrower the Internal
Revenue Service Forms required to be provided to the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.19(b) or (II) in the case of a payment, other than interest, to a Lender described in clause (ii) above, to the extent that such Forms do not
establish a complete exemption from withholding of such Taxes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the preceding sentence or elsewhere in this Section 2.19, the Borrower agrees to pay 

  

 53 

 
additional amounts and to indemnify each Lender in the manner set forth in Section 2.19(a) (without regard to the identity of the jurisdiction requiring
the deduction or withholding) in respect of any amounts deducted or withheld by it as described in the immediately preceding sentence as a result of any changes after the Closing Date in any applicable law, treaty, governmental rule, regulation,
guideline or order, or in the interpretation thereof, relating to the deducting or withholding of Taxes. 
  
 (c) Each Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts (including reasonable efforts to change its Domestic Lending Office or LIBOR Lending Office, as the case
may be) to avoid or to minimize any amounts which might otherwise be payable pursuant to this Section; provided, however, that such efforts shall not cause the imposition on such Lender of any additional costs or legal or regulatory
burdens deemed by such Lender in its sole discretion to be material. 
  
 (d) If the Borrower pays any additional amount pursuant to this Section 2.19 with respect to a Lender, such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to obtain a refund of tax or credit against its tax liabilities on account of such payment;
provided that such Lender shall have no obligation to use such reasonable efforts if either (i) it is in an excess foreign tax credit position or (ii) it believes in good faith, in its sole discretion, that claiming a refund or
credit would cause adverse tax consequences to it. In the event that such Lender receives such a refund or credit, such Lender shall pay to the Borrower an amount that such Lender reasonably determines is equal to the net tax benefit obtained by
such Lender as a result of such payment by the Borrower. In the event that no refund or credit is obtained with respect to the Borrower’s payments to such Lender pursuant to this Section 2.19, then such Lender shall upon request provide a
certification that such Lender has not received a refund or credit for such payments. Nothing contained in this Section 2.19(d) shall require a Lender to disclose or detail the basis of its calculation of the amount of any tax benefit or any
other amount or the basis of its determination referred to in the proviso to the first sentence of this Section 2.19(d) to the Borrower or any other party. 
  

(e) The agreements in this Section 2.19 shall survive the termination of this Credit Agreement and the payment of the Notes and all other amounts
payable hereunder. 
  
 Section 2.20 Indemnification;
Nature of Issuing Lender’s Duties. 
  
 (a) In
addition to its other obligations under Section 2.4, the Borrower hereby agrees to protect, indemnify, pay and save each Issuing Lender harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, charges and
expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) that the Issuing Lender may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of (i) the issuance of any Letter of Credit or (ii) the failure of the Issuing Lender to honor a
drawing under a Letter of Credit as a result of any act or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto government or governmental authority (all such acts or omissions, herein called “Government
Acts”). 
  
 (b) As between the Borrower and the Issuing
Lender, the Borrower shall assume all risks of the acts, omissions or misuse of any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof. The Issuing Lender shall not be responsible: (i) for the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or
legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the 

  

 54 

 
application for and issuance of any Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate,
fraudulent or forged; (ii) for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, that
may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) for failure of the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit to comply fully with conditions required in order to draw upon a Letter of Credit; (iv) for errors, omissions, interruptions
or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (v) for errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) for any loss or delay in the transmission or
otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under a Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; and (vii) for any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Lender, including, without limitation, any
Government Acts. None of the above shall affect, impair, or prevent the vesting of the Issuing Lender’s rights or powers hereunder. 
  
 (c) In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific provisions hereinabove set forth, any action taken or omitted by the Issuing
Lender, under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or the related certificates, if taken or omitted in good faith, shall not put the Issuing Lender under any resulting liability to the Borrower. It is the intention of the parties that this
Credit Agreement shall be construed and applied to protect and indemnify the Issuing Lender against any and all risks involved in the issuance of the Letters of Credit, all of which risks are hereby assumed by the Borrower, including, without
limitation, any and all risks of the acts or omissions, whether rightful or wrongful, of any Government Authority. The Issuing Lender shall not, in any way, be liable for any failure by the Issuing Lender or anyone else to pay any drawing under any
Letter of Credit as a result of any Government Acts or any other cause beyond the control of the Issuing Lender. 
  
 (d) Nothing in this Section 2.20 is intended to limit the reimbursement obligation of the Borrower contained in Section 2.4(d) hereof. The
obligations of the Borrower under this Section 2.20 shall survive the termination of this Credit Agreement. No act or omissions of any current or prior beneficiary of a Letter of Credit shall in any way affect or impair the rights of the
Issuing Lender to enforce any right, power or benefit under this Credit Agreement. 
  
