DEBTOR-IN-POSSESSION TERM LOAN CREDIT AGREEMENT 

THIS DEBTOR-IN-POSSESSION TERM LOAN CREDIT AGREEMENT (this
“Agreement”), is entered into as of April 30, 2017, by and among the lenders identified on the signature pages hereof (each of such lenders, together with its successors and permitted assigns, is referred to hereinafter as a
“Lender”, as that term is hereinafter further defined), WILMINGTON SAVINGS FUND SOCIETY, FSB, as administrative agent for each member of the Lender Group (in such capacity, together with its successors and assigns in such
capacity, “Administrative Agent”), and NUVERRA ENVIRONMENTAL SOLUTIONS, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Borrower”). 

WHEREAS, on the date hereof (the “Filing Date”), Borrower and certain of its affiliates (collectively, the
“Debtors”) will file voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code (to be jointly administered, collectively, the “Cases”) before the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of
Delaware (together with any other court having competent jurisdiction over the Cases from time to time, the “Bankruptcy Court”); 

WHEREAS, the Debtors are continuing to operate their businesses and manage their properties as debtors-in-possession under Section 1107 and 1108 of the Bankruptcy Code; 
 WHEREAS,
pursuant to that certain Term Loan Credit Agreement, dated as of April 15, 2016 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Prepetition Credit Agreement”), by and among Borrower, Wilmington
Savings Fund Society, FSB, as administrative agent (in such capacity, “Prepetition Agent”), and the lenders from time to time party thereto (the “Prepetition Lenders”), Prepetition Lenders made certain term loans
and other financial accommodations available to Borrower prior to the Filing Date on the terms and conditions set forth therein, which term loans and other financial accommodations and all other Prepetition Obligations thereunder are secured by
Liens on substantially all the assets of Borrower and its Subsidiaries; 
 WHEREAS, Borrower has requested that the Lenders provide a
secured term credit facility (the “DIP Facility”) to Borrower to (i) fund certain fees and expenses associated with the DIP Facility incurred during the Cases, subject to the Budget, (ii) finance the ongoing general
corporate needs of Borrower and the other Debtors incurred during the Cases, subject to the Budget, (iii) pay for certain of the Debtors’ administrative expenses incurred during the Cases as debtors and debtors-in-possession under the Bankruptcy Code, subject to the Budget, and (iv) provide for adequate protection in favor of Prepetition Lenders and the “Lenders” under and as defined in the
Revolving Credit Agreement, as applicable, until the Revolving Credit Agreement Obligations are paid in full upon entry of the Final Order; and 

WHEREAS, Lenders are willing to provide the DIP Facility on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. 

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration,
the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows: 
  

	1.	DEFINITIONS AND CONSTRUCTION. 

 1.1.    Definitions.
Capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings specified therefor on Schedule 1.1. 

  

 1.2.    Accounting Terms. All accounting terms not specifically
defined herein shall be construed in accordance with GAAP; provided, that if Borrower notifies Administrative Agent that Borrower requests an amendment to any provision hereof to eliminate the effect of any Accounting Change occurring after
the Closing Date or in the application thereof on the operation of such provision (or if Administrative Agent notifies Borrower that the Required Lenders request an amendment to any provision hereof for such purpose), regardless of whether any such
notice is given before or after such Accounting Change or in the application thereof, then Administrative Agent and Borrower agree that they will negotiate in good faith amendments to the provisions of this Agreement that are directly affected by
such Accounting Change with the intent of having the respective positions of the Lenders and Borrower after such Accounting Change conform as nearly as possible to their respective positions prior to giving effect to such Accounting Change and,
until any such amendments have been agreed upon and agreed to by the Required Lenders, the provisions in this Agreement shall be calculated as if no such Accounting Change had occurred. When used herein, the term “financial statements”
shall include the notes and schedules thereto. Whenever the term “Borrower” is used in respect of a financial covenant or a related definition, it shall be understood to mean Borrower and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, unless
the context clearly requires otherwise. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (a) all financial statements delivered hereunder shall be prepared, and all financial covenants contained herein shall be calculated, without
giving effect to any election under the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159 (or any similar accounting principle) permitting a Person to value its financial liabilities or Indebtedness at the fair value thereof, and (b) the
term “unqualified opinion” as used herein to refer to opinions or reports provided by accountants shall mean an opinion or report that is (i) unqualified, and (ii) does not include any explanation, supplemental comment, or other
comment concerning the ability of the applicable Person to continue as a going concern or concerning the scope of the audit. 

1.3.    Code. Any terms used in this Agreement that are defined in the Code shall be construed and defined
as set forth in the Code unless otherwise defined herein; provided, that to the extent that the Code is used to define any term herein and such term is defined differently in different Articles of the Code, the definition of such term
contained in Article 9 of the Code shall govern. 
 1.4.    Construction. Unless the context of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document clearly requires otherwise, references to the plural include the singular, references to the singular include the plural, the terms “includes” and “including” are not limiting, and the term
“or” has, except where otherwise indicated, the inclusive meaning represented by the phrase “and/or.” The words “hereof,” “herein,” “hereby,” “hereunder,” and similar terms in this
Agreement or any other Loan Document refer to this Agreement or such other Loan Document, as the case may be, as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement or such other Loan Document, as the case may be. Section, subsection,
clause, schedule, and exhibit references herein are to this Agreement unless otherwise specified. Any reference in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document to any agreement, instrument, or document shall include all alterations, amendments,
changes, extensions, modifications, renewals, replacements, substitutions, joinders, and supplements, thereto and thereof, as applicable (subject to any restrictions on such alterations, amendments, changes, extensions, modifications, renewals,
replacements, substitutions, joinders, and supplements set forth herein). The words “asset” and “property” shall be construed to have the same meaning and effect and to refer to any and all tangible and intangible assets and
properties. Any reference herein or in any other Loan Document to the satisfaction, repayment, or payment in full of the Obligations shall mean (a) the indefeasible payment or repayment in full in immediately available funds of (i) the
principal amount of, and interest accrued and unpaid with respect to, all outstanding Loans, together with the payment of any premium applicable to the repayment of the Loans (subject to the proviso to Section 2.1(b)), (ii) all Lender
Group Expenses that have accrued and are unpaid regardless of whether demand has been made therefor, (iii) all fees or charges that have accrued hereunder or under any other Loan Document and are unpaid, (b) the payment or repayment in
full in immediately available 

  
 -2- 

 
funds of all other outstanding Obligations other than unasserted contingent indemnification Obligations, and (c) the termination of all of the Commitments of the Lenders. Any reference
herein to any Person shall be construed to include such Person’s successors and assigns. Any requirement of a writing contained herein or in any other Loan Document shall be satisfied by the transmission of a Record. 

1.5.    Time References. Unless the context of this Agreement or any other Loan Document clearly requires
otherwise, all references to time of day refer to Eastern standard time or Eastern daylight saving time, as in effect in Atlanta, Georgia on such day. For purposes of the computation of a period of time from a specified date to a later specified
date, the word “from” means “from and including” and the words “to” and “until” each means “to and including”; provided that, with respect to a computation of fees or interest payable to
Administrative Agent or any Lender, such period shall in any event consist of at least one full day. 

1.6.    Schedules and Exhibits. All of the schedules and exhibits attached to this Agreement shall be deemed
incorporated herein by reference. 
  

	2.	LOANS AND TERMS OF PAYMENT. 

 2.1.    Term Loan. 

(a)    Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Term Lender agrees (severally, not jointly or jointly
and severally) to make a simultaneous loan or loans (“Term Loans”) to Borrower in an amount not to exceed such Lender’s Term Commitment as follows: 

(i)    The Initial Advance. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Financing Order, each
Lender severally agrees to make a Term Loan to Borrower on the Closing Date (such loan, the “Initial Advance”) in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the lesser of (x) $2,500,000 and (y) the amount authorized by the
Bankruptcy Court in the Interim Order (such lesser amount, the “Initial Advance Amount”); and 

(ii)    Subsequent Advances. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Financing Order, each
Lender severally agrees to make a Term Loan to Borrower on each Subsequent Advance Date (each such loan, the “Subsequent Advance”) in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the lowest of (x) (A) $12,500,000, minus (B) the sum
of the Initial Advance Amount and all prior Subsequent Advance Amounts, (y) the Required Budget Amount and (z) the amount authorized by the Bankruptcy Court in the Financing Order (each such lowest amount, the “Subsequent Advance
Amount”); 
 provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the aggregate amount of Advances made prior to the entry of the Final Order by
the Bankruptcy Court (including the Initial Advance Amount) shall not exceed $7,500,000. 
 (b)    Amounts borrowed
pursuant to this Section 2.1 may be repaid subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, but once repaid may not be reborrowed at any time during the term of this Agreement. The outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans,
together with interest accrued and unpaid thereon, shall constitute Obligations and shall be due and payable in cash on the Maturity Date or, if earlier, on the date on which they are declared due and payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement;
provided that, subject to and as described in Borrower’s confirmed Chapter 11 plan of reorganization, which is consistent with the Restructuring Support Agreement and otherwise satisfactory to the Lenders, all or a portion of the
Obligations may be satisfied on the Maturity Date by the issuance to 

  
 -3- 

 
the Lenders of Equity Interests of reorganized Borrower on terms and conditions set forth in such confirmed Chapter 11 plan of reorganization. 

2.2.    [Intentionally Omitted]. 

2.3.    Borrowing Procedures. 

(a)    Procedure for Borrowing Term Loans. Each Borrowing described in Section 2.1(a) shall be made by a
written request by an Authorized Person delivered to Administrative Agent and each Lender and received by Administrative Agent and each Lender no later than 10:00 a.m. on the Business Day that is 2 Business Days prior to the requested Funding Date
(or such later time as agreed upon by the Administrative Agent with respect to a particular Borrowing), specifying (A) the amount of such Borrowing, and (B) the requested Funding Date (which shall be a Business Day); provided, that
Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to accept as timely requests that are received later than 10:00 a.m. on the applicable Business Day. At Administrative Agent’s and the Lenders’ sole election, in lieu of delivering
the above-described written request, any Authorized Person may give Administrative Agent and the Lenders telephonic notice of such request by the required time. In such circumstances, Borrower agrees that any such telephonic notice will be confirmed
in writing within 24 hours of the giving of such telephonic notice, but the failure to provide such written confirmation shall not affect the validity of the request. 

(b)    [Intentionally Omitted]. 

(c)    Making of Term Loans. 

(i)    If an Authorized Person has delivered notice to the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders of a requested
Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.3(a), then each Lender shall make the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the requested Borrowing available to Administrative Agent in immediately available funds, to Administrative
Agent’s Account, not later than 10:00 a.m. on the Business Day that is the requested Funding Date. After Administrative Agent’s receipt of the proceeds of such Term Loans from the Lenders as provided in the preceding sentence,
Administrative Agent shall make the proceeds thereof available to Borrower on the applicable Funding Date by transferring immediately available funds equal to such proceeds received by Administrative Agent to the Designated Account; provided,
that, unless such condition has been waived by the Required Lenders pursuant to Section 2.14(a), no Lender shall have an obligation to make more than one Advance in any week or make any Term Loan if one or more of the applicable conditions
precedent set forth in Section 3 will not be satisfied on the requested Funding Date for the applicable Borrowing. 

(ii)    Unless Administrative Agent receives notice from a Lender prior to 9:30 a.m. on the Business Day that is one
Business Day prior to the requested Funding Date relative to a requested Borrowing as to which Administrative Agent has notified the Lenders of a requested Borrowing that such Lender will not make available as and when required hereunder to
Administrative Agent for the account of Borrower the amount of that Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Borrowing, Administrative Agent may (but shall not be required to) assume that each Lender has made or will make such amount available to
Administrative Agent in immediately available funds on the Funding Date and Administrative Agent may (but shall not be so required), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrower a corresponding amount. If, on the requested Funding
Date, any Lender shall not have remitted the full amount that it is required to make available to Administrative Agent in immediately available funds and if Administrative Agent has made available to Borrower such amount on the requested Funding
Date, then such Lender shall make the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the requested Borrowing available to Administrative Agent in immediately available funds, to Administrative Agent’s Account, no later than

  
 -4- 

 
10:00 a.m. on the Business Day that is the first Business Day after the requested Funding Date (in which case, the interest accrued on such Lender’s portion of such Borrowing for the Funding
Date shall be for Administrative Agent’s separate account). If any Lender shall not remit the full amount that it is required to make available to Administrative Agent in immediately available funds as and when required hereby and if
Administrative Agent has made available to Borrower such amount, then that Lender shall be obligated to immediately remit such amount to Administrative Agent, together with interest at the Defaulting Lender Rate for each day until the date on which
such amount is so remitted. A notice submitted by Administrative Agent to any Lender with respect to amounts owing under this Section 2.3(c)(ii) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. If the amount that a Lender is required to remit is
made available to Administrative Agent, then such payment to Administrative Agent shall constitute such Lender’s Term Loan for all purposes of this Agreement. If such amount is not made available to Administrative Agent on the Business Day
following the Funding Date, Administrative Agent will notify Borrower of such failure to fund and, upon demand by Administrative Agent, Borrower shall pay such amount to Administrative Agent for Administrative Agent’s account, together with
interest thereon for each day elapsed since the date of such Borrowing, at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable at the time to the Term Loans composing such Borrowing. 

(d)    [Intentionally Omitted]. 

(e)    [Intentionally Omitted]. 

(f)    Notation. Administrative Agent, as a non-fiduciary agent for
Borrower, shall maintain a register showing the principal amount of the Term Loans owing to each Lender, and the interests therein of each Lender, from time to time and such register shall, absent manifest error, conclusively be presumed to be
correct and accurate. 
 (g)    Defaulting Lenders. 

