Agreement and the terms herein. Each Credit Party acknowledges and agrees that the Escrow Account and any proceeds therein shall not constitute an asset or property of any Credit Party under any applicable law, nor shall it constitute property of
any Credit Party estate under section 541 of the Bankruptcy Code, and, therefore, amounts on deposit in the Escrow Account shall not be available to any Credit Party for any purpose and each Credit Party acknowledges that it cannot grant a lien on,
or security interest in, such amounts as collateral to secure any Credit Party’s obligations to the Lenders or to any other third party. Without limiting any of the foregoing, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, upon the
Maturity Date (unless, and only to such extent, otherwise set forth in Section 2.1(d)) or the occurrence of any Event of Default described in Section 8.1(e) or at any time that the Loans and all other amounts owing hereunder become due and
payable, (i) each Credit Party acknowledges and agrees that any and all amounts or other proceeds in the Escrow Account shall be immediately returned to the Lenders, and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall distribute such amounts or other
proceeds in the Escrow Account to the Lenders entitled thereto promptly, and each of the Lenders shall receive an amount equal to its pro rata share (based on the proportion that the then outstanding Commitments held by such Lender bears to the
aggregate then outstanding Commitments of all Lenders) of all amounts or other proceeds in the Escrow Account available to be distributed. 
 (b) Term Loan Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, and in reliance upon the representations and warranties set forth herein, the Borrower may from time to time request Term Loans
prior to the Maturity Date in amounts which do not exceed (i) in the aggregate, the Term Loan Commitments of the Lenders, (ii) at the time of any Extension of Credit under such Term Loan Commitments, the Term Loan Commitments of the
Lenders then in effect on such date, and (iii) the aggregate amount available in the Escrow Account, for the purposes hereinafter set forth, and each Lender holding a Term Loan Commitment agrees, severally, in accordance with its Term Loan
Commitment Percentage, and not jointly, that amounts released from the Escrow Account to the Borrower pursuant to paragraph (c) below shall be deemed to be term loans (each, a “Term Loan”) extended to the Borrower (through the
Administrative Agent) as of the date of such release. The amount of the aggregate Term Loan 

  
 28 

 
Commitments of the Lenders will be reduced dollar-for-dollar by the amount of each Extension of Credit (including by the amount of the Closing Date Term Loan) made hereunder, and each such
reduction of the Term Loan Commitments shall be made pro rata across all Term Loan Commitments of the Lenders according to the respective Term Loan Commitment Percentages of the Lenders. Any remaining Term Loan Commitment shall be terminated on the
Maturity Date. Amounts repaid or prepaid on the Term Loans may not be reborrowed. 
 (c) Term Loan Borrowings.

 (i) Closing Date Term Loan. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, and in reliance upon the
representations and warranties set forth herein, on the Closing Date, a Term Loan borrowing in the amount of $14,655,384.53 (the “Closing Date Term Loan”) will be made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent, with the
Administrative Agent obtaining available funds from the Escrow Account and then transferring such funds in the amount of the Closing Date Term Loan (in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent from the Escrow Agent) directly into such bank
account of the Borrower which Borrower represents in writing to the Administrative Agent as being subject to an account control agreement in favor of the First Lien Administrative Agent. 

(ii) Notice of Borrowing. Subject to the foregoing provisions, the Borrower may request a Term Loan borrowing by
delivering a written Notice of Borrowing to the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 p.m. New York City time (or such later time as the Administrative Agent may consent to) on a Business Day that is not less than one (1) Business Day prior
to the date of the requested borrowing (and in respect of the Closing Date Term Loan, on or prior to the Closing Date). Each such Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable and shall specify (A) that a Term Loan is requested, (B) the date of
the requested borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), and (C) the aggregate principal amount to be borrowed. On the same day as its receipt of each Notice of Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall use best efforts to promptly notify each
Term Loan Lender and the Escrow Agent of its receipt thereof, the contents thereof and each such Term Loan Lender’s share thereof. 
 (iii) Borrowing Amounts. Each Term Loan shall be in such amount as the Borrower shall specify in the relevant Notice of Borrowing (but no greater than the remaining amount of the aggregate Term
Loan Commitments then in effect). 
 (iv) Advances. Subject to the foregoing provisions (and to the
satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Article IV), the Term Loan borrowing (other than the Closing Date Term Loan, which Loan will be extended in the manner provided in Section 2.1(c)(i)) will then be made available to the Borrower by the
Administrative Agent as follows: not later than 1 Business Day following the Business Day on which the Notice of Borrowing is received by the Administrative Agent (or, if such Notice of Borrowing is received later than 12:00 p.m. New York City time
on such Business Day, then not later than 2 Business 

  
 29 

 
Days thereafter) (or on such later date, but only if so requested by Borrower), the Administrative Agent shall obtain available funds from the Escrow Account and, upon receipt by the
Administrative Agent of such funds from the Escrow Agent, the Administrative Agent shall transfer, on the same day, directly into such bank account of the Borrower which Borrower represents in writing to the Administrative Agent as being subject to
an account control agreement in favor of the First Lien Administrative Agent, the aggregate of the amounts requested by the Borrower (in the applicable Notice of Borrowing), and made available to the Administrative Agent from the Escrow Account, and
in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent. Without limiting the foregoing, subject to the terms and conditions herein with respect to any Extension of Credit (including, without limitation, those set forth in this Section 2.1(c) and
in Article IV) being complied with, satisfied and/or waived, as applicable, with respect to the applicable request for a Term Loan borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall execute and deliver the disbursement notice attached to the Escrow Agreement
as Exhibit 2 to cause the Escrow Agent to release the applicable funds for such requested Term Loan from the Escrow Account in accordance with the terms of the Notice of Borrowing and the other terms hereof. 

(d) Repayment of Term Loan; Conversion on Restructuring Effective Date. The principal amount of the Term Loans shall be due and
payable in full in cash on the Maturity Date, unless accelerated sooner pursuant to Section 8.2; provided that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Maturity Date occurs as a result of the occurrence of the Restructuring
Effective Date, then on the Restructuring Effective Date (i) concurrently with, and subject to, the consummation of the Note Exchange described below, any amounts remaining in the Escrow Account (other than any amounts accrued therein on
account of interest or other investment income) (such amounts, the “Released Amounts”) shall be released to the Borrower by transferring to such account of the Borrower that the Borrower may designate in writing to the
Administrative Agent the Released Amounts, (ii) each of the Borrower and the other Credit Parties agrees that the transfer of the Released Amounts to the Borrower pursuant to the foregoing sub-clause (i) will be deemed to be an Extension
of Credit hereunder to, and Term Loans borrowed hereunder by, the Borrower, in an amount equal to such Released Amount, and (iii) each Lender shall receive Second Lien Secured Notes (whether from the Borrower or any other Credit Party)
registered in each such Lender’s name (or in the name of any nominee or other Person designated by such Lender at least 2 Business Days prior to the Restructuring Effective Date) in a principal amount equal to the principal amount of such
Lender’s outstanding Term Loans hereunder as of such date (after giving effect to the Term Loan borrowings described in the foregoing sub-clause (ii)), in lieu of any repayment in cash of the principal amount of such outstanding Term Loans (the
“Note Exchange”); provided, further, that, on the Maturity Date (whether on the date set forth in clauses (a) or (b) of the definition thereof) any and all accrued and unpaid interest, fees or other amounts
(other than principal) payable hereunder and outstanding as of such date shall be due and payable in full to the Lenders in cash on such date. 
 (e) Interest on the Term Loan. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.5, the Term Loan shall bear interest, accruing on a daily basis, at a rate of fifteen percent (15%) per annum.
Interest on the Term Loans shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date. In 