 (e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.20, the Borrower shall have no obligation to indemnify the Issuing Lender in respect of any liability incurred by the Issuing Lender
arising out of, and the Borrower shall retain all rights it may have against the Issuing Lender by reason of, the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Lender (including action not taken by the Issuing Lender), as determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction.

 The Borrower shall be
permitted to replace with a financial institution acceptable to the Administrative Agent any Lender (other than Wachovia) that (a) requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.16, 2.17 or 2.19(a), or (b) is then in
default of its obligation to make Loans hereunder; provided that (i) such replacement does not conflict with any Requirement of Law, (ii) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time 

  

 55 

 
of such replacement, (iii) prior to any such replacement, such Lender shall have taken no action under Section 2.16, 2.17 or 2.19(a), as
applicable, so as to eliminate the continued need for payment of amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.16, 2.17 or 2.19(a), as applicable, so as to eliminate the continued need for payment of amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.16, 2.17 or
2.19(a), (iv) the replacement financial institution shall purchase, at par, all Loans and other amounts owing to such replaced Lender on or prior to the date of replacement, (v) the Borrower shall be liable to such Lender under
Section 2.17 if any LIBOR Rate Loan owing to such replaced Lender shall be purchased other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, (vi) the replacement financial institution, if not already a Lender, shall be
reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (vii) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.6 (provided that the Borrower shall be obligated to pay the
registration and processing fee referred to therein), (viii) until such time as such replacement shall be consummated, the Borrower shall pay all additional amounts (if any) required pursuant to Section 2.16, 2.17 or 2.19(a), as the case
may be, and (ix) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender. In the event the replaced Lender fails to execute the
agreements required under Section 9.6 in connection with any assignment pursuant to this Section 2.21, the Borrower may, upon two (2) Business Days prior notice to such replaced Lender, execute such agreements on behalf of such
replaced Lender. A Lender shall not be required to be replaced if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such replacement cease to apply.

be valid and in full force and effect immediately upon consummation of such transactions except for those where the failure to be valid or in effect could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Each of the Credit Parties,
prior to and after giving effect to such transactions, is and will be in compliance in all respects with its obligations under such Permits except where failure to be in compliance could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect, and no event has occurred that allows, or after notice or lapse of time would allow, revocation or termination of such Permits except where such revocation or termination could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse

 ARTICLE VIII 
  
 THE AGENT 
  
 Section 8.1 Appointment. 
  
 Each Lender hereby designates and appoints Wachovia as the Administrative Agent of such Lender under this Credit Agreement,
and each such Lender irrevocably authorizes Wachovia, as the Administrative Agent for such Lender, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Credit Agreement and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly
delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of this Credit Agreement, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Credit Agreement, the Administrative
Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into
this Credit Agreement or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent. 
  
 Section 8.2 Delegation of Duties. 
  
 The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Credit Agreement by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties.
The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care. Without limiting the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may appoint one of its Affiliates as
its agent to perform its the functions of the Administrative Agent hereunder relating to the advancing of funds to the Borrower and distribution of funds to the Lenders and to perform such other related functions of the Administrative Agent
hereunder as are reasonably incidental to such functions. 
  

 102 

 Section 8.3 Exculpatory Provisions. 
  
 Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors,
employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates shall be (i) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with this Credit Agreement (except for its or such Person’s own gross
negligence or willful misconduct) or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by the Borrower or any officer thereof contained in this Credit Agreement or in any
certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with, this Credit Agreement or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or
sufficiency of any of the Credit Documents or for any failure of the Borrower to perform their obligations hereunder or thereunder. The Administrative Agent shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the
observance or performance by the Borrower of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Credit Agreement, or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Borrower. 
  
 Section 8.4 Reliance by Administrative Agent. 
  
 The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully
protected in relying, upon any Note, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, cablegram, telegram, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it in good faith to
be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected
by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless (a) a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the
Administrative Agent and (b) the Administrative Agent shall have received the written agreement of such assignee to be bound hereby as fully and to the same extent as if such assignee were an original Lender party hereto, in each case in form
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Credit Agreement unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it
deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in
all cases be fully protected by the Lenders in acting, or in refraining from acting, under any of the Credit Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders or all of the Lenders, as may be required under this Credit Agreement, and
such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all Lenders and all future holders of the Notes. 
  
 Section 8.5 Notice of Default. 
  