(i)    Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.4(b)(ii), Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to
transfer to a Defaulting Lender any payments made by Borrower to Administrative Agent for the Defaulting Lender’s benefit or any proceeds of Collateral that would otherwise be remitted hereunder to the Defaulting Lender, and, in the absence of
such transfer to the Defaulting Lender, Administrative Agent shall transfer any such payments (A) first, to each Non-Defaulting Lender ratably in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares (but, in each case,
only to the extent that such Defaulting Lender’s portion of a Term Loan (or other funding obligation) was funded by such other Non-Defaulting Lender), (B) second, in Administrative Agent’s sole
discretion, to a suspense account maintained by Administrative Agent, the proceeds of which shall be retained by Administrative Agent and may be made available to be re-advanced to or for the benefit of
Borrower (upon the request of Borrower and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 3.2) as if such Defaulting Lender had made its portion of Term Loans (or other funding obligations) hereunder, and (C) third, from and after
the date on which all other Obligations have been paid in full, to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with tier (G) of Section 2.4(b)(ii). Subject to the foregoing, Administrative Agent may hold and, in its discretion, re-lend to Borrower for the account of such Defaulting Lender the amount of all such payments received and retained by Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender. Solely for the purposes of
voting or consenting to matters with respect to the Loan Documents (including the calculation of Pro Rata Share in connection therewith) and for the purpose of calculating the fee payable under Section 2.10(b), such Defaulting Lender shall be
deemed not to be a “Lender” and such Lender’s Commitment shall be deemed to be zero; provided, that the foregoing shall not apply to any of the matters governed by Section 14.1(a)(i) through (iii). The provisions
of this Section 2.3(g) shall remain effective with respect to such Defaulting Lender until the earlier of (y) the date on which all of the Non-Defaulting Lenders, Administrative Agent and Borrower
shall have waived, in writing, the application of this Section 2.3(g) to 

  
 -5- 

 
such Defaulting Lender, or (z) the date on which such Defaulting Lender makes payment of all amounts that it was obligated to fund hereunder, pays to Administrative Agent all amounts owing
by Defaulting Lender in respect of the amounts that it was obligated to fund hereunder, and, if requested by Administrative Agent, provides adequate assurance of its ability to perform its future obligations hereunder. The operation of this
Section 2.3(g) shall not be construed to increase or otherwise affect the Commitment of any Lender, to relieve or excuse the performance by such Defaulting Lender or any other Lender of its duties and obligations hereunder, or to relieve or
excuse the performance by Borrower or any other Loan Party of its duties and obligations hereunder to Administrative Agent or to the Lenders other than such Defaulting Lender. Any failure by a Defaulting Lender to fund amounts that it was obligated
to fund hereunder shall constitute a material breach by such Defaulting Lender of this Agreement and shall entitle Borrower, at its option, upon written notice to Administrative Agent, to arrange for a substitute Lender to assume the Commitment of
such Defaulting Lender, such substitute Lender to be reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent. In connection with the arrangement of such a substitute Lender, the Defaulting Lender shall have no right to refuse to be replaced hereunder, and
agrees to execute and deliver a completed form of Assignment and Acceptance in favor of the substitute Lender (and agrees that it shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such document if it fails to do so) subject only to being paid its share
of the outstanding Obligations; provided, that any such assumption of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of any of the Lender Groups’ or Borrower’s rights or remedies against any such
Defaulting Lender arising out of or in relation to such failure to fund. In the event of a direct conflict between the priority provisions of this Section 2.3(g) and any other provision contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document,
it is the intention of the parties hereto that such provisions be read together and construed, to the fullest extent possible, to be in concert with each other. In the event of any actual, irreconcilable conflict that cannot be resolved as
aforesaid, the terms and provisions of this Section 2.3(g) shall control and govern. 
 (h)    Independent
Obligations. The Term Loans shall be made by the Lenders contemporaneously and in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares. It is understood that (i) no Lender shall be responsible for any failure by any other Lender to perform its obligation
to make any Term Loan (or other extension of credit) hereunder, nor shall any Commitment of any Lender be increased or decreased as a result of any failure by any other Lender to perform its obligations hereunder, and (ii) no failure by any
Lender to perform its obligations hereunder shall excuse any other Lender from its obligations hereunder. 

2.4.    Payments; Reductions of Commitments; Prepayments. 

(a)    Payments by Borrower. 

(i)    Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by Borrower shall be made to Administrative
Agent’s Account for the account of the Lender Group and shall be made in immediately available funds, no later than 1:30 p.m. on the date specified herein. Any payment received by Administrative Agent later than 1:30 p.m. shall be deemed to
have been received (unless Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, elects to credit it on the date received) on the following Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue until such following Business Day. 

(ii)    Unless Administrative Agent receives notice from Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the
Lenders that Borrower will not make such payment in full as and when required, Administrative Agent may (but shall not be so required) assume that Borrower has made (or will make) such payment in full to Administrative Agent on such date in
immediately available funds and Administrative Agent may (but shall not be so required), in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the

  
 -6- 

 
extent Borrower does not make such payment in full to Administrative Agent on the date when due, each Lender severally shall repay to Administrative Agent on demand such amount distributed to
such Lender, together with interest thereon at the Defaulting Lender Rate for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date repaid. 

(b)    Apportionment and Application. 

(i)    [Intentionally Omitted]. 

(ii)    Except as otherwise set forth in the Financing Order and the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement, all payments
remitted to Administrative Agent and all proceeds of Collateral received by Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent shall be applied as follows: 

(A)    first, ratably, to pay any Lender Group Expenses (including cost or expense reimbursements) or indemnities
then due to any Agent under the Loan Documents, until paid in full, 
 (B)    second, ratably, to pay any fees,
premiums or other Obligations then due to any Agent under the Loan Documents until paid in full, 

(C)    third, ratably, to pay any Lender Group Expenses (including cost or expense reimbursements) or indemnities
then due to any of the Lenders under the Loan Documents, until paid in full, 
 (D)    fourth, ratably, to pay
any fees or premiums then due to any of the Lenders under the Loan Documents until paid in full, 

(E)    fifth, ratably, to pay interest accrued in respect of the Term Loans until paid in full, 

(F)    sixth, ratably, to pay the principal of all Term Loans until paid in full, 

(G)    seventh, to pay any other Obligations other than Obligations owed to Defaulting Lenders, 

(H)    eighth, ratably to pay any Obligations owed to Defaulting Lenders; and 

(I)    ninth, to Borrower (to be wired to the Designated Account) or such other Person entitled thereto under
applicable law. 
 (iii)    Administrative Agent promptly shall distribute to each Lender, pursuant to the applicable
wire instructions received from each Lender in writing, such funds as it may be entitled to receive. 

(iv)    [Intentionally Omitted]. 

(v)    For purposes of Section 2.4(b)(ii), “paid in full” of a type of Obligation means payment in cash
or immediately available funds of all amounts owing on account of such type of 

  
 -7- 

 
Obligation, including interest accrued, default interest, interest on interest, and expense reimbursements, irrespective of whether any of the foregoing would be or is allowed or disallowed in
whole or in part in the Cases. 
 (vi)    In the event of a direct conflict between the priority provisions of this
Section 2.4 and any other provision contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, it is the intention of the parties hereto that such provisions be read together and construed, to the fullest extent possible, to be in concert
with each other. In the event of any actual, irreconcilable conflict that cannot be resolved as aforesaid, if the conflict relates to the provisions of Section 2.3(g) and this Section 2.4, then the provisions of Section
2.3(g) shall control and govern, and if otherwise, then the terms and provisions of this Section 2.4 shall control and govern. 

(c)    Termination of Term Commitments. The Term Commitments shall be (i) automatically and permanently
reduced by the Initial Advance Amount on the Closing Date, (ii) automatically and permanently reduced by each Subsequent Advance upon the Borrowing thereof and (iii) to the extent not permanently reduced pursuant to the foregoing clauses
(i) and (ii), automatically and permanently terminated on the Maturity Date. 
 (d)    Optional Prepayments.
If the Discharge of Revolving Credit Agreement Obligations has occurred, Borrower may prepay the principal of any Term Loan at any time in whole or in part, without premium or penalty. 

(e)    Mandatory Prepayments. 

(i)    [Intentionally Omitted]. 

(ii)    Dispositions. Subject to Section 2.4(f)(ii), within one (1) Business Day of the date of
receipt by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of the Net Cash Proceeds of any voluntary or involuntary sale or disposition by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of assets (including casualty losses or condemnations but excluding sales or

Reinstated Prepetition Obligations and then the outstanding principal amount of the Obligations in accordance with Section 2.4(f)(i) in an amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds (including condemnation awards and payments in lieu
thereof) received by such Person in connection with such sales or dispositions (provided that, notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, it is agreed and understood that such Net Cash Proceeds will be directly remitted to a
deposit account subject to a Control Agreement in favor of Collateral Agent (or its bailee on its behalf) upon such sale or disposition). 

(iii)    Extraordinary Receipts. Subject to Section 2.4(f)(ii), within one (1) Business Day of receipt
by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of any Extraordinary Receipts, Borrower shall prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Prepetition Obligations and Reinstated Prepetition Obligations and then the outstanding principal amount of the
Obligations in accordance with Section 2.4(f)(i) in an amount equal to 100% of such Extraordinary Receipts, net of any reasonable expenses incurred in collecting such Extraordinary Receipts (provided that, notwithstanding anything contained
herein to the contrary, it is agreed and understood that such Extraordinary Receipts will be directly remitted to a deposit account subject to a Control Agreement in favor of Collateral Agent (or its bailee on its behalf) upon receipt of such
Extraordinary Receipts).

accordance with Section 2.4(f)(i) in an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds received by such Person in connection with such incurrence (provided that, notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, it is agreed and
understood that such Net Cash Proceeds will be directly remitted to a deposit account subject to a Control Agreement in favor of Collateral Agent (or its bailee on its behalf) upon such incurrence). The provisions of this Section 2.4(e)(iv)
shall not be deemed to be implied consent to any such incurrence otherwise prohibited by the terms of this Agreement. 

(v)    Equity. Subject to Section 2.4(f)(ii), within one (1) Business Day of the issuance by Borrower
or any of its Subsidiaries of any Equity Interests (other than in the event that, after the Closing Date, Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries forms any Subsidiary in accordance with the terms of Section 5.11, the issuance by such Subsidiary of
Equity Interests to Borrower or such Subsidiary, as applicable), Borrower shall prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Prepetition Obligations and Reinstated Prepetition Obligations and then the outstanding principal amount of the
Obligations in accordance with Section 2.4(f)(i) in an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds received by such Person in connection with such issuance (provided that, notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, it is

2.4(b)(ii). 
 (ii)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Borrower shall have no obligations under,
and no payments shall be required or made pursuant to, Section 2.4(e) except to the extent that either (A) as of the due date of such prepayment the Discharge of Revolving Credit Agreement Obligations shall have occurred and the DIP
Revolving Facility has been terminated, (B) no mandatory prepayment is required under the DIP Revolving Facility or the Revolving Credit Agreement in connection with the event giving rise to such prepayment or (C) a mandatory prepayment
has been waived by the requisite “Lenders” under and as defined in the DIP Revolving Facility and the Revolving Credit Agreement.

 -9- 

 2.5.    Promise to Pay. 

(a)    Borrower agrees to pay the Lender Group Expenses on the earlier of (i) the first day of the month following the
date on which the applicable Lender Group Expenses were first incurred or (ii) the date on which demand therefor is made by Administrative Agent (it being acknowledged and agreed that any charging of such costs, expenses or Lender Group
Expenses to the Loan Account pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.6(d) shall be deemed to constitute a demand for payment thereof for the purposes of this subclause (ii)). Borrower promises to pay all of the Obligations (including
principal, interest, premiums, if any, fees, costs, and expenses (including Lender Group Expenses)) in full on the Maturity Date or, if earlier, on the date on which the Obligations become due and payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
Borrower agrees that its obligations contained in the first sentence of this Section 2.5 shall survive payment or satisfaction in full of all other Obligations. 

(b)    Any Lender may request that any portion of its Commitments or the Loans made by it be evidenced by one or more
promissory notes. In such event, Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender the requested promissory notes payable to the order of such Lender in a form furnished by Administrative Agent and reasonably satisfactory to Borrower. Thereafter,
the portion of the Commitments and Loans evidenced by such promissory notes and interest thereon shall at all times be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein. 

2.6.    Interest Rate: Rates, Payments, and Calculations. 

(a)    Interest Rates. Except as provided in Section 2.6(c), all Loans, and Obligations that have been
charged to the Loan Account pursuant to the terms hereof, shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Margin. 

(b)    [Intentionally Omitted]. 

(c)    Default Rate. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a Default arising under Section 8.1 or
any Event of Default and at the election of Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, all Loans, and Obligations that have been charged to the Loan Account pursuant to the terms hereof, shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to 2
percentage points above the per annum rate otherwise applicable thereunder. 
 (d)    Payment. Except to the
extent provided to the contrary in Section 2.12, (i) all interest and all fees payable hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents shall be due and payable, in arrears, on the last day of the Interest Period (in the case of
interest) or the first day of each month (in the case of fees) and (ii) all costs and expenses payable hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, and all Lender Group Expenses shall be due and payable on the earlier of (x) the
first day of the month following the date on which the applicable costs, expenses, or Lender Group Expenses were first incurred or (y) the date on which demand therefor is made by Administrative Agent (it being acknowledged and agreed that any
charging of such costs, expenses or Lender Group Expenses to the Loan Account pursuant to the provisions of the following sentence shall be deemed to constitute a demand for payment thereof for the purposes of this subclause (y)). Borrower hereby
authorizes Administrative Agent, from time to time without prior notice to Borrower, to charge to the Loan Account (A) on the first day of each month, all interest accrued during the prior month on the Term Loans hereunder, (B) as and when
incurred or accrued, all fees and costs provided for in Section 2.10(a), (C) as and when due and payable, all other fees payable hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, (D) as and when incurred or accrued, all other
Lender Group Expenses, and (E) as and when due and payable, all other payment obligations payable under any Loan Document. All amounts (including 

  
 -10- 

 
interest, fees, costs, expenses, Lender Group Expenses, or other amounts payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document) charged to the Loan Account shall thereupon constitute Obligations
hereunder, and shall accrue interest at the rate applicable to Term Loans. 
 (e)    Computation. All interest
and fees chargeable under the Loan Documents shall be computed on the basis of a 360 day year, in each case, for the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which the interest or fees accrue. 

(f)    Intent to Limit Charges to Maximum Lawful Rate. In no event shall the interest rate or rates payable under
this Agreement, plus any other amounts paid in connection herewith, exceed the highest rate permissible under any law that a court of competent jurisdiction shall, in a final determination, deem applicable. Borrower and the Lender Group, in
executing and delivering this Agreement, intend legally to agree upon the rate or rates of interest and manner of payment stated within it; provided, that, anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if such rate or rates of
interest or manner of payment exceeds the maximum allowable under applicable law, then, ipso facto, as of the date of this Agreement, Borrower is and shall be liable only for the payment of such maximum amount as is allowed by law, and payment
received from Borrower in excess of such legal maximum, whenever received, shall be applied to reduce the principal balance of the Obligations to the extent of such excess. 

2.7.    Crediting Payments. The receipt of any payment item by Administrative Agent shall not be required to
be considered a payment on account unless such payment item is a wire transfer of immediately available federal funds made to Administrative Agent’s Account or unless and until such payment item is honored when presented for payment. Should any
payment item not be honored when presented for payment, then Borrower shall be deemed not to have made such payment and interest shall be calculated accordingly. Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, any payment item shall be
deemed received by Administrative Agent only if it is received into Administrative Agent’s Account on a Business Day on or before 1:30 p.m. If any payment item is received into Administrative Agent’s Account on a non-Business Day or after 1:30 p.m. on a Business Day (unless Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, elects to credit it on the date received), it shall be deemed to have been received by Administrative Agent
as of the opening of business on the immediately following Business Day. 
 2.8.    Designated Account.
Administrative Agent is authorized to make the Term Loans based upon telephonic or other instructions received from anyone purporting to be an Authorized Person or, without instructions, if pursuant to Section 2.6(d). Borrower agrees to
establish and maintain the Designated Account with the Designated Account Bank for the purpose of receiving the proceeds of the Term Loans requested by Borrower and made by Administrative Agent or the Lenders hereunder. Unless otherwise agreed by
Administrative Agent and Borrower, any Term Loan requested by Borrower and made by Administrative Agent or the Lenders hereunder shall be made to the Designated Account. 

2.9.    Maintenance of Loan Account; Statements of Obligations. Administrative Agent shall maintain an
account on its books in the name of Borrower (the “Loan Account”) on which Borrower will be charged with all Term Loans made by Administrative Agent or the Lenders to Borrower or for Borrower’s account, and with all other
payment Obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, including, accrued interest, fees and expenses, and Lender Group Expenses. In accordance with Section 2.7, the Loan Account will be credited with all payments received by
Administrative Agent from Borrower or for Borrower’s account. Upon request from time to time, Administrative Agent shall make available to Borrower a statement regarding the Loan Account, including the principal amount of the Term Loans,
interest accrued hereunder, fees accrued or charged hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and a summary itemization of all charges and expenses constituting Lender Group Expenses 

  
 -11- 

 
accrued hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and each such statement, absent manifest error, shall be conclusively presumed to be correct and accurate and constitute an account stated
between Borrower and the Lender Group unless, within 30 days after Administrative Agent first makes such a statement available to Borrower, Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent written objection thereto describing the error or errors
contained in such statement. 
 2.10.    Fees. 

