 2.15 Amendment and Restatement of Section 4.17. Section 4.17 of the
Contribution Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows: 
 “4.17 Investment Representations. 

(a) GES is experienced in evaluating and investing in securities of companies in the development stage and acknowledges that it
can bear the economic risk of a complete loss of its investment, and has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the GES Closing Shares, GES Warrant
and underlying GES Warrant Shares. GES has not been formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the GES Closing Shares, GES Warrant or underlying GES Warrant Shares. GES is familiar with the business and financial condition and operations of the
Company and has had access to such information concerning the Company and the GES Closing Shares, GES Warrant and underlying GES Warrant Shares as it deems necessary to enable it to make an informed investment decision concerning the purchase or
acquisition of the GES Closing Shares, GES Warrant and underlying GES Warrant Shares. With the assistance of GES’s own 

  
 8 

 
professional advisors, to the extent that GES has deemed appropriate, GES has made its own legal, Tax, accounting and financial evaluation of the merits and risks of an investment in the GES
Closing Shares, GES Warrant and underlying GES Warrant Shares and the consequences of this Agreement. GES has considered the suitability of the GES Closing Shares, GES Warrant and underlying GES Warrant Shares as an investment in light of its own
circumstances and financial condition. 
 (b) GES is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Securities and
Exchange Commission Rule 501 of Regulation D, as presently in effect (“Reg D”), under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). GES agrees to furnish any additional information requested by
the Company or any of its representatives or Affiliates to assure compliance with applicable U.S. federal and state securities Laws in connection with the purchase and sale of the GES Closing Shares, GES Warrant and underlying GES Warrant Shares.

 (c) The GES Warrant, GES Closing Shares, and the GES Warrant Shares to be acquired by GES under this Agreement or upon the
exercise of the GES Warrant will be acquired for investment for GES’s own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof. GES has no present intention of selling, granting any
participation in, or otherwise transferring or distributing the GES Closing Shares, GES Warrant and underlying GES Warrant Shares. GES does not presently have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any Person to sell, transfer or
grant participation to such Person or to any third Person, with respect to any of the GES Closing Shares, GES Warrant and underlying GES Warrant Shares. 

(d) GES understands that no public market now exists for any of the securities issued by the Company, and that no public market
may ever exist for the GES Closing Shares, GES Warrant and underlying GES Warrant Shares. 
 (e) GES confirms that it is not
relying on any communication (written or oral) of the Company or any of its representatives or Affiliates, as investment advice or as a recommendation to purchase or acquire the GES Closing Shares, GES Warrant, or, upon exercise of the GES Warrant,
the underlying GES Warrant Shares. It is understood that information and explanations related to the terms and conditions of the GES Closing Shares, GES Warrant and underlying GES Warrant Shares provided by the Company or any of its representatives
or Affiliates shall not be considered investment advice or a recommendation to purchase or acquire the GES Closing Shares, GES Warrant or, upon exercise of the GES Warrant, the underlying GES Warrant Shares, and that neither the Company nor any of
its representatives or Affiliates is acting or has acted as an advisor to GES in deciding to invest in the GES Closing Shares, GES Warrant or, upon exercise of the GES Warrant, the underlying GES Warrant Shares. GES acknowledges that neither the
Company nor any of its representatives or Affiliates has made any representation regarding the proper characterization of the GES Closing Shares, GES Warrant and underlying GES Warrant Shares for purposes of determining GES’s authority to
invest in the GES Closing Shares, GES Warrant and underlying GES Warrant Shares. 

  
 9 

 (f) GES understands that the GES Closing Shares, GES Warrant and underlying GES
Warrant Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act or under any state securities Laws or blue sky Laws by reason of specific exemptions under the provisions thereof which depend in part upon the investment intent of GES and of the
other representations made by GES in this Agreement. GES understands that the Company is relying upon the representations and agreements contained in this Agreement (and any supplemental information) for the purpose of determining whether this
transaction meets the requirements for such exemptions. GES further understands that as such the GES Closing Shares, GES Warrant and underlying GES Warrant Shares are characterized as “restricted securities” under the Securities Act and
that under the Securities Act and applicable regulations, such GES Closing Shares, GES Warrant and underlying GES Warrant Shares may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances as provided by
applicable Law. In this connection, GES represents that it is familiar with Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Securities Act. Consequently, GES
understands that GES must bear the economic risks of the investment in the GES Closing Shares, GES Warrant and, upon exercise of the GES Warrant, the underlying GES Warrant Shares for an indefinite period of time. GES understands that no federal or
state agency or other Governmental Authority has passed upon the merits or risks of an investment in the GES Closing Shares, GES Warrant and underlying GES Warrant Shares or made any finding or determination concerning the fairness or advisability
of an investment in the GES Closing Shares, GES Warrant and underlying GES Warrant Shares. 
 (g) GES agrees: (A) that
it will not sell, assign, pledge, give, transfer or otherwise dispose of the GES Closing Shares, GES Warrant and underlying GES Warrant Shares or any interest therein, or make any offer or attempt to do any of the foregoing, except pursuant to a
registration of the GES Closing Shares, GES Warrant and underlying GES Warrant Shares under the Securities Act and all applicable state securities Laws, or in a transaction which is exempt from the registration provisions of the Securities Act and
all applicable state securities Laws; (B) that any certificates, book entry notations or document representing the GES Closing Shares, GES Warrant and underlying GES Warrant Shares may bear a legend making reference to the foregoing
restrictions; and (C) that the Company and its Affiliates shall not be required to give effect to any purported transfer of such GES Closing Shares, GES Warrant and underlying GES Warrant Shares except upon compliance with the foregoing
restrictions. 
 (h) GES acknowledges that neither the Company nor any other Person offered to sell the GES Closing Shares,
GES Warrant and underlying GES Warrant Shares to it by means of any form of general solicitation or advertising, including but not limited to: (A) any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine or
similar media or broadcast over television or radio or (B) any seminar or meeting whose attendees were invited by any general solicitation or general advertising. 