 The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless the
Administrative Agent has 

  

 103 

 
received notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Credit Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is
a “notice of default”. In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such
Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders; provided, however, that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be
obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders except to the extent that this Credit Agreement expressly requires
that such action be taken, or not taken, only with the consent or upon the authorization of the Required Lenders, or all of the Lenders, as the case may be. 
  
 Section 8.6 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. 
  
 Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees,
agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates has made any representation or warranty to it and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrower, shall be deemed to constitute any
representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Administrative Agent 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 appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and made its own decision to make its Loans
hereunder and enter into this Credit Agreement. Each Lender also represents 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 deem appropriate
at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Credit Agreement, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations,
property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not
have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of the Borrower which may come into the
possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates. 
  
 Section 8.7 Indemnification. 
  
 The Lenders agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent in its capacity hereunder (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the
obligation of the Borrower to do so), ratably according to their respective Commitment Percentages in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at any time (including, without limitation, at any time following the payment of the Notes) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the
Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of any Credit Document or any 

  

 104 

 
documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the
Administrative Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments,
suits, costs, expenses or disbursements to the extent resulting from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. The agreements in this Section shall survive the
termination of this Credit Agreement and payment of the Notes and all other amounts payable hereunder. 
  
 Section 8.8 Administrative Agent in Its Individual Capacity. 
  
 The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of
business with the Borrower as though the Administrative Agent were not the Administrative Agent hereunder. With respect to its Loans made or renewed by it and any Note issued to it, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers
under this Credit Agreement as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity.

  
 Section 8.9 Successor Administrative Agent.

  
 The Administrative Agent may resign as the Administrative
Agent upon 30 days’ prior notice to the Borrower and the Lenders. If the Administrative Agent shall resign as the Administrative Agent under this Credit Agreement and the Notes, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the
Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall be approved by the Borrower with such approval not to be unreasonably withheld (provided, however if an Event of Default shall exist at such time, no approval of the Borrower
shall be required hereunder), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment
and approval, and the former Agent’s rights, powers and duties as the Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Credit
Agreement or any holders of the Notes. After any retiring Agent’s resignation as the Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the
Administrative Agent under this Credit Agreement. 
  
 Section 8.10 Nature of Duties. 
  
 Except as otherwise expressly stated herein, any agent listed on the cover page to this Agreement (other than the Administrative Agent) shall have no obligations, responsibilities or duties under this Credit Agreement or under any other
Credit Document other than obligations, responsibilities and duties applicable to all Lenders in their capacity as the Lenders; provided, however, that any such agent shall be entitled to the same rights, protections, exculpations, notices and
indemnifications granted to the Administrative Agent under this Article VIII in their capacity as an agent hereunder. 
  

 105 

 Section 8.11 Security Documents. 
  
 Each Lender hereby further authorizes Administrative Agent, on behalf of and
for the benefit of Lenders, to enter into each Security Document as secured party and to be the agent for and representative of Lenders thereunder, and each Lender agrees to be bound by the terms of each Security Documents; provided that
Administrative Agent shall not (a) enter into or consent to any amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision contained in any Security Document unless approved in accordance with the terms of Section 9.1 or
(b) release any Collateral (except as otherwise expressly permitted or required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or the applicable Security Document), in each case without the prior written consent of the Required Lenders (or, if
required pursuant to Section 9.1, all Lenders); provided further, however, that, without further written consent or authorization from the Lenders, the Administrative Agent may execute any documents or instruments necessary
to (i) release or subordinate any Lien encumbering any item of Collateral that is the subject of a financing, sale, sale and lease back or other disposition of assets permitted by this Agreement or to which the Required Lenders (or, if required
pursuant to Section 9.1, all Lenders) have otherwise consented in writing or (ii) release any Guarantor from the Guaranty if all of the Capital Stock of such Guarantor is sold to any Person (other than an Affiliate of the Borrower)
pursuant to a sale or other disposition to which the Required Lenders (or, if required pursuant to Section 9.1, all Lenders) have consented in writing. Anything contained in any of the Credit Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, the
Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Lender hereby agree that no Lender shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral under any Security Document or to enforce the Guaranty, it being understood and agreed that all
powers, rights and remedies under the Security Documents and the Guaranty may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of Lenders in accordance with the terms thereof and hereof. 
  
