a.m. (i) two Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans or of any conversion of Eurodollar Rate Loans to Alternate Base Rate Loans, and (ii) on the requested date
of any Borrowing of Alternate Base Rate Loans. 
 (c) Each Revolving Borrowing and Term Borrowing of, conversion to or
continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. Except as provided in Sections 2.03(c) and 2.04(c), each Revolving Borrowing and Term Borrowing of or
conversion to Alternate Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. 
 (d) Each Loan Notice (whether telephonic or written) shall specify (i) whether Borrower is requesting a Revolving Borrowing, a Term Borrowing, a conversion of Revolving Loans from one Type to the
other, or a continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans, (ii) the requested date of the Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the principal amount of Revolving Loans, Revolving to Term
Loans or Incremental Term Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued, (iv) the Type of Loans to be borrowed or to which existing Revolving Loans, Revolving to Term Loans or Incremental Term Loans are to be converted, and (v) if
applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto. If Borrower fails to specify a Type of Revolving Loan, Revolving to Term Loan or Incremental Term Loan in a Loan Notice or if Borrower fails to give a timely notice requesting a
conversion or continuation, then the applicable Revolving Loans, Revolving to Term Loans or Incremental Term Loans shall be made as, or converted to, Alternate Base Rate Loans. Any such automatic conversion to Alternate Base Rate Loans shall be
effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Eurodollar Rate Loans. If Borrower requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans in any such Loan Notice, but fails
to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month. 
 (e) Following receipt of
a Loan Notice, Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the amount of its Applicable Percentage for the applicable Loans, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by Borrower, Agent shall notify each Lender of the
details of any automatic conversion to Alternate Base Rate Loans described in the preceding subsection. In the case of a Revolving Borrowing or Term Borrowing, each Lender shall make the amount of its Loan available to Agent in immediately available
funds at Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in the applicable Loan Notice. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 5.02 (and, if such Revolving Borrowing or Term
Borrowing is the initial Credit Extension, Section 5.01), Agent shall make all funds so received available to Borrower in like funds as received by Agent either by (i) crediting the account of Borrower on the books of Bank of the
West with the amount of such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) Agent by Borrower; provided, however, that if, on the date the Loan
Notice with respect to such Revolving Borrowing is given by Borrower, there are L/C Borrowings outstanding, then the proceeds of such Revolving Borrowing first, shall be applied, to the payment in full of any such L/C Borrowings, and
second, shall be made available to Borrower as provided above. 
 (f) Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurodollar
Rate Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurodollar Rate Loan. During the existence of a Default, no Loans may be requested as, converted to or continued as Eurodollar Rate Loans without the consent
of the Required Lenders, and the Required Lenders may demand that any or all of the then outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loans be converted immediately to Alternate Base Rate Loans and Borrower agrees to pay all amounts due under
Section 3.05 in accordance with the terms thereof due to any such conversion. 

  
 24 

 (g) Agent shall promptly notify Borrower and Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any
Interest Period for Eurodollar Rate Loans upon determination of such interest rate. 
 (h) After giving effect to all Revolving
Borrowings, Term Borrowings, all conversions of Revolving Loans, Revolving to Term Loans and Incremental Term Loans from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than eight (8) Interest
Periods in effect with respect to Loans. 
 2.03 Letters of Credit. (a) The Letter of Credit Commitment.

 (i) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (A) the L/C Issuer agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of
the Revolving Lenders set forth in this Section 2.03, (1) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date until the L/C Expiration Date, to issue Letters of Credit for the account of Borrower, and to
amend or extend Letters of Credit previously issued by it, and (2) to honor drawings under the Letters of Credit; and (B) the Revolving Lenders severally agree to participate in Letters of Credit issued for the account of Borrower and any
drawings thereunder; provided that after giving effect to any L/C Credit Extension with respect to any Letter of Credit, (x) the Total Outstandings of Letters of Credit, Revolving Loans and Swing Line Loans shall not exceed the Aggregate
Revolving Commitments, (y) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Loans of any Lender, plus such Lender’s Applicable Percentage for Revolving Loans of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations plus such
Lender’s Applicable Percentage for Revolving Loans of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such Lender’s Revolving Commitment, and (z) the Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations shall not exceed the L/C
Sublimit. Each request by Borrower for the issuance or amendment of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a representation by Borrower that the L/C Credit Extension so requested complies with the conditions set forth in the proviso to the
preceding sentence. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Borrower’s ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly Borrower may, during the foregoing period, obtain Letters
of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed. All Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued pursuant hereto, and from and after the Closing Date shall be subject to and
governed by the terms and conditions hereof. 
 (ii) The L/C Issuer shall not issue any Letter of Credit, if: 

(A) the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur more than twelve months after the date of issuance or
last extension, unless the Required Lenders have approved such expiry date; or 
 (B) the expiry date of such
requested Letter of Credit would occur after the L/C Expiration Date, unless all the Revolving Lenders have approved such expiry date. 
 (iii) The L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if: 
 (A) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the L/C Issuer from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to
the L/C Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the L/C Issuer shall prohibit, or request that the L/C Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit
generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the L/C Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which the L/C Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in
effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon the L/C Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date and which the L/C Issuer in good faith deems material to it; 

  
 25 

 (B) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies
of the L/C Issuer applicable to letters of credit generally; 
 (C) such Letter of Credit is to be denominated in
a currency other than Dollars; 
 (D) a default of any Revolving Lender’s obligations to fund under
Section 2.03(c) exists or any Revolving Lender is at such time a Defaulting Lender hereunder, unless the L/C Issuer has entered into satisfactory arrangements with such Revolving Lender to eliminate the L/C Issuer’s risk with
respect to such Revolving Lender; or 
 (E) unless specifically provided for in this Agreement, such Letter of
Credit contains any provisions for automatic reinstatement of the stated amount after any drawing thereunder. 
 (iv) The L/C
Issuer shall not amend any Letter of Credit if the L/C Issuer would not be permitted at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof. 
 (v) The L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit. 

(vi) The L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Revolving Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the
documents associated therewith, and the L/C Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (A) provided to Agent in Article X with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by the L/C Issuer in connection with Letters of
Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and Issuer Documents pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Agent” as used in Article X included the L/C Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions, and
(B) as additionally provided herein with respect to the L/C Issuer. 
 (b) Procedures for Issuance and Amendment
of Letters of Credit. 
 (i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of
Borrower delivered to the L/C Issuer (with a copy to Agent if different from the L/C Issuer) in the form of a L/C Application, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of Borrower. Such L/C Application must be received by the L/C
Issuer and Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. at least two Business Days (or such later date and time as Agent and the L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in their sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as
the case may be. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such L/C Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the L/C Issuer: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of
Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount thereof; (C) the expiry date thereof; (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing
thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; and (G) such other matters as the L/C Issuer may reasonably require. In the case of a request for an amendment of any
outstanding Letter of Credit, such L/C Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the L/C Issuer (A) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (B) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business
Day); (C) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (D) such other matters as the L/C Issuer may reasonably require. Additionally, Borrower shall furnish to the L/C Issuer and Agent such other documents and information pertaining to
such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, including any Issuer Documents, as the L/C Issuer or Agent may reasonably require. 
 (ii) Promptly after receipt of any L/C Application at the address set forth in Section 11.02 for receiving L/C Applications and related correspondence, the L/C Issuer will confirm with Agent
(by telephone or in writing) that Agent has received a copy of such L/C Application from Borrower and, if not, 

  
 26 

 
the L/C Issuer will provide Agent with a copy thereof. Unless the L/C Issuer has received written notice from any Revolving Lender, Agent or any Loan Party, at least one Business Day prior to the
requested date of issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions in Article IV shall not then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the L/C Issuer shall, on the
requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of Borrower or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with the L/C Issuer’s usual and customary business practices. Immediately upon the
issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the L/C Issuer a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such
Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage for Revolving Loans times the amount of such Letter of Credit. 
 (iii)
Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the L/C Issuer will also deliver to Borrower and Agent a true and complete copy of
such Letter of Credit or amendment. 
 (c) Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations. 

(i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall
notify Borrower and Agent thereof. Not later than 11:00 a.m. on the date of any payment by the L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit (each such date, an “Honor Date”), Borrower shall reimburse the L/C Issuer through Agent in an amount
equal to the amount of such drawing. If Borrower fails to so reimburse the L/C Issuer by such time, Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the “Unreimbursed
Amount”), and the amount of such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage for Revolving Loans thereof. In such event, Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Revolving Borrowing of Alternate Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on the
Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.02 for the principal amount of Alternate Base Rate Loans, but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of
the Aggregate Revolving Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 5.02 (other than the delivery of a Loan Notice). Any notice given by the L/C Issuer or Agent pursuant to this Section 2.03(c)(i) may be given by
telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice. 

(ii) Each Revolving Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) make funds available to Agent for the account
of the L/C Issuer at Agent’s Office in an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage for Revolving Loans of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice by Agent, whereupon, subject to the
provisions of Section 2.03(c)(iii), each Revolving Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made an Alternate Base Rate Loan that is a Revolving Loan to Borrower in such amount. Agent shall remit the funds so received
to the L/C Issuer. 
 (iii) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a Borrowing of Alternate
Base Rate Loans because the conditions set forth in Section 5.02 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is
not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. In such event, each Revolving Lender’s payment to Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer pursuant
to Section 2.03(c)(ii) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Revolving Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this
Section 2.03. 
 (iv) Until each Revolving Lender funds its Revolving Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to this
Section 2.03(c) to reimburse the L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage for Revolving Loans of such amount shall be solely for the account of
the L/C Issuer. 

  
 27 

 (v) Each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans or L/C Advances to
reimburse the L/C Issuer for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.03(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim,
recoupment, defense or other right which such Revolving Lender may have against the L/C Issuer, Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or
condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in
Section 5.02 (other than delivery by Borrower of a Loan Notice). No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of Borrower to reimburse the L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by the L/C
Issuer under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein. 
 (vi) If any Revolving Lender fails to make
available to Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Revolving Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03(c) by the time specified in Section 2.03(c)(ii), the L/C
Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Revolving Lender (acting through Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to
the L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the L/C issuer in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any reasonable administrative, processing or
similar fees customarily charged by the L/C Issuer in connection with the foregoing. If such Revolving Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Loan
included in the relevant Revolving Borrowing or L/C Advance in respect of the relevant L/C Borrowing, as the case may be. A certificate of the L/C Issuer submitted to any Revolving Lender (through Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this
clause (vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 (d) Repayment of Participations. 

