addition to the foregoing clause (x), if the Borrower notifies the Agent that the Borrower requests an amendment to any provision hereof to eliminate the effect of any change occurring after the Closing Date in GAAP or in the application thereof on
the operation of such provision (or if the Agent notifies the Borrower that the Required Lenders request an amendment to any provision hereof for such purpose), regardless of whether any such notice is given before or after such change in GAAP or in

 ARTICLE 2 
 THE CREDITS 
 Section 2.01. Term Commitments. Subject to and upon the terms
and conditions set forth herein, each Lender severally agrees to make Term Loans to the Borrower in the amount of its Term Commitment, which (i) shall be incurred pursuant to a single Borrowing on the Closing Date, (ii) shall be made and
maintained in dollars and (iii) at the option of the Borrower, shall be incurred and maintained as, and/or converted into, ABR Loans or LIBO Rate Loans. Once repaid, Term Loans incurred hereunder may not be reborrowed. 

Section 2.02. Loans and Borrowings. 
 (a) Each Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Term Commitments. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan required
to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder; provided that the Term Commitments of the Lenders are several and no Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make Loans as required.

 (b) Subject to Section 2.11, each Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of ABR Loans or Eurodollar Loans as the Borrower
may request in accordance herewith. Each Lender at its option may make any Eurodollar Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the
obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 
 (c) At the commencement of each
Interest Period for any Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $25,000,000. At the time that each ABR Borrowing is made, such Borrowing shall be in an
aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $25,000,000. Borrowings of more than one Type may be outstanding at the same time; provided that there shall not at any time be more than a total of ten Eurodollar
Borrowings outstanding. 
 (d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrower shall not be entitled to
request, or to elect to convert or continue, any Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Maturity Date. 
 Section 2.03. Requests for Borrowings. To request a Borrowing, the Borrower shall notify the Agent of such request by telephone (a) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 12:00
noon, New York City time, three Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing or (b) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date of the proposed Borrowing. Each such telephonic Borrowing
Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Agent of a written Borrowing Request in a form approved by the Agent and signed by the Borrower. Each such telephonic and written Borrowing Request
shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02: 
 (i) the aggregate amount of the
requested Borrowing; 
 (ii) the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day; 

(iii) whether such Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing; 

  
 -34-

 (iv) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, the initial Interest Period to
be applicable thereto, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”; and 
 (v) the location and number of the Borrower’s account (or such other account as the Borrower may specify) to which funds are to be disbursed, which shall comply with the requirements of
Section 2.04. 
 If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified, then the requested Borrowing shall be an ABR
Borrowing. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Eurodollar Borrowing, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request
in accordance with this Section, the Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing. 

Section 2.04. Funding of Borrowings. 
 (a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 12:00 noon, New York City time, to the account of the Agent
most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders. The Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of the Borrower maintained with the Agent
in New York City and designated by the Borrower in the Borrowing Request. 
 (b) Unless the Agent shall have received notice
from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in
accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section 2.04 and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing
available to the Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to
the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank
compensation or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans. If such Lender pays such amount to the Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. 

Section 2.05. Interest Elections. 
 (a) Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such
Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this
Section 2.05. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and
the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. 
 (b) To make an election pursuant to this
Section, the Borrower shall notify the Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made
on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall 

  
 -35-

 
be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Agent of a written Interest Election Request in a form approved by the Agent and signed by the Borrower. 

(c) Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

 (i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected
with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting
Borrowing); 
 (ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which
shall be a Business Day; 
 (iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar
Borrowing; and 
 (iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable
thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period.” 
 If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s
duration. 
 (d) Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Agent shall advise each Lender of the details
thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing. 
 (e) If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest
Election Request with respect to a Eurodollar Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to an
ABR Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing
(i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

 Section 2.06. Termination of Term Commitments. The Term Commitment of each Term Lender shall be automatically and
permanently reduced to $0 upon the making of such Term Lender’s Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.01. 
 Section 2.07.
Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Indebtedness. 
 (a) The Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable
account of each Term Lender, in quarterly installments on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first full quarter after the Closing Date, a principal amount in respect of the Term Loans equal to
0.25% of the original principal amount of the Term Loans with the final installment on the Maturity Date equal to the remaining outstanding amount of the Term Loans. 
 (b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such

  
 -36-

 
Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder. 
 (c) The Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Type thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any
principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.

 (d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section shall be prima
facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower
to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 
 Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced
by a Term Note. In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a Term Note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form approved by the
Agent. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such Term Note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 10.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the
payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns). 
 Section
2.08. Prepayment of Loans. 
 (a) Voluntary. The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time
to voluntarily prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part without premium or penalty, subject to clause (c) below, upon notice to the Agent by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not
later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment or (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date of prepayment. In either case, such
notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid. Promptly following receipt of any such notice, the Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof.
Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02. In the case of each prepayment of Loans pursuant to this
Section 2.08(a), the Borrower may in its sole discretion select the Loans (and the order of maturity of principal payments) to be repaid, and such payment shall be paid to the appropriate Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata
Share of such Loans. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.10. 
 (b)
Mandatory. 
 (i) Within ten Business Days following each date on which the Borrower and/or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries receives any proceeds from any incurrence of Indebtedness (excluding any Indebtedness permitted to be incurred pursuant to Section 7.01) or the issuance of any Disqualified Equity Interests, in each case, after the Closing Date, an
amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds therefrom in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.08(b)(iv). 
 (ii)
Within ten Business Days following each date on which the Borrower and/or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries receives Net Cash Proceeds (A) from a disposition of any property or assets in an Asset Sale occurring after the Closing Date or
(B) with respect to any Casualty Event occurring after the 

  
 -37-

 
Closing Date, an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds therefrom shall be applied as a mandatory repayment in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.08(b)(iv). 

(iii) Within 15 days after financial statements have been delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(a) (commencing with Fiscal Year 2012)
and the related compliance certificate has been delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(c), the Borrower shall cause to be prepaid Loans equal to (A) the Applicable ECF Percentage of Excess Cash Flow, if any, for the Fiscal Year covered by such
financial statements minus (B) the aggregate principal amount of all voluntary prepayments of Loans and ABL Loans (in the case of the ABL Loans, only to the extent accompanied by a corresponding permanent reduction to the
“Commitments” as defined in the ABL Facility) during such period, in each case to the extent such prepayments are not funded with proceeds of Indebtedness, shall be applied as a mandatory repayment in accordance with the requirements of
Section 2.08(b)(iv). 
 (iv) Each prepayment of Loans pursuant to this Section 2.08(b) shall be applied pro rata among
the Loans. Each prepayment of any tranche of Loans pursuant to Section 2.08(b) shall be applied to such tranche first, to accrued interest and fees due on the amount of the prepayment of such Loans; second, to the scheduled
installments thereof occurring within the immediately succeeding eight fiscal quarters in the direct order of maturity thereof; and third, to the applicable remaining installments due pursuant to Section 2.07 on a pro rata basis, in each
case, to be allocated among the appropriate Lenders in accordance with such Lenders’ respective Pro Rata Share. 
 (c)
Premium. In the event that, on or prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date, the Borrower (x) makes any prepayment of Loans in connection with any Repricing Transaction, or (y) effects any amendment of this Agreement
resulting in a Repricing Transaction, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of each Lender, (I) in the case of clause (x), a prepayment premium of 1.00% of the principal amount of the Loans being prepaid
and (II) in the case of clause (y), a payment equal to 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the applicable Loans outstanding immediately prior to such amendment. 
 Section 2.09. Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay on the Closing Date to the Agent for the account of each Lender party to this Agreement on the Closing Date, as fee compensation for the funding of
such Lender’s Term Loan, a closing fee (the “Closing Fee”) in an amount equal to 1.00% of such Lender’s Term Loan made on the Closing Date. Such Closing Fee will, to the extent such Lender funds its Term Loan, be in all
respects fully earned, due and payable on the Closing Date and non-refundable and non-creditable thereafter and, in the case of the Term Loans, such Closing Fee shall be netted against Term Loans made by such Lender. 

Section 2.10. Interest. 
 (a) The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate. 
 (b) The Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate. 

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, all amounts outstanding hereunder and not paid when due in accordance with the provisions hereof shall
bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2% per annum plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this
Section 2.10 or (ii) in the case of any other overdue amount (including overdue interest), 2% per annum plus the rate applicable to ABR Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section 2.10. 

  
 -38-

 (d) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date
for such Loan; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section 2.10 shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan, accrued interest on the principal
amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall
be payable on the effective date of such conversion. 
 (e) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of
360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case
shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate, Adjusted LIBO Rate or LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Agent, and such determination shall be
conclusive absent manifest error. 
 Section 2.11. Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any
Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing: 
 (a) the Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive
absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period; or 

(b) the Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such
Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period; 
 then the Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the
circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective and (ii) if any
Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing. 
 Section 2.12.
Increased Costs. 
 (a) If any Change in Law shall: 

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with
or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate); 
 (ii) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender; or 

(iii) impose any additional Tax liability (other than in respect of any Excluded Taxes, any Taxes excluded from Other
Taxes pursuant to the definition thereof, or any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes indemnified under Section 2.14) with respect to any Financing Document or any of its obligations thereunder or any payments to such Lender (or its applicable
lending office) of principal, interest, fees or any other amount payable thereunder; 

  
 -39-

 and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining
any Eurodollar Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise),
then the Borrower will pay to such Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. 

(b) If any Lender determines that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of
return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by such Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company
could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such
Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. 
 (c) A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this
Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 30 days after receipt thereof. 

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.12 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 2.12 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the
date that such Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further, that, if the
Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. 

Section 2.13. Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than on
the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to
borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurodollar Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.08(a) and is revoked in accordance therewith), or
(d) the assignment of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.16, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each
Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the
amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the
then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal
amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the Eurodollar market. A certificate of any Lender
setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent 

  
 -40-

 
manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 30 days after receipt thereof. 

