 Section 2.02. Making
the Loans. 
 (a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.03, each Borrowing shall be made on notice, given not later than
(x) 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the third Business Day (or in the case of the Term Loans, the second Business Day) prior to the date of the proposed Borrowing in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Eurodollar Rate Loans or
(y) 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the date of the proposed Borrowing in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Base Rate Loans, by the Borrower to the Agent, which shall give to each Lender prompt notice thereof. Each such notice of a
Borrowing (a “Notice of Borrowing”) shall be by telephone, confirmed immediately in writing, or telecopier in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto, or such other form as may be approved by the Agent (including any
form on an electronic platform or electronic transmission system as shall be approved by the Agent), appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer, specifying therein the requested (i) date of such Borrowing, (ii) Type of
Loans comprising such Borrowing, (iii) aggregate amount of such Borrowing, and (iv) in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Eurodollar Rate Loans, initial Interest Period for such Loans. Each Lender shall, before 1:00 P.M.
(New York City time) on the date of such Borrowing, make available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office to the Agent at the Agent’s Account, in same day funds, such Lender’s Ratable Share of such Borrowing. After the
Agent’s receipt of such funds and upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, the Agent will make such funds available to the Borrower at the Agent’s address referred to in Section 8.02. 

(b) Each Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in an amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, and each
Borrowing of Base Rate Loans shall be in an amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof; provided that (i) if the Lenders fund their participation interests in any Letter of Credit pursuant to
Section 2.03(c), the resulting Borrowing may be in the amount of the payment made by the applicable Issuing Bank in respect of such Letter of Credit; and (ii) if at any time the aggregate amount of the A-1 Term Loans and/or the A-2 Term
Loans is not a whole multiple of $1,000,000, then the Borrower may maintain one Borrowing of the 

  
 22 

 
applicable Class of Term Loans that is not such a whole multiple (but is not less than $5,000,000). Borrowings comprised of Eurodollar Rate Loans may not be outstanding as part of more than
(x) ten separate Interest Periods with respect to Loans of a single Class and (y) twenty separate Interest Periods in the aggregate for Loans of all Classes. 

(c) Each Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower. In the case of any Borrowing that the related Notice of
Borrowing specifies is to be comprised of Eurodollar Rate Loans, the Borrower shall indemnify each Lender against any loss, cost or expense incurred by such Lender as a result of any failure to fulfill on or before the date specified in such Notice
of Borrowing the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, including any loss (excluding loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by
such Lender to fund the Loan to be made by such Lender as part of such Borrowing when such Loan, as a result of such failure, is not made on such date. 

(d) Unless the Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to
the Agent such Lender’s Ratable Share of such Borrowing, the Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with subsection (a) of this Section 2.02 and
the Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have so made such Ratable Share available to the Agent, such Lender and the Borrower
severally agree to repay to the Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Agent, at
(i) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable at the time to Loans comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Lender, the Federal Funds Rate. If such Lender shall repay to the Agent such corresponding amount,
such amount so repaid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement. 
 (e) The failure
of any Lender to make the Loan to be made by it as part of any Borrowing shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Loan on the date of such Borrowing, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of
any other Lender to make the Loan to be made by such other Lender on the date of any Borrowing. 
 Section 2.03. Issuance of and
Drawings and Reimbursement Under Letters of Credit. 
 (a) Request for Issuance. 

(i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued upon notice, given not later than 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the
third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed issuance of such Letter of Credit (or on such shorter notice as the applicable Issuing Bank may agree), by the Borrower to any Issuing Bank, and such Issuing Bank shall give the Agent prompt
notice thereof. Each such notice of issuance of a Letter of Credit (a “Notice of Issuance”) shall be by telephone, confirmed immediately in writing, or telecopier, specifying therein the requested (A) date of such issuance
(which shall be a Business Day), (B) Available Amount of such Letter of Credit, (C) expiration date of such Letter of Credit, (D) name and address of the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit and (E) form of such Letter of Credit,
and shall be accompanied by such customary application and agreement for letter of credit as such Issuing Bank may specify to the Borrower for use in connection with such requested Letter of Credit (a “Letter of Credit Agreement”).
If the requested form of such Letter of Credit is acceptable to such Issuing Bank in its sole discretion, such Issuing Bank will, upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, make such Letter of Credit
available to the Borrower at its office referred to in Section 8.02 or as otherwise agreed with the Borrower in connection with such issuance. For the 

  
 23 

 
avoidance of doubt, (x) the applicable conditions set forth in Article III may be deemed fulfilled unless the applicable Issuing Bank has received written notice from any Lender, the
Agent or any Loan Party, at least one Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more of such conditions shall not then be satisfied and (y) if the applicable conditions set
forth in Article III have not been fulfilled, the applicable Issuing Bank (1) shall not issue, or increase the face amount of, the applicable Letter of Credit and (2) shall have the right (or, upon the request of the Required
Lenders, the obligation) not to permit any renewal of the applicable Letter of Credit. In the event and to the extent that the provisions of any Letter of Credit Agreement shall conflict with this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall
govern. Effective on the Restatement Date, all Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued pursuant hereto and shall be subject to and governed by the terms and conditions hereof. 

(ii) An Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, issue one or more Letters of Credit hereunder, with expiry dates later than
10 Business Days prior to the scheduled Termination Date (the “L/C Cash Collateral Date”), based upon the Borrower’s agreement to provide cash collateral to such Issuing Bank (or, if agreed upon, the Agent) relating to such
Letters of Credit on or before the L/C Cash Collateral Date in accordance with the terms of Section 2.19 (and, upon receipt of such cash collateral by the Issuing Bank or the Agent, as applicable, the Lenders’ participation
interests in such Letters of Credit shall terminate on the Termination Date). In the event the Borrower fails to cash collateralize the outstanding Letter of Credit Exposure on the L/C Cash Collateral Date, each outstanding Letter of Credit shall
automatically be deemed to be drawn in full, and the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Base Rate Loan to be funded by the Lenders on the L/C Cash Collateral Date to reimburse such drawing (with the proceeds of such Base Rate Loan being
used to cash collateralize outstanding Letter of Credit Exposure as set forth in Section 2.19) in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.03(c). The funding by a Lender of its Ratable Share of such Base Rate Loan, to cash collateralize
the outstanding Letter of Credit Exposure on the Termination Date shall be deemed payment by such Lender in respect of its participation interest in such Letters of Credit. 

(iii) If the Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Agreement, an Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion,
agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit such Issuing Bank to prevent any such
extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each
such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the applicable Issuing Bank, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to such Issuing Bank for any such
extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the Issuing Bank to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than
the L/C Cash Collateral Date; provided, however, that the applicable Issuing Bank shall not permit any such extension if (A) such Issuing Bank has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time to issue
such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof, or (B) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is seven Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date
(1) from the Administrative Agent that the Required Lenders have elected not to permit such extension or (2) from the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in
Section 3.02 is not then satisfied, and in each such case directing the applicable Issuing Bank not to permit such extension. 

  
 24 

 (iv) No Issuing Bank shall be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit
if: 
 (A) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or
restrain such Issuing Bank from issuing the Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to such Issuing Bank or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such Issuing Bank
shall prohibit, or request that such Issuing Bank refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or the Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank with respect to the Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or
capital requirement (for which such Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense that was not applicable on the Closing Date and
that such Issuing Bank in good faith deems material to it; or 
 (B) the issuance of the Letter of Credit would violate one
or more policies of such Issuing Bank applicable to letters of credit generally. 
 (b) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter
of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank or the Lenders, such Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Lender, and each Lender hereby acquires
from such Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Ratable Share of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. The Borrower hereby agrees to each such participation. In
consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Agent, for the account of such Issuing Bank, such Lender’s Ratable Share of each drawing made under a Letter of Credit
funded by such Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Borrower on the date made, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire
participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence
and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Lender further acknowledges and agrees
that its participation in each Letter of Credit will be automatically adjusted to reflect such Lender’s Ratable Share of the Available Amount of such Letter of Credit at each time such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment is amended
pursuant to an assignment in accordance with Section 8.07 or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement. 
 (c) Drawing and
Reimbursement. The payment by an Issuing Bank of a draft drawn under any Letter of Credit shall constitute for all purposes of this Agreement the making by such Issuing Bank of an Advance, which shall be a Base Rate Loan, in the amount of such
draft. Each Issuing Bank shall give prompt notice of each drawing under any Letter of Credit issued by it to the Borrower and the Agent. Upon written demand by such Issuing Bank to the Agent, which the Agent shall promptly forward to the Lenders,
each Lender shall pay to the Agent such Lender’s Ratable Share of such outstanding Advance, by making available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office to the Agent for the account of such Issuing Bank, by deposit to the Agent’s
Account, in same day funds, an amount equal to the portion of the outstanding principal amount of such Advance to be funded by such Lender. Promptly after receipt thereof, the Agent shall transfer such funds to such Issuing Bank. Each Lender agrees
to fund its Ratable Share of an outstanding Advance on (i) the Business Day on which demand therefor is made by such Issuing Bank, provided that notice of such demand is given not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on such
Business Day, or (ii) the first Business Day next succeeding such demand if notice of such 

  
 25 

 
demand is given after such time. If and to the extent that any Lender shall not have so made the amount of such Advance available to the Agent, such Lender agrees to pay to the Agent forthwith on
demand such amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date of demand by any such Issuing Bank until the date such amount is paid to the Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate for its account or the account of such Issuing Bank, as
applicable. If such Lender shall pay to the Agent such amount for the account of any such Issuing Bank on any Business Day, such amount so paid in respect of principal shall constitute an Advance made by such Lender on such Business Day for purposes
of this Agreement, and the outstanding principal amount of the Advance made by such Issuing Bank shall be reduced by such amount on such Business Day. 

(d) Letter of Credit Reports. Each Issuing Bank shall furnish (i) to the Agent on the first Business Day of each month a written
report summarizing issuance and expiration dates of Letters of Credit issued by it during the preceding month and drawings during such month under all Letters of Credit and (ii) to the Agent on the first Business Day of each calendar quarter a
written report setting forth the average daily aggregate Available Amount during the preceding calendar quarter of all Letters of Credit issued by it. The Agent shall promptly forward to each Lender each report received by it in accordance with this
Section 2.03(d). 
 (e) Failure to Make Advances. The failure of any Lender to make the Advance to be made by it on the date
specified in Section 2.03(c) shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make its Advance on such date, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Advance to be made by such
other Lender on such date. 
 (f) Applicability of ISP; Limitation of Liability. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the L/C Issuer
and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued, including any such agreement applicable to an Existing Letter of Credit, the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the L/C Issuer shall not
be responsible to the Borrower for, and the L/C Issuer’s rights and remedies against the Borrower shall not be impaired by, any action or inaction of the L/C Issuer required or permitted under any law, order or practice that is required or
permitted to be applied to any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, including the Law or any order of a jurisdiction where the L/C Issuer or the beneficiary is located, the practice stated in the ISP or in the decisions, opinions, practice statements
or official commentary of the ICC Banking Commission, the Bankers Association for Finance and Trade-International Financial Services Association (BAFT-IFSA), or the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice, whether or not any
Letter of Credit chooses such law or practice. 
 Section 2.04. Fees. 

(a) Facility Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent for the account of each Lender a facility fee on the aggregate amount of such
Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment, from the Restatement Date in the case of each Initial Lender and from the effective date specified in the Assumption Agreement or in the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which it became a Lender in the
case of each other Lender until the Termination Date, at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Percentage in effect from time to time, payable in arrears quarterly on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December,
commencing September 30, 2016, and on the Termination Date. 
 (b) Letter of Credit Fees. 

(i) The Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of each Lender a commission on such Lender’s Ratable Share of the
average daily aggregate Available Amount of all Letters of Credit outstanding from time to time at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Rate Loans in effect from time to time (plus 2% per annum at any time

  
 26 

 
Default Interest applies pursuant to Section 2.07(b)), payable in arrears quarterly on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing September 30,
2016, and on the Termination Date and after the Termination Date payable upon demand. 
 (ii) The Borrower shall pay to each
Issuing Bank for its own account such fronting, issuance and other reasonable fees as may from time to time be agreed in writing between the Borrower and such Issuing Bank. 

(c) Agent’s Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Agent for its own account such fees as may from time to time be agreed between the
Borrower and the Agent. 
 Section 2.05. Optional Termination or Reduction of the Commitments. The Borrower shall have the
right, upon at least three Business Days’ notice (or, if the facilities are to be refinanced in full, upon notice given on the date of such termination) to the Agent, to terminate in whole or permanently reduce in part the Unused Revolving
Credit Commitments of the Lenders, provided that each partial reduction shall be in the aggregate amount of $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and shall be made ratably among the Revolving Lenders in accordance with
their Revolving Credit Commitments. In addition, the obligation of the relevant Lenders to make the A-1 Term Loans shall terminate on the earlier of (a) the date of the borrowing of the A-1 Term Loans and (b) at the close of business on
the 21st day after the Restatement Date. 
 Section 2.06. Repayments. 

