ARTICLE II 
 THE
CREDITS 
 Section 2.01 Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender agrees
to make a Loan to the Borrower on the Effective Date in the amount of its Maximum Credit Amount. Amounts repaid or prepaid in respect of the Loans may not be reborrowed. 
 Section 2.02 Loans and Borrowings. 
 (a) Borrowings; Several
Obligations. Each Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve
any other Lender of its obligations hereunder; provided that the Commitments are several and no Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make Loans as required. 

(b) Types of Loans. Subject to Section 3.03, each Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of ABR Loans or Eurodollar
Loans as the Borrower may request in accordance herewith. Each Lender at its option may make any Eurodollar Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such
option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 
 (c)
Minimum Amount; Limitation on Number of Borrowings. At the commencement of each Interest Period for any Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $100,000 and not less than
$1,000,000. At the time that each ABR Borrowing is made, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $100,000 and not less than $1,000,000. Borrowings of more than one Type may be outstanding at the same time;
provided that there shall not at any time be more than a total of five (5) Eurodollar Borrowings outstanding. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrower shall not be entitled to request, or to elect to convert or
continue, any Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Maturity Date or Incremental Loan Maturity Date, as applicable. 
 (d) Notes. If a Lender shall make a written request to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower to have its Loans evidenced by a promissory note, then the Borrower shall execute and deliver a

  
 -25-

 
single promissory note of the Borrower in substantially the form of Exhibit A, payable to such Lender in a principal amount equal to its Maximum Credit Amount as then in effect, and
otherwise duly completed. The date, amount, Type, interest rate and, if applicable, Interest Period of each Loan made by each Lender, and all payments made on account of the principal thereof, may be recorded by such Lender on its books for its
Note, and, prior to any transfer, may be endorsed by such Lender on a schedule attached to such Note or any continuation thereof or on any separate record maintained by such Lender; provided that the failure to make any such notation or to
attach a schedule shall not affect any Lender’s or the Borrower’s rights or obligations in respect of such Loans or affect the validity of such transfer by any Lender of its Note. 

Section 2.03 Requests for Borrowings. To request a Borrowing, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of
such request by telephone or by written Borrowing Request in substantially the form of Exhibit B and signed by the Borrower (a “written Borrowing Request”): (a) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 1:00
p.m., New York, New York time, three (3) Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing or (b) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York, New York time, on the date of the proposed Borrowing. The
Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and if a telephonic Borrowing Request it shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written Borrowing Request. The Borrowing Request shall specify the following
information in compliance with Section 2.02: the aggregate amount of the requested Borrowing; the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day; whether such Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing; in the
case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”; and the location and number of the Borrower’s account
to which funds are to be disbursed, which shall comply with the requirements of Section 2.05. 
 If no election as
to the Type of Borrowing is specified, then the requested Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Eurodollar Borrowing, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest
Period of one month’s duration. 
 Promptly following receipt of the Borrowing Request in accordance with this
Section 2.03, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing. 

Section 2.04 Interest Elections. 
 (a) Conversion and Continuance. The Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as
specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in
this Section 2.04. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such
Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. 
 (b) Interest Election
Requests. To make an election pursuant to this Section 2.04, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone or by a written Interest Election Request in substantially the form of Exhibit C and
signed by the Borrower (a “written Interest Election Request”) by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such
election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and each telephonic Interest Election Request shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the
Administrative Agent. 

  
 -26-

 (c) Information in Interest Election Requests. Each telephonic and written Interest
Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:  
 (i) the
Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be
specified pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(iii) and (iv) shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing); 
 (ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day; 

(iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing; and 

(iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving
effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”. 

If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be
deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. 
 (d) Notice to Lenders by the Administrative
Agent. Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing. 

(e) Effect of Failure to Deliver Timely Interest Election Request and Events of Default on Interest Election. If the Borrower
fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurodollar Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such
Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Majority Lenders, so notifies the Borrower,
then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing: (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing (and any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of
any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective) and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto. 

Section 2.05 Funding of Borrowings. 
 (a) Funding by Lenders. Each Lender shall make its Loan on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 1:00 p.m., New York, New York time, to the account of the
Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account
designated by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request. 
 (b) Presumption of Funding by the Lenders. Unless the
Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of the Borrowing (or, in the case of any ABR Borrowing, 

  
 -27-

 
prior to 12:00 p.m., New York, New York time, on the date of such Borrowing) that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of the Borrowing, the
Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.05(a) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such
event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount
with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds
Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans. If such Lender pays such amount
to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. No payment required and made by the Borrower under this paragraph will be subject to any break-funding payment under
Section 5.02. 
 Section 2.06 Increase in Commitments. 

(a) Borrower Request. The Borrower may by written notice to the Administrative Agent elect to request the establishment of one or
more new Commitments (each, an “Incremental Commitment”) by an amount not in excess of $25,000,000 in the aggregate and not less than $5,000,000 individually. Each such notice shall specify (i) the date (each, an
“Increase Effective Date”) on which Borrower proposes that the increased or new Commitments shall be effective, which shall be a date not less than 10 Business Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to the
Administrative Agent and (ii) the identity of each Assignee to whom Borrower proposes any portion of such increased or new Commitments be allocated and the amounts of such allocations; provided that any existing Lender approached to
provide all or a portion of the increased or new Commitments may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide such increased or new Commitment. 
 (b) Conditions. The increased or new Commitments shall become effective, as of such Increase Effective Date; provided that: 

(i) each of the conditions set forth in Section 6.02 shall be satisfied; 

(ii) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result from the borrowings to be made on the Increase
Effective Date; 
 (iii) after giving pro forma effect to the borrowings to be made on the Increase Effective
Date and to any change in EBITDA and any increase in Indebtedness resulting from the consummation of any acquisitions permitted pursuant to Section 9.05(l) concurrently with such borrowings as of the date of the most recent financial
statements delivered pursuant to Section 7.01(a) or (b), Borrower shall be in compliance with the financial covenant set forth in Section 9.01; and 

(iv) Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered any legal opinions or other documents reasonably requested by the
Administrative Agent in connection with any such transaction. 
 (c) Terms of New Loans and Commitments. The terms and
provisions of Loans made pursuant to the new Commitments shall be as follows: 
 (i) terms and provisions of
Loans made pursuant to Incremental Commitments (“Incremental Loans”) shall be, except as otherwise set forth herein or in the Increase Joinder, identical to the Loans (it being understood that Incremental Loans may be a part of the
Loans); 

  
 -28-

 (ii) the weighted average life to maturity of any Incremental Loans shall be
no shorter than the weighted average life to maturity of the existing Loans; 
 (iii) the maturity date of
Incremental Loans (the “Incremental Loan Maturity Date”) shall not be earlier than the Maturity Date; 
 (iv) the Applicable Margins for the Incremental Loans shall be determined by Borrower and the Lenders of the Incremental Loans; provided that in the event that the Applicable Margins for any
Incremental Loans are greater than the Applicable Margins for the Loans, then the Applicable Margins for the Loans shall be increased to the extent necessary so that the Applicable Margins for the Incremental Loans are not more than 0.50% greater
than the Applicable Margins for the Loans; provided, further, that in determining the Applicable Margins applicable to the Loans and the Incremental Loans, (x) original issue discount (“OID”) or upfront fees
(which shall be deemed to constitute like amounts of OID) payable by Borrower to the Lenders of the Loans or the Incremental Loans in the primary syndication thereof shall be included (with OID being equated to interest based on an assumed four-year
life to maturity), (y) customary arrangement or commitment fees payable to the Arrangers (or their affiliates) in connection with the Loans or to one or more arrangers (or their affiliates) of the Incremental Loans shall be excluded and
(z) if the Adjusted LIBO Rate or Alternate Base Rate “floor” for the Incremental Loans is greater than the Adjusted LIBO Rate or Alternate Base Rate “floor,” respectively, for the Loans, the difference between such floor for
the Incremental Loans and the Loans shall be equated to an increase in the Applicable Margin for purposes of this clause (v); and 
 (v) to the extent that the terms and provisions of Incremental Loans are not identical to the Loans (except to the extent permitted by clause (iv) or (v) above) they shall be reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 
 The increased or new Commitments shall be effected by a joinder agreement (the “Increase
Joinder”) executed by Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Lender making such increased or new Commitment, in form and substance satisfactory to each of them. The Increase Joinder may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect
such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.06. In addition, unless otherwise specifically
provided herein, all references in Loan Documents to Loans shall be deemed, unless the context otherwise requires, to include references to Incremental Loans that are Loans, made pursuant to this Agreement. 

(d) Making of New Term Loans. On any Increase Effective Date on which new Commitments for Loans are effective, subject to the
satisfaction of the foregoing terms and conditions, each Lender of such new Commitment shall make a Loan to Borrower in an amount equal to its new Commitment. 
 (e) Equal and Ratable Benefit. The Loans and Commitments established pursuant to this paragraph shall constitute Loans and Commitments under, and shall be entitled to all the benefits afforded by,
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and shall, without limiting the foregoing, benefit equally and ratably from the guarantees and security interests created by the Security Instruments, except that the new Loans may be subordinated in
right of payment or the Liens securing the new Loans may be subordinated, in each case, as set forth in the Increase Joinder. The Loan Parties shall take any 

  
 -29-

 
actions reasonably required by the Administrative Agent to ensure and/or demonstrate that the Lien and security interests granted by the Security Instruments continue to be perfected under the
UCC or otherwise after giving effect to the establishment of any such Loans or any such new Commitments.

(a) ABR Loans. The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

 (b) Eurodollar Loans. The Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for
the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin. 
 (c) Post-Default Rate. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrower or any other Loan Party hereunder or under any 

  
 -30-

 
other Loan Document is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per
annum equal to 2.0% plus the rate applicable to ABR Loans as provided in Section 3.02(a), or if no rate is then applicable to such amount, at a rate per annum equal to 2.0% plus the highest rate then applicable to ABR Loans as provided
in Section 3.02(a). 
 (d) Interest Payment Dates. Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears
on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and on the Termination Date; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to Section 3.02(c) shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any
Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR Loan prior to the Termination Date), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment, and (iii) in the event of any conversion of
any Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion. 
 (e) Interest Rate Computations. All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the
Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last
day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate, Adjusted LIBO Rate or LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and be binding upon the parties hereto. 

Section 3.03 Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar
Borrowing: 
 (a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest
error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate for such Interest Period or the Administrative Agent is advised by the Majority Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate or LIBO Rate, as
applicable, for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period; 

(b) then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or telecopy as
promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of
any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective, and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing. 

Section 3.04 Prepayments. 
 (a) Optional Prepayments. The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part without premium (except in as set forth in

(b) Notice and Terms of Optional Prepayment. The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by
telecopy) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York, New York time, three (3) Business Days before the date of prepayment, or (ii) in the case of prepayment
of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 1:00

p.m., New York, New York time, one Business Day prior to the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each
Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing (other than
pursuant to Section 3.04(d)) shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied to the
remaining scheduled installments of principal thereof pursuant to Section 3.01 in a manner determined at the discretion of the Borrower and specified in the notice of prepayment (and absent such direction, in direct order of maturity).
Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 3.02. The Borrower shall promptly compensate any Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by such Lender as a
result of any prepayment of Eurodollar Loans on a day prior to the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan pursuant to Section 5.02(a) hereof. 
 (c) Prepayment Premium. In the event that, the Borrower makes a prepayment of the Loans in accordance with Section 3.04(a) or Section 3.04(c) on a date that is (i) on
or prior to one year anniversary of the Effective Date, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of each applicable Lender a prepayment premium of 2.0% of the amount of the Loans being prepaid and (ii) after
the one year anniversary of the Effective Date but on or before the two year anniversary of the Effective Date, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of each applicable Lender a prepayment premium of 1.0% of the
amount of the Loans repaid or (iii) after the two year anniversary of the Effective Date, no prepayment premium shall be payable on the amounts of the Loans repaid. In the event that, the Borrower makes a prepayment of the Loans in accordance
with Section 3.04(d)(ii) on a date that is (i) on or prior to the two year anniversary of the Effective Date, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of each applicable Lender a prepayment premium
of 1.0% of the amount of the Loans being prepaid or (ii) after the two year anniversary of the Effective Date, no prepayment premium shall be payable on the amounts of the Loans repaid. 

(d) Mandatory Prepayments. 
 (i) If, at any time, the Recognized Value Ratio is less than 2.00 to 1.00, the Borrower shall (A) prepay Loans outstanding hereunder and Revolving Loans outstanding under the Revolving Credit
Agreement in an aggregate principal amount necessary to achieve a Recognized Value Ratio greater than or equal to 2.00 to 1.00 (such prepayment to occur in proportion to the Total Funded Debt outstanding under this Agreement and under the Revolving
Credit Agreement). The Borrower shall make such prepayment on or prior to the tenth Business Day immediately following any date on which the Recognized Value is less than 2.00 to 1.00 (any such date, a “Recognized Value Trigger
Date”); provided that, in lieu of such prepayment, the Borrower may, within 30 days following such Recognized Value Trigger Date, grant to the Administrative Agent as security for the Indebtedness a valid first-priority Lien
(provided that Excepted Liens of the type described in clauses (a) to (d) and (f) of the definition thereof may exist, but subject to the provisos at the end of such definition) on additional Oil and Gas Properties comprised of Proved
Reserves to the extent necessary to cause the Recognized Value Ratio to become greater than or equal to 2.00 to 1.00. If the Borrower elects to cause the Recognized Value Ratio to become greater than or equal to 2.00 to 1.00 by providing additional
Collateral as set forth in the previous sentence, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent written notice of its election to do so on or prior to the tenth Business Day immediately following such Recognized Value Trigger Date and,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any failure by the Borrower to timely deliver such notice or to timely provide such additional Collateral shall be deemed to be an Event of Default under Section 10.01(a)
with no notice or grace periods. 