(i) At any time after the L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Revolving Lender such
Revolving Lender’s L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.03(c), if Agent receives for the account of the L/C Issuer any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether
directly from Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by Agent), Agent will distribute to such Revolving Lender its Applicable Percentage for Revolving Loans thereof in the same funds as those received by Agent.

 (ii) If any payment received by Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) is
required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 11.05 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Revolving Lender shall pay to Agent for the account of the
L/C Issuer its Applicable Percentage for Revolving Loans thereof on demand of Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Revolving Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal
Funds Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of Revolving Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. 

(e) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of Borrower to reimburse the L/C Issuer for each drawing under each Letter of
Credit and to repay each L/C Borrowing shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following: 

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other Loan Document; 

(ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that any Loan Party or any Subsidiary may have at any time
against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the L/C Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions
contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction; 

  
 28 

 (iii) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit
proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing
under such Letter of Credit; 
 (iv) any payment by the L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft
or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by the L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the
benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law; or 

(v) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that
might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Loan Party or any Subsidiary. 
 Borrower shall promptly examine a
copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, Borrower will immediately notify the L/C Issuer. Borrower shall
be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the L/C Issuer and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid. 
 (f) Role of L/C Issuer. Each Revolving Lender and Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document
(other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such
document. None of the L/C Issuer, Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the L/C Issuer shall be liable to any Revolving Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith
at the request or with the approval of Revolving Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a
final and nonappealable judgment; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Issuer Document. Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions
of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude Borrower’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have
against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the L/C Issuer, Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the L/C Issuer, shall be liable or responsible for
any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (v) of Section 2.03(e); provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, Borrower may have a claim against the L/C Issuer, and
the L/C Issuer may be liable to Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to special, indirect, consequential or punitive, damages suffered by Borrower which Borrower proves were caused by the L/C Issuer’s
willful misconduct or gross negligence or the L/C Issuer’s grossly negligent or willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the
terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit, in each case as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the L/C Issuer may accept documents that appear
on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and the L/C Issuer shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or
assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason. 

  
 29 

 (g) Cash Collateral. Upon the request of Agent, (i) if the L/C Issuer has
honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C Borrowing, or (ii) if, as of the L/C Expiration Date, any L/C Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, Borrower shall, in each
case, immediately Cash Collateralize the then Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations in an amount equal to 105% thereof. For purposes hereof, “Cash Collateralize” means to pledge and deposit with or deliver to Agent, for the
benefit of the L/C Issuer and the Revolving Lenders, as collateral for the L/C Obligations, cash or deposit account balances pursuant to documentation in form and substance satisfactory to Agent and the L/C Issuer (which documents are hereby
consented to by the Revolving Lenders). Derivatives of such term have corresponding meanings. Borrower hereby grants to Agent, for the benefit of the L/C Issuer and the Revolving Lenders, a security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and
all balances therein and all proceeds of the foregoing. Cash Collateral shall be maintained in blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts at the Agent. 
 (h) Applicability of ISP and UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the L/C Issuer and Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued (including any such agreement applicable to an Existing
Letter of Credit), the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit, and the rules of the UCP shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit. 
 (i) L/C Fees. Borrower shall pay to Agent, for the account of each Revolving Lender in accordance with its Applicable Percentage for Revolving Loans, a fee (the “L/C Fee”) for each
standby Letter of Credit equal to the Applicable Rate times the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit and for each commercial Letter of Credit equal to an amount calculated in accordance with Agent’s standard fee
schedule as in effect from time to time. For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any standby Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.06. L/C
Fees for standby Letters of Credit shall be (i) due and payable on the date of issuance, on the last day of each March, June, September and December occurring while such Letter of Credit is outstanding, on the L/C Expiration Date and thereafter
on demand and (ii) computed in advance. L/C Fees on commercial Letters of Credit shall be due and payable on the date of issuance, increase, extension or amendment of a Letter of Credit and shall be fully earned and non-refundable when due. If
there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the daily amount available to be drawn under each Letter of Credit shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such
Applicable Rate was in effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon the request of the Required Lenders, while any Event of Default exists, all L/C Fees shall accrue at the Default Rate. 

(j) Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to L/C Issuer. Borrower shall pay directly to the L/C Issuer for its own
account the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of the L/C Issuer relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect. Such individual customary fees and standard
costs and charges are due and payable on demand and are nonrefundable. 
 (k) Conflict with Issuer Documents. In the
event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Issuer Documents, the terms hereof shall control. 
 2.04
Swing Line Loans. 
 (a) The Swing Line. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, Swing Line Lender
agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the Revolving Lenders set forth in this Section 2.04, to consider in its sole and absolute discretion making loans (each such loan, a “Swing Line Loan”) to Borrower from time to
time on any Business Day during the Availability Period for Revolving Loans in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of the Swing Line Sublimit, notwithstanding the fact that such Swing Line Loans, when aggregated with
the Applicable Percentage for Revolving Loans of the Outstanding Amount of Revolving Loans and L/C Obligations of the Revolving Lender acting as Swing Line Lender, may exceed the amount of such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment;
provided, however, that after giving effect to any Swing Line Loan, the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Loans of any Revolving Lender, plus such Revolving Lender’s 

  
 30 

 Applicable Percentage for Revolving Loans of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, plus such
Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage for Revolving Loans of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment. The Swing Line is a discretionary, uncommitted facility and Swing
Line Lender may terminate or suspend the Swing Line at any time in its sole discretion upon notice to Borrower and Agent (if other than the Swing Line Lender) which notice may be given by Swing Line Lender before or after Borrower requests a Swing
Line Loan hereunder. Each Swing Line Loan shall be an Alternate Base Rate Loan. Immediately upon the making of a Swing Line Loan, each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from Swing
Line Lender a risk participation in such Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to the product of such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage for Revolving Loans times the amount of such Swing Line Loan. 

(b) Borrowing Procedures. Unless the Swing Line has been terminated or suspended by the Swing Line Lender as provided in
subsection (a) above, each Swing Line Borrowing shall be made upon a Responsible Officer of the Borrower’s irrevocable notice to Swing Line Lender and Agent (if other than the Swing Line Lender), which may be given by telephone. Each such
notice must be received by Swing Line Lender and Agent, as applicable, not later than 1:00 p.m. on the requested borrowing date, and shall specify (i) the amount to be borrowed, and (ii) the requested borrowing date, which shall be a
Business Day. Each such telephonic notice from a Responsible Officer of Borrower must be confirmed promptly by delivery to Swing Line Lender and Agent, as applicable, of electronic (such as email) or written communication of the information
contained in a Swing Line Loan Notice, appropriately completed and, if in writing, signed by a Responsible Officer of Borrower. Promptly after receipt by Swing Line Lender of any telephonic Swing Line Loan Notice, Swing Line Lender will confirm with
Agent, if other than the Swing Line Lender, (by telephone, electronic communication or in writing) that Agent has also received such Swing Line Loan Notice and, if not, Swing Line Lender will notify Agent (by telephone, electronic communication or
in writing) of the contents thereof. Unless (x) the Swing Line has been terminated or suspended by the Swing Line Lender as provided in subsection (a) above, or (y) the Swing Line Lender has received notice (by telephone, electronic
communication or in writing) from Agent (including at the request of any Revolving Lender) prior to 2:00 p.m. on the date of the proposed Swing Line Borrowing (A) directing Swing Line Lender not to make such Swing Line Loan as a result of the
limitations set forth in the proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.04, or (B) that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Article V is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Swing
Line Lender will, not later than 3:00 p.m. on the borrowing date specified in such Swing Line Loan Notice, make the amount of its Swing Line Loan available to Borrower at its office by crediting the account of Borrower on the books of Swing Line
Lender in immediately available funds. Revolving Lenders agree that Swing Line Lender may agree to modify the borrowing procedures used in connection with the Swing Line in its discretion and without affecting any of the obligations of Revolving
Lenders hereunder other than notifying Agent of a Swing Line Loan Notice. 
 (c) Refinancing of Swing Line Loans.

 (i) Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may request, on behalf of Borrower (which hereby
irrevocably authorizes Swing Line Lender to so request on its behalf), that each Revolving Lender make an Alternate Base Rate Loan that is a Revolving Loan in an amount equal to such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage for Revolving Loans
of the amount of Swing Line Loans then outstanding. Such request shall be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a Loan Notice for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.02, without
regard to the minimum and multiples specified therein for the principal amount of Alternate Base Rate Loans, but subject to the unutilized portion of the aggregate Revolving Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 5.02. Swing
Line Lender shall furnish Borrower with a copy of the applicable Loan Notice promptly after delivering such notice to Agent, if other than Swing Line Lender. Each Revolving Lender shall make an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage for Revolving
Loans of the amount specified in such Loan Notice available to Agent in immediately available funds for the account of Swing Line Lender at Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the day specified in such Loan Notice, whereupon, subject to
Section 2.04(c)(ii), each Revolving Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made an Alternate Base Rate Loan that is a Revolving Loan to Borrowers in such amount. Agent shall remit the funds so received to Swing Line
Lender. 

  
 31 

 (ii) If for any reason any Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by such a Revolving
Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.04(c)(i), the request for Alternate Base Rate Loans submitted by Swing Line Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by Swing Line Lender that each of the Revolving Lenders fund
its risk participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan and each Revolving Lender’s payment to Agent for the account of Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(i) shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation.