  
 30 

 
the event of any repayment of any principal amount of the Term Loans on the Maturity Date, any and all accrued and unpaid interest, fees or other amounts payable hereunder and outstanding as of
such date shall be due and payable on the date of such repayment. 
 (f) Term Loan Notes; Covenant to Pay. The
Borrower’s obligation to pay each Term Loan Lender shall be evidenced by this Agreement and, upon such Term Loan Lender’s request, by a duly executed promissory note of the Borrower to such Term Loan Lender in substantially the form of
Exhibit 2.1. The Borrower covenants and agrees to pay the Term Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Term Note or Term Notes. 
 Section 2.2 Fees. 
 (a) Commitment Fee. 

(i) In consideration of the Lender’s commitment to make Term Loans hereunder, the Borrower agrees to pay to the
Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Term Loan Lenders, a commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”), accruing on a daily basis, in an amount equal to fifteen percent (15%) per annum (and seventeen percent
(17%) per annum following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default) on the average daily aggregate amount of the Term Loan Commitments then in effect of all Lenders (calculated without duplication so that on any day on
which any portion thereof is borrowed as Term Loans hereunder such same portion does not on such day accrue both interest and Commitment Fees). The Commitment Fee shall be payable monthly in arrears on each Interest Payment Date. Unless otherwise
required by a final determination, the parties shall treat the Commitment Fee as interest for U.S. federal, state and local tax purposes. For this purpose, a “final determination” shall mean a settlement, compromise, or other agreement
with the relevant Tax authority, whether contained in an IRS Form 870 or other comparable form, or otherwise, or such procedurally later event, such as a closing agreement with the relevant Tax authority, or a deficiency notice with respect to which
the period for filing a petition with the Tax Court has expired or a decision of any court of competent jurisdiction that is not subject to appeal or as to which the time for appeal has expired. 

(ii) The parties agree that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, with respect to any period (but only with
respect to such period) during which a Lender constitutes a Defaulting Lender hereunder (the “Defaulting Period”), the amounts used to calculate the Commitment Fee payable to the Lenders pursuant to this Section 2.2(a) shall be
adjusted such that such Defaulting Lender’s Term Loan Commitment is excluded for purposes of calculating the Commitment Fee in respect of any day during any Default Period with respect to such Defaulting Lender, and the Borrower shall not be
required to pay, and such Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to receive, any Commitment Fee pursuant to this Section 2.2(a) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Term Loan Commitment in respect of any Default Period with respect to
such Defaulting Lender. 

  
 31 

 (b) Administrative Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent the
annual administrative fee as described in that certain letter from the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, dated September 13, 2011. 
 Section 2.3 [RESERVED]. 
 Section 2.4 Prepayments.

 (a) Optional Prepayments. The Borrower shall have the right to prepay the Term Loans in whole or in part from time to
time; provided, however, that each partial prepayment of a Term Loan shall be in a minimum principal amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (or the remaining outstanding principal amount). The
Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice of prepayment not later than 12:00 p.m. New York City time (or such later time as the Administrative Agent may consent to) on a Business Day that is at least one (1) Business Day
prior to such date of prepayment (which shall also be a Business Day). The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of the receipt of such notice of prepayment as soon as practicable. To the extent that the Borrower elects to prepay the Term
Loans, amounts prepaid under this Section shall be applied as directed by the Borrower. All prepayments under this Section shall be subject to Section 2.10, but otherwise without premium or penalty. Interest on the principal amount
prepaid shall be payable on the next occurring Interest Payment Date that would have occurred had such loan not been prepaid or, at the request of the Administrative Agent, interest on the principal amount prepaid shall be payable on any date that a
prepayment is made hereunder through the date of prepayment 
 (b) Mandatory Prepayments. 

(i) Asset Dispositions. Promptly following any Asset Disposition (or related series of Asset Dispositions) in
excess of $5,000,000 in the aggregate during any fiscal year, the Borrower shall prepay the Term Loans in an aggregate amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the Net Cash Proceeds derived from such Asset Disposition (or related series of
Asset Dispositions). 
 (ii) Debt Issuances. Immediately upon receipt by any Credit Party or any of its
Subsidiaries of proceeds from any Debt Issuance, the Borrower shall prepay the Term Loans in an aggregate amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the Net Cash Proceeds of such Debt Issuance; provided, so long as no Default or Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, no such prepayment shall be required if the proceeds of the Debt Issuance are used to consummate a Permitted Acquisition or for capital expenditures. 

(iii) Recovery Event. Immediately upon receipt by any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries of proceeds from any
Recovery Event in excess of $5,000,000, the Borrower shall prepay the Term Loans in an aggregate amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the Net Cash Proceeds of such Recovery Event; 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 

  
 32 

 
certificate stating that the Credit Parties intend to use such Net Cash Proceeds to acquire assets useful to the business of the Credit Parties (which assets do not need to be of the same type as
the assets subject to such Recovery Event to the extent the new assets constitute Collateral) within 365 days of the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds (or within 730 days for any portion of the proceeds that are used to finance the construction
of a Vessel, but only to the extent that construction of such Vessel has begun or a contract therefor has been entered into within 365 days of the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds), it being expressly agreed that Net Cash Proceeds not so reinvested
shall be applied to prepay the Term Loans immediately thereafter. 
 (iv) Excess Cash Liquidity. If at any
time the Cash Liquidity of the Borrower and the other Credit Parties exceeds $17,500,000 for a period of longer than three (3) consecutive Business Days, the Borrower shall immediately prepay the Term Loans in an amount equal to the amount
necessary to eliminate such excess. 
 (c) All Prepayments. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
Section 2.4, no optional or mandatory prepayment of the Term Loans shall be made, or required to be made, under this Section 2.4 until the Discharge of First Lien Credit Obligations. 

All prepayments under this Section shall be subject to Section 2.10 and, at all times, be accompanied by interest on the
principal amount prepaid through the date of prepayment, but otherwise without premium or penalty. 
 Section 2.5
Default Rate and Payment Dates. 
 (a) If all or a portion of the principal amount of any Loan, any interest payable on
the principal amount of any Loan or any fee or other amount payable hereunder shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to 17% (the
“Default Rate”), in each case from the date of such non-payment until such amount is paid in full (after as well as before judgment). Without duplication of, and without limiting, the foregoing, upon the occurrence, and during the
continuance of any Event of Default hereunder, the principal of the Loans shall bear interest, payable on demand, at a per annum rate which is the Default Rate (after as well as before judgment). 