 ARTICLE IX

 The Borrower agrees (a) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent
for all its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the development, preparation, negotiation, printing and execution of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, this Credit Agreement and the other Credit
Documents and any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith, and the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, together with the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the
Administrative Agent, (b) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent and, after the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Lenders for all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or preservation of any rights under this
Credit Agreement, the Notes and any such other documents, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent and to the Lenders (including reasonable allocated costs of in-house legal
counsel), provided, that the Borrower shall be obligated to pay reasonable fees and expenses of only one law firm to act as counsel for the Lenders (other than counsel to the Administrative Agent) in each applicable jurisdiction in connection
with the enforcement of the Facilities, and (c) on demand, to pay, indemnify, and hold each Lender and the Administrative Agent harmless from, any and all recording and filing fees and any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from
any delay in paying, stamp, excise and other similar taxes, if any, which may be payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution and delivery of, or consummation or administration of any of the transactions contemplated by, or
any amendment, supplement or modification of, or any waiver or consent under or in respect of, the Credit Documents and any such other documents, and (d) to pay, indemnify, and hold each Lender and the Administrative Agent and their respective
Affiliates, parents, subsidiaries, officers, directors, employees, agents, trustees, advisors and attorneys-in-fact harmless from and against, any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs,
expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of the Credit Documents and any such other documents and the use, or proposed use, of proceeds of the
Loans (all of the foregoing, collectively, the “indemnified liabilities”); provided, however, that the Borrower shall not have any obligation hereunder to the Administrative Agent or any Lender with respect to
indemnified liabilities arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or any such Lender, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. The agreements in this Section shall survive repayment of the
Loans, Notes and all other amounts payable hereunder. 
  
 Section 9.6 Successors and Assigns; Participations; Purchasing Lenders. 
  
 (a) This Credit Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent, all future holders of the
Notes and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrower and the Guarantors may not assign or transfer any of their rights or obligations under this Credit Agreement or the other Credit Documents without the prior written consent
of each Lender. 
  

 110 

 (b) Any Lender may, in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to one or more banks or other
entities (“Participants”) participating interests in any Loan owing to such Lender, any Note held by such Lender, any Commitment of such Lender, or any other interest of such Lender hereunder. In the event of any such sale by a
Lender of participating interests to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under this Credit Agreement to the other parties to this Credit Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance
thereof, such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Note for all purposes under this Credit Agreement, and the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such
Lender’s rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement. No Lender shall transfer or grant any participation under which the Participant shall have rights to approve any amendment to or waiver of this Credit Agreement or any other Credit
Document except to the extent such amendment or waiver would (i) extend the scheduled maturity of any Loan or Note or any installment thereon in which such Participant is participating, or reduce the stated rate or extend the time of payment of
interest or fees thereon (except in connection with a waiver of interest at the increased post-default rate) or reduce the principal amount thereof, or increase the amount of the Participant’s participation over the amount thereof then in
effect (it being understood that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default shall not constitute a change in the terms of such participation, and that an increase in any Commitment or Loan shall be permitted without consent of any participant if
the Participant’s participation is not increased as a result thereof), (ii) except as otherwise permitted by this Agreement, release all or substantially all of the Guarantors from their obligations under the Guaranty,
(iii) release all or substantially all of the Collateral, or (iv) consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower or the Guarantors of any of their rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement. In the case of any such
participation, the Participant shall not have any rights under this Credit Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents (the Participant’s rights against such Lender in respect of such participation to be those set forth in the agreement
executed by such Lender in favor of the Participant relating thereto) and all amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation, provided that each Participant shall be entitled to
the benefits of Sections 2.16, 2.17, 2.19 and 9.5 with respect to its participation in the Commitments and the Loans outstanding from time to time; provided, that no Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to
such Sections than the transferor Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the participation transferred by such transferor Lender to such Participant had no such transfer occurred. 
  
 (c) Any Lender may, in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell or
assign to (i) any Lender or any Affiliate or Related Fund of any Lender (each an “Existing Purchasing Lender”) and (ii) with the consent of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, the Borrower (in each case, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), to one or more additional banks or financial institutions or entities (each a “New Purchasing Lender”; together with the Existing
Purchasing Lenders, the “Purchasing Lenders”), all or any part of its rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement and the Notes in minimum amounts of $1,000,000 (or such lesser amount as approved by the Administrative Agent)
with respect to its Revolving Commitment, its Revolving Loans or its Term Loan (or, if less, the entire amount of such transferor Lender’s interests and obligations), pursuant to a Commitment Transfer Supplement executed by such Purchasing
Lender, such 

  