(a)    Agent Fees. Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent, for the account of Administrative Agent, as and when
due and payable under the terms of the Fee Letter, the fees set forth in the Fee Letter. 
 (b)    Lender Fees.
Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of the Lenders, a closing fee of $625,000 (the “Closing Fee”) which will be fully earned upon the Closing Date. 

2.11.    [Intentionally Omitted]. 

2.12.    LIBOR. 

(a)    Interest and Interest Payment Dates. Interest on all or a portion of the Term Loans shall be charged (whether
at the time when made (unless otherwise provided herein) or upon continuation of a Loan) at a rate of interest based upon the LIBOR Rate. Interest on Loans shall be payable on the earliest of (i) the last day of the Interest Period applicable
thereto, (ii) the date on which all or any portion of the Obligations are accelerated pursuant to the terms hereof, or (iii) the date on which this Agreement is terminated pursuant to the terms hereof. On the last day of each applicable
Interest Period, the interest rate applicable to such Loan automatically shall continue at the LIBOR Rate of the same Interest Period. 

(b)    Special Provisions Applicable to LIBOR Rate. The LIBOR Rate may be adjusted by Administrative Agent with
respect to any Lender on a prospective basis to take into account any additional or increased costs to such Lender of maintaining or obtaining any eurodollar deposits or increased costs (other than Taxes which shall be governed by Section 16),
in each case, due to changes in applicable law occurring subsequent to the commencement of the then applicable Interest Period, including any Changes in Law and changes in the reserve requirements imposed by the Board of Governors, which additional
or increased costs would increase the cost of funding or maintaining loans bearing interest at the LIBOR Rate. In any such event, the affected Lender shall give Borrower and Administrative Agent notice of such a determination and adjustment and
Administrative Agent promptly shall transmit the notice to each other Lender and, upon its receipt of the notice from the affected Lender, Borrower may, by notice to such affected Lender (A) require such Lender to furnish to Borrower a
statement setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for adjusting such LIBOR Rate and the method for determining the amount of such adjustment, or (B) repay the Loans of such Lender with respect to which such adjustment is made (together
with any amounts due under Section 2.12(b)(ii)). Any adjustment to the LIBOR Rate made by Administrative Agent pursuant to this subclause shall be the adjustment provided by the affected Lender to Borrower and Administrative Agent, and
Administrative Agent shall have no duty to investigate or confirm whether the adjustment is accurate and permitted by this subclause and Administrative Agent may assume in all cases that the adjustment is accurate and permitted by this subclause.

 (c)    Unavailability. In the event that any change in market conditions or any Change in Law shall at any
time after the date hereof, in the reasonable opinion of any Lender, make it unlawful

or impractical for such Lender to fund or maintain Loans or to continue such funding or maintaining, or to determine or charge interest rates at, the LIBOR Rate, such Lender shall give notice of
such changed circumstances to Administrative Agent and Borrower and Administrative Agent promptly shall transmit the notice to each other Lender and the date specified in such Lender’s notice shall be deemed to be the last day of the Interest
Period of such Loans, and interest upon the Loans of such Lender thereafter shall accrue interest at the rate equal to the LIBOR Rate in effect immediately prior to such date, plus the Applicable Margin, until such Lender determines that it would no
longer be unlawful or impractical to do so. 
 (d)    No Requirement of Matched Funding. Anything to the contrary
contained herein notwithstanding, neither Administrative Agent, nor any Lender, nor any of their Participants, is required actually to acquire eurodollar deposits to fund or otherwise match fund any Obligation as to which interest accrues at the
LIBOR Rate. 
 2.13.    Capital Requirements. 

(a)    If, after the date hereof, any Lender determines that (i) any Change in Law regarding capital or reserve
requirements for banks or bank holding companies, (ii) any Change in Law relating to Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (ii) through (iv) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and
(C) Connection Income Taxes) on its Loans, commitments or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto or (iii) compliance by such Lender, or their respective parent bank holding
companies, with any guideline, request or directive of any Governmental Authority regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law), has the effect of reducing the return on such Lender’s, or such holding companies’
capital as a consequence of such Lender’s commitments, Loans, participations or other obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender, or such holding companies could have achieved but for such Change in Law or compliance (taking
into consideration such Lender’s, or such holding companies’ then existing policies with respect to capital adequacy and assuming the full utilization of such entity’s capital) by any amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then
such Lender may notify Borrower and Administrative Agent thereof. Following receipt of such notice, Borrower agrees to pay such Lender on demand the amount of such reduction of return of capital as and when such reduction is determined, payable
within 30 days after presentation by such Lender of a statement in the amount and setting forth in reasonable detail such Lender’s calculation thereof and the assumptions upon which such calculation was based (which statement shall be deemed
true and correct absent manifest error). In determining such amount, such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not
constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any reductions in return incurred more than 180 days prior to the
date that such Lender notifies Borrower of such Change in Law giving rise to such reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that if such claim arises by reason of the Change in Law
that is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. 

(b)    If any Lender requests additional or increased costs referred to in Section 2.12(b) or amounts under
Section 2.13(a) (such Lender, an “Affected Lender”), then such Affected Lender shall use reasonable efforts to promptly designate a different one of its lending offices or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to
another of its offices or branches, if (i) in the reasonable judgment of such Affected Lender, such designation or assignment would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.12(b) or Section 2.13(a), as applicable,
or would eliminate the illegality or impracticality of funding or maintaining Loans and (ii) in the reasonable judgment of such Affected Lender, such designation or assignment would not subject it to any material unreimbursed cost or expense
and would 

  
 -13- 

 
not otherwise be materially disadvantageous to it. Borrower agrees to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and
expenses incurred by such Affected Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. If, after such reasonable efforts, such Affected Lender does not so designate a different one of its lending offices or assign its rights to another of
its offices or branches so as to eliminate Borrower’s obligation to pay any future amounts to such Affected Lender pursuant to Section 2.12(b) or Section 2.13(a), as applicable, or to enable Borrower to obtain Loans, then Borrower
(without prejudice to any amounts then due to such Affected Lender under Section 2.12(b) or Section 2.13(a), as applicable) may, unless prior to the effective date of any such assignment the Affected Lender withdraws its request for
such additional amounts under Section 2.12(b) or Section 2.13(a), as applicable, or indicates that it is no longer unlawful or impractical to fund or maintain Loans, may substitute a Lender, in each case, reasonably acceptable to
Administrative Agent to purchase the Obligations, Prepetition Obligations or Reinstated Prepetition Obligations owed to such Affected Lender and such Affected Lender’s commitments hereunder (a “Replacement Lender”), and if such
Replacement Lender agrees to such purchase, such Affected Lender shall assign to the Replacement Lender its Obligations, Prepetition Obligations or Reinstated Prepetition Obligations and commitments, and upon such purchase by the Replacement Lender,
which such Replacement Lender shall be deemed to be a “Lender” for purposes of this Agreement and such Affected Lender shall cease to be a “Lender” for purposes of this Agreement. 

(c)    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the protection of Sections 2.12(b) and 2.13 shall be
available to each Lender regardless of any possible contention of the invalidity or inapplicability of the law, rule, regulation, judicial ruling, judgment, guideline, treaty or other change or condition which shall have occurred or been imposed, so
long as it shall be customary for issuing banks or lenders affected thereby to comply therewith. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, no Lender shall demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.13 if it shall not at the time be
the general policy or practice of such Lender to demand such compensation in similar circumstances under comparable provisions of other credit agreements, if any. 
  

	3.	CONDITIONS; TERM OF AGREEMENT.

Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects (except that such materiality qualifier shall not be applicable to any representations and warranties that already are qualified or modified by materiality in the text thereof) on and as
of the date of such extension of credit, as though made on and as of such date (except to the extent that such representations and warranties relate solely to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and
correct in all material respects (except that such materiality qualifier shall not be applicable to any representations and warranties that already are qualified or modified by materiality in the text thereof) as of such earlier date);

and shall not be enjoined, temporarily, preliminarily or permanently; and 
 (d)    in the case of a Subsequent Advance,
the Availability shall be $0 (after giving effect to the use of cash and/or the proceeds of DIP Revolving Loans substantially concurrently with the use of the proceeds of the requested Advance). 

3.3.    Maturity. This Agreement shall continue in full force and effect for a term ending on the Maturity

3.5.    Early Termination by Borrower. Subject to any prepayment or other fees payable by Borrower or any
Loan Party in any Loan Document, if the Discharge of Revolving Credit Agreement Obligations has occurred, Borrower has the option, at any time upon no less than 10 Business Days’ prior written notice to Administrative Agent, to terminate this
Agreement by repaying to Administrative Agent all of the Obligations in full. The foregoing notwithstanding, (a) Borrower may rescind termination notices relative to proposed payments in full of the Obligations with the proceeds of third party
Indebtedness if the closing for such issuance or incurrence does not happen on or before the date of the proposed termination (in which case, a new notice shall be required to be sent in connection with any subsequent termination), and
(b) Borrower may extend the date of termination at any time with the consent of Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

their Subsidiaries that have been delivered by Borrower to Administrative Agent have been prepared in accordance with GAAP (except, in the case of unaudited financial statements, for the lack of footnotes and being subject to year-end audit adjustments) and present fairly in all material respects, the Loan Parties’ and their Subsidiaries’ consolidated financial condition as of the date thereof and results of operations for the

Disclosure. All factual information taken as a whole (other than forward-looking information and projections and information of a general economic nature and general information about Borrower’s industry) furnished by or on behalf of a
Loan Party or its Subsidiaries in writing to any Agent or any Lender (including all information contained in the Schedules hereto or in the other Loan Documents) for purposes of or in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and
all other such factual information taken as a whole (other than forward-looking information and projections and information of a general economic nature and general information about Borrower’s industry) hereafter furnished by or on behalf of a
Loan Party or its Subsidiaries in writing to any Agent or any Lender will be, true and accurate, in all material respects, on the date as of which such information is dated or certified and not incomplete by omitting to state any fact necessary to
make such information (taken as a whole) not misleading in any material respect at such time in light of the circumstances under which such information was provided. The Budget represents, and as of the date on which any Projections are delivered to
Administrative Agent, such Budget and Projections represent, Borrower’s good faith estimate, on the date of delivery thereof, of the Loan Parties’ and their Subsidiaries’ future performance for the periods covered thereby based upon
assumptions believed by Borrower to be reasonable at the time of the delivery thereof to Administrative Agent (it being understood that such Projections are subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond the control
of the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries, and no assurances can be given that such Projections will be realized, and although reflecting Borrower’s good faith estimate, projections or forecasts based on methods and assumptions which Borrower
believed to be reasonable at the time such Projections were prepared, are not to be viewed as facts, and that actual results during the period or periods covered by the Projections may differ materially from projected or estimated results). 

4.13.    Patriot Act. To the extent applicable, each Loan Party is in compliance, in all material respects,
with the (a) Trading with the Enemy Act, as amended, and each of the foreign assets control regulations of the United States Treasury Department (31 CFR, Subtitle B, Chapter V, as amended) and any other enabling legislation or executive order
relating thereto, and (b) Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism (USA Patriot Act of 2001) (the “Patriot Act”). No part of the proceeds of the loans made

acting in an official capacity, in order to obtain, retain or direct business or obtain any improper advantage, in violation of the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended. 

4.14.    Indebtedness. Set forth on Schedule 4.14 is a true and complete list of all Indebtedness of
each Loan Party and each of its Subsidiaries outstanding immediately prior to the Closing Date that is to remain outstanding immediately after giving effect to the closing hereunder on the Closing Date and such Schedule accurately sets forth the
aggregate principal amount of such Indebtedness as of the Closing Date.

 4.15.    Payment of Taxes. Except as otherwise permitted under
Section 5.5, all tax returns and reports of each Loan Party and its Subsidiaries required to be filed by any of them have been timely filed, and all taxes shown on such tax returns to be due and payable and all assessments, fees and
other governmental charges upon a Loan Party and its Subsidiaries and upon their respective assets, income, businesses and franchises that are due and payable have been paid when due and payable. Each Loan Party and each of its Subsidiaries have
made adequate provision in accordance with GAAP for all taxes not yet due and payable. Borrower knows of no proposed tax assessment against a Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries that is not being actively contested by such Loan Party or such
Subsidiary diligently, in good faith, and by appropriate proceedings; provided such reserves or other appropriate provisions, if any, as shall be required in conformity with GAAP shall have been made or provided therefor. 

4.16.    Margin Stock. No Loan Party nor any of its Subsidiaries is engaged principally, or as one of its
important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock. No part of the proceeds of the loans made to Borrower will be used to purchase or carry any Margin Stock or to extend credit to
others for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock or for any purpose that violates the provisions of Regulation T, U or X of the Board of Governors. 

4.17.    Governmental Regulation. No Loan Party nor any of its Subsidiaries is subject to regulation under
the Federal Power Act or the Investment Company Act of 1940 or under any other federal or state statute or regulation which may limit its ability to incur Indebtedness or which may otherwise render all or any portion of the Obligations
unenforceable. No Loan Party nor any of its Subsidiaries is a “registered investment company” or a company “controlled” by a “registered investment company” or a “principal underwriter” of a “registered
investment company” as such terms are defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940. 

4.18.    OFAC. No Loan Party nor any of its Subsidiaries is in violation of any of the country or list based
economic and trade sanctions administered and enforced by OFAC. No Loan Party nor any of its Subsidiaries (a) is a Sanctioned Person or a Sanctioned Entity, (b) has its assets located in Sanctioned Entities, or (c) derives revenues
from investments in, or transactions with Sanctioned Persons or Sanctioned Entities. No proceeds of any loan made hereunder will be used to fund any operations in, finance any investments or activities in, or make any payments to, a Sanctioned
Person or a Sanctioned Entity. 
 4.19.    Employee and Labor Matters. There is (i) no unfair labor
practice complaint pending or, to the knowledge of Borrower, threatened against Borrower or its Subsidiaries before any Governmental Authority and no grievance or arbitration proceeding pending or threatened against Borrower or its Subsidiaries
which arises out of or under any collective bargaining agreement and that could reasonably be expected to result in a material liability, (ii) no strike, labor dispute, slowdown, stoppage or similar action or grievance pending or threatened in
writing against Borrower or its Subsidiaries that could reasonably be expected to result in a material liability, or (iii) to the knowledge of Borrower, after due inquiry, no union representation question existing with respect to the employees
of Borrower or its Subsidiaries and no union organizing activity taking place with respect to any of the employees of Borrower or its Subsidiaries. None of Borrower or its Subsidiaries has incurred any liability or obligation under the Worker
Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act or similar state law, which remains unpaid or unsatisfied. The hours worked and payments made to employees of Borrower or its Subsidiaries have not been in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act or any
other applicable legal requirements except to the extent such violations could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. All payments due from Borrower or its Subsidiaries on account of
wages and employee health and welfare insurance and other benefits have been paid or accrued as a liability on the books of Borrower.

 4.20.    Material Contracts. Set forth on Schedule 4.20

5.8.    Compliance with Laws. Borrower will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, comply with the

 -23- 

 
or report furnished to Agents or the Lenders contained, at the time it was furnished, any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact necessary to make the
statements contained therein not misleading in light of the circumstances in which made. The foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, any notification pursuant to the foregoing provision will not cure or remedy the effect of the prior untrue
statement of a material fact or omission of any material fact nor shall any such notification have the effect of amending or modifying this Agreement or any of the Schedules hereto. 