  
 10 

 (i) GES confirms that the Company has not (A) given any guarantee or
representation as to the potential success, return, effect or benefit (either legal, regulatory, Tax, financial, accounting or otherwise) of an investment in the GES Closing Shares, GES Warrant and, upon exercise of the GES Warrant, the underlying
GES Warrant Shares or (B) made any representation to GES regarding the legality of an investment in the GES Closing Shares, GES Warrant and, upon exercise of the GES Warrant, the underlying GES Warrant Shares under applicable legal investment
or similar Laws. In deciding to purchase the GES Closing Shares, GES Warrant and, upon exercise of the GES Warrant, the underlying GES Warrant Shares, GES is not relying on the advice or recommendations of the Company and GES has made its own
independent decision that the investment in the GES Closing Shares, GES Warrant and, upon exercise of the GES Warrant, the underlying GES Warrant Shares is suitable and appropriate for GES. 

(j) GES will comply with all applicable Laws in effect in any jurisdiction in which GES purchases, acquires or sells GES
Closing Shares, the GES Warrant and underlying GES Warrant Shares and obtain any consent, approval or permission required for such purchases, acquisitions or sales under the Laws of any jurisdiction to which GES is subject or in which GES makes such
purchases, acquisitions or sales, and the Company shall have no responsibility therefor. 
 (k) There is no suit, action or
legal, administrative or arbitration proceeding (including any citations, complaints, consent orders, compliance schedules or other similar enforcement orders), claim or action or any governmental investigation pending against GES or, to the
Knowledge of GES, threatened against GES that questions or challenges GES’s participation, or right to participate in, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.” 

2.16 Amendment to Section 4.22. The last sentence of Section 4.22 of the Contribution Agreement is hereby amended and
restated in its entirety as follows: 
 “As used in this Agreement, “Affiliate” means (i) with respect to GES,
SWOP or WSS, the GES Parent and its subsidiaries, including SWOP, GES and WSS, as applicable, any direct or indirect equity owner of any such entities, any affiliate or family member of any such equity owner, or any officer, director, manager or
employee of any such equity owners, and any employees, officers, managers or directors of such entities (other than managers or directors representing direct or indirect investors in such entities) and (ii) with respect to RAC, any direct or
indirect equity owner of RAC, any affiliate or family member of any such equity owner, or any officer, director, manager or employee of any such equity owners, and any employees, officers, managers or directors of RAC (other than managers or
directors representing direct or indirect investors in RAC).” 
 2.17 Amendment and Restatement of Section 5.9(f).
Section 5.9(f) of the Contribution Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows: 
 “(f) RAC
understands that the RAC Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act or under any state securities Laws or blue sky Laws by reason of specific exemptions under the provisions thereof which depend in part upon the investment intent

  
 11 

 
of RAC and of the other representations made by RAC in this Agreement. RAC understands that the Company is relying upon the representations and agreements contained in this Agreement (and any
supplemental information) for the purpose of determining whether this transaction meets the requirements for such exemptions. RAC further understands that as such the RAC Shares are characterized as “restricted securities” under the
Securities Act and that under the Securities Act and applicable regulations, such Shares may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances as provided by applicable Law. In this connection, RAC
represents that it is familiar with Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Securities Act. Consequently, RAC understands that RAC must bear the
economic risks of the investment in the RAC Shares for an indefinite period of time. RAC understands that no federal or state agency or other Governmental Authority has passed upon the merits or risks of an investment in the RAC Shares or made any
finding or determination concerning the fairness or advisability of an investment in the RAC Shares.” 
 2.18 Amendment and
Restatement of Sections 5.9(i) and 5.9(j). Sections 5.9(i) and 5.9(j) are hereby amended and restated in their entirety as follows: 

“(i) RAC confirms that the Company has not (A) given any guarantee or representation as to the potential success,
return, effect or benefit (either legal, regulatory, Tax, financial, accounting or otherwise) of an investment in the RAC Shares or (B) made any representation to RAC regarding the legality of an investment in the RAC Shares under applicable
legal investment or similar Laws. In deciding to purchase the RAC Shares, RAC is not relying on the advice or recommendations of the Company and RAC has made its own independent decision that the investment in the RAC Shares is suitable and
appropriate for RAC. 
 (j) RAC will comply with all applicable Laws in effect in any jurisdiction in which RAC purchases,