(a) Advances. The Borrower shall repay to the Agent for the account of each Lender on the applicable Termination Date the aggregate
principal amount of the applicable Advances made by such Lender and then outstanding. 
 (b) Letter of Credit Reimbursements. The
obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement, any Letter of Credit Agreement and any other agreement or instrument, in each case, relating to any Letter of Credit shall be unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement, such Letter of Credit Agreement and such other agreement or instrument under all circumstances, including the following circumstances (it being understood that any such payment by the Borrower is without prejudice
to, and does not constitute a waiver of, any rights the Borrower might have or might acquire as a result of the payment by any Issuing Bank of any draft or the reimbursement by the Borrower thereof): 

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any Letter of Credit Agreement or any other
agreement or instrument, in each case, relating thereto (all of the foregoing being, collectively, the “L/C Related Documents”); 

(ii) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the obligations of the
Borrower in respect of any L/C Related Document or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the L/C Related Documents; 

(iii) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that the Borrower may
have at any time against any beneficiary or transferee of a Letter of Credit (or any Person for which any such beneficiary or transferee may be acting), any Issuing Bank or any other Person, whether in connection with the transactions contemplated
by the L/C Related Documents or any unrelated transaction; 

  
 27 

 (iv) any statement or any other document presented under a Letter of Credit
proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; 

(v) payment by any Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly
comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; 
 (vi) any exchange, release or
non-perfection of any collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any guarantee, for all or any of the obligations of the Borrower in respect of the L/C Related Documents;
or 
 (vii) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any
other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower or a Subsidiary Guarantor. 
 (c)
The Borrower shall repay the outstanding principal amount of the A-1 Term Loans in equal quarterly installments of $4,812,500 on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing December 31, 2016 (as such
installments may hereafter be adjusted as a result of prepayments made pursuant to Section 2.10), unless accelerated sooner pursuant to Section 6.01. The remaining outstanding principal balance of the A-1 Term Loans shall be
due and payable on the Termination Date. Each such payment shall be applied to the A-1 Term Loans of the A-1 Term Lenders based on their Ratable Shares. 

(d) The Borrower shall repay the outstanding principal amount of the A-2 Term Loans in equal quarterly installments of $1,625,000 on the last
Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing March 31, 2014 (as such installments may hereafter be adjusted as a result of prepayments made pursuant to Section 2.10), unless accelerated sooner pursuant
to Section 6.01. The remaining outstanding principal balance of the A-2 Term Loans shall be due and payable on the Termination Date. Each such payment shall be applied to the A-2 Term Loans of the A-2 Term Lenders based on their Ratable
Shares. 
 Section 2.07. Interest on Loans. 

(a) Scheduled Interest. The Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Loan owing to each Lender from the date
of such Loan until such principal amount shall be paid in full, at the following rates per annum: 
 (i) Base Rate
Loans. During such periods as such Loan is a Base Rate Loan, a rate per annum equal at all times to the sum of (x) the Base Rate in effect from time to time plus (y) the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time, payable in arrears
quarterly on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December during such periods and on the date such Base Rate Loan shall be Converted or paid in full. 

(ii) Eurodollar Rate Loan. During such periods as such Loan is a Eurodollar Rate Loan, a rate per annum equal at all
times during each Interest Period for such Loan to the sum of (x) the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period for such Loan plus (y) the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time, payable in arrears on the last Business Day of such
Interest Period and, if such Interest Period has a duration of more than three months, on each day that occurs during such Interest Period every three months from the first day of such Interest Period and on the date such Eurodollar Rate Loan shall
be Converted or paid in full. 

  
 28 

 (b) Default Interest. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, the Borrower shall, upon the request of the Required Lenders (or automatically during the continuance of an Event of Default under (x) Section 6.01(a) with respect to the payment of any principal of any Loan or
(y) Section 6.01(e)), pay interest (“Default Interest”) on (i) the principal amount of each Loan owing to each Lender, payable in arrears on the dates referred to in clause (a)(i) or (a)(ii) above, at a
rate per annum equal at all times to 2% per annum above the rate per annum required to be paid on such Loan pursuant to clause (a)(i) or (a)(ii) above and (ii) to the fullest extent permitted by law, the amount of any
interest, fee or other amount payable hereunder that is not paid when due, from the date such amount shall be due until such amount shall be paid in full, payable in arrears on the date such amount shall be paid in full and on demand, at a rate per
annum equal at all times to 2% per annum above the rate per annum required to be paid on Base Rate Loans pursuant to clause (a)(i) above, provided, however, that following acceleration of the Loans pursuant to
Section 6.01, Default Interest shall accrue and be payable hereunder whether or not previously required by the Required Lenders and such interest shall be payable on demand. 

Section 2.08. Interest Rate Determination. 

(a) Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.02(a), a notice of Conversion pursuant to Section 2.09 or
a notice of selection of an Interest Period pursuant to the terms of the definition of “Interest Period”, the Agent shall give prompt notice to the Borrower and each Lender of the applicable interest rate determined by the Agent for
purposes of Section 2.07(a)(i) or (ii). 
 (b) If, prior to the end of any Interest Period for any Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate
Loans, the Borrower shall fail to give notice of the election of a new Interest Period for such Borrowing in accordance with the provisions contained in the definition of “Interest Period” in Section 1.01, the Agent will forthwith so
notify the Borrower and the Lenders and such Eurodollar Rate Loans will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into Base Rate Loans. 

(c) On the date on which the aggregate unpaid principal amount of Eurodollar Rate Loans comprising any Borrowing shall be reduced, by payment
or prepayment or otherwise, to less than $3,000,000, such Loans shall automatically Convert into Base Rate Loans. 
 (d) Upon the occurrence
and during the continuance of any Event of Default, (i) each Eurodollar Rate Loan will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Loan and (ii) the obligation of the Lenders to
make, or to Convert Loans into, Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended. 
 (i) If the Agent is unable to determine the
Eurodollar Rate for any Eurodollar Rate Loans in accordance with the procedures set forth in the definition of Eurodollar Rate, including if the Agent has made a determination that (x) deposits in dollars are not being offered to banks in the
London interbank market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Eurodollar Rate Loan or (y) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a
proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan) or in connection with an existing or proposed Base Rate Loan (in each case, “Impacted Loans”), then, 

(ii) the Agent shall forthwith notify the Borrower and the Lenders that the Eurodollar Rate cannot be determined, and 

(iii) so long as such circumstance continues, (x) the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate definition shall be
disregarded, (y) each Eurodollar Rate Loan will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Loan and (z) the obligation of the Lenders to make Eurodollar Rate Loans or to Convert
Loans into Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended. 

  
 29 

 (iv) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Agent has made the determination
described in clause (x) or (y) of the first sentence of this Section, the Agent, in consultation with the Borrower and the affected Lenders, may establish an alternative interest rate for the Impacted Loans, in which case, such alternative
rate of interest shall apply with respect to the Impacted Loans until (1) the Agent revokes the notice delivered with respect to the Impacted Loans under clause (a) of the first sentence of this section, (2) the Agent notifies the
Borrower that such alternative interest rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding the Impacted Loans, or (3) any Lender determines that any law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has
asserted that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its Applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to such alternative rate of interest or to determine or charge interest rates based upon such
rate or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to do any of the foregoing and provides the Agent and the Borrower written notice thereof. 

Section 2.09. Optional Conversion of Loans. The Borrower may on any Business Day, upon notice given to the Agent not later than
11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Conversion and subject to the provisions of Sections 2.08 and 2.12, Convert all or any portion of any Class of Loans of one Type comprising
the same Borrowing into Loans of the other Type; provided, however, that any Conversion of Eurodollar Rate Loans into Base Rate Loans shall be made only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurodollar Rate Loans, any
Conversion of Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in an amount not less than the minimum amount specified in Section 2.02(b), no Conversion of any Loans shall result in more separate Borrowings of Eurodollar Rate Loans than
permitted under Section 2.02(b) and each Conversion of Loans comprising part of the same Borrowing shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their applicable Ratable Shares. Each such notice of a Conversion shall, within
the restrictions specified above, specify (i) the date of such Conversion, (ii) the Loans to be Converted, and (iii) if such Conversion is into Eurodollar Rate Loans, the duration of the initial Interest Period therefor. Each notice
of Conversion shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower. 
 Section 2.10. Prepayments of Loans. The Borrower may on any
Business Day, upon notice to the Agent (such notice to be in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, submitted by a Responsible Officer) not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) stating the date and aggregate principal
amount of a proposed prepayment, and if such notice is given the Borrower shall, prepay the outstanding principal amount of any Class of Loans comprising part of the same Borrowing in whole or ratably in part, together with accrued interest to the
date of such prepayment on the principal amount prepaid; provided, however, that each partial prepayment shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, except that
(i) any prepayment of Base Rate Loans may be in any amount that causes the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Base Rate Loans to be an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and (ii) any prepayment of a Class of Term Loans may be in
any amount (but not less than $5,000,000) that causes the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Term Loans of such Class to be an integral multiple of $1,000,000. In the event of any prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans, the Borrower shall be
obligated to reimburse the Lenders in respect thereof pursuant to Section 8.04(c). Subject to the foregoing terms, amounts prepaid under this Section 2.10 shall be applied as the Borrower may elect; provided that if the
Borrower shall fail to specify its elected application with respect to any voluntary prepayment, such voluntary prepayment shall be applied first to the Loans under the Revolving Credit Facility and then pro rata to each Class of Term Loans (in
direct order of remaining amortization installments), and first to Base Rate Loans and then to Eurodollar Rate Loans in direct order of Interest Period maturities. Each such prepayment shall be applied to the Loans of

  
 30 

 
the applicable Lenders in accordance with their respective applicable Ratable Shares. In the event that the Revolving Credit Exposure exceeds the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments at any
time (for example, because the issuance of a Letter of Credit by an Issuing Bank on the same date that a new Advance is funded inadvertently causes the Revolving Credit Exposure to exceed the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments as of such date),
the Borrower shall prepay Advances and/or cash collateralize the Letter of Credit Exposure in an aggregate amount necessary to eliminate such excess; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be required to cash collateralize the
Letter of Credit Exposure pursuant to this Section 2.10 unless after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of Advances, the Revolving Credit Exposure exceeds the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect. 

Section 2.11. Increased Costs. 

(a) If, due to either (i) any Change in Law or (ii) the compliance with any guideline or request issued after the date hereof from
any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), there shall be any increase in the cost to any Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining Eurodollar Rate Loans or agreeing to issue or of
issuing or maintaining or participating in Letters of Credit (excluding for purposes of this Section 2.11 any such increased costs resulting from (i) Taxes or Other Taxes (as to which Section 2.14 shall govern) and
(ii) changes after the date hereof in the basis of taxation of overall net income or overall gross income by the United States or by the foreign jurisdiction or state under the laws of which such Lender is organized or has its Applicable
Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof), then the Borrower shall from time to time, upon demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Agent), pay to the Agent for the account of such Lender additional amounts sufficient to
compensate such Lender for such increased cost; provided, however, that before making any such demand, each Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to
designate a different Applicable Lending Office if the making of such a designation would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such increased cost and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such
Lender. A certificate as to the amount of such increased cost, submitted to the Borrower and the Agent by such Lender, shall be prima facie evidence of the correctness thereof for all purposes, absent manifest error. 

(b) If any Lender reasonably determines that any Change in Law or compliance with any law or regulation or any guideline or request from any
central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law) adopted or issued after the date hereof affects or would affect the amount of capital or liquidity required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or any
corporation controlling such Lender and that the amount of such capital or liquidity is increased by or based upon the existence of such Lender’s commitment to lend hereunder and other commitments of this type, then, upon demand by such Lender
(with a copy of such demand to the Agent), the Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of such Lender, from time to time as specified by such Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or such corporation in the light of
such circumstances, to the extent that such Lender reasonably determines such increase in capital or liquidity to be allocable to the existence of such Lender’s commitment to lend hereunder. A certificate as to such amounts submitted to the
Borrower and the Agent by such Lender shall be prima facie evidence of the correctness thereof for all purposes, absent manifest error. 

(c) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such
Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than six months prior to the date that
such Lender notifies the Borrower of the change or circumstance giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s 

  
 31 

 
intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further, that, if the change or circumstance giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the six-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. 

Section 2.12. Illegality. 

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender shall notify the Agent that the introduction of or any change in or in
the interpretation of any law or regulation makes it unlawful, or any central bank or other Governmental Authority asserts that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its Eurodollar Lending Office to perform its obligations hereunder to make Eurodollar
Rate Loans or to fund or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans hereunder, (a) each Eurodollar Rate Loan made by such Lender will automatically, on the last day of the current Interest Period or, if required by law, upon such demand, Convert into a
Base Rate Loan and (b) the obligation of such Lender to make Eurodollar Rate Loans or to Convert Loans into Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Agent shall notify the Borrower and such Lender that the circumstances causing such
suspension no longer exist; provided, however, that before making any such demand, such Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different
Eurodollar Lending Office if the making of such a designation would allow such Lender or its Eurodollar Lending Office to continue to perform its obligations to make Eurodollar Rate Loans or to continue to fund or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans and
would not, in the judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. Each request for a Eurodollar Rate Borrowing or a Conversion into Eurodollar Rate Loans shall, as to such affected Lender only, be deemed to be a request for a
Base Rate Loan, and all payments and prepayments of principal which would otherwise have been applied to repay the Eurodollar Rate Loans of such Lender shall instead be applied to repay or prepay the Base Rate Loans made by such Lender in lieu
thereof, or resulting from the Conversion of, such Eurodollar Rate Loans. 
 Section 2.13. Payments and Computations. 