5.11.    Formation of Subsidiaries. Borrower and each Loan Party will obtain the prior written consent of

the transactions contemplated hereby and under the other Loan Documents; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to any Subsidiary of Borrower that is a CFC if providing such documents would result in adverse tax consequences or the costs
to the Loan Parties of providing such documents are unreasonably excessive (as determined by Administrative Agent in consultation with Borrower) in relation to the benefits to the Lender Group of the security afforded thereby. To the maximum extent
permitted by applicable law, if Borrower or any other Loan Party refuses or fails to execute or deliver any reasonably requested Additional Documents within a reasonable period of time following the request to do so, Borrower and each other Loan
Party hereby authorizes each Agent to execute any such Additional Documents in the applicable Loan Party’s name and authorizes each Agent to file such executed Additional Documents in any appropriate filing office. In furtherance of, and not in
limitation of, the foregoing, each Loan Party shall take such actions as any Agent may reasonably request from time to time to ensure that the Obligations are guarantied by the Guarantors and are secured by substantially all of the assets of
Borrower and its Subsidiaries, including all of the outstanding capital Equity Interests of Borrower’s Subsidiaries (subject to exceptions and limitations contained in the Loan Documents with respect to CFCs). With respect to any Real Property
acquired by Borrower or any other Loan Party on which Collateral Agent will be taking a Lien, (x) Borrower will give Collateral Agent no less than forty five (45) days’ prior written notice of such acquisition, (y) Borrower or

the Required Lenders and otherwise satisfactory to the Required Lenders.

(F)    unless waived by Administrative Agent, the assigning Lender or Assignee has paid to Administrative Agent, for
Administrative Agent’s separate account, a processing fee in the amount of $3,500; 
 (G)    the assignee, if it
is not a Lender, shall deliver to Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire in a form approved by Administrative Agent (the “Administrative Questionnaire”); and 

(H)    no Lender may assign or participate any portion of its Term Loans, Commitments or other rights and obligations
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents to a Person that is not a Lender (a “Third Party Assignee”) unless such assignment or participation is expressly permitted under this subsection (H). If a Lender (the “Assigning
Lender”) shall have made an offer (the “Offer”) to all other Lenders (the “Non-Assigning Lenders”), offering such
Non-Assigning Lenders the opportunity to acquire or participate in a certain amount (the “Offer Amount”) of such Lender’s Term Loans, Commitments and other rights and obligations at a
certain price specified in such Offer (the “Offer Price”) then, except to the extent that prior to the fifth Business Day following such Offer one or more of the Non-Assigning Lenders shall
have agreed to acquire or participate in, as applicable, the Offer Amount of the Term Loans, Commitments or other rights and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at the Offer Price, the Assigning Lender shall be permitted for a
period of sixty (60) days following delivery of the Offer to assign or participate an aggregate amount of its Term Loans, Commitments or other rights and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents in an aggregate amount equal to
the Offer Amount at the Offer Price to any Third Party 

  
 -40- 

 
Assignee. If no assignment or participation, as the case may be, occurs within such 60-day period, the Assigning Lender shall comply with the provisions of
this subsection (H) with respect to such unassigned and unsold Obligations Administrative Agent shall have no duty to investigate or confirm whether the requirements of this subsection (H) have been satisfied and Administrative Agent may
assume in all cases that the requirements of this subsection (H) shall have been satisfied; and 
 (I)    if the
assignee is not a Lender, the prior written consent of Administrative Agent shall be required for any assignment (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). 

(b)    From and after the date that Administrative Agent receives the executed Assignment and Acceptance and, if
applicable, payment of the required processing fee, (i) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, shall be a
“Lender” and shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender under the Loan Documents, and (ii) the assigning Lender shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents have been assigned by
it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights (except with respect to Section 10.3) and be released from any future obligations under this Agreement (and in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or
the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto and thereto); provided, that nothing contained herein shall release any
assigning Lender from obligations that survive the termination of this Agreement, including such assigning Lender’s obligations under Section 15 and Section 17.9(a). 

(c)    By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Lender thereunder and the Assignee
thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with
respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other Loan Document furnished
pursuant hereto, (ii) such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of any Loan Party or the performance or observance by any Loan Party of any of its obligations
under this Agreement or any other Loan Document furnished pursuant hereto, (iii) such Assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its
own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance, (iv) such Assignee will, independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender, and based on such documents and
information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement, (v) such Assignee appoints and authorizes Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent to take
such actions and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental
thereto, and (vi) such Assignee agrees that it will perform all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender. 

(d)    Immediately upon Administrative Agent’s receipt of the required processing fee, if applicable, and delivery of
notice to the assigning Lender pursuant to Section 13.1(b), this Agreement shall be deemed to be amended to the extent, but only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of the Assignee and the resulting adjustment of the Commitments
arising therefrom. The Commitment allocated to each Assignee shall reduce such Commitments of the assigning Lender pro tanto. 

  
 -41- 

 (e)    Any Lender may, subject in any event to compliance with the right of
first offer provisions of Section 13.1(a)(ii)(H), at any time sell to one or more commercial banks, financial institutions, or other Persons (a “Participant”) participating interests in all or any portion of its Obligations, its
Commitment, and the other rights and interests of that Lender (the “Originating Lender”) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents; provided, that (i) the Originating Lender shall remain a “Lender” for all
purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the Participant receiving the participating interest in the Obligations, the Commitments, and the other rights and interests of the Originating Lender hereunder shall not constitute a
“Lender” hereunder or under the other Loan Documents and the Originating Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) the Originating Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance of such
obligations, (iii) Borrower, Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with the Originating Lender in connection with the Originating Lender’s rights and obligations under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (iv) no Lender shall transfer or grant any participating interest under which the Participant has the right to approve any amendment to, or any consent or waiver with respect to, this Agreement or any
other Loan Document, except to the extent such amendment to, or consent or waiver with respect to this Agreement or of any other Loan Document would (A) extend the final maturity date of the Obligations hereunder in which such Participant is
participating, (B) reduce the interest rate applicable to the Obligations hereunder in which such Participant is participating, (C) release all or substantially all of the Collateral or guaranties (except to the extent expressly provided
herein or in any of the Loan Documents) supporting the Obligations hereunder in which such Participant is participating, (D) postpone the payment of, or reduce the amount of, the interest or fees payable to such Participant through such Lender
(other than a waiver of default interest), or (E) decreases the amount or postpones the due dates of scheduled principal repayments or prepayments or premiums payable to such Participant through such Lender, (v) no participation shall be
sold to a natural person, (vi) no participation shall be sold to a Loan Party or an Affiliate of a Loan Party, and (vii) all amounts payable by Borrower hereunder (other than amounts payable to a Participant pursuant to
Section 16 of this Agreement) shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation, except that, if amounts outstanding under this Agreement are due and unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall have become due and
payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of set off in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to the same extent as if the amount of its participating
interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement. The rights of any Participant only shall be derivative through the Originating Lender with whom such Participant participates and no Participant shall have any rights under this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any direct rights as to the other Lenders, Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, Borrower, the Collateral, or otherwise in respect of the Obligations. No Participant shall have the right to participate
directly in the making of decisions by the Lenders among themselves. 
 (f)    In connection with any such assignment or
participation or proposed assignment or participation or any grant of a security interest in, or pledge of, its rights under and interest in this Agreement, a Lender may, subject to the provisions of Section 17.9, disclose all documents
and information which it now or hereafter may have relating to Borrower and its Subsidiaries and their respective businesses. 

(g)    Any other provision in this Agreement notwithstanding, any Lender may at any time create a security interest in, or
pledge, all or any portion of its rights under and interest in this Agreement in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the Federal Reserve Bank or U.S. Treasury Regulation 31 CFR §203.24, and such Federal Reserve
Bank may enforce such pledge or security interest in any manner permitted under applicable law. 
 (h)    Administrative
Agent (as a non-fiduciary agent on behalf of Borrower) shall maintain, or cause to be maintained, a register (the “Register”) on which it enters the name and address of

  
 42 

 
each Lender as the registered owner of the Term Loans (and the principal amount thereof and stated interest thereon) held by such Lender (each, a “Registered Loan”). Other than
in connection with an assignment by a Lender of all or any portion of its portion of the Term Loans to an Affiliate of such Lender or a Related Fund of such Lender (i) a Registered Loan (and the registered note, if any, evidencing the same) may
be assigned or sold in whole or in part only by registration of such assignment or sale on the Register (and each registered note shall expressly so provide) and (ii) any assignment or sale of all or part of such Registered Loan (and the
registered note, if any, evidencing the same) may be effected only by registration of such assignment or sale on the Register, together with the surrender of the registered note, if any, evidencing the same duly endorsed by (or accompanied by a
written instrument of assignment or sale duly executed by) the holder of such registered note, whereupon, at the request of the designated assignee(s) or transferee(s), one or more new registered notes in the same aggregate principal amount shall be
issued to the designated assignee(s) or transferee(s). Prior to the registration of assignment or sale of any Registered Loan (and the registered note, if any evidencing the same), Borrower shall treat the Person in whose name such Registered Loan
(and the registered note, if any, evidencing the same) is registered as the owner thereof for the purpose of receiving all payments thereon and for all other purposes, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. In the case of any assignment by a Lender
of all or any portion of its Term Loans to an Affiliate of such Lender or a Related Fund of such Lender, and which assignment is not recorded in the Register, the assigning Lender, on behalf of Borrower, shall maintain a register comparable to the
Register. 
 (i)    In the event that a Lender sells participations in the Registered Loan, such Lender, as a non-fiduciary agent on behalf of Borrower, shall maintain (or cause to be maintained) a register on which it enters the name of all participants in the Registered Loans held by it (and the principal amount (and
stated interest thereon) of the portion of such Registered Loans that is subject to such participations) (the “Participant Register”). A Registered Loan (and the Registered Note, if any, evidencing the same) may be participated in
whole or in part only by registration of such participation on the Participant Register (and each registered note shall expressly so provide). Any participation of such Registered Loan (and the registered note, if any, evidencing the same) may be
effected only by the registration of such participation on the Participant Register. 
 (j)    Administrative Agent
shall make a copy of the Register (and each Lender shall make a copy of its Participant Register to the extent it has one) available for review by Borrower from time to time as Borrower may reasonably request. 

13.2.    Successors. This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of
each of the parties; provided, that Borrower may not assign this Agreement or any rights or duties hereunder without Administrative Agent’s and the Lenders’ prior written consent and any prohibited assignment shall be absolutely
void ab initio. No consent to assignment by the Lenders shall release Borrower from its Obligations. A Lender may assign this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and its rights and duties hereunder and thereunder pursuant to
Section 13.1 and, except as expressly required pursuant to Section 13.1, no consent or approval by Borrower is required in connection with any such assignment. 

 

	14.	AMENDMENTS; WAIVERS. 

 14.1.    Amendments and Waivers.

 (a)    No amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document (other
than the Fee Letter), and no consent with respect to any departure by Borrower or other Loan Party therefrom, shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Required Lenders (or by Administrative Agent at the written
request of the Required Lenders) and 

  
 -43- 

 
the Loan Parties that are party thereto and then any such waiver or consent shall be effective, but only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided,
that no such waiver, amendment, or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by all of the Lenders directly affected thereby and all of the Loan Parties that are party thereto, do any of the following: 

(i)    increase the amount of or extend the expiration date of any Commitment of any Lender or amend, modify, or
eliminate the last sentence of Section 2.4(c),

any other Loan Document for any payment of principal, interest, fees, or other amounts due hereunder or under any other Loan Document, 

(iii)    reduce the principal of, or the rate of interest on, any loan or other extension of credit hereunder, or reduce
any fees or other amounts payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document (except in connection with the waiver of applicability of Section 2.6(c) (which waiver shall be effective with the written consent of the Required Lenders)), 

(iv)    amend, modify, or eliminate this Section or any provision of this Agreement providing for consent or other action
by all Lenders, 
 (v)    amend, modify, or eliminate Section 3.1 or 3.2,

Share”, 
 (ix)    contractually subordinate any of Collateral Agent’s Liens, 

(x)    other than in connection with a merger, liquidation, dissolution or sale of such Person expressly permitted by the
terms hereof or the other Loan Documents, release Borrower or any Guarantor from any obligation for the payment of money or consent to the assignment or transfer by Borrower or any Guarantor of any of its rights or duties under this Agreement or the
other Loan Documents, 
 (xi)    amend, modify, or eliminate any of the provisions of Section 2.4(b)(i) or
(ii), or 
 (xii)    amend, modify, or eliminate any of the provisions of Section 13.1 with respect
to assignments to, or participations with, Persons who are Loan Parties or Affiliates of Loan Parties. 

  
 -44- 

 (b)    No amendment, waiver, modification, or consent shall amend, modify,
waive, or eliminate, 
 (i)    the definition of, or any of the terms or provisions of, the Fee Letter, without the
written consent of Administrative Agent and Borrower (and shall not require the written consent of any of the Lenders), 

(ii)    any provision of Section 15 pertaining to any Agent, or any other rights or duties of any Agent under
this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, without the written consent of such Agent, Borrower, and the Required Lenders, and 

(c)    Anything in this Section 14.1 to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) any amendment, modification,
elimination, waiver, consent, termination, or release of, or with respect to, any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document that relates only to the relationship of the Lender Group among themselves, and that does not affect the rights
or obligations of Borrower, shall not require consent by or the agreement of any Loan Party, and (ii) any amendment, waiver, modification, elimination, or consent of or with respect to any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document
may be entered into without the consent of, or over the objection of, any Defaulting Lender other than any of the matters governed by Section 14.1(a)(i) through (iii) that affect such Lender or Section 14.1(a)(iv) but only
if such amendment, waiver, modification, elimination or consent of such Section 14.1(a)(iv) is in respect of an amendment, modification or elimination of Section 14.1(a)(i) through (iii) that affects such Lender. 

(d)    No amendment, waiver, or modification shall increase the Term Commitments or extend the Maturity Date until the
completion of all flood insurance documentation, diligence and coverage as required by the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, or as otherwise satisfactory to all Lenders. 

 

	14.2.    Replacement	of Certain Lenders. 

 (a)    If (i) any action to be
taken by the Lender Group or any Agent hereunder requires the consent, authorization, or agreement of all Lenders or all Lenders affected thereby and if such action has received the consent, authorization, or agreement of the Required Lenders but
not of all Lenders or all Lenders affected thereby, or (ii) any Lender makes a claim for compensation under Section 16, then Borrower or Administrative Agent, upon at least 5 Business Days prior irrevocable notice, may permanently
replace any Lender that failed to give its consent, authorization, or agreement (a “Non-Consenting Lender”) or any Lender that made a claim for compensation (a “Tax Lender”)
with one or more Replacement Lenders, and the Non-Consenting Lender or Tax Lender, as applicable, shall have no right to refuse to be replaced hereunder. Such notice to replace the Non-Consenting Lender or Tax Lender, as applicable, shall specify an effective date for such replacement, which date shall not be later than 15 Business Days after the date such notice is given. 