 ARTICLE III 
 Anti-Dilution Provisions 

3.1 Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Warrant Shares. The Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time
as hereinafter provided in this Article III. Upon each adjustment of the Exercise Price, except pursuant to Sections 3.l(a)(iii), (iv) and (v), the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to purchase, at the Exercise Price resulting from
such adjustment, the number of shares of the Common Stock (calculated to the nearest whole share) obtained by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of shares of the Common Stock purchasable
pursuant hereto immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the product thereof by the Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment. 
 (a) Exercise Price Adjustments. The Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows: 

(i) Adjustment for Stock Splits and Combinations. If the Company shall at any time or from time to time after the
date hereof (the “Original Issue Date”) effect a subdivision of the outstanding Common Stock, the Exercise Price in effect immediately before such subdivision shall be proportionately decreased. Conversely, if the Company shall at
any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately before such combination shall be proportionately increased. Any
adjustment under this Section 3.l(a)(i) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective. 

(ii) Adjustment for Common Stock Dividends and Distributions. If the Company at any time or from time to time after
the Original Issue Date makes, or fixes a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in additional shares of Common Stock, in each such event the Exercise Price that is
then in effect shall be decreased as of the time of such issuance or, in the event such record date is fixed, as of the close of business on such 

  
 4 

 
record date, by multiplying the Exercise Price then in effect by a fraction (i) the numerator of which is the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior
to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date, and (ii) the denominator of which is the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of
business on such record date plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution; provided, however, that if such record date is fixed and such dividend is not fully paid or if such distribution is not
fully made on the date fixed therefor, the Exercise Price shall be recomputed accordingly as of the close of business on such record date, and thereafter the Exercise Price shall be adjusted pursuant to this Section 3.l(a)(ii), to
reflect the actual payment of such dividend or distribution. 
 (iii) Adjustment for Reclassification,
Exchange and Substitution. If at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date, the Common Stock is changed into the same or a different number of shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by recapitalization,
reclassification or otherwise (other than an Acquisition, Asset Transfer, subdivision or combination of shares, stock dividend, reorganization, merger, consolidation, or sale of assets provided for elsewhere in this Section 3.1(a)), in
any such event the Holder shall have the right thereafter to convert such stock into the kind and amount of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such recapitalization, reclassification or other change by holders of the maximum
number of shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Common Stock could have been converted immediately prior to such recapitalization, reclassification or change, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein or with respect to such
other securities or property by the terms thereof. 
 (iv) Reorganizations, Mergers, Consolidations or Sales
of Assets. If at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date, there is a capital reorganization of the Common Stock (other than a recapitalization or subdivision, combination, reclassification, exchange, or substitution of shares
provided for elsewhere in this Section 3.l(a)), as a part of such capital reorganization, provision shall be made so that the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon exercise hereof the number of shares of stock or other
securities or property of the Company to which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon exercise immediately prior to such event would have been entitled as a result of such capital reorganization, subject to adjustment in
respect of such stock or securities by the terms thereof. In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Section 3.1(a) with respect to the rights of the Holder after the capital
reorganization to the end that the provisions of this Section 3.l(a) (including adjustment of the Exercise Price then in effect and the number of shares issuable upon exercise) shall be applicable after that event and be as nearly
equivalent as practicable. 
 (v) Issuances of Shares for Price Below the Exercise Price. In the event the
Company shall after the date hereof issue any shares of Common Stock, other than 

  
 5 

 
Excluded Stock, without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the Exercise Price existing at the time of such issuance, the Exercise Price, as in effect immediately prior to
each such issuances, shall forthwith be lowered to a price equal to the quotient obtained by dividing: 
 A. an
amount equal to the sum of (x) the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on a fully diluted basis (but excluding any securities convertible into Common Stock and any rights, options or warrants to subscribe for, purchase or
otherwise acquire Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock, in each case bearing a conversion price or exercise price per share which is greater than the consideration per share for which such Common Stock is issued) immediately
prior to such issuance, multiplied by the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance and (y) the consideration received by the Company upon such issuance; by 

B. the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on a fully diluted basis (but excluding any securities
convertible into Common Stock and any rights, options or warrants to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock, in each case bearing a conversion price or exercise price per share which is
greater than the consideration per share for which such Common Stock is issued) immediately after such issuance. 
 For
the purposes of any adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to this paragraph (iv), in the case of the issuance of Common Stock for cash in a public offering or private placement, the consideration shall be deemed to be the amount of cash paid
therefor after deducting therefrom any discounts, commissions or placement fees paid by the Company to any underwriter or placement agent in connection with the issuance or sale therefor. In the case of the issuance of Common Stock for consideration
in whole or in part other than for cash, the consideration other than cash shall be deemed to be the fair value per share thereof as determined in good faith by the Board, irrespective of any accounting treatment. 