(b) Interest on each Term Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date; provided that interest accruing pursuant
to paragraph (a) of this Section shall be payable from time to time on demand. 
 Section 2.6 Computation of
Interest and Fees; Usury. 
 (a) All fees, interest and all other amounts payable hereunder shall be calculated on the basis
of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed. 
 (b) 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 

  
 33 

 
agreements between the Lenders and the Credit Parties are hereby limited by the provisions of this subsection 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 Credit Party Obligation), shall the interest taken, reserved, contracted for,
charged, or received under this 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. 
 Section 2.7 Pro Rata Treatment and Payments. 
 (a) Allocation of
Payments Prior to Exercise of Remedies. Each borrowing of Term Loans and any reduction of the Term Loan Commitments shall be made pro rata according to the respective Term Loan Commitment Percentages of the Term Loan Lenders. Unless otherwise
required by the terms of this Agreement, each payment under this Agreement or any Note shall be applied as directed by the Borrower, or if no such directions is given, first, to any fees then due and owing by the Borrower pursuant to
Section 2.2, second, to interest then due and owing hereunder and under the Notes of the Borrower and, third, to principal then due and owing hereunder and under the Notes of the Borrower. Each payment on account of any fees
pursuant to Section 2.2 shall be made pro rata in accordance with the respective amounts due and owing. Each payment (other than prepayments) by the Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Term Loans shall be applied to such
Loans on a pro rata basis. Subject to Section 2.4(c), each optional prepayment on account of principal of the Loans shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.4(a) to such Loans on a pro rata basis according to the respective principal
amounts outstanding. Subject to Section 2.4(c), each mandatory prepayment on account of principal of the Loans shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.4(b) to such Loans on a pro rata basis according to the respective principal
amounts outstanding. All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrower on account of principal, interest, fees and any other amounts payable hereunder shall be made without defense, set-off or counterclaim (except as provided in
Section 2.11(b)) and shall be made to the Administrative 

  
 34 

 
Agent for the account of the Lenders at the Administrative Agent’s office specified on Section 10.2 in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 1:00 P.M. New York City
time (or such later time as the Administrative Agent may consent to) 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, and each of the
Lenders (subject to the terms hereof, including, without limitation, Section 2.2(a)(ii)) shall receive an amount equal to its pro rata share (based on the proportion that the then outstanding Commitments and Loans, as applicable, held by such
Lender bears to the aggregate then outstanding Commitments and Loans) of amounts available to be applied. If any payment hereunder 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. 
 (b) Allocation of Payments After Exercise of Remedies. Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, upon receipt of
any payments or other compensation on account of any insurance policies taken out in accordance with the terms of the Vessel Fleet Mortgage or any other Credit Document or on account of any other Collateral which in each case is required pursuant to
any Credit Document to be distributed in accordance with this Section 2.7(b) or after the exercise of remedies (other than the invocation of default interest pursuant to Section 2.5) by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders pursuant to
Section 8.2 (or after the Commitments shall automatically terminate and the Loans (with accrued interest thereon) and all other amounts under the Credit Documents shall automatically become due and payable in accordance with the terms of such
Section), all amounts collected or received by the Administrative Agent and 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 (irrespective of whether the following costs, expenses, fees, interest, premiums, scheduled periodic payments or Credit Party Obligations are allowed, permitted or recognized as a claim in any proceeding resulting from the
occurrence of a Bankruptcy Event): 
 FIRST, to the payment of all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses
(including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ 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 the payment of any fees
owed to the Administrative Agent; 
 THIRD, to the payment of all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses
(including without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ 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; 

  
 35 

 FIFTH, to the payment of the outstanding principal amount of the Credit
Party Obligations; 
 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; and 
 SEVENTH, to the payment of the surplus, if any, to the Borrower or whoever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus. 
 In carrying out the foregoing, (a) amounts received shall be applied in the numerical order provided until exhausted prior to application to the next succeeding category and (b) each of the
Lenders shall receive an amount equal to its pro rata share (based on the proportion that the then outstanding Loans held by such Lender bears to the aggregate then outstanding Loans) of amounts available to be applied pursuant to
clauses “THIRD”, “FOURTH”, “FIFTH” and “SIXTH” above. 
 Section 2.8
Non-Receipt of Funds by the Administrative Agent. 
 (a) Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent.
Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Extension of Credit that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Extension of
Credit, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with this Agreement and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such
event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Extension of Credit available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such
corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by
such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the
interest rate applicable to Term Loans. If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such
interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Extension of Credit to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Extension of Credit.
Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent. 

(b) Payments by Borrower; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from
the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment
on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon 

  
 36 

 
such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the
Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender, with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at
the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. 
 A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrower with respect to any amount owing under subsections (a) and (b) of this Section shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

 (c) Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. Unless otherwise agreed between the Lenders and the Administrative Agent,
if any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent
because the conditions to the applicable Extension of Credit set forth in Article IV are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms thereof, the Administrative Agent shall (i) in the case of a failure of the Closing Date to occur,
return all such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest and (ii) in the case of any failure to effect a Term Loan borrowing (after this Agreement has become effective), retain such funds (in like
funds as received from such Lender) in the Escrow Account unless otherwise released hereunder. 
 (d) Obligations of Lenders
Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Term Loans and to make payments hereunder are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan or to make any such payment on any date required hereunder shall not
relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan or to make its payments. 

(e) Funding Source. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place
or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner. 
 Section 2.9 Requirements of Law; Yield Protection. 
 (a) If the
adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law after the date of this Agreement 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, shall subject such Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to any Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof
(except for changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of such Lender and Taxes subject to the provisions of Section 2.11) or shall impose on such Lender any conditions, and the result of any of the foregoing is to reduce any amount
receivable hereunder or under any Note, then, in any such case, the Credit Parties shall pay such Lender, within 30 days after receipt of written notice, any additional amounts 

  
 37 

 
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 Loan.
A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section (setting forth in reasonable detail such amounts and the basis for the determination of such amounts) 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 to avoid or to minimize any amounts which might otherwise be payable pursuant to this paragraph of 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 after the date of Agreement 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
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 thirty (30) days after demand by such Lender, the Credit Parties shall pay to such Lender such additional amount as shall be certified by such Lender as being required to compensate it for such reduction
suffered from and after the date that is 90 days before the day such Lender first notifies the Borrower thereof and requests compensation (or suffered since the effective date of such change in a Requirement of Law to the extent such change is given
retroactive effect). 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 and the resulting computation thereof, all in
reasonable detail), through the Administrative Agent, to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 (c) The
agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and payment of the Credit Party Obligations. 
 (d)
Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.9 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s rights to demand such compensation. 