(b)    Prior to the effective date of such replacement, the Non-Consenting Lender
or Tax Lender, as applicable, and each Replacement Lender shall execute and deliver an Assignment and Acceptance, subject only to the Non-Consenting Lender or Tax Lender, as applicable, being repaid in full
its share of the outstanding Obligations (without any premium or penalty of any kind whatsoever, but including all interest, fees and other amounts that may be due in payable in respect thereof). If the
Non-Consenting Lender or Tax Lender, as applicable, shall refuse or fail to execute and deliver any such Assignment and Acceptance prior to the effective date of such replacement, Administrative Agent may, but
shall not be required to, execute and deliver such Assignment and Acceptance in the name or and on behalf of the Non-Consenting Lender or Tax Lender, as applicable, and irrespective of whether

  
 -45- 

 
Administrative Agent executes and delivers such Assignment and Acceptance, the Non-Consenting Lender or Tax Lender, as applicable, shall be deemed to have
executed and delivered such Assignment and Acceptance. The replacement of any Non-Consenting Lender or Tax Lender, as applicable, shall be made in accordance with the terms of Section 13.1. Until
such time as one or more Replacement Lenders shall have acquired all of the Obligations, the Commitments, and the other rights and obligations of the Non-Consenting Lender or Tax Lender, as applicable,
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the Non-Consenting Lender or Tax Lender, as applicable, shall remain obligated to make the Non-Consenting Lender’s or
Tax Lender’s, as applicable, Pro Rata Share of Term Loans. 
 14.3.    No Waivers; Cumulative
Remedies. No failure by any Agent or any Lender to exercise any right, remedy, or option under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or delay by any Agent or any Lender in exercising the same, will operate as a waiver thereof. No waiver
by any Agent or any Lender will be effective unless it is in writing, and then only to the extent specifically stated. No waiver by any Agent or any Lender on any occasion shall affect or diminish each Agent’s and each Lender’s rights
thereafter to require strict performance by Borrower of any provision of this Agreement. Each Agent’s and each Lender’s rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents will be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right or
remedy that any Agent or any Lender may have. 
  

	15.	AGENT; THE LENDER GROUP. 

 15.1.    Appointment and
Authorization of Agents. Each Lender hereby designates and appoints Wilmington as its administrative agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes Administrative Agent, in such
capacity, to execute and deliver each of the other Loan Documents on its behalf and to take such other 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 Administrative Agent by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Each Lender hereby designates and appoints Wells Fargo as its collateral agent
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes Collateral Agent, in such capacity, to execute and deliver each of the other Loan Documents on its behalf and to take such other 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 Collateral Agent by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with such
powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Each Agent agrees to act as agent for and on behalf of the Lenders on the conditions contained in this Section 15. The provisions of this Section 15 are solely for the benefit of the
Agents and the Lenders, and neither the Borrower nor any other party shall have rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such provisions. Any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document
notwithstanding, no Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents, nor shall any Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, 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 any Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of the term
“agent” in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents with reference to any 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 a representative relationship between independent contracting parties. Each Lender hereby further authorizes Collateral Agent to act as the secured party under each
of the Loan Documents that create a Lien on any item of Collateral. Except as expressly otherwise provided in this Agreement, Lenders agree that each Agent shall have and may use its sole discretion with respect to exercising or refraining from
exercising any discretionary rights or taking or refraining from taking any actions that each Agent expressly is entitled to take or assert under or pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the

  
 -46- 

 
generality of the foregoing, or of any other provision of the Loan Documents that provides rights or powers to any Agent, Lenders agree that Administrative Agent shall have the right to exercise
the following powers as long as this Agreement remains in effect: (a) maintain, in accordance with its customary business practices, ledgers and records reflecting the status of the Obligations, the Collateral, payments and proceeds of
Collateral, and related matters, (b) execute or file any and all financing or similar statements or notices, amendments, renewals, supplements, documents, instruments, proofs of claim, notices and other written agreements with respect to the
Loan Documents to which it is a party, (c) make Term Loans, for itself or on behalf of Lenders, as provided in the Loan Documents, (d) receive, apply, and distribute payments and proceeds of the Collateral as provided in the Loan
Documents, (e) open and maintain such bank accounts and cash management arrangements as Administrative Agent deems necessary and appropriate in accordance with the Loan Documents for the foregoing purposes, (f) perform, exercise, and
enforce any and all other rights and remedies of the Lender Group with respect to Borrower or its Subsidiaries, the Obligations, the Collateral, or otherwise related to any of same as provided in the Loan Documents, and (g) incur and pay such
Lender Group Expenses as Administrative Agent may deem necessary or appropriate for the performance and fulfillment of its functions and powers pursuant to the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, or of any other
provision of the Loan Documents that provides rights or powers to any Agent, Lenders agree that Collateral Agent shall have the right to exercise the following powers as long as this Agreement remains in effect: (a) maintain, in accordance with
its customary business practices, ledgers and records reflecting the status of the Obligations, the Collateral, payments and proceeds of Collateral, and related matters, (b) execute or file any and all financing or similar statements or
notices, amendments, renewals, supplements, documents, instruments, proofs of claim, notices and other written agreements with respect to the Loan Documents to which it is a party, (c) receive, apply, and distribute payments and proceeds of the
Collateral as provided in the Loan Documents, (d) open and maintain such bank accounts and cash management arrangements as such Collateral Agent deems necessary and appropriate in accordance with the Loan Documents for the foregoing purposes,
(e) perform, exercise, and enforce any and all other rights and remedies of the Lender Group with respect to Borrower or its Subsidiaries, the Obligations, the Collateral, or otherwise related to any of same as provided in the Loan Documents,
and (f) incur and pay such Lender Group Expenses as Collateral Agent may deem necessary or appropriate for the performance and fulfillment of its functions and powers pursuant to the Loan Documents. 

15.2.    Delegation of Duties. Any Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other
Loan Document by or through agents, employees or attorneys in fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. No Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney
in fact except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable order that Administrative Agent, as applicable, acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such agent(s) or
attorney(s) in fact. 
 15.3.    Liability of Agents. None of the Agent-Related Persons 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 as determined
by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and nonappealable order), or (b) be responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or
Affiliates, or any officer or director thereof, contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by any 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 any failure of Borrower or its Subsidiaries or any other party to any
Loan Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Agent-Related Person shall be under any obligation to any Lenders to ascertain or to inquire as to the 

  
 -47- 

 
observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the books and records or properties of Borrower or its
Subsidiaries. 
 15.4.    Reliance by Agents. Any Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully
protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, telefacsimile or other electronic method of transmission, telex 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 Borrower or counsel to any Lender), independent accountants and other
experts selected by such Agent. Any Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless such Agent shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Lenders as it deems
appropriate and until such instructions are received, such Agent shall act, or refrain from acting, as it deems advisable. If any Agent so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all
liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Any 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 Required Lenders and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all of the Lenders. 

15.5.    Notice of Default or Event of Default. No Agent shall 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, fees, and expenses required to be paid to such Agent for the account of the Lenders and, except with respect to Events of Default
of which such Agent has actual knowledge, unless such Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default, and stating that such notice is a “notice of
default.” Each Agent promptly will notify the Lenders of its receipt of any such notice or of any Event of Default of which such Agent has actual knowledge. If any Lender obtains actual knowledge of any Event of Default, such Lender promptly
shall notify the other Lenders and each Agent of such Event of Default. Each Lender shall be solely responsible for giving any notices to its Participants, if any. Subject to Section 15.4, each Agent shall take such action with respect
to such Default or Event of Default as may be requested by the Required Lenders in accordance with Section 9; provided, that unless and until an Agent has received any such request, each 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. 

15.6.    Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that none of the Agent-Related Persons has made any
representation or warranty to it, and that no act by any Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of Borrower and its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent-Related
Person to any Lender. Each Lender represents to Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such due diligence, documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own
appraisal of an investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Borrower or any other Person party to a Loan Document, and all applicable bank regulatory laws relating to the
transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to Borrower. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person 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 Borrower or any other Person party to a Loan Document. Except for notices, reports, and other documents
expressly 

  
 -48- 

 
herein required to be furnished to the Lenders by an Agent, such 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 Borrower or any other Person party to a Loan Document that may come into the possession of any of the Agent-Related Persons. Each Lender acknowledges
that no Agent has any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis (except to the extent, if any, that is expressly specified herein) to provide such Lender with any credit or other information with respect to Borrower, its
Affiliates or any of their respective business, legal, financial or other affairs, and irrespective of whether such information came into an Agent’s or its Affiliates’ or representatives’ possession before or after the date on which
such Lender became a party to this Agreement. 
 15.7.    Costs and Expenses; Indemnification. Each Agent
may incur and pay Lender Group Expenses to the extent such Agent reasonably deems necessary or appropriate for the performance and fulfillment of its functions, powers, and obligations pursuant to the Loan Documents, including court costs,
attorneys’ fees and expenses, fees and expenses of financial accountants, advisors, consultants, and appraisers, costs of collection by outside collection agencies, auctioneer fees and expenses, and costs of security guards or insurance
premiums paid to maintain the Collateral, whether or not Borrower is obligated to reimburse an Agent or Lenders for such expenses pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise. Each Agent is authorized and directed to deduct and retain sufficient amounts
from payments or proceeds of the Collateral received by such Agent to reimburse such Agent for such out-of-pocket costs and expenses prior to the distribution of any
amounts to Lenders. In the event any Agent is not reimbursed for such costs and expenses by Borrower or its Subsidiaries, each Lender hereby agrees that it is and shall be obligated to pay to such Agent such Lender’s ratable thereof. Whether or
not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, each of the Lenders, on a ratable basis, shall indemnify and defend the Agent-Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of Borrower and without limiting the obligation of
Borrower to do so) from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities; provided, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to any Agent-Related Person of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities resulting solely from such
Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and nonappealable order) nor shall any Lender be liable for the obligations of any Defaulting Lender in failing to make a Term Loan
or other extension of credit hereunder. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse any Agent upon demand for such Lender’s ratable share of any costs or out of pocket expenses (including attorneys, accountants, advisors,
and consultants fees and expenses) incurred by such 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 or any other Loan Document to the extent that such Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of Borrower. The undertaking in this Section shall survive the payment
of all Obligations hereunder and the resignation or replacement of any Agent. 
 15.8.    Agents in Individual
Capacity. Each of Wells Fargo, Wilmington and their respective Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire Equity Interests in, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust,
financial advisory, underwriting, or other business with Borrower and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates and any other Person party to any Loan Document as though Wells Fargo and Wilmington were not Agents hereunder, and, in each case, without notice
to or consent of the other members of the Lender Group. The other members of the Lender Group acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, Wells Fargo, Wilmington and their respective Affiliates may receive information regarding Borrower or its
Affiliates or any other Person party to any Loan Documents that is subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of Borrower or such other Person and that prohibit the disclosure of such information to the Lenders, and the Lenders acknowledge
that, in such circumstances (and in the absence of a waiver of such confidentiality 

  
 -49- 

 
obligations, which waiver each Agent will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain), no Agent shall be under any obligation to provide such information to them. 

15.9.    Successor Agents. Each Agent may resign as an Agent upon 30 days (10 days if an Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing) prior written notice to the Lenders (unless such notice is waived by the Required Lenders). In addition, the Required Lenders may remove or terminate any Agent upon not less than 10 days’ written notice to such
Agent and Borrower (unless such notice is waived by Borrower or an Event of Default exists). If any Agent resigns or is terminated, as the case may be, under this Agreement, the Required Lenders shall be entitled to appoint a successor Agent for the
Lenders. If no successor Agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation or termination, as the case may be, of Agent, the Required Lenders may appoint a successor Agent from among the Lenders or such other Person as the Required
Lenders shall select. In any such event, upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor Agent hereunder, such successor Agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers, and duties of the retiring Agent and the term “Agent” shall mean
such successor Agent and the retiring Agent’s appointment, powers, and duties as an Agent shall be terminated. After any retiring Agent’s resignation or termination, as the case may be, hereunder as an Agent, the provisions of this
Section 15 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was an Agent under this Agreement. If no successor Agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as
applicable, by the date which is 30 days following a retiring Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of such Agent
hereunder until such time, if any, as the Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above. 

15.10.    Lender in Individual Capacity. Any Lender and its respective Affiliates may make loans to, issue
letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire Equity Interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting, or other business with Borrower and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates and any
other Person party to any Loan Documents as though such Lender were not a Lender hereunder without notice to or consent of the other members of the Lender Group. The other members of the Lender Group acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities,
such Lender and its respective Affiliates may receive information regarding Borrower or its Affiliates or any other Person party to any Loan Documents that is subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of Borrower or such other Person and that
prohibit the disclosure of such information to the Lenders, and the Lenders acknowledge that, in such circumstances, such Lender shall not be under any obligation to provide such information to them. 

15.11.    Collateral Matters. 

(a)    The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize Collateral Agent to release any Lien on any Collateral (i) upon the
termination of the Commitments and payment and satisfaction in full by Borrower of all of the Obligations, (ii) constituting property being sold or disposed of if a release is required or desirable in connection therewith and if Borrower
certifies to Collateral Agent that the sale or disposition is permitted under Section 6.4 (and Collateral Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry), (iii) constituting property in which neither
Borrower nor its Subsidiaries owned any interest at the time Collateral Agent’s Lien was granted nor at any time thereafter, (iv) constituting property leased or licensed to Borrower or its Subsidiaries under a lease or license that has
expired or is terminated in a transaction permitted under this Agreement, or (v) in connection with a credit bid or purchase authorized under this Section 15.11. The Loan Parties and the Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize each
Agent, based upon the instruction of the Required Lenders, to (a) consent to, credit bid or purchase (either directly or indirectly through one or more entities) all or any portion of the Collateral at any sale thereof conducted under the
provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, (b) credit bid or purchase (either directly or indirectly through one or more 

  
 -50- 

 
entities) all or any portion of the Collateral at any sale or other disposition thereof conducted under the provisions of the Code, including pursuant to Sections
9-610 or 9-620 of the Code, or (c) credit bid or purchase (either directly or indirectly through one or more entities) all or any portion of the Collateral at any
other sale or foreclosure conducted or consented to by an Agent in accordance with applicable law in any judicial action or proceeding or by the exercise of any legal or equitable remedy. In connection with any such credit bid or purchase,
(i) the Obligations owed to the Lenders shall be entitled to be, and shall be, credit bid on a ratable basis (with Obligations with respect to contingent or unliquidated claims being estimated for such purpose if the fixing or liquidation
thereof would not impair or unduly delay the ability of an Agent to credit bid or purchase at such sale or other disposition of the Collateral and, if such contingent or unliquidated claims cannot be estimated without impairing or unduly delaying
the ability of an Agent to credit bid at such sale or other disposition, then such claims shall be disregarded, not credit bid, and not entitled to any interest in the Collateral that is the subject of such credit bid or purchase) and the Lenders
whose Obligations are credit bid shall be entitled to receive interests (ratably based upon the proportion of their Obligations credit bid in relation to the aggregate amount of Obligations so credit bid) in the Collateral that is the subject of
such credit bid or purchase (or in the Equity Interests of the any entities that are used to consummate such credit bid or purchase), and (ii) each Agent, based upon the instruction of the Required Lenders, may accept non-cash consideration, including debt and equity securities issued by any entities used to consummate such credit bid or purchase and in connection therewith such Agent may reduce the Obligations owed to the
Lenders (ratably based upon the proportion of their Obligations credit bid in relation to the aggregate amount of Obligations so credit bid) based upon the value of such non-cash consideration. Except as
provided above, no Agent will execute and deliver a release of any Lien on any Collateral without the prior written authorization of (y) if the release is of all or substantially all of the Collateral, all of the Lenders, or (z) otherwise,
the Required Lenders. Upon request by Collateral Agent or Borrower at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing Collateral Agent’s authority to release any such Liens on particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this
Section 15.11; provided, that (1) anything to the contrary contained in any of the Loan Documents notwithstanding, Collateral Agent shall not be required to execute any document or take any action necessary to evidence such
release on terms that, in Collateral Agent’s opinion, could expose Collateral Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such Lien without recourse, representation, or warranty, and
(2) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect, or impair the Obligations or any Liens (other than those expressly released) upon (or obligations of Borrower in respect of) any and all interests retained by Borrower, including, the
proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral. Each Lender further hereby irrevocably authorize Collateral Agent, at its option and in its sole discretion, to subordinate any Lien granted to or held by
Collateral Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Permitted Lien on such property if such Permitted Lien secures Permitted Purchase Money Indebtedness. 