 (iii) If any Revolving Lender fails to make available to Agent for the account of Swing Line Lender any amount required to be
paid by such Revolving Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.04(c) by the time specified in Section 2.04(c)(i), Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Revolving Lender (acting through
Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to Swing Line Lender at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds
Rate and a rate determined by Swing Line Lender in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by Swing Line Lender in connection with the
foregoing. If such Revolving Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Loan included in the relevant Revolving Borrowing or funded participation in the
relevant Swing Line Loan, as the case may be. A certificate of Swing Line Lender submitted to any Revolving Lender (through Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

(iv) Each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans or to purchase and fund risk participations in Swing Line Loans
pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Revolving Lender may have
against Swing Line Lender, Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing;
provided, however, that each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 5.02. No such funding of risk
participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of any Borrower to repay Swing Line Loans, together with interest as provided herein. 
 (d) Repayment of Participations. 
 (i) At any time after any Revolving
Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in a Swing Line Loan, if Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account of such Swing Line Loan, Swing Line Lender will distribute to such Revolving Lender (through Agent) its Applicable
Percentage for Revolving Loans thereof in the same funds as those received by Swing Line Lender. 
 (ii) If any payment received
by Swing Line Lender in respect of principal or interest on any Swing Line Loan is required to be returned by Swing Line Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 11.05 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into
by Swing Line Lender in its discretion), each Revolving Lender shall pay to Swing Line Lender its Applicable Percentage for Revolving Loans thereof on demand of Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount
is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate. Agent will make such demand upon the request of Swing Line Lender. The obligations of Revolving Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the
termination of this Agreement. 
 (e) Interest for Account of Swing Line Lender. Swing Line Lender shall be responsible
for invoicing Borrower for interest on the Swing Line Loans. Until each Revolving Lender funds its Alternate Base Rate Loan or risk participation pursuant to this Section 2.04 to refinance such Revolving Lender’s Applicable
Percentage for Revolving Loans of any Swing Line Loan, interest in respect of such Applicable Percentage shall be solely for the account of Swing Line Lender. 

  
 32 

 (f) Payments Directly to Swing Line Lender. Borrower shall make all payments of
principal and interest in respect of the Swing Line Loans directly to Swing Line Lender. 
 2.05 Prepayments.
(a) Within one (1) Business Day after receipt of Net Cash Proceeds of any Equity Offering, Borrower shall prepay Loans in an amount equal to 50% of such Net Cash Proceeds. Any such prepayment shall be applied proportionately to the
Revolving to Term Loans and Incremental Term Loans. After the Revolving to Term Loans and Incremental Term Loans have been repaid in full, any such amount shall be applied to prepayment of the Revolving Loans, and after payment in full of all Loans,
shall be applied to Cash Collateralize L/C Obligations. 
 (b) Borrower may, upon notice to Agent from Borrower, at any time or
from time to time voluntarily prepay Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty (except as described in subsection (c) below); provided that (i) such notice must be received by Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (A) two
Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans and (B) on the date of prepayment of Alternate Base Rate Loans; (ii) any prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole
multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof; and (iii) any prepayment of Alternate Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, in each case, if less, the entire principal amount
thereof then outstanding. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid and, if Eurodollar Rate Loans are to be prepaid, the Interest Period(s) of such Loans. Agent will promptly notify
each Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage for such Loans of such prepayment. If such notice is given by Borrower, Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount
specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. 
 (c) Any prepayment of Loans shall be
accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid and each prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be accompanied by any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05. Each such prepayment shall be applied to the Loans
of Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages in respect of such Loans. 
 (d) Borrower may, upon notice
to Swing Line Lender from Borrower (with a copy to Agent, if other than the Swing Line Lender), at any time or from time to time, voluntarily prepay Swing Line Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (i) such
notice must be received by Swing Line Lender and Agent, as applicable, not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date of the prepayment. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment. If such notice is given by Borrower, Borrower shall
make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. 

(e) If for any reason the total amount of Letters of Credit, Revolving Loans and Swing Line Loans at any time exceed the aggregate
Revolving Commitments, Borrower shall immediately prepay Revolving Loans and/or Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations in an aggregate amount equal to such excess; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be required to Cash
Collateralize the L/C Obligations pursuant to this Section 2.05 unless after the prepayment in full of the Revolving Loans and Swing Line Loans, the L/C Obligations exceed the aggregate Revolving Commitments then in effect. 

(f) Each prepayment of Revolving to Term Loans and Incremental Term Loans shall be applied proportionately to installments payable
thereon pursuant to Section 2.07 in the inverse order of maturity. 
 2.06 Termination or Reduction of
Commitments. (a) Borrower may, upon notice from Borrower to Agent, terminate the aggregate Revolving Commitments, or from time to time permanently reduce the aggregate Revolving Commitments; provided that (i) any such notice
shall be received by Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. five Business Days prior to the date of termination or reduction, (ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $5,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess
thereof, (iii) Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the aggregate Revolving Commitments if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the Total Outstandings of Revolving Loan, Swing Line Loans and L/C
Obligations would exceed the aggregate Revolving 

  
 33 

 
Commitments and (iv) if, after giving effect to any such reduction of the aggregate Revolving Commitments, the L/C Sublimit or the Swing Line Sublimit exceeds the amount of the aggregate
Revolving Commitments, such sublimit shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such excess. Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any such notice of termination or reduction of the aggregate Revolving Commitments. Any reduction of the
aggregate Revolving Commitments shall be applied to the Revolving Commitment of each Lender according to its Applicable Percentage for Revolving Loans. All fees accrued until the effective date of any termination of the aggregate Revolving
Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of such termination. 
 (b) Borrower may, upon notice from Borrower to Agent,
terminate the Revolving to Term Commitments, or from time to time permanently reduce the aggregate Revolving to Term Commitments; provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. five Business Days
prior to the date of termination or reduction and (ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $1,000,000 or any whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any such notice of
termination or reduction of the Revolving to Term Commitments. Any reduction of the aggregate Revolving to Term Commitments shall be applied to the Revolving to Term Commitment of each Lender according to its Applicable Percentage. 

(c) The Revolving to Term Commitments shall terminate on the earlier of January 15, 2013 and the date on which Revolving to Term
Loans are made pursuant to Section 2.01(b)(iii). 
 2.07 Repayment of Loans. (a) Borrower agrees to
repay to Lenders on the Maturity Date the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Loans outstanding on such date. 
 (b)
Borrower agrees to repay each Swing Line Loan on the earlier to occur of (a) the date five Business Days after such Loan is made or (b) such earlier date as shall be acceptable to the Swing Line Lender. 

(c) Borrower agrees to repay Revolving to Term Loans on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, beginning
March 31, 2011 in installments of principal equal to: 
  

					
	Dates of Payment	  	Amount	 
		
	 On the last day of each March, June, September and December falling during the following period:
	  			
		
	 March 31, 2011 through December 31, 2012
	  	$	2,000,000	  
		
	 March 31, 2013 and the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December thereafter
	  	$	2,500,000	  

 (d) Borrower agrees
to repay Incremental Term Loans made pursuant to Section 2.14 on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December beginning on the first such date occurring after such disbursement equal to: 

 

			
	Dates of Payment	  	Amount
		
	 On the last day of each March, June, September and December falling during the following period:
	  	One-quarter (1/4) of the percentage of the initial amount of such Term Loans indicated below:
		
	 The first two years after the making of such Incremental Term Loans
	  	10%
		
	Each year thereafter	  	13%

  
 34 

 (e) Borrower agrees to repay to Lenders on the Maturity Date the aggregate principal amount
of Revolving to Term Loans and Incremental Term Loans outstanding on such date. 
 2.08 Interest. (a) Subject to the
provisions of subsection (b) below, (i) each Eurodollar Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period
plus the Applicable Rate and (ii) each Alternate Base Rate Loan (including each Swing Line Loan) shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the
Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate. 
 (b) (i) If any amount of principal of any Loan is not paid when due
(without regard to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable Laws. 
 (ii) If any amount (other than principal of any Loan) payable by Borrower under any Loan
Document is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, then upon the request of the Required Lenders, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating
interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws. 
 (iii) Upon
the request of the Required Lenders, while any Event of Default exists, Borrower shall pay interest on the principal amount of all outstanding Obligations (other than the Cash Management Obligations and the Permitted Hedge Obligations) hereunder at
a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws. 
 (iv) Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand. 

(c) Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and, to the extent
accrued, when each Loan is prepaid or repaid and at such other times as may be specified herein. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any
proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law. 
 2.09 Fees. 

(a) Borrower shall pay to Agent, for the account of each Revolving Lender in accordance with its Applicable Percentage for Revolving
Loans, an unused fee equal to the Applicable Rate times the actual daily amount by which the aggregate Revolving Commitments exceed the sum of the Outstanding Amount of Revolving Loans and Swing Line Loans and the Outstanding Amount of L/C
Obligations. The revolving unused fee shall accrue at all times during the Availability Period for Revolving Loans, including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in Article V is not met, and shall be due and payable in
arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December commencing with the first such date to occur after the Closing Date and on the last day such Availability Period. 

(b) Borrower shall pay to Agent, for the account of each Lender in accordance with its Applicable Percentage of Revolving to Term Loans,
an unused fee equal to the Applicable Rate times the actual daily amount by which the Aggregate Revolving to Term Commitment exceeds the Outstanding Amount of Revolving to Term Loans. The revolving to term unused fee shall accrue at all times
during the Availability Period for Revolving to Term Loans, including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in Article V is not met, and shall be due and payable in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June,
September and December commencing with the first such date to occur after the Closing Date and on the last day such Availability Period; 

  
 35 

 (c) Borrower shall pay to Agent, for the account of each Lender in accordance with its
Applicable Percentage of Incremental Term Loans, an unused fee equal to the Applicable Rate times the Aggregate Incremental Term Commitment, during the period from and including the date on which Lenders make Incremental Term Commitments
pursuant to Section 2.14 until the date on which Incremental Term Loans are made or such Incremental Term Commitments are terminated. The incremental term unused fee shall accrue at all times during the periods indicated in the preceding
sentence, including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in Article V is not met, and shall be due and payable in arrears on the date when Incremental Term Loans are made or the Incremental Term Commitments terminate.

 (d) In addition to fees described elsewhere in this Agreement, Borrower shall pay to Agent for Agent’s own account, fees
in the amounts and at the times specified in the Agent Fee Letter. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall be nonrefundable for any reason whatsoever. 
 2.10 Computation of Interest and Fees. All computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as
applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion
is paid; provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall bear interest for one day. Each determination by Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent
manifest error. 
 2.11 Evidence of Debt. (a) The Credit Extensions made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or
more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by
Lenders to Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of any Loan Party to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In
the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request
of any Lender made through Agent, Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through Agent) a Note, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and
endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto. 
 (b) In
addition to the accounts and records referred to in subsection (a), each Lender and Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records evidencing the purchases and sales by such Lender of participations in Letters of
Credit and Swing Line Loans. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of Agent shall control in the absence of
manifest error. 
 2.12 Payments Generally; Agent’s Clawback. (a) General. All payments to be made by
Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by Borrower hereunder shall be made to Agent, for the account of the respective
Lenders to which such payment is owed, at Agent’s Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 12:00 noon on the date specified herein. Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Applicable Percentage for the
applicable Loans (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by Agent after 12:00 noon shall be deemed received on the next
succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. If any payment to be made by Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such
extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be. 