(a) The Borrower shall make each payment hereunder, irrespective of any right of counterclaim or
set-off, not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the day when due in dollars to the Agent at the Agent’s Account in same day funds. The Agent will promptly thereafter cause to be
distributed like funds relating to the payment of principal or interest or fees or commissions ratably (other than amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.03, 2.11, 2.12, 2.14, 2.20 or 8.04(c)) to the Lenders for the account of their respective
Applicable Lending Offices, and like funds relating to the payment of any other amount payable to any Lender to such Lender for the account of its Applicable Lending Office, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
Upon any Assuming Lender becoming a Lender hereunder pursuant to Section 2.18, and upon the Agent’s receipt of such Lender’s Assumption Agreement and recording of the information contained therein in the Register, from and after the
applicable Increase Date, the Agent shall make all payments hereunder and under any Notes issued in connection therewith in respect of the interest assumed thereby to the Assuming Lender. Upon its acceptance of an Assignment and Acceptance and
recording of the information contained therein in the Register pursuant to Section 8.07(c), from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance, the Agent shall make all payments hereunder and under the Notes in
respect of the interest assigned thereby to the Lender assignee thereunder, and the parties to such Assignment and Acceptance shall make all appropriate adjustments in such payments for periods prior to such effective date directly between
themselves. 
 (b) All computations of interest based on the prime rate component of the Base Rate shall be made by the Agent on the basis
of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and all computations of interest based on the Eurodollar Rate or the Federal Funds Rate and of fees and Letter of Credit commissions shall be made by the Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days, in
each case for the actual 

  
 32 

 
number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest, fees or commissions are payable. Each determination by the Agent of an
interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. 
 (c) Whenever any payment hereunder or
under the Notes shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest,
facility fee or commission, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if such extension would cause payment of interest on Eurodollar Rate Loans to be made in the next following calendar month, such payment shall be made on the next
preceding Business Day. 
 (d) Unless the Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due
to the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Agent on such date and the Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be
distributed to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent the Borrower shall not have so made such payment in full to the Agent, each Lender shall repay to the Agent forthwith on demand such
amount distributed to such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to the Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate. 

Section 2.14. Taxes. 

(a) Payments Free of Taxes; Obligation to Withhold; Payments on Account of Taxes. 

(i) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without
deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable Laws. If any applicable Laws (as determined in the good faith discretion of the Agent) require the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by the Agent or a
Loan Party, then the Agent or such Loan Party shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding, upon the basis of the information and documentation to be delivered pursuant to subsection (e) below. 

(ii) If any Loan Party or the Agent shall be required by the Internal Revenue Code to withhold or deduct any Taxes, including
both United States Federal backup withholding and withholding taxes, from any payment, then (A) the Agent shall withhold or make such deductions as are determined by the Agent to be required based upon the information and documentation it has
received pursuant to subsection (e) below, (B) the Agent shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with the Internal Revenue Code, and (C) to the extent that the
withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after any required withholding or the making of all required deductions (including deductions
applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.14) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made. 

(iii) If any Loan Party or the Agent shall be required by any applicable Laws other than the Internal Revenue Code to withhold
or deduct any Taxes from any payment, then (A) such Loan Party or the Agent, as required by such Laws, shall withhold or make such deductions as are determined by it to be required based upon the information and documentation it has received
pursuant to subsection (e) below, (B) such Loan Party or the Agent, to the extent 

  
 33 

 
required by such Laws, shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with such Laws, and (C) to the extent that the withholding
or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after any required withholding or the making of all required deductions (including deductions applicable to
additional sums payable under this Section 2.14) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made. 

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Loan Parties. Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) above, the Loan Parties shall
timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes. 

(c) Tax Indemnifications. 

(i) Each of the Loan Parties shall, and does hereby, jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, and shall make payment in
respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.14) payable or paid by such Recipient
or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or
asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or an Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Agent), or by the Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a
Lender or an Issuing Bank, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each of the Loan Parties shall, and does hereby, jointly and severally indemnify the Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, for any
amount which a Lender or an Issuing Bank for any reason fails to pay indefeasibly to the Agent as required pursuant to Section 2.14(c)(ii) below. 

(ii) Each Lender and each Issuing Bank shall, and does hereby, severally indemnify, and shall make payment in respect thereof
within 10 days after demand therefor, (x) the Agent against any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender or such Issuing Bank (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and
without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (y) the Agent and the Loan Parties, as applicable, against any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 8.07(d) relating to the
maintenance of a Participant Register and (z) the Agent and the Loan Parties, as applicable, against any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Agent or a Loan Party in
connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount
of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank hereby authorizes the Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender or
such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due to the Agent under this clause (ii). 

(d) Evidence of Payments. Upon request by any Loan Party or the Agent, as the case may be, after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party
or by the Agent to a Governmental Authority as provided in this Section 2.14, each Loan Party shall deliver to the Agent or the Agent shall deliver to the Borrower, as the case may be, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by
such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of any return required by law to report such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower or the Agent, as the case may be. 

  
 34 

 (e) Status of Lenders; Tax Documentation. 

(i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any
Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as will permit
such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably
requested by the Borrower or the Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding
two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.14(e)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such
completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. 

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is a U.S. Person, 

(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender
becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

 (B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Agent (in
such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Agent),
whichever of the following is applicable: 
 (I) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax
treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the
“interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the
“business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty; 
 (II) executed originals of Internal
Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, 
 (III) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio
interest under Section 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A)

  
 35 

 
of the Internal Revenue Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code, or a “controlled foreign
corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN; or 

(IV) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS
Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-2 or Exhibit F-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign
Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-4 on
behalf of each such direct and indirect partner; 
 (C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do
so, deliver to the Borrower and the Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the
reasonable request of the Borrower or the Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such
supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and 

(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if
such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the
Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal
Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with
such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

 (iii) Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered pursuant to this
Section 2.14 expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. 

(f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. Unless required by applicable laws, at no time shall the Agent have any obligation to file for or
otherwise pursue on behalf of a Lender or an Issuing Bank, or have any obligation to pay to any Lender or any Issuing Bank, any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may
be. If any Recipient determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any 

  
 36 

 
Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by any Loan Party or with respect to which any Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.14, it shall pay to the Loan Party
an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by a Loan Party under this Section 2.14 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket
expenses (including Taxes) incurred by such Recipient, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that the Loan Party, upon the request of the Recipient, agrees to
repay the amount paid over to the Loan Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Recipient in the event the Recipient is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection, in no event will the applicable Recipient be required to pay any amount to the Loan Party pursuant to this subsection the payment of which would place the Recipient in a less favorable net
after-Tax position than such Recipient would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect
to such Tax had never been paid. This subsection shall not be construed to require any Recipient to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to any Loan Party or any other Person.

 (g) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.14 shall survive the resignation or replacement of
the Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender or an Issuing Bank, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other obligations. 

(h) For purposes of determining withholding Taxes imposed by FATCA, from and after the Restatement Date, the Borrower and the Agent shall
treat (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Agent to treat) this Agreement as not qualifying as a “grandfathered obligation” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i). 

Section 2.15. Sharing of Payments, Etc. 

(a) If any Lender shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) on account of the Loans owing to it (other than pursuant to Section 2.11, 2.12, 2.14, 2.20 or 8.04(c)) in excess of its ratable share of payments on
account of the Loans obtained by all the Lenders, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Loans owing to them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably
with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase from each Lender shall be rescinded and such Lender shall repay to the
purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total
amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another
Lender pursuant to this Section 2.15 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as
if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. 
 (b) If any Lender shall fail to make any
payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.03(b) or (c), 2.02(d), 2.15(a) or 7.05(a), then the Agent may, in its discretion and notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, (i) apply any
amounts thereafter received by the Agent for the account of such Lender for the benefit of the Agent or any Issuing Bank to satisfy such Lender’s obligations to it under such Section until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid, and/or
(ii) hold any such amounts in a segregated account as cash collateral for, and application to, any future funding obligations of such Lender under any such Section, in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii) above, in any order as
determined by the Agent in its discretion. 

  
 37 

 Section 2.16. Evidence of Debt. 

(a) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to
such Lender resulting from each Loan owing to such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder in respect of Loans. The Borrower agrees that upon notice by any
Lender to the Borrower (with a copy of such notice to the Agent) to the effect that a Note is required or appropriate in order for such Lender to evidence (whether for purposes of pledge, enforcement or otherwise) the Loans owing to, or to be made
by, such Lender, the Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to such Lender a Note payable to the order of such Lender. 
 (b) The
Register maintained by the Agent pursuant to Section 8.07(d) shall include a control account, and a subsidiary account for each Lender, in which accounts (taken together) shall be recorded (i) the date and amount of each
Borrowing made hereunder, the Type of Loans comprising such Borrowing and, if appropriate, the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the terms of each Assumption Agreement and each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it,
(iii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iv) the amount of any sum received by the Agent from the Borrower hereunder and each Lender’s
share thereof. 
 (c) Entries made in good faith by the Agent in the Register pursuant to subsection (b) above, and by each Lender in
its account or accounts pursuant to subsection (a) above, shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of principal and interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to, in the case of the Register, each Lender and, in
the case of such account or accounts, such Lender, under this Agreement, absent manifest error; provided, however, that the failure of the Agent or such Lender to make an entry, or any finding that an entry is incorrect, in the
Register or such account or accounts shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement. 

Section 2.17. Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of (a) the Revolving Facility shall be available (and the Borrower agrees that it
shall use such proceeds) solely for (i) working capital, (ii) repayment of any outstanding revolving loans under the Existing Credit Agreement, and (iii) lawful corporate purposes of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, (b) the A-1
Term Loans shall be available for (and the Borrower agrees that it shall use such proceeds) solely for purposes of financing the Acquisition (or refinancing Debt incurred to finance the Acquisition), to pay Debt of the Acquired Company (including
any make-whole amounts related to the prepayment thereof) and to pay costs and expenses in connection with the foregoing and (c) the A-2 Term Loans were used for financing the acquisition of Boise Inc. by the Borrower on the Closing Date. 

Section 2.18. Increase in the Aggregate Commitments. The Borrower may, at any time but in any event not more than twice in any
calendar year, by notice to the Agent, request (x) an increase to the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments, (y) an increase to the aggregate amount of the A-1 Term Loans or the addition of a separate term loan facility
thereunder and/or (z) an increase to the aggregate amount of the A-2 Term Loans or the addition of a separate term loan facility thereunder (each an “Increase”), with all such Increases under clause (z) to be in an
aggregate amount not to exceed $200,000,000 and with all such Increases under clauses (x) and (y) to be in an aggregate amount not to exceed $250,000,000 and to be effective as of a date that is at least 90 days prior to the applicable
Termination Date (the “Increase Date”) as specified in the related notice to the Agent; provided, however, that (i) the requested Increase shall be an amount of $20,000,000 or an integral multiple of $5,000,000 in

  
 38 

 
excess thereof, (ii) in no event shall the aggregate amount of all Increases hereunder after the Restatement Date exceed $450,000,000, (iii) on the date of any request by the Borrower
for an Increase and on the related Increase Date (A) the representations and warranties contained in Section 4.01 shall be correct on and as of such date, before and after giving effect to such Increase, as though made on and as of such
date and (B) no event has occurred and is continuing, or would result from such Increase, that constitutes a Default and (iv) no Increase with respect to the Revolving Credit Commitments shall increase the sublimit under the Letter of
Credit Facility. 
 (a) Increase in the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments. 

(i) If the Borrower requests that the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments be increased (a “Revolving
Commitment Increase”), the Agent shall promptly notify such Lenders or Eligible Assignees as the Borrower may direct of a request by the Borrower for a Revolving Commitment Increase, which notice shall include (A) the proposed amount
of such requested Revolving Commitment Increase, (B) the proposed Increase Date and (C) the date by which Lenders wishing to participate in the Revolving Commitment Increase must commit to an increase in the amount of their respective
Commitments. Each such Lender that is willing to participate in such requested Revolving Commitment Increase (each an “Increasing Revolving Lender”) shall, in its sole discretion, give written notice to the Agent on or prior to the
relevant deadline of the amount by which it is willing to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment. The requested Revolving Commitment Increase shall be allocated among the Lenders willing to participate therein and the applicable Assuming Lenders
in such amounts as are agreed between the Borrower and the Agent. Any Lender failing to notify the Agent by the relevant deadline shall be deemed to have declined to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment. 

(ii) On each Increase Date, each Eligible Assignee that accepts an offer to participate in a requested Revolving Commitment
Increase in accordance with Section 2.18(a)(i) (each such Eligible Assignee, an “Assuming Revolving Lender”) shall become a Lender party to this Agreement as of such Increase Date and the Revolving Credit Commitment of
each Increasing Lender for such requested Revolving Commitment Increase shall be so increased by such amount (or by the amount allocated to such Lender pursuant to the last sentence of Section 2.18(a)(ii)) as of such Increase Date;
provided, however, that the Revolving Credit Commitment of each such Eligible Assignee shall be in an amount of $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and the Agent shall have received on or before such
Increase Date the following, each dated such date: 
 (A) certified copies of resolutions of the Board of Directors of the
Borrower or the Executive Committee of such Board authorizing the Revolving Commitment Increase (to the extent not authorized by resolutions previously delivered pursuant hereto); 

(B) an opinion of counsel for the Borrower (which may be in-house counsel); 

(C) an assumption agreement from each Assuming Lender, if any, in form and substance satisfactory to the Borrower and the Agent
(each an “Assumption Agreement”), duly executed by such Eligible Assignee, the Agent and the Borrower; and 

(D) confirmation from each Increasing Lender of the increase in the amount of its Revolving Credit Commitment in a writing
satisfactory to the Borrower and the Agent. 