  
 -32-

 (ii) (A) If the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary Disposes of all or any portion of
the Arkoma Assets to any Person other than a Loan Party, the Borrower shall make a mandatory prepayment, in accordance with Section 3.04(d)(ii)(C), of an aggregate principal amount of Loans equal to 100% of all such Net Cash Proceeds
realized or received from such Disposition; provided that after the two year anniversary of the Effective Date, no such prepayment shall be required pursuant to this Section 3.04(d)(ii)(A) with respect to such portion of such Net
Cash Proceeds that the Borrower shall have, on or prior to such date, given written notice to the Administrative Agent of its intent to reinvest in accordance with Section 3.04(d)(ii)(B) (which notice may only be provided if no Event of
Default has occurred and is then continuing and the Borrower is in Pro Forma Compliance with the covenant contained in Section 9.01). 
 (B) With respect to any Net Cash Proceeds realized or received with respect to any Disposition of Arkoma Assets following the second anniversary of the Effective, at the option of the Borrower (as
evidenced in a written notice of reinvestment election (a “Notice of Reinvestment Election”) delivered to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after the date of realization or receipt of such Net Cash
Proceeds), the Borrower may reinvest all or any portion of such Net Cash Proceeds in assets useful for its business (other than working capital) within eighteen (18) months following receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds; provided that
(i) so long as an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrower shall not be permitted to make any such reinvestments (other than pursuant to a legally binding commitment that the Borrower entered into at a time when no
Event of Default is continuing) and (ii) if any Net Cash Proceeds are not so reinvested by the deadline specified above, or if any such Net Cash Proceeds are no longer intended to be or cannot be so reinvested at any time after delivery of a
Notice of Reinvestment Election, an amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds shall be applied, in accordance with Section 3.04(d)(ii)(C), to the prepayment of the Term Loans as set forth in this Section 3.04.

 (C) On each occasion that the Borrower must make a prepayment of the Loans pursuant to this Section 3.04(d)(ii),
the Borrower shall, within five (5) Business Days after the date of realization or receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds, make a prepayment, in accordance with Section 3.04(d)(v) below, of the principal amount of Loans in an amount
equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds realized or received. 
 (iii) (A) Subject to Section 3.04(d)(iii)(B), if
(x) the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary Disposes of any property or assets (other than any Disposition of any property or assets permitted by Section 9.11(a), (d), (e), (g) or (h) and
other than any Disposition of all or any portion of the Arkoma Assets to any Subsidiary of a Loan Party) or (y) any Casualty Event occurs, which in the aggregate results in the realization or receipt by the Borrower or such Restricted
Subsidiary of Net Cash Proceeds, the Borrower shall make a mandatory prepayment, in accordance with Section 3.04(d)(iii)(C), of an aggregate principal amount of Loans equal to 100% of all such Net Cash Proceeds realized or received;
provided that no such prepayment shall be required pursuant to this Section 3.04(d)(iii)(A) with respect to such portion of such Net Cash Proceeds that the Borrower shall have, on or prior to such date, given written notice to the
Administrative Agent of its intent to reinvest in accordance with Section 3.04(d)(iii)(B) (which notice may only be provided if no Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing and, in the case of a Disposition pursuant to clause
(x) of this Section 3.04(d)(iii)(A), the Borrower is in Pro Forma Compliance with the covenant contained in Section 9.01). 
 (B) With respect to any Net Cash Proceeds realized or received with respect to any Disposition (other than any Disposition specifically excluded from the application of Section 3.04
(d)(iii)(A)) or any Casualty Event, at the option of the Borrower (as evidenced in a Notice of Reinvestment Election delivered to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after the date of realization or receipt of such Net
Cash Proceeds), the Borrower may reinvest all or any portion of such Net Cash Proceeds in assets useful for its business (other than working capital) within eighteen (18) months following receipt of

  
 -33-

 
such Net Cash Proceeds; provided that (i) so long as an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrower shall not be permitted to make any such reinvestments
(other than pursuant to a legally binding commitment that the Borrower entered into at a time when no Event of Default is continuing) and (ii) if any Net Cash Proceeds are not so reinvested by the deadline specified above, or if any such Net
Cash Proceeds are no longer intended to be or cannot be so reinvested at any time after delivery of a Notice of Reinvestment Election, an amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds shall be applied, in accordance with
Section 3.04(d)(iii)(C), to the prepayment of the Term Loans as set forth in this Section 3.04. 
 (C)
On each occasion that the Borrower must make a prepayment of the Loans pursuant to this Section 3.04(d)(iii), the Borrower shall, within five (5) Business Days after the date of realization or receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds (or,
in the case of prepayments required pursuant to Section 3.04(d)(iii)(B), within five (5) Business Days of the deadline specified therein, or of the date the Borrower reasonably determines that such Net Cash Proceeds are no longer
intended to be or cannot be so reinvested, as the case may be), make a prepayment, in accordance with Section 3.04(d)(v) below, of the principal amount of Loans in an amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds realized or received.

 (iv) If the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary issues or incurs any Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness permitted to be
incurred pursuant to Section 10.04 as in effect on the Effective Date), an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds of the respective incurrence of Indebtedness shall be applied on such date as a mandatory repayment and/or commitment
reduction in accordance with the requirements of Sections 3.04(d)(v) and (vi). 
 (v) Each prepayment of Loans
pursuant to this Section 3.04(d) shall be applied ratably to the outstanding installments thereof in direct order of maturity. Prepayments pursuant to this Section 3.04(d) shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the
extent required by Section 3.02. 
 (vi) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any
mandatory prepayment of Loans required to be made pursuant to clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) of this Section 3.04(d) at least five (5) Business Days prior to 1:00 p.m. on the date of such
prepayment. Each such notice shall specify the date of such prepayment and provide a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of the contents of the Borrower’s
prepayment notice and of such Lender’s pro rata share of the prepayment. 
 (e) No Premium or Penalty. Prepayments
permitted or required under this Section 3.04 shall be without premium or penalty, except as required under Section 3.04(c) and Section 5.02. 

Section 3.05 Fees. 
 The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in the
Fee Letter. 
 ARTICLE IV 
 PAYMENTS; PRO RATA TREATMENT; SHARING OF SET-OFFS 
 Section 4.01
Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs. 
 (a) Payments by the Borrower. The Borrower shall
make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees, or of amounts payable under Section 5.01, Section  

  
 -34-

 
5.02, Section 5.03 or otherwise) prior to 12:00 noon, New York, New York time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without defense, deduction, recoupment,
set-off or counterclaim. Fees, once paid, shall be fully earned and shall not be refundable under any circumstances. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received
on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices specified in Section 12.01, except that payments pursuant to
Section 5.01, Section 5.02, Section 5.03 and Section 12.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the
account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and,
in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in dollars. 
 (b) Application of Insufficient Payments. If at any time prior the Termination Date, insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of
principal, interest, fees and other amounts then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied: first, ratably to reimbursement of expenses and indemnities provided for in this Agreement and the Security Instruments; second, to accrued
interest on the Loans; third, to fees; and fourth, pro rata to outstanding principal of the Loans; in each case, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts then due to such parties. 

(c) Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain
payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other
Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in
accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such
participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this Section 4.01(c) shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower
pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to a Loan
Party or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section 4.01(c) shall apply). The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law and under this Agreement, that
any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in
the amount of such participation. 
 Section 4.02 Presumption of Payment by the Borrower. Unless the
Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may
assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of
the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date
of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. 

  
 -35-

 Section 4.03 Certain Deductions by the Administrative Agent. If any
Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant hereto then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent
for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid. After acceleration or maturity of the Loans, all principal will be paid ratably as provided in
Section 10.02(c). 
 Section 4.04 Disposition of Proceeds. The Security Instruments contain an
assignment by the Borrower and/or the other Loan Parties unto and in favor of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders of all of the Borrower’s or each other Loan Party’s interest in and to production and all proceeds
attributable thereto which may be produced from or allocated to the Collateral. The Security Instruments further provide in general for the application of such proceeds to the satisfaction of the Indebtedness and other obligations described therein
and secured thereby. Notwithstanding the assignment contained in such Security Instruments, until the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agree that they will neither notify the purchaser or purchasers of such
production nor take any other action to cause such proceeds to be remitted to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, but the Lenders will instead permit such proceeds to be paid to the Borrower or any other applicable Loan Party and the Lenders
hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to take such actions as may be necessary to cause such proceeds to be paid to the Borrower and/or such Loan Parties. 
 ARTICLE V 
 INCREASED COSTS; BREAK FUNDING PAYMENTS; TAXES 

Section 5.01 Increased Costs. 
 (a) Eurodollar Changes in Law. If any Change in Law shall: 

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with
or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate); 
 (ii) or impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any increase in Taxes other than Excluded Taxes or Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes
covered under Section 5.03) affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender; 
 and the result of any of
the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender (whether of
principal, interest or otherwise), in each case by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or
reduction suffered. 
 (b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or
liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, in each case by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, as a
consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by such Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company would have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and
the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s
holding company for any such reduction suffered. 

  
 -36-

 (c) Certificates. A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts
necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in Section 5.01(a) or (b) and reasonably detailed calculations therefor shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive
absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 30 days after receipt thereof. 
 (d) Effect of Failure or Delay in Requesting Compensation. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 5.01 shall not constitute a waiver
of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 5.01 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior
to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving
rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. 
 Section 5.02 Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto
(including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan into an ABR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, or (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any
Eurodollar Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto, or (d) the assignment of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant
to Section 5.05, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to
include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been
applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period
for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a
comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurodollar market. 
 A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount
or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 5.02 shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such
certificate within 30 days after receipt thereof. 
 Section 5.03 Taxes. 

(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower or any Guarantor under any
Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Taxes unless required by applicable law; provided that if the applicable withholding agent shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such
payments, then (a) the sum payable by the Borrower or any Guarantor shall be increased as necessary so that after all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 5.03) have been
made, the Administrative Agent or Lender (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (b) the applicable withholding agent shall make such deductions and (c) the
applicable withholding agent shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 

  
 -37-

 (b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. In addition, the Borrower shall pay any
Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 
 (c) Indemnification by the
Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the
case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder or with respect to any Loan Document (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable
under this Section 5.03) 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 of the Administrative Agent or a Lender as to the amount of such payment or liability under this Section 5.03) shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

(d) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower or a
Guarantor to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or
other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 
 (e) Status of Lenders. 

(i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan
Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or
the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other
documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or
information reporting requirements. 
 (ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (A) any Lender that is a U.S.
Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative
Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax; (B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the
Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable: (1) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of
interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any
other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;
(2) executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI; (3) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under 

  
 -38-

 
Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit J-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of
Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the
Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN; or (4) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form
W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit J-2 or Exhibit J-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if
the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of
Exhibit J-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner; (C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be
requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of
any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the
Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and (D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender
were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time
or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such
additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine whether such Lender has
complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the
date of this Agreement. 
 Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes
obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. 

(f) Indemnification by Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand
therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to
do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 12.04(c) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender,
in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted
by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent
to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this
paragraph (f). 

  
 -39-

 (g) Tax Refunds. If the Administrative Agent or any Lender determines, in its sole
discretion, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or any Guarantor or with respect to which the Borrower or any Guarantor has paid additional amounts pursuant to
this Section 5.03, it shall pay over such refund to the Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 5.03 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or
Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including any Taxes) of the Administrative Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to
such refund); provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental
Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section 5.03 shall not be construed to require the
Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person. 

(h) Survival. The agreements in this Section 5.03 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of
the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. 
 Section 5.04 Designation of Different Lending Office.
If any Lender requests compensation under Section 5.01, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 5.03, then such
Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such
Lender, such designation or assignment (a) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 5.01 or Section 5.03, as the case may be, in the future and (b) would not subject such Lender to any
unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. 

Section 5.05 Replacement of Lenders. If (a) any Lender requests compensation under Section 5.01,
(b) the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 5.03, or (c) any Lender has not approved a proposed waiver or amendment
requiring 100% approval or consent but which has been approved by Lenders holding 50% or more of the then outstanding Loans, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such
Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 12.04(b)), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such
obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be
withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, from
the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts), and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under
Section 5.01 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 5.03, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. 
 Section 5.06 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event that it becomes unlawful for any Lender or its applicable lending office to honor its
obligation to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans either generally or having a particular Interest Period hereunder, then (a) such 

  
 -40-

 
Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof and such Lender’s obligation to make such Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended (the “Affected
Loans”) until such time as such Lender may again make and maintain such Eurodollar Loans and (b) all Affected Loans which would otherwise be made by such Lender shall be made instead as ABR Loans (and, if such Lender so requests by
notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, all Affected Loans of such Lender then outstanding shall be automatically converted into ABR Loans on the date specified by such Lender in such notice) and, to the extent that Affected Loans are
so made as (or converted into) ABR Loans, all payments of principal which would otherwise be applied to such Lender’s Affected Loans shall be applied instead to its ABR Loans; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to make any
payments pursuant to Section 5.02 as a result of the conversion of any Affected Loans under this Section 5.06.

Section 7.03 Approvals; No Conflicts. The Transactions (a) do not require any consent or approval of,

the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, except such as have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect other than (i) the recording and filing of the Security Instruments as required by this Agreement and
(ii) those third party approvals or consents which, if not made or obtained, would not cause a Default hereunder, could not reasonably be

all steps reasonably necessary to determine and have determined that no Hazardous Materials have been Released and there has been no threatened Release of any Hazardous Materials on or to any Property of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary

meaning specified in section 4041 of ERISA.