(v) Rounding of Calculations; Minimum Adjustment. All calculations under this Section 3.1(a) and under
the definition of Current Market Price shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest whole share, as the case may be. .Any provision of this Section 3.1 to the contrary notwithstanding, no adjustment in the Exercise Price shall be
made if the amount of such adjustment would be less than one percent, but any such amount shall be carried forward and an adjustment with respect thereto shall be made at the time of and together with any subsequent adjustment which, together with
such amount and any other amount or amounts so carried forward, shall aggregate one percent or more. 

  
 6 

 (b) Statement Regarding Adjustments. Whenever the Exercise Price shall be adjusted as
provided in Section 3.1(a), and upon each change in the number of shares of the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall forthwith file, at the office of any transfer agent for this Warrant and at the
principal office of the Company, a statement showing in detail the facts requiring such adjustment and the Exercise Price and new number of shares issuable that shall be in effect after such adjustment, and the Company shall also cause a copy of
such statement to be given to the Holder. Each such statement shall be signed by the Company’s chief financial or accounting officer. Where appropriate, such copy may be given in advance and may be included as part of a notice required to be
mailed under the provisions of Section 3.l(d). 
 (d) Notice to Holders. In the event the Company shall
propose to take any action of the type described in clause (i) through (v) of Section 3.l(a), the Company shall give notice to the Holder, in the manner set forth in Section 6.6, which notice shall specify the
record date, if any, with respect to any such action and the approximate date on which such action is to take place. Such notice shall also set forth such facts with respect thereto as shall be reasonably necessary to indicate the effect of such
action (to the extent such effect may be known at the date of such notice) on the Exercise Price and the number, kind or class of shares or other securities or property which shall be deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant. In the case of any
action which would require the fixing of a record date, such notice shall be given at least ten days prior to the date so fixed, and in case of all other action, such notice shall be given at least 15 days prior to the taking of such proposed
action. Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of any such action. 
 (e)
Treasury Stock. For the purposes of this Section 3.1, the sale or other disposition of any Common Stock of the Company theretofore held in its treasury shall be deemed to be an issuance thereof. 

3.2 Costs. The Holder shall pay all documentary, stamp, transfer or other transactional taxes attributable to the issuance or
delivery of shares of Common Stock of the Company upon exercise of this Warrant. Additionally, the Company shall not be required to pay any taxes which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance or delivery of any certificate
for such shares. The Holder shall reimburse the Company for any such taxes assessed against the Company. 
 3.3 Reservations
of Shares. The Company shall reserve at all times so long as this Warrant remains outstanding, free from preemptive rights, out of its treasury Common Stock or its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, or both, solely for the purpose
of effecting the exercise of this Warrant, sufficient shares of Common Stock to provide for the exercise hereof. 
 3.4 Valid
Issuance. All shares of Common Stock which may be issued upon exercise of this Warrant will, upon issuance by the Company, be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the
issuance thereof attributable to any act or omission by the Company, and the Company shall take no action which will cause a contrary result (including, without limitation, any action which would cause the Exercise Price to be less than the par
value, if any, of the Common Stock).

                 shares of the Common Stock covered by said Warrant and herewith makes payment in full therefor pursuant to Section 1.1 of such Warrant, and
requests (a) that certificates for such shares (and any securities or other property issuable upon such exercise) be issued in the name of, and delivered to, and (b) if such shares shall not include all of the shares issuable as provided
in said Warrant, that a new Warrant of like tenor and date for the balance of the shares issuable thereunder be delivered to the undersigned. 
 The undersigned represents that (1) unless being exercised in connection with the sale of Common Stock pursuant to a public offering under the Securities Act or other offering exempt from
registration under the Securities Act and applicable state law, the aforesaid shares of Common Stock are being acquired for the account of the undersigned for investment not with view to, or for resale in connection with, the distribution thereof

Securities Act or other offering exempt from registration under the Securities Act and applicable state law, the undersigned understands that the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant have not been registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the
investment intent as expressed herein, and, because such securities have not been registered under the Securities Act, they must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is
available; (5) the undersigned is aware that the aforesaid shares of Comman Stock may not be sold pursuant to Rule 144 adopted under the Securities Act unless certain conditions are met and until the undersigned has held the shares for the

so; and (6) the undersigned agrees not to make any disposition of all or any part of the aforesaid shares of Comman Stock unless and until there is then in effect a registration statement

under the Securities Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in accordance with said registration statement, or the undersigned has provided the Company with an
opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company, stating that such registration is not required.