  
 39 

 On each Increase Date, upon fulfillment of the conditions set forth in the
immediately preceding sentence of this Section 2.18(a)(ii), the Agent shall notify the Lenders (including each Assuming Revolving Lender) and the Borrower, on or before 1:00 P.M. (New York City time), of the occurrence of the Revolving
Commitment Increase to be effected on such Increase Date and shall record in the Register the relevant information with respect to each Increasing Revolving Lender and each Assuming Revolving Lender on such date. Each Increasing Revolving Lender and
each Assuming Revolving Lender shall, before 2:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the Increase Date, make available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office to the Agent at the Agent’s Account, in same day funds, in the case of such
Assuming Revolving Lender, an amount equal to such Assuming Revolving Lender’s ratable portion of the Advances then outstanding (calculated based on its Revolving Credit Commitment as a percentage of the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments
outstanding after giving effect to the relevant Revolving Commitment Increase) and, in the case of such Increasing Revolving Lender, an amount equal to the excess of (i) such Increasing Revolving Lender’s ratable portion of the Advances
then outstanding (calculated based on its Revolving Credit Commitment as a percentage of the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments outstanding after giving effect to the relevant Revolving Commitment Increase) over (ii) such Increasing
Revolving Lender’s ratable portion of the Advances then outstanding (calculated based on its Revolving Credit Commitment (without giving effect to the relevant Revolving Commitment Increase) as a percentage of the aggregate Revolving Credit
Commitments (without giving effect to the relevant Revolving Commitment Increase). After the Agent’s receipt of such funds from each such Increasing Revolving Lender and each such Assuming Revolving Lender, the Agent will promptly thereafter
cause to be distributed like funds to the other Lenders for the account of their respective Applicable Lending Offices in an amount to each other Lender such that the aggregate amount of the outstanding Advances owing to each Lender after giving
effect to such distribution equals such Lender’s ratable portion of the Advances then outstanding (calculated based on its Revolving Credit Commitment as a percentage of the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments outstanding after giving effect
to the relevant Revolving Commitment Increase). 
 (b) Increase in Aggregate Term Loans. 

(i) If the Borrower requests an Increase in the form of (x) an increase in the aggregate amount of any Class of the Term
Loans and/or (y) the addition of a separate term loan facility hereunder (any such increase or additional facility, an “Incremental Term Loan Facility”), the Agent shall promptly notify such Lenders or Eligible Assignees as the
Borrower may direct of a request by the Borrower for an Incremental Term Loan Facility, which notice shall include (A) the proposed amount of such requested Incremental Term Loan Facility, (B) the proposed Increase Date, (C) the date
by which Lenders wishing to participate in the Incremental Term Loan Facility must commit thereto and (D) whether such Increase shall be via an increase in the aggregate amount of the existing Term Loans or the addition of a separate term loan
facility. Each such Lender that is willing to participate in such requested Incremental Term Loan Facility (each an “Increasing Term Lender”) shall, in its sole discretion, give written notice thereof to the Agent on or prior to the
relevant deadline, including the amount it is willing to commit to such Incremental Term Loan Facility. The requested Incremental Term Loan Facility shall be allocated among the Lenders willing to participate therein and the applicable Assuming
Lenders in such amounts as are agreed between the Borrower and the Agent. Any Lender failing to notify the Agent by the relevant deadline shall be deemed to have declined to commit to the requested Incremental Term Loan Facility. The final maturity
date for any Incremental Term Loan Facility 

  
 40 

 
shall be no earlier than the latest Termination Date for any then existing Class of Term Loans, and the weighted average life to maturity of any Incremental Term Loan Facility shall be no shorter
than the remaining period until the latest Termination Date for any then existing Class of Term Loans. 
 (ii) On each
Increase Date, each Eligible Assignee that accepts an offer to participate in a requested Incremental Term Loan Facility in accordance with Section 2.18(b)(i) (each such Eligible Assignee, an “Assuming Term Lender”) shall
become a Lender party to this Agreement as of such Increase Date pursuant to such documentation as the Agent may reasonably require; provided, however, that the commitment of each such Eligible Assignee shall be in an amount of
$5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and the Agent shall have received on or before such Increase Date the following, each dated such date: 

(A) certified copies of resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Borrower or the Executive Committee of such Board
authorizing the Commitment Increase; 
 (B) an opinion of counsel for the Borrower (which may be in-house counsel); 
 (C) an assumption agreement from each Assuming Lender, if any, in
form and substance satisfactory to the Borrower and the Agent (each an “Assumption Agreement”), duly executed by such Eligible Assignee, the Agent and the Borrower; and 

(D) confirmation from each Increasing Lender of its commitment to the Incremental Term Loan Facility in a writing satisfactory
to the Borrower and the Agent. 
 On each Increase Date, upon fulfillment of the conditions set forth in the immediately
preceding sentence of this Section 2.18(b)(ii), the Agent shall notify the Lenders (including each Assuming Term Lender) and the Borrower, on or before 1:00 P.M. (New York City time), of the occurrence of the Incremental Term Loan Facility
to be effected on such Increase Date and shall record in the Register the relevant information with respect to each Increasing Term Lender and each Assuming Term Lender on such date. Each Increasing Term Lender and each Assuming Term Lender shall,
before 2:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the Increase Date, make available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office to the Agent at the Agent’s Account, in same day funds, an amount equal to such Lender’s ratable portion of
the Incremental Term Loan Facility. The Incremental Term Loan Facility shall be evidenced and implemented by such documentation as the Agent may reasonably require, it being acknowledged and agreed that each Incremental Term Loan Facility may share
ratably in any Subsidiary Guaranties. 
 Section 2.19. Defaulting Lenders. 

Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions
shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender: 
 (a)(x) Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any facility
fee pursuant to Section 2.04(a) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to extent allocable to the sum of (1) the outstanding amount of the Advances funded by it and (2) its Ratable Share of the
stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided cash collateral (and the Borrower shall (A) be required to pay to each Issuing Bank the amount of such fee allocable to its Letter of Credit Exposure

  
 41 

 
arising from that Defaulting Lender, (B) with respect to any facility fee that a Defaulting Lender is not entitled to receive pursuant to clause (x) above, be required to pay (without
duplication of any other payment obligation of the Borrower with respect to facility fees) to the Agent for the account of each non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such facility fee otherwise payable for the account of such Defaulting Lender
with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letters of Credit that has been reallocated to such non-Defaulting Lenders pursuant to clause (iv) below and (C) not be required to pay the remaining amount of such fee that
otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender) and (y) any Letter of Credit fees otherwise payable for the account of a Defaulting Lender with respect to any Letter of Credit as to which such Defaulting Lender
has not provided cash collateral satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section 2.19 shall be payable, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, to the other Lenders in accordance with the upward
adjustments in their respective Ratable Shares allocable to such Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.19(c) with the balance of such fee, if any, payable to the applicable Issuing Bank for its own account. 

(b) subject to the last sentence of Section 8.01, the Unused Revolving Credit Commitment and Revolving Credit Exposure of such Defaulting
Lender shall not be included in determining whether any group of Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 8.01); 

(c) if any Letter of Credit Exposure exists at the time such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then: 

(i) all or any part of the Letter of Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting
Lenders in accordance with their respective Ratable Shares but only to the extent that (A) the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Credit Exposures plus such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure does not exceed the
total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Commitments and (B) the conditions set forth in Section 3.02 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation; 

(ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall,
within one Business Day following the Borrower’s receipt of a written request from the Agent, cash collateralize for the benefit of the applicable Issuing Bank only the Borrower’s obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s
Letter of Credit Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 6.02 for so long as such Letter of Credit Exposure is outstanding; 

(iii) if the Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure pursuant to
clause (ii) above, the Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.04(b)(i) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure during the period such Defaulting
Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure is cash collateralized; 
 (iv) if the Letter of Credit Exposure of the
non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.04(b)(i) shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Ratable Shares; and 

(v) if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure is neither reallocated nor cash
collateralized pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Banks or any other Lender hereunder, all 

  
 42 

 
facility fees that otherwise would have been payable to such Defaulting Lender (solely with respect to the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment that was utilized by such Letter of
Credit Exposure) and letter of credit fees payable under Section 2.04(b)(i) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure shall be payable to the applicable Issuing Bank until and to the extent that such Letter of
Credit Exposure is reallocated and/or cash collateralized; and 
 (d) so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no Issuing Bank shall
be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure and the Defaulting Lender’s then outstanding Letter of Credit Exposure will be 100% covered by the Commitments and Letter of Credit
Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.19(c), and participating interests in any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among
non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.19(c)(i) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein). 
 If
(i) a Bankruptcy Event with respect to a Parent of any Lender shall occur following the date hereof and for so long as such event shall continue or (ii) any Issuing Bank has a good faith belief that any Lender has defaulted in fulfilling
its obligations under one or more other agreements in which such Lender commits to extend credit, such Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless the Issuing Bank shall have entered into arrangements
with the Borrower or such Lender, satisfactory to the Issuing Bank to defease any risk remaining (after giving effect to any reallocation or the provision of cash collateral as provided above) to it in respect of such Lender hereunder. 

In the event that the Agent, the Borrower (so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) and the Issuing Banks each agree
that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Letter of Credit Exposure of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Letter of Credit
Commitment and on such date as is reasonably determined by the Agent such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders as the Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance

the form of Exhibit E hereto, together with such documents as the Agent or the Required Lenders may reasonably request evidencing corporate action taken to authorize such execution and delivery and the incumbency

  
 50 

 
and signatures of officers of such Material Subsidiary, provided that a Material Subsidiary shall not be required to become a Subsidiary Guarantor if (A) a guaranty by such Material
Subsidiary would result in materially adverse tax consequences to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries or shareholders of the Borrower or (B) a guaranty by such Material Subsidiary is prohibited or limited by regulatory requirements or applicable
law. 
 (k) The proceeds of the Loans shall be used in accordance with Section 2.17, and in no event shall the proceeds of the
Revolving Credit Facility be used to finance the Acquisition. 
 (l)(i) So long as a Farm Credit Lender is a Lender or Voting Participant
hereunder, the Borrower will acquire equity in such Farm Credit Lender in such amounts and at such times as such Farm Credit Lender may require in accordance with such Farm Credit Lender’s bylaws and capital plan or similar documents (as each
may be amended from time to time), except that the maximum amount of equity that the Borrower may be required to purchase in such Farm Credit Lender in connection with the portion of the Loans made by such Farm Credit Lender may not exceed the
maximum amount permitted by the applicable bylaws, capital plan and related documents (x) at the time this Agreement is entered into or (y) in the case of a Farm Credit Lender that becomes a Lender or Voting Participant as a result of an
assignment or sale of participation, at the time of the closing of the related assignment or sale of participation. The Borrower acknowledges receipt of documents from each Farm Credit Lender that describe the nature of the Borrower’s stock and
other equities in such Farm Credit Lender acquired in connection with its patronage loan from such Farm Credit Lender (the “Farm Credit Equities”) as well as applicable capitalization requirements, and agrees to be bound by the
terms thereof. 
 (ii) Each party hereto acknowledges that each Farm Credit Lender’s bylaws, capital plan and similar
documents (as each may be amended from time to time) shall govern (x) the rights and obligations of the parties with respect to the Farm Credit Equities and any patronage refunds or other distributions made on account thereof or on account of
the Borrower’s patronage with such Farm Credit Lender, (y) the Borrower’s eligibility for patronage distributions from such Farm Credit Lender (in the form of Farm Credit Equities and cash) and (z) patronage distributions, if
any, in the event of a sale of a participation interest. Each Farm Credit Lender reserves the right to assign or sell participations in all or any part of its Commitments or outstanding Loans hereunder on a non-patronage basis (and/or to a Lender
that pays no patronage or pays patronage that is lower than the patronage paid by the transferring Farm Credit Lender) in accordance with Section 8.07; provided, that if Borrower’s consent to such assignment or sale of a participation by
such Farm Credit Lender is required pursuant to Section 8.07(a) or Section 8.07(e), as applicable, the parties hereto agree that, solely with respect to Borrower’s ability to reasonably withhold consent to such transfer because of an
expected reduction in patronage distributions to the Borrower (it being understood and agreed that the Borrower may have another basis for reasonably withholding consent to such transfer), (A) if the transferring Farm Credit Lender has not
delivered a Farm Credit Lender Transfer Certificate (as defined below) to the Borrower, then the Borrower may withhold its consent to such assignment or sale in its sole discretion (and in such case, the Borrower shall be deemed to have acted
reasonably), and (B) if the transferring Farm Credit Lender has delivered a Farm Credit Lender Transfer Certificate to the Borrower, then the Borrower may not withhold its consent to such assignment or sale (and any such withholding of consent
shall be deemed unreasonable). For purposes hereof, “Farm Credit Lender Transfer Certificate” means a certificate executed by an officer of the transferring Farm Credit Lender and certifying to the Borrower that such transferring
Farm Credit Lender has used commercially reasonable efforts to consummate the relevant assignment or sale or a participation with another entity that would be expected to make patronage distributions to the Borrower on a going forward basis that are
consistent with (or better than) those that the Borrower could reasonably have expected to have received from such transferring Farm Credit Lender. 

  
 51 

 (iii) Each party hereto acknowledges that each Farm Credit Lender has a statutory
first lien pursuant to the Farm Credit Act of 1971 on all Farm Credit Equities of such Farm Credit Lender that the Borrower may now own or hereafter acquire, which statutory lien shall be for such Farm Credit Lender’s sole and exclusive
benefit. The Farm Credit Equities of a particular Farm Credit Lender shall not constitute security for the obligations due to any other Lender. To the extent that any of the Loan Documents create a Lien on the Farm Credit Equities of a Farm Credit
Lender or on patronage accrued by such Farm Credit Lender for the account of the Borrower (including, in each case, proceeds thereof), such Lien shall be for such Farm Credit Lender’s sole and exclusive benefit and shall not be subject to pro
rata sharing hereunder. Neither the Farm Credit Equities nor any accrued patronage shall be offset against the obligations hereunder except that, in the event of an Event of Default, a Farm Credit Lender may elect, solely at its discretion, to apply
the cash portion of any patronage distribution or retirement of equity to amounts due under this Agreement. The Borrower acknowledges that any corresponding tax liability associated with such application is the sole responsibility of the Borrower.
No Farm Credit Lender shall have an obligation to retire the Farm Credit Equities of such Farm Credit Lender upon any Default, either for application to the Obligations or otherwise. 