Section 2.10 Indemnity. The Credit Parties hereby agree 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, and/or (c) default by the Borrower in making any prepayment after the Borrower has given a notice in accordance with the terms
hereof. A certificate setting forth in reasonable detail as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted by any Lender, through the Administrative Agent, to the Borrower (which certificate must be

  
 38 

 
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 Agreement and payment of the Credit Party Obligations. 
 Section 2.11 Taxes.

 (a) All payments made by the Borrower hereunder or under any Note will be, except as provided in Section 2.11(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 (i) any tax imposed on or measured by the net income or profits (however denominated and including franchise taxes related to income or profits) of
a Lender pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is organized or the jurisdiction in which the principal office or applicable lending office of such Lender is located or any subdivision thereof or therein and (ii) any branch tax
profits imposed by the United States of America or any similar tax imposed by any other jurisdiction) and all interest, penalties or additions to tax with respect thereto (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or
other charges being referred to collectively as “Taxes” and all such excluded taxes referred to collectively as “Excluded Taxes”). If any Taxes are so 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 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 or such other evidence of payment reasonably satisfactory to the Lenders. The Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Lender, and reimburse such Lender upon its written request
(which shall specify in reasonable detail the nature and amount of such Taxes), for the amount of any Taxes so levied or imposed and paid by such Lender. Nothing contained in this Section shall require a Lender to make available its tax returns or
provide any information relating to its taxes which it reasonably deems confidential. Upon becoming aware of any taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges for which the Borrower will be required to indemnify a Lender or the
Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of Section 2.9 or this Section 2.11, the Administrative Agent will use reasonable efforts to notify the Borrower thereof; provided that failure of the Administrative Agent to so
notify the Borrower shall not result in any liability to the Administrative Agent. 
 (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, with respect to any Lender that is no longer considered a United
States person because it has booked its Loans in a foreign jurisdiction, on or prior to the date such Lender is no longer considered a United States person), or in the case of a Lender that is an assignee or transferee of an interest under this
Agreement pursuant to Section 10.6(c) (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 

  
 39 

 
complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, W-8ECI or W-8IMY with appropriate attachments (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 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, Internal
Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, W-8ECI or W-8IMY with appropriate attachments as set forth in clause (i) above, or (x) a certificate in substantially the form of Exhibit 2.11 (any such certificate, a “Tax Exempt
Certificate”) and (y) two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or successor form) certifying such Lender’s entitlement to a complete exemption from United States withholding tax
with respect to payments of interest to be made under this Agreement and under any Note. Each Lender that is a United States person as that term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, other than a Lender that may be treated as an exempt
recipient based on the indicators described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.6049-4(c)(1)(ii), hereby agrees that it shall, no later than the Closing Date or, in the case of a Lender that is an assignee or transferee of an interest under this
Agreement pursuant Section 10.6(c), on the date of such assignment or transfer to such Lender, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two accurate, complete and signed copies of Internal Revenue service Form W-9 or successor form,
certifying that such Lender is not subject to United States backup withholding tax. In addition, each Lender agrees that, to the extent that it may lawfully do so, it will deliver updated versions of the foregoing, as applicable, (i) whenever
the previous certification has become inaccurate in any material respect or (ii) at any time reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, together with such other forms as may be required in order to confirm or establish
the entitlement of such Lender to a continued complete exemption from United States withholding tax with respect to payments under this Agreement and any Note. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 2.11(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 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 2.11(a) hereof to gross-up payments to be made to a Lender in respect of Taxes imposed by the United States or to indemnify such Lender for any withholding
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 2.11(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, the Borrower agrees to pay additional amounts and to indemnify each Lender in the manner set forth in Section 2.11(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 date the Lender becomes a party to this Agreement (or becomes a Participant pursuant to Section 10.6(b)) in any
applicable law, treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order, or in the interpretation thereof, relating to the deducting or withholding of Taxes. 

  
 40 

 (c) Each Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts 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 reasonable
discretion to be material. 
 (d) If the Borrower pays any additional amount pursuant to this Section 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 material 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 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 2.11(d), 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 2.11(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 to the Borrower or any other
party. 
 (e) The agreements in this Section 2.11 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the
Notes and all other amounts payable hereunder. 
 Section 2.12 Replacement of Lenders. If (a) a Lender requests
compensation under Section 2.9, (b) the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to a Lender or a Governmental Authority for the account of a Lender pursuant to Section 2.11, (c) a Lender defaults in its obligation to
fund Loans hereunder or (d) a Lender does not consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, consent or release with respect to any Credit Document that requires the consent of each Lender and that has been approved by the Required Lenders, then the
Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents
required by, Section 10.6), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Credit Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such
assignment), provided that: 
 (i) the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment
fee specified in Section 10.6(e); 
 (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the
outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Credit Documents (including any amounts under Section 2.10) from the assignee (to the extent of such
outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts); 

  
 41 

 (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for
compensation under Section 2.9 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.11, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; 

(iv) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Requirements of Laws; and 

(v) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a Lender’s failure to consent to a proposed amendment, waiver,
consent or release with respect to any Credit Document, such proposed amendment, waiver, modification and/or waiver shall become effective upon giving effect to such assignment (and any related assignments required to be effected in connection
therewith in accordance with Section). 
 A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior
thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

accordance with a request of the Required Lenders or all of the Lenders, as may be required under this Agreement, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders
of the Notes. 
 (b) For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Section 4.1, each Lender that
has signed this Agreement shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender. 

Section 9.5 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 received written notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this 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 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 9.6 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 

  
 83 

 
warranty to it and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of any Credit Party, 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 or any other Credit Party and made its own decision to make its Loans
hereunder and enter into this 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 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 and the other Credit Parties. 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 or any other Credit
Party which may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates. 
 Section 9.7 Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent (including in its capacity as Mortgage Trustee) and its Affiliates and their respective officers,
directors, agents and employees, in each case, to the extent such Person is acting in the capacity of the Administrative Agent (including in its capacity as Mortgage Trustee) (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the
obligation of the Borrower to do so), ratably according to their respective Term Loan 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 Credit Party Obligations) be imposed on, incurred
by or asserted against any such indemnitee in any way relating to or arising out of any Credit Document or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or
omitted by any such indemnitee 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 such indemnitee’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 Agreement and payment of the Notes and all other amounts payable hereunder. 
 Section 9.8
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 and the other Credit Parties 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 