Date”), by and between INDEPENDENCE CONTRACT DRILLING, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) and GLOBAL ENERGY SERVICES OPERATING, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“GES”). The
Company and GES may hereinafter be referred to together as the “Parties” and individually as a “Party”. 
 RECITALS: 
 WHEREAS, The Company and GES, among others, have entered
that certain Asset Contribution and Share Subscription Agreement (as amended, the “Contribution Agreement”) dated as of November 23, 2011 providing for GES to contribute the GES Contributed Assets (all capitalized terms used
herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meaning set forth in the Contribution Agreement); and 
 WHEREAS, during the
Transition Period (as defined herein), GES will require the use of a portion of the Real Estate, certain services provided by the Company while it establishes operations at a new location, and access to the Company’s information technology
system (“IT System”) to extract information that is unrelated to the post-Closing operations of the Company; and 
 WHEREAS, during the Transition Period, the Company will require certain services provided by GES; and 
 WHEREAS, the Company is willing to provide GES (i) access to and use of a portion of the Real Estate and (ii) those certain services contemplated by this Agreement during the Transition Period;
and 
 WHEREAS, GES is willing to provide the Company with those certain services contemplated by this Agreement during the
Transition Period; 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein,
and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereby agree as follows: 
 1. Term. The initial term of this Agreement shall commence on the Closing Date and shall continue for a period ending on the last day of the six (6) month period commencing on the Closing Date
(the “Transition Period”), subject, however, to earlier termination in accordance with the provisions contained herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Transition Period will automatically be extended for successive thirty
(30) day periods thereafter, unless either party provides written notice of its intent to terminate this Agreement to the other party not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the expiration of the applicable period (a “Termination
Notice”), in which case this Agreement shall terminate upon the expiration of such applicable period. 

 2. Use of the Real Estate. Contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement,
the Company and GES shall enter into the Lease Agreement. Subject to the terms of the Lease Agreement, the use and occupancy of the Real Estate by GES will not unreasonably interfere with or prevent the use and occupancy of the Real Estate by the
Company for the purposes and in the manner that the Real Estate was previously used and occupied by GES in connection with the operation of the Business. 
 3. Shared Services. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Company and GES shall share certain services during the Transition Period, as further listed on Exhibit A
attached hereto (the “Shared Services”). From time to time, the Parties may mutually agree to include additional services to be shared upon mutually agreeable terms and conditions, and may amend Exhibit A accordingly.

 4. Transition Services Provided by the Company. During the Transition Period, the Company shall provide GES with
certain services as follows: 
 4.1 Company Transition Services. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein,
the Company shall provide those certain Shared Services required to support the business of GES and its affiliate, Southwest Oilfield Products, Inc. (collectively, the “GES Post-Closing

Company Transition Services to ensure uninterrupted continuity of the GES Post-Closing Business. Except as specifically set forth herein or as otherwise set forth in the Contribution Agreement, the Company shall have no responsibility or liability
for the operation of the GES Post-Closing Business.

herein, the Company shall provide the Company Transition Services, to the extent practicable, in the same manner in which such services were provided by GES to the GES Post-Closing Business prior to the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing,

owned by GES that is unrelated to the post-Closing operations of the Company is stored on the Company’s IT System, which is being transferred to the Company in connection with the transactions

technology system of GES and (iii) permit the GES Post-Closing Business to be

conducted consistent with past practice in the ordinary course of business prior to the Closing Date. Nevertheless, each of GES and the Company agree that the Company’s IT System may contain

foregoing concerns or issues. The Company reserves the right to have representatives physically present to monitor and supervise any access to the Company’s IT System. GES agrees to promptly, but in no event later than thirty (30) days
after its receipt of a written invoice from the Company, reimburse Company for any out of pocket costs associated with the these efforts.

Warranty Claim Services within thirty (30) days of its receipt of a written invoice from the Company for such costs and expenses, subject to Section 6.3.

Company’s obligation to provide Company Transition Services, the Warranty Claim Services or any obligations of the Company with respect to GES IT, in each case in accordance with this Section 4, shall be for the Company to perform

the Company in its efforts to transfer such contracts and agreements to the Company (the “Contract Management Services”). Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Company shall reimburse GES for any and all costs
and expenses incurred by GES in connection with such Contract Management Services within thirty (30) days of its receipt of a written invoice from GES for such costs and expenses, subject to Section 6.3.

of its business, to the Remaining GES Inventory as reasonably requested by GES. The Company shall have no liability or responsibility with respect to maintaining the Remaining GES Inventory or any loss, damage or destruction suffered by the

	2.	Demand Registration Rights; Piggyback Rights 

  

	 	(a)	Demand Registration Rights. 