Section 5.02. Negative Covenants. So long as any Loan shall remain unpaid or any Lender shall have any Commitment hereunder, the
Borrower will not: 
 (a) Liens, Etc. Create or suffer to exist, or permit any Subsidiary to create or suffer to exist, any Lien on
or with respect to any of its properties, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, or assign, or permit any Subsidiary to assign, any right to receive income, other than: 

(i) Permitted Liens, 

(ii) capital leases and purchase money Liens upon or in any real or personal property acquired or held by the Borrower or any
Subsidiary in the ordinary course of business to secure the purchase price of such property or to secure Debt incurred solely for the purpose of financing the acquisition of such property, or Liens existing on such property at the time of its
acquisition (other than any such Liens created in contemplation of such acquisition that were not incurred to finance the acquisition of such property) or extensions, renewals or replacements of any of the foregoing for the same or a lesser amount,
provided, however, that no such Lien shall extend to or cover any properties of any character other than the property being acquired, and no such extension, renewal or replacement shall extend to or cover any properties not theretofore
subject to the Lien being extended, renewed or replaced, provided further that the aggregate principal amount of the indebtedness secured by the Liens referred to in this clause (ii) shall not exceed $250,000,000 at any time
outstanding, 
 (iii) the Liens existing on the Restatement Date and described on Schedule 5.02(a) hereto, 

(iv) Liens on property of a Person existing at the time such Person is merged into or consolidated with the Borrower or any
Subsidiary or becomes a Subsidiary; provided that such Liens were not created in contemplation of such merger, consolidation or acquisition and do not extend to any assets other than those of the Person so merged into or consolidated with the
Borrower or such Subsidiary or acquired by the Borrower or such Subsidiary, 

  
 52 

 (v) assignments of the right to receive income or Liens granted by the Borrower
or any Subsidiary in connection with any Permitted Receivables Financing or Non-Recourse supplier financing; provided that any such Permitted Receivables Financing incurred by a Subsidiary shall be permitted under Section 5.02(d)(iv), 

(vi) licenses, leases or subleases granted to other Persons in the ordinary course of business not materially interfering with
the conduct of the business of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, 
 (vii) Liens arising from precautionary
UCC financing statement filings regarding operating leases entered into by the Borrower or any Subsidiary (other than a Receivables Subsidiary) in the ordinary course of business, 

(viii) Liens arising out of judgments or awards in circumstances not constituting an Event of Default under Section 6.01
in respect of which the Borrower or any Subsidiary shall in good faith be prosecuting an appeal or proceedings for review in respect of which there shall have been secured a subsisting stay of execution pending such appeal or proceedings,
provided that the aggregate amount of all such judgments or awards does not exceed $25,000,000 at any time outstanding, 

(ix) statutory, contractual and common law landlords’ liens under leases or subleases permitted by this Agreement,

presentment, demand, protest or further notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower; provided, however, that in the event of an actual or deemed
entry of an order for relief with respect to the Borrower under the Federal Bankruptcy Code, (A) the obligation of each Lender to make Loans (other than Advances by an Issuing Bank or a Lender pursuant to Section 2.03(c)) and of the

deposit in the L/C Cash Collateral Account, an amount equal to the aggregate Available Amount of all Letters of Credit then outstanding or (b) make such other arrangements in respect of the outstanding Letters of Credit as shall be acceptable

funds is less than the aggregate Available Amount of all Letters of Credit, the Borrower will, forthwith upon demand by the Agent, pay to the Agent, as additional funds to be deposited and held in the L/C Cash Collateral Account, an amount equal to
the excess of (a) such aggregate Available Amount over (b) the total amount of funds, if any, then held in the L/C Cash Collateral Account that the Agent determines to be free and clear of any such right and claim. Upon the drawing of any
Letter of Credit, to the extent funds are on deposit in the L/C Cash Collateral Account, such funds shall be applied to reimburse the Issuing Banks to the extent permitted by applicable law. After all such Letters of Credit shall have expired or
been fully drawn upon and all other obligations of the Borrower hereunder and under the Notes shall have been paid in full, the balance, if any, in such L/C Cash Collateral Account shall be returned to the Borrower.

matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement (including enforcement or collection of the Notes), the Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall
be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Required Lenders, and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders and all holders of Notes; provided, however, that the Agent shall not be

obtained or received in any capacity other than as Agent. 
 Section 7.04. Lender Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that
it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender and based on the financial statements referred to in Section 4.01 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis

Section 7.05. Indemnification. 

(a) Each Lender severally agrees to indemnify the Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower) from and against such Lender’s
Ratable Share of any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Agent in any
way relating to or 

  
 59 

 
arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any action taken or omitted by the Agent under or any other Loan Document (collectively, the “Indemnified Costs”),
provided that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of the Indemnified Costs resulting from the Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Agent promptly upon
demand for its Ratable Share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable counsel fees) incurred by the Agent in connection with the preparation, execution,

extent that the Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by the Borrower. In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any Indemnified Costs, this Section 7.05 applies whether any such investigation, litigation or

extent not promptly reimbursed by the Borrower) from and against such Lender’s Ratable Share of any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature
whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against any such Issuing Bank in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any action taken or omitted by such Issuing Bank hereunder or in
connection herewith; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such
Issuing Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse any such Issuing Bank promptly upon demand for its Ratable Share of any costs and expenses (including reasonable fees
and expenses of counsel) payable by the Borrower under Section 8.04, to the extent that such Issuing Bank is not promptly reimbursed for such costs and expenses by the Borrower. 

(c) The failure of any Lender to reimburse the Agent or any Issuing Bank promptly upon demand for its Ratable Share of any amount required to
be paid by the Lenders to the Agent or such Issuing Bank as provided herein shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to reimburse the Agent or such Issuing Bank for its Ratable Share of such amount, but no Lender shall be
responsible for the failure of any other Lender to reimburse the Agent or an Issuing Bank for such other Lender’s Ratable Share of such amount. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of any Lender hereunder, the agreement and
obligations of each Lender contained in this Section 8.05 shall survive the payment in full of principal, interest and all other amounts payable hereunder and under the Notes. 

Section 7.06. Successor Agent. The Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower
and may be removed at any time with or without cause by the Required Lenders. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent with, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, the consent of the Borrower, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the
retiring Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or the Required Lenders’ removal of the retiring Agent, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent, which shall be a commercial bank organized under the
laws of the United States of America or of any State thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon

scheduled date of payment may not be postponed as to such Defaulting Lender without such Defaulting Lender’s consent and (iii) any waiver, amendment or other modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that
affects any Defaulting Lender more adversely than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender. With respect to any matter requiring the approval of each Lender, each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby or
other specified Lenders, it is understood that Voting Participants shall have the voting rights specified in Section 8.07(i) as to such matter.

 Section 8.03. No Waiver; Remedies. No failure on the
part of any Lender or the Agent to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder or under any Note shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other right. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law. 

Section 8.04. Costs and Expenses. 

(a) The Borrower agrees to pay on demand all reasonable and documented costs and expenses of the Agent in connection with the preparation,
execution, delivery, administration, modification and amendment of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the other documents to be delivered hereunder, including (A) all due diligence, syndication (including printing, distribution and
bank meetings), transportation, computer, duplication, appraisal, consultant, and audit expenses and (B) the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of counsel for the Agent with respect thereto and with respect to advising the Agent as to
its rights and responsibilities under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Borrower further agrees to pay on demand all costs and expenses of the Agent and the Lenders, if any (including reasonable and documented counsel fees and
expenses), in connection with the enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the other documents to be delivered hereunder, including reasonable and documented fees and
expenses of counsel for the Agent and each Lender in connection with the enforcement of rights under this Section 8.04(a). 
 (b) The
Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Agent and each Lender and each of their Affiliates and their officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all claims,
damages, losses, liabilities, obligations, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, disbursements and expenses (including reasonable and documented fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Party,
in each case arising out of or in connection with or by reason of (including in connection with any investigation, litigation or proceeding or preparation of a defense in connection therewith) (i) this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, any
of the transactions contemplated herein or the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Loans or (ii) the actual or alleged presence of Hazardous Materials on 

  
 63 

 
any property of the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any Environmental Action relating in any way to the Borrower or any Subsidiary, except to the extent such claim, damage, loss, liability or
expense resulted from such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined in a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. In the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to
which the indemnity in this Section 8.04(b) applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by the Borrower, its directors, equityholders or creditors or an Indemnified
Party or any other Person, whether or not any Indemnified Party is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated. The Borrower also agrees not to assert any claim for special, indirect,
consequential or punitive damages against the Agent, any Lender, any of their Affiliates, or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, attorneys and agents, on any theory of liability, arising out of or otherwise relating to this
Agreement, the other Loan Documents, any of the transactions contemplated herein or the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Loans. 

(c) If any payment of principal of, or Conversion of, any Eurodollar Rate Loan is made by the Borrower to or for the account of a Lender other
than on the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan, as a result of a payment or Conversion pursuant to Section 2.08(d) or (e), 2.10 or 2.12, acceleration of the maturity of the Notes pursuant to Section 6.01 or for any other
reason, or by an Eligible Assignee to a Lender other than on the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan upon an assignment of rights and obligations under this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.07 as a result of a demand by the Borrower
pursuant to Section 8.07(a), the Borrower shall, upon demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Agent), pay to the Agent for the account of such Lender any amounts required to compensate such Lender for any additional losses,
costs or expenses that it may reasonably incur as a result of such payment or Conversion, including any loss (excluding loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds
acquired by any Lender to fund or maintain such Loan. A certificate of the affected Lender under this Section 8.04(c), setting forth its calculation of loss in reasonable detail, shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error.

 (d) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrower
contained in Sections 2.11 and 2.14 and this Section 8.04 shall survive the payment in full of principal, interest and all other amounts payable hereunder and under the Notes. 

Section 8.05. Right of Set-off. Upon (i) the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default and (ii) the
making of the request or the granting of the consent specified by Section 6.01 to authorize the Agent to declare the Notes due and payable pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.01, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby
authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by
such Lender or such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Loan Party against any and all of the obligations of such Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement, any Note held by such Lender and the other Loan Documents,
whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or such Note and although such obligations may be unmatured. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the applicable Loan Party after any such
set-off and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of each Lender and its
Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) that such Lender and its Affiliates may have. 

Section 8.06. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective upon satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in
Section 3.01 and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the 

  
 64 

 
benefit of the Borrower, the Agent and each Lender and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrower shall not have the right to assign its rights hereunder or any interest
herein without the prior written consent of all of the Lenders. 
 Section 8.07. Assignments and Participations. 

(a) Each Lender (x) may with the consent of (1) the Agent (in the case of an assignment of a Revolving Credit Commitment to a Person
other than a Revolving Lender, an Affiliate of a Revolving Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to a Revolving Lender or in the case of an assignment of a Term Loan or a Term Loan Commitment to a Person other than a Lender, an Affiliate of a
Lender or an Approved Fund), (2) each Issuing Bank (in the case of an assignment of Revolving Credit Commitment) and, (3) so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and other than with respect to (A) an assignment
of a Term Loan to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or (B) an assignment of a Revolving Credit Commitment to an existing Revolving Lender, an Affiliate of an existing Revolving Lender, or an Approved Fund with respect to an
existing Revolving Lender or a Term Loan Commitment to an existing Revolving Lender or Term Lender, an Affiliate of an existing Revolving Lender or Term Lender, or an Approved Fund with respect to an existing Revolving Lender or Term Lender, the
Borrower (which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Agent within ten Business Days
after having received notice thereof), and (y) will, if demanded by the Borrower (following a demand by such Lender pursuant to Section 2.11, 2.14 or 2.20 or if such Lender is affected by an event described in Section 2.12 or is a
Defaulting Lender) upon at least five Business Days’ notice to such Lender and the Agent, assign to one or more Persons all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Revolving Credit
Commitment, the Loans and Advances owing to it, its participations in Letters of Credit and the Note or Notes held by it) in accordance with Section 8.15; provided, however, that (i) each such assignment shall be of a
constant, and not a varying, percentage of all of its rights and obligations under the relevant facility under this Agreement, (ii) except in the case of an assignment to a Person that, immediately prior to such assignment, was a Lender or an
assignment of all of a Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, the amount of the applicable Commitment (or, if the relevant Commitment has terminated, of the principal amount of the Loans under the applicable facility) of the
assigning Lender being assigned pursuant to each such assignment (determined as of the date of the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment) shall in no event be less than (x) in the case of an assignment of Revolving Credit
Commitment (or, if the Revolving Credit Commitments have terminated, Loans under the Revolving Credit Facility), $5,000,000 (and shall be an integral multiple of $1,000,000), and (y) in the case of an assignment of an A-1 Term Loan Commitment
(or, if applicable, an A-1 Term Loan) or an A-2 Term Loan Commitment (or, if applicable, an A-2 Term Loan), $1,000,000, in each case unless the Agent and, if no Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise agree, (iii) each
such assignment shall be to an Eligible Assignee and shall comply with Section 8.07(h), (iv) each such assignment made as a result of a demand by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 8.07(a) shall be arranged by the Borrower
after consultation with the Agent and shall be either an assignment of all of the rights and obligations of the assigning Lender under this Agreement or an assignment of a portion of such rights and obligations made concurrently with another such
assignment or other such assignments that together cover all of the rights and obligations of the assigning Lender under this Agreement, (v) no Lender shall be obligated to make any such assignment as a result of a demand by the Borrower
pursuant to this Section 8.07(a) unless and until such Lender shall have received one or more payments from either the Borrower or one or more Eligible Assignees in an aggregate amount at least equal to the aggregate outstanding principal
amount of the Loans owing to such Lender, together with accrued interest thereon to the date of payment of such principal amount and all other amounts payable to such Lender under this Agreement, (vi) the parties to each such assignment shall
execute and deliver to the Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register, an Assignment and Acceptance, together with any Note subject 

  
 65 

 
to such assignment and a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 payable by the parties to each such assignment, provided, however, that in the case of each assignment made as a
result of a demand by the Borrower, such recordation fee shall be payable by the Borrower except that no such recordation fee shall be payable in the case of an assignment made at the request of the Borrower to an Eligible Assignee that is an
existing Lender, (vii) no consent of the Borrower, the Agent or any Issuing Bank shall be required in the case of an assignment to any Affiliate or Approved Fund of the assigning Lender or in the case of an assignment to a Person that,
immediately prior to such assignment, was a Lender and (viii) the Agent shall not have any responsibility or liability for monitoring or enforcing any of the provisions set forth herein with respect to Competitors. Upon such execution,
delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, (x) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned
to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and (y) the Lender assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such
Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights (other than its rights under Sections 2.11, 2.14 and 8.04 to the extent any claim thereunder relates to an event arising prior to such assignment) and be released from its obligations under this
Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto). 