Section 2.14. Taxes. 
 (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Credit Party under any Financing Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes;
provided that if any Credit Party or other applicable withholding agent shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable by the applicable Credit Party shall be increased as
necessary so that after all required deductions have been made (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.14) the Agent or Lender (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have
received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the applicable withholding agent shall make such deductions and (iii) the applicable withholding agent shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance
with applicable law. 
 (b) The Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with
applicable law. 
 (c) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender (each, a “Tax
Indemnitee”), within 10 days after written demand therefor, for any Indemnified Taxes imposed on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of any Credit Party under any Financing Document and for any Other Taxes
payable by such Administrative Agent or Lender, as applicable (including any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed on or with respect to any amounts payable under this Section 2.14) and, in each case, any reasonable expenses arising
therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to
the Borrower by a Lender or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error. In the event that a Credit Party pays additional amounts under Section 2.14(a) or makes an
indemnification payment pursuant to this Section 2.14(c) to a Tax Indemnitee with respect to Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, such Tax Indemnitee shall reasonably cooperate with all reasonable requests of such Credit Party to pursue a refund
of the Indemnified Tax or Other Tax at issue, at the sole expense of such Credit Party, if (i) in the reasonable judgment of the Tax Indemnitee such cooperation shall not subject such Tax Indemnitee to any unreimbursed third party cost or
expense or otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Tax Indemnitee and (ii) based on advice of such Credit Party’s independent accountants or external legal counsel, there is a reasonable basis for such Credit Party to contest with
the applicable Governmental Authority the imposition of such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes. Any resulting refund shall be governed by Section 2.14(f). This Section 2.14(c) shall not be construed to require a Tax Indemnitee to make
available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to any Credit Party or any other Person. 
 (d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes by any Credit Party to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy
of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 

(e) Each Lender shall, at such times as are reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, provide the Borrower and
the Administrative Agent with any documentation prescribed by laws or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent certifying as to any entitlement of such Lender to an exemption from, or reduction in, any withholding Tax with
respect to 

  
 -41-

 
any payments to be made to such Lender under any Financing Document. Each such Lender shall, whenever a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders such documentation (including any specific
documentation required below in this Section 2.14(c)) obsolete, expired or inaccurate in any material respect, deliver promptly to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent updated or other appropriate documentation (including any new
documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of its inability to do so. 
 Without limiting the foregoing: 
 (A) Each U.S. Lender shall
deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement two properly completed and duly signed original copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal
backup withholding. 
 (B) Each Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or
before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) whichever of the following is applicable: 

(1) two properly completed and duly signed original copies of IRS Form W-8BEN (or any successor forms) claiming
eligibility for the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party and such other documentation as required under the Code, 
 (2) two properly completed and duly signed original copies of IRS Form W-8ECI (or any successor forms), 
 (3) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 871(h) or Section 881(c) of the Code, (A) two properly completed and duly
signed certificates substantially in the form of Exhibit K (any such certificate, a “United States Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (B) two properly completed and duly signed original copies of IRS Form W-8BEN (or any successor
forms). 
 (4) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner (for example, where the Foreign Lender
is a partnership or a participating Lender), IRS Form W-8IMY (or any successor forms) of the Foreign Lender, accompanied by a Form W-8ECI, W-8BEN, United States Tax Compliance Certificate, Form W-9, Form W-8IMY or any other required information (or
any successor forms) from each beneficial owner that would be required under this Section 2.14(e) if such beneficial owner were a Lender, as applicable (provided that, if one or more beneficial owners are claiming the portfolio interest
exemption, the United States Tax Compliance Certificate may be provided by such Foreign Lender on behalf of such beneficial owner), or 
 (5) two properly completed and duly signed original copies of any other form prescribed by applicable U.S. federal income tax laws (including the Treasury Regulations) as a basis for claiming a complete
exemption from, or a reduction in, any United States federal withholding tax on any payments to such Lender under any Financing Document. 
 (C) If a payment made to a Lender under any Financing Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code (or any
Trea-

  
 -42-

 
sury regulations or published administrative guidance interpreting the foregoing) if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of those Sections (including
those contained in Sections 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or the
Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be
necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code (or any Treasury regulations or published administrative guidance interpreting the foregoing), and to determine
whether such Lender has or has not complied with such Lender’s obligations under such Sections and, if necessary, to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. 

Notwithstanding any other provision of this clause (e), a Lender shall not be required to deliver any form that such Lender is not
legally eligible to deliver. 
 (f) If the Administrative Agent or a Lender has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes as to
which it has been indemnified by any Credit Party or with respect to which any Credit Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.14, it shall pay over such refund to the Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments
made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 2.14 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender (including any Taxes) and
without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over
to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such
Governmental Authority. This Section shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other
Person. 
 Section 2.15. Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs. 

(a) The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees, or of amounts payable
under Sections 2.12, 2.13 or 2.14, or otherwise) prior to 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion
of the Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Agent at its offices at 383 Madison Avenue, New York, New York 10179, except that
payments pursuant to Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.14 and 10.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly
following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon
shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in dollars. 
 (b) If at any time
insufficient funds are received by and available to the Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (subject, in the event that an Enforcement Notice is in effect, to the provisions
of the Security Agreement) (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second,
towards payment 

  
 -43-

 
of principal then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties. 

(c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of
or interest on any of its Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such
greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount
of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and
the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of
this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which
the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may
exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. 

(d) Unless the Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Agent for the
account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the
amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender with interest thereon, for each day from and
including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank
compensation. 
 (e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Sections 2.04(b),
2.15(d), or 10.03 then the Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections
until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid. 
 Section 2.16. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

 (a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.12, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount
to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.14, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign
its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.12 or 2.14, as
the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by
any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. 
 (b) If any Lender requests compensation under
Section 2.12, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender 

  
 -44-

 
pursuant to Section 2.14, or if any Lender defaults in its obligation to fund Loans hereunder, 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 Section 10.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume
such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or
delayed, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such
outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.12 or payments required to be made
pursuant to Section 2.14, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or
otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. 
 Section 2.17.
Release of Security Interest in Assets Being Sold. The Agent shall release specific assets (but not all or substantially all the Collateral) from the Security Interests pursuant to Section 25 of the Security Agreement if: 

(a) the Agent shall have received a written request for such release signed by any Executive Officer or a Financial
Officer stating that (x) the assets to be released are being sold or otherwise transferred and (y) the sale or transfer thereof does not violate Section 7.03(c) hereof; 

(b) arrangements (which shall be satisfactory to the Agent) have been made so that such release will become effective no
earlier than the closing of such sale or transfer; and 
 (c) no Default or Enforcement Notice is in effect when
such instructions are given; 
 provided that any such release shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral
Agent. 
 Section 2.18. Incremental Term Loans. 
 (a) The Borrower may at any time or from time to time, by notice to the Administrative Agent (whereupon the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the Lenders), request one or more
additional tranches of term loans (the “Incremental Term Loans”) in accordance with this Section 2.18. 

(b) Each tranche of Incremental Term Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of not less than $25,000,000 (provided that
such amount may be less if such amount represents all remaining availability under the limit set forth in the next sentence). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the aggregate amount of all Incremental Term Loans shall not exceed an
amount equal to (x) $200,000,000 minus (y) the aggregate amount of commitment increases made pursuant to Section 2.20 of the ABL Facility. In addition, (i) each tranche of the Incremental Term Loans shall rank pari passu in right
of payment and have the equal benefit of Guarantees and Collateral with the Term Loans, (ii) such tranche of the Incremental Term Loans shall not have a final maturity date earlier than the Maturity Date and its Weighted Average Life to
Maturity shall not be shorter than the then remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Term Loans, (iii) at the time of and immediately after giving effect to the incurrence of such Incremental Term Loans, no Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, (iv) the representations and warranties of each Credit Party set forth in the Financing Documents shall be 

  
 -45-

 
true and correct in all material respects on the date of incurrence of such Incremental Term Loans (it being understood that, to the extent that any such representation and warranty specifically
refers to an earlier date, it shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date and any such representation and warranty that is qualified as to “materiality,” “material adverse effect” or similar
language shall be true and correct in all respects (after giving effect to any such qualification therein)) on and as of the date of such Borrowing of Incremental Term Loans, (v) at the time of incurrence of any Incremental Term Loan and
immediately after giving effect thereto, (A) the Borrower shall be in compliance with the financial covenants set forth in Article 6 hereof on a Pro Forma Basis and (B) the Borrower’s Senior Secured Leverage Ratio shall be equal to or
less than 2.50:1.00 on a Pro Forma Basis, (vi) the interest rate margins and, subject to clause (B) in the proviso, the amortization schedule for any Incremental Term Loans shall be determined by the Borrower and the lenders of such
Incremental Term Loans and (vii) except as set forth in clauses (ii) and (vi) above, to the extent the terms and conditions applicable to any tranche of Incremental Term Loans are inconsistent from those of the Term Loans, such
differences shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and set forth in the applicable Incremental Amendment; provided that, (A) in the event that the interest rate margins applicable to any Incremental Term Loans are more
than 50 basis points greater than the then Applicable Rate for the Term Loans, the then Applicable Rate for the Term Loans shall be increased to the extent necessary so that the interest rate margins for the Incremental Term Loans are no more than
50 basis points greater than the then Applicable Rate for the Term Loans (provided that in determining the Applicable Rate applicable to the Term Loans and the interest rate margins applicable to the Incremental Term Loans, (x) original
issue discount (“OID”) or upfront fees (which shall be deemed to constitute like amounts of OID) payable by the Borrower to the Lenders of the Term Loans or lenders of the Incremental Term Loans in the primary syndication thereof
shall be included (with OID being equated to interest based on an assumed four (4)-year life to maturity), (y) customary arrangement or commitment fees payable to the Joint Lead Arrangers (or their affiliates) in connection with the Term Loans
or to one or more arrangers (or their affiliates) of the Incremental Term Loans shall be excluded and (z) if the LIBO Rate floor applicable to the Incremental Term Loans is higher than the LIBO Rate floor applicable to the Term Loans, the
amount of such difference shall be deemed to be an increase to the Applicable Rate for the Incremental Term Loans for the purposes of determining compliance with this clause (A); and (B) the amortization schedule applicable to any tranche of
Incremental Term Loans shall be determined by the Borrower and the lenders thereof, in each case so long as the Weighted Average Life to Maturity for any tranche of Incremental Term Loans shall not be shorter than the then remaining Weighted Average
Life to Maturity of the Term Loans. Each notice from the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.18(b) shall set forth the requested amount and proposed terms of the relevant Incremental Term Loans. 

(c) Incremental Term Loans may be made, by any existing Lender (and each existing Term Lender shall have the right, but not an
obligation, to make a portion of any Incremental Term Loan, on terms permitted in this Section 2.18 and otherwise on terms reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent) or by any other bank or other financial institution (any such other
bank or other financial institution, an “Additional Lender”); provided that the Administrative Agent shall have consented (not to be unreasonably withheld) to such Lender’s or Additional Lender’s making such
Incremental Term Loans if such consent would be required under Section 10.04(b) for an assignment of Loans as applicable, to such Lender or Additional Lender. 
 (d) Commitments in respect of Incremental Term Loans shall become Term Commitments under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental Amendment,” and the date of effectiveness
of such Incremental Amendment, an “Incremental Facility Closing Date”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Facility Documents, executed by the Borrower, each Lender agreeing to provide such Term Commitment, if any, each
Additional Lender, if any, and the Administrative Agent. The Incremental Amendment may, without the consent of any other Agents or Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Facility Documents as may be necessary or appropriate,
in 

  
 -46-

 
the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.18. The Borrower may use the proceeds of the Incremental Term Loans for any
purpose not prohibited by this Agreement. 
 (e) This Section 2.18 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.15 or
10.02 to the contrary. 
 Section 2.19. Refinancing Amendments; Maturity Extension. 