 111 

 
transferor Lender, the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower, and delivered to the
Administrative Agent for its acceptance and recording in the Register; provided, however, that (i) any sale or assignment by Wachovia of the Term Loan in connection with the primary syndication thereof shall not require the
consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent and (ii) any sale or assignment to an Existing Purchasing Lender shall not require the consent of the Administrative Agent or the Borrower nor shall any such sale or assignment be subject to
the minimum assignment amounts specified herein. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the Transfer Closing Date specified in such Commitment Transfer Supplement, (x) the Purchasing Lender thereunder shall be a
party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Commitment Transfer Supplement, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder with a Commitment as set forth therein, and (y) the transferor Lender thereunder shall, to the extent
provided in such Commitment Transfer Supplement, be released from its obligations under this Credit Agreement (and, in the case of a Commitment Transfer Supplement covering all or the remaining portion of a transferor Lender’s rights and
obligations under this Credit Agreement, such transferor Lender shall cease to be a party hereto). Such Commitment Transfer Supplement shall be deemed to amend this Credit Agreement to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to reflect the
addition of such Purchasing Lender and the resulting adjustment of Commitment Percentages arising from the purchase by such Purchasing Lender of all or a portion of the rights and obligations of such transferor Lender under this Credit Agreement and
the Notes. On or prior to the Transfer Closing Date specified in such Commitment Transfer Supplement, the Borrower, at its own expense, shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent in exchange for the Notes delivered to the Administrative
Agent pursuant to such Commitment Transfer Supplement new Notes to the order of such Purchasing Lender in an amount equal to the Commitment assumed by it pursuant to such Commitment Transfer Supplement and, unless the transferor Lender has not
retained a Commitment hereunder, new Notes to the order of the transferor Lender in an amount equal to the Commitment retained by it hereunder. Such new Notes shall be dated the Closing Date and shall otherwise be in the form of the Notes replaced
thereby. The Notes surrendered by the transferor Lender shall be returned by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower marked “canceled”. 
  
 (d) The Administrative Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 9.2 a copy of each Commitment Transfer Supplement delivered to it
and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be
conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of the Loan recorded therein for all purposes of this Credit
Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 
  
 (e) Upon its receipt of a duly executed Commitment Transfer Supplement, together with payment to the Administrative Agent by
the transferor Lender or the Purchasing Lender, as agreed between them, of a registration and processing fee of $3,500.00 for each Purchasing Lender (other than an Affiliate or Related Fund of a Lender to the extent of the Commitment of such Lender
that is assigned to such Affiliate or Related Fund and provided that, in the case of 

  

 112 

 
contemporaneous assignments by a Lender to more than one Affiliate or Related Fund of a Person, only a single such $3,500 fee shall be payable for all such
contemporaneous assignments) listed in such Commitment Transfer Supplement and the Notes subject to such Commitment Transfer Supplement, the Administrative Agent shall (i) accept such Commitment Transfer Supplement, (ii) record the
information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice of such acceptance and recordation to the Lenders and the Borrower. 
  
 (f) The Borrower authorizes each Lender to disclose to any Participant, pledgee or Purchasing Lender (each, a “Transferee”) and any
prospective Transferee any and all financial information in such Lender’s possession concerning the Borrower and its Affiliates which has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to this Credit Agreement or which
has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower in connection with such Lender’s credit evaluation of the Borrower and its Affiliates prior to becoming a party to this Credit Agreement, in each case subject to
Section 9.15. 
  
 (g) At the time of each assignment pursuant
to this Section to a Person which is not already a Lender hereunder and which is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for Federal income tax purposes, the respective assignee Lender shall
provide to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent the appropriate Internal Revenue Service Forms (and, if applicable, a 2.19 Certificate) described in Section 2.19. 
  
 (h) Nothing herein shall prohibit any Lender from pledging or assigning any of its rights under this Credit Agreement
(including, without limitation, any right to payment of principal and interest under any Note) to secure obligations of such Lender, including without limitation, (i) any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank and
(ii) in the case of any Lender that is a fund, any pledge or assignment to any holders of obligations owed, or securities issued, by such Lender including to any trustee for, or any other representative of, such holders; it being understood
that the requirements for assignments set forth in this Section 9.6 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest, except with respect to any foreclosure or similar action taken by such pledgee or assignee with respect
to such pledge or assignment; 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.

  
 Section 9.7 Adjustments; Set-off.

  
 (a) Each Lender agrees that if any Lender (a
“benefited Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of its Loans, or interest thereon, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or
proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 7.1(f) or Section 7.1(g), or otherwise) in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender’s Loans, or
interest thereon, such benefited Lender shall purchase for Cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of each such other Lender’s Loan, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, or
the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral or proceeds ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, however, that 

  

 113 

 
if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the
purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. The Borrower agrees that each Lender so purchasing a portion of another Lender’s Loans may exercise all rights of payment (including, without
limitation, rights of set-off) with respect to such portion as fully as if such Lender were the direct holder of such portion. 
  