 (i) At any time during the Initial Demand Period, Holders who hold in the aggregate fifty percent (50%) or more of the then outstanding Registrable Shares may on one occasion make a written request
to the Company (a “Demand Request”) for registration under the Securities Act (a “Demand Registration”) of Registrable Shares held by such Holders. At any time during the Later Demand Period, Holders who hold in the
aggregate twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the then outstanding Registrable Shares may on one occasion make a Demand Request for Demand Registration of Registrable Shares held by such Holders. In addition to the Demand Requests provided in
the preceding sentences, at any time after the expiration of any lock-up period applicable to such Holder, (A) RAC or one or more of its distributees or transferees may on up to two occasions, (B) GES or one or more of its distributees or
transferees may on one occasion, and (C) Sprott or one or more of its distributees or transferees may on one occasion after the first anniversary of the date of this Agreement make a Demand Request for a Demand Registration of Registrable
Shares held by such Holder, and as long as such Holder beneficially owns 5% or more of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock, RAC, GES or Sprott shall be entitled to make such Demand Request whether or not the shares of Common Stock covered by
such Demand Request are then Registrable Shares or are freely saleable by the Holder without any restrictions pursuant to Rule 144. 
 (ii) The Company may defer the filing (but not the preparation) of a registration statement required by this Section 2(a) until a date not later than sixty (60) days after the Required Filing
Date (as defined below) if (A) at the time the Company receives the Demand Request, the Company or its Subsidiaries are engaged in confidential negotiations, other confidential business activities or is otherwise in possession of material non-public
information, disclosure of which would be required in such registration statement (but would not be required if such registration statement were not filed), and the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board of Directors”)
determines in good faith that such disclosure would be materially detrimental to the Company and its stockholders, (B) an investment banking firm advises the Company that effecting such registration would materially and adversely affect an
offering of securities of the Company, or (C) prior to receiving the Demand Request, the Board of Directors 

  
 6 

 
had determined to effect a registered underwritten public offering of the Company’s equity securities for the Company’s account and the Company had taken substantial steps (including,
but not limited to, selecting (subject to the terms of this Agreement) and entering into a letter of intent with the managing underwriter for such offering) and is proceeding with reasonable diligence to effect such offering. A deferral of the
filing of a registration statement pursuant to this subsection (ii) shall be lifted, and the requested registration statement shall be filed forthwith, if: in the case of a deferral pursuant to clause (A) of the preceding sentence, the
negotiations or other activities are disclosed or terminated; in the case of a deferral pursuant to clause (B) of the preceding sentence, such investment banking firm advises the Company that effecting such registration would no longer
materially and adversely affect an offering of securities of the Company; or, in the case of a deferral pursuant to clause (C) of the preceding sentence, the proposed registration for the Company’s account is abandoned. In order to defer
the filing of a registration statement pursuant to this subsection (ii), the Company shall promptly, upon determining to seek such deferral, deliver to a requesting holder a certificate signed by the President or CEO of the Company stating that the
Company is deferring such filing pursuant to this subsection (ii) and the basis therefor. Within ten days after receiving such certificate, the requesting holder for which registration was previously requested may withdraw such request by
giving notice to the Company; if withdrawn, the Demand Request shall be deemed not to have been made for all purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may not defer the filing a registration statement pursuant to this
subsection (ii) for more than sixty (60) days in any twelve (12) month period. 
 (iii) Each
Demand Request shall specify the number of Registrable Shares proposed to be sold by the Holders making the Demand Request. Upon receipt of such Demand Request, the Company shall promptly (but in no event later than ten days following receipt
thereof) deliver notice of such Demand Request to all other holders of Registrable Shares. Subject to subsection (ii) of this Section 2(a), the Company shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to file the Demand Registration within
ninety (90) days after receiving a Demand Request (the “Required Filing Date”) covering all outstanding Registrable Shares for which the Company has received the information required under Section 2(g) and shall use all
commercially reasonable efforts to cause the same to be declared effective by the Commission as promptly as practicable after such filing. The Company shall pay its fees, costs and expenses, including cost of registration, consents, “comfort
letter” and any company counsel opinions, related to any Demand Registration, and the Holders shall pay pro rata selling stockholder legal expenses, blue sky expenses and commissions or spread on Holder shares. 

(iv) If RAC, GES or Sprott (or their respective distributees) elect to distribute the Registrable Shares covered by their
Demand Request in an Underwritten Offering, they shall so advise the Company as a part of their Demand Request made pursuant to Section 2(a)(i), and the Company shall include such information in its notice to the other Holders of Registrable
Shares. The Holders of a majority of the Registrable Shares initially requesting the Demand Registration shall select the investment banking firm or firms to act as the managing underwriter or underwriters in connection with such offering;
provided, however, that such selection shall be subject to the consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. 