(b)    Collateral Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any of the Lenders (i) to verify or assure that the
Collateral exists or is owned by Borrower or its Subsidiaries or is cared for, protected, or insured or has been encumbered, (ii) to verify or assure that Collateral Agent’s Liens have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created,
perfected, protected, or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, (iii) to verify or assure that any particular items of Collateral meet the eligibility criteria applicable in respect thereof, (iv) to impose, maintain,
increase, reduce, implement, or eliminate any particular reserve hereunder or to determine whether the amount of any reserve is appropriate or not, or (v) 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, authorities and powers granted or available to Collateral Agent pursuant to any of the Loan Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission, or
event related thereto, subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, Collateral Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion given Collateral Agent’s own interest in the Collateral in its capacity as one
of the Lenders and that Collateral Agent shall 

  
 -51- 

 
have no other duty or liability whatsoever to any Lender as to any of the foregoing, except as otherwise expressly provided herein. 

15.12.    Restrictions on Actions by Lenders; Sharing of Payments. 

(a)    Each of the Lenders agrees that it shall not, without the express written consent of Administrative Agent, set off
against the Obligations, any amounts owing by such Lender to Borrower or its Subsidiaries or any deposit accounts of Borrower or its Subsidiaries now or hereafter maintained with such Lender. Each of the Lenders further agrees that it shall not,
unless specifically requested to do so in writing by Administrative Agent, take or cause to be taken any action, including, the commencement of any legal or equitable proceedings to enforce any Loan Document against Borrower or any Guarantor or to
foreclose any Lien on, or otherwise enforce any security interest in, any of the Collateral. 
 (b)    If, at any time
or times any Lender shall receive (i) by payment, foreclosure, setoff, or otherwise, any proceeds of Collateral or any payments with respect to the Obligations, except for any such proceeds or payments received by such Lender from an Agent
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or (ii) payments from Administrative Agent in excess of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of all such distributions by Administrative Agent, such Lender promptly shall
(A) turn the same over to Administrative Agent, in kind, and with such endorsements as may be required to negotiate the same to Administrative Agent, or in immediately available funds, as applicable, for the account of all of the Lenders and
for application to the Obligations in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement, or (B) purchase, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in the Obligations owed to the other Lenders so that such
excess payment received shall be applied ratably as among the Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares; provided, that to the extent that such excess payment received by the purchasing party is thereafter recovered from it, those
purchases of participations shall be rescinded in whole or in part, as applicable, and the applicable portion of the purchase price paid therefor shall be returned to such purchasing party, but without interest except to the extent that such
purchasing party is required to pay interest in connection with the recovery of the excess payment. 

15.13.    Agency for Perfection. Collateral Agent hereby appoints each other Lender as its agent (and each
Lender hereby accepts such appointment) for the purpose of perfecting Collateral Agent’s Liens in assets which, in accordance with Article 8 or Article 9, as applicable, of the Code can be perfected by possession or control. Should any Lender
obtain possession or control of any such Collateral, such Lender shall notify Collateral Agent thereof, and, promptly upon Collateral Agent’s request therefor shall deliver possession or control of such Collateral to Collateral Agent or in
accordance with Collateral Agent’s instructions. 
 15.14.    Payments by Agents to the Lenders. All
payments to be made by an Agent to the Lenders shall be made by bank wire transfer of immediately available funds pursuant to such wire transfer instructions as each party may designate for itself by written notice to such Agent. Concurrently with
each such payment, each Agent shall identify whether such payment (or any portion thereof) represents principal, premium, fees, or interest of the Obligations. 

15.15.    Concerning the Collateral and Related Loan Documents. Each member of the Lender Group authorizes
and directs Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent to enter into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party. Each member of the Lender Group agrees that any action taken by an Agent in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents relating to the Collateral and the exercise by any Agent of its powers set forth therein or 

  
 -52- 

 
herein, together with such other powers that are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be binding upon all of the Lenders. 

15.16.    [Intentionally Omitted]. 

15.17.    Several Obligations; No Liability. Notwithstanding that certain of the Loan Documents now or
hereafter may have been or will be executed only by or in favor of Administrative Agent in its capacity as such, and not by or in favor of the Lenders, any and all obligations on the part of Administrative Agent (if any) to make any credit available
hereunder shall constitute the several (and not joint) obligations of the respective Lenders on a ratable basis, according to their respective Commitments, to make an amount of such credit not to exceed, in principal amount, at any one time
outstanding, the amount of their respective Commitments. Nothing contained herein shall confer upon any Lender any interest in, or subject any Lender to any liability for, or in respect of, the business, assets, profits, losses, or liabilities of
any other Lender. Each Lender shall be solely responsible for notifying its Participants of any matters relating to the Loan Documents to the extent any such notice may be required, and no Lender shall have any obligation, duty, or liability to any
Participant of any other Lender. Except as provided in Section 15.7, no member of the Lender Group shall have any liability for the acts of any other member of the Lender Group. No Lender shall be responsible to Borrower or any other
Person for any failure by any other Lender to fulfill its obligations to make credit available hereunder, nor to advance for such Lender or on its behalf, nor to take any other action on behalf of such Lender hereunder or in connection with the
financing contemplated herein. 
  

	16.	WITHHOLDING TAXES. 

 16.1.    Payments. All payments by
or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document will be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any present or future Indemnified Taxes, and in the event any deduction or withholding of Indemnified
Taxes is required, Borrower shall comply with the next sentence of this Section 16.1. If any Indemnified Taxes are so levied or imposed, Borrower agrees to pay the full amount of such Indemnified Taxes and such additional amounts as may
be necessary so that every payment of all amounts due under this Agreement, any note, or Loan Document, including any amount paid pursuant to this Section 16.1 after withholding or deduction for or on account of any Indemnified Taxes,
will not be less than the amount provided for herein. Borrower shall indemnify each Agent and each Lender and Participant, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or
asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 16.1) payable or paid by such Agent, Lender or Participant or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Agent, Lender or Participant and any reasonable
expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. Borrower will furnish to Administrative Agent as promptly as possible
after the date the payment of any Indemnified Tax is due pursuant to applicable law, certified copies of tax receipts evidencing such payment by Borrower. Borrower agrees to pay any present or future stamp, value added or documentary taxes or any
other excise or property taxes, charges, or similar levies that arise from any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery, performance, recordation, or filing of, or otherwise with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

 16.2.    Exemptions. 

(a)    If a Lender or Participant is entitled to claim an exemption or reduction from United States withholding tax, such
Lender or Participant agrees with and in favor of Administrative Agent, to deliver to Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender granting the participation only) one of the following before receiving its first payment
under this Agreement: 

  
 -53- 

 (i)    if such Lender or Participant is entitled to claim an exemption from
United States withholding tax pursuant to the portfolio interest exception, (A) a statement of the Lender or Participant, signed under penalty of perjury, that it is not a (I) a “bank” as described in Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the
IRC, (II) a 10% shareholder of Borrower (within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the IRC), or (III) a controlled foreign corporation related to Borrower within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the IRC, and (B) a properly
completed and executed IRS Form W-8BEN-E or Form W-8IMY (with proper attachments); 

(ii)    if such Lender or Participant is entitled to claim an exemption from, or a reduction of, withholding tax under a
United States tax treaty, a properly completed and executed copy of IRS Form W-8BEN-E; 

(iii)    if such Lender or Participant is entitled to claim that interest paid under this Agreement is exempt from United
States withholding tax because it is effectively connected with a United States trade or business of such Lender, a properly completed and executed copy of IRS Form W-8ECI; 

(iv)    if such Lender or Participant is entitled to claim that interest paid under this Agreement is exempt from United
States withholding tax because such Lender or Participant serves as an intermediary, a properly completed and executed copy of IRS Form W-8IMY (with proper attachments); or 

(v)    a properly completed and executed copy of any other form or forms, including IRS Form W-9, as may be required under the IRC or other laws of the United States as a condition to exemption from, or reduction of, United States withholding or backup withholding tax. 

(b)    Each Lender and each Participant shall provide new forms (or successor forms) upon the expiration or obsolescence
of any previously delivered forms or promptly notify Borrower and Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. Each Lender or Participant shall promptly notify Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender
granting the participation only) of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction. 

(c)    If a Lender or Participant claims an exemption from withholding tax in a jurisdiction other than the United States,
such Lender or such Participant agrees with and in favor of Administrative Agent, to deliver to Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender granting the participation only) any such form or forms, as may be required under
the laws of such jurisdiction as a condition to exemption from, or reduction of, foreign withholding or backup withholding tax before receiving its first payment under this Agreement, but only if such Lender or such Participant is legally able to
deliver such forms, provided, that nothing in this Section 16.2(c) shall require a Lender or Participant to disclose any information that it deems to be confidential (including without limitation, its tax returns). Each Lender and each
Participant shall provide new forms (or successor forms) upon the expiration or obsolescence of any previously delivered forms or promptly notify Borrower and Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. Each Lender and each
Participant shall promptly notify Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender granting the participation only) of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction. 

(d)    If a Lender or Participant claims exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax and such Lender or Participant
sells, assigns, grants a participation in, or otherwise transfers all or part 

  
 -54- 

 
of the Obligations of Borrower, such Lender or Participant agrees to notify Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a sale of a participation interest, to the Lender granting the participation
only) of the percentage amount in which it is no longer the beneficial owner of Obligations of Borrower. To the extent of such percentage amount, Administrative Agent will treat such Lender’s or such Participant’s documentation provided
pursuant to Section 16.2(a) or 16.2(c) as no longer valid. With respect to such percentage amount, such Assignee (or assignee Participant) may provide new documentation, pursuant to Section 16.2(a) or 16.2(c), if
applicable. Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of this Section 16 with respect to its participation in any portion of the Commitments and the Obligations so long as such Participant complies with the
obligations set forth in this Section 16 with respect thereto. 
 16.3.    Reductions. 

(a)    If a Lender or a Participant is entitled to a reduction in the applicable withholding tax, Administrative Agent
(or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender granting the participation) may withhold from any interest payment to such Lender or such Participant an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax after taking into account such reduction.
If the forms or other documentation required by Section 16.2(a) or 16.2(c) are not delivered to Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender granting the participation), then Administrative Agent (or, in the
case of a Participant, to the Lender granting the participation) may withhold from any interest payment to such Lender or such Participant not providing such forms or other documentation an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax. 

(b)    If the IRS or any other Governmental Authority of the United States or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that
Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender granting the participation) did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender or any Participant due to a failure on the part of the Lender or
any Participant (because the appropriate form was not delivered, was not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify Administrative Agent (or such Participant failed to notify the Lender granting the participation) of a change in
circumstances which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective, or for any other reason) such Lender shall indemnify and hold Administrative Agent harmless (or, in the case of a Participant, such Participant shall
indemnify and hold the Lender granting the participation harmless) for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender granting the participation), as tax or otherwise, including
penalties and interest, and including any taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on the amounts payable to Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender granting the participation only) under this Section 16, together
with all costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses). The obligation of the Lenders and the Participants under this subsection shall survive the payment of all Obligations and the resignation or replacement of Administrative
Agent. 
 16.4.    Refunds. If Administrative Agent or a Lender reasonably determines that it has received
a refund of any Indemnified Taxes to which Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 16, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, it shall pay over such refund to Borrower (but only to
the extent of payments made, or additional amounts paid, by Borrower under this Section 16 with respect to Indemnified Taxes giving rise to such a refund), net of all
out-of-pocket expenses of Administrative Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the applicable Governmental Authority with respect to
such a refund); provided, that Borrower, upon the request of Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges, imposed by the applicable Governmental
Authority, other than such penalties, interest or other charges imposed as a result of the willful misconduct or gross negligence of Administrative Agent hereunder as determined by a court of competent

  
 -55- 

 
jurisdiction in a final and nonappealable order) to Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental
Authority. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, this Section 16 shall not be construed to require Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information which
it deems confidential) to Borrower or any other Person. 
  

	17.	GENERAL PROVISIONS. 

 17.1.    Effectiveness. This
Agreement shall be binding and deemed effective when executed by Borrower, Administrative Agent, and each Lender whose signature is provided for on the signature pages hereof. 

17.2.    Section Headings. Headings and numbers have been set forth herein for convenience only. Unless the
contrary is compelled by the context, everything contained in each Section applies equally to this entire Agreement. 

17.3.    Interpretation. Neither this Agreement nor any uncertainty or ambiguity herein shall be construed
against the Lender Group or Borrower, whether under any rule of construction or otherwise. On the contrary, this Agreement has been reviewed by all parties and shall be construed and interpreted according to the ordinary meaning of the words used so
as to accomplish fairly the purposes and intentions of all parties hereto. 
 17.4.    Severability of
Provisions. Each provision of this Agreement shall be severable from every other provision of this Agreement for the purpose of determining the legal enforceability of any specific provision. 

17.5.    [Intentionally Omitted]. 

17.6.    Debtor-Creditor Relationship. The relationship between the Lenders and Agents, on the one
hand, and the Loan Parties, on the other hand, is solely that of creditor and debtor. No member of the Lender Group has (or shall be deemed to have) any fiduciary relationship or duty to any Loan Party arising out of or in connection with the Loan
Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby, and there is no agency or joint venture relationship between the members of the Lender Group, on the one hand, and the Loan Parties, on the other hand, by virtue of any Loan Document or any
transaction contemplated therein. 
 17.7.    Counterparts; Electronic Execution. This Agreement may be
executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one and the same
Agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement by telefacsimile or other electronic method of transmission shall be equally as effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement. Any party delivering an
executed counterpart of this Agreement by telefacsimile or other electronic method of transmission also shall deliver an original executed counterpart of this Agreement but the failure to deliver an original executed counterpart shall not affect the
validity, enforceability, and binding effect of this Agreement. The foregoing shall apply to each other Loan Document mutatis mutandis. 