ERISA Affiliate sponsors, maintains, or contributes to an employee welfare benefit plan, as defined in section 3(1) of ERISA, including, without limitation, any such plan maintained to provide benefits to former employees of such entities, that may

only that such Information was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed by the Borrower to be reasonable at the time.

expenses relating to the maintenance, development and operations of each such Property in an amount in excess of the working interest of each Property set forth in such Reserve Report that is not offset by a corresponding proportionate increase in
such Restricted Subsidiary’s net revenue interest in such Property other than as reflected in such Reserve Report. All information contained in the most recently delivered Reserve Report is true and correct in all material respects as of the
date to which such Reserve Report relates. 
 (b) [Reserved] 

(c) All material leases and agreements necessary for the conduct of the business of the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries are
valid and subsisting, in full force and effect, and there exists no default or event or circumstance which with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both would give rise to a default under any such lease or leases, except as in each case
could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (d) The rights and Properties presently owned,
leased or licensed by the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries including, without limitation, all easements and rights of way, include all rights and Properties necessary to permit the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries to conduct their
business in all material respects in the same manner as its business has been conducted prior to the date hereof. 
 (e) All of
the Properties of the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries which are reasonably necessary for the material operation of their businesses are in good working condition and are maintained in accordance with prudent business standards. 

(f) The Borrower and each Restricted Subsidiary owns, or is licensed to use, all trademarks, tradenames, copyrights, patents and other
intellectual Property material to its business, and the use thereof by the Borrower and such Restricted Subsidiary does not infringe upon the rights of any other Person, except for any such infringements that, individually or in the aggregate, could
not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries either own or have valid licenses or other rights to use all databases, geological data, geophysical data, engineering data, seismic
data, maps, interpretations and other technical information used in their businesses as presently conducted, subject to the limitations contained in the agreements governing the use of the same, which limitations are customary for companies engaged
in the business of the exploration and production of Hydrocarbons, with such exceptions as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 Section 7.18 Maintenance of Properties. Except for such acts or failures to act as could not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, the Oil and Gas Properties (and
Properties unitized therewith) of the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries have been maintained, operated and developed in a good and workmanlike manner and in conformity with all Laws and in conformity with the provisions of all leases,
subleases or other contracts comprising a part of the Hydrocarbon Interests and other contracts and agreements forming a part of such Oil and Gas Properties. Specifically in connection with the foregoing, except for those as could not be reasonably
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (a) no Oil and Gas Property owned (whether in fee or by leasehold) by any Loan Party is subject to having allowable production reduced below the full and regular allowable (including the maximum
permissible tolerance) because of any overproduction (whether or not the same was permissible at the time) and (b) none of the wells comprising a part of the Oil and Gas Properties owned (whether in fee or by leasehold) by any Loan Party (or
Properties unitized therewith) is deviated from the vertical more than the maximum permitted by Law, and such wells are, in fact, bottomed under and are producing from, and the well bores are wholly within, such Oil and Gas Properties (or in the
case of wells located on Properties unitized therewith, such unitized Properties). All pipelines, wells, gas processing plants, platforms and 

  
 -50-

 
other material improvements, fixtures and equipment owned in whole or in part by any Loan Party that are necessary to conduct normal operations are being maintained in a state adequate to conduct
normal operations, and with respect to such of the foregoing which are operated by any Loan Party, in a manner consistent with such Loan Party’s past practices (other than those the failure of which to maintain in accordance with this
Section 7.18 could not reasonably be expect to have a Material Adverse Effect). 
 Section 7.19 Gas
Imbalances. As of the date hereof, except as set forth on Schedule 7.19, on a net basis there are no gas imbalances or other prepayments made to the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary with respect to the Oil and Gas Properties
evaluated in the Reserve Report that would require the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary to deliver and transfer ownership of at some future time volumes of Hydrocarbons produced from such Oil and Gas Properties having a value (based on current
prices) of more than $5,000,000 without receiving full payment therefor at the time of delivery of those Hydrocarbons. 

Section 7.20 Marketing of Production. Except for contracts listed on Schedule 7.20, and thereafter disclosed in
writing by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, in each case as included in the most recently delivered Reserve Report (with respect to all of which contracts the Borrower represents that it or the Restricted Subsidiaries are receiving a price
for all production sold thereunder which is computed substantially in accordance with the terms of the relevant contract and are not having deliveries curtailed substantially below the subject Property’s delivery capacity except as disclosed in
Schedule 7.20 or the most recently delivered Reserve Report), no agreements exist which are not cancelable by the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary on 60 days’ notice or less without penalty to the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary
or detriment for the sale of production from the Borrower’s or the Restricted Subsidiaries’ Hydrocarbons (including, without limitation, calls on or other rights to purchase production, whether or not the same are currently being
exercised) that (a) pertain to the sale of production at a fixed price and (b) have a maturity or expiry date of longer than six months from the date hereof (in the case of Schedule 7.20) or the most recently delivered Reserve
Report (in the case of each other such agreement). 
 Section 7.21 Swap Agreements. Each report required to
be delivered by the Borrower pursuant to Section 8.01(d), sets forth, a true and complete list of all Swap Agreements of the Borrower, each and Restricted Subsidiary, the type, term, effective date, termination date and notional amounts
or volumes and the net mark to market value thereof, all credit support agreements relating thereto (including any margin required or supplied) and the counterparty to each such agreement. 

Section 7.22 Solvency. The Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, are, and immediately after
giving effect to the Acquisition and the incurrence of all Debt and obligations being incurred in connection herewith and under the Revolving Loan Documents, will be Solvent. 
 Section 7.23 Foreign Corrupt Practices. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries, nor, to the knowledge of the Borrower, any director, officer, agent, employee or Affiliate of
any of the foregoing is aware of or has taken any action, directly or indirectly, that would result in a material violation by such Persons of the FCPA, including without limitation, making use of the mails or any means or instrumentality of
interstate commerce corruptly in furtherance of an offer, payment, promise to pay or authorization of the payment of any money, or other property, gift, promise to give, or authorization of the giving of anything of value to any “foreign
official” (as such term is defined in the FCPA) or any foreign political party or official thereof or any candidate for foreign political office, in contravention of the FCPA. To the knowledge of the Borrower, the Borrower, the Restricted
Subsidiaries and the Unrestricted Subsidiaries and its and their Affiliates have conducted their business in material compliance with the FCPA.

 Section 7.24 OFAC. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries, nor,
to the knowledge of the Borrower, any director, officer, agent, employee or Affiliate of any of the foregoing is currently subject to any material United States sanctions administered by OFAC, and the Borrower will not directly or indirectly use the
proceeds from the Loans or lend, contribute or otherwise make available such proceeds to any Subsidiary, joint venture partner or other Person, for the purpose of financing the activities of any Person known to the Borrower to be currently subject
to any United States sanctions administered by OFAC.

Report. If the aggregate value of the Oil and Gas Properties subject to a valid and perfected Mortgage with the priority required by the Intercreditor Agreement is less than the Required Mortgage
Value, then the Borrower shall, and shall cause the Restricted Subsidiaries to, grant within 30 days of the delivery of the most recent Reserve Report to the Administrative Agent as security for the Indebtedness a valid and perfected Lien with the
priority required by the Intercreditor Agreement (provided that Excepted Liens of the type described in clauses (a) to (d), (f) and (l) of the definition thereof may exist, but subject to the provisos at the end of such
definition) on additional Oil and Gas Properties to the extent necessary to cause the aggregate value of the Oil and Gas Properties subject to a valid and perfected Mortgage with the priority required by the Intercreditor Agreement to equal or
exceed the Required Mortgage Value. All such Liens will be created and perfected by and in accordance with the provisions of Mortgages or other Security Instruments, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. Any
Restricted Subsidiary that creates a Lien on its Oil and Gas Properties shall become a Guarantor in accordance with Section 8.14(c). 
 (b) The Borrower shall promptly cause each Material Subsidiary formed or acquired after the Effective Date to guarantee the Indebtedness pursuant to the Guaranty Agreement. In connection with any such
guaranty, the Borrower shall (i) cause such Material Subsidiary to (A) execute and deliver a Joinder Agreement pursuant to which such Material Subsidiary becomes a party to the Guaranty Agreement and becomes a Guarantor, and
(B) execute and deliver a Joinder Agreement pursuant to which such Material Subsidiary becomes a party to the Security Agreement and grants a valid and perfected security interest with the priority required by the Intercreditor Agreement
(provided that Excepted Liens of the type described in clause (l) of the definition thereof may exist) in substantially all of its personal Property to the extent required by the Security Agreement and each other applicable Security
Instrument (including the filing of financing statements), and (ii) execute and deliver (or, if the direct parent of such Material Subsidiary is not the Borrower, cause such Material Subsidiary’s direct parent to execute and deliver) a
Security Agreement Supplement pursuant to which the applicable Loan Party will grant a valid and perfected security interest with the priority required by the Intercreditor Agreement (provided that Excepted Liens of the type described in
clause (l) of the definition thereof may exist) in all of the Equity Interests in such Material Subsidiary (and will, without limitation, deliver original certificates (if any) evidencing the Equity Interests of such Material Subsidiary,
together with undated stock powers (or the equivalent for any such Material Subsidiary that is not a corporation) for each certificate duly executed in blank by the registered owner thereof) to the Administrative Agent or the Revolving Loan Agent as
bailee for the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement. 
 (c) [Reserved] 

(d) In the event that any Loan Party acquires any material Property (other than any Oil and Gas Property and any Property in which a
security interest is created under the Security Agreement) after the Effective Date, the Borrower shall, or shall cause such other Loan Party to give the Administrative Agent prompt written notice thereof and execute and deliver any Security
Instruments reasonably required by the Administrative Agent in order to create a valid and perfected security interest and Lien therein with the priority required by the Intercreditor Agreement (provided that Excepted Liens of the type
described in clause (l) of the definition thereof may exist) in such Property to the extent required by the applicable Security Instruments. 
 (e) [Reserved] 
 (f) [Reserved] 

(g) In furtherance of the foregoing in this Section 8.14, each Loan Party (including any newly created or acquired Material

assessments, flood information and/or flood insurance policies, in each case as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent and as reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 

(h) The Borrower agrees that it will not, and will not permit any Guarantor to, grant a Lien on any Property to secure the Revolving Debt
without contemporaneously granting to the Administrative Agent, as security for the Indebtedness, an equal priority, perfected Lien (provided that Excepted Liens of the type described in clauses (a) to (d), (f) and (l) of the
definition thereof may exist, but subject to the provisos at the end of such definition) on the same Property pursuant to Security Instruments in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 

(i) The Borrower will cause any Subsidiary guaranteeing the Revolving Debt that is not guaranteeing the Indebtedness to contemporaneously
become a Guarantor by executing and delivering a Joinder Agreement.

Adverse Effect, (i) satisfy in full and in a timely manner, without incurring any late payment or underpayment charge or penalty and without giving rise to any lien, all of the contribution and funding requirements of section 412 of the Code
and of section 302 of ERISA, and (ii) pay, or cause to be paid, to the PBGC in a timely manner, without incurring any late payment or underpayment charge or penalty, all premiums required pursuant to sections 4006 and 4007 of ERISA.

(a) will cause the management, business and affairs of each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries to be conducted in such a
manner (including, without limitation, by keeping separate books of account) so that each Unrestricted Subsidiary that is a corporation will be treated as a corporate entity separate and distinct from Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries;
provided that the foregoing will not prohibit payments under expense sharing agreements with such Unrestricted Subsidiaries which are consistent with past practices and/or required by any applicable Governmental Authority. 

(b) will not, and will not permit any of the Restricted Subsidiaries to, assume, guarantee or be or become liable for any
Debt of any of the Unrestricted Subsidiaries except in accordance with Section 9.05(g).

Restricted Subsidiary that would require the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary to deliver and transfer ownership at some future time volumes of their respective Hydrocarbons produced from such Oil and Gas Properties having a value (based on
current prices) of more than $5,000,000 without receiving full payment therefore at the time of delivery of those Hydrocarbons.

date), no Default would exist and the Borrower complies with the requirements of Section 8.14, Section 8.16 and Section 9.14. Any such designation shall be treated as a cash dividend in an amount equal to the
lesser of the fair market value of the Borrower’s direct and indirect ownership interest in such Subsidiary or the amount of the Borrower’s cash investment previously made for purposes of the limitation on Investments under
Section 9.05(g).

connection therewith has been, or will be contemporaneously therewith, completed or taken (including any action to continue the 

  
 -72-

 
perfection of any Liens in favor of the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, in any Collateral), provided that, any new location shall be in the United States or Canada. The
Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, change its fiscal year which currently ends on December 31. 
 Section 9.21 APL General Partner. The Borrower shall (a) not permit the APL General Partner to engage in any business other than to act as the general partner of APL, undertake any

 ARTICLE XI 
 THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT 
 Section 11.01 Appointment and
Authorization of Administrative Agent; Secured Swap Agreements. Each Lender hereby irrevocably (subject to Section 11.10) appoints, designates and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action on its behalf under the
provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with such powers as are reasonably
incidental thereto. Each Lender hereby consents to the terms of, and authorizes the Administrative Agent to enter into the form of intercreditor agreement that is substantially in the form attached hereto as

  
 -75-

 
Exhibit K, and each Lender agrees that the terms of such intercreditor agreement shall be binding on such Lender and its successors and assigns, as if it were a party thereto.
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere herein or in any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall the Administrative
Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender or participant, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or
otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” herein and in the other Loan Documents with reference to the Administrative Agent, any syndication
agent or documentation agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to
create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. 
 Section 11.02
Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by or through agents, sub-agents, employees or attorneys in fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel and other
consultants or experts concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney in fact that it selects in the absence of gross negligence or
willful misconduct. 
 Section 11.03 Default; Collateral. 