  
 7 

 (b) Notice; Piggyback Registration. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, if
the Company proposes to file a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to an offering of any equity securities by the Company for its own account or for the account of any of its equity holders, (other than a registration
statement on Form S-4 or Form S-8 (or such corresponding forms adopted by the Commission for use by foreign issuers), or any substitute form that may be adopted by the Commission, or any registration statement filed in connection with an exchange
offer or offering of securities solely to the Company’s existing security holders), then the Company shall give written notice of such proposed filing to the Holders as soon as practicable (but in no event less than thirty (30) days before
the anticipated effective date of such registration statement), and such notice shall offer each such Holder the opportunity to register the Registrable Shares held by each such Holder (a “Piggyback Registration”). Subject to the
limitations in Sections 2(c) and 2(f) hereof, the Company shall include in each such Piggyback Registration all Registrable Shares requested to be included in the registration for such offering. Each such Holder of Registrable Shares shall be
permitted to withdraw all or part of such Holder’s Registrable Shares from a Piggyback Registration at any time prior to the effective date thereof. 
 By electing to include the Registrable Shares in any IPO Registration Statement, the Holder of such Registrable Shares shall be deemed to have agreed not to effect any public sale or distribution of other
securities of the Company of the same or similar class or classes of the securities included in the IPO Registration Statement or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such securities, including a sale pursuant to Rule
144 or Rule 144A under the Securities Act, during such periods as reasonably requested (but in no event for a period longer than thirty (30) days prior to and one hundred eighty (180) days following the effective date of the IPO
Registration Statement) by the representatives of the underwriters, if an Underwritten Offering, or by the Company in any other registration, provided, however, that (a) each Holder shall be allowed a proportionate release from the
foregoing restriction granted to any other Holder, director or executive officer, as applicable (with such proportion being determined by dividing the number of shares being released with respect to such Holder, director or executive officer, as
applicable by the total number of issued and outstanding shares held by such Holder, director or executive officer, as applicable), (b) such restrictions shall not apply to any shares of Common Stock of the Company bought in the open market
following the effective date of the IPO Registration Statement and (c) it shall be a condition to any Holder’s agreement to be bound by the restrictions set forth above that all the executive officers and directors of the Company then
holding shares of Common Stock of the Company or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of Common Stock of the Company enter into agreements that are no less restrictive. 

(c) Obligations of the Company. Whenever required under this Section 2 to effect the registration of any Registrable Shares,
the Company shall, as expeditiously as reasonably possible: 
 (i) Prepare and file with the Commission a
registration statement with respect to such Registrable Shares and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such 

  
 8 

 
registration statement to be declared effective, and keep such registration statement effective for at least ninety (90) days; provided, however, that if Holders of Registrable Shares
exercising a Demand Registration request that such registration statement be filed on Form S-3 under Rule 415 on a continuous basis and such filing is permitted under applicable Commission rules, the Company shall keep such registration statement
effective until all such Registrable Shares are sold thereunder and/or cease to be Registrable Shares, or for two years if earlier. 
 (ii) Prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection with such registration statement as may be necessary to
comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement for at least ninety (90) days, or such longer period in connection with a Rule 415 offering described in
Section 2(c)(i) above. 
 (iii) Furnish to the participating Holders such numbers of copies of a prospectus,
including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as they may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of Registrable Shares owned by them. 

(iv) Use its reasonable efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by such registration statement under such
other securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as shall be reasonably requested by the participating Holders, provided that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto
to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of process in any such states or jurisdictions. 
 (v) In the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, with the managing underwriter of such offering.

 (vi) Notify each Holder covered by such registration statement at any time when a prospectus relating thereto
is required to be delivered under the Securities Act of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing, such obligation to continue for at least ninety (90) days, or such longer period in
connection with a Rule 415 offering described in Section 2(c)(i) above. 
 (vii) Use its reasonable efforts
to cause all such Registrable Shares registered pursuant hereunder to be listed on each securities exchange on which the Common Stock is then listed. 
 (viii) Provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Shares registered pursuant hereto and a CUSIP number for all such Registrable Shares, in each case not later than the effective date of
such registration. 

  
 9 

 (ix) Use its reasonable efforts to furnish, at the request of any Holder
requesting registration of Registrable Shares pursuant to this Article 2, on the date that such Registrable Shares are delivered to the underwriters for sale in connection with a registration pursuant to this Article 2, if such securities are being
sold through underwriters, or, if such securities are not being sold through underwriters, on the date that the registration statement with respect to such securities becomes effective, (A) an opinion, dated such date, of the counsel
representing the Company for the purposes of such registration, in form and substance as is customarily given to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and (B) a letter dated such date, from the
independent registered public accounting firm of the Company, in form and substance as is customarily given by independent registered public accounting firms to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the underwriters, if any.

 (d) Limitations on Subsequent Registration Rights. From and after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall not
enter into any agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Company which would grant such holder or prospective holder registration rights that are more favorable than the registration rights of the Holders. 

(e) Selection of Underwriters. In connection with a Demand Registration that will be an Underwritten Offering, the Holders shall
have the right to designate the managing underwriter in accordance with Section 2(a)(iv). The Board of Directors shall have the right to designate, in their sole and absolute discretion, the managing underwriter with respect to any Piggyback
Registration and shall select such additional underwriters to be used in connection with the offering, if any. In the event of any Demand Registration or Piggyback Registration, the managing underwriter, the Company and the selling Holders will
enter into an agreement appropriate to the circumstances, containing provisions for, among other things, compensation, indemnification, contribution, and representations and warranties, which are usual and customary for similar agreements entered
into by the managing underwriter or other investment bankers of national standing acting in similar transactions. 
 (f)
Underwriters’ Cut-Backs. 
 (i) The Company shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to cause
the managing underwriter of a proposed Underwritten Offering (including an offering pursuant to a Demand Registration), as the case may be, to permit the Registrable Shares requested to be included in the registration statement for such offering
under Section 2(b) or pursuant to other piggyback registration rights, if any, granted by the Company (“Piggyback Securities”) to be included on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities included therein.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to include any Holder’s Piggyback Securities in such offering unless such Holder accepts the terms of the underwriting agreement between the Company and the managing underwriter
or underwriters, and otherwise complies with the provisions of Section 2(i) below. If the managing underwriter or underwriters of a proposed Underwritten Offering advise the Company in writing that in its or their opinion the total amount of
securities, including Piggyback Securities, to be included in such offering is sufficiently large to potentially impede or interfere with the offering, then in such event 