 (b) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off), each Lender shall have
the right, without prior notice to the applicable Credit Party, any such notice being expressly waived by the applicable Credit Party to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, to setoff and appropriate
and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or
unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of the applicable Credit Party, or any part thereof in such amounts as such Lender may elect, against and on account of the
Credit Party Obligations and claims of every nature and description of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders against the Credit Parties, in any currency, whether arising hereunder, under the Notes or under any documents contemplated by or
referred to herein or therein, whether or not such Lender, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender has made any demand for payment and although such obligations, liabilities and claims may be contingent or unmatured; provided that any
amount received by a Lender pursuant to this Section 9.7(b) shall be transferred to the Administrative Agent and distributed in accordance with the terms of Section 2.13(b). The aforesaid right of set-off may be exercised by such Lender
against the applicable Credit Party or against any trustee in bankruptcy, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, receiver or execution, judgment or attachment creditor of such Credit Party, or against anyone else claiming
through or against such Credit Party or any such trustee in bankruptcy, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, receiver, or execution, judgment or attachment creditor, notwithstanding the fact that such right of set-off shall
not have been exercised by such Lender prior to the occurrence of any Event of Default. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the applicable Credit Party and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender;
provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. 
  
 Section 9.8 Table of Contents and Section Headings. 
  
 The table of contents and the Section and subsection headings herein are intended for convenience only and shall be
ignored in construing this Credit Agreement. 
  
 Section 9.9 Counterparts. 
  
 This
Credit Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Credit Agreement on any number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. A set of the

 Section 9.10 Effectiveness. 
  
 This Credit Agreement shall become effective on the date on which all of the
parties hereto have signed a copy hereof (whether the same or different copies) and shall have delivered the same to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.2 or, in the case of the Lenders, shall have given to the Administrative
Agent written, telecopied or telex notice (actually received) at such office that the same has been signed and mailed to it. Upon this Credit Agreement becoming effective, the Existing Credit Agreement shall be deemed amended and restated by this
Credit Agreement and all obligations of the lenders under the Existing Credit Agreement to make extensions of credit thereunder shall terminate. 
  
 Section 9.11 Severability. 
  
 Any provision of this Credit Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the
extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other
jurisdiction. 
  
 Section 9.12 Integration.

  
 This Credit Agreement and the Notes represent the
agreement of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower or any Lender relative to
the subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the Notes. 
  
 Section 9.13 Governing Law. 
  
 This Credit Agreement and the Notes and the rights and obligations of the parties under this Credit Agreement and the Notes shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the law of the State

 Section 9.14 Consent to Jurisdiction and Service of Process. 
  
 All judicial proceedings brought against the Borrower and/or any other Credit Party with respect to this Credit Agreement, any Note or any of the other
Credit Documents may be brought in any state or federal court of competent jurisdiction in the State of North Carolina, and, by execution and delivery of this Credit Agreement, each of the Borrower and the other Credit Parties accepts, for itself
and in connection with its properties, generally and unconditionally, the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts and irrevocably agrees to be bound by any final judgment rendered thereby in connection with this Credit Agreement from
which no appeal has 

  

 115 

 
been taken or is available. Each of the Borrower and the other Credit Parties irrevocably agrees that all service of process in any such proceedings in any
such court may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to it at its address set forth in Section 9.2 or at such other address of which the
Administrative Agent shall have been notified pursuant thereto, such service being hereby acknowledged by the Borrower and the other Credit Parties to be effective and binding service in every respect. Each of the Borrower, the other Credit Parties,
the Administrative Agent and the Lenders irrevocably waives any objection, including, without limitation, any objection to the laying of venue or based on the grounds of forum non conveniens which it may now or hereafter have to the bringing of any
such action or proceeding in any such jurisdiction. Nothing herein shall affect the right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to bring proceedings against the
Borrower or the other Credit Parties in the court of any other jurisdiction. 
  
 Section 9.15 Confidentiality. 
  