(a) Upon the occurrence and continuance of a Default or Event of Default, the Lenders agree to promptly confer in order that the Majority
Lenders or the Lenders, as the case may be, may agree upon a course of action for the enforcement of the rights of the Lenders; and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to refrain from taking any action (without incurring any liability to any
Person for so refraining) unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received instructions from the Majority Lenders or the Lenders, as the case may be. All rights of action under the Loan Documents and all right to the Collateral, if any,
hereunder may be enforced by the Administrative Agent and any suit or proceeding instituted by the Administrative Agent in furtherance of such enforcement shall be brought in its name as the Administrative Agent without the necessity of joining as
plaintiffs or defendants any other Lender, and the recovery of any judgment shall be for the benefit of the Lenders (and, with respect to the Secured Swap Agreements and Bank Products, Affiliates, if applicable) subject to the expenses of the
Administrative Agent. In actions with respect to any Property of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary, the Administrative Agent is acting for the ratable benefit of each Lender (and, with respect to the Secured Swap Agreements and Bank
Products, Affiliates, if applicable). Any and all agreements to subordinate (whether made heretofore or hereafter) other indebtedness or obligations of Borrower to the Indebtedness shall be construed as being for the ratable benefit of each Lender
(and, with respect to the Secured Swap Agreements and Bank Products, Affiliates, if applicable). 
 (b) Each Lender authorizes
and directs the Administrative Agent to enter into the Security Instruments on behalf of and for the benefit of the Lenders (and, with respect to the Secured Swap Agreements and Bank Products, Affiliates, if applicable) (or if previously entered
into, hereby ratifies the Administrative Agent’s (or any predecessor administrative agent’s) previously entering into such agreements and Security Instruments). 
 (c) Except to the extent unanimity (or other percentage set forth in Section 12.02) is required hereunder, each Lender agrees that any action taken by the Majority Lenders in accordance with
the provisions of the Loan Documents, and the exercise by the Majority Lenders of the power set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the Lenders.

  
 -76-

 (d) The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized on behalf of the Lenders, without the
necessity of any notice to or further consent from any Lender, from time to time to take any action with respect to any Collateral or Security Instruments which may be necessary to perfect and maintain perfected the Liens upon the Collateral granted
pursuant to the Security Instruments. 
 (e) The Administrative Agent shall not have any obligation whatsoever to any Lender or
to any other Person to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned (whether in fee or by leasehold) by the Person purporting to own it or is cared for, protected, or insured or has been encumbered or that the Liens granted to the Administrative
Agent (or any predecessor administrative agent) herein or pursuant thereto have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected, or enforced, or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise at all or in any
particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure, or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights granted or available to the Administrative Agent in this Section 11.03 or in any of the Security Instruments; IT BEING
UNDERSTOOD AND AGREED THAT IN RESPECT OF THE COLLATERAL, OR ANY ACT, OMISSION, OR EVENT RELATED THERETO, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT MAY ACT IN ANY MANNER IT MAY DEEM APPROPRIATE, IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION, GIVEN THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S OWN
INTEREST IN THE COLLATERAL AS ONE OF THE LENDERS AND THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT SHALL HAVE NO DUTY OR LIABILITY WHATSOEVER TO ANY LENDER (AND, WITH RESPECT TO SECURED SWAP AGREEMENTS AND BANK PRODUCTS, AFFILIATES), OTHER THAN TO ACT WITHOUT GROSS
NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT. 
 (f) The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in
its discretion, to release any Lien granted to or held by the Administrative Agent upon any Collateral: (A) upon the payment in full of the Indebtedness (other than inchoate or contingent or reimbursable obligations for which no claim has been
asserted); (B) constituting property being sold or disposed of to a Person that is not a Loan Party if any Loan Party certifies in a certificate of a Responsible Officer of such Loan Party to the Administrative Agent that the sale or
disposition is made in compliance with this Agreement (and the Administrative Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry); (C) constituting “Excluded Property” as defined in the Security Agreement;
(D) constituting property in which neither Borrower nor any Restricted Subsidiary owned an interest at the time the Lien was granted or at any time thereafter; (E) constituting property leased to the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary
under a lease which has expired or been terminated in a transaction permitted under the Loan Documents or is about to expire and which has not been, and is not intended by the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary to be, renewed; or
(F) consisting of an instrument or other possessory collateral evidencing Debt or other obligations pledged to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Creditors), if the Debt or obligations evidenced thereby has been paid in
full or otherwise superseded. In addition, the Lenders irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to release Liens upon Collateral as contemplated herein and in the other Loan Documents, or if approved, authorized, or ratified in writing by the
requisite Lenders. Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 11.03.

 (g) In furtherance of the authorizations set forth in this Section 11.03, each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints
the Administrative Agent as its attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, for and on behalf of and in the name of each such Lender (i) to enter into Security Instruments (including, without limitation, any appointments of substitute
trustees under any Security Instruments), (ii) to take action with respect to the Collateral and Security Instruments to perfect, maintain, and preserve the Lenders’ Liens, and (iii) to execute instruments of release or to take other
action necessary to release Liens upon any Collateral to the extent authorized herein or in the other Loan Documents. This power of attorney shall be liberally, not restrictively, construed so as to give the greatest latitude to the Administrative

  
 -77-

 
Agent’s power, as attorney, relative to the Collateral matters described in this Section 11.03. The powers and authorities herein conferred on the Administrative Agent may be
exercised by the Administrative Agent through any Person who, at the time of the execution of a particular instrument, is an officer of the Administrative Agent (or any Person acting on behalf of the Administrative Agent pursuant to a valid power of
attorney). The power of attorney conferred by this Section 11.03(g) to the Administrative Agent is granted for valuable consideration and is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable so long as the Indebtedness, or any part thereof,
shall remain unpaid or the Lenders are obligated to make any Loan under the Loan Documents. 
 Section 11.04
Liability of Administrative Agent. NO RELATED PARTY OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT SHALL (A) BE LIABLE FOR ANY ACTION TAKEN OR OMITTED TO BE TAKEN BY ANY OF THEM UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE
TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (EXCEPT FOR ITS OWN GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT IN CONNECTION WITH ITS DUTIES EXPRESSLY SET FORTH HEREIN), or (b) be responsible in any manner to any Lender or participant for any recital, statement,
representation or warranty made by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary or any officer thereof, contained herein or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or
received by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for the
creation, perfection or priority of any Liens purported to be created by any of the Loan Documents, or the validity, genuineness, enforceability, existence, value or sufficiency of any collateral security, or to make any inquiry respecting the
performance by the Borrower of its obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or for any failure of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary or any other party to any Loan Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No
Related Party of the Administrative Agent shall be under any obligation to any Lender or Participant to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other
Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary or any Affiliate thereof. 
 Section 11.05 Reliance by Administrative Agent. 
 (a) The
Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, communication, signature, resolution, representation, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, electronic mail,
or telephone message, statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to
the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under any Loan Document unless it
shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Majority Lenders as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred
by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or
consent of the Majority Lenders or all the Lenders, if required hereunder, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and Participants. Where this Agreement expressly permits or
prohibits an action unless the Majority Lenders or Super Majority Lenders otherwise determine, the Administrative Agent shall, and in all other instances, the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, initiate any solicitation for the
consent or a vote of the requisite Lenders.

 (b) For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in
Section 6.01, each Lender that has funded its Applicable Percentage of the Loan on the Effective Date (or, if there is no Loan made on such date, each Lender other than the Lenders who gave written objection to the Administrative Agent
prior to such date) shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted, or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter either sent by the Administrative Agent to such Lender (or otherwise made available for such Lender on SyndTrak
Online, DXSyndicateTM or any similar website) for consent, approval, acceptance or satisfaction, or required hereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender. 

Section 11.06 Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the
occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, unless the Administrative Agent shall have
received written notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” The Administrative Agent will notify the Lenders of its
receipt of any such notice. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as may be directed by the Majority Lenders in accordance with this Agreement; provided, however, that unless
and until the Administrative Agent has received any such direction, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem
advisable or in the best interest of the Lenders. 
 Section 11.07 Credit Decision; Disclosure of Information by
Administrative Agent. Each Lender acknowledges that no Related Party of the Administrative Agent has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereinafter taken, including any consent to and
acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary or any Affiliate thereof, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Related Party of the Administrative Agent to any Lender
as to any matter, including whether Related Parties of the Administrative Agent have disclosed material information in their possession. Each Lender represents to the Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any
Related Party of the Administrative Agent and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and
creditworthiness of the Borrower, any Guarantor and their respective Subsidiaries, and all applicable bank or other regulatory laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to
extend credit to the Borrower hereunder. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Related Party of the Administrative Agent and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the
time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business,
prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties. In this regard, each Lender acknowledges that Cahill Gordon & Reindel LLP is acting in this
transaction as counsel to the Administrative Agent. Each other party hereto will consult with its own legal counsel to the extent that it deems necessary in connection with the Loan Documents and the matters contemplated therein. Except for notices,
reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent herein, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information
concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any of the Loan Parties or any of their respective Affiliates which may come into the possession of any Related Party of the
Administrative Agent. 
 Section 11.08 Indemnification of Agents. WHETHER OR NOT THE TRANSACTIONS
CONTEMPLATED HEREBY ARE CONSUMMATED, THE LENDERS SHALL INDEMNIFY UPON 

  
 -79-

 
DEMAND EACH RELATED PARTY OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT (TO THE EXTENT NOT REIMBURSED BY OR ON BEHALF OF THE BORROWER AND WITHOUT LIMITING THE OBLIGATION OF THE BORROWER TO DO SO), IN ACCORDANCE
WITH THEIR RESPECTIVE APPLICABLE PERCENTAGES, AND HOLD HARMLESS EACH RELATED PARTY OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL INDEMNIFIED LIABILITIES INCURRED BY IT (INCLUDING SUCH RELATED PARTY OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S OWN
NEGLIGENCE); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT NO LENDER SHALL BE LIABLE FOR THE PAYMENT TO ANY RELATED PARTY OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OF ANY PORTION OF SUCH INDEMNIFIED LIABILITIES RESULTING FROM SUCH PERSON’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR
WILLFUL MISCONDUCT; provided, however, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Majority Lenders shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section 11.08.
Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the Administrative Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the
preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other
Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrower. The undertaking in this Section 11.08 shall survive
termination of the Commitments, the payment of all Indebtedness hereunder and the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent. 
 Section 11.09 Administrative Agent in its Individual Capacity. Wells Fargo and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests in and generally engage
in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with the Borrower and its Affiliates as though Wells Fargo were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without notice to or consent of the Lenders. The Lenders
acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, Wells Fargo or its Affiliates may receive information regarding the Borrower or its Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of the Borrower or such
Affiliate) and acknowledge that the Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them. With respect to its Loans, Wells Fargo shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may
exercise such rights and powers as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” include Wells Fargo in its individual capacity. 

Section 11.10 Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time upon 30 days’
notice to the Lenders with a copy of such notice to the Borrower. If the Administrative Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Majority Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor administrative agent for the Lenders which successor
administrative agent shall be consented to by the Borrower at all times other than during the existence of an Event of Default (which consent of the Borrower shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned). If no successor administrative
agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred which is continuing, upon written
approval of the Borrower (which approval of the Borrower shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), a successor administrative agent from among the Lenders. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor administrative agent
hereunder, such successor administrative agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor administrative agent and the retiring
Administrative Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article XI and
Sections 12.03 and 12.05 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement. If no successor administrative agent has accepted appointment as
Administrative Agent by the date which is 30 days following a retiring 

  
 -80-

 
Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the
duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Majority Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above; provided that in the case of any security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders
under the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such security until such time as a successor administrative agent is appointed. 
 Section 11.11 Syndication Agent; Other Agents; Arrangers. None of the Lenders or other Persons identified on the facing page or signature pages of this Agreement as a “syndication
agent,” as a “documentation agent,” any other type of agent (other than the Administrative Agent), “arranger,” or “bookrunner” shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this
Agreement other than those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Lenders so identified shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that it has not
relied, and will not rely, on any of the Lenders so identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder. 
 Section 11.12 Administrative Agent May File Proof of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment,
composition or other judicial proceeding relative to the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or
otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the 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 and all other Indebtedness that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the
Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the
Administrative Agent under Section 12.03) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and (b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; 

(c) and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such
judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the
Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Section 12.03.

 Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt
on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Indebtedness or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such
proceeding. 
 Section 11.13 Secured Swap Agreements. To the extent any Affiliate of a Lender is a party to a
Secured Swap Agreement with the Borrower or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries and thereby becomes a beneficiary of the Liens pursuant to any Security Instrument, such Affiliate of a Lender shall be deemed to appoint the Administrative Agent its
nominee and agent to act for and on behalf of such Affiliate in connection with such Security Instruments and to be bound by the terms of this Article XI and the other provisions of this Agreement. 

  
 -81-

 Section 11.14 Bank Product Obligations. To the extent any Affiliate of a
Lender provides any Bank Products and thereby becomes a beneficiary of the Liens pursuant to any Security Instrument, such Affiliate of a Lender shall be deemed to appoint the Administrative Agent its nominee and agent to act for and on behalf of
such Affiliate in connection with such Security Instruments and to be bound by the terms of this Article XI and the other provisions of this Agreement.

 Section 12.02 Waivers; Amendments. 