(b) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the Lender assignor thereunder and the assignee thereunder confirm to and agree
with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements,
warranties or representations made in or in connection with any Loan Document or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of, or the perfection or priority of any lien or security interest created or
purported to be created under or in connection with, any Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (ii) such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to
the financial condition of any Loan Party or the performance or observance by any Loan Party of any of its obligations under any Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such assignee confirms that it
has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the financial statements referred to in Section 4.01 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into
such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such assignee will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, such assigning Lender 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 decisions in taking or not taking action under the Loan Documents; (v) such assignee confirms that it is an Eligible Assignee; (vi) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Agent to take such action as agent on its
behalf and to exercise such powers and discretion under any Loan Document as are delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vii) such assignee
agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations that by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender. 

(c) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee representing that it is an Eligible
Assignee, together with any Note or Notes subject to such assignment, the Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has been completed and is in substantially the form of Exhibit C hereto, (i) accept such Assignment and
Acceptance, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower. 

(d) The Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 8.02 a copy of each Assumption Agreement and each Assignment and
Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment of, and 

  
 66 

 
principal amount of the Loans and Advances owing to, each Lender from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be prima facie evidence of the correctness
thereof and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be
available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 
 (e)
Subject to Section 8.07(h), each Lender may sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (other than any Loan Party or any of its Affiliates) (each, a “Participant”) in or to all or a portion of its rights and
obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment, its participation in Letters of Credit, the Loans owing to it and any Note or Notes held by it); provided, however, that (i) such Lender’s
obligations under this Agreement (including its Commitment to the Borrower hereunder) shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) such
Lender shall remain the holder of any such Note for all purposes of this Agreement, (iv) each Loan Party, the Agent, the Issuing Banks and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such
Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and (v) subject to Section 8.07(i), no Participant under any such participation shall have any right to approve any amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or
any other Loan Document, or any consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, except to the extent that such amendment, waiver or consent would reduce the principal of, or interest on, the Notes or any fees or other amounts payable
hereunder, in each case to the extent subject to such participation, or postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Notes or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in each case to the extent subject to such
participation, in each case subject to clause (i) below. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 7.05 without regard to the existence of any participation. 

Except as set forth above in this Section 8.07(e) and as set forth in Section 8.07(i), any agreement or instrument
pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement. The Borrower agrees
that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.11, 2.14 and 2.20 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section (it
being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.14 (e) shall be delivered to the Lender who sells the participation) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to
paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.11, 2.14 or 2.20 with respect to any participation, than the Lender from whom it
acquired the applicable participation would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. To
the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 8.05 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.15 as though it were a
Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each
Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register
(including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such
disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be
conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the
avoidance of doubt, the Agent (in its capacity as Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. 

  
 67 

 (f) Any Lender may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or
participation pursuant to this Section 8.07, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant, any information relating to the Loan Parties furnished to such Lender by or on behalf of the Loan Parties; provided that,
prior to any such disclosure, the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant shall agree to preserve the confidentiality of any Borrower Information relating to the Loan Parties received by it from such Lender. 

(g) Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, any Lender may at any time create a security interest in all or any
portion of its rights under this Agreement (including the Loans owing to it and any Note or Notes held by it) in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the Board. 

(h) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.07 or any other provision of this Agreement, (i) no Lender
shall assign or sell a participation in any of its rights or obligations hereunder unless the proposed assignee or participant represents and warrants in the applicable Assignment and Acceptance or participation agreement that such Person is not a
Competitor; and (ii) if any representation and warranty described in the foregoing clause (i) shall prove to have been incorrect in any material respect when made, then the applicable assignee or participant (A) shall have no right to
receive any information under this Agreement, except for information with respect to administrative matters (such as principal balances, borrowing requests, interest payments and loan repayments) and matters on which such assignee or Participant is
entitled to vote pursuant to clause (C) below; (B) shall have no rights under Section 5.01(e); and (C) in the case of an assignee, shall have no voting rights hereunder other than with respect to matters on which a
Defaulting Lender would be entitled to vote as set forth in the last sentence of Section 8.01. 
 (i) Notwithstanding anything
in this Section 8.07 to the contrary, any Farm Credit Lender that (i) has purchased a participation from any Lender that is a Farm Credit Lender in the minimum amount of $5,000,000 on or after the Closing Date, (ii) is, by written
notice to the Borrower and the Agent (a “Voting Participant Notification”), designated by the selling Lender as being entitled to be accorded the rights of a voting participant hereunder (any Farm Credit Lender so designated being
called a “Voting Participant”) and (iii) receives the prior written consent of the Borrower and the Agent to become a Voting Participant (to the extent such consent would be required pursuant to Section 8.07(a) if such
transfer were an assignment rather than a sale of a participation), shall be entitled to vote (and the voting rights of the selling Lender shall be correspondingly reduced), on a dollar for dollar basis, as if such Voting Participant were a Lender,
on any matter requiring or allowing a Lender to provide or withhold its consent, or to otherwise vote on any proposed action, in each case, in lieu of the vote of the selling Lender; provided, however, that if such Voting Participant has at any time
failed to fund any portion of its participation when required to do so and written notice of such failure has been delivered by the selling Lender to the Agent, then until such time as all amounts of its participation required to have been funded
have been funded and notice of such funding has been delivered by the selling Lender to the Agent, such Voting Participant shall not be entitled to exercise its voting rights pursuant to the terms of this clause (g), and the voting rights of the
selling Lender shall not be correspondingly reduced by the amount of such Voting Participant’s participation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Farm Credit Lender designated as a Voting Participant on Schedule 8.07(i) shall be a Voting
Participant to the extent of the amount of its participation set forth on Schedule 8.07(i) without delivery of a Voting Participant Notification and without the prior written consent of the Borrower and the Agent. To be effective, each Voting
Participant Notification shall, with respect to any Voting Participant, (A) state the full name of 

  
 68 

 
such Voting Participant, as well as all contact information required of an assignee as set forth in the Administrative Questionnaire, (B) state the dollar amount of the participation
purchased and (C) include such other information as may be required by the Agent. The selling Lender and the Voting Participant shall notify the Agent and the Borrower in writing within three Business Days of any termination of, or reduction or
increase in the amount of, such participation and shall promptly upon request of the Agent update or confirm there has been no change in the information set forth in Schedule 8.07(i) or delivered in connection with any Voting Participant
Notification. The Borrower and the Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely on information provided by a Lender identifying itself or its participant as a Farm Credit Lender without verification thereof and may also conclusively rely on the
information set forth in Schedule 8.07(i) delivered in connection with any Voting Participant Notification or otherwise furnished pursuant to this clause (i) and, unless and until notified thereof in writing by the selling Lender, may assume
that there have been no changes in the identity of Voting Participants, the dollar amount of participations, the contact information of the participants or any other information furnished to the Borrower or the Agent pursuant to this clause (i). The
voting rights hereunder are solely for the benefit of the Voting Participants and shall not inure to any assignee or participant of a Voting Participant. 

Section 8.08. Confidentiality. Neither the Agent nor any Lender may disclose to any Person any confidential, proprietary or non-public information of the Loan Parties furnished to the Agent or the Lenders by any Loan Party (such information being referred to collectively herein as the “Borrower Information”), except that
each of the Agent and each of the Lenders may disclose Borrower Information (i) to its and its affiliates’ employees, officers, directors, agents and advisors on a need to know basis (it being understood that the Persons to whom such
disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Borrower Information and instructed to keep such Borrower Information confidential on substantially the same terms as provided herein), (ii) to the extent requested by any
regulatory authority or any self-regulatory organization purporting to have jurisdiction over such Lender, (iii) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (iv) to any other party
to this Agreement, (v) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (vi) subject to
an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 8.08, to any assignee or participant or prospective assignee or participant, (vii) to the extent such Borrower Information (A) is or becomes generally
available to the public on a non-confidential basis other than as a result of a breach of this Section 8.08 by the Agent or a Lender, or (B) is or becomes available to the Agent or such Lender on a
nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Loan Parties and (viii) with the consent of any Loan Party, provided that, prior to any disclosure pursuant to (ii) or (iii) above, the disclosing party agrees that it will notify the
Borrower as soon as practical in the event of any such request for a disclosure, unless such notification shall be prohibited by applicable law or legal process, or, with respect to clause (ii), is in connection with an examination by any
governmental agency or regulatory authority, including any self-regulatory organization asserting jurisdiction over such Lender in the normal course. 

Section 8.09. Governing Law. This Agreement and the Notes shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the
State of New York. 
 Section 8.10. Execution in Counterparts; Electronic Execution of Assignments and Certain Other
Documents. 
 (a) This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts,
each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by telecopier or in pdf or
similar file shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. 

  
 69

“signature,” and words of like import in or related to any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (including Assignment and Acceptances, amendments or other modifications, Notices
of Borrowing, waivers and consents) shall be deemed to include electronic signatures, the electronic matching of assignment terms and contract formations on electronic platforms approved by the Agent, or the keeping of records in electronic form,
each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the
Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state law based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act; provided that notwithstanding anything
contained herein to the contrary, the Agent is under no obligation to agree to accept electronic signatures in any form or in any format unless expressly agreed to by the Agent pursuant to procedures approved by it 

Section 8.11. Jurisdiction, Etc. 

(a) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction
of any New York State court or federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York City, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in any such
New York State court or, to the extent permitted by law, in such federal court. The Borrower hereby agrees and consents to the service of process in any action or proceeding in such courts by the mailing thereof by any parties hereto by
registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to the Borrower at its address specified pursuant to Section 8.02. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced
in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that any party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents in the courts of any jurisdiction. 
 (b) Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent
it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents in any New York State or
federal court. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court. 

Section 8.12. No Liability of the Issuing Banks. Neither the Agent, the Lenders nor any Issuing Bank, nor any of their respective
Affiliates or their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any
payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in Section 2.06(b)), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any
Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the applicable Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing
shall not be construed to excuse any Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by
applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuing Bank, such Issuing Bank’s payment under a Letter of Credit based upon documents that did not

  
 70 

 
substantially comply with the requirements of such Letter of Credit or such Issuing Bank’s failure to make payment under a Letter of Credit after receipt of documents that strictly complied
with the requirements of such Letter of Credit. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with
the terms of a Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary,
or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit. 

Section 8.13. Patriot Act Notice. Each Lender hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot
Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Borrower, Subsidiary
Guarantor or grantor (the “Loan Parties”), which information includes the name and address of each Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender to identify such Loan Party in accordance with the Act. The Borrower
shall, promptly following a request by the Agent or any Lender, provide all documentation and other information that the Agent or such Lender reasonably requests in order to comply with its ongoing obligations under applicable “know your
customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the Act. 
 Section 8.14. Waiver of Jury Trial. Each
of the Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders hereby irrevocably waives all right to trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim (whether based on contract, tort or otherwise) arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents or the actions of the Agent or any Lender in the negotiation, administration, performance or enforcement thereof. 

Section 8.15. Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender demands compensation pursuant to Section 2.11, 2.14 or 2.20 or is
affected by an event described in Section 2.12 or is a Non-Consenting Lender (as defined below), a Sanctioned Lender or a Defaulting Lender (any of the foregoing, an “Affected Lender”), then the Borrower may, at its sole
expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the 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 8.07), all of its
interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that: 

(a) the Borrower shall have paid to the Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 8.07(a); 

(b) subject to Section 8.20(b) in the case of a Sanctioned Lender, such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the
outstanding principal of its Loans and Advances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 8.04(c)) 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); 
 (c) in the case
of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.11 or 2.20 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.14, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;

 (d) such assignment does not conflict with applicable laws and regulations; and 

(e) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a Lender’s failure to consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, discharge or
termination with respect to any Loan Document, (i) the 

  
 71 

 
assignee shall have approved such consent, waiver or amendment and (ii) the applicable amendment, modification and/or waiver of this Agreement that the Borrower has requested shall become
effective upon giving effect to such assignment (and any related assignments required to be effected in connection therewith in accordance with this Section 8.07). 