17.8.    Revival and Reinstatement of Obligations; Certain Waivers. If any member of the Lender Group
repays, refunds, restores, or returns in whole or in part, any payment or property (including any proceeds of Collateral) previously paid or transferred to such member of the Lender Group in full or partial satisfaction of any Obligation or on
account of any other obligation of any Loan Party 

  
 -56- 

 
under any Loan Document, because the payment, transfer, or the incurrence of the obligation so satisfied is asserted or declared to be void, voidable, or otherwise recoverable under any law
relating to creditors’ rights, including provisions of the Bankruptcy Code relating to fraudulent transfers, preferences, or other voidable or recoverable obligations or transfers (each, a “Voidable Transfer”), or because such
member of the Lender Group elects to do so on the reasonable advice of its counsel in connection with a claim that the payment, transfer, or incurrence is or may be a Voidable Transfer, then, as to any such Voidable Transfer, or the amount thereof
that such member of the Lender Group elects to repay, restore, or return (including pursuant to a settlement of any claim in respect thereof), and as to all reasonable costs, expenses, and attorneys’ fees of such member of the Lender Group
related thereto, (i) the liability of the Loan Parties with respect to the amount or property paid, refunded, restored, or returned will automatically and immediately be revived, reinstated, and restored and will exist and (ii) Collateral
Agent’s Liens securing such liability shall be effective, revived, and remain in full force and effect, in each case, as fully as if such Voidable Transfer had never been made. If, prior to any of the foregoing, (A) Collateral Agent’s
Liens shall have been released or terminated or (B) any provision of this Agreement shall have been terminated or cancelled, Collateral Agent’s Liens, or such provision of this Agreement, shall be reinstated in full force and effect and
such prior release, termination, cancellation or surrender shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligation of any Loan Party in respect of such liability or any Collateral securing such liability. 

17.9.    Confidentiality. 

(a)    Agents and Lenders each individually (and not jointly or jointly and severally) agree that material, non-public information regarding Borrower and its Subsidiaries, their operations, assets, and existing and contemplated business plans (“Confidential Information”) shall be treated by Agents and the
Lenders in a confidential manner, and shall not be disclosed by Agents and the Lenders to Persons who are not parties to this Agreement, except: (i) to attorneys for and other advisors, accountants, auditors, and consultants to any member of
the Lender Group and to employees, directors and officers of any member of the Lender Group (the Persons in this clause (i), “Lender Group Representatives”) on a “need to know” basis in connection with this Agreement and
the transactions contemplated hereby and on a confidential basis, (ii) to Subsidiaries and Affiliates of any member of the Lender Group, provided that any such Subsidiary or Affiliate shall have agreed to receive such information hereunder
subject to the terms of this Section 17.9, (iii) as may be required by regulatory authorities so long as such authorities are informed of the confidential nature of such information, (iv) as may be required by statute,
decision, or judicial or administrative order, rule, or regulation; provided that (x) prior to any disclosure under this clause (iv), the disclosing party agrees to provide Borrower with prior notice thereof, to the extent that it is
practicable to do so and to the extent that the disclosing party is permitted to provide such prior notice to Borrower pursuant to the terms of the applicable statute, decision, or judicial or administrative order, rule, or regulation and
(y) any disclosure under this clause (iv) shall be limited to the portion of the Confidential Information as may be required by such statute, decision, or judicial or administrative order, rule, or regulation, (v) as may be agreed to
in advance in writing by Borrower, (vi) as requested or required by any Governmental Authority pursuant to any subpoena or other legal process, provided, that, (x) prior to any disclosure under this clause (vi) the disclosing party
agrees to provide Borrower with prior written notice thereof, to the extent that it is practicable to do so and to the extent that the disclosing party is permitted to provide such prior written notice to Borrower pursuant to the terms of the
subpoena or other legal process and (y) any disclosure under this clause (vi) shall be limited to the portion of the Confidential Information as may be required by such Governmental Authority pursuant to such subpoena or other legal

			(C)Commencing with Contract Year 6, by notice to Seller on or before September 15th each calendar year, Buyer may require an increase or decrease of not more than five percent (5%) to the Annual Gas Commitment for the next-succeeding Contract Year (each a “Minor Gas Adjustment”).  The Minor Gas Adjustment shall be applied to the Daily Rate uniformly for each Day of the succeeding Contract Year. If Buyer provides a notice of Minor Gas Adjustment (each, a “Minor Adjustment Notice”), then the applicable Annual Gas Commitment and the related Daily Rate applicable to such succeeding Contract Year shall be adjusted as described in the Minor Adjustment Notice. Buyer may not provide a Minor Adjustment Notice that reduces the Annual Contract Quantity for the purpose of buying the Minor Gas Adjustment volume from a third party and the Minor Adjustment Notice shall certify that the Minor Gas Adjustment is not for that purpose. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Minor Gas Adjustment reduces the applicable Annual Gas Commitment, Seller may sell the applicable volume of Gas equal to the reduction to third parties. If Buyer later determines Buyer needs to purchase all or a portion of the volumes reduced by a Minor Adjustment Notice, Buyer shall provide Seller reasonable notice and Seller shall have the option, in its sole discretion, to supply those requested volumes to Buyer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. For clarity, a five percent (5%) increase in the Annual Gas Commitment would change a Daily Rate of 5.0 MMcfpd to 5.25 MMcfpd for each Day of the Contract Year.
		

		
			(D)Beginning in 2021, by notice to Seller on or before September 15th each calendar year (“Option Gas Notice”), Buyer may require an increase of not more than 5,000 Mcf per Day of Firm Gas (“Option Gas”) for the Contract Year following the next-succeeding Contract Year.  Any such Option Gas shall be added to the applicable Annual Gas Commitment of, and shall have the same Daily Rate of deliveries for each Day of, such succeeding Contract Year.  For the avoidance of doubt, each Option Gas Notice shall apply only to the next-succeeding Contract Year and not to any other Contract Years; provided, that Option Gas Notices may be issued for each applicable Contract Year.  For clarity, if Buyer in its Option Gas Notice requires less the 5,000 Mcf per day of Option Gas for a Contract Year, then Seller has no further obligation to reserve the quantity of Option Gas

		the Buyer did not request for that Contract Year. 
		

		
			(E)Without limiting the foregoing Sections 2.1(C) and 2.1(D), beginning in Contract Year 7, by notice to Seller each Day, Buyer may require an increase of not more than 2,000 Mcf per Day of Firm Gas for delivery on the Day following such notice (“Additional Daily Gas”), Seller shall provide such Additional Daily Gas, and the Daily Rate for such Day shall be increased to include such Additional Daily Gas. 
		

		
			2.2Daily Nomination of Deliveries.  Buyer shall nominate to Seller by email, by 12:00 noon each Day, a volume of (i) Firm Gas up to Daily Rate volume of Gas agreed to for the then-current Contract Year (as per the table set forth in Section 2.1(B) with respect to the applicable Contract Year, as may be adjusted pursuant to Section 2.1) and, (ii) if applicable, a volume of Interruptible Gas, that Buyer desires to receive and purchase from Seller on the next Day.  Without limiting the foregoing, Buyer and Seller will work together on a continuous basis, as necessary, to schedule deliveries and receipt of Gas.  If Buyer does not nominate an amount less than the applicable Daily Rate for that next Day, by 12:00 noon each Day, Seller shall deliver the next Day the Daily Rate of Firm Gas required pursuant to the table in Section 2.1(B) above. 
		

		
			2.3Rate Variations.  Unless otherwise agreed in an Operational Notice, daily delivery of the Gas volumes nominated in accordance with Section 2.2, including Interruptible Gas, shall be delivered at continuous uniform rate during the Day.  Changes to the delivery rate of Interruptible Gas volumes to be delivered on a particular Day under this Agreement and any Transaction Confirmation shall be as specified in an Operational Notice agreed to by the Parties requires twenty-four (24) hours prior written notice to Buyer.
		

		
			2.4Transportation.    
		

		
			(A)The Seller is solely responsible for arranging the logistics and costs of transporting Gas to the Delivery Points. Buyer is solely responsible for arranging the logistics and costs of transporting Gas from the Delivery Points.
		

		
			(B)Seller shall have an Operational Balancing Agreement (OBA) with KBPL for each applicable Delivery Point if it is offered as a service in KBPL’s RCA approved tariff.  If Seller has more than one Delivery Point on KBPL, Buyer may require Seller to have a Pool Delivery Point (as defined in the KBPL tariff) for the entire KBPL system.
		

		
			2.5Additional Sales.

			8.TERMINATION
		

		
			8.1The Parties agree that this Agreement is a forward contract within the meaning of and for the purposes of the United States Bankruptcy Code, as amended.  Further each Party represents to the other Party that it is a forward contract merchant as such term is defined in and for the purposes of the Bankruptcy Code, as amended.  If (a) a Party becomes the subject of bankruptcy or other insolvency proceedings, or proceedings for the appointment of a receiver, trustee, or similar official, (b) a Party becomes generally unable to pay its debts in the regular course of business as they become due, or (c) a Party makes a general assignment of all or substantially all of its assets for the benefit of creditors, the other Party to this Agreement may suspend its performance hereunder and/or terminate this Agreement effective on notice to the other Party, provided that in the case of the foregoing clause (a), no notice to the other Party will be required.
		

		
			8.2In the event that: (a) either Party defaults in its undisputed payment obligations, or (b) either Party defaults in its performance of any other material obligation hereunder; and (i) in the case of a default under Section 8.2(a), the non-defaulting Party has given notice to the defaulting Party of such default and the defaulting Party has not cured such default within thirty (30) Days from the date it receives the notice to cure such default, or (ii) in the case of a default under Section 8.2(b), the non-defaulting Party has given notice to the defaulting Party specifying the default and the defaulting Party has not cured such default within sixty (60) Days from the date it receives the notice to cure such default, then the non-defaulting Party has the right to withhold or suspend deliveries or payment, or terminate this Agreement, each in the sole discretion of the non-defaulting Party, effective on written notice to the other Party. 
		

		
			9.FORCE MAJEURE; FIELD OPERATIONS GAS; PRIORITY OBLIGATION
		

		
			9.1In the event a Party is rendered unable wholly or in part by Force Majeure to perform its obligations under this Agreement, the obligations of such Party, insofar as fulfillment of the obligation is prevented by such Force Majeure, excluding indemnification obligations and obligation to pay money that has become due and payable hereunder, will be suspended during the continuance of any inability so caused, but for no longer period, and such affected Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to remedy such Force Majeure, to minimize the impact of the Force Majeure on the non-affected Party, and to resume its performance of the affected obligations as soon as is reasonably possible. In the event that either Party is affected by a Force Majeure that entirely prevents the affected Party’s performance for more than sixty (60) consecutive Days, the non-affected Party may terminate this Agreement, in the sole discretion of the non-affected Party, effective on ten (10) days’ written notice to the affected Party.

		9.2The term “Force Majeure,” as used herein, means acts of God, natural disasters and catastrophes (including, without limitation, fire, lightning, landslide, earthquake, volcano activity, storm, hurricane, hurricane warning, flood, high water, or explosion); acts of the public enemy, war, strikes, lockouts or industrial disputes or disturbances, civil disturbances; breakage or accident to machinery or lines of pipes, partial or total failure, curtailment or unavailability of a Gas well, Seller’s Facilities, a Gas storage facility (including, without limitation, CINGSA) or any facilities for the transmission of electricity; acts or omissions of public bodies or officers acting under claims of authority; or any other cause, whether or not similar to the foregoing, that is beyond the reasonable control of and could not have been prevented by the affected Party with reasonable foresight, at reasonable cost, and by the exercise of reasonable diligence in good faith, and is not attributable to the negligence or willful misconduct of the affected Party, but only to the extent any such incident wholly or partially prevents or hinders the affected Party from performing its obligations under this Agreement or any Transaction Confirmation. Settlement of strikes, lockouts, or other labor disputes will be entirely within the discretion of the Party having the difficulty and the above requirements that any Force Majeure event must be remedied with all reasonable dispatch do not require the Party experiencing strikes, lockouts, or other labor disputes to accede to any demand of opposing persons when such course is inadvisable in the sole discretion of that Party.  “Force Majeure” does not include any of the following events or circumstances: (a) lack of funds, (b) financial hardship or the inability of a Party to make a profit or achieve a satisfactory rate of return from the sale, purchase or consumption of Gas, or (c) loss of customers or loss of markets.
		

		
			9.3A Party experiencing a Force Majeure event shall provide Operational Notice of the Force Majeure event as soon as reasonably possible after becoming aware of the occurrence of such event, and in any case, no later than 48 hours after becoming aware of the occurrence thereof. The Operational Notice must include a description of the nature of the event, and an estimate of its extent and duration. The Party experiencing the Force Majeure event shall update any affected other Parties on a reasonably frequent basis as to the affected Party’s progress in resolving the Force Majeure event.
		

		
			9.4Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Seller may cease or curtail deliveries of Gas under this Agreement to ensure a sufficient supply of Field Operations Gas, and the Parties shall be relieved of all obligations to each other solely with respect to such Field Operations Gas.
		

		
			9.5If it is determined by Seller in its reasonable determination, that Seller’s available Gas reserves or Seller’s Gas production are insufficient to permit it to (i) make Firm Gas deliveries under this Agreement and (ii) meet Seller’s Existing Commitments, then (A) Seller may in its sole discretion, from time to time temporarily reduce Gas deliveries under this Agreement to an amount (not less than zero) sufficient to give priority to such Seller’s Existing Commitments and

		(B) the provisions of Article 14 shall apply to all such Gas volumes reduced by Seller. 
		

		
			9.6Without limiting any other provision of this Agreement (but subject to Section 9.5), if at any time Seller reasonably determines that Seller’s Gas production is, due solely to an event of Force Majeure affecting Seller, insufficient to permit Seller to both: (A) make available to Buyer the applicable Daily Rate (or any portion thereof); and (B) meet its obligations to other purchasers of Firm Gas required to be offered by Seller pursuant to binding contractual obligations entered into by Seller (“Seller’s Other Obligations”), then solely for the period during which such Force Majeure affects Seller’s performance, Buyer’s right to Firm Gas at the applicable Daily Rate may, in Seller’s reasonable discretion, be subject to Pro Rata Allocation with Seller’s Other Obligations, provided, that under no circumstances shall Buyer receive less than its Pro Rata Allocation. 
		

		
			10.ROYALTIES AND TAXES
		

		
			10.1ADNR Royalties. Seller shall be responsible for the payment of all royalties, and any fees, penalties and assessments attributable to the royalties, on Gas delivered under this Agreement, provided that the Alaska Department of Natural Resources (“ADNR”) agrees that the price paid under this Agreement is the value of the State of Alaska’s royalty share of productions under AS 38.05.180(aa) (with the exception of production covered by a royalty settlement agreement). The Parties shall work together to obtain acceptance by the ADNR of the price paid under this Agreement as the value of the State of Alaska’s royalty share of production under AS 38.05.180(aa) (with the exception of production covered by a royalty settlement agreement). If the Parties are not successful in obtaining such acceptance (with the exception of production covered by a royalty settlement agreement), Buyer shall reimburse Seller for any royalties which exceed the royalties that would be payable if the price paid under this Agreement were equal to the State of Alaska’s royalty share of such production.
		

		
			10.2Royalty in Kind.  If and to the extent that the ADNR elects under applicable laws, regulations, or lease terms to take its royalty in kind, then Seller will have the right, in its sole discretion, to reduce Seller’s obligations under this Agreement.  If Seller elects to reduce its obligations under this Section 10.2, then Seller will notify Buyer within sixty (60) Days after Seller receives formal notice from the ADNR that it intends to take its royalty in kind, of the quantities of Gas that Seller is unable to deliver as a consequence of the State of taking its royalty in kind.  Seller and Buyer will work cooperatively to adjust the Annual Gas Commitments and Daily Rates of Gas volumes required under this Agreement; provided, that Seller shall reduce its obligations hereunder pro rata with reductions in its obligations under other commitments of Gas sales to third parties to the extent allowed without breaching such other commitments and Seller shall not reduce its obligations hereunder more than is necessary in relation to such royalty Gas diversions.  If and to the extent that Seller reduces its obligations to

			10.3General Allocation.  Seller shall pay all taxes, fees, penalties, and assessments (including Production Taxes) attributable to Gas or any other activity or facility prior to the Delivery Points.  Buyer shall pay all taxes, fees, penalties, and assessments attributable to Gas or any other activity or facility after the Delivery Points.
		