(a) No failure on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to exercise and no delay in exercising, and no course of dealing
with respect to, any right, power or privilege, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right, power or privilege, under any of the Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of
any right, power or privilege under any of the Loan Documents preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder and
under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Loan Party
therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by Section 12.02(b), and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time. 

(b) Subject to Section 12.04(b)(ii)(D)(4), neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof nor any Security Instrument nor
any provision thereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Loan Parties party thereto and the Majority Lenders or by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with the
consent of the Majority Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall 
 (i) increase the Maximum Credit
Amount of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender, 
 (ii) [Reserved], 

(iii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable
hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby; provided that the consent of an Affiliate Lender for any such reduction shall not be required if such reduction is proportionately applicable to
each Lender (including such Affiliate Lender), 
 (iv) postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal
amount of any Loan, or any interest thereon, or any fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone or extend the Termination Date without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely
affected thereby; provided that the consent of an Affiliate Lender for any such postponement, reduction, extension or waiver shall not be required if such postponement, reduction, extension or waiver is proportionately applicable to each
Lender (including such Affiliate Lender), 
 (v) change Section 4.01(b) or
Section 4.01(c) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby, release any Guarantor (except as set forth in the Guaranty Agreement);
provided that the consent of an Affiliate Lender for any such change shall not be required if such change is proportionately applicable to each Lender (including such Affiliate Lender), 

(vi) release any Guarantor (except as set forth in the Guaranty Agreement) or release all or substantially all of the
Collateral, or reduce the percentage set forth in the definition of Required Mortgage Value to less than 80%, without the written consent of each Lender (other than any Affiliate Lender), or 

  
 -83-

 (vii) change any of the provisions of this Section 12.02(b) or
the definitions of “Super Majority Lenders” or “Majority Lenders” or Section 9.11(g) or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any
rights hereunder or under any other Loan Documents or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder or any other Loan Documents, without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby; 

provided further, that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent
hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any supplement to Schedule 7.15 (Subsidiaries) shall be effective simply by delivering to the
Administrative Agent a supplemental schedule clearly marked as such and, upon receipt, the Administrative Agent will promptly deliver a copy thereof to the Lenders. 
 (c) Without the consent of any other person, the applicable Loan Party or Loan Parties and the Administrative Agent may (in its or their respective sole discretion, or shall, to the extent required by any
Loan Document) enter into any amendment or waiver of any Loan Document, or enter into any new agreement or instrument, to effect the granting, perfection, protection, expansion or enhancement of any security interest in any Collateral or additional
property to become Collateral for the benefit of the Secured Creditors, or as required by local law to give effect to, or protect any security interest for the benefit of the Secured Creditors, in any property or so that the security interests
therein comply with applicable law. 
 Section 12.03 Expenses, Indemnity; Damage Waiver. 

(a) The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and its
Affiliates, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel and other outside consultants for the Administrative Agent, the reasonable travel, photocopy, mailing, courier, telephone and other similar
expenses, and the cost of environmental audits and surveys and appraisals, in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration (both before and after
the execution hereof and including advice of counsel to the Administrative Agent as to the rights and duties of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect thereto) of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any amendments,
modifications or waivers of or consents related to the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs, expenses, taxes,
assessments and other charges incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with any filing, registration, recording or perfection of any security interest contemplated by this Agreement or any Security Instrument or any other
document referred to therein, and (iii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent, or any Lender, in connection with
the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, including its rights under this Section 12.03, or in connection with the Loans made hereunder, including, without limitation, all
such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or similar negotiations in respect of such Loans. 
 (b)
THE BORROWER SHALL INDEMNIFY THE ARRANGERS, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH LENDER, AND EACH RELATED PARTY OF ANY OF THE FOREGOING PERSONS (EACH SUCH PERSON BEING CALLED AN “INDEMNITEE”) AGAINST, DEFEND AND HOLD EACH INDEMNITEE
HARMLESS FROM, ANY AND ALL LOSSES, CLAIMS, DAMAGES, PENALTIES, LIABILITIES AND RELATED EXPENSES, INCLUDING THE REASONABLE FEES, CHARGES AND DISBURSEMENTS OF

OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR ANY AGREEMENT OR INSTRUMENT CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY, THE PERFORMANCE BY THE PARTIES HERETO OR THE PARTIES TO ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OF THEIR RESPECTIVE OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER OR THE CONSUMMATION OF THE
TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR BY ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, (2) THE FAILURE OF THE BORROWER OR ANY RESTRICTED SUBSIDIARY TO COMPLY WITH THE TERMS OF ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, INCLUDING THIS AGREEMENT, OR WITH ANY LAW, (3) ANY INACCURACY OF
ANY REPRESENTATION OR ANY BREACH OF ANY WARRANTY OR COVENANT OF THE BORROWER OR ANY GUARANTOR SET FORTH IN ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY INSTRUMENTS, DOCUMENTS OR CERTIFICATIONS DELIVERED IN CONNECTION THEREWITH, (4) ANY LOAN OR THE USE OF
THE PROCEEDS THEREFROM, (5) ANY OTHER ASPECT OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, (6) THE OPERATIONS OF THE BUSINESS OF THE BORROWER AND THE RESTRICTED SUBSIDIARIES, (7) ANY ASSERTION THAT THE LENDERS WERE NOT ENTITLED TO RECEIVE THE PROCEEDS

RELEASE, USE, TRANSPORT, DISPOSAL, ARRANGEMENT OF DISPOSAL OR TREATMENT OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS ON ANY OF THEIR PROPERTIES, (9) THE BREACH OR NON-COMPLIANCE BY THE BORROWER OR ANY RESTRICTED SUBSIDIARY WITH ANY ENVIRONMENTAL LAW, (10) THE
PAST OWNERSHIP BY THE BORROWER OR ANY RESTRICTED SUBSIDIARY OF ANY OF THEIR PROPERTIES OR PAST ACTIVITY ON ANY OF THEIR PROPERTIES WHICH, THOUGH LAWFUL AND FULLY PERMISSIBLE AT THE TIME, COULD RESULT IN PRESENT LIABILITY, (11) THE PRESENCE,
USE, RELEASE, STORAGE, TREATMENT, DISPOSAL, GENERATION, THREATENED RELEASE, TRANSPORT, ARRANGEMENT FOR TRANSPORT OR ARRANGEMENT FOR DISPOSAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS ON OR AT ANY OF THE PROPERTIES OWNED OR OPERATED BY THE BORROWER OR ANY RESTRICTED
SUBSIDIARY OR ANY ACTUAL OR ALLEGED PRESENCE OR RELEASE OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS ON OR FROM ANY PROPERTY OWNED OR OPERATED BY THE BORROWER OR ANY OF THE RESTRICTED SUBSIDIARIES, (12) ANY ENVIRONMENTAL CLAIM RELATED IN ANY WAY TO THE BORROWER OR
ANY OF THE RESTRICTED SUBSIDIARIES, (13) ANY OTHER ENVIRONMENTAL, HEALTH OR SAFETY CONDITION IN CONNECTION WITH THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR (14) ANY ACTUAL OR PROSPECTIVE CLAIM, LITIGATION, INVESTIGATION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO ANY OF THE
FOREGOING, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER ANY INDEMNITEE IS A PARTY THERETO, AND SUCH INDEMNITY SHALL EXTEND TO EACH INDEMNITEE NOTWITHSTANDING THE SOLE OR CONCURRENT NEGLIGENCE OF EVERY KIND OR

OF STRICT LIABILITY IMPOSED WITHOUT FAULT ON ANY ONE OR MORE OF THE INDEMNITEES; PROVIDED THAT SUCH INDEMNITY SHALL NOT, AS TO ANY INDEMNITEE, BE AVAILABLE TO THE EXTENT THAT SUCH LOSSES, CLAIMS, DAMAGES, LIABILITIES OR RELATED
EXPENSES HAVE RESULTED FROM (X) THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF SUCH

Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent under Section 12.03(a) or Section 12.03(b), each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s Applicable
Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as
the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such. 
 (d) To the extent
permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising

(e) All amounts due under this Section 12.03 shall be payable promptly after written demand therefor. 

Section 12.04 Successors and Assigns. 
 (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) the Borrower
may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no
Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section 12.04. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the
parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants (to the extent provided in Section 12.04(c)) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent
and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. 
 (b) (i) Subject to the
conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees (each, an “Assignee”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its
Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent of: 
 (A) the Borrower (such
consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund (as defined below) or, if an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, any other Person; and 
 (B) the Administrative Agent (such consent not
to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, or an Approved Fund.

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the
entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such

material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or securities that has not been disclosed to the assigning Lender (other than because such assigning Lender does not wish to receive material non-public
information with respect to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries or securities) prior to such date to the extent such information could reasonably be expected to have a material effect upon, or otherwise be material, to a Lender’s decision to
assign rights and obligations hereunder to such Affiliate Lender;

entitled to receive, and will not receive, information provided solely to the Lenders that are not Affiliate Lenders by the Administrative Agent or any Lender that is not an Affiliate Lender and will not be permitted to attend or participate in, and

required the Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) with respect to or under any Loan Document, all Loans (or Maximum Credit Amounts, as applicable) held by any Affiliate Lender shall be deemed

Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of
the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 5.01, Section 5.02, Section 5.03
and Section 12.03). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 12.04(b) shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender
of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 12.04(c). 
 (iv) The Administrative
Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the
Maximum Credit Amount of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for
inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 
 (v)
Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an Assignee, the Assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the Assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and
recordation fee referred to in Section 12.04(b), and any written consent to such assignment required by Section 12.04(b), the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information
contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this Section 12.04(b). 

(c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other
entities other than to the Borrower or any Affiliate of the Borrower (each a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the
Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain 

  
 -88-

 
solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and
directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement 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 may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment,
modification or waiver that (1) requires the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby pursuant to Section 12.02(b) and (2) directly affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, the
Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 5.01, Section 5.02, and Section 5.03 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment
pursuant to Section 12.04(b). To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 12.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant shall be subject to
Section 4.01 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each
Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any
obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans or its other obligations under any Loan Document)
to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the
Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any
notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. 

(ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 5.01 or Section 5.03 than
the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent (not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed). Any Participant that is a Foreign Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 5.03 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees,
for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 5.03(e). 
 (d) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign
a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such
pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or Assignee for such Lender as a party
hereto. 
 (e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Lender may grant to a Conduit Lender the option to provide to the Borrower all
or any part of any Loan that a Lender would be required to make, and any Conduit Lender may assign any or all of the Loans it may have funded hereunder to its designating Lender, in each case, without the consent of the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent and without regard to the limitations set forth in Section 12.04(b). Each of the Borrower, each Lender and the Administrative Agent hereby confirms that it will not institute against a Conduit Lender or join any
other Person in instituting against a Conduit Lender any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding under any state bankruptcy or similar law, for one year and one day after the payment in full of the latest
maturing commercial paper note issued by such Conduit Lender; provided, however, that 

  
 -89-

 
each Lender designating any Conduit Lender hereby agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless each other party hereto for any loss, cost, damage or expense arising out of its inability to
institute such a proceeding against such Conduit Lender during such period of forbearance. 
 Section 12.05
Survival; Revival; Reinstatement. 
 (a) All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower
herein and by the Restricted Subsidiaries in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and
shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any Loans regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice
or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other
amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Section 5.01, Section 5.02, Section 5.03 and Section 12.03
and Article XI shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Commitments or the termination of this
Agreement, any other Loan Document or any provision hereof or thereof. 
 (b) To the extent any payment by or on behalf of the
Borrower is made to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, and such payment or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the
Administrative Agent or any Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any bankruptcy or other laws for the relief of debtors or otherwise, then to the extent of such
recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made. 
 Section 12.06 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. 
 (a)
This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. 

(b) This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent
constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof. This Agreement
and the other Loan Documents represent the final agreement among the parties hereto and thereto and may not be contradicted by evidence of prior, contemporaneous or subsequent oral agreements of the parties. There are no unwritten oral agreements
between the parties. 
 (c) Except as provided in Section 6.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall
have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by email (in.pdf or similar format) or telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a
manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

 Section 12.07 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement or any other
Loan Document held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and
enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof or thereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. 

Section 12.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default under Section 10.01(a) or
Section 10.01(b) shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits
(general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations (of whatsoever kind, including, without limitations obligations under Swap Agreements) at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the
credit or the account of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary against any of and all the obligations of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary owed to such Lender now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document,
irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations may be unmatured. Such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower after any such set off and
application made by such Lender, but the failure to give such notice will not affect the validity of such set off and application. The rights of each Lender under this Section 12.08 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including
other rights of setoff) which such Lender or its Affiliates may have. 
 Section 12.09 GOVERNING LAW;
JURISDICTION; CONSENT TO SERVICE OF PROCESS.

ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

 Section 12.10 Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used
herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement, and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement. 

Section 12.11 Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent and each Lender agrees to keep confidential all
non-public information provided to it by the Borrower or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries, the Administrative Agent or any Lender pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement that is designated by the provider thereof as confidential;
provided that nothing herein shall prevent the Administrative Agent or any Lender from disclosing any such information (a) to the Administrative Agent, any other Lender or any affiliate thereof (subject, in the case of such disclosure to
any affiliate of the Administrative Agent or a Lender, to the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, being responsible for compliance by such affiliate with the provisions of this Section 12.11), (b) subject to an
agreement to comply with the provisions of this Section, to any actual or prospective Transferee or any direct or indirect counterparty to any Swap Agreement (or any professional advice to such counterparty), (c) to its employees, directors,
agents, attorneys, accountants and other professional advisors or those of any of its affiliates (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), (d) upon the request or demand of any Governmental Authority or self-regulatory bodies that claim oversight over the Administrative Agent, any Arranger or their respective Affiliates or businesses,
(e) in response to any order of any court or other Governmental Authority or as may otherwise be required pursuant to any Law, (f) if requested or required to do so in connection with any litigation or similar proceeding, (g) that has
been publicly disclosed, (h) to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any similar organization or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about a Lender’s investment portfolio in
connection with ratings issued with respect to such Lender, or (i) in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document. 
 Each Lender acknowledges that information furnished to it pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents may include material non-public information concerning the Borrower and its Affiliates and
their related parties or their respective securities, and confirms that it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and that it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with those
procedures and applicable law, including Federal and state securities laws. 