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. 
 In the event that
(i) the Borrower or the Agent has requested that the Lenders consent to a departure or waiver of any provisions of the Loan Documents or agree to any amendment thereto, (ii) the consent, waiver or amendment in question requires the
agreement of each Lender, each affected Lender or each affected Lender of a certain Class in accordance with the terms of Section 8.01 or all the Lenders with respect to a certain Class of the Loans and (iii) the Required Lenders (or, in
the case of a consent, waiver or amendment involving all affected Lenders of a certain Class, the Required Revolving Lenders or Required Term Loan Lenders of such Class, as applicable) have agreed to such consent, waiver or amendment, then any
Lender that does not agree to such consent, waiver or amendment shall be deemed a “Non-Consenting Lender.” 
 In connection with
any such replacement of an Affected Lender pursuant to this Section 8.15, if such Affected Lender does not execute and deliver to the Agent a duly executed Assignment and Acceptance reflecting such replacement within two (2) Business Days
of the date on which the assignee Lender executes and delivers such Assignment and Acceptance to such Affected Lender, then such Affected Lender shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Acceptance without any action on the
part of such Affected Lender. 
 Section 8.16. Acknowledgment and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among the parties hereto, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Lender that is an EEA Financial Institution
arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by: 

(a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may
be payable to it by any Lender that is an EEA Financial Institution; and 
 (b) the effects of any Bail-in Action on any such liability,
including, if applicable: 
 (i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability; 

(ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial
Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such
liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or 
 (iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in
connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of any EEA Resolution Authority. 

  
 72 

 Section 8.17. Amendment and Restatement. The parties hereto agree that, on the
Restatement Date, the following shall be deemed to occur automatically, without further action by any party hereto: (a) the Existing Credit Agreement shall be deemed to be amended and restated in its entirety pursuant to this Agreement;
(b) all obligations under the Existing Credit Agreement outstanding on the Restatement Date shall in all respects be continuing and be deemed to be obligations outstanding hereunder and shall not constitute a novation of any indebtedness or
other obligations owing to the Agent or the Lenders under the Existing Credit Agreement; and (c) all references in the other Loan Documents to the Existing Credit Agreement shall be deemed to refer without further amendment to this Agreement.
The parties hereto further acknowledge and agree that this Agreement constitutes an amendment to the Existing Credit Agreement made in accordance with Section 8.01 of the Existing Credit Agreement. 

Section 8.18. New Lenders. From and after the Restatement Date, by execution of this Agreement, each Person identified as a
“Lender” on each signature page that is not already a Lender under the Existing Credit Agreement hereby acknowledges, agrees and confirms that, by its execution of this Agreement, such Person will be deemed to be a party to this Agreement
and a “Lender” for all purposes of this Agreement, and shall have all of the obligations of a Lender hereunder as if it had executed the Existing Credit Agreement. Each such Person hereby ratifies, as of the date hereof, and agrees to be
bound by, all of the terms, provisions and conditions applicable to the Lenders contained in this Agreement. 
 Section 8.19.
Ratification of Subsidiary Guaranty. Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors listed on the signature pages hereof under the caption “Subsidiary Guarantors” hereby consents to the provisions of this Agreement in its capacity as a Subsidiary
Guarantor, and ratifies the provisions of the Subsidiary Guaranty. 
 Section 8.20. Sanctioned Lenders 

(a) The Borrower shall have no obligation to pay any Lender a facility fee pursuant to Section 2.04(a) or any Letter of Credit Fee
pursuant to Section 2.04(b)(i) for any day on which such Lender is a Sanctioned Lender. 
 (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
herein, no Sanctioned Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, except that (unless otherwise required by applicable law) the Commitment of such Lender may not be increased or extended, the
principal amount of the Loans owed to such Lender may not be reduced, the final maturity of such Loans may not be extended and this clause (b) may not be amended, in each case, without the consent of such Lender. 

(c) Notwithstanding Section 8.15 or any other provision of this Agreement (but subject to clause (d) below), if any Lender is a
Sanctioned Lender, then the Borrower (i) may, with the consent of Administrative Agent if a Default or Event of Default exists, and (ii) shall, promptly upon notice from Administrative Agent that any Law applicable to the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent or any Lender requires such action, prepay such Lender’s Loans, all accrued interest thereon and all other amounts payable to such Lender hereunder, in each case on a non-pro-rata basis, whereupon such Lender shall cease to
have any rights or obligations hereunder (other than, to the extent permitted by applicable law, with respect to rights and obligations that expressly survive the payment in full of the Loans, all interest thereon and all other amounts payable under
this Agreement and the termination of this Agreement). 
 (d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if it would be unlawful
for the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any assignee pursuant to Section 8.15(a) or Section 8.15(c) to make a payment to any Sanctioned Lender, then any amount that the Borrower, the Administrative Agent

  
 73 

 
or such assignee would otherwise pay to such Sanctioned Lender pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be held for such Sanctioned Lender pursuant to arrangements satisfactory
the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and such assignee, in each case as applicable, and shall be paid to such Sanctioned Lender only when making such payment is no longer unlawful.

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, Packaging Corporation of America, a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), HEREBY PROMISES TO PAY to the
order of                      (the “Lender”) for the account of its Applicable Lending Office on the Termination Date

 The Borrower

Both principal and interest are payable in lawful money of the United States of America to Bank of America, N.A., as Agent, at 135 S. LaSalle Street, Suite

 This Promissory Note is one of the Notes referred to in, and is

the terms and conditions therein specified. 
 This note amends, restates and supersedes the Note, dated October 18, 2013, delivered by Borrower to
Lender (the “Original Note”). This note shall apply in all respects and in the same manner as if it had been the Original Note and were dated the date thereof. Further, the indebtedness created under the Original Note is continuing

may receive, directly or indirectly, a portion of the proceeds of the Loans under the Credit Agreement and will derive substantial direct and indirect benefits from the transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement. It is a condition to the
making of Loans and the issuance of Letters of Credit by the Lenders under the Credit Agreement from time to time that each Material Subsidiary of the Borrower shall have executed and delivered this Guaranty. 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and for other good and valuable consideration, each Guarantor, jointly and severally with
each other Guarantor, hereby agrees as follows: 
 Section 1. Certain Definitions. 

As used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following meanings: 

“Commodity Exchange Act” means the Commodity Exchange Act (7 U.S.C. § 1 et seq.), as amended from
time to time, and any successor statute. 
 “Excluded Swap Obligation” means, with respect to any Guarantor, any Swap
Obligation if, and to the extent that, all or a portion of the Guaranty of such Guarantor of, or the grant by such Guarantor of a security interest to secure, such Swap Obligation (or any Guarantee thereof) is or becomes illegal under the Commodity
Exchange Act or any rule, regulation or order of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (or the application or official interpretation of any thereof) by virtue of such Guarantor’s failure for any reason to constitute an “eligible
contract participant” as defined in the Commodity Exchange Act and the regulations thereunder at the time the Guaranty of such Guarantor, or the grant by such Guarantor of a security interest, becomes effective with respect to such Swap
Obligation; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, in determining whether any Guarantor is an “eligible contract participant” under the Commodity Exchange Act, the keepwell agreement set forth in Section 17 shall be
taken into account. If a Swap Obligation arises under a master agreement governing more than one swap, such exclusion shall apply only to the portion of such Swap Obligation that is attributable to Hedging Transactions for which such Guaranty or
security interest is or becomes illegal. 
 “Qualified ECP Guarantor” means, in respect of any Swap Obligation, each
Guarantor that has total assets exceeding $10,000,000 at the time the relevant Guaranty or grant of the relevant security interest becomes effective with respect to such Swap Obligation or such other Person as constitutes an

 EXHIBIT E 

FORM OF SUBSIDIARY GUARANTY 
  

 
“eligible contract participant” under the Commodity Exchange Act or any regulations promulgated thereunder and can cause another Person to qualify as an “eligible contract
participant” at such time by entering into a keepwell under Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act. 

“Specified Loan Party” means each of the Borrower and each Guarantor that is, at the time on which the relevant Guarantee or
grant of the relevant security interest under the Loan Documents by such Person becomes effective with respect to a Swap Obligation, a corporation, partnership, proprietorship, organization, trust or other entity that would not be an “eligible
contract participant” under the Commodity Exchange Act at such time but for the effect of Section 17. 
 “Swap
Obligation” means with respect to any Guarantor, any obligation to pay or perform under any agreement, contract or transaction that constitutes a “swap” within the meaning of Section 1a(47) of the Commodity Exchange Act. 

Section 2. Guaranty; Limitation of Liability. 

(a) Each Guarantor hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the punctual payment when due, whether at
scheduled maturity or on any date of a required prepayment or by acceleration, demand or otherwise, of all obligations of each other Loan Party now or hereafter existing under or in respect of (x) the Loan Documents, (y) any agreement to
provide cash management services, including treasury, depository, overdraft, credit or debit card, credit card processing, purchase card, ACH transactions, electronic funds transfer and other cash management arrangements (a “Secured Cash
Management Agreement”) and (z) any Hedge Agreement (a “Secured Hedge Agreement”), in the case of such cash management agreement or Hedge Agreement, between the Borrower and any Person that is a Lender or an Affiliate
of a Lender at the time that it becomes a party to such agreement (including, without limitation, any extensions, modifications, substitutions, amendments or renewals of any or all of the foregoing obligations), whether direct or indirect, absolute
or contingent, and whether for principal, interest, premiums, fees, indemnities, contract causes of action, costs, expenses or otherwise (such obligations being the “Guaranteed Obligations”; provided, that “Guaranteed
Obligations” of a Guarantor shall exclude any Excluded Swap Obligations of such Guarantor), and agrees to pay any and all expenses (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by the Agent or any Lender in enforcing
any rights under this Guaranty or any other Loan Document. For purposes of this Guaranty and any Guaranty Supplement, (i) the term “Lender” shall include any Person that is a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender at the time that it
becomes a party to a Secured Hedge Agreement or a Secured Cash Management Agreement and (ii) the term “Loan Documents” shall include Secured Hedge Agreements and Secured Cash Management Agreements. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, each Guarantor’s liability shall extend to all amounts that constitute part of the Guaranteed Obligations and would be owed by any other Loan Party to the Agent or any Lender under or in respect of the Loan Documents but for the
fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving such other Loan Party. 

(b) Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of this Guaranty, the Agent and each Lender, hereby confirms that it is the intention
of all such Persons that this Guaranty and the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law (as hereinafter defined), the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform
Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar foreign, federal or state law to the extent applicable to this Guaranty and the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Agent, the Lenders and the Guarantors hereby
irrevocably agree that the

 EXHIBIT E 

FORM OF SUBSIDIARY GUARANTY 
  

 
obligations of each Guarantor under this Guaranty at any time shall be limited to the maximum amount as will result in the obligations of such Guarantor under this Guaranty not constituting a
fraudulent transfer or conveyance. For purposes hereof, “Bankruptcy Law” means any proceeding of the type referred to in Section 6.01(e) of the Credit Agreement or Title 11, U.S. Code, or any similar foreign, federal or
state law for the relief of debtors. 
 (c) Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees that in the event
any payment shall be required to be made to the Agent or any Lender under this Guaranty or any other guaranty, such Guarantor will contribute, to the maximum extent permitted by law and subject to the limitation of liability provided in the
preceding clause (b), such amounts to each other Guarantor and each other guarantor so as to maximize the aggregate amount paid to the Agent and the Lenders under or in respect of the Loan Documents. 

Section 3. Guaranty Absolute. 

Each Guarantor guarantees that the Guaranteed Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, regardless
of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of the Agent or any Lender with respect thereto. The obligations of each Guarantor under or in respect of this Guaranty are
independent of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other obligations of any other Loan Party under or in respect of the Loan Documents, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against each Guarantor to enforce this Guaranty,
irrespective of whether any action is brought against the Borrower or any other Loan Party or whether the Borrower or any other Loan Party is joined in any such action or actions. The liability of each Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be
irrevocable, absolute and unconditional irrespective of, and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any defenses it may now have or hereafter acquire in any way relating to, any or all of the following (except as shall be required by applicable
law or statute and cannot be waived): 
 (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Loan Document or any agreement or
instrument relating thereto; 
 (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or
any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other obligations of any other Loan Party under or in respect of the Loan Documents, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from any Loan Document, including, without limitation, any
increase in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from the extension of additional credit to any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries or otherwise; 

(c) any taking, exchange, release or non-perfection of any collateral, or any taking,
release or amendment or waiver of, or consent to departure from, any other guaranty, for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations; 

(d) any manner of application of any collateral, or proceeds thereof, to all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any
manner of sale or other disposition of any collateral for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other obligations of any Loan Party under the Loan Documents or any other assets of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries; 

(e) any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate structure or existence of any Loan Party or any of its
Subsidiaries;

 (f) any failure of the Agent or any Lender to disclose to any Loan Party any
information relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties or prospects of any other Loan Party now or hereafter known to the Agent or such Lender (each Guarantor waiving any duty on the part of the
Agent and the Lenders to disclose such information); 
 (g) the failure of any other Person to execute or deliver this
Guaranty, any Guaranty Supplement (as hereinafter defined) or any other guaranty or agreement or the release or reduction of liability of any Guarantor or other guarantor or surety with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations; or 

(h) any other circumstance (including, without limitation, any statute of limitations) or any existence of or reliance on any
representation by the Agent or any Lender that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Loan Party or any other guarantor or surety (other than payment). 

This Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Guaranteed
Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the Agent or any Lender or any other Person upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or any other Loan Party or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been
made.