 The Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders agrees that it will use its best efforts not to disclose without the prior consent of the Borrower (other than to its employees, Affiliates, auditors or counsel

any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein and which is designated by the Borrower to the Lenders in writing as confidential or as to which it is otherwise reasonably clear such information is not public (collectively, the
“Confidential Information”), except that any Lender may disclose any such Confidential Information (a) as has become generally available to the public other than by a breach of this Section, (b) as may be required or
appropriate in any report, statement or testimony submitted to any municipal, state or federal regulatory body having or claiming to have jurisdiction over such Lender or to the Federal Reserve Board or the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or

(d) to any prospective Participant or assignee (including any assignee or pledgee of a Lender’s obligations pursuant to Section 9.6(h)) in connection with any contemplated transfer pursuant to Section 9.6, provided that
such prospective transferee shall have been made aware of this Section and shall have agreed to be bound by its provisions as if it were a party to this Credit Agreement, (e) to Gold Sheets and other similar bank trade publications;
such information to consist of deal terms and other information regarding the credit facilities evidenced by this Credit Agreement customarily found in such publications (f) to any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to
any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations, provided that such prospective counterparty shall have been made aware of this Section and shall have agreed to be bound by its provisions as if it were a
party to this Credit Agreement and (g) in connection with any suit, action or proceeding for the purpose of defending itself, reducing its liability, or protecting or exercising any of its claims, rights, remedies or interests under or in

 ARTICLE X 
  

GUARANTY 
  
 Section 10.1 The Guaranty. 
  
 In order to induce the Lenders to enter into this Credit Agreement and to extend credit hereunder and in recognition of the direct benefits to be received
by the Guarantors from the Extensions of Credit hereunder, each of the Guarantors hereby agrees with the Administrative Agent and the Lenders as follows: such Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably jointly and severally guarantees as
primary obligor and not merely as surety the full and prompt payment when due, whether upon maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of any and all Credit Party Obligations. If any or all of the Credit Party Obligations becomes due and payable
hereunder, each Guarantor unconditionally promises to pay such indebtedness to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, on order, or demand, together with any and all reasonable expenses which may be incurred by the Administrative Agent or the
Lenders in collecting any of the Credit Party Obligations. 
  
 Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any other of the Credit Documents, to the extent the obligations of a Guarantor would otherwise be invalid or unenforceable for any reason (including, without limitation,
because of any applicable state or federal law relating to fraudulent conveyances or transfers) then the obligations of each such Guarantor hereunder shall be limited to the maximum amount that is permissible under applicable law (whether federal or
state and including, without limitation, the Bankruptcy Code). 
  
 Section 10.2 Bankruptcy. 
  
 Additionally, each of the Guarantors unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees jointly and severally the payment of any and all indebtedness of the Borrower to the Lenders whether or not due or payable by the Borrower upon the occurrence
of any of the events specified in Section 7.1(f) or Section 7.1(g), and unconditionally promises to pay such Credit Party Obligations to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, or order, on demand, in lawful money of the
United States. Each of the Guarantors further agrees that to the extent that the Borrower or a Guarantor shall make a payment or a transfer of an interest in any property to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, which payment or transfer or any
part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, or otherwise is avoided, and/or required to be repaid to the Borrower or a Guarantor, the estate of the Borrower or a Guarantor, a trustee, receiver or any other
party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then to the extent of such avoidance or repayment, the obligation or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect
as if said payment had not been made. 
  
 Section 10.3
Nature of Liability. 
  
 The liability of each
Guarantor hereunder is exclusive and independent of any security for or other guaranty of the indebtedness of the Borrower whether executed by any such 

  

 118 

 
Guarantor, any other guarantor or by any other party, and no Guarantor’s liability hereunder shall be affected or impaired by (a) any direction as
to application of payment by the Borrower or by any other party, or (b) any other continuing or other guaranty, undertaking or maximum liability of a guarantor or of any other party as to the indebtedness of the Borrower, or (c) any
payment on or in reduction of any such other guaranty or undertaking, or (d) any dissolution, termination or increase, decrease or change in personnel by the Borrower or any other Guarantor, or (e) any payment made to the Administrative
Agent or the Lenders on the indebtedness which the Administrative Agent or such Lenders repay the Borrower pursuant to court order in any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or other debtor relief proceeding, and each of the
Guarantors waives any right to the deferral or modification of its obligations hereunder by reason of any such proceeding. 
  
 Section 10.4 Independent Obligation. 
  
 The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of any other guarantor or the Borrower, and a separate action or actions
may be brought and prosecuted against each Guarantor whether or not action is brought against any other guarantor or the Borrower and whether or not any other Guarantor or the Borrower is joined in any such action or actions. 
  
 Section 10.5 Authorization. 
  
 Each of the Guarantors authorizes the Administrative Agent and each Lender
without notice or demand (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived), and without affecting or impairing its liability hereunder, from time to time to (a) renew, compromise, extend, increase, accelerate or otherwise
change the time for payment of, or otherwise change the terms of the indebtedness or any part thereof in accordance with this Credit Agreement, including any increase or decrease of the rate of interest thereon, (b) take and hold security from
any guarantor or any other party for the payment of this Guaranty or the indebtedness and exchange, enforce waive and release any such security, (c) apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as the Administrative Agent
and the Lenders in their discretion may determine and (d) release or substitute any one or more endorsers, guarantors, the Borrower or other obligors. 
  