  
 -92-

 All information, including requests for waivers and amendments, furnished by the Borrower or
the Administrative Agent pursuant to, or in the course of administering, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents will be syndicate-level information, which may contain material non-public information about the Borrower and its Affiliates and
their related parties or their respective securities. Accordingly, each Lender represents to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that it has identified in its Administrative Questionnaire a credit contact who may receive information that may
contain material non-public information in accordance with its compliance procedures and applicable law, including Federal and state securities laws. 
 Section 12.12 Interest Rate Limitation. It is the intention of the parties hereto that each Lender shall conform strictly to usury laws applicable to it. Notwithstanding anything herein
to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed
the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan,
together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of
this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the
Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender. 
 Section 12.13
No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and the agreement of the Lenders to make Loans hereunder are solely for the benefit of the Borrower, and no other Person (including, without limitation, any Restricted
Subsidiary, any obligor, contractor, subcontractor, supplier or materialman) shall have any rights, claims, remedies or privileges hereunder or under any other Loan Document against the Administrative Agent or any Lender for any reason whatsoever.
There are no third party beneficiaries. 
 Section 12.14 Collateral Matters; Swap Agreements. The benefit of
the Security Instruments and of the provisions of this Agreement relating to any collateral securing the Indebtedness shall also extend to and be available to the Administrative Agent and those Lenders or their respective Affiliates which are
counterparties to any Secured Swap Agreement with the Borrower or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries on a pro rata basis in respect of any obligations of the Borrower or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries which arise under any such Secured Swap
Agreement while such Person or its Affiliate is a Lender. For the avoidance of doubt, the obligations under any such Secured Swap Agreement will continue to be secured if the Person that is a counterparty to such Secured Swap Agreement ceases to be
the Administrative Agent, a Lender or an Affiliate of the Administrative Agent or a Lender, subject to the limitations set forth in the definition of “Secured Swap Agreement.” None of the Administrative Agent, a Lender or any Affiliate of
the Administrative Agent or a Lender shall have any voting rights under any Loan Document as a result of the existence of obligations owed to it under any Swap Agreements. 
 Section 12.15 Acknowledgements. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that: 
 (a) it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; 

(b) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender has any fiduciary relationship with or duty to the Borrower arising
out of or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and the relationship between the Administrative Agent and Lenders, on one hand, and the Borrower, on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that
of debtor and creditor; and 
 (c) no joint venture is created hereby or by the other Loan Documents or otherwise
exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby among the Lenders or among the Borrower and the Lenders.

 Section 12.16 USA Patriot Act Notice. Each Lender hereby notifies the
Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the
Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Act. 

Section 12.17 Intercreditor Agreement. Reference is made to the Intercreditor Agreement dated as of July 31, 2013
(as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Intercreditor Agreement”), among the Borrower, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as Revolving Facility Administrative Agent (as defined therein), and
Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch, as Term Loan Administrative Agent (as defined therein). Each Lender hereunder (a) acknowledges that it has received a copy of the Intercreditor Agreement, (b) consents to the priority of Liens on the
Collateral provided for in the Intercreditor Agreement, (c) agrees that it will be bound by and will take no actions contrary to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement as if it were a signatory thereto and (d) authorizes and

Agreements with one or more Secured Swap Providers (as defined in the Security Agreement, defined below).

thereto from time to time (the “Guarantors”) in favor of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Creditors (as defined in the Guaranty), the Guarantors have guaranteed the payment of the Indebtedness, and pursuant to
a Security Agreement dated as of July 31, 2013 (as amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Security Agreement”) made by the Borrower, the Subsidiaries of Borrower party thereto from time to time
(together with the Borrower, the “Grantors”), and the Agent for the benefit of the Secured Creditors (as defined in the Security Agreement), the Grantors have granted security interests in the collateral described therein as
security for the Indebtedness. 
 E. Section 4.14 of the Guaranty and Section 9.13 of the Security Agreement provide
that additional Material Subsidiaries of the Borrower may become Guarantors under the Guaranty and Grantors under the Security Agreement by execution and delivery of an instrument in the form of this Agreement. The New Guarantor is executing this
Agreement in accordance with the requirements of the Credit Agreement to become a Guarantor under the Guaranty and a Grantor under the Security Agreement. 
 Accordingly, the Administrative Agent and the New Guarantor agree as follows: 
 1.
In accordance with Section 4.14 of the Guaranty, the New Guarantor by its signature below becomes a Guarantor under the Guaranty with the same force and effect as if originally 

  
 H-1

 
named as a Guarantor in the Guaranty, and the New Guarantor hereby (a) ratifies, as of the date hereof, and agrees to all the terms and provisions of the Guaranty applicable to it as a
Guarantor thereunder and (b) represents and warrants that the representations and warranties made by it as a Guarantor thereunder are true and correct on and as of the date hereof. Each reference to a “Guarantor” in the Guaranty will

documents, and has full notice and knowledge of the terms, conditions and effects thereof. The New Guarantor has, independently and without reliance upon any Secured Creditor or any information received from the Secured Creditors, and based upon
such documents and information as the New Guarantor has deemed appropriate, made its own analysis of the transactions contemplated hereby and the Borrower, the Borrower’s business, assets, operations, prospects and condition, financial or
otherwise, and any circumstances which may bear upon such transactions, the Borrower or the obligations and risks undertaken herein with respect to the Indebtedness, and decision to enter into the Guaranty. The New Guarantor has received the advice
of its attorney in entering into the Guaranty and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party. The New Guarantor has not relied and will not rely upon any representations or warranties of the Administrative Agent not embodied in the Guaranty or

basis information concerning the financial condition and assets of the Borrower, and the New Guarantor is not relying upon any Secured Creditor to provide (and no Secured Creditor will have a duty to provide) any such information to any Guarantor
either now or in the future; and 

  
 H-2

 (b) the representations and warranties set forth in Article VII of the
Credit Agreement are incorporated herein by reference, the same as if stated verbatim herein as representations and warranties made by the New Guarantor, and the New Guarantor, jointly and severally represents and warrants that each of such
representations and warranties are true and correct (which representations and warranties shall be deemed to have been renewed at the time of each Loan under the Credit Agreement); provided that each reference in each such representation and
warranty to the Borrower’s knowledge shall, for the purposes of Section 4(b), be deemed to be a reference to such New Guarantor’s knowledge. 
 5. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which will constitute an original, but all of which when taken together will
constitute a single contract. 
 6. Except as expressly supplemented by this Agreement, the Guaranty and the Security Agreement
remain in full force and effect. 
 7. THIS AGREEMENT IS GOVERNED BY, AND WILL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE
LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

under the Term Facility Credit Agreement are currently due and payable in full (whether as a result of acceleration thereof or otherwise), so long as such payment in full (whether as a result of acceleration or otherwise) has not been rescinded;
provided further, however, that (A) notwithstanding the expiration of such 90 day period or anything herein to the contrary, except for Term Facility Permitted Actions, in no event shall the Term Facility Administrative Agent or any

diligently pursuing (or shall have sought or requested relief from or modification of the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency Proceeding to enable the commencement and pursuit thereof), an Enforcement Action with respect to any
material portion of the Shared Collateral (prompt written notice thereof to be given to the Term Facility Administrative Agent by the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent) (the foregoing being the “Standstill Period”), and

all or any material portion of the Shared Collateral to the extent not in contravention of the terms of this Agreement and are diligently pursuing such actions (it being understood that this clause shall not constitute a waiver by the Revolving
Facility Administrative Agent or the other Revolving Facility Secured Parties of the provisions of Article VI), neither the Revolving Facility Secured Parties nor the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent shall take any action of a similar
nature with respect to such Shared Collateral; provided that all other provisions of this Agreement (including the turnover provisions of Article IV) are complied with; and provided further that the Standstill Period shall be

condemnation award (or deed in lieu of condemnation) relating to any Shared Collateral; 

  
 16

or failure to act by or on behalf of the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent or any other Revolving Facility Secured Party is, or could be, adverse to the interests of the Term Facility Secured Parties with respect to the Shared Collateral, and
will not assert, and hereby waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any right to demand, request, plead or otherwise assert or claim the benefit of any marshaling, appraisal, valuation or other similar right that may be available under
applicable law with respect to the Shared Collateral or any similar rights a secured creditor may have under applicable law; 

provided, however, that (x), in the case of clauses (i) through (vii) above, it is the intention of the parties hereto that the
Liens granted on the Shared Collateral to secure the Term Facility Obligations of the Term Facility Secured Parties shall attach to any and all proceeds resulting from any such Enforcement Action or other exercise of rights or remedies with respect
to the Shared Collateral taken by the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent or any Revolving Facility Secured Party in accordance with this Agreement, which proceeds shall be applied in accordance with Section 4.01 and (y) nothing
in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent or impair the rights of any Secured Party to enforce this Agreement . The foregoing shall not be construed to limit the rights and priorities of any Term Facility Secured Party or Term Facility

Facility Administrative Agent or any other Term Facility Secured Party initiating or joining in an involuntary case or proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code prior to the end of the Standstill Period); provided that (a) no such action is
otherwise inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement and (b) and any judgment Lien obtained by a Secured Party with respect to any of the Shared Collateral as a result of such exercise of rights will be included in the Shared Collateral and

 17 

 
by the Administrative Agents or any other Secured Party of the required payments of principal, premium, interest, fees and other amounts due under the Loan Documents so long as such receipt is

Collateral.

Revolving Facility Administrative Agent, any of the Revolving Facility Liens on the Shared Collateral or, in the case of the Term Facility Administrative Agent, any of the Term Facility Liens on the Shared Collateral, (in each case, a
“Release”), other than any such Release by the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent granted after the occurrence of the Discharge of Revolving Facility Obligations or by the Term Facility Administrative Agent granted after
the occurrence of the Discharge of Term Facility Obligations, then, in the case of a Release by the Revolving Facility Administrative, the Term Facility Liens on such Shared Collateral, or, in the case of a Release by the Term Facility
Administrative Agent, the Revolving Facility Liens on such Shared Collateral , as applicable, shall be automatically, unconditionally and simultaneously released, and, in the case of a Release by the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent, the Term
Facility Administrative Agent shall (at the sole cost and expense of the Grantors), for itself and on behalf of the other Term Facility Secured Parties, promptly execute and deliver to the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent, the relevant
Grantor or such Guarantor such termination statements, releases and other documents as the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent or the relevant Grantor or Guarantor may reasonably request to effectively confirm such Release and, in the case of a
Release by the Term Facility Administrative Agent, the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent shall (at the sole cost and expense of the Grantors), for itself and on behalf of the other Revolving Facility Secured Parties, promptly execute and

Section 3.02(a), so long as the Discharge of Revolving Facility Obligations has not occurred, if any Term Facility Lender or the Term Facility Administrative Agent or other representative of such Term Facility Lender intends to

  
 18 

 
commence any Enforcement Action, then such Term Facility Lender or the Term Facility Administrative Agent or other representative shall endeavor to deliver notice thereof in writing to the
Revolving Facility Administrative Agent; provided that the Term Facility Administrative Agent’s failure to give such notice under this Section 3.05 shall not create any claim or cause of action on the part of any Revolving
Facility Secured Party against the Term Facility Administrative Agent for any reason whatsoever. Such notices may be given during the Standstill Period. 
 Section 3.06 Insurance and Condemnation Awards. 
 So
long as the Discharge of Revolving Facility Obligations has not occurred, the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent and the other Revolving Facility Secured Parties shall have the exclusive right, subject to the rights of the Grantors under the

condemnation, in respect of the Shared Collateral. All proceeds of any such policy and any such award, or any payments with respect to a deed in lieu of condemnation, shall be applied in accordance with Section 4.01. Until the Discharge
of Revolving Facility Obligations has occurred, if the Term Facility Administrative Agent or any other Term Facility Secured Party shall, at any time, receive any proceeds of any such insurance policy or any such award or payment in contravention of
this Agreement, in each case with respect to Shared Collateral, it shall transfer and pay over such proceeds to the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 4.02 for application in accordance with
Section 4.01.

pursuant to preceding clauses (a) and (b), to the Grantors, their successors or assigns, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. 
 If, despite the provisions of this Section 4.01(b), any Secured Party shall receive any payment or other recovery in excess of its portion of payments on account of the Obligations to which it
is then entitled in accordance with this Section 4.01, such Secured Party shall hold such payment or recovery in trust for the benefit of all Secured Parties for distribution in accordance with this Section 4.01. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Shared Collateral for which a third party (other than a Secured Party) has a lien or
security interest that is junior in priority to the security interest of any Series of Obligations but senior (as determined by appropriate legal proceedings in the case of any dispute) to the security interest of any other Series of Obligations
(such third party an “Intervening Creditor”), the value of any Shared Collateral or Proceeds which are allocated to such Intervening Creditor shall be deducted on a ratable basis solely from the Shared Collateral or Proceeds
to be distributed in respect of the Series of Obligations with respect to which such Impairment exists. 
 Upon the Discharge of
Revolving Facility Obligations, the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent shall deliver any remaining Shared Collateral and any Proceeds thereof then held by it in the same form as received, together with any necessary endorsements, (i) to
the Term Facility Administrative Agent to be applied by the Term Facility Administrative Agent to any outstanding Term Facility Obligations, or (ii) if no Term Facility Obligations are outstanding, to the Borrower or such other Person as may be
entitled thereto or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. 
 Section 4.02 Payment
Over. 
 So long as the Discharge of Revolving Facility Obligations has not occurred, any Shared Collateral, or
any Proceeds thereof or payment with respect thereto (together with Shared Collateral or Proceeds), received by any Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party in connection with any Disposition of, or collection on, such Shared

  
 20 

 
Collateral upon the enforcement or the exercise of any right or remedy (including any right of setoff or pursuant to any intercreditor agreement) with respect to the Shared Collateral, shall be
segregated and held in trust and forthwith transferred or paid over to the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent for application in accordance with Section 4.01 in the same form as received, together with any necessary endorsements, or
as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. 
 ARTICLE V 

BAILMENT 

Section 5.01 Bailment for Perfection of Certain Security Interests.  