(a) At any time after the Closing Date, the Borrower may obtain, from any Lender or any Approved Fund, Credit Agreement Refinancing
Indebtedness in respect of all or any portion of the Term Loans then outstanding under this Agreement (which for purposes of this clause (a) will be deemed to include any then outstanding Other Term Loans) in the form of Other Term Loans
pursuant to a Refinancing Amendment; provided that such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness (i) will rank pari passu in right of payment and of security with the other Loans hereunder, (ii) will have such pricing and optional
prepayment terms as may be agreed by the Borrower and the lenders thereof, (iii) will have a maturity date that is not prior to the maturity date of, and will have a Weighted Average Life to Maturity that is not shorter than, the Term Loans
being refinanced, (iv) will have terms and conditions that are substantially identical to, or less favorable to the investors providing such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness than, the Refinanced Debt and (v) the proceeds of such
Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness shall be applied, substantially concurrently with the incurrence thereof, to the prepayment of outstanding Term Loans being so refinanced; provided, further, that the terms and conditions
applicable to such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness may provide for any additional or different financial or other covenants or other provisions that are agreed between the Borrower and the Lenders thereof and applicable only during periods
after the Latest Maturity Date that is in effect on the date such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness is issued, incurred or obtained. The effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment shall be subject to (x) at the time of and immediately
after giving effect to such Refinancing Amendment, no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and (y) the representations and warranties of each Credit Party set forth in the Financing Documents shall be true and correct in all
material respects on the date of incurrence of such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness (it being understood that, to the extent that any such representation and warranty specifically refers to an earlier date, it shall be true and correct in
all material respects as of such earlier date and any such representation and warranty that is qualified as to “materiality,” “material adverse effect” or similar language shall be true and correct in all respects (after giving
effect to any such qualification therein)) on and as of the date of such Refinancing Amendment and, to the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, receipt by the Administrative Agent of legal opinions, board resolutions,
officers’ certificates and/or reaffirmation agreements consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date under Section 4.01 (other than changes to such legal opinions resulting from a change in law, change in fact or change to
counsel’s form of opinion reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent). Each tranche of Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness incurred under this Section 2.19 shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than
$25,000,000 and an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Refinancing Amendment. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the
effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness incurred pursuant thereto
(including any amendments necessary to treat the Loans subject thereto as Other Term Loans). Any Refinancing Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Facility Documents as may be
necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.19. 

  
 -47-

 (b) At any time after the Closing Date, the Borrower and any Lender may agree, by notice to
the Administrative Agent (each such notice, an “Extension Notice”), to extend the maturity date of any of such Lender’s Term Loans to the extended maturity date specified in such Extension Notice. 

(c) This Section 2.19 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.15 or Section 10.02 to the contrary. 

ARTICLE 3 

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES 
 The Borrower represents and warrants to the Lenders that: 
 Section 3.01.
Corporate Existence and Power. The Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor (a) is a corporation, limited liability company or partnership duly incorporated or organized and validly existing under the laws of its jurisdiction of
incorporation or organization, (b) is in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or organization and (c) has all corporate or other powers and all material Governmental Approvals (including without limitation
those required by Medicaid Regulations and Medicare Regulations) required to carry on its business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted, except for such Governmental Approvals the failure of which to have, in the aggregate, could not be
reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor is in compliance with its Organizational Documents. 
 Section 3.02. Corporate and Governmental Authorization; No Contravention. The execution and delivery by the Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor of the Financing Documents to which it is a party,
its performance of its obligations thereunder and, with respect to the Borrower, its Borrowings hereunder, are within its corporate or other powers, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other action, require no action by or in
respect of, or filing with, any governmental body, agency or official (other than filings necessary to perfect the Liens created by the Collateral Documents) and do not contravene, or constitute a default under, any Applicable Laws or any provision
of its Organizational Documents, or of any agreement or other instrument binding upon it or result in or require the imposition of any Lien (other than the Liens created by the Collateral Documents) on any of its assets. 

Section 3.03. Binding Effect. This Agreement constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the Borrower, and the other Financing
Documents, when executed and delivered as contemplated by this Agreement, will constitute valid and binding obligations of each Credit Party that is a party thereto, in each case enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as limited by general
principles of equity and by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally. 
 Section 3.04. Security Interests. Subject to Section 5.14 hereof, on the Closing Date, the Collateral Documents will create valid Security Interests in the Collateral to the extent set forth
therein. Subject to the post-closing obligations contained in Section 5.14 hereof, at all times after the Closing, the Collateral Documents will create valid and, when (i) financing statements and Mortgages are filed in the offices
specified in the Perfection Certificate (as defined in the Security Agreement) or, in the case of Mortgages, in the applicable offices, and delivered pursuant to the Security Agreement or (ii) upon the taking of possession or control by the
Collateral Agent of the Collateral with respect to which a security interest may be perfected only by possession or control under the UCC (which possession or control shall be given to the Collateral Agent to the extent possession or control by the
Collateral Agent is required by the Collateral Documents and this Agreement), perfected Security Interests under the law in which the real property is located and with respect to all other collateral under the law of the State of New York in

  
 -48-

 
the Collateral from time to time covered or purportedly covered thereby to the extent that a security interest in such Collateral may be perfected by filing (in the case of sub-clause (i)),
control or possession (in the case of sub-clause (ii)) under the UCC. Subject to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, such Security Interests will be prior to all other Liens (except Permitted Liens) on such Collateral until the applicable Security
Interest is released without recourse or warranty pursuant to Section 25 of the Security Agreement. 
 Section 3.05.
Financial Information. 
 (a) The consolidated balance sheet of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries as of
December 31, 2010 and the related consolidated statements of operations, cash flows and shareholders’ equity for the Fiscal Year then ended, reported on by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, fairly present in all material respects, in conformity
with GAAP, the consolidated financial position of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries as of such date and their consolidated results of operations and cash flows for such Fiscal Year. 

(b) The consolidated balance sheet of RehabCare and its Consolidated Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2010 and the related
consolidated statements of operations, cash flows and shareholders’ equity for the Fiscal Year then ended, reported on by KPMG LLP, fairly present in all material respects, in conformity with GAAP, the consolidated financial position of
RehabCare and its Consolidated Subsidiaries as of such date and their consolidated results of operations and cash flows for such Fiscal Year. 
 (c) The consolidated balance sheet of RehabCare and its Consolidated Subsidiaries as of the most recent Fiscal Quarter ending prior to the 45th day prior to the Closing Date and the related consolidated

GAAP, the consolidated financial position of the RehabCare and its Consolidated Subsidiaries as of such date and their consolidated results of operations and cash flows for such periods. 

(d) The consolidated balance sheet of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries as of the most recent Fiscal Quarter ending prior to
the 45th day prior to the Closing Date and the related consolidated statements of operations, cash flows and shareholders’ equity for the Fiscal Quarter then ended and for the portion of the Fiscal Year then ended, certified by a Financial
Officer, fairly present in all material respects, in conformity with GAAP, the consolidated financial position of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries as of such date and their consolidated results of operations and cash flows for such
periods. 
 (e) The Borrower has heretofore delivered to the Lenders the Borrower’s unaudited pro forma consolidated
balance sheet dated as of December 31, 2010 and as of the last day and for the most recent Fiscal Quarter ending prior to the 45th day prior to the Closing Date and unaudited pro forma statement of income for the four fiscal quarters ended
December 31, 2010 and ended as of and for the most recent Fiscal Quarter ending prior to the 45th day prior to the Closing Date, in each case adjusted to give effect to the consummation of the Transactions as if the Transactions, with respect
to the pro forma balance sheet, had occurred on the last day of the most recently completed Fiscal Year or with respect to the pro forma statements of income, had occurred on the first day of the most recently completed Fiscal Year, prepared in
accordance with Regulation S-X of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (subject to exceptions customary for an offering under Rule 144A) (the “Pro Forma Financial Statements”). Such Pro Forma Financial Statements have been
prepared in good faith by the Credit Parties, (i) based on the assumptions stated therein (which assumptions are believed by the Credit Parties on the Closing Date to be reasonable at the time delivered), and on the information reasonably
available to the Credit Parties as of 

  
 -49-

 
the date of delivery thereof and (ii) present fairly in all material respects the pro forma consolidated financial position and results of operations of Parent Guarantor as of such date and
for such periods, assuming that the Transactions had occurred at such dates. 
 (f) Since December 31, 2010, no event has
occurred and no condition has come into existence which (i) has had a Material Adverse Effect (other than any such event or condition the Material Adverse Effect of which has ceased) or (ii) is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse
Effect. 
 Section 3.06. Litigation. There is no action, suit or proceeding pending against, or to the knowledge of the
Borrower threatened against or affecting, the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor before any court or arbitrator or any governmental body, agency or official (i) in which there is a reasonable possibility of an adverse decision that would
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) which in any manner questions the validity of any Financing Document. 
 Section 3.07. Compliance with ERISA. Each member of the ERISA Group has fulfilled its obligations under the minimum funding standards of ERISA and the Code with respect to each Plan and is in
compliance in all material respects with the presently applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code with respect to each Plan. No member of the ERISA Group has (i) sought a waiver of the minimum funding standard under Section 412 of the
Code in respect of any Plan, (ii) failed to make any contribution or payment to any Plan or Multiemployer Plan or made any amendment to any Plan, which has resulted or could result in the imposition of a Lien or the posting of a bond or other
security under ERISA or the Code or (iii) incurred any liability under Title IV of ERISA other than a liability to the PBGC for premiums under Section 4007 of ERISA. 
 Section 3.08. Taxes. Each Credit Party has filed all material Tax returns that are required to be filed by it (taking into account valid extensions) and has paid prior to delinquency all material
Taxes due and payable by it (including in its capacity as withholding agent), except such Taxes, if any, as are being contested in good faith (if adequate reserves for such Taxes have been provided in accordance with GAAP). The charges, accruals and
reserves on the books of the Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors in respect of Taxes are, in the aggregate, adequate in all material respects. 
 Section 3.09. Compliance with Laws. The Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors are in compliance in all material respects with all Applicable Laws (including without limitation Medicaid Regulations
and Medicare Regulations), other than such laws, rules or regulations (i) the validity or applicability of which the Borrower or the relevant Subsidiary Guarantor is contesting in good faith or (ii) the failure to comply with which could
not, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 Section 3.10. No Regulatory Restrictions
on Borrowing. Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary Guarantor is (i) an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or (ii) otherwise subject to any regulatory scheme which
restricts its ability to incur Indebtedness hereunder. 
 Section 3.11. Environmental Matters. 

(a) From time to time, the Borrower reviews the effect of Environmental Laws on the business, operations and properties of the Borrower
and the Subsidiary Guarantors, in the course of which reviews it identifies and evaluates associated liabilities and costs, including Environmental Liabilities. On the basis of such reviews, the Borrower has reasonably concluded that the foregoing
associated liabilities and costs are unlikely to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

  
 -50-

 (b) Except to the extent that the Environmental Liabilities of the Borrower and the
Subsidiary Guarantors that relate to or could result from the matters referred to in this Section 3.11(b) would not exceed $2,000,000 for any one occurrence, or $10,000,000 for any occurrences in the aggregate, the Borrower and the Subsidiary
Guarantors and their respective operations and properties are in compliance with applicable Environmental Laws, and no notice, notification, demand, request for information, citation, summons, complaint or order with respect to Hazardous Materials
or any violation of or liability under Environmental Laws is in existence or, to the knowledge of the Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors, proposed, threatened or anticipated with respect to or in connection with the business or operations now or
formerly conducted or to be conducted by, or in connection with any properties now or to the knowledge of the Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors, formerly owned, leased or operated by, the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor, and there are no
facts, circumstances or events which could reasonably be expected to result in any such notice, notification, demand, request for information, citation, summons, complaint or order. 