  
 84 

 
rights and powers under this 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 9.9 Successor Administrative Agent. The
Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon thirty days’ prior written notice to the Borrower and the Lenders. If the Administrative Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Credit
Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor administrative agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall be approved by the Borrower (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) so long as
no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, whereupon such successor administrative agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such
successor administrative agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as 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 Agreement or any holders of the Notes. If no successor Administrative Agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent within thirty days after the retiring Administrative
Agent’s giving notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent shall have the right, on behalf of the Lenders, to appoint a successor administrative agent, which successor shall be approved by the Borrower (such approval not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed) so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. If no successor administrative agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent within sixty days after the retiring Administrative
Agent’s giving notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless become effective and the Lenders shall perform all duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the
Required Lenders appoint a successor administrative agent as provided for above. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation as Administrative Agent, the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and
the provisions of this Article IX shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement. 
 Section 9.10 Other Agents. None of the Lenders or other Persons identified on the facing page or signature pages of this Agreement as a “syndication agent,” “documentation
agent,” “co–agent,” “joint book runner” or “joint lead arranger” shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than, in the case of such Lenders, those
applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Lenders or other Persons so identified shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and
will not rely, on any of the Lenders or other Persons so identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder. 
 Section 9.11 Nature of Duties. Except as otherwise expressly stated herein, any agent (other than the Administrative Agent) listed from time to time on the cover page of this Agreement shall
have no obligations, responsibilities or duties under this Agreement or under any other Credit Document other than obligations, responsibilities and duties applicable to all Lenders in their capacity as Lenders; provided, however, that
such agents shall be entitled to the 

  
 85 

 
same rights, protections, exculpations and indemnifications granted to the Administrative Agent under this Article IX in their capacity as an agent. 

Section 9.12 Releases; Amendments to Vessel Fleet Mortgage. The Administrative Agent will release any Guarantor and any Lien
on any Collateral, which is sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of as permitted by the Credit Agreement or as otherwise permitted by the Lenders or Required Lenders in accordance with Section 10.1, as applicable. The Lenders hereby
authorize the Administrative Agent, at the sole cost and expenses of the Borrower, to release any such Guarantor or Lien and to enter into any documentation (including, without limitation, any amendment to the Vessel Fleet Mortgage) as may be
necessary or desirable to effectuate such release. 
 ARTICLE X 

MISCELLANEOUS 
 Section 10.1 Amendments, Waivers and Release of Collateral. Subject to the terms of Section 9.12, neither this Agreement nor any of the other Credit Documents, nor any terms hereof or
thereof may be amended, modified, extended, restated, replaced, or supplemented (by amendment, waiver, consent or otherwise) except in accordance with the provisions of this Section nor may Collateral be released except as specifically provided
herein or in the Security Documents or in accordance with the provisions of this Section. Subject to the terms of Section 9.12, the Required Lenders may or, with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent may, from
time to time, (a) enter into with the Borrower written amendments, supplements or modifications hereto and to the other Credit Documents (including any release of Collateral not already permitted by the terms of the Credit Documents) for the
purpose of adding any provisions to this Agreement or the other Credit Documents or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders or of the Borrower hereunder or thereunder or (b) waive or consent to the departure from, on such terms and
conditions as the Required Lenders may specify in such instrument, any of the requirements of this Agreement or the other Credit Documents or any Default or Event of Default and its consequences; provided, however, that no such
amendment, supplement, modification, release, waiver or consent shall: 
 (i) reduce or forgive the amount or
extend the scheduled date of maturity of any Loan or Note or any installment thereon, or reduce the stated rate of any interest or fee payable hereunder (except in connection with a waiver of interest at the increased post-default rate set forth in
Section 2.5 which shall be determined by a vote of the Required Lenders) or extend the scheduled date of any payment thereof or increase the amount or extend the expiration date of any Lender’s Commitment, in each case without the written
consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; provided that, it is understood and agreed that no waiver, reduction or deferral of a mandatory prepayment required pursuant to Section 2.4(b), nor any amendment of Section 2.4(b) or
the definitions of Asset Disposition, Debt Issuance, or Recovery Event, shall constitute a reduction of the amount of, or an extension of the scheduled date of, the scheduled date of maturity of, or any installment of, any Loan or Note; or

  
 86 

 (ii) amend, modify or waive any provision of this Section or reduce the
percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders, without the written consent of all the Lenders; or 

(iii) release the Borrower or all or substantially all of the Guarantors from obligations under the Guaranty, without the
written consent of all of the Lenders; or 
 (iv) release all or substantially all of the Collateral without the
written consent of all of the Lenders; or 
 (v) subordinate the Loans to any other Indebtedness without the
written consent of all of the Lenders; or 
 (vi) amend, modify or waive Section 2.1(d) without the written
consent of all the Lenders; or 
 (vii) permit the Borrower to assign or transfer any of its rights or
obligations under this Agreement or other Credit Documents (in each case other than pursuant to the terms hereof or thereof) without the written consent of all of the Lenders; or 

(viii) amend, modify or waive any provision of the Credit Documents requiring consent, approval or request of the Required
Lenders or all Lenders without the written consent of the Required Lenders or all the Lenders as appropriate; or 

(ix) amend or modify the definition of Credit Party Obligations to delete or exclude an obligation or liability described
therein without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; or 
 (x) [Reserved]. 

(xi) amend, modify or waive the order in which Credit Party Obligations are paid in Section 2.4 or
Section 2.7(b), the pro rata sharing of payments by and among the Lenders in Section 2.7(a) or Section 10.7(a) or any provision requiring ratable funding by Lenders, in each case without the written consent of each Lender directly
affected thereby; or 
 (xii) [Reserved]. 

(xiii) [Reserved]. 
 (xiv) [Reserved]; or 
 (xv) amend, modify or waive any provision of
Article VIII without the written consent of the Administrative Agent; 

  
 87 

 provided, further, that no amendment, waiver or consent affecting the rights or duties of the
Administrative Agent under any Credit Document shall in any event be effective, unless in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent, in addition to the Lenders required hereinabove to take such action. 

Any such waiver, any such amendment, supplement or modification and any such release shall apply equally to each of the Lenders and shall
be binding upon the Borrower, the other Credit Parties, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and all future holders of the Notes. In the case of any waiver, the Borrower, the other Credit Parties, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall be
restored to their former position and rights hereunder and under the outstanding Loans and Notes and other Credit Documents, and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend
to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default, or impair any right consequent thereon. 
 Notwithstanding any of the
foregoing to the contrary, the consent of the Borrower and the other Credit Parties shall not be required for any amendment, modification or waiver of the provisions of Article IX (other than the provisions of Section 9.9). 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, but subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, to the extent permitted by
Requirements of Law, (i) Borrower and any Credit Party shall, upon the written request of the Administrative Agent, from time to time, execute, acknowledge and deliver, within a reasonable period after such request, such amendments or
supplements (a) to this Agreement and the Credit Documents, and such further instruments, and take such further actions, as may be necessary in the Administrative Agent’s reasonable judgment to cure any omissions, mistakes or defects
herein or therein, and (b) to the Security Documents, and such further instruments, and take such further actions, as may be necessary in the Administrative Agent’s reasonable judgment and as reasonably requested by the Administrative
Agent to effectuate the intention, purposes and provisions of the Security Documents, and (ii) Borrower may submit to the Administrative Agent written requests for the parties to enter into, execute, acknowledge and deliver amendments or
supplements to the Security Documents to (x) cure any omissions, mistakes or defects therein and (y) effectuate the intention, performance and provisions thereof, it being understood that the Administrative Agent shall be permitted to
approve or reject all such requests in its sole discretion; provided, that, none of the actions, amendments or supplements contemplated by the foregoing subclauses (i) and (ii) will require the consent of any Lender in order to be
consummated or to become effective. 
 Notwithstanding the fact that the consent of all the Lenders is required in certain
circumstances as set forth above, (a) each Lender is entitled to vote as such Lender sees fit on any bankruptcy reorganization plan that affects the Loans, and each Lender acknowledges that the provisions of Section 1126(c) of the
Bankruptcy Code supersedes the unanimous consent provisions set forth herein and (b) the Required Lenders may consent to allow a Credit Party to use cash collateral in the context of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding. 