(a) The Revolving Facility Administrative Agent agrees that if it shall at any time hold a Revolving Facility Lien on any Shared
Collateral that can be perfected by the possession or control of such Shared Collateral or of any account in which such Shared Collateral is held, and if such Shared Collateral or any such account is in fact in the possession or under the control of
the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent, or of agents or bailees of the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent (such Shared Collateral being referred to herein as the “Pledged or Controlled Collateral”), the Revolving
Facility Administrative Agent shall, solely for the purpose of perfecting the Term Facility Liens granted under the Term Facility Loan Documents and subject to the terms and conditions of this Article V, also hold such Pledged or Controlled
Collateral as bailee for the Term Facility Administrative Agent. The Revolving Facility Administrative Agent shall not charge the Term Facility Secured Parties a fee for holding such Pledged or Controlled Collateral as bailee pursuant hereto.

 (b) So long as the Discharge of Revolving Facility Obligations has not occurred, the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent
shall be entitled to deal with the Pledged or Controlled Collateral in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Revolving Facility Loan Documents until the expiration of the Standstill Period or such longer period as provided under
Section 3.02(a). The obligations and responsibilities of the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent to the Term Facility Administrative Agent and the other Term Facility Secured Parties under this Article V shall be limited
solely to holding or controlling the Pledged or Controlled Collateral as bailee in accordance with this Article V. Without limiting the foregoing, the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent shall have no obligation or responsibility to
ensure that any Pledged or Controlled Collateral is genuine or owned by any of the Grantors. The Revolving Facility Administrative Agent acting pursuant to this Article V or otherwise hereunder shall not, by reason of this Agreement, any
other Security Instrument or any other document, have a fiduciary relationship in respect of any other Revolving Facility Secured Party, the Term Facility Administrative Agent or any other Term Facility Secured Party. 

(c) Upon the Discharge of Revolving Facility Obligations, the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent shall transfer the possession and
control of the Pledged or Controlled Collateral, together with any necessary endorsements but without recourse or warranty (other than a representation of the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent that it has not otherwise sold, assigned,
transferred or pledged any right, title or interest in and to such Pledged or Controlled Collateral), (i) if the Term Facility Obligations are outstanding at such time, to the Term Facility Administrative Agent, and (ii) if no Term

  
 21 

 
Facility Obligations are outstanding at such time, to the applicable Grantor or to whomever shall be entitled thereto, in each case so as to allow such Person to obtain possession and control of
such Pledged or Controlled Collateral. In connection with any transfer under clause (i) of the immediately preceding sentence, subject to the provisions of Section 5.01(d), the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent agrees to take
all actions in its power as shall be reasonably requested by the Term Facility Administrative Agent to permit the Term Facility Administrative Agent to obtain, for the benefit of the Term Facility Secured Parties, a first priority security interest
in the Pledged or Controlled Collateral. 
 (d) The Revolving Facility Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any
such action requested by the Term Facility Administrative Agent that the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent in good faith believes exposes it to personal liability for expenses or other amounts unless the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent
receives an indemnity satisfactory to it from the Term Facility Administrative Agent or Term Facility Secured Parties with respect to such action. 
 Section 5.02 Bailment for Perfection of Certain Security Interests – Other Control Collateral (Term Facility Administrative Agent).  

Each of the Term Facility Administrative Agent, each Term Facility Lender and each Revolving Facility Lender agrees that if it shall at
any time hold a Lien on any Shared Collateral that can be perfected by the possession or control of such Shared Collateral or of any account in which such Shared Collateral is held, and if such Shared Collateral or any such account is in fact in the
possession or under the control of the Term Facility Administrative Agent, such Term Facility Lender or such Revolving Facility Lender or of their respective agents or bailees (such Shared Collateral being referred to herein as the “Other
Pledged or Controlled Collateral”), such Term Facility Administrative Agent, Term Facility Lender or Revolving Facility Lender, as applicable, shall, solely for the purpose of perfecting the Revolving Facility Liens granted under the
Revolving Facility Loan Documents and the Term Facility Liens granted under the Term Facility Loan Documents, also hold such Other Pledged or Controlled Collateral as bailee for the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent and, in the case of a Term
Facility Lender or a Revolving Facility Lender, also hold such Other Pledged or Controlled Collateral as bailee for the Term Facility Administrative Agent. No obligations shall be imposed on the Term Facility Administrative Agent, any Revolving
Facility Lender or Term Facility Lender by reason of this Section 5.02, and none of the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent, Term Facility Administrative Agent, Revolving Facility Lender or Term Facility Lender shall have a fiduciary
relationship in respect of any other party. No party shall be required to take any action requested by any other party that such party in good faith believes exposes it to personal liability for expenses or other amounts unless such party receives
an indemnity satisfactory to it from the party requesting action. No Term Facility Lender, Revolving Facility Lender or Term Facility Administrative Agent shall charge the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent a fee for holding such Other Pledged
or Controlled Collateral as bailee pursuant hereto.

 ARTICLE VI 
 INSOLVENCY PROCEEDINGS 
 Section 6.01 Finance and Sale
Matters.  
 (a) Until the Discharge of Revolving Facility Obligations has occurred, the Term Facility
Administrative Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Term Facility Secured Parties, agrees that, in the event of any Insolvency Proceeding, the Term Facility Secured Parties: 

(i) will not oppose or object to the use of any Shared Collateral constituting cash collateral under
Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, or any comparable provision of any other Bankruptcy Law, unless the Revolving Facility Secured Parties, or a representative authorized by the Revolving Facility Secured Parties, shall oppose or object
to such use of cash collateral; 
 (ii) will not oppose or object to any post-petition financing, whether
provided by the Revolving Facility Secured Parties or any other Person, under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code, or any comparable provision of any other Bankruptcy Law (a “DIP Financing”), or the Liens securing
any DIP Financing (“DIP Financing Liens”), unless the Revolving Facility Secured Parties, or a representative authorized by the Revolving Facility Secured Parties, shall then oppose or object to such DIP
Financing or such DIP Financing Liens, and, to the extent that such DIP Financing Liens are senior to the Revolving Facility Liens, the Term Facility Administrative Agent will, for itself and on behalf of the other Term Facility Secured Parties,
subordinate the Term Facility Liens to the DIP Financing Liens on the same terms that the Revolving Facility Liens are subordinated to such DIP Financing Liens; provided that the foregoing shall not prevent the Term Facility Secured Parties from
proposing any other DIP Financing to any Grantors or to a court of competent jurisdiction; and provided further that (a) the foregoing shall not prohibit the Term Facility Administrative Agent or the Term Facility Secured Parties from
objecting to any provisions in any DIP Financing to the extent providing that the DIP Financing can be rolled into an exit financing under a plan of reorganization, (b) the proposed cash collateral use or DIP Financing does not compel any
Grantor to seek confirmation of a specific plan of reorganization for which all or substantially all of the material terms are set forth in the cash collateral order or DIP Financing documentation, as applicable, (c) the proposed cash
collateral order or DIP Financing documentation does not expressly require the sale of all or substantially all of the Collateral prior to a default under the cash collateral order or DIP Financing documentation, and (d) the proposed terms of
any such DIP Financing (including the interest rate, fees, advance rates, and sublimits thereof) are commercially reasonable under the circumstances; 
 (iii) shall not be prohibited from seeking adequate protection in the form of additional collateral, superpriority administrative expense claims, or payments in the form of post-petition interest, fees,
and/or expenses; provided that the Revolving Facility Secured Parties shall also be granted a Lien on such 

  
 23 

 
additional collateral as security for the Revolving Facility Obligations and for any DIP Financing and that any Lien on such additional collateral securing the Term Facility Obligations shall
(A) be subordinated to the Liens on such collateral securing any DIP Financing (and all obligations relating thereto) on the same terms that the Revolving Facility Liens are subordinated to such DIP Financing Liens, and (B) rank pari
passu with any Liens on such collateral securing the Revolving Facility Obligations. 
 (b) Each of the Term Facility
Administrative Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Term Facility Secured Parties, and the Revolving Administrative Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Revolving Facility Secured Parties agrees that no Secured Party shall contest,
or support any other Person in contesting, (i) any request by an Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party for adequate protection or (ii) any objection, based on a claim of a lack of adequate protection, by an Administrative Agent
or any other Secured Party to any motion, relief, action or proceeding. If, in connection with any DIP Financing or use of cash collateral, (A) any Revolving Facility Secured Party is granted adequate protection in the form of a Lien on
additional collateral and/or a superpriority administrative expense claim, the Term Facility Administrative Agent may, for itself and on behalf of the other Term Facility Secured Parties, seek or request adequate protection in the form of a Lien on
such additional collateral and/or a superpriority administrative expense claim, which Lien and/or claim will be pari passu with the Revolving Facility Liens on the same basis as the other Term Facility Liens are pari passu with the
Revolving Facility Liens under this Agreement or (B) any Term Facility Secured Party is granted adequate protection in the form of a Lien on additional collateral and/or a superpriority administrative expense claim, the Revolving Facility
Administrative Agent shall, for itself and on behalf of the other Revolving Facility Secured Parties, be granted adequate protection in the form of a Lien on such additional collateral and/or a superpriority administrative expense claim, which Lien
and/or claim that is pari passu with such Term Facility Lien on the same basis as the other Revolving Facility Liens are pari passu with the Term Facility Liens as security for the Revolving Facility Obligations. 

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the applicable provisions of Section 6.01(a) and (b) shall only be binding on
the Term Facility Secured Parties with respect to any DIP Financing to the extent that the amount of such DIP Financing does not exceed the sum of (i) to the extent Refinanced in connection with, and included as part of, such DIP Financing, the
aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Facility Obligations in effect immediately prior to the commencement of such Insolvency Proceeding, plus (ii) the lesser of (A) $25,000,000 and (B) an amount equal to 20% of the
aggregate existing principal amount of the Revolving Facility Obligations outstanding in effect immediately prior to the commencement of such Insolvency Proceeding. 
 Section 6.02 Reorganization Securities. 
 If, in any
Insolvency Proceeding, debt obligations of the reorganized debtor secured by Liens upon any Property of the reorganized debtor are distributed, pursuant to a plan of reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan, on account of both the
Revolving Facility Obligations and the Term Facility Obligations, then, to the extent the 

  
 24 

 
debt obligations distributed on account of the Revolving Facility Obligations and on account of the Term Facility Obligations are secured by Liens upon the same Property, the provisions of this
Agreement will survive the distribution of such debt obligations pursuant to such plan and will apply with like effect to the Liens securing such debt obligations. 
 Section 6.03 Post-Petition Interest.  
 (a) Each of the
Term Facility Administrative Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Term Facility Secured Parties, and the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Revolving Facility Secured Parties, agrees that no
Secured Party shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by a Secured Party for allowance or payment in any Insolvency Proceeding of Obligations consisting of post-petition interest, fees or expenses to the extent of the value of the Liens;
provided that any such amount, if allowed or paid in such Insolvency Proceeding, allocated ratably and equally with respect to Liens securing the Revolving Facility Obligations and the Term Facility Obligations that are valid, perfected and
not avoided in such Insolvency Proceeding. 
 Section 6.04 Certain Waivers by the Term Facility Secured
Parties.  
 The Term Facility Administrative Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Term Facility Secured
Parties waives any claim any Term Facility Secured Party may hereafter have against any Revolving Facility Secured Party arising out of any use of cash collateral or financing arrangement, or any grant of a security interest in the Shared
Collateral, in any Insolvency Proceeding so long as such action is not in contravention of this Agreement. 

Section 6.05 Certain Voting Matters.  
 Each of the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Revolving Facility Secured Parties and the Term Facility Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Term Facility Secured Parties, agrees
that, without the written consent of the other, it will not seek to vote with the other as a single class in connection with any plan of reorganization in any Insolvency Proceeding; provided, that the Term Facility Secured Party shall vote
for any plan of reorganization supported by the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent that results in receipt of net cash proceeds upon confirmation of such plan, which when applied in accordance with this Agreement is sufficient to achieve
Discharge of the Term Facility Obligations. Except as provided in this Section 6.05, nothing in this Agreement is intended, or shall be construed, to limit the ability of either Administrative Agent or the Secured Parties to vote on any
plan of reorganization. 
 Section 6.06 Separate Grants of Security and Separate Classification. 