Section 3.12. Full Disclosure. The information (other than projections) heretofore furnished in writing by the Borrower or any
Subsidiary Guarantor to the Agent or any Lender, taken as a whole, for purposes of or in connection with this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby did not at the time furnished, and all such information hereafter furnished in writing by
the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor to the Agent or Lender, taken as a whole, will not at the time furnished, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein,
in light of the circumstances under which they were or will be made, not misleading. Although any projections (and the underlying assumptions) by necessity involve uncertainties and approximations, the Borrower believes as of the Closing Date that
the projections set forth in the Information Memorandum are reasonable (and the significant assumptions upon which they are based are stated in summary form therein), and such projections provide reasonable estimations of the future performance of
the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries, subject, as stated above, to the uncertainties and approximations inherent in any projections. The Borrower has disclosed to the Lenders in writing (including by way of reports filed in accordance with
Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act) any and all facts which are known to it and which have had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 Section 3.13. Information as to Equity Interest and Instruments. Schedule 1.01B hereto sets forth a correct and complete list, as of the close of business on the Closing Date, of each Subsidiary of
the Borrower, its outstanding Equity Interests, each owner thereof and the percentage thereof owned by such owner. As of the close of business on the Closing Date, neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries owns any interest in any Subsidiary
which is not a Restricted Subsidiary (except as set forth in Schedule 1.01B). Except as set forth on Schedule 3.13 hereto, no Indebtedness in an amount exceeding $5,000,000 owed to the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary is evidenced by any
instrument (as such term is defined in the UCC) that is not held in a Collateral Account or pledged to the Agent as part of the Collateral. 
 Section 3.14. Representations in Other Financing Documents. The representations of each Lien Grantor in the Security Agreement and in each Security Agreement Supplement (if any) signed by it are
true. 
 Section 3.15. Margin Stock. 
 (a) Margin Stock will not at any time represent more than 25% of the value (as determined by any reasonable method) of the assets subject to any provision of the Financing Documents that restricts the
right or ability of the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of Margin Stock owned by them or requires a prepayment of Loans upon the exercise of any such right. 

  
 -51-

 (b) No part of the proceeds of any Loan will be used for any purpose that entails a
violation of the provisions Regulation U, Regulation X or, assuming that no broker-dealer or other “creditor” (as defined in Regulation T) extends or maintains credit under this Agreement, Regulation T. 

Section 3.16. Properties. 
 (a) The Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor has good title to, or valid leasehold interests in, all real and personal property material to its business (including all its property subject to the
Mortgages), except for Permitted Liens and defects that in the aggregate could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (b) The Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor owns, or is licensed to use, all trademarks, tradenames, copyrights, patents and other intellectual property material to its business, and the use thereof by
the Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors does not infringe upon the rights of any other Person, except for infringements that, in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

(c) Schedule 3.16 sets forth a brief description of each Owned Real Property that is owned by the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor as

 (d) As of the Closing Date, neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary Guarantor has received notice of, or
has knowledge of, any pending or contemplated condemnation proceeding or Casualty Event affecting any property subject to a Mortgage or any sale or disposition thereof in lieu of condemnation. No property subject to a Mortgage nor any interest
therein is subject to any right of first refusal, option or other contractual right to purchase such property or interest therein, other than Permitted Liens. 
 (e) No Mortgage encumbers improved Owned Real Property that is located in an area that has been identified by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development as an area having special flood hazards within
the meaning of the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 unless flood insurance available under such Act has been obtained in accordance with Section 5.03(b). 
 Section 3.17. Existing Indebtedness. As of the Closing Date, the Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors will have no funded Indebtedness outstanding other than (i) Indebtedness evidenced by
this Agreement, (ii) Indebtedness under the Senior Notes in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $550,000,000, (iii) Indebtedness under the ABL Facility in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $650,000,000,

Indebtedness set forth on Schedule 7.01 hereto in an aggregate principal amount not exceeding $10,000,000. 
 Section 3.18.
Solvency. Immediately after the Transactions to occur on the Closing Date are consummated and after giving effect to the application of the proceeds of each Loan made on the Closing Date, (a) the fair value of the assets of the Borrower,
and the fair value of the assets of the Restricted Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, at a fair valuation, will exceed the debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise of the Borrower, and of the Restricted Subsidiaries on a
consolidated basis, respectively; (b) the present fair saleable value of the property of the Borrower, and the present fair saleable value of the property of the Restricted Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, will exceed the amount that will
be required to pay the probable liability of the debts and other liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and other liabilities become absolute and matured, of the Borrower, and of the Restricted Subsidiaries on a
consolidated basis, respectively; (c) the Borrower, and the Restricted Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, will be able to pay their respective debts and liabilities, subordinated, con-

  
 -52-

 
tingent or otherwise, as such debts and liabilities become absolute and matured; and (d) neither the Borrower, nor the Restricted Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, will have unreasonably
small capital with which to conduct the business in which they are engaged as such business is now conducted and proposed to be conducted after the Closing Date. 
 Section 3.19. Labor Relations. As of the Closing Date, except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (a) there is no
collective bargaining agreement or other labor contract covering employees of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, (b) no such collective bargaining agreement or other labor contract is scheduled to expire during the term of this Agreement,
(c) to the best of the Borrower’s knowledge, no union or other labor organization is seeking to organize, or to be recognized as, a collective bargaining unit of employees of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or for any similar
purpose, (d) there is no pending or (to the best of the Borrower’s knowledge) threatened, strike or work stoppage and (e) there is no pending or (to the best of the Borrower’s knowledge) threatened unfair labor practice claim, or
other labor dispute against or affecting the Borrower or its Subsidiaries or their employees. 
 Section 3.20. No Defaults
Under Agreements. None of Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary is in default under any provision of any agreement or instrument to which it is a party, and no condition exists which, with the giving of notice or the lapse of time or both, would
constitute such a default, other than in each case as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 Section 3.21. Existing Liens. As of the Closing Date, the Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors will have no Liens existing on any Collateral then owned by them other than (i) Liens evidenced
by this Agreement, (ii) Permitted Liens, including the Liens set forth on Schedule 7.02 hereto and (iii) Liens in respect of Indebtedness outstanding under the ABL Facility.

and “Designated Senior Debt” (or any comparable term), in each case under, and as defined in, any documentation governing any Subordinated Indebtedness. 
 Section 3.23. Anti-Terrorism Laws. No Credit Party, none of its Subsidiaries and, to the knowledge of each Credit Party, none of its Affiliates and none of the respective officers, directors,
brokers or agents of such Credit Party, such Subsidiary or such Affiliate acting or benefiting in any capacity in connection with the Loans deals in, or otherwise engages in any transaction related to, any property or interests in property blocked
pursuant to any Anti-Terrorism Law or engages in or conspires to engage in any transaction that evades or avoids, or has the purpose of evading or avoiding, or attempts to violate, any of the prohibitions set forth in any Anti-Terrorism Law.

licenses and franchises necessary or desirable in the normal conduct of business; provided that nothing in this Section shall prohibit (a) any transaction permitted by Section 7.03(a), (b) the loss of any rights, privileges,

Guarantor, as the case may be, complies with the requirements of the Security Agreement in connection with such name change. 

Section 5.06. Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries. 

(a) The Borrower may designate any Subsidiary (other than any Subsidiary that is an obligor with respect to any Indebtedness incurred
pursuant to Section 7.01(a)(xiii) or 7.01(a)(xiv)), including a newly acquired or created Subsidiary, to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary if the sum of (i) the total assets of such Subsidiary (or, if any such Subsidiary itself has
Subsidiaries, the consolidated total assets of such Subsidiary and its Consolidated Subsidiaries) and the total assets of every other Unrestricted Subsidiary (other than Cornerstone, the Specified Joint Ventures and the Excluded Partnerships), in
each case determined as of the date of the Most Recent Financial Statements and (ii) the amount of any Investments made in the Specified Joint Ventures after the Closing Date (determined as of the date of such designation in accordance with the
definition of “Investment”), does not exceed 5% of the Consolidated Total Assets of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries, the designation would not cause a Default and on a Pro Forma Basis, after giving effect to such
designation, the Borrower shall be in compliance with the covenants set forth in Article 6 hereof; provided that: 
 (i) such Subsidiary does not own any capital stock of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary; 
 (ii) such Subsidiary does not hold any Indebtedness of, or any Lien on any property of, the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary, in each case except to the extent permitted by Section 7.01 or 7.02,
respectively; 
 (iii) at the time of designation, the designation would be permitted under Section 7.08;

 (iv) to the extent the Indebtedness of the Subsidiary is not Non-Recourse Debt, any Guarantee or other credit
support thereof by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary is permitted under Sections 7.01 and 7.08; 

  
 -61-

 (v) the Subsidiary is not party to any transaction or arrangement with the
Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary that would not be permitted under Section 7.04; and 
 (vi) neither
the Borrower nor any Restricted Subsidiary has any obligation to subscribe for additional Equity Interests of the Subsidiary or to maintain or preserve its financial condition or cause it to achieve specified levels of operating results except to
the extent permitted by Sections 7.01 and 7.08. 
 Once so designated the Subsidiary will remain an Unrestricted Subsidiary, subject to
paragraph (b). 
 (b) (i) If as of the date of the Most Recent Financial Statements, the conditions specified in paragraph
(a) are not satisfied, the Borrower shall immediately designate one or more Unrestricted Subsidiaries as Restricted Subsidiaries to the extent required to ensure that the conditions specified in paragraph (a) would have been satisfied as
of the date of the Most Recent Financial Statements, subject to the consequences set forth in paragraph (d). 
 (ii) The
Borrower may designate an Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary if the designation would not cause a Default. 

(c) Upon a Restricted Subsidiary becoming an Unrestricted Subsidiary, 

(i) all existing Investments of the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries therein (valued at the Borrower’s
proportional share of the fair market value of its assets less liabilities) will be deemed made at that time; 

(ii) all existing capital stock or Indebtedness of the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary held by it will be deemed
incurred at that time, and all Liens on property of the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary held by it will be deemed incurred at that time; 
 (iii) all existing transactions between it and the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary will be deemed entered into at that time; 

(iv) it is released at that time from the Security Agreement; and 

(v) it will cease to be subject to the provisions of this Agreement as a Restricted Subsidiary. 

(d) Upon an Unrestricted Subsidiary becoming a Restricted Subsidiary, 

(i) all of its Indebtedness will be deemed incurred at that time for purposes of Section 7.01, but will not be
considered the sale or issuance of Equity Interests for purposes of Section 7.03(c) or 7.06; 
 (ii)
Investments therein previously charged under Section 7.08 will be credited thereunder; 
 (iii) it must
issue a Guarantee of the Loans pursuant to Section 5.08 and execute a Security Agreement Supplement pursuant to Section 5.09; and 
 (iv) it will thenceforward be subject to the provisions of this Agreement as a Restricted Subsidiary. 

  
 -62-

 (e) Any designation by the Borrower of a Subsidiary of the Borrower as a Restricted
Subsidiary or Unrestricted Subsidiary will be evidenced to the Agent by promptly filing with the Agent a certificate of an Executive Officer and a Financial Officer certifying that the designation complied with the foregoing provisions. 

Section 5.07. Books and Records; Inspection Rights. The Borrower will, and will cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, keep
proper books of record and account in which full, true and correct entries are made of all dealings and transactions in relation to its business and activities. The Borrower will, and will cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, permit any
representatives designated by the Agent or any Lender, upon reasonable prior notice, to visit and inspect its properties, to examine and make extracts from its books and records, and to discuss its affairs, finances and condition with such officers
designated for such purposes by a Financial Officer, such other officers as may be reasonably designated for such purposes by the Agent and independent accountants, all at such reasonable times and as often as reasonably requested. 