Section 10.2 Notices. 
 (a) Except as otherwise provided in Article II, all notices, requests and demands to or upon the respective parties hereto to be effective shall be in writing (including by

  
 88 

 
telecopy or other electronic communications as provided below), and, unless otherwise expressly provided herein, shall be deemed to have been duly given or made (i) when delivered by hand,

 provided, that notices given by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof shall be effective only upon
receipt thereof by the Administrative Agent. 
 (b) Notices and other communications to the Lenders or the Administrative Agent
hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including e-mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to
any Lender pursuant to Article II if such Lender, as applicable, has notified the Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Section by electronic communication. The Administrative Agent or the Borrower may, in
its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or
communications. 
 Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an
e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement);
provided that if such notice or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next business day for the

 90 

 Section 10.3 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure to exercise and no
delay in exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege
hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and
privileges provided by law. 
 Section 10.4 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and
warranties made hereunder and in any document, certificate or statement delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Notes and the making of the Loans; provided that
all such representations and warranties shall terminate on the date upon which the Commitments have been terminated and all amounts owing hereunder and under any Notes have been paid in full. 

Section 10.5 Payment of Expenses and Taxes. The Credit Parties agree (a) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent
and the Lenders for all reasonable and documented 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 Agreement,
the Escrow Agreement and the other Credit Documents and any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith (including, without limitation, the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby),
together with reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel, provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to the payment of legal fees and expenses of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders pursuant to this
Section 10.5(a), the parties agree that the Credit Parties shall only be required to pay, (i) with respect to the Administrative Agent, the reasonable fees and disbursements of one primary counsel to the Administrative Agent and maritime
and local counsel for each relevant jurisdiction and (ii) with respect to the Lenders, the reasonable fees and disbursements of one counsel for all Lenders (if any), (b) to pay or reimburse each Lender and the Administrative Agent for all
its reasonable and documented costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or preservation of any rights under this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and the other Credit Documents, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees
and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent and to any Lender (including reasonable allocated costs of in-house legal counsel), and all such reasonable and documented costs, expenses, fees and disbursements incurred during any workout,
restructuring or negotiations in respect of the Credit Documents; provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to the payment of legal fees and expenses of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders pursuant to this
Section 10.5(b), the parties agree that the Credit Parties shall only be required to pay, (i) with respect to the Administrative Agent, the reasonable fees and disbursements of one primary counsel to the Administrative Agent and maritime
and local counsel for each relevant jurisdiction and (ii) with respect to the Lenders, the reasonable fees and disbursements of one counsel for all Lenders (if any), and reasonable allocated costs of in-house legal counsel for each such Lender
(if any), (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 

  
 91 

 
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, (d) to pay, indemnify, and hold each Lender and the Administrative Agent, and their Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, partners, members, counsel,
agents, representatives, advisors and affiliates (collectively called the “Indemnitees”) 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, the Escrow Agreement and any such other documents and the use, or proposed use, of
proceeds of the Loans, and (e) to pay any civil penalty or fine assessed by the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control against, and all reasonable costs and expenses (including counsel fees and disbursements)
incurred in connection with defense thereof by the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of the funding of Loans, the acceptance of payments or of Collateral due under the Credit Documents (all of the foregoing, collectively, the
“Indemnified Liabilities”); provided, however, that the Credit Parties shall not have any obligation hereunder to an Indemnitee with respect to Indemnified Liabilities arising from the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of such Indemnitee, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction pursuant to a final non-appealable judgment. The agreements in this Section shall survive repayment of the Loans, Notes and all other amounts hereunder. 

Section 10.6 Successors and Assigns; Participations; Purchasing Lenders. 

(a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Credit Parties, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent, all
future holders of the Notes and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Credit Parties may not assign or transfer any of their respective rights or obligations under this Agreement or the other Credit Documents without the prior
written consent of each Lender. 
 (b) Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its business and 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 Agreement to the other parties to this 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 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 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 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 set forth in Section 2.5 which shall be determined by a vote of the Required Lenders) or reduce the principal amount thereof,
or increase the amount of the Participant’s participation over the amount thereof then in effect; provided that, it is understood and agreed that (A) no 

  
 92 

 
waiver, reduction or deferral of a mandatory prepayment required pursuant to Section 2.4(b), nor any amendment of Section 2.4(b) or the definitions of Asset Disposition, Debt Issuance,
Equity Issuance, or Recovery Event, shall constitute a reduction of the amount of, or an extension of the scheduled date of, the scheduled date of maturity of, or any installment of, any Loan or Note, (B) a waiver of any Default or Event of
Default shall not constitute a change in the terms of such participation, and (C) 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) 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
of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement. In the case of any such participation, the Participant shall not have any rights under this 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 2.9, 2.10, 2.11 and 10.5 with respect to its participation in the Commitments and the Loans outstanding from time to time; provided
further, 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 (each of the following a “Purchasing Lender”): (i) any Lender, (ii) any Affiliate or Approved Fund of a Lender and (iii) with the consent of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Default or
Event of Default exists, the Borrower (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), to one or more additional banks, insurance companies, financial institutions, investment funds or other entities, all or any part of its rights and
obligations under this Agreement and the Notes in minimum amounts of $1,000,000 (or such lesser amount approved by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower) with respect to its Commitment and its Loans (or, if less, the entire amount of such
Lender’s Commitment and Loans), pursuant to an Assignment Agreement, executed by such Purchasing Lender, such transferor Lender and the Administrative Agent, and delivered to the Administrative Agent for its acceptance and recording in the
Register. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the Transfer Effective Date specified in such Assignment Agreement, (1) the Purchasing Lender thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in
such Assignment Agreement, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder with a Commitment as set forth therein, and (2) the transferor Lender thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such Assignment Agreement, be released from its
obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment Agreement covering all or the remaining portion of a transferor Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such transferor Lender shall cease to be a party hereto;
provided, however, that such Lender shall continue to be entitled to any indemnification rights that expressly survive hereunder). Such Assignment Agreement shall be deemed to amend this 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 Agreement and the Notes. On or prior to the Transfer Effective Date specified in such Assignment Agreement, the Borrower, at its own expense, shall execute 