(a) Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance, presentment,
demand for performance, notice of nonperformance, default, acceleration, protest or dishonor and any other notice with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations and this Guaranty and any requirement that the Agent or any Lender protect, secure,
perfect or insure any Lien or any property subject thereto or exhaust any right or take any action against any Loan Party or any other Person or any collateral. 

(b) Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any right to revoke this Guaranty and acknowledges that this
Guaranty is continuing in nature and applies to all Guaranteed Obligations, whether existing now or in the future. 
 (c)
Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives (i) any defense arising by reason of any claim or defense based upon an election of remedies by the Agent or any Lender that in any manner impairs, reduces, releases or otherwise
adversely affects the subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification rights of such Guarantor or other rights of such Guarantor to proceed against any of the other Loan Parties, any other guarantor or any other Person or
any collateral and (ii) any defense based on any right of set-off or counterclaim against or in respect of the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder.

such Guarantor any matter, fact or thing relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties or prospects of any other Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries now or hereafter known by the Agent or such
Lender.

 Section 5. Subrogation. 

Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees not to exercise any rights that it may now have or hereafter acquire against the
Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other insider guarantor that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of such Guarantor’s obligations under or in respect of this Guaranty, including, without limitation, any right of
subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of the Agent or any Lender against the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other insider guarantor or any collateral,
whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other insider guarantor, directly or
indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim, remedy or right, unless and until all of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other
amounts payable under this Guaranty shall have been paid in full in cash, all Letters of Credit shall have expired or been terminated and the Commitments shall have expired or been terminated. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor in
violation of the immediately preceding sentence at any time prior to the latest of (a) the payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty, (b) the Termination Date and (c) the
latest date of expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit, such amount shall be received and held in trust for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, shall be segregated from other property and funds of such Guarantor and shall forthwith
be paid or delivered to the Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement or assignment) to be credited and applied to the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty, whether matured or
unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, or to be held as collateral for any Guaranteed Obligations or other amounts payable under this Guaranty thereafter arising. Subject to the preceding provision of this Section 5, it
is the intent of the parties that each Guarantor shall have rights of subrogation in respect hereof, and if (i) any Guarantor shall make payment to the Agent of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, (ii) all of the Guaranteed
Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty shall have been paid in full in cash, (iii) the Termination Date shall have occurred and (iv) all Letters of Credit shall have expired or been terminated, the Agent and the

an interest in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from such payment made by such Guarantor pursuant to this Guaranty. 
 Section 6. Payments
Free and Clear of Taxes, Etc. 
 (a) Any and all payments made by any Guarantor under or in respect of this Guaranty
or any other Loan Document shall be made, in accordance with Section 2.13 of the Credit Agreement, free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future Taxes. If any Guarantor shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes
from or in respect of any sum payable under or in respect of this Guaranty or any other Loan Document to the Agent or any Lender, (i) the sum payable by such Guarantor shall be increased as may be necessary so that after such Guarantor and the
Agent have made all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 6), the Agent or such Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made,
(ii) such Guarantor shall make such deductions and (iii) such Guarantor shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law.

account of the Subordinated Obligations.

(c) Turn-Over. After the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default
(including the commencement and continuation of any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law relating to any other Loan Party), each Guarantor shall, if the Agent so requests, collect, enforce and receive payments on account of the Subordinated
Obligations as trustee for the Lenders and deliver such payments to the Agent on account of the Guaranteed Obligations (including all Post Petition Interest), together with any necessary endorsements or other instruments of transfer, but without
reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of such Guarantor under the other provisions of this Guaranty.

jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Guaranty or any other Loan Document shall affect any right that any party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Guaranty or
any other Loan Document in the courts of any jurisdiction.

the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Guaranty or any of the other Loan Documents to which
it is or is to be a party in any New York State or federal court. Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such suit, action or proceeding in any

supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, together with this Guaranty Supplement, being the “Subsidiary Guaranty”). The capitalized terms defined in the Subsidiary Guaranty or in the Credit Agreement and not otherwise

 Section 1. Guaranty; Limitation of Liability. 

(a) The undersigned hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the punctual payment when due, whether at
scheduled maturity or on any date of a required prepayment or by acceleration, demand or otherwise, of all obligations of each other Loan Party now or hereafter existing under or in respect of (x) the Loan Documents, (y) any agreement to

of a Lender at the time that it becomes a party to such agreement (including, without limitation, any extensions, modifications, substitutions, amendments or renewals of any or all of the foregoing obligations), whether direct or indirect, absolute

Guarantor’s liability shall extend to all amounts that constitute part of the Guaranteed Obligations and would be owed by any other Loan Party to the Agent or any Lender under or in respect of the Loan Documents but for the fact that they are
unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving such other Loan Party. 

(b) The undersigned, and by its acceptance of this Guaranty Supplement, the Agent and each Lender, hereby confirms that it is
the intention of all such Persons that this Guaranty Supplement, the Subsidiary Guaranty and the obligations of the undersigned hereunder and thereunder not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform
Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar foreign, federal or state law to the extent applicable to this Guaranty Supplement, the Subsidiary Guaranty and the obligations of the undersigned hereunder and
thereunder. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Agent, the Lenders and the undersigned hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of the undersigned under this Guaranty Supplement and the Subsidiary Guaranty at any time shall be limited to
the maximum amount as will result in the obligations of the undersigned under this Guaranty Supplement and the Subsidiary Guaranty not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance. 

(c) The undersigned hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees that in the event any payment shall be required to be made to
the Agent or any Lender under this Guaranty Supplement, the Subsidiary Guaranty or any other guaranty, the undersigned will contribute, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law and subject to the limitations on liability set forth in
Section 1(b) above, such amounts to each other Guarantor and each other guarantor so as to maximize the aggregate amount paid to the Agent and the Lenders under or in respect of the Loan Documents. 

Section 2. Obligations Under the Guaranty. 

The undersigned hereby agrees, as of the date first above written, to be bound as a Guarantor by all of the terms and conditions of the
Subsidiary Guaranty to the same extent as each of the other Guarantors thereunder. The undersigned further agrees, as of the date first above written, that each reference in the Subsidiary Guaranty to an “Additional Guarantor” or a
“Guarantor” shall also mean and be a reference to the undersigned, and each reference in any other Loan Document to a “Subsidiary Guarantor” or a “Loan Party” shall also mean and be a reference to
the undersigned. 
 Section 3. Representations and Warranties. 

The undersigned hereby makes each representation and warranty set forth in Section 7 of the Subsidiary Guaranty to the same extent as each
other Guarantor.

(e)           If the Company announces a merger, sale or the substantial disposition of its assets to a third-party, The Stilwell Group and each Stilwell Group Member shall be entitled to sell their shares.

4.           Notice of Breach and Remedies.

(a)          The parties expressly agree that an actual or threatened breach of this Agreement by any party will give rise to irreparable injury that cannot adequately be compensated by damages.

(b)         The Stilwell Group and each Stilwell Group Member expressly agree that they will not be excused or claim to be excused from performance under this Agreement as a result of any material breach by Anchor unless and until Anchor is given written notice of such breach and thirty (30) business days either to cure such breach or seek relief in court.  If Anchor seeks relief in court, The Stilwell Group and each Stilwell Group Member irrevocably stipulate that any failure to perform by The Stillwell Group and/or any Stilwell Group Member or any assertion by The Stilwell Group and/or any Stilwell Group Member that they are excused from performing their obligations under this Agreement would cause Anchor irreparable harm, that Anchor shall not be required to provide further proof of irreparable harm in order to obtain equitable relief and that The Stilwell Group and each Stilwell Group Member shall not deny or contest that such circumstances would cause Anchor irreparable harm.  If, after such thirty (30) business day period, Anchor has not either reasonably cured such material breach or obtained relief in court, The Stilwell Group or each Stilwell Group Member may terminate this Agreement by delivery of written notice to Anchor.

If The Stilwell Group or any Stilwell Group Member seeks relief in court, Anchor irrevocably stipulates that any failure to perform by Anchor or any assertion by Anchor that it is excused from performing its obligations under this Agreement would cause The Stilwell Group and each Stilwell Group Member irreparable harm, that The Stilwell Group or any Stilwell Group Member shall not be required to provide further proof of irreparable harm in order to obtain equitable relief and that Anchor shall not deny or contest that such circumstances would cause The Stilwell Group and each Stilwell Group Member irreparable harm.  If, after such thirty (30)

EXHIBIT A

The Stilwell Group currently holds 236,466 shares of Company Common Stock.

  

  

  

EXHIBIT B

NON-DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT

 

THIS NON-DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), is made and entered into as of the date on which it is fully executed, as indicated by signatures below, by and among Anchor Bancorp (the “Company”) and The Stilwell Group (composed of Stilwell Activist Fund, L.P., Stilwell Activist Investments, L.P., Stilwell Partners, L.P., Stilwell Value LLC, and Joseph Stilwell, an individual, and their employees and representatives).

 

WHEREAS, the Company and The Stilwell Group have agreed that it is in their mutual interests to enter into this Agreement as hereinafter described.

 

NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto mutually agree as follows:

 

1. In connection with that certain Standstill Agreement, dated August 29, 2016, by and among the Company and The Stilwell Group, the Company intends to share information concerning the Company and its subsidiaries with The Stilwell Group, including, without limitation, information regarding the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ businesses, operations and strategic options, which may include confidential or proprietary information (collectively the “Confidential Information”) and such Confidential Information may be shared among The Stilwell Group’s affiliates, directors, officers, employees, representatives, and agents (collectively, the “Representatives”) who have a need to know such information and are informed by The Stilwell Group of the confidential nature of such information. The term “Confidential Information” does not include information that (a) is or becomes available to The Stilwell Group or its Representatives on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Company; provided that such source is not known by The Stilwell Group or its Representatives to be bound by a confidentiality agreement with, or other contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation to, the Company that prohibits such disclosure, (b) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by The Stilwell Group or its Representatives in violation of this Agreement, (c) was in The Stilwell Group’s or its Representatives’ possession at the time of disclosure by the Company, or (d) has been or is independently developed by The Stilwell Group or its Representatives without the use of the Confidential Information.  The Stilwell Group expressly agrees to maintain all Confidential Information concerning the Company and its subsidiaries in confidence.

 

2. The Stilwell Group expressly acknowledges that it and its Representatives are aware that the Confidential Information may contain material, non-public information about the Company, and that federal and state securities laws may prohibit a person from purchasing or selling securities of a company, or from communicating such material, non-public information to any other person under circumstances in which it is reasonably foreseeable that such other person is likely to purchase or sell such securities, while the first-mentioned person is in possession of material nonpublic information about such company. The Stilwell Group expressly acknowledges that it shall not, and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that its Representatives, do not, trade or engage in any derivative or other transaction, on the basis of material, non-public information in violation of such laws. To the extent any nonpublic information concerning the Company and its subsidiaries received by The Stilwell Group is material, this Agreement is intended to satisfy the confidentiality agreement exclusion of Regulation FD of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) set forth in Rule 100(b)(2)(ii) of Regulation FD of the SEC.

 

  

  

  

3. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event that The Stilwell Group or its Representatives are required by applicable law, regulation or legal or judicial process (including without limitation, by deposition, interrogatory, request for documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process) to disclose any of the Confidential Information, The Stilwell Group will promptly notify (except where such notice would be legally prohibited) the Company so that the Company may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy (and if the Company seeks such an order, The Stilwell Group will provide such cooperation as the Company shall reasonably request), at its sole cost and expense.  Nothing herein shall be deemed to prevent The Stilwell Group or its Representatives, as the case may be, from honoring a subpoena, legal process or other legal requirement that requires discovery, disclosure or production of the Confidential Information if (a) after notifying and cooperating with the Company as required above, The Stilwell Group produces or discloses only that portion of the Confidential Information which its outside legal counsel advises The Stilwell Group is legally required to be so produced or disclosed and The Stilwell Group informs the recipient of such Confidential Information  of the existence of this Agreement and the confidential nature of such Confidential Information; or (b) the Company consents in writing to having the Confidential Information  produced or disclosed pursuant to the subpoena, legal process or other legal requirement.

 

4. The Stilwell Group represents and warrants to the Company that this Agreement has been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered by The Stilwell Group, and is a valid and binding agreement enforceable against The Stilwell Group in accordance with its terms.

 

5. The Company represents and warrants to The Stilwell Group that this Agreement has been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company, and is a valid and binding agreement enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms.

 

6. The Stilwell Group acknowledges that with regard to its obligations to maintain the confidentiality of nonpublic information of the Company and its subsidiaries, monetary damages may not be a sufficient remedy for any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement and that, in addition to all other remedies, the Company may be entitled to seek specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief as a remedy for such breach, and agrees that in conjunction therewith the Company shall not be required to post any bond.

 

7. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto pertaining to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, understandings, negotiations and discussions of the parties in connection therewith not referred to herein.

 

8. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Washington, without regard to choice of law principles that may otherwise compel the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. Each of the parties hereby irrevocably consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the State of Washington to resolve any dispute arising from this Agreement and waives any defense of inconvenient or improper forum.

 

9. The terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed severable and, in the event any term or provision hereof or portion thereof is deemed or held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, such provision shall be conformed to prevailing law rather than voided, if possible, in order to achieve the intent of the parties, and, in any event, the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless continue and be deemed to be in full force and effect and binding upon the parties.

 

10. All representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made herein shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement.

 

 

  

2

  

11. This Agreement may not be modified, amended, altered or supplemented except upon the execution and delivery of a written agreement executed by all of the parties hereto.

 

12. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by duly authorized officers of the undersigned as of as of the day and year indicated below.