  
 36 

 (b) (i) Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Agent. Unless Agent shall have
received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Loans (or, in the case of any Borrowing of Alternate Base Rate Loans, prior to 12:00 noon on the date of such Borrowing) that such Lender will not make available to Agent such
Lender’s share of such Borrowing, Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.02 (or, in the case of a Borrowing of Alternate Base Rate Loans, that such Lender has made
such share available in accordance with and at the time required by Section 2.02) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of
the applicable Borrowing available to Agent, then the applicable Lender and Borrower agrees to pay to Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date
such amount is made available to Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by Agent in accordance with banking
industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by Agent in connection with the foregoing and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by Borrower, the interest rate applicable to
Alternate Base Rate Loans. If Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to Agent for the same or an overlapping period, Agent shall promptly remit to Borrower the amount of such interest paid by Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays
its share of the applicable Borrowing to Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim Borrower may have against a Lender that
shall have failed to make such payment to Agent. 
 (ii) Payments by Borrower; Presumptions by Agent. Unless Agent shall
have received notice from Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to Agent for the account of the Lenders or the L/C Issuer hereunder that Borrower will not make such payment, Agent may assume that Borrower has made such payment on
such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of Lenders or the L/C
Issuer, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, in immediately available funds 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 Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. A notice of Agent to any Lender or
Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. 
 (c)
Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. If any Lender makes available to Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to Borrower
by Agent because the conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth in Article IV are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such
Lender, without interest. 
 (d) Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of Lenders hereunder to make Loans, to
fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans and to make payments under Section 11.04(c) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any payment under
Section 11.04(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan,
purchase its participation or to make any other payment required of it hereunder or under any of Loan Document. 
 (e)
Funding Source. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any
Loan in any particular place or manner. 
 2.13 Sharing of Payments. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of
setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of the Loans made by it, or the participations in L/C Obligations or Swing Line Loans held by it resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment
of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such Loans or participations and accrued interest thereon greater than its Applicable Percentage for the applicable Loans thereof as provided herein, then

  
 37 

 
the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the applicable Loans and subparticipations
in L/C Obligations or Swing Line Loans of the other Lenders, as the case may be, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the applicable Lenders ratably in accordance with the
aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them; provided that: 
 (i) if any such participations or subparticipations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations or subparticipations shall be rescinded and
the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and 
 (ii) the provisions of this Section shall
not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation
in any of its Loans or subparticipations in L/C Obligations to any assignee or participant, other than to Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply). 

2.14 Additional Commitments. 
 (a) Requests for Increase. Provided there exists no Default, upon notice to Agent (who shall promptly notify the Lenders), Borrower may request in writing delivered at any time during the period
from the Closing Date until the date that is ninety (90) days prior to the Maturity Date additional term commitments (“Incremental Term Commitments”) and/or Revolving Commitments from the Lenders of not less than $1,000,000 and
in an aggregate amount not to exceed $50,000,000, of which additional Revolving Commitment shall not be more than $20,000,000 in the aggregate. No more than three such requests may be made. At the time of sending such notice, Borrower (in
consultation with Agent) shall specify the time period within which each Lender is requested to respond (which shall in no event be less than ten Business Days from the date of delivery of such notice to the Lenders). 

(b) Lender Response. Each Lender shall notify Agent within such time period whether or not it agrees to increase its Term
Commitment and/or Revolving commitment and, if so, the maximum amount by which it is willing to make an Incremental Term Commitment and/or an additional Revolving Commitment. Any Lender not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have
declined to make an Incremental Term Commitment and to increase Revolving Commitment. Agent shall notify Borrower and each Lender of the Lenders’ responses to each request made hereunder. To achieve the full amount of a requested increase and
subject to the approval of Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), Borrower may also invite additional Eligible Assignees to become Lenders pursuant to a joinder agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Agent and its
counsel. If Incremental Term Commitments are made or Revolving Commitments are increased in accordance with this Section 2.14, Agent and Borrower shall determine the effective date (the “Increase Effective Date”) and the
final allocation of such increase. Agent shall promptly notify Borrower and the Lenders of the final allocation of such increase and the Increase Effective Date. 
 (c) Conditions Precedent. As conditions precedent to or concurrent with such Incremental Term Commitments and/or increase in Revolving Commitments: 

(i) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the Increase Effective Date either before or after giving effect to such
increase, and Agent shall have received evidence satisfactory to it that, after giving effect to Borrowings of Incremental Term Loans and/or Revolving Loans in the aggregate amount of the Incremental Term Commitments and/or Revolving Loans, Borrower
will be in compliance with this Agreement; 
 (iii) Borrower shall do, execute, acknowledge, deliver, record, re-record, file,
re-file, register and re-register any and all such further acts as Agent or any Lender through Agent may reasonably require from time to time in order to (A) carry out more effectively the purposes of the Loan Documents, (B) to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable law, subject any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries’ 

  
 38 

 
properties, assets, rights or interests to the Liens now or hereafter required to be covered by any of the Security Documents, (C) perfect and maintain the validity, effectiveness and
priority of any of the Security Documents and any of the Liens required to be created thereunder and (D) assure, convey, grant, assign, transfer, preserve, protect and conform more effectively unto the Lenders the rights granted or now or
hereafter intended to be granted to the Lenders under any Loan Document or under any other instrument executed in connection with any Loan Document to which any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries is or is to be a party; 

(iv) deliver to Agent a certificate of each Loan Party dated as of the Increase Effective Date (in sufficient copies for each Lender)
signed by a Responsible Officer of each such Person (i) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by such Person approving or consenting to such increase and (ii) in the case of Borrower, certifying that, before and after giving
effect to such increase, (A) the representations and warranties contained in Article VI and the other Loan Documents are true and correct on and as of the Increase Effective Date, except to the extent that such representations and
warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct as of such earlier date, and except that for purposes of this Section 2.14, the representations and warranties contained in
Section 6.01(a) shall be deemed to refer to the most recent audited financial statements furnished pursuant to clause (a) of Section 7.01 and the representations and warranties contained in Section 6.01(b)
shall be deemed to refer to the most recent balance sheet furnished pursuant to clauses (a) or (b) of Section 7.01 and (B) no Default exists or will result from such increase; 

(v) make arrangements to make any prepayments of any Revolving to Term Loans and/or Revolving Loans outstanding on the Increase Effective
Date to the extent necessary to keep the outstanding Incremental Term Loans and Revolving to Term Loans ratable with any revised Applicable Percentage for Incremental Term Loans and Revolving to Term Loans and to keep the outstanding Revolving Loans
ratable with any revised Applicable Percentage for Revolving Loans arising from any nonratable increase in the Commitments under this Section 2.14, and in connection with any such prepayments pay any additional amounts required pursuant
to Article III; provided, however, that no such increase shall be made on a nonratable basis without the prior written consent of Agent; and 
 (vi) pay to Agent and the Lenders such upfront and other fees as they shall require in connection with such increase. 
 (d) Conflicting Provisions. This Section 2.14 shall supersede any contrary provision in this Agreement with respect to ratable sharing by the Lenders. 

ARTICLE III. TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION, ILLEGALITY 
 AND REPLACEMENT OF LENDERS 
 3.01 Taxes. (a) Payments Free
of Taxes. Any and all payments by any Loan Party to or on account of any obligation hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes;
provided, that if such Loan Party shall be required by any applicable law to deduct any Indemnified Taxes (including any Other Taxes) from such payments, then, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all
required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section), Agent, Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made,
(ii) such Loan Party shall make such deductions, and (iii) such Loan Party shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 

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

  
 39 

 (c) Indemnification by Loan Parties. Borrower shall indemnify Agent, each Lender and
the L/C Issuer, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid by
Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or
asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrower by a Lender or the L/C Issuer (with a copy to Agent), or by Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or the
L/C Issuer, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
 (d) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any
payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority, such Loan Party shall deliver to 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 Agent. 
 (e) Status of
Lenders. Any Lender, if requested by Borrower or Agent, shall deliver such documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Borrower or Agent as will enable Borrower or Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is
subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. 
 (f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If Agent, any
Lender or the L/C Issuer determines, in its sole discretion, reasonably exercised, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by Borrower or with respect to which a Loan Party has paid additional
amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to Borrower or such other Loan Party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by Borrower or such other Loan Party under this
Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant
Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that Borrower or such other Loan Party, upon the request of Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, agrees to repay the amount paid over to Borrower or such other Loan Party
(plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer in the event Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer is required to repay such refund to such Governmental
Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection, in no event will Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this subsection the payment of which would place Agent,
such Lender or the L/C Issuer in a less favorable net after-tax position than Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This
subsection shall not be construed to require Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to Borrower or any other Person. 

3.02 Illegality. If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that
it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Eurodollar Rate Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions
on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to Borrower through Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurodollar Rate
Loans or to convert Alternate Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies Agent and Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, Borrower
shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Eurodollar Rate Loans of such Lender to Alternate Base Rate Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully
continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the
amount so prepaid or converted and all amounts due under Section 3.05 in accordance with the terms thereof due to such prepayment or conversion. 

  
 40 

 3.03 Inability to Determine Rates. If Agent reasonably determines in connection with
any request for a Eurodollar Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof that (a) Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Eurodollar
Rate Loan, (b) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurodollar Base Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan, or (c) the Eurodollar Base Rate for any requested
Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, Agent will promptly so notify Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of Lenders to
make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or
continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Alternate Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein. 

3.04 Increased Costs (a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall: 

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar
requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in the Eurodollar Rate) or the L/C Issuer; 

(ii) subject any Lender or the L/C Issuer to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of
Credit, any participation in a Letter of Credit or any Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender or the L/C Issuer in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by
Section 3.01 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by such Lender or the L/C Issuer); or 
 (iii) impose on any Lender or the L/C Issuer or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Rate Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of
Credit or participation therein; 
 and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining
any Eurodollar Rate Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender or the L/C Issuer of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to
participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or the L/C Issuer hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or the L/C
Issuer describing in reasonable detail the basis therefor, Borrower will pay to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, for such
additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. 
 (b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender or the L/C Issuer determines
that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or the L/C Issuer or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the
rate of return on such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by,
or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the L/C Issuer, to a level below that which such Lender or the L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company could reasonably
have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from
time to time upon notice describing in reasonable detail the basis therefor Borrower will pay to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer or such
Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. 