  
 93 

 
and deliver to the Administrative Agent in exchange for the Notes delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant to such Assignment Agreement new Notes to the order of such Purchasing Lender in
an amount equal to the Commitment assumed by it pursuant to such Assignment Agreement 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. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section, a Lender may assign any or all of its
rights under this Agreement to an Affiliate or an Approved Fund of such Lender without delivering an Assignment Agreement to the Administrative Agent; provided, however, that (w) the Credit Parties and the Administrative Agent may
continue to deal solely and directly with such assigning Lender until an Assignment Agreement has been delivered to the Administrative Agent for recordation on the Register, (x) the failure of such assigning Lender to deliver a Assignment
Agreement to the Administrative Agent shall not affect the legality, validity or binding effect of such assignment, (y) an Assignment Agreement between the assigning Lender and Affiliate or Approved Fund of such Lender shall be effective as of
the date specified in such Assignment Agreement and (z) such Affiliate or Approved Fund of such assigning Lender shall be deemed to have expressly acknowledged and agreed with the terms of Section 2.1(d). 

(d) The Administrative Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 10.2 a copy of each Assignment Agreement 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. A Loan (and the related Note)
recorded on the Register may be assigned or sold in whole or in part upon registration of such assignment or sale on the Register. 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 Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any
Lender, or any of their respective representatives or agents, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. In the case of an assignment pursuant to the last sentence of Section 10.6(c) as to which an Assignment
Agreement is not delivered to the Administrative Agent, the assigning Lender shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Credit Parties, maintain a comparable register on behalf of the Credit Parties. In the event that any
Lender sells participations in a Loan recorded on the Register, such Lender shall maintain a register on which it enters the name of all participants in such Loans held by it (the “Participant Register”). A Loan recorded on the
Register (and the registered Note, if any, evidencing the same) may be participated in whole or in part only by registration of such participation on the Participant Register (and each registered Note shall expressly so provide). Any participation
of such Loan recorded on the Register (and the registered Note, if any, evidencing the same) may be effected only by the registration of such participation on the Participant Register. 

(e) The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent as Assignment and Assumption, together with a
processing and recordation fee of $3,500, and the assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire; provided, that the processing and

  
 94 

 
recordation fee set forth above shall not be required for assignments from a Lender to its Affiliates or its Approved Funds. 

(f) The Borrower authorizes each Lender to disclose to any Participant or Purchasing Lender (each, a “Transferee”) and
any prospective Transferee any and all financial information in such Lender’s possession concerning the Credit Parties and their Subsidiaries which has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to this 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 Credit Parties and their Affiliates prior to becoming a party to this Agreement, in each case subject to
Section 10.15. 
 (g) At the time of each assignment pursuant to this Section to a Person which is not already a Lender
hereunder, the respective assignee Lender shall provide to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent the appropriate Internal Revenue Service Forms described in Section 2.11. 

(h) Nothing herein shall prohibit any Lender from pledging or assigning any of its rights under this 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 or trust or entity that invests in commercial bank loans in the ordinary course, 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 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 and no such pledgee or assignee shall have any voting rights under this Agreement unless and until the requirements for assignments set forth in this Section are complied with in connection with any
foreclosure or similar action taken by such pledgee or assignee. 
 Section 10.7 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 a Bankruptcy Event 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 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 

  
 95 

 
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 Borrower or the applicable Credit Party, any such notice being expressly waived by the Credit Parties to
the extent permitted by applicable law, upon the occurrence and continuation 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 by or owing to such Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account
of the Borrower or any other Credit Party, or any part thereof in such amounts as such Lender may elect, against and on account of the Loans and other Credit Party Obligations of the Borrower and the other Credit Parties to the Administrative Agent
and the Lenders and claims of every nature and description of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders against the Borrower and the other Credit Parties, in any currency, whether arising hereunder, under any other Credit Document, as such Lender may
elect, whether or not the Administrative Agent or the Lenders have made any demand for payment and although such obligations, liabilities and claims may be contingent or unmatured. The aforesaid right of set-off may be exercised by such Lender
against the Borrower, any other 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 the Borrower or any other Credit Party, or
against anyone else claiming through or against the Borrower, any other 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 and continuation of any Event of Default. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower 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 10.8 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 Agreement. 
 Section 10.9 Counterparts. This
Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this 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 copies of this
Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. 
 Section 10.10
Effectiveness. This Agreement shall become effective on the date on which all of the parties have signed a copy hereof (whether the same or different copies) and shall have delivered the same to the Administrative Agent pursuant to
Section 10.2 or, in the case of the Lenders, shall have given to the Administrative Agent written, telecopied, email or telex notice (actually received) at such office that the same has been signed and mailed to it. 

  
 96 

 Section 10.11 Severability. Any provision of this 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 10.12
Integration. This Agreement and the other Credit Documents represent the agreement of the Borrower, the other Credit Parties, 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, the other Credit Parties, or any Lender relative to the subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or therein. 

Section 10.13 Governing Law. This Agreement and, unless otherwise specified therein, each other Credit Document and the
rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement and such other Credit Document shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the law of the State of New York (including Sections 5-1401 and 5-1402 of The New York
General Obligations Law). 
 Section 10.14 Consent to Jurisdiction and Service of Process. All judicial proceedings
brought against the Borrower and/or any other Credit Party with respect to this 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 New York, and, by
execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Borrower and each of the other Credit Parties accepts, for itself and in connection with its properties, generally and unconditionally, the exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts and irrevocably
agrees to be bound by any final judgment rendered thereby in connection with this Agreement from which no appeal has been taken or is available. The Borrower and each of the other Credit Parties irrevocably agree 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 10.2 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. The Borrower, the other Credit
Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders irrevocably waive 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 any Lender to bring proceedings against the Borrower or the other
Credit Parties in the court of any other jurisdiction. 
 Section 10.15 Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers,
employees, agents, advisors and other representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential),
(b) to the extent 

  
 97 

 
requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to
the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder, under any other Credit Document or any action
or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Credit Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to a written agreement containing provisions substantially similar to those of this Section or otherwise
reasonably acceptable to Borrower, to any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, (g) (i) an investor or prospective investor in securities
issued by an Approved Fund that also agrees that Information shall be used solely for the purpose of evaluating an investment in such securities issued by the Approved Fund or (ii) a trustee, collateral manager, servicer, backup servicer,
noteholder or secured party in connection with the administration, servicing and reporting on the assets serving as collateral for securities issued by an Approved Fund, (h) with the consent of the Borrower or (i) to the extent such
Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source
other than the Credit Parties. Further, the foregoing notwithstanding, the Credit Parties agree that the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Affiliate of the Administrative Agent or such Lender may use any Credit Party’s name, logo or other
indicia germane to such party in connection with advertising, marketing or other similar purposes. 
 For purposes of this
Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is
available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be
considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. 