 Section 10.6 Reliance. 
  
 It is not necessary for the Administrative Agent or the Lenders to inquire into the capacity or powers of the Borrower or the officers, directors,
members, partners or agents acting or purporting to act on their behalf, and any indebtedness made or created in reliance upon the professed exercise of such powers shall be guaranteed hereunder. 
  
 Section 10.7 Waiver. 
  
 (a) Each of the Guarantors waives any right (except as shall be required by
applicable statute and cannot be waived) to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to (i) proceed against the Borrower, any other guarantor or any other party, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any 

  

 119 

 
security held from the Borrower, any other guarantor or any other party, or (iii) pursue any other remedy in the Administrative Agent’s or any
Lender’s power whatsoever. Each of the Guarantors waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of the Borrower, any other guarantor or any other party other than payment in full of the indebtedness, including without limitation any
defense based on or arising out of the disability of the Borrower, any other guarantor or any other party, or the unenforceability of the indebtedness or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of the
Borrower other than payment in full of the indebtedness. The Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders may, at their election, foreclose on any security held by the Administrative Agent or a Lender by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales,
whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable (to the extent such sale is permitted by applicable law), or exercise any other right or remedy the Administrative Agent and any Lender may have against the Borrower or any
other party, or any security, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any Guarantor hereunder except to the extent the indebtedness has been paid. Each of the Guarantors waives any defense arising out of any such election by the
Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders, even though such election operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of the Guarantors against the Borrower or any other party or any security.

  
 (b) Each of the Guarantors waives all presentments, demands
for performance, protests and notices, including without limitation notices of nonperformance, notice of protest, notices of dishonor, notices of acceptance of this Guaranty, and notices of the existence, creation or incurring of new or additional
indebtedness. Each Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the Borrower’s financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the indebtedness and the
nature, scope and extent of the risks which such Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any duty to advise such Guarantor of information known to it regarding such
circumstances or risks. 
  
 (c) Each of the Guarantors hereby
agrees it will not exercise any rights of subrogation which it may at any time otherwise have as a result of this Guaranty (whether contractual, under Section 509 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, or otherwise) to the claims of the Lenders against
the Borrower or any other guarantor of the indebtedness of the Borrower owing to the Lenders (collectively, the “Other Parties”) and all contractual, statutory or common law rights of reimbursement, contribution or indemnity from
any Other Party which it may at any time otherwise have as a result of this Guaranty, until the Credit Party Obligations have been paid in full and the Commitments have been terminated. Each of the Guarantors hereby further agrees not to exercise
any right to enforce any other remedy which the Administrative Agent and the Lenders now have or may hereafter have against any Other Party, any endorser or any other guarantor of all or any part of the indebtedness of the Borrower and any benefit
of, and any right to participate in, any security or collateral given to or for the benefit of the Lenders to secure payment of the indebtedness of the Borrower. 
  

 120 

 Section 10.8 Limitation on Enforcement. 
  
 The Lenders agree that this Guaranty may be enforced only by the action of
the Administrative Agent acting upon the instructions of the Required Lenders and that no Lender shall have any right individually to seek to enforce or to enforce this Guaranty, it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be
exercised by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders under the terms of this Credit Agreement. The Lenders further agree that this Guaranty may not be enforced against any director, officer, employee or stockholder of the Guarantors.

  
 Section 10.9 Confirmation of Payment.

  
 The Administrative Agent and the Lenders will, upon
request after payment of the indebtedness and obligations which are the subject of this Guaranty and termination of the Commitments relating thereto, confirm to the Borrower, the Guarantors or any other Person that the such indebtedness and
obligations have been paid and the Commitments relating thereto terminated, subject to the provisions of Section 10.2. 
  
 Section 10.10 Release of Guarantor. 
  
 A Guarantor shall be released from all of its obligations under this Guaranty at any time (i) such Guarantor sells all of its assets and ceases to
exist, (ii) the Borrower sells all of the Capital Stock of such Guarantor to a Person that is not a Credit Party, or (iii) such Guarantor ceases to hold assets in excess of $100,000 or to have annualized revenues in excess of $100,000, in
each case in a transaction in permitted by the terms of this Agreement; provided that at any one time the value of assets and annualized revenues of all Domestic Subsidiaries of the Borrower that are not Credit Parties shall not exceed
$1,000,000 in the aggregate.