 Each of the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Revolving Facility Secured Parties and the Term
Facility Administrative Agent on behalf of the Term Facility Secured Parties, acknowledges and agrees that (a) the grants of Liens pursuant to the Revolving Facility Loan Documents and the Term Facility Loan

  
 25 

 
Documents constitute two separate and distinct grants of Liens and (b) the Term Facility Obligations are fundamentally different from the Revolving Facility Obligations and must be
separately classified in any plan of reorganization proposed or adopted in an Insolvency Proceeding. 
 ARTICLE VII

 OTHER AGREEMENTS 
 Section 7.01 Matters Relating to Loan Documents.  
 (a)
Without the prior written consent of the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent, the Term Facility Administrative Agent agrees that no Term Facility Security Instrument may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified or entered into to the
extent such amendment, supplement or modification, or the terms of any new Term Facility Security Instrument would be prohibited by, or would require any Grantor to act or refrain from acting in a manner that would violate, any of the terms of this
Agreement. 
 (b) Without the prior written consent of the Term Facility Administrative Agent, the Revolving Facility
Administrative Agent agrees that no Revolving Facility Security Instrument may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified or entered into to the extent such amendment, supplement or modification, or the terms of any new Revolving Facility
Security Instrument would be prohibited by, or would require any Grantor to act or refrain from acting in a manner that would violate, any of the terms of this Agreement. 
 (c) Each of the Borrower and the Term Facility Administrative Agent agrees that the Term Facility Credit Agreement and each Term Facility Security Instrument with respect to Shared Collateral shall
contain the applicable provisions set forth on Annex I hereto, or similar provisions approved by the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent acting reasonably, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

 (d) Each of the Borrower and the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent agrees that the Revolving Facility Credit Agreement
and each Revolving Facility Security Instrument with respect to Shared Collateral shall contain the applicable provisions set forth on Annex II hereto, or similar provisions approved by the Term Facility Administrative Agent acting
reasonably, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. 
 (e) In determining whether an
amendment to any Security Instrument is permitted by this Section 7.01, each Administrative Agent may conclusively rely on an officer’s certificate of the Borrower stating that such amendment is permitted by this
Section 7.01. 
 Section 7.02 Effect of Refinancing of Indebtedness under Revolving Facility Loan
Documents. 
 If, substantially contemporaneously with the Discharge of Revolving Facility Obligations (and
subject to consent of the Term Facility Required Lenders to the extent 

  
 26 

 
such consent is required under the Term Facility Credit Agreement), the Borrower Refinances the Revolving Facility Obligations (including an increase thereof, or any change to the terms thereof
to the extent permitted by Section 7.01 hereof) and provided that (a) such Refinancing is permitted hereby and (b) the Borrower gives to the Term Facility Administrative Agent written notice (the “Refinancing
Notice”) electing the application of the provisions of this Section 7.02 to such Refinancing Indebtedness, then (i) such Discharge of Revolving Facility Obligations shall automatically be deemed not to have occurred for
all purposes of this Agreement, (ii) such Refinancing Indebtedness and all other obligations under the loan documents evidencing such indebtedness (the “New Revolving Facility Obligations”) shall automatically be treated
as Revolving Facility Obligations for all purposes of this Agreement, including for purposes of the Lien priorities and rights in respect of Shared Collateral set forth herein, (iii) the credit agreement and the other loan documents evidencing
such Refinancing Indebtedness (the “New Revolving Facility Loan Documents”) shall automatically be treated as the Revolving Facility Credit Agreement and the Revolving Facility Loan Documents and, in the case of New Revolving
Facility Loan Documents that are security documents, as the Revolving Facility Security Instruments for all purposes of this Agreement, (iv) the Administrative Agent under the New Revolving Facility Loan Documents (the “New Revolving
Facility Administrative Agent”) shall be deemed to be the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent for all purposes of this Agreement, (v) the lenders under the New Revolving Facility Loan Documents shall be deemed to be the
Revolving Facility Lenders for all purposes of this Agreement, and (vi) the defined terms hereof that are incorporated by reference to the Revolving Facility Loan Documents shall refer to the equivalent defined terms in the New Revolving
Facility Loan Documents. Upon receipt of a Refinancing Notice, which notice shall include the identity of the New Revolving Facility Administrative Agent, the Term Facility Administrative Agent shall promptly enter into such documents and agreements
(including amendments or supplements to this Agreement) as the Borrower or such New Revolving Facility Administrative Agent may reasonably request in order to provide to the New Revolving Facility Administrative Agent the rights and powers
contemplated hereby, in each case consistent in all material respects with the terms of this Agreement. The Borrower shall cause the agreement, document or instrument pursuant to which the New Revolving Facility Administrative Agent is appointed to
provide that the New Revolving Facility Administrative Agent agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. In furtherance of Section 2.03, if the New Revolving Facility Obligations are secured by Property of the Grantors that do not
also secure the Term Facility Obligations, the applicable Grantors shall promptly grant a Term Facility Lien on such Property to secure the Term Facility Obligations. 
 Section 7.03 No Waiver by Secured Parties.  
 Other than
as may be expressly provided herein, nothing contained herein shall prohibit or in any way limit either Administrative Agent or any Secured Party from opposing, challenging or objecting to, in any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise, any action
taken, or any claim made, by any other Secured Party, including any request by an Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party for adequate protection or any exercise by an Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party of any of its rights and
remedies under the Loan Documents or otherwise. 

  
 27 

 Section 7.04 Reinstatement. 

If, in any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise, all or part of any payment with respect to the Obligations previously made shall be
rescinded for any reason whatsoever, then the Obligations shall be reinstated to the extent of the amount so rescinded and, if theretofore terminated, this Agreement shall be reinstated in full force and effect and such prior termination shall not
diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the Lien priorities and the relative rights and obligations of the Secured Parties provided for herein.

 Each of the
Revolving Facility Administrative Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Revolving Facility Secured Parties, and the Term Facility Administrative Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Term Facility Secured Parties, and the Borrower, for
itself and on behalf of its Subsidiaries that are Grantors, agrees that it will execute, or will cause to be executed, any and all further documents, agreements and instruments, and take all such further actions, as may be required under any
applicable law, or which the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent or the Term Facility Administrative Agent may reasonably request, to effectuate the terms of this Agreement, including the relative Lien priorities provided for herein. The parties
further agree that, notwithstanding any failure to take the actions required by the immediately preceding sentence, each Person that becomes a Grantor at any time (and any security granted by any such Person) will be subject to the provisions hereof
as fully as if it constituted a Grantor party hereto and had complied with the requirements of the immediately preceding sentence. Each Grantor party hereto agrees to cause each of its Subsidiaries formed or acquired after the date hereof that is a
Grantor to become a party for all purposes of this Agreement by executing and delivering either the form of Assumption Agreement (in the case of the Revolving Facility Credit Agreement) attached to the Guarantee (as defined in the Revolving Facility
Credit Agreement) and the form of Joinder Agreement (in the case of the Term Facility Credit Agreement) attached to the Security Agreement (as defined in the Term Facility Credit Agreement) or another assumption agreement in form and substance
acceptable to the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent and the Term Facility Administrative Agent. 
 Section 7.06
Notice of Exercise of Remedies.  
 Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each of the Revolving Facility
Administrative Agent and the Term Facility Administrative Agent shall endeavor to provide advance notice to each other of an acceleration of any Obligations in respect of the Revolving Facility Obligations or the Term Facility Obligations, as the
case may be (other than with respect to any automatic accelerations thereunder); provided, however, neither party’s failure to give such notice under this Section 7.06 shall (a) create any claim or cause of action on the part
of the other party against the party failing to give such notice for any reason whatsoever or (b) impair the effectiveness of any such acceleration. Nothing contained in this Section 7.06 shall limit, restrict, alleviate, or amend
any notice requirement otherwise provided in this Agreement or otherwise required under applicable law.

 Notices sent by hand or overnight courier service, or mailed by certified or registered mail, shall be deemed to have been given when received; notices sent by telecopier shall be deemed to have been
given when sent if the sender receives an acknowledgement of receipt (except that, if not given during normal business hours for the recipient, shall be deemed to have been given at the opening of business on the next business day for the

 (b) Electronic Communications. Notices and other communications may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including e-mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures
approved by the Administrative Agents, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any party if such party has notified the other parties hereto that it is incapable of receiving notices by electronic communication. 

  
 32 

 Unless the applicable Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other
communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other

Section 10.03 Effectiveness; Survival.  

This Agreement shall become effective when executed and delivered by the parties hereto. All covenants, agreements, representations and
warranties made by any party in this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement. The terms of this Agreement shall survive, and shall continue in
full force and effect, in any Insolvency Proceeding. The Term Facility Administrative Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Term Facility Secured Parties, hereby waives any and all rights the Term Facility Secured Parties may now or hereafter
have under applicable law to revoke this Agreement or any of the provisions of this Agreement. The Revolving Facility Administrative Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Revolving Facility Secured Parties, hereby waives any and all rights

more of the provisions contained in this Agreement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired
thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties shall endeavor in good-faith
negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions. 

  
 33 

 Section 10.05 Amendments; Waivers.  

(a) No failure or delay on the part of any party hereto in exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor
shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights
and remedies of the parties hereto are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by any party therefrom shall in any event be
effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section 10.05, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. 

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be terminated, waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or
agreements in writing entered into by the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent and the Term Facility Administrative Agent, (and with respect to any such termination, waiver, amendment or modification to Article VI or which otherwise by the terms
of this Agreement requires the Borrower’s consent or which increases the obligations or reduces the rights of the Borrower or any other Grantor, with the written consent of the Borrower or such Grantor). 

Section 10.06 Applicable Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.  

(a) THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY CLAIMS, CONTROVERSY, DISPUTE OR CAUSE OF ACTION (WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE) BASED

(b) ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK,
COUNTY OF MANHATTAN OR OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND, BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, EACH PARTY HEREBY ACCEPTS FOR ITSELF AND (TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW) IN RESPECT OF ITS
PROPERTY, GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY, THE JURISDICTION OF THE AFORESAID COURTS. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION, INCLUDING ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OR BASED ON THE GROUNDS OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS, WHICH IT MAY NOW
OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE BRINGING OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN SUCH RESPECTIVE JURISDICTIONS. THIS SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION IS NON-EXCLUSIVE AND DOES NOT PRECLUDE A PARTY FROM OBTAINING JURISDICTION OVER ANOTHER PARTY IN ANY COURT OTHERWISE
HAVING JURISDICTION. 

  
 34 

 (c) Each party to this Agreement agrees that service of process in any such action or
proceeding may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be effected by delivering a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to the Borrower, as the case may be at its address set
forth in Section 10.01 or at such other address of which the Administrative Agents shall have been notified pursuant thereto. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other
manner permitted by law. 
 (d) The parties agree that this Agreement is a “subordination agreement” under
Section 510 of the Bankruptcy Code and Section 9.339 of the UCC.

BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR
OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY 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, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE
MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 10.08. 
 Section 10.08 Parties in Interest. 

 The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their
respective successors and assigns, as well as the other Revolving Facility Secured Parties and Term Facility Secured Parties, all of whom are intended to be bound by, and to be third party beneficiaries of, this Agreement. No other Person shall have
or be entitled to assert rights or benefits hereunder. No provision of this Agreement will inure to the benefit of a trustee, debtor-in-possession, creditor trust or other representative of an estate or creditor of the Borrower or any other Grantor,
including where such estate or creditor representative is the beneficiary of a Lien securing Shared Collateral by virtue of the avoidance of such Lien in an Insolvency Proceeding. If either the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent or the Term
Facility Administrative Agent resigns or is replaced pursuant to the Revolving Facility Credit Agreement or the Term Facility Credit Agreement, as applicable, its successor will be a party to this Agreement with all the rights, and subject to all
the obligations of this Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, this Agreement may not be assigned to any Person except as expressly contemplated herein. 

Section 10.09 Specific Performance.  
 Each Administrative Agent may demand specific performance of this Agreement and, on behalf of itself and the respective other Secured Parties, hereby irrevocably

  
 35 

 
waives any defense based on the adequacy of a remedy at law and any other defense that might be asserted to bar the remedy of specific performance in any action which may be brought by the
respective Secured Parties. 
 Section 10.10 Headings.  

Article and Section headings used herein and the Table of Contents hereto are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this
Agreement and are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement. 

Section 10.11 Counterparts.  
 This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original but all of which when taken together shall constitute
a single contract. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission (e.g., .pdf) shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Agreement. 

Section 10.12 Provisions Solely to Define Relative Rights.  

The provisions of this Agreement are and are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the Revolving Facility
Secured Parties, on the one hand, and the Term Facility Secured Parties, on the other hand. No Person is a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, none of the Borrower, any other Grantor, any
Guarantor or any other creditor thereof shall have any rights or obligations hereunder and none of the Borrower, any other Grantor or any Guarantor may rely on the terms hereof. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to or shall impair the
obligations of the Borrower or any other Grantor or any Guarantor, which are absolute and unconditional, to pay the Revolving Facility Obligations and the Term Facility Obligations as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with
their terms. 
 Section 10.13 Sharing of Information. 

The Grantors agree that any information provided to the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent, the Term Facility Administrative Agent,
any Revolving Facility Secured Party or any Term Facility Secured Party may be shared by such Person with any Revolving Facility Secured Party, any Term Facility Secured Party, the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent or the Term Facility
Administrative Agent notwithstanding a request or demand by such Grantor that such information be kept confidential; provided, that such information shall otherwise be subject to the respective confidentiality provisions in the Revolving
Facility Credit Agreement and the Term Facility Credit Agreement, as applicable. 
 Section 10.14 No Indirect
Actions.  
 Unless otherwise expressly stated, if a party may not take an action under this Agreement, then it
may not take that action indirectly, or support any other Person in taking that action directly or indirectly. “Taking an action indirectly” means taking an action that is not expressly prohibited for the party but is intended to have
substantially the same effects as the prohibited action.