		
			10.4New Production Taxes.    Notwithstanding anything in Section 10.3 to the contrary, Buyer shall reimburse Seller for any Production Taxes or other new taxes attributable to the operations and transactions contemplated by this Agreement in excess of $0.25 per Mcf of Gas.

			11.2Without limiting any right of Buyer hereunder or pursuant to applicable law, for the avoidance of doubt, Buyer shall have all rights accruing to the owner of Gas purchased under this Agreement including, without limitation, all rights to resell, store, exchange, and use such Gas, for combustion to make energy sales to any person or otherwise, all as determined in Buyer’s sole and absolute discretion. Buyer agrees to hold Seller harmless from, and indemnify it against, any and all loss, damage, cost, or liability of whatsoever kind arising out of Claims of third persons with respect to the title to such Gas after the Delivery Point, including costs, expenses, and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by Seller in defending against any such Claims.
		

		
			12.NO PUBLIC UTILITY

			13.INDEMNIFICATION

		occurring prior to delivery at the Delivery Point, or other charges for which Seller is responsible under Sections 6.2 or 6.3 or that otherwise attach before title to such Gas passes to Buyer at the Delivery Point(s), subject to the provisions of Article 10.  Buyer agrees to indemnify and defend Seller and save it harmless from all Claims, from any and all persons, arising from or out of claims regarding personal injury (including death) or property damage from Gas delivered under this Agreement occurring after delivery at the Delivery Point, or other charges for which Buyer is responsible under Section 6.4 which attach after title passes to Buyer.
		

		
			13.2Without limiting Section 13.1, as between Seller and Buyer, Seller will be liable for all Claims that arise from the failure of Gas delivered by Seller to Buyer hereunder to meet the quality requirements of Section 5.2.
		

		
			14.COVER DAMAGES; EXCUSED FAILURES; LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
		

		
			14.1Except as set forth in Section 13.2, Buyer’s sole remedy for Seller’s failure to deliver Gas that Seller is obligated to deliver under this Agreement is that Seller shall pay to Buyer: (A) all reasonable costs actually incurred by Buyer, utilizing the Cover Standard, to purchase and transport the amount of Gas (or, if Gas is not reasonably available, to produce and transmit and/or receive an equivalent amount of electric power) necessary to cover the Seller Shortfall Quantity; minus (B) the cost, if less, that would have been incurred by Buyer if Buyer had purchased such Gas (or Gas equivalent) under this Agreement.
		

		
			14.2Notwithstanding anything in Section 14.1 to the contrary, in the event Buyer withdraws any Gas stored by it or on its behalf at CINGSA (or any other Gas storage facility) in order to address any Seller Shortfall Quantity, Seller shall pay to Buyer, as and when invoiced by Buyer, an amount equal to: (1) all costs to withdraw and transport such Seller Shortfall Quantity to the applicable Delivery Point; plus (2) all reasonable costs incurred by Buyer to purchase Gas as necessary to replace such volumes of Gas withdrawn from storage by Buyer; plus (3) all costs to transport and inject such Gas into CINGSA (or any other applicable Gas storage facility).  Buyer shall provide to Seller all information necessary to calculate amounts due from Seller to Buyer (including volume, price, transportations and injections or withdrawal costs (if applicable)), and the delivery Day (as applicable) as soon as practicable after acquiring replacement Gas utilizing the Cover Standard. Before Buyer withdraws any Gas from CINGSA, it shall use commercially reasonable efforts to give Seller six (6) hours written notice that it intends to withdraw such Gas together with the amount of Gas to be withdrawn and an estimate of the costs of withdrawal and transport of such Gas; provided, that Buyer’s failure to provide such a notice shall not limit Buyer’s rights pursuant to this Agreement. 
		

		
			14.3Seller’s sole remedy for Buyer’s failure to receive and pay for any Buyer Shortfall Quantity is the payment to Seller by Buyer of an amount equal to the positive

		difference between (A) the amount that Buyer would have paid hereunder for such Buyer Shortfall Quantity and (B) the amount, if any, received by Seller utilizing the Cover Standard in selling such Gas to a third party.
		

		
			14.4Any amount payable by either Party under this Article 14 shall be payable fifteen (15) Business Days after presentation of the non-defaulting Party’s invoice, which shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis upon which such amount was calculated, and invoices for an event described in Section 14.3 shall be invoiced no later than ninety (90) days following each such event.
		

		
			14.5Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any failure of Buyer to meet its obligations to purchase and receive any amount of Gas hereunder shall be an excused failure under this Agreement, and Buyer shall not be in default of this Agreement and Seller shall not have any remedy against Buyer under this Agreement, including under Section 14.3, if Buyer’s failure to purchase and receive such Gas from Seller is directly due to: (A) Buyer being required to purchase electric power from one or more qualifying facilities pursuant to the Public Utilities Regulatory Policies Act of 1978, 3 AAC 50.50.770(a)-(g) or any successor laws or polices; or (B) Buyer being required, pursuant to any federal, state or local law or regulation, to reduce its use of Gas (including, without limitation, as required to meet emissions standards, renewable portfolio standards, or otherwise); provided, that Buyer shall apply any such reductions in its Gas purchases proportionately among all Gas supply contracts to which Buyer is a party that permit such reductions. Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Seller with at least 30 Business Days’ prior written notice of any such reduction required pursuant to this Section 14.5;  provided, that for the avoidance of doubt the failure to provide such notice shall not affect Buyer’s right to reduce its Gas purchases to the extent required by sub-clauses (A) and (B) above only and Seller shall not have any remedy against Buyer for any such failure to provide notice, including, without limitation, under Section 14.3.  
		

		
			14.6FOR BREACH OF ANY PROVISION FOR WHICH AN EXPRESS REMEDY OR MEASURE OF DAMAGES IS PROVIDED, SUCH EXPRESS REMEDY OR MEASURE OF DAMAGES SHALL BE THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY.  A PARTY’S LIABILITY HEREUNDER SHALL BE LIMITED AS SET FORTH IN SUCH PROVISION, AND ALL OTHER REMEDIES OR DAMAGES AT LAW OR IN EQUITY ARE WAIVED.  IF NO REMEDY OR MEASURE OF DAMAGES IS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED HEREIN OR IN A TRANSACTION CONFIRMATION, A PARTY’S LIABILITY SHALL BE LIMITED TO DIRECT ACTUAL DAMAGES ONLY.  SUCH DIRECT ACTUAL DAMAGES SHALL BE THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY, AND ALL OTHER REMEDIES OR DAMAGES AT LAW OR IN EQUITY ARE WAIVED.  UNLESS EXPRESSLY HEREIN PROVIDED, NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE FOR CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY OR INDIRECT DAMAGES, LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF REVENUES OR OTHER BUSINESS INTERRUPTION DAMAGES, BY

TO THE EXTENT ANY DAMAGES REQUIRED TO BE PAID HEREUNDER ARE LIQUIDATED, THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE DAMAGES ARE DIFFICULT OR IMPOSSIBLE TO DETERMINE, OR OTHERWISE OBTAINING AN ADEQUATE REMEDY IS INCONVENIENT AND THE DAMAGES CALCULATED HEREUNDER CONSTITUTE A REASONABLE APPROXIMATION OF THE HARM OR LOSS.

			15.3Either Party may designate address changes by formal written notice as provided in Section 15.1.
		

		
			16.ASSIGNMENT
		

		
			16.1This Agreement is assignable only with the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.  A Party may withhold consent if, in its commercially reasonable opinion, the proposed assignee is not financially and technically capable of assuming the assigning Party’s obligations pursuant to this Agreement. No assignment for which written consent has been received will be effective until the assignee agrees in a writing delivered to the non-assigning Party, in a form reasonably satisfactory to the non-assigning Party, to assume and fully perform the liabilities and obligations of the assigning Party under this Agreement.  In no event shall either Party assign this Agreement, except under the Consent to Collateral Assignment provided in Section 16.3, with less than fifteen (15) Days’ notice to the other Party.
		

		
			16.2This Agreement is binding upon and will inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective and permitted successors and assigns.
		

		
			16.3Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary set forth above or elsewhere in this Agreement, Buyer agrees Seller may collaterally assign to the Financing Parties all of its right, title and interest in, to and under this Agreement, including, without limitation, all of Seller’s rights to receive payment under or with respect to this Agreement and all payments due and to become due to it under or with respect to this Agreement, whether as contractual obligations, damages, indemnity payments or otherwise (collectively, the “Assigned Interests”). Buyer acknowledges the right of the Financing Parties in the exercise of its rights and remedies under the Financing Agreements, to make all demands, give all notices, take all actions and exercise all rights of the Seller under this Agreement.  No such assignment by Seller to a Financing Party shall release Seller from or diminish Seller’s liabilities and responsibilities under this Agreement, nor change or amend Buyer’s rights under this Agreement. Buyer agrees to sign a Consent to Collateral Assignment of such rights, benefits and interests of Seller with the Financing Parties in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Seller, the Financing Parties and Buyer. No assignment by Seller shall release Seller from or

		diminish its liabilities and responsibilities under this Agreement.  The Parties agree that should any of the provisions of this Article 16 conflict with or contradict any of the terms and provisions of any separate Consent to Collateral Assignment with the Financing Parties to which Buyer is a Party, the terms and provisions of the Consent to Collateral Assignment shall prevail.
		

		
			16.4Buyer agrees that, if the Financing Parties notify it that an Event of Default (as defined in the Financing Agreements) has occurred and is continuing and that the Financing Parties have elected to exercise the rights and remedies set forth in the Financing Agreements, then the Financing Parties or any other purchaser of the Assigned Interests in a judicial or non-judicial foreclosure sale (a “Substitute Seller”) shall be substituted for the Seller under this Agreement; provided, that in such event, the proposed Substitute Seller (other than the Financing Parties) shall (A) provide information sufficient for Buyer, in its commercially reasonable opinion, to determine that the proposed Substitute Seller is financially and technically (or has contracted with an operator who is technically) capable of assuming Seller’s obligations pursuant to this Agreement (for the avoidance of doubt, the Financing Parties shall be deemed capable), or the Financing Parties shall guaranty or otherwise provide security for such Substitute Seller’s liabilities and obligations pursuant to this Agreement, in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Buyer and (B) agree in a writing delivered to the Buyer, in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Buyer, to assume and fully perform the liabilities and obligations of the Seller under this Agreement, and thereafter the Buyer shall recognize such Substitute Seller in its capacity as such and shall continue to perform its obligations hereunder in favor of such Substitute Seller.
		

		
			16.5The Financing Parties may cure any breach or default by the Seller hereunder.  In the event of a default by Seller in the performance of any of its obligations hereunder, or upon the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event or condition hereunder that would immediately or with the passage of any applicable grace period or the giving of notice, or both, enable the Buyer to terminate this Agreement (in either case, a “default”), the Buyer will not terminate this Agreement until it first gives written notice of such default to the Financing Parties and affords the Financing Parties a period of at least 15 days from receipt of such notice to cure such default.
		

		
			16.6The Buyer acknowledges and agrees that no Financing Party shall have any liability or obligation hereunder, nor shall the Financing Parties be obligated or required to perform any of the Seller’s obligations hereunder except during any period in which any Financing Party is a Substitute Seller pursuant to Section 16.4, in which case the obligations of such Substitute Seller shall be no more than that of the Seller hereunder.
		

		
			16.7No assignment by Seller shall release Seller from or diminish its liabilities and responsibilities under this Agreement.

		17.GOVERNING LAW AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION
		

		
			17.1Governing Law.  This Agreement is governed by and construed and interpreted under and in accordance with the laws of the State of Alaska, without regard to its choice of law rules.  
		

		
			17.2Resolution of Disputes. The Parties shall exclusively and finally resolve any Dispute between them using direct negotiations and/or non-jury trials, all as set out in this Article 17.  A Party who violates this Article 17 shall pay all reasonable legal, expert and court fees and costs incurred by the other Party in any suit, action, or proceeding to enforce this Article 17.  While the procedures in this Article 17 are pending, each Party shall continue to perform its obligations under this Agreement, unless to do so would be impossible or impracticable under the circumstances.
		

		
			17.3Direct Negotiations.  If a Dispute arises, a Party shall initiate the resolution process by giving notice setting out in writing and in detail the issues in Dispute and the value of the Claim to the other Party. A meeting between the Parties, attended by individuals with decision-making authority, must take place within twenty (20) days from the date the notice was sent in an attempt to resolve the Dispute through direct negotiations. If a Party refuses to toll all applicable statutes of limitations and defenses based upon the passage of time while the proceedings in this Section 17.3 are pending, the other Party may file a court proceeding under Section 17.4 in an attempt to preserve its Claim and such proceeding shall be stayed so that the Parties may continue efforts to resolve this Dispute as set out in this Section 17.3. 
		

		
			17.4Trial.  If the Dispute is not resolved by agreement between the Parties through direct negotiations within thirty (30) days from the date of the notice requiring direct negotiations, then the Dispute will be resolved by the state or federal courts of Alaska in Anchorage, Alaska.  Each Party, to the extent permitted by law, knowingly, voluntarily, and intentionally waives its right to a trial by jury in any action or other legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the transactions it contemplates.  This waiver applies to any action or legal proceeding, whether sounding in contract, tort, or otherwise.  All reasonable attorneys’ and court fees and costs of both Parties shall be borne by the Party determined by the court to be at fault.
		

		
			17.5Enforcement.  Proceedings to enforce judgment entered on an award may be brought in any court having jurisdiction over the person or assets of the non-prevailing Party.  The prevailing Party may seek, in any court having jurisdiction, judicial recognition of the award, or order of enforcement or any other order or decree that is necessary to give full effect to the judgment or award.

		18.1This Agreement is made for the sole benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.  The Parties do not intend to create, and this Agreement will not be construed to create, by implication or otherwise, any rights in any other person or entity not a Party to this Agreement, and no such person or entity will have any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement, or any right to the exercise of any right or power hereunder or arising from any default hereunder.
		

		
			18.2This Agreement is the entire and complete agreement between the Parties regarding the sale of Gas as described herein.  Any prior agreements or understandings, oral or written, are superseded and replaced by this Agreement.  This Agreement may not be amended except in a writing duly executed by the Parties.

			18.4Each Party acknowledges and agrees that it has participated in the drafting of this Agreement and has had the opportunity to consult with legal counsel and any other advisors of its choice to its satisfaction regarding the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the results thereof.  As a result, the rule of construction that an agreement be construed against the drafter will not be asserted or applied to this Agreement.
		

		
			18.5The execution and performance of this Agreement is not intended by the Parties to create and will not be construed to create any partnership or business association between the Parties.
		

		
			18.6The headings in this Agreement are for the convenience of the reader only.  The headings are not part of this Agreement and do not purport to and will not be deemed to define, limit, or extend the scope or intent of the article or section to which they pertain.
		

		
			18.7Each Party represents and warrants to the other Party that it has the legal authority to enter into and perform this Agreement and each obligation assumed by such Party under this Agreement.
		

		
			18.8This Agreement may be executed by the Parties in any number of counterparts and on separate counterparts, including electronic transmittals and scanned signatures, each of which when so executed will be deemed an original, but all such counterparts, when taken together, will constitute but one and the same Agreement.  
		

		
			18.9No Party, nor any director, manager, employee, shareholder, member, or agent of a Party will give to or receive from any Party or any director, manager, employee, shareholder, member, or agent of the other Party any commission, fee, rebate, gift,