Section 10.16 Release and Acknowledgments. In consideration of the Administrative Agent’s and the Lenders’
willingness to enter into this Agreement, each of the Credit Parties hereby releases and forever discharges the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and each of the Administrative Agent’s and the Lenders’ predecessors, successors, assigns,
officers, managers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys, representatives, and affiliates (hereinafter all of the above collectively referred to as the “Lender Group”), from any and all claims, counterclaims, demands, damages,
debts, suits, liabilities, actions and causes of action of any nature whatsoever, in each case to the extent arising in connection with the 2007 Senior Unsecured Convertible Notes and/or the Credit Documents through the date of this Agreement,
whether arising at law or in equity, whether known or unknown, whether liability be direct or indirect, liquidated or unliquidated, whether absolute or contingent, foreseen or unforeseen, and whether or not heretofore asserted, which each of the
Credit Parties may have or claim to have against any of the Lender Group. The Borrower and the other Credit Parties each hereby acknowledges that: 

  
 98 

 (a) it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of each
Credit Document; 
 (b) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender has any fiduciary relationship with or duty to the
Borrower or any other Credit Party arising out of or in connection with this Agreement and the relationship between the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, on one hand, and the Borrower and the other Credit Parties, on the other hand, in
connection herewith is solely that of debtor and creditor; and 
 (c) no joint venture exists among the Lenders or among the
Borrower or the other Credit Parties and the Lenders. 
 Section 10.17 Waivers of Jury Trial; Waiver of Consequential
Damages. THE BORROWER, THE OTHER CREDIT PARTIES, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS
AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN. Each of the Borrower, the other Credit Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agree not to assert any claim against any other party to this Agreement or any their
respective directors, officers, employees, attorneys, Affiliates or agents, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages arising out of or otherwise relating to any of the transactions contemplated herein.

 Section 10.18 Patriot Act Notice. Each Lender and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any
other party) hereby notifies the Borrower that, pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower and the other Credit Parties, which information includes the name
and address of the Borrower and the other Credit Parties and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the Borrower and the other Credit parties in accordance with the Patriot Act.

 Section 10.19 Resolution of Drafting Ambiguities. Each Credit Party acknowledges and agrees that it was
represented by counsel in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents to which it is a party, that it and its counsel reviewed and participated in the preparation and negotiation hereof and thereof and
that any rule of construction to the effect that ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation hereof or thereof. 
 Section 10.20 Intercreditor Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the lien and security interest granted to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Security Documents
and the exercise of any right or remedy by the Administrative Agent hereunder and thereunder are subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement, dated as of September 13, 2011 (as amended from time to time), among Wells Fargo Bank,
N.A., as First Lien Agent, Cantor Fitzgerald Securities, as Second Lien Agent, and certain other persons party thereto (as such agreement may from time to time be amended, restated, supplemented, modified or otherwise changed pursuant to the terms
thereof, the “Intercreditor Agreement”). In the event 

  
 99 

 
of any conflict between the terms of such Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control. 

ARTICLE XI 

GUARANTY 

Section 11.1 The Guaranty. In order to induce the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit hereunder and
thereunder 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: the 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 indebtedness becomes due and payable hereunder, each Guarantor unconditionally promises to pay such indebtedness to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, or their respective 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. The Guaranty set forth in this Article XI is a guaranty of timely payment and not of collection. The word
“indebtedness” is used in this Article XI in its most comprehensive sense and includes any and all advances, debts, obligations and liabilities of the Borrower, including specifically all Credit Party Obligations, arising in
connection with this Agreement or the other Credit Documents, in each case, heretofore, now, or hereafter made, incurred or created, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, determined or
undetermined, whether or not such indebtedness is from time to time reduced, or extinguished and thereafter increased or incurred, whether the Borrower may be liable individually or jointly with others, whether or not recovery upon such indebtedness
may be or hereafter become barred by any statute of limitations, and whether or not such indebtedness may be or hereafter become otherwise unenforceable. 
 Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any other of the Credit Documents, to the extent the obligations of a Guarantor shall be adjudicated to 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 11.2 Bankruptcy. Additionally, each of the Guarantors unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees jointly and
severally the payment of any and all Credit Party Obligations of the Borrower to the Lenders whether or not due or payable by the Borrower upon the occurrence of a Bankruptcy Event, 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,

  
 100

 
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 11.3 Nature of Liability. The liability of each Guarantor hereunder is exclusive and independent of any security for
or other guaranty of the Credit Party Obligations of the Borrower whether executed by any such 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 Credit Party Obligations 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 (e) any payment made to the Administrative Agent or the
Lenders on the Credit Party Obligations 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 11.4 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 11.5 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 Credit Party Obligations or any part thereof in accordance with this 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 Credit Party Obligations 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, (d) release or substitute any one or more endorsers, Guarantors, the Borrower or other obligors and (e) to the extent otherwise
permitted herein, release any Collateral. 
 Section 11.6 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 its behalf, and any Credit Party Obligations made or created in reliance upon the professed
exercise of such powers shall be guaranteed hereunder. 
 Section 11.7 Waiver. 

  
 101

 (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 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 available to such Guarantor with respect to its obligations under
this Guaranty and any defense based on or arising out of any defense of the Borrower, any other guarantor or any other party, in each case other than payment in full of the Credit Party Obligations (other than contingent indemnity obligations),
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 Credit Party Obligations 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 Credit Party Obligations. The Administrative Agent may, at its election, foreclose on any security held by the Administrative Agent by one or more judicial or
nonjudicial sales (to the extent such sale is permitted by applicable law), or exercise any other right or remedy the Administrative Agent or 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 Credit Party Obligations have been paid in full and the Commitments have been terminated. Each of the Guarantors waives any defense arising out of any such
election by the Administrative Agent or any 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 Credit Party Obligations. 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 Credit Party Obligations 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 Credit Party Obligations of the Borrower (collectively,
the “Other Parties”) owing to the Lenders and to 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 such time as the Credit Party Obligations shall 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
or 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 Credit Party Obligations of the Borrower and hereby agrees to waive any benefit of, and not exercise any right to
participate in, any security or collateral given to or for the benefit of the Lenders to secure payment of the 

  
 102

 
Credit Party Obligations of the Borrower until such time as the Credit Party Obligations (other than contingent indemnity obligations) shall have been paid in full and the Commitments have been
terminated. 
 Section 11.8 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 Agreement. The Lenders further agree that this Guaranty may not be enforced against any director, officer, employee or stockholder of the
Guarantors. 

  
 103

 Section 11.9 Confirmation of Payment. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders
will, upon request after payment of the Credit Party 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 such indebtedness and
obligations have been paid and the Commitments relating thereto terminated, subject to the provisions of Section 11.2.

provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement. 

  
 13 

 (d) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, if any provision
contained in this Agreement is in conflict with, or inconsistent with, any provision in the Credit Documents, the provision contained in this Agreement shall govern and control.

constitute one agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement by telecopy or other electronic imaging means (including .pdf) shall be effective as an original.