  
 41 

 (c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or the L/C Issuer
setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to Borrower shall be conclusive
absent manifest error. Borrower shall pay such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof. 

(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the L/C Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to the
foregoing provisions of this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s right to demand such compensation; provided that Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the L/C Issuer
pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, notifies Borrower of the Change in Law
giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then
the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof). 
 3.05
Compensation for Losses. Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to Agent) from time to time, Borrower shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:

 (a) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan other than an Alternate Base Rate Loan on a day other
than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise); or 
 (b) any failure by Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Loan other than an Alternate Base Rate Loan on the date or in the
amount notified by Borrower; including any loss of reasonably anticipated profits and any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from
which such funds were obtained. 
 Borrower shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in
connection with the foregoing. For purposes of calculating amounts payable by Borrower to Lenders under this Section 3.05, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it at the Eurodollar Base Rate used
in determining the Eurodollar Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank Eurodollar market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurodollar Rate Loan was in fact so funded.

 3.06 Mitigation Obligations. (a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests
compensation under Section 3.04, or Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender gives a notice
pursuant to Section 3.02, 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, reasonably exercised, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04, as the case may be, in the
future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 3.02, as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such
Lender. Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. 

  
 42 

 (b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under
Section 3.04, or Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to
Section 3.02, or if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, then Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse
(in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 11.06(b), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall
assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided, that: 
 (i) Borrower shall have paid to Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 11.06(b)(iv); 
 (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, funded participations in L/C Borrowings, funded participations in Swing Line Loans, accrued
interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 3.05) from the assignee or Borrower); 

(iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.04 or
payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and 
 (iv) such assignment does not conflict with applicable law. 
 A Lender shall not
be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. 

3.07 Survival. All of Borrower’s obligations under this Article III shall survive termination of the Aggregate
Commitments and repayment of all other Obligations hereunder. 
 ARTICLE IV. GUARANTY 

4.01 Guaranty. Each Guarantor hereby absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to the Guaranteed and Secured Parties the prompt
payment and performance when due (whether at its maturity, by lapse of time, by acceleration or otherwise) of the Guaranteed Obligations. This is a guaranty of payment, not of collection. If Borrower defaults in the payment when due of the
Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof, such Guarantor shall in lawful money of the United States pay on demand, all sums due and owing on such Guaranteed Obligations, including all interest, charges, fees and other sums, costs and expenses.

 4.02 Guaranty to be Absolute. Each Guarantor expressly agrees that until the Guaranteed Obligations are paid
and performed in full and each and every term, covenant and condition of this Guaranty is fully performed, such Guarantor shall not be released by or because of: (a) any act or event which might otherwise discharge, reduce, limit or modify such
Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty; (b) any waiver, extension, modification, forbearance, delay or other act or omission of Agent or any Lender or their failure to proceed promptly or otherwise as against Borrower, any Guarantor
or any security; (c) any action, omission or circumstance which might increase the likelihood that such Guarantor may be called upon to perform under this Guaranty or which might affect the rights or remedies of such Guarantor as against
Borrower; or (d) any dealings occurring at any time between Borrower and any Lender, whether relating to the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise. Each Guarantor hereby expressly waives and surrenders any defense to its liability under this
Guaranty based upon any of the foregoing acts, omissions, agreements, waivers or matters. It is the purpose and intent of this Guaranty that the obligations of each Guarantor under it shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all
circumstances. 

  
 43 

 4.03 Authorized Action. Each Guarantor authorizes the Guaranteed and Secured
Parties to perform any or all of the following acts at any time in their sole discretion, all without notice to such Guarantor and without affecting such Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty: (a) alter any terms of the Guaranteed
Obligations or any part of them, including renewing, compromising, extending or accelerating, or otherwise changing the time for payment of, or increasing or decreasing the rate of interest on, the Guaranteed Obligations or any part of them;
(b) take and hold security for the Guaranteed Obligations or this Guaranty, accept additional or substituted security for either, and subordinate, exchange, enforce, waive, release, compromise, fail to perfect and sell or otherwise dispose of
any such security; (c) direct the order and manner of any sale of all or any part of any security now or later to be held for the Guaranteed Obligations or this Guaranty, and also bid at any such sale; (d) apply any payments or recoveries
from Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other source, and any proceeds of any security, to Borrower’s obligations under the Credit Agreement in accordance with the Credit Agreement or, if not so provided therein, in such manner, order and
priority as Agent and the Lenders may elect, whether or not those obligations are guaranteed by this Guaranty or secured at the time of the application; (e) release Borrower of its liability for any obligations comprising the Guaranteed
Obligations or any part thereof; (f) substitute, add or release any one or more guarantors or endorsers; and (g) in addition to the extensions of credit accommodations under the Credit Agreement, any Lender may extend other credit to
Borrower, and may take and hold security for the credit so extended, all without affecting such Guarantor’s liability under this Guaranty. 
 4.04 Guarantors’ Waivers. Each Guarantor waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law: (a) all statutes of limitations as a defense to any action or proceeding brought against such
Guarantor by the Guaranteed and Secured Parties; (b) any right it may have to require the Guaranteed and Secured Parties to proceed against Borrower or any Guarantor, proceed against or exhaust any security held from Borrower or any Guarantor,
or pursue any other remedy in the Guaranteed and Secured Parties’ power to pursue; (c) any defense based on any claim that such Guarantor’s obligations exceed or are more burdensome than those of Borrower or any other Guarantor;
(d) any defense based on: (i) any legal disability of Borrower or any other Guarantor, (ii) any release, discharge, modification, impairment or limitation of the liability of Borrower or any Guarantor to the Guaranteed and Secured
Parties from any cause, whether consented to by the Guaranteed and Secured Parties or arising by operation of law or from any Debtor Relief Laws and (iii) any rejection or disaffirmance of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any part thereof, or any
security held therefor, pursuant to any such Debtor Relief Laws; (e) any defense based on any action taken or omitted by the Guaranteed and Secured Parties in any Debtor Relief Law proceeding involving Borrower or any Guarantor, including any
election to have the claims of the Guaranteed and Secured Parties allowed as being secured, partially secured or unsecured, any extension of credit by the Guaranteed and Secured Parties to Borrower or any Guarantor in any such proceeding, and the
taking and holding by Agent or any Lender of any security for any such extension of credit; (f) all presentments, demands for performance, notice of intention to accelerate, notice of acceleration, notices of nonperformance, protests, notices
of protest, notices of dishonor, notices of acceptance of this Guaranty and of the existence, creation, or incurring of new or additional indebtedness, and demands and notices of every kind; and (g) any defense based on or arising out of any
defense that Borrower or any Guarantor may have to the payment or performance of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part of them. 
 4.05 Waivers of Subrogation and Other Rights. (a) Upon a default by Borrower, the Guaranteed and Secured Parties, in their sole discretion, without prior notice to or consent of the
Guarantors, may elect to: (i) foreclose either judicially or nonjudicially against any real or personal property security it may hold for the Guaranteed Obligations, (ii) accept a transfer of any such security in lien of foreclosure,
(iii) compromise or adjust the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof or make any other accommodation with Borrower or any Guarantor, or (iv) exercise any other remedy against Borrower, any Guarantor or any security. No such action by
the Guaranteed and Secured Parties shall release or limit the liability of the Guarantors, who shall remain liable under this Guaranty after the action, even if the effect of the action is to deprive the Guarantors of any subrogation rights, rights
of indemnity, or other rights to collect reimbursement from Borrower or any Guarantor for any sums paid to the Guaranteed and Secured Parties, whether contractual or arising by operation of law or otherwise. Each Guarantor expressly agrees that
under no circumstances shall it be deemed to have any right, title, interest or claim in or to any real or personal property to be held by the Guaranteed and Secured Parties or any third party after any foreclosure or transfer in lieu of foreclosure
of any security for the Guaranteed Obligations. 

  
 44 

 (b) Regardless of whether any Guarantor may have made any payments to the Guaranteed and
Secured Parties, each Guarantor forever waives: (i) all rights of subrogation, all rights of indemnity, and any other rights to collect reimbursement from Borrower and any other Guarantor for any sums paid to the Guaranteed and Secured Parties,
whether contractual or arising by operation of law (including the Bankruptcy Code or any successor or similar statute) or otherwise, (ii) all rights to enforce any remedy that Agent or any Lender may have against Borrower or any other
Guarantor, and (iii) all rights to participate in any security now or later to be held by the Guaranteed and Secured Parties for the Guaranteed Obligations. 
 4.06 Right to Non-judicially Foreclose. The Guaranteed and Secured Parties may, at their election, foreclose on any security held for the Guaranteed Obligations by one or more judicial or
nonjudicial sales, or exercise any other right or remedy the Guaranteed and Secured Parties may have against Borrower, or any security, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of the Guarantors hereunder except to the extent the
Guaranteed Obligations have been paid. Each Guarantor unconditionally and irrevocably waives all rights and defenses that such Guarantor may have because the Guaranteed Obligations are or become secured by real property. This means, among other
things: (a) the Guaranteed and Secured Parties may collect from the Guarantors without first foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral pledged by Borrower; (b) if the Guaranteed and Secured Parties foreclose on any real
property collateral pledged by Borrower: (i) the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations may be reduced only by the price for which that collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the sale price, and
(ii) the Guaranteed and Secured Parties may collect from the Guarantors even if such foreclosure operates, pursuant to applicable law, to impair or extinguish any right of the Guarantors against Borrower or each other. Each Guarantor
understands and acknowledges that if the Guaranteed and Secured Parties foreclose judicially or nonjudicially against any real property security for Borrower’s obligations, such foreclosure could impair or destroy any right or ability that such
Guarantor may have to seek reimbursement, contribution, or indemnification for any amounts paid by such Guarantor under this Guaranty. Each Guarantor further understands and acknowledges that in the absence of this waiver such potential impairment
or destruction of such Guarantor’s rights, if any, may entitle such Guarantor to assert a defense to this Guaranty based on California Code of Civil Procedure §580d as interpreted in Union Bank v. Gradsky, 265 Cal. App. 2d 40, 71
Cal. Rptr. 64 (1968), on the grounds, among others, that the Guaranteed and Secured Parties should be estopped from pursuing such Guarantor because the Guaranteed and Secured Parties’ election to foreclose may have impaired or destroyed such
subrogation, reimbursement, contribution, or indemnification rights of such Guarantor. By execution of this Guaranty, each Guarantor intentionally, freely, irrevocably, and unconditionally: (i) waives and relinquishes that defense and agrees
that such Guarantor will be liable, on a joint and several basis, under this Guaranty even though the Guaranteed and Secured Parties had foreclosed judicially or nonjudicially against any real or personal property collateral for Borrower’s
obligations; (ii) agrees that such Guarantor will not assert that defense in any action or proceeding which the Guaranteed and Secured Parties may begin to enforce this Guaranty; and (iii) acknowledges and agrees that the rights and
defenses waived by such Guarantor in this Guaranty include any right or defense that such Guarantor may have or be entitled to assert based on or arising out of any one or more of California Code of Civil Procedure §§580a, 580b, 580d, or
726, or California Civil Code §2848. Without limiting the foregoing, each Guarantor waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by the Guaranteed and Secured Parties, even though that election of remedies, such as
nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for the Guaranteed Obligations, has destroyed such Guarantor’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against the principal by the operation of Section 580d of the California Code of Civil
Procedure. Each Guarantor intentionally, freely, irrevocably and unconditionally waives and relinquishes all rights which may be available to it under any provision of California law or under any California judicial decision, including, without
limitation, Section 580a and 726(b) of the California Code of Civil Procedure, to limit the amount of any deficiency judgment or other judgment which may be obtained 