Section 5.08. Guarantees by Future Restricted Subsidiaries. Within 30 Business Days after any Person (other than an Excluded
Subsidiary) becomes or is deemed to have become a Restricted Subsidiary or ceases to be an Excluded Partnership (unless such Person is or shall become an Excluded Subsidiary upon ceasing to be an Excluded Partnership) or an Excluded Subsidiary
(provided that such Person remains a Subsidiary), the Borrower shall (i) cause such Person to guarantee the Borrower’s Obligations hereunder pursuant to the Security Agreement and (ii) deliver to the Agent such legal opinions
(which, unless the Agent reasonably requests otherwise, may be delivered by in-house counsel to the Borrower) and other documents as the Agent may reasonably request relating to the existence of such Person, the corporate or other authority for and
validity of its guarantee pursuant to the Security Agreement and any other matters relevant thereto, all in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent. Without limiting the foregoing, the Borrower shall cause each Subsidiary Guarantor at all times
to guarantee the Borrower’s obligations hereunder pursuant to the Security Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Borrower may, at any time in its sole discretion, cause any Excluded Subsidiary to become a Subsidiary
Guarantor upon written notice to the Administrative Agent. 
 Section 5.09. Future Assets to Be Added to Collateral and
Further Assurances. 
 (a) Within 30 Business Days after any Person becomes or is deemed to have become a Subsidiary, an
Insurance Subsidiary or ceases to be an Excluded Partnership (provided that such Person remains a Subsidiary) after the Closing Date, the Borrower shall cause all Equity Interests in such Person owned by the Borrower or the Subsidiary
Guarantors to be pledged under the Security Agreement; provided that (x) if regulatory consent is required to permit any such pledge of Equity Interests in an Insurance Subsidiary, (i) such pledge shall not be required unless such
regulatory consent is reasonably obtainable and (ii) if such regulatory consent is reasonably obtainable, the Borrower shall exercise all reasonable efforts to obtain it and shall not be required to pledge such Equity Interests unless and until
it is obtained, (y) if such Person is a Foreign Subsidiary, such Equity Interests must only be pledged if they are further directly held by a Credit Party, and only 66% of the voting stock of any such Foreign Subsidiary shall be required to be
pledged and (z) if such Person is not a Wholly Owned Subsidiary, the grant of a security interest in the Equity Interests thereof would not constitute a material violation of a valid and enforceable restriction in favor of a third party.

 (b) If at any time after the Closing Date the Borrower or a Subsidiary Guarantor acquires a fee interest in a Material Real
Property (other than any Specified Property) that is not included in the Collateral, the Borrower shall, within five Business Days after it or such Subsidiary Guarantor acquires such Material Real Property, provide notice thereof to the Agent and,
within 60 days after it or such Subsidiary Guarantor acquires such Material Real Property, cause such Material Real Property to be added to the 

  
 -63-

 
Collateral by delivering to the Agent a Mortgage with respect thereto and the appropriate UCC form for the related fixture filing, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent
and deliver to the Agent such documentation as would have been required by Section 5.14 hereof. 
 (c) Within 30 Business
Days (except in respect of clause (iii) below, where the period shall be 60 Business Days) after any Person becomes a Restricted Subsidiary (other than an Excluded Subsidiary that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor) or ceases to be an Excluded
Partnership (unless such Person is or shall become an Excluded Subsidiary upon ceasing to be an Excluded Partnership) or an Excluded Subsidiary (provided that such Person remains a Subsidiary), the Borrower will (i) cause such Person to
sign and deliver a Security Agreement Supplement granting a Lien or Liens on substantially all the personal property included in its assets (with the exceptions set forth in the first proviso at the end of Section 3 of the Security Agreement
and such other exceptions as the Agent shall approve in writing) to the Agent to secure its Secured Obligations, (ii) cause such Person to comply with the provisions thereof and of the Security Agreement and (iii) cause the Material Real
Property owned by such Person to be added to the Collateral by delivering to the Agent a Mortgage with respect thereto and the appropriate UCC form for the related fixture filing, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent and
any other items as may be required pursuant to Section 5.09(f). 
 (d) If any Specified Property referred to in Schedule
1.01H with a book value exceeding $10,000,000 (in the case of a hospital) or $5,000,000 (in all other cases) has not been sold on or prior to the date with respect to such Specified Property indicated on Schedule 1.01H (other than to the Borrower or
any Subsidiary of the Borrower), the Borrower shall promptly (and in any event by no later than 45 Business Days after such date indicated on Schedule 1.01H) cause such Specified Property to be added to the Collateral by delivering to the Agent a
Mortgage with respect thereto and any other items as may be required pursuant to Section 5.09(f). Subject to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, prior to such time, the Borrower shall ensure that no Lien (other than Permitted Encumbrances) over
any such Specified Property is granted to any Person. 
 (e) If at any time the granting of a pledge or other Security Interest
over the Equity Interests in Cornerstone is not prohibited by Cayman Islands law, the Borrower shall ensure that a pledge or such other security interest over such Equity Interests is granted to the Agent for the benefit of the Lenders and that
stock certificates evidencing such Equity Interests are delivered as soon as practicable to the Agent together with signed stock powers or other appropriate instruments of transfer relating thereto. Subject to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, prior
to such time, the Borrower shall ensure that no Lien over such Equity Interests is granted to any Person. 
 (f) Whenever any
asset is added to the Collateral pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall (i) allow a review and other due diligence to be performed by the Agent on such asset, and (ii) deliver to the Agent such documentation as would have been
required by Section 5.14 hereof if such asset had been owned by the Borrower or a Subsidiary Guarantor on the Closing Date. 
 (g) Promptly, upon the reasonable request of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, at Borrower’s expense, execute, acknowledge and deliver, or cause the execution, acknowledgment and
delivery of, and thereafter register, file or record, or cause to be registered, filed or recorded, in an appropriate governmental office, any document or instrument supplemental to or confirmatory of the Collateral Documents or otherwise deemed by
the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent reasonably necessary or appropriate for the continued validity, perfection and priority of the Liens on the Collateral covered thereby pursuant to the Collateral Documents subject to no other Liens
except as permitted by the applicable Collateral Document, or obtain any consents or waivers as may be necessary or appropriate in connection therewith. Promptly, upon reasonable request, deliver or cause to be delivered to the Administrative Agent
and the Collateral Agent from time to time such other documentation, consents, 

  
 -64-

 
authorizations, approvals and orders in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent as the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall
reasonably deem necessary to perfect or maintain the Liens on the Collateral pursuant to the Collateral Documents. 
 Section
5.10. Condemnation Events. If any Condemnation Event occurs with respect to the Owned Real Properties by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, or if any negotiation or proceeding is commenced which might result in such a
Condemnation Event, or if any such Condemnation Event is proposed or threatened, the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary will, promptly after receiving notice or obtaining knowledge thereof, do all things reasonably necessary or appropriate by it
to preserve its interest in such property and promptly make claim for awards payable with respect thereto and diligently pursue to conclusion such claim and any suit, action or other proceeding reasonably necessary or appropriate to obtain payment
thereof. 
 Section 5.11. Use of Proceeds. All proceeds of the Loans made on the Closing Date shall be used by the
Borrower (i) to effect the Transactions and (ii) to pay fees and expenses related to the Transactions. No part of the proceeds of any Loan will be used for any purpose that entails a violation of the provisions of Regulation U, Regulation
X and, assuming that no broker-dealer or other “creditor” (as defined in Regulation T) extends or maintains credit under this Agreement, Regulation T. 
 Section 5.12. Interest Rate Protection. Within one year after the Closing Date, Borrower shall enter into one or more Interest Rate Agreements in an aggregate notional principal amount of not less
than 25% of the sum of the aggregate principal amounts of the then outstanding Term Loans, for a term to be reasonably determined by the Borrower, each such Interest Rate Agreement to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
Administrative Agent. The Borrower shall maintain in effect each such Interest Rate Agreement during its term. 
 Section 5.13.
Environmental Matters. From time to time after the Closing, the Borrower will review the effect of Environmental Laws on the business, operations and properties of the Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors, in the course of which reviews it
will identify and evaluate associated liabilities and costs, including all Environmental Liabilities. If, on the basis of such reviews, the Borrower reasonably concludes that the foregoing associated liabilities and costs would reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, the Borrower shall promptly deliver a certificate to the Agent setting forth its conclusion and the action that the Borrower proposes to take with respect thereto. 

Section 5.14. Post-Closing.

policy) insuring the Lien of such Mortgage as a valid mortgage Lien on the Owned Real Property free of any other Liens except for Permitted Liens which policy (or such commitment) shall be issued by a nationally recognized title insurance company

the title policies referred to above, (vi) an ALTA survey (or update certificate to an existing ALTA survey together with an affidavit of no change) in a form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Agent, in either case to the extent
required by the title insurance company issuing the policy of title insurance required by clause (iii) hereof for deletion of the so called “survey exception” and issue the endorsements reasonably requested by the Agent, (vii) an
opinion of counsel to the Borrower or applicable Subsidiary Guarantor opining as to the enforceability of the Mortgages in a form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Agent, (viii) to the extent any lease in respect of greater than 20,000

cause such lease to be subordinate to the Lien of the Mortgage to be recorded against such Owned Real Property, either expressly by such lease’s terms or pursuant to a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement in form and
substance reasonably acceptable to the Agent. 
 (b) Additional Post Closing Obligations. The Borrower shall, and shall
cause each of the relevant Subsidiary Guarantors (as applicable), to take the actions and comply with the obligations set forth in Schedule 5.14(b) hereto, in each case within such time periods and subject to such terms and conditions as are set

Affiliate; 
 (e) the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary from making payments of principal, interest and

(c) the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor shall fail to observe or perform any of its covenants or agreements contained
in the Financing Documents (other than those covered by clause (a) or (b) above) for 30 days after written notice thereof has been given to the Borrower by the Agent at the request of any Lender; provided that (i) if such
failure relates primarily to the operation of, or to the use, maintenance, protection, preservation or status of property with an aggregate fair market value less than or equal to $25,000,000, such failure shall not constitute an Event of Default
and (ii) in the case of any such failure relating primarily to the operation of, or to the use, maintenance, protection, preservation or status of property with an aggregate fair market value greater than $25,000,000, then if such failure
relates primarily to the operation of, or to the use, maintenance, protection, preservation or status of such property used directly in the operation of a particular Healthcare Facility that is a Master Lease Property and there is a representation,
covenant or agreement dealing with substantially the same subject matter in the applicable Master Lease Agreement, such failure shall not constitute an Event of Default pursuant to this clause (c) and instead shall be governed solely by
Section 8.01(g) below; or 
 (d) any representation, warranty, certification or statement made or deemed
made by the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor in any Financing Document or in any certificate, financial statement or other document delivered pursuant thereto shall prove to have been incorrect in any material respect when made or deemed made;

 (e) the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary shall fail to make one or more payments (whether of principal
or interest) in respect of Material Indebtedness when due or within any period of grace applicable to such payments; or 
 (f) any event or condition shall occur that (i) results in the acceleration of the maturity of any Material Indebtedness or (ii) enables (or, with the giving of notice or lapse of time or

  
 -80-

 
both, would enable) the holder or holders of Material Indebtedness or any Person acting on behalf of such holder or holders to accelerate the maturity thereof; or 