  
 45 

 
against such Guarantor under this Guaranty to not more than the amount by which the unpaid Guaranteed Obligations plus all other indebtedness due from Borrower under the Credit Agreement, the
other Loan Documents, the Cash Management Agreement and the Permitted Hedge Agreement exceeds the fair market value or fair value of any real or personal property securing said Guaranteed Obligations and any other indebtedness due from the Loan
Parties under the Loan Documents, the Cash Management Agreements and the Permitted Hedge Agreements, including, without limitation, all rights to an appraisement of, judicial or other hearing on, or other determination of the value of said property.
Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that, as a result of the foregoing waiver, the Guaranteed and Secured Parties may be entitled to recover from such Guarantor an amount which, when combined with the value of any real or personal property
foreclosed upon by the Guaranteed and Secured Parties (or the proceeds of the sale of which have been received by the Guaranteed and Secured Parties) and any sums collected by the Guaranteed and Secured Parties from Borrower or other persons, might
exceed the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations plus all other indebtedness due from Borrower under the Loan Documents, the Cash Management Agreements and the Permitted Hedge Agreements. 

4.07 Revival and Reinstatement. If the Guaranteed and Secured Parties are required to pay, return or restore to Borrower or any
other Person any amounts previously paid on the Guaranteed Obligations because of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws, any stop notice or any other reason, the obligations of the Guarantors shall be reinstated and revived, and the rights of
the Guaranteed and Secured Parties shall continue with regard to such amounts, all as though they had never been paid. 

4.08 Information Regarding Borrower. Before signing this Guaranty, each Guarantor investigated the financial condition and
business operations of the Loan Parties and such other matters as such Guarantor deemed appropriate to assure itself of each Loan Party’s ability to discharge its obligations under the Loan Documents, the Cash Management Agreements and the
Permitted Hedge Agreements. Each Guarantor assumes full responsibility for that due diligence, as well as for keeping informed of all matters which may affect Borrower’s ability to pay and perform its obligations hereunder. The Guaranteed and
Secured Parties do not have any duty to disclose to the Guarantors any information which they may have or receive about Borrower’s financial condition, business operations, or any other circumstances bearing on its ability to perform.

 4.09 Subordination. Any rights of the Guarantors, whether now existing or later arising, to receive payment on account
of any Indebtedness (including interest) owed to it by Borrower or any subsequent owner of any real property collateral for the Guaranteed Obligations, or to withdraw capital invested by it in Borrower, or to receive distributions from Borrower,
shall at all times be subordinate as to Lien and time of payment and in all other respects to the full and prior repayment to the Guaranteed and Secured Parties of the Guaranteed Obligations. Each Guarantor shall not be entitled to enforce or
receive payment of any sums hereby subordinated until the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid and performed in full and any such sums received in violation of this Guaranty shall be received by such Guarantor in trust for the Guaranteed and
Secured Parties. 
 4.10 Additional and Independent Obligations. Each Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty
are in addition to its obligations under any other existing or future guaranties, each of which shall remain in full force and effect until it is expressly modified or released in a writing signed by the beneficiary of such other guaranty or
guaranties. Each Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty are independent of those of Borrower on the Guaranteed Obligations. The Guaranteed and Secured Parties may bring a separate action, or commence a separate reference or arbitration
proceeding against a Guarantor without first proceeding against Borrower, any other Person or any security that Agent or any Lender may hold, and without pursuing any other remedy. The Guaranteed and Secured Parties rights under this Guaranty shall
not be exhausted by any action by the Guaranteed and Secured Parties until the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid and performed in full. 

  
 46 

 ARTICLE V. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO CREDIT EXTENSIONS 

5.01 Conditions of Initial Credit Extension. The obligation of the L/C Issuer and each Lender to make its initial Credit Extension

 (a) Agent’s receipt of the following, each
of which shall be originals or telecopies (followed promptly by originals) unless otherwise specified, each properly executed by a Responsible Officer of the signing Loan Party, each dated the Closing Date (or, in the case of certificates of

to which such Loan Party is a party; 
 (iv) such documents and certifications as Agent may reasonably require to evidence that
each Loan Party is duly organized or formed, and that each Loan Party is validly existing, in good standing and qualified to engage in business in each jurisdiction where its ownership, lease or operation of properties or the conduct of its business
requires such qualification, except to the extent that failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; 
 (v) a certificate of a Responsible Officer of each Loan Party either (A) attaching copies of all consents, licenses and approvals required in connection with the execution, delivery and performance
by such Loan Party and the validity against such Loan Party of the Loan Documents to which it is a party, and such consents, licenses and approvals shall be in full force and effect, or (B) stating that no such consents, licenses or approvals
are so required; 
 (vi) a certificate signed by a Responsible Officer of Borrower certifying (A) that the conditions
specified in Sections 5.02(a) and (b) have been satisfied, and (B) that there has been no event or circumstance since the date of the Audited Financial Statements that has had or could be reasonably expected to have, either

Liens, other than Permitted Liens. 
 6.12 No Default. Neither any Loan Party nor any Subsidiary thereof is in default
under or with respect to any Contractual Obligation and no Default has occurred under this Agreement or any Loan Document that, in any case, could, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

any Loan Party to Agent or any Lender in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and the negotiation of this Agreement or delivered hereunder or under any other Loan Document (in each case, as modified or supplemented by other
information so furnished) contains any material misstatement of fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided that,
with respect to projected financial information, Borrower represents only that such information was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time. 

6.15 Compliance with Laws. Each Loan Party and each Material Subsidiary thereof is in compliance in all material respects with the
requirements of all Laws and all orders, writs, injunctions and decrees applicable to it or to its properties, except in such instances in which (a) such requirement of Law or order, writ, injunction or decree is being contested in good faith
by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted or (b) the failure to comply therewith, either individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

6.16 Environmental Compliance. To the best of its knowledge, the operations of American Vanguard and each of its Subsidiaries
comply substantially, and during the term of this Agreement will at all times comply substantially, in all respects with all applicable Environmental Laws; American Vanguard and each of its Subsidiaries has obtained licenses, permits, authorizations
and registrations required under applicable Environmental Law (“Environmental Permits”) and necessary for its ordinary operations, all such Environmental Permits are in good standing, and American Vanguard and each of its
Subsidiaries is in compliance with all material terms and conditions of such Environmental Permits; neither American Vanguard nor any of its Subsidiaries nor any of their respective present properties or operations are subject to any outstanding

Hazardous Materials or other conditions or circumstances existing, or arising from operations prior to the date of this Agreement, with respect to any property of American Vanguard or any of its Subsidiaries that would reasonably be expected to give
rise to Environmental Claims; provided, however, that with respect to property leased from an unrelated third party, the foregoing representation is made to the best knowledge of each Loan Party. In addition (i) neither American
Vanguard nor any of its Subsidiaries has or maintains any underground storage tanks which are not properly registered or permitted under applicable Environmental Laws or which are leaking or disposing of Hazardous Materials off-site, and

CERCLA and all other applicable Environmental Law. 
 6.17 Security Documents. The Security Documents are effective to
create in favor of Agent, for the benefit of the Guaranteed and Secured Parties, a legal, valid and enforceable security interest in the Collateral and, when duly recorded or filed, the Liens granted under the Security Documents will constitute a
fully perfected first priority Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest of the grantors thereunder in such Collateral, subject to the effect of applicable bankruptcy and similar Laws affecting the rights of creditors
generally and the effect of equitable principles whether applied in an action at Law or a suit at equity.

 6.18 Solvency. American Vanguard and each of its Subsidiaries is Solvent after giving
effect to each of the Loan Documents. 
 6.19 Intellectual Property; Licenses, Etc. American Vanguard and its
Subsidiaries own, or possess the right to use, all of the trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights, patents, patent rights, franchises, licenses and other intellectual property rights that are reasonably necessary for the operation of
their respective businesses, without conflict with the rights of any other Person. To the best knowledge of each Loan Party, no slogan or other advertising device, product, process, method, substance, part or other material now employed, or now
contemplated to be employed, by American Vanguard or any Material Subsidiary infringes upon any rights held by any other Person. No claim or litigation regarding any of the foregoing is pending or, to the best knowledge of each Loan Party,
threatened, which, either individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Documents required to be delivered pursuant to Section 7.01(a), Section 7.01(b) or Section 7.02(e) (to the extent any
such documents are included in SEC Filings) may be delivered electronically and, if so delivered, shall be deemed to have been delivered on the date (i) on which American Vanguard posts such documents or provides a link thereto on American

by Section 7.02(a) to Agent. Except for such Compliance Certificates, Agent shall have no obligation to request the delivery or to maintain copies of the documents referred to above, and in any event, shall have no responsibility to
monitor compliance by American Vanguard with any request for delivery, and each Lender shall be solely responsible for requesting delivery to it or maintaining its copies of such documents. 
 Each Loan Party hereby acknowledges that (a) Agent may make available to the Lenders and the L/C Issuer materials and/or information provided by or on behalf of the Loan parties hereunder
(collectively, “Borrower Materials”) by posting Borrower Materials on IntraLinks or another similar electronic system (the “Platform”) and (b) certain of the Lenders may be “public-side” Lenders
(i.e., Lenders that do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to Borrower or its securities) (each, a “Public Lender”). Each Loan Party hereby agrees that so long as American Vanguard is the issuer
of any outstanding debt or equity securities that are registered or issued pursuant to a private offering or is actively contemplating issuing any such securities (w) all Borrower Materials that are to be made available to Public Lenders shall
be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (x) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” the Loan Parties
shall be deemed to have authorized Agent to treat such Borrower Materials as not containing any material non-public information with respect to Borrower or its securities for purposes of United States Federal and state securities laws
(provided, however, that to the extent such Borrower Materials constitute Information, they shall be treated as set forth in Section 11.07); (y) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made

payment thereof in the event American Vanguard or any of its Subsidiaries is found to be obligated to pay such Indebtedness and which Indebtedness is thereupon promptly paid by such Person. 

7.04 Maintenance of Existence and Properties. Maintain its corporate existence and maintain all rights, privileges, licenses,
approvals, franchises, properties and assets necessary or desirable in the normal conduct of its business, and comply with all Contractual Obligations and Law. Any violation of a Law shall be corrected within thirty (30) days (or such other
period as agreed upon by the Lenders) of the earlier of receipt of a citation or knowledge of such violation by Borrower or any Guarantor.

actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Subject to Section 11.18, the provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, and neither Borrower nor any other Loan Party shall
have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions. 

  
 63 

 (b) Agent shall also act as the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents, and
each of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes Agent to act as Agent of such Lender, the L/C Issuer and the other Guaranteed and Secured Parties for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on
Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In this connection, Agent, as “collateral agent” and any co-agents, sub-agents
and attorneys-in-fact appointed by Agent pursuant to Section 10.05 or otherwise for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Security Documents, or for exercising any rights
and remedies thereunder at the direction of Agent shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article IX and Article X, as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the “collateral agent” under the Loan
Documents as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto. 
 10.02 Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as 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 Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated
or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory
capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to Lenders. 

10.03 Exculpatory Provisions. Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the
other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Agent: 
 (a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or
other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing; 
 (b) shall not have any duty to take any
discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such
other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents); provided that Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose
Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Law; and shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any
information relating to Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with
the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 9.02
and 10.01) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment. Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless
and until written notice describing such Default is given to Agent by a Lender or the L/C Issuer. Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in
connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any
of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other
agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article V or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to Agent. 

10.04 Reliance by Agent. 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 (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it 

  
 64 

 
to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have
been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the
satisfaction of a Lender or the L/C Issuer, Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or the L/C Issuer unless Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or the L/C Issuer prior to the making of such
Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for 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. 
 10.05 Delegation of Duties. Agent may perform
any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by Agent. Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its
rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of 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. 
 10.06
Resignation of Agent. Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to Lenders, the L/C Issuer and Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with Borrower, to
appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any bank with an office in the United States. If no such 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 Lenders and the L/C Issuer, appoint a successor Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that
if Agent shall notify Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Agent shall be discharged from
its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the L/C Issuer under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Agent shall continue
to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Agent is appointed) and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and the L/C
Issuer directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above in this Section. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested
with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged
therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Agent’s
resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 11.04 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 the retiring Agent was acting as Agent. 
 Any resignation by Bank of the West as
Agent pursuant to this Section shall also constitute its resignation as L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender. The Borrower shall have the right to appoint from among the Lenders a successor L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender as contemplated by
Section 11.06(i) and Bank of the West shall continue to have obligations and rights as set forth in said Section 11.06(i). 
 10.07 Non-Reliance on Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender and the L/C Issuer acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon Agent, the L/C Issuer or any other Lender or any of
their Related Parties 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 and the L/C Issuer also acknowledges that it will, independently and
without reliance upon Agent, the L/C Issuer or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties 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

10.09 Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial
proceeding relative to any Loan Party, Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether Agent shall have made any
demand on Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise: 
 (a) to file and prove a
claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C Obligations and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have
the claims of Lenders, the L/C Issuer, Agent and the other Guaranteed and Secured Parties (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Lenders, the L/C Issuer, Agent, the other Guaranteed and Secured

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized
by each Lender and the L/C Issuer to make such payments to Agent and, in the event that Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the other Guaranteed and Secured Parties, to pay to Agent any amount
due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due Agent under Sections 2.09 and 11.04. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize Agent
to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender, the L/C Issuer or other Guaranteed and Secured Party any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender, the
L/C Issuer or any other Guaranteed and Secured Party or to authorize Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender, the L/C Issuer or any other Guaranteed and Secured Party in any such proceeding. 

10.10 Guaranty Matters. Each Lender and the L/C Issuer hereby irrevocably authorizes Agent, at its option and in its discretion,
to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty if such Person ceases to be a Material Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder. Upon request by Agent at any time, each Lender and the L/C Issuer will confirm in
writing Agent’s authority to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty pursuant to this Section 10.10. 
 10.11 Collateral Matters. (a) Each Lender and the L/C Issuer hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs Agent to enter into the Security Documents for the benefit of such Lender, the L/C Issuer
and the other Guaranteed and Secured Parties. Each Lender and the L/C Issuer hereby agrees, and each holder of any Note by the acceptance thereof will be deemed to agree, that, except as otherwise set forth in Section 11.01, any action
taken by the Required Lenders, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or the Security Documents, and the exercise by the Required Lenders of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably
incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the other Guaranteed and Secured Parties. Agent is hereby authorized (but not obligated) on behalf of all of Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the

  
 66 

 
other Guaranteed and Secured Parties, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from any Lender, the L/C Issuer or any other Guaranteed and Secured Party from time to time prior
to, an Event of Default, to take any action with respect to any Collateral or Security Documents which may be necessary to perfect and maintain perfected the Liens upon the Collateral granted pursuant to the Security Documents. 

(b) Each Lender and the L/C issuer hereby irrevocably authorize Agent, at its option and in its discretion, 

(i) to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by Agent under any Loan Document (A) upon termination of
the Aggregate Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations) and the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit, (B) that is sold or to be sold as part of or in connection with any
sale permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document, (C) subject to Section 11.01, if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders, or (D) in connection with any foreclosure sale or other
disposition of Collateral after the occurrence of an Event of Default; and 
 (ii) to subordinate any Lien on any
property granted to or held by Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by this Agreement or any other Loan Document. 
 Upon request by Agent at any time, each Lender and the L/C Issuer will confirm in writing Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of Collateral pursuant
to this Section 10.11. 
 (c) Subject to (b) above, Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by each
Lender and the L/C Issuer) to execute such documents as may be necessary to evidence the release or subordination of the Liens granted to Agent for the benefit of Agent and Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the other Guaranteed and Secured Parties herein
or pursuant hereto upon the applicable Collateral; provided that (i) Agent shall not be required to execute any such document on terms which, in Agent’s opinion, would expose Agent to or create any liability or entail any
consequence other than the release or subordination of such Liens without recourse or warranty and (ii) such release or subordination shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Obligations or any Liens upon (or obligations of
Borrower or any other Loan Party in respect of) all interests retained by Borrower or any other Loan Party, including the proceeds of the sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral. In the event of any sale or transfer of
Collateral, or any foreclosure with respect to any of the Collateral, Agent shall be authorized to deduct all expenses reasonably incurred by Agent from the proceeds of any such sale, transfer or foreclosure. 

(d) Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any Lender, the L/C Issuer, any Guaranteed and Secured Party or any other Person to
assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by Borrower or any other Loan Party or is cared for, protected or insured or that the Liens granted to Agent herein or in any of the Security Documents or pursuant hereto or thereto have been properly or
sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise or to continue exercising at all or in any manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity any of the rights,
authorities and powers granted or available to Agent in this Section 10.11 or in any of the Security Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event related thereto, Agent may
act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion, given Agent’s own interest in the Collateral as one of Lenders and that Agent shall have no duty or liability whatsoever to Lenders, the L/C Issuer or the other Guaranteed and
Secured Parties. 
 (e) Each Lender and the L/C Issuer hereby appoints each other Lender as agent for the purpose of perfecting
Lenders’, the L/C Issuer’s and the other Guaranteed and Secured Parties’ security interest in assets which, in accordance with Article 9 of the UCC can be perfected only by possession. Should any Lender or the L/C Issuer (other than
Agent) obtain possession of any such Collateral, such Lender or the L/C Issuer shall notify Agent thereof, and, promptly upon Agent’s request therefor shall deliver such Collateral to Agent or in accordance with Agent’s instructions.

thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in subsection (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials

settlement entered into by Agent, the L/C Issuer, the Swing Line Lender or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then

Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment. 
 (iv) Assignment and

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 3.01, 3.04, 3.05, and 11.04 with respect to facts and circumstances
occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Upon request, Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does

(c) Register. Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Borrower, shall maintain at Agent’s Office 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 Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans and L/C Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof
from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and Borrower, Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder
for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by and a copy provided to Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

 (d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, Borrower or Agent, sell
participations to any Person (other than a natural person or Borrower or any of Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this
Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and/or the Loans (including such Lender’s participations in L/C Obligations) owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain
unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely 

  
 73 

 
responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) Borrower, Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such
Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this
Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any
amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to Section 11.01 that affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (e) of this Section, Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the
benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant
also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.08 as though it were a Lender; provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.13 as though it were a Lender. 

(e) Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under
Section 3.01 or 3.04 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 Borrower’s
prior written consent. 
 (f) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or
any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or
assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. 
 (g) Electronic Execution of Assignments. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to
include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case
may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the
Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. 
 (h) Deemed Consent of Borrower. If the consent of Borrower to an assignment to an
Eligible Assignee is required hereunder (including a consent to an assignment which does not meet the minimum assignment threshold specified in Section 11.06(b)(i)(B)), Borrower shall be deemed to have given its consent five Business
Days after the date notice thereof has been delivered to Borrower by the assigning Lender (through Agent) unless such consent is expressly refused by Borrower prior to such fifth Business Day. 