(g) except as would not be reasonably expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, any Master Lease Event of Default
occurs and is continuing and pursuant to such Master Lease Event of Default, Ventas has delivered to Kindred a notice terminating such Master Lease and such notice of termination has not been withdrawn, provided that if the only such Master
Lease Events of Default that have occurred and are continuing are Facility Defaults (as defined in any Master Lease Agreement) and the number of Material Healthcare Facilities to which such Facility Defaults relate does not exceed 15, such condition
shall not constitute an Event of Default pursuant to this subsection (g); or 
 (h) [Reserved]; or

 (i) any member of the ERISA Group shall fail to pay when due an amount or amounts aggregating in excess of
$50,000,000 which it shall have become liable to pay under Title IV of ERISA; or notice of intent to terminate a Material Plan shall be filed under Title IV of ERISA by any member of the ERISA Group, any plan administrator or any combination of the
foregoing; or the PBGC shall institute proceedings under Title IV of ERISA to terminate, to impose liability (other than for premiums under Section 4007 of ERISA) in respect of, or to cause a trustee to be appointed to administer any Material
Plan; or a condition shall exist by reason of which the PBGC would be entitled to obtain a decree adjudicating that any Material Plan must be terminated; or there shall occur a complete or partial withdrawal from, or a default, within the meaning of

 (k) any Lien
created or purported to be created by any of the Collateral Documents shall at any time fail to constitute a valid and perfected Lien on all of the Collateral purported to be subject to such Lien, subject to no prior or equal Lien (other than
Permitted Liens), or the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor shall so assert in writing; provided that it shall not be an Event of Default under this clause (k) if the Liens in question are not valid or not perfected, or are subject to
such other Liens, only in respect of Collateral (x) with an aggregate fair market value not in excess of $25,000,000 during the term of this Agreement or (y) used directly in the operation of one or more particular Healthcare Facilities
that are Master Lease Properties and the number of such facilities does not exceed 15; or 
 (l) any Subsidiary
Guarantor’s Subsidiary Guaranty shall at any time fail to constitute a valid and binding agreement of such Subsidiary Guarantor (except as expressly permitted by any Financing Document), or any Subsidiary Guarantor, or any Person acting on
behalf of any Subsidiary Guarantor, shall so assert in writing; or 
 (m) (i) the Borrower or any Restricted

Securities Exchange Act) shall have acquired beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act) of 50% or more of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Borrower; or, during any
period of 24 consecutive calendar months, individuals who were members of the board of directors of the Borrower on the first day of such period (together with any new directors whose election or appointment by such members or whose nomination for
election by the shareholders of the Borrower was approved by a vote of a majority of the directors then still in office who were either directors at the beginning of such period or whose election or nomination for election was previously so
approved) shall cease to constitute a majority of the board of directors of the Borrower, 
 then, and in every such event the Agent or the
Required Lenders may: 
 (i) by notice to the Borrower terminate the Term Commitments and they shall thereupon
terminate, 
 (ii) by notice to the Borrower, declare the Loans and all other amounts in respect of the
Obligations (in each case together with accrued interest thereon) to be, and they shall thereupon become, immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower,
and 
 (iii) exercise on behalf of itself and the Lenders all rights and remedies available to it and the Lenders
under the Financing Documents or Applicable Law.

law or in equity. Concurrently with the delivery of 

  
 -82-

 
any such Enforcement Notice to the Collateral Agent, all outstanding Loans and all other amounts in respect of the Obligations not theretofore declared due and payable shall automatically become
immediately due and payable. 
 ARTICLE 9 
 THE AGENTS 
 Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints JPMorgan Chase Bank,
N.A. as its agent and authorizes JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., in its capacity as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, (i) to sign and deliver the Collateral Documents and (ii) to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such
powers as are delegated to the Agent by the terms of the Financing Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. 
 The bank serving as the Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent, and such bank and
its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not the Agent hereunder. 

The Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Financing Documents. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, (a) the Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary
action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Financing Documents that the Agent is required to exercise in writing as directed by the Required Lenders (or such other number or
percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 10.02), and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Financing Documents, the Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable
for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Agent shall not be liable for any action
taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 10.02) or in the absence of its own
gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Agent by the Borrower or a Lender, and the Agent shall not be responsible for or have any
duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Financing Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered thereunder or in connection
therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Financing Document, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Financing Document
or any other agreement, instrument or document, (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article 4 or elsewhere in any Financing Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Agent, or
(vi) the existence, genuineness or value of any of the Collateral or the validity, perfection, recordation, priority or enforceability of any Lien on any of the Collateral. 

The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent,
statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. The Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the
proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action
taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. 

  
 -83-

 The Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or
through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Agent. The Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding
paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as
activities as Agent. 
 Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Agent as provided in this paragraph, the Agent
may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the
Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent which shall be a bank with an office
in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring
Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and
such successor. After the Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of
any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Agent. 
 To the extent required by any
applicable laws, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. Without limiting or expanding the provisions of Section 2.14, each Lender shall indemnify and hold
harmless the Administrative Agent against, and shall make payable in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, any and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities and expenses (including fees, charges and disbursements
of any counsel for the Administrative Agent) incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent by the IRS or any other Governmental Authority as a result of the failure of the Administrative Agent to properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to
or for the account of such Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, because the appropriate form was not delivered or not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance
that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of withholding Tax ineffective). 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 hereby authorizes
the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Facility Document against any amount due the Administrative Agent under this paragraph. The agreements in this
paragraph shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Term Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other
Obligations. 
 Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender and
based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other
Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Financing Document, any related
agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. 
 Nothing in any Financing Document shall impose on any of
Citibank, N.A. or Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc., in its capacity as Co-Syndication Agent, or on any of General Electric Capital Cor-

  
 -84-

 
poration or Wells Fargo Capital Finance, Inc. in its capacity as Co-Documentation Agent, any duty or responsibility whatsoever.

 Section
10.02. Waivers; Amendments. 
 (a) No failure or delay by the Agent or any Lender in exercising any right or power
hereunder or under any other Financing Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any
other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Agent and the Lenders under the Financing Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would
otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Financing Document or consent to any departure by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this
Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan shall not be
con-

  
 -85-

 
strued as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time. 

(b) No Financing Document or provision thereof may be waived, amended or modified except, in the case of this Agreement, by an agreement
or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders or, in the case of any other Financing Document, by an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the parties thereto with the consent of the Required Lenders;
provided that no such agreement shall: 
 (i) increase the Term Commitment of any Lender without the
written consent of such Lender; 
 (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or reduce the rate of interest
thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby; 

(iii) postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any scheduled
date of amortization) of any Loan, or any interest thereon, or any fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Term Commitment, without the written consent of
each Lender affected thereby; 
 (iv) release all or substantially all of the Collateral from the Security
Interests or release all or substantially all of the Restricted Subsidiaries from their obligations under the Subsidiary Guarantees (except in each case as expressly provided in the Financing Documents as in effect on the Closing Date) without the
written consent of each Lender; 
 (v) change any of the provisions of this Section or the definition of
“Required Lenders” or any other provision of any Financing Document specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent thereunder without
the written consent of each Lender; or 
 (vi) change Section 2.15(b) or (c) or the definition of
“Pro Rata Share” in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the written consent of each Lender; 
 provided, further, that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Agent without the prior written consent of the Agent. 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10.02, the Borrower and the Agent may, without the input or consent of the
other Lenders, (i) effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Financing Documents as may be necessary or appropriate in the opinion of the Agent to effect the provisions of Section 2.18 (it being understood that no such
amendments shall amend the provisions of Section 2.18) and (ii) enter into any amendment of any Financing Document, or enter into any new agreement or instrument, to effect the granting, perfection, protection, expansion or enhancement of
any security interest in any Collateral or additional property to become Collateral for the benefit of the Lender Parties, or as required by local law to give effect to, or protect any security interest for the benefit of the Lender Parties, in any
property or so that the security interests therein comply with Applicable Law. 
 Section 10.03. Expenses; Indemnity; Damage
Waiver. 

  
 -86-

 (a) The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred by the
Agent, the Co-Syndication Agents and their respective Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Agent and the Co-Syndication Agents, in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided
for herein, the preparation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement and the other Financing Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated
hereby or thereby shall be consummated) and (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agent or any Lender, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Agent or any Lender, in connection with the
enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement and the other Financing Documents, including its rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made hereunder, including all such out-of pocket expenses incurred
during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans. 
 (b) The Borrower shall indemnify the Agent, the
Co-Syndication Agents and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages,
liabilities and related expenses, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or
delivery of any Financing Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties to the Financing Documents of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other
transactions contemplated thereby, (ii) any Loan or the use of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or Release or threat of Release of Hazardous Materials on, at, under or from any property owned, leased or operated
by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the
foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims,
damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. 

(c) To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Agent or the Co-Syndication Agents under
paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section (but without affecting the Borrower’s obligations with respect thereto), each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Agent or the Co-Syndication Agents, as the case may be, such Lender’s Pro
Rata Share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as
the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Agent or any Co-Syndication Agent in its capacity as such. 
 (d) To
the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages)
arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof. 

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

Section 10.04. Successors and Assigns. 

  
 -87-

 (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any
attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section. Nothing in this
Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section) and,
to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. 

(b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees (which assignees
shall be financial institutions in the business of making regular extensions of credit or making investments in syndicated loans, it being understood that neither the Borrower (or any of its Affiliates) nor any natural Person shall be a Lender)) all
or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Term Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) of: 

(1) the Borrower, provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to an assignment unless it shall
have objected thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received notice thereof; provided, further that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an
Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee; and 
 (2) the Agent, provided that no consent of the Agent shall be required for an assignment to a Lender immediately prior to giving effect to such assignment, an Affiliate of such a Lender or an
Approved Fund. 
 (ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions: 

(1) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the
entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Loans, the amount of Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the
Agent) shall not be less than $1,000,000, and, immediately after giving effect to such assignment, the assigning Lender shall have (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Agent)
Loans aggregating at least $1,000,000, in each case unless each of the Borrower and the Agent otherwise consent, provided that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if a Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; 

(2) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s
rights and obligations under this Agreement; 
 (3) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to
the Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; 
 (4) the
assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire in which the assignee designates one or more “credit contacts” to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain
material non-public information about the Borrower and its Related Parties or their respective securities) will be made available 

  
 -88-

 
and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and Applicable Laws, including federal and state securities laws; and 

(5) (A) promptly prior to the effectiveness of such assignment, the assigning Lender shall have requested and received the
most recent Disqualified Institutions List from the Administrative Agent and (B) no assignments shall be made to Defaulting Lenders or Disqualified Institutions (as set forth on the most recent update to the Disqualified Institutions List
delivered to the assigning Lender). 
 “Approved Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person) that is
engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business and that is administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an Affiliate of a Lender or (c) an
entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender. 
 (iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof
pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and
Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement
(and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections
2.12, 2.13, 2.14, and 10.03). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 10.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a
participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section. 
 (iv) The Agent, acting
for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Term Commitment of, and
principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive (absent manifest error), and the Borrower, the Agent and the
Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by
the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 
 (v) Upon its receipt
of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee
referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the
Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph. 
 (c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) (it being understood that neither
the Borrower (or any of its Affiliates) nor any natural Person shall be a Participant) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Term Commitment and the Loans owing to
it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (C) the
Borrower, the Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal 

  
 -89-

 
solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and (D) (x) promptly prior to the sale of any Participation, such
Lender shall have requested and received the most recent Disqualified Institutions List from the Administrative Agent and (y) no Lender may sell a Participation to a Disqualified Institution (as set forth on the most recent update to the
Disqualified Institutions List delivered to such participating Lender). 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 the Financing Documents
and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Financing Documents; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any
amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 10.02(b) that that (1) increases the Term Commitments participated to such Participant, (2) reduces the amount of principal, interest or fees participated or
payable to such Participant, (3) extends the Maturity Date or the due date of any amortization, interest or fee payment payable to such Participant, (4) releases the Guarantees of the Obligations of all or substantially of the Subsidiary
Guarantors or all or substantially all of the Collateral or (5) changes the voting rights granted to such Participant pursuant to this Section 10.04(c). Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each
Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12, 2.13 and 2.14 (subject to the requirements and limitations of such Sections and Section 2.16) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment
pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to
Section 2.15(c) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells participations to a Participant, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain a Register of all such Participants. The entries in the
participant register shall be conclusive (absent manifest error), and the Borrower and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the participant register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Participant for all purposes of this
Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Credit Party and the Lenders acknowledge and agree that the Administrative Agent shall not have any responsibility to determine the compliance of any Lender with
the requirements of this Section 10.04(c)(i) (it being understood that each Lender shall be responsible for ensuring its own compliance with the requirements of this Section). 

(ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.12 or 2.14 than the applicable Lender would
have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

 (d) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a Security Interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement
to secure obligations of such Lender, including without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a Security Interest; provided
that no such pledge or assignment of a Security Interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. 

Section 10.05. Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Credit Parties in the Financing
Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to the Financing Documents shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the
Financing Documents and the making of any Loans, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect
representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is
outstanding and unpaid or unsatisfied and so long as the Term 

  
 -90-

 
Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.14 and 10.03 and Article 9 shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of
the Transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Term Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof. 

Section 10.06. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties
hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the other Financing Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to
fees payable to the Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Subject to the
limitations contained in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Agent and when the Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the
other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement or any document or
instrument delivered in connection herewith by facsimile transmission or electronic “.pdf” file or similar electronic format shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement or such document or
instrument, as the case may be. 
 Section 10.07. Severability. Any provision of any Financing Document held to be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining
provisions thereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
 Section 10.08. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the
account of the Borrower against any of and all the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and
although such obligations may be contingent or unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have. 

Section 10.09. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. 

(a) This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York.

jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in any Financing Document shall affect any right that the Agent or any

Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to any Financing Document against any Credit Party or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction. 

(c) The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection
which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to any Financing Document in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby
irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court. 
 (d) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 10.01. Nothing in any Financing Document will affect the right of any party
to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY FINANCING DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS

 ARTICLE IV ELIGIBILITY 
 4.1 Determined By Committee. The Participants and the Benefits they receive under the Plan shall be determined solely by the Committee. In making its determinations, the Committee shall consider past,
present and expected future contributions of Participants and potential Participants to the Employer. Members of the Committee and any other person whose participation in the Plan would cause disqualification of a benefit plan intended to be
qualified under Rule 16b-3 are ineligible to participate in the Plan. 
 ARTICLE V ADMINISTRATION 

5.1 Committee. The Plan shall be administered by the Committee or its successor subject to all governing laws now or hereinafter in
effect and the express provisions hereof. The Committee shall consist of three or more members of the Board who are “disinterested persons” as defined in Rule 16b-3 and are “outside directors” as defined in Code
Section 162(m) and the regulations thereunder. 
 5.2 Authority. Subject to governing laws and the express provisions of
the Plan, the Committee shall have sole authority to: (a) determine the individuals to whom Benefits are granted, the type and amounts of Benefits to be granted and the date of issuance and duration of all such grants; (b) determine the
terms, conditions and provisions of, and restrictions relating to, each Benefit granted, including without limitation those related to vesting, payments and exercisablility; (c) interpret and construe the Plan and all Agreements;
(d)

 
prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan; (e) make all determinations necessary or advisable in administering the Plan, including without limitation
determinations as to whether (and insofar as what date) a Participant has commenced or experienced a termination of employment; provided, however, that to the extent full or partial payment of any Benefit that constitutes a deferral of compensation
subject to 409A is made upon or as a result of a Participant’s termination of employment, the Participant will be considered to have experienced a termination of employment if, and only if, the Participant has experienced a separation from
service with the Participants’ Employer for purposes of Section 409A; (f) determine the content and form of all Agreements; (g) determine all questions relating to Benefits under the Plan; (h) maintain accounts, records and
ledgers relating to Benefits; (i) maintain records concerning its decisions and proceedings; (j) employ agents, attorneys, accountants or other persons for such purposes as the Committee considers necessary or desirable; and (k) do
and perform all acts which it may deem necessary or appropriate for the administration of the Plan and to carry out the purposes of the Plan. 
 5.3 Performance Based Benefits. Since the primary purpose of the Plan is to provide performance based incentives, the Shares which may be issued or sold or for which Options, SARs or Performance Shares
may be granted under the Plan in any Fiscal Year shall be payable solely on account of the attainment of performance goals established by the Committee at the time such Benefit is granted. Such performance goals will be based upon one or more of the
following performance based criteria, either on a Company-specific basis or in comparison with peer group performance: return on net assets, return on assets, return on equity, 

 
return on capital, return on revenues, cash flow, book value, Share price performance (including Options and SARs tied solely to appreciation in the fair market value of the Shares), earnings per
Share, price earnings ratio, total quality management score calculated generally in accordance with criteria and scoring procedures specified by the Bank Compensation Strategies Group or such other performance based criteria adopted by the Board
from time to time. 
 5.4 Delegation. The Committee may delegate all or any part of its authority under the Plan to any
Employee, Employees, or committee of Employees except as would be required by Rule 16b-3 with respect to benefits granted to individuals who are or would be subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act if the Common Stock was registered under the
Exchange Act, or as otherwise required for compliance with other applicable law. 
 5.5 Decisions of Committee and its
Delegates. All decisions made by the Committee, or (unless the Committee has specified an appeal process to the contrary) any other person or persons to whom the Committee has delegated authority, pursuant to the provisions hereof shall be final and
binding on all persons. 
 5.6 No Liability. Subject to applicable law: (i) no member of the Committee shall be liable for
anything whatsoever in connection with the exercise of authority under the Plan or the administration of the Plan except as such person’s own willful misconduct; (ii) under no circumstance shall any member of the Committee be liable for
any act or omission of any other member of the Committee; and (iii) in the performance of its functions with respect to the Plan, the Committee shall be entitled to rely upon information and advice furnished by the Company’s officers, the
Company’s accountants, the Company’s counsel and any other party the Committee deems necessary, and no member of the Committee shall be liable for any action taken or not taken in good faith reliance upon any such advice. 

 ARTICLE VI AMENDMENT OF PLAN 
 6.1 Power of Committee. The Committee shall have the right and power to amend the Plan at any time and from time to time; provided, however, that the Committee may not amend the Plan, without approval of
the shareholders of the Company, in a manner which would: (a) cause Options which are intended to qualify as ISOs to fail to qualify; (b) cause the Plan to fail to meet the requirements of Rule 16b-3 if the Common Stock were registered
under the Exchange Act; or (c) violate applicable law. 
 ARTICLE VII TERM AND TERMINATION OF PLAN 

7.1 Term. The Plan shall commence as of the Effective Date. No Benefit shall be granted pursuant to the Plan on or after the fifteenth
anniversary date of the Effective Date, but Benefits granted prior to such fifteenth anniversary may extend beyond that date to the date(s) specified in the Agreement(s) covering such Benefits. 

7.2 Termination. Subject to ARTICLE VIII, the Plan may be terminated at any time by the Committee. 

ARTICLE VIII MODIFICATION OR TERMINATION OF BENEFITS 
 8.1 General. Subject to the provisions of Section 8.2, the amendment or termination of the Plan shall not materially adversely affect a Participant’s rights to or under any Benefit granted prior
to such amendment or termination. 
 8.2 Committee’s Right. Except as may be provided in an Agreement, any Benefit granted
may be converted, modified, forfeited or canceled, to the 

 
extent permitted by governing law, prospectively or retroactively, in whole or in part, by the Committee, but, subject to Section 8.3, no such action may materially adversely affect the
rights of any Participant without the Participant’s consent. 
 8.3 Termination of Benefits under Certain Conditions. The
Committee shall have the right at any time, without Participant’s consent and whether or not the Participant’s rights are materially adversely affected thereby, to amend or modify the Plan or any Benefit under the Plan in any manner that
the Committee considers necessary or advisable to comply with any law, regulation, ruling, judicial decision, accounting standard, regulatory guidance or other legal requirement. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, neither the Board or the
Committee may accelerate the payment or settlement of any Benefit, including without limitation any Benefit subject to a prior deferral election that constitutes a deferral of compensation for purposes of Section 409A, except to the extent such
would not result in Participant incurring interest or additional tax under Section 409A. Provided further, the Committee may cancel any unexpired, unpaid, or deferred Benefit at any time if the Participant is not in compliance with all
applicable provisions of this Plan or with any Agreement or if the Participant, whether or not the Participant is currently employed by an Employer, acts in a manner contrary to the best interests of the Company or any Affiliate. 

ARTICLE IX AGREEMENTS AND CERTAIN BENEFITS 
 9.1 Grant Evidenced by Agreement. The grant of any Benefit under the Plan may be evidenced by an Agreement which shall describe the specific Benefit granted and the terms and conditions of the Benefit.
The granting of any Benefit shall be subject to, and conditioned 

 
upon, the recipient’s execution of any Agreement required by the Committee. Except as otherwise provided in an Agreement, all capitalized terms used in the Agreement shall have the same
meaning as in the Plan, and the Agreement shall be subject to all of the terms of the Plan. 
 9.2 Provisions of Agreement. Each
Agreement shall contain such provisions as the Committee shall determine to be necessary, desirable and appropriate for the Benefit granted which may include, but not necessarily be limited to, the following: description of the type of Benefit; the
Benefit’s duration; its transferability; if an Option, the exercise price, the exercise period and the person or persons who may exercise the Option; the effect upon such Benefit of the Participant’s death, disability, change of duties or
termination of employment; the Benefit’s conditions; subject to the provisions of Section 10.2, when, if, and how any Benefit may be forfeited, converted into another Benefit, modified, exchanged for another Benefit, or replaced; and the
restrictions on any Shares purchased or granted under the Plan. 
 9.3 Certain Benefits. Any Benefit granted to an individual
who is or would be subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act if the Common Stock were registered under the Exchange Act shall not be transferable other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution and shall be exercisable during the
Participant’s lifetime only by the Participant, his or her guardian or legal representative. The designation of a beneficiary by such individual shall not constitute a transfer. 
 ARTICLE X TANDEM AWARDS AND REISSUANCE OF OPTIONS 
 10.1 Tandem Awards. Benefits
may be granted by the Committee, individually or in tandem, provided, however, that no Benefit except SARs may be granted in tandem with an ISO. 