(i) Resignation as L/C Issuer or Swing Line lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time Bank
of the West assigns all of its Commitments and Loans pursuant to subsection (b) above, Bank of the West may, upon 30 days’ notice to Borrower and the Lenders, resign as L/C Issuer and/or resign as Swing line Lender. In the event of any
such resignation as L/C Issuer and/or Swing Line Lender, Borrower shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder; provided, however, that no failure by Borrower to appoint any such successor
shall affect the resignation of Bank of the West as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender. If Bank of the West resigns as L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of
Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Alternate Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed
Amounts pursuant to Section 2.03(c)). If Bank of the West resigns as Swing Line Lender, its shall retain all of the rights of a Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Line Loans made by it and outstanding as of
the effective date of such resignation, (including the right to require the Lenders to make Alternate Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.04(d)). Upon the appointment of a
successor L/C Issuer or Swing Line Loan, (a) such successor shall succeed to and 

  
 74 

 
become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, and (b) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters
of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to Bank of the West to effectively assume the obligations of Bank of the West with respect to such
Letters of Credit. 
 11.07 Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality. Each of Agent, Lenders and the L/C Issuer
agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents,
advisors and representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent
requested by any regulatory authority, purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations
or by any subpoena or similar legal process (but, subject to and in accordance with its ordinary and customary procedures and otherwise applicable Law, each Lender agrees to give Borrower prior written notice thereof), (d) to any other party
hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder,
(f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this
Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the consent of Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information
(x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to Agent, any Lender, the L/C Issuer or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than
Borrower. For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from Borrower or any Subsidiary relating to Borrower or any Subsidiary or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that
is available to Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by Borrower or any Subsidiary. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to
have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. Each of Agent, the Lenders and the
L/C Issuer acknowledges that (a) the Information may include material non-public information concerning Borrower or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, (b) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public
information and (c) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with applicable Law, including Federal and state securities Laws. 
 11.08 Right of Setoff. If an uncured Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Agent, each Lender, the L/C Issuer and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any
time and from time to time, after obtaining the prior written consent of Agent, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever
currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by Agent, such Lender, the L/C Issuer or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of Borrower or any other Loan Party against any and all of the
obligations of Borrower or such Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer or any such Affiliate, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or the L/C Issuer shall
have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of Borrower or such Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer different from
the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of Agent, each Lender, the L/C Issuer and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of
setoff) that Agent, such Lender, the L/C Issuer or their respective Affiliates may have. Agent, each Lender and the L/C Issuer agrees to notify Borrower and Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to
give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application, and, without the prior written consent of Agent, no setoff shall be made so long as any Obligations are secured directly or indirectly by real property. 

  
 75 

 11.09 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If Agent or any Lender shall receive
interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or
received by Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude
voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder. 

11.10 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in
different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to
the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 5.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall
have been executed by Agent and when Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by
telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. 
 11.11 Survival of
Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and
delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that Agent or any Lender
may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any Letter of Credit shall
remain outstanding. 
 11.12 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be
illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in
good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a
provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. 

11.13 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Etc. (a) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in
accordance with, the law of the state of California. 
 (b) Submission to Jurisdiction. Borrower and each other Loan
Party irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the state of California sitting in Los Angeles County and of the United States District Court of the Central District of
California, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto irrevocably
and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such state court or, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees
that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document shall
affect any right that Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against Borrower or any other Loan Party or its properties in the courts of any
jurisdiction. 

  
 76 

 (c) Waiver of Venue. Borrower and each other Loan Party irrevocably and
unconditionally waives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan 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 applicable law, the defense of any inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or
proceeding in any such court. 
 (d) Service of Process. Each party hereto irrevocably consents to service of process in
the manner provided for notices in Section 11.02. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party hereto to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable law. 

11.14 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY
RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY
OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING
WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION. 

11.15 California Judicial Reference. If any action or proceeding is filed in a court of the State of California by or against any
party hereto in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (a) the court shall, and is hereby directed to, make a general reference pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure
Section 638 to a referee (who shall be a single active or retired judge) to hear and determine all of the issues in such action or proceeding (whether of fact or of law) and to report a statement of decision; provided that at the option
of any party to such proceeding, any such issues pertaining to a “provisional remedy” as defined in California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1281.8 shall be heard and determined by the court, and (b) without limiting the
generality of Section 11.04, Borrower shall be solely responsible to pay all fees and expenses of any referee appointed in such action or proceeding. 
 11.16 No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby, Borrower and each other Loan Party acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges
its Affiliates’ understanding, that: (i) the credit facilities provided for hereunder and any related arranging or other services in connection therewith (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or
of any other Loan Document) are an arm’s-length commercial transaction between Borrower, each other Loan Party and their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and Agent, on the other hand, and Borrower and each other Loan Party are capable of
evaluating and understanding and understands and accepts the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents (including any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or thereof); (ii) in
connection with the process leading to such transaction, Agent is and has been acting solely as a principal and is not the financial advisor, agent or fiduciary, for Borrower, any other Loan Party or any of their respective Affiliates, stockholders,
creditors or employees or any other Person; (iii) Agent has not assumed and will not assume an advisory, agency or fiduciary responsibility in favor of Borrower or any other Loan Party with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby
or the process leading thereto, including with respect to any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document (irrespective of whether Agent has advised or is currently advising Borrower, any other Loan Party or any of
their respective Affiliates on other matters) and Agent has no obligation to Borrower, any other Loan Party or any of their respective Affiliates with 

  
 77 

 
respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; (iv) Agent and its Affiliates may be engaged in a broad
range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of Borrower, the other Loan Parties and their respective Affiliates, and Agent has no obligation to disclose any of such interests by virtue of any advisory, agency or fiduciary
relationship; and (v) Agent has not provided and will not provide any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby (including any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of
any other Loan Document) and Borrower and the other Loan Parties has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate. Each of Borrower and the other Loan Parties hereby waives and releases, to
the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims that it may have against Agent with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty. 
 11.17 USA PATRIOT Act Notice. Each Lender that is subject to the Act (as hereinafter defined) and Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies Loan Parties that
pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies such Loan Party, which
information includes the name and address of such Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender or Agent, as applicable, to identify such Loan Party in accordance with the Act. 

11.18 Cash Management Providers, Etc.. Each Cash Management Provider and Permitted Hedge Provider shall be deemed a
third party beneficiary hereof and of the provisions of the other Loan Documents solely for purposes of any reference in a Loan Document to the parties for whom Agent is acting. Agent hereby agrees to act as agent for such Cash Management Providers
and Permitted Hedge Providers and, by virtue of entering into a Cash Management Agreement or Permitted Hedge Agreement, the applicable Cash Management Provider or Permitted Hedge Provider shall be automatically deemed to have appointed Agent as its
agent and to have accepted the benefits of the Loan Documents. It is understood and agreed that the rights and benefits of each Cash Management Provider and Permitted Hedge Provider under the Loan Documents consist exclusively of each such Cash
Management Provider and Permitted Hedge Provider being a beneficiary of the security interests in the Collateral and the Guaranty granted by the Loan Documents to Agent and the right to share in payments and collections out of the proceeds thereof
as more fully set forth in the Loan Documents. In connection with any payments from the proceeds of Collateral and the Guaranty, Agent shall be entitled to assume no amounts are due or owing to any Cash Management Agreement or Permitted Hedge
Agreement unless the relevant Cash Management Provider or Permitted Hedge Provider has provided a written certification (setting forth a reasonably detailed calculation) to Agent as to the amounts that are due and owing to it and such written
certification is received by Agent a reasonable period of time prior to the making of such payments. Agent shall have no obligation to calculate the amount due and payable with respect to any Cash Management Provider and Permitted Hedge Provider,
but may rely upon the written certification of the amount due and payable from the relevant Cash Management Provider and Permitted Hedge Provider. In the absence of an updated certification, Agent shall be entitled to assume that the amount due and
payable to the relevant Cash Management Provider or Permitted Hedge Provider is the amount last certified to Agent by such Cash Management Provider or Permitted Hedge Provider as being due and payable (less any payments made to such Cash Management
Provider or Permitted Hedge Provider on account thereof). In absence of any certification, Agent shall be entitled to assume that no amount is due and payable to the relevant Cash Management Provider or Permitted Hedge Provider. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, no provider or holder of any Cash Management Obligations or Permitted Hedge Obligations shall have any voting or approval rights hereunder (or be deemed a Lender) solely by
virtue of its status as the provider or holder of such obligations, nor shall the consent of any such provider or holder be required (other than in their capacities as Agent or Lenders, to the extent applicable) for any matter hereunder or under any
of the other Loan Documents, including as to any matter relating to the Collateral of the Guaranty, including the release of Collateral or Guarantors. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, no provider
or holder of any Cash Management Obligations or Permitted Hedge Obligations (other than in their capacities as Agent or Lenders, to the extent applicable) has any individual right to enforce the Guaranty or bring any remedies with respect to any
Liens on Collateral granted pursuant to the Loan Documents. 

  
 78 

 11.19 Amendment and Restatement. By execution of this Agreement, each Borrower and
the Guarantors acknowledging below agrees that: (a) the Existing Credit Agreement is incorporated herein by reference, and shall continue to be in full force and effect except as expressly modified hereby; (b) all Loan Documents, as
defined in the Existing Credit Agreement, with or relating to the Borrower or any Guarantor Company, including, without limitation, those documents listed on Schedule 11.19 are incorporated by reference into the Loan Documents and shall
continue to be Loan Documents hereunder and in full force and effect, except to the extent expressly modified hereby; (c) except to the extent expressly modified as provided above, it reaffirms and ratifies all of its agreements in the Existing
Credit Agreement and Loan Documents, as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement (the “Existing Loan Documents” ); (d) each reference in the Existing Loan Documents, and any terms defined in the Existing Loan Documents by

Agent’s discretion and from time to time, to make such notations on or modifications to the Existing Loan Documents to reflect the intentions of the parties as expressed herein; and (f) to the extent necessary or desirable to give effect
to the intent of the parties under this Agreement and any Existing Loan Documents (including, without limitation, any collateral document included therein), this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall construed as an amendment to the Existing
Credit Agreement and other Existing Loan Documents, it being the intent of the parties that, without further action, collateral security in which Agent and/or Lenders were granted a Lien under any Existing Loan Documents shall continue secure the
relevant obligations of the Company under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