 10.2 Cancellation and Reissuance of Options. The Committee will not permit the repricing of
Options by any method, including by cancellation and reissuance. 
 ARTICLE XI PAYMENT, DIVIDENDS, DEFERRAL AND WITHHOLDING 

11.1 Payment. Upon the exercise of an Option or in the case of any other Benefit that requires a payment by a Participant to the Company,
the amount due the Company is to be paid: (a) in cash; (b) by the surrender of all or part of a Benefit (including the Benefit being exercised); (c) by the tender to the Company of Shares owned by the Participant and registered in the
Participant’s name having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount due to the Company; (d) in other property, rights and credits, deemed acceptable by the Committee including the Participant’s promissory note; or (e) by any
combination of the payment methods specified in (a) through (d) above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any method of payment other than in cash may be used only with the consent of the Committee or if and to the extent so provided in an
Agreement. The proceeds of the sale of Shares purchased pursuant to an Option and any payment to the Company for other Benefits shall be added to the general funds of the Company or to the reacquired Shares held by the Company, as the case may be,
and used for the corporate purposes of the Company as the Board shall determine. 
 11.2 Dividend Equivalents. Grants of
Benefits in Shares or Share equivalents may include dividend or dividend equivalent payments or dividend credit rights. 
 11.3
Deferral. The right to receive any Benefit under the Plan may be deferred by the Committee subject to applicable law and the expressed provisions hereof for such period and upon such terms as the Committee shall determine, which may include
crediting of interest on deferrals of cash and crediting of dividends on deferrals denominated in Shares. 

 
To the extent a Benefit constitutes a deferral of compensation subject to Section 409A, the Committee shall set forth in writing (which may be in an electronic form), on or before the date
the applicable deferral election is required to be irrevocable in order to meet the requirements of Section 409A, the conditions under which such election may be made. 
 11.4 Withholding Requirements. Prior to the delivery of any Shares or cash pursuant to a Benefit (or exercise thereof), the Company shall have the power and the right to deduct or withhold, or require a
Participant to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy any federal, state, local and foreign taxes of any kind (including, but not limited to, the Participant’s FICA and SDI obligations) which the Committee, in its sole
discretion, deems necessary to be withheld or remitted to comply with the Code and/or any other applicable law, rule or regulation with respect to such Benefit (or exercise thereof). 

11.5 Withholding Arrangements. The Committee in its sole discretion and pursuant to such procedures as the Committee may specify from
time to time may permit or require a Participant to satisfy all or part of the tax withholding obligations in connection with a Benefit by paying, at the Company’s option: (i) cash, or (ii) other property, including the tender of
previously owned Shares, or the withholding of otherwise deliverable Shares, in each case having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount sufficient to satisfy the withholding obligations. 
 ARTICLE XII OPTIONS 
 12.1 Types of Options. It is intended that both ISOs and
NQSOs may be granted by the Committee under the Plan subject to the terms and conditions established by the Committee in connection with the Options and specified in the applicable Agreement. 

 12.2 Option Price. The purchase price for Shares under any ISO and any NQSO shall be no less
than 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Shares at the time the Option is granted. 
 12.3 Other Requirements for ISOs. The
terms of each Option which is intended to qualify as an ISO shall meet all requirements of applicable law, particularly Section 422 of the Code or any successor statute in effect from time to time. 

12.4 NQSOs. The terms of each NQSO shall provide that such Option will not be treated as an ISO. 

12.5 Determination by Committee. Except as otherwise provided in Section 12.2 through Section 12.4, the terms of all Options
shall be determined by the Committee. 
 ARTICLE XIII SARS 
 13.1 Grant and Payment. The Committee may grant SARs, subject to terms and conditions established by the Committee. Upon electing to receive payment of a SAR, a Participant shall receive payment in cash,
in Shares, or in any combination of cash and Shares, as the Committee shall determine. 
 13.2 Exercise Price. The Committee
shall establish (or shall authorize the method of establishing) the exercise price of all SARs granted under the Plan, except that the exercise price of a SAR shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Shares at the time of the
grant. 
 13.3 Grant of Tandem Award. If SARs are granted in tandem with an Option, the exercise of the Option shall cause a
proportional reduction in SARs standing to a Participant’s credit which were granted in tandem with the Option; and the payment of SARs 

 
shall cause a proportional reduction of the Shares under such Option. If SARs are granted in tandem with an ISO, the SARs shall have such terms and conditions as shall be required for the ISO to
qualify as an ISO. 
 13.4 Payment of Award. SARs shall be paid by the Company to a Participant, to the extent payment is
elected by the Participant (and is otherwise due and payable), after the date on which such election is made in accordance with the Agreement granting any such award. 
 ARTICLE XIV RESTRICTED STOCK 
 14.1 Description. The Committee may grant Benefits
in Shares as Restricted Stock with such terms and conditions as may be determined by the Committee. Shares of Restricted Stock shall be issued and delivered at the time of the grant or as otherwise determined by the Committee, but shall be subject
to forfeiture until provided otherwise in the applicable Agreement or the Plan. Each certificate representing Shares of Restricted Stock shall bear a legend referring to the Plan and the risk of forfeiture of the Shares and stating that such Shares
are nontransferable until all restrictions have been satisfied and the legend has been removed. As determined by the Committee at the time of the grant, the grantee may or may not be entitled to full voting and dividend rights with respect to all
shares of Restricted Stock from the date of grant. The Committee may (but is not obligated to) require that any dividends on such shares shall be automatically deferred and reinvested in additional Restricted Stock subject to the same restrictions
as the underlying Benefit. 
 14.2 Nontransferability. Shares of Restricted Stock shall not be transferable until after the
removal of the legend with respect to such Shares. 

 ARTICLE XV PERFORMANCE SHARES 
 15.1 Description. Performance Shares represent the right of a Participant to receive Shares or cash equal to 100% of the Fair Market Value of such Shares at a future date in accordance with the terms and
conditions of a grant. The terms and conditions shall be determined by the Committee, but generally are expected to be based substantially upon the attainment of targeted financial performance objectives. 

15.2 Grant. The Committee may grant an award of Performance Shares at such times, in such amounts and under such terms and conditions as
it deems appropriate. 
 ARTICLE XVI CASH AWARDS 
 16.1 Grant. The Committee may grant Cash Awards at such times and in such amounts as it deems appropriate subject to Board approval. 

16.2 Restrictions. As determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, Cash Awards may be subject or not subject to conditions,
restricted or nonrestricted, vested or subject to forfeiture, and may be payable currently or in the future or both. 
 ARTICLE XVII OTHER STOCK
BASED AWARDS AND OTHER BENEFITS 
 17.1 Other Stock Based Awards. The Committee shall have the right to grant Other Stock Based
Awards, to the extent permitted by law, which may include, without limitation, the grant of Shares based on certain conditions, the payment of cash based on the performance of the Common Stock, and the grant of securities convertible into Shares.

 17.2 Other Benefits. The Committee shall have the right to provide other types of Benefits under the Plan, to the extent
permitted by and in accordance with law, in addition to those specifically listed, if the Committee believes that such Benefits would further the purposes for which the Plan has been established and the interest of the Company. 

 ARTICLE XVIII MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS 

18.1 Termination of Employment. If the employment of a Participant by the Employer terminates for any reason, all unexercised, deferred,
and unpaid Benefits may be exercisable or paid only in accordance with rules established by the Committee. Subject to applicable law, these rules may provide, as the Committee may deem appropriate, for the expiration, forfeiture, continuation, or
acceleration of the vesting, except as may be provided in an Agreement, of all or part of the Benefits. 
 18.2 Unfunded Status
of the Plan. The Plan is intended to constitute an “unfunded” plan for incentive and deferred compensation. With respect to any payments or deliveries of Shares not yet made to a Participant by the Company, nothing contained herein shall
give any rights that are greater than those of a general creditor of the Company. The Committee may authorize the creation of trusts or other arrangements to meet the obligations created under the Plan to deliver Shares or payments hereunder
consistent with the foregoing. 
 18.3 Designation of Beneficiary. A Participant may file with the Committee a written
designation of a beneficiary or beneficiaries (subject to such limitations as to the classes and number of beneficiaries and contingent beneficiaries as the Committee may from time to time prescribe) to exercise, in the event of the death of the
Participant, an Option, or to receive, in such event, any Benefits. The Committee reserves the right to review and approve beneficiary designations. A Participant may from time to time revoke or change any such designation of beneficiary and any
designation of beneficiary under the Plan shall be controlling over any other disposition, testamentary or otherwise; provided, however, that if the Committee shall be in 

 
doubt as to the right of any such beneficiary to exercise any Option or to receive any Benefit, the Committee may determine to recognize only an exercise by the legal representative of the
recipient, in which case the Company, the Committee and the members thereof shall not be under any further liability to anyone. 

18.4 Nontransferability. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee or specified in an Agreement, (i) no Benefit granted under
this Plan may be transferred or assigned by the Participant to whom it is granted other than by beneficiary designation, will, pursuant to the laws of descent and distribution, or pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order, and (ii) a
Benefit granted under this Plan may be exercised, during the Participant’s lifetime, only by the Participant or by the Participant’s guardian or legal representative; except that, no ISO may be transferred or assigned pursuant to a
qualified domestic relations order or exercised, during the Participant’s lifetime, by the Participant’s guardian or legal representative. 
 18.5 Rule 16b-3. With respect to Participants who are or would be subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act if the Common Stock were registered under the Exchange Act, transactions under this Plan
are intended to comply with all applicable provisions of Rule 16b-3 or its successors under the Exchange Act. To the extent any provision of the Plan or action by the Plan administrators fails to so comply, it shall be deemed null and void, to the
extent permitted by law and deemed advisable by the Committee. 
 18.6 Underscored References. The underscored references
contained in the Plan and in any Agreement are included only for convenience, and they shall not be construed as a part of the Plan or Agreement or in any respect affecting or modifying its provisions. 

 18.7 Number and Gender. The masculine, feminine and neuter, wherever used in the Plan or in
any Agreement, shall refer to either the masculine, feminine or neuter; and, unless the context otherwise requires, the singular shall include the plural and the plural the singular. 

18.8 Governing Law. The place of administration of the Plan and each Agreement shall be in the State of Louisiana, and this Plan and each
Agreement shall be construed and administered in accordance with applicable federal laws and regulations and the laws of the State of Louisiana (without giving effect to principles relating to conflict of laws). The Louisiana Business Corporation
Law shall govern issues related to the validity and issuance of Shares. 
 18.9 Purchase for Investment. The Committee may
require each person purchasing or receiving Shares pursuant to a Benefit to represent to and agree with the Company in writing that such person is acquiring the Shares for investment and without a view to distribution or resale. The certificates for
such Shares may include any legend which the Committee deems appropriate to reflect any restrictions on transfer. All certificates for Shares delivered under the Plan shall be subject to such stock-transfer orders and other restrictions as the
Committee may deem advisable under all applicable laws, rules and regulations, and the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be put on any such certificates to make appropriate references to such restrictions. 

18.10 No Employment Contract. Neither the adoption of the Plan nor any Benefit granted hereunder shall confer upon any Employee any right
to continued employment nor shall the Plan or any Benefit interfere in any way with the right of the Employer to terminate the employment of any of its Employees at any time. 

 18.11 No Effect on Other Benefits. The receipt of Benefits under the Plan shall have no
effect on any benefits to which a Participant may be entitled from the Employer, under another plan or otherwise, or preclude a Participant from receiving any such benefits. 
 18.12 Severability. In the event any provision of the Plan or of any Agreement shall be held illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts of the
Plan or the Agreement, and the Plan and/or the Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision had not been included.