  
 10 

 
the securities to be included in such offering shall be allocated first to the Company and then, to the extent that any additional securities can, in the opinion of such managing underwriter or
underwriters, be sold without any such potential to impede or interfere with the offering, pro rata among the Holders of Registrable Shares on the basis of the number of Registrable Shares requested to be included in such registration by each such
Holder. 
 (ii) If a Demand Registration involves an Underwritten Offering and the managing underwriter of the
requested Demand Registration advises the Company and the holders of Registrable Shares in writing that in its opinion the number of shares of Common Stock proposed to be included in the Demand Registration, including all Registrable Shares and all
other shares of Common Stock proposed to be included in such Underwritten Offering, exceeds the number of shares of Common Stock which can be sold in such Underwritten Offering and/or the number of shares of Common Stock proposed to be included in
such registration would adversely affect the price per share of the Registrable Shares proposed to be sold in such Underwritten Offering, the Company shall include in such Demand Registration (A) first, the number of Registrable Shares that the
Holders of Registrable Shares propose to sell, and (B) second, the number of shares of Common Stock proposed to be included therein by any other Persons (including shares of Common Stock to be sold for the account of the Company and/or other
holders of Common Stock) allocated among such Persons pro rata or in such manner as they may agree. If the managing underwriter determines that less than all of the Registrable Shares proposed to be sold can be included in such offering, then
the Registrable Shares that are included in such offering shall be allocated pro rata among the respective Holders thereof on the basis of the number of Registrable Shares owned by each such Holder. 

(g) Participation. No Holder may participate in any underwritten registration under this Article 2 unless such Holder
(A) agrees to sell such Holder’s Registrable Shares on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Person entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements, (B) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers
of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements and this Agreement and (C) if requested by another Person participating in such underwritten
registration, agrees that all securities convertible or exchangeable into shares of Common Stock that are included in such underwritten registration shall be so converted or exchanged on or prior to the consummation thereof. 

(h) Termination or Postponement by the Company. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary except in the case of a Demand
Registration, at any time prior to the effectiveness of any registration statement filed pursuant hereto, the Company shall have the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, not to proceed with the registration of any securities pursuant to such
registration statement and, in the event that the Company exercises such right, no Holder of Registrable Shares shall have any right to require the Company to register any such Registrable Shares except in accordance with the express provisions of
this Agreement. In the case of a registration statement filed pursuant Section 2(a), at any time after the filing of such registration statement but prior to the effectiveness thereof, the Company shall have the right to postpone requesting
that the Commission declare such registration statement effective: 
 (i) for the contractual lock-up period
relating to any underwritten public offering of Company securities or any private placement of Company securities made pursuant to Rule 144A; and 

  
 11 

 (ii) for a period of up to sixty (60) days in any twelve
(12) month period if the Company is engaged in confidential negotiations, other confidential business activities or is otherwise in possession of material non-public information, disclosure of which would be required in such registration
statement (but would not be required if such registration were not filed), and the Board of Directors determines in good faith that such disclosure would be materially detrimental to the Company and its stockholders; 

provided, however, that the Company may not postpone requesting the effectiveness of a registration statement filed pursuant to
Section 2(a) pursuant to this Section 2{h) more than once every twelve (12) months. The Company may only terminate a Demand Registration and withdraw a registration statement filed pursuant to Section 2(a) with the consent of the
Holder submitting the Demand Request relating thereto or upon receipt of a request for such withdrawal from the Commission. 

(i) Lock-Up Letters. Each Holder of Registrable Shares (whether or not such Registrable Shares are included in a registration
statement pursuant hereto) agrees to execute a written agreement not to effect any public sale or distribution of the issue being registered or of any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such securities, including a sale
pursuant to Rule 144, during the ten (10) days prior to, and during the sixty (60) day period (or shorter period permitted by the managing underwriter, if applicable) beginning on, the effective date of a registration statement filed
pursuant hereto except as part of such registration if and to the extent requested by the Company, in the case of a non-underwritten public offering, or if and to the extent requested by the managing underwriter or underwriters, as the case may be,
in the case of an underwritten public offering. 
 (j) Issuer Free Writing Prospectus. The Company represents and agrees
that, unless it obtains the prior consent of Holders of a majority of the Registrable Shares that are registered under a Registration Statement at such time or the consent of the managing underwriter in connection with any Underwritten Offering of
Registrable Shares, and each Holder represents and agrees that, unless it obtains the prior consent of the Company and any such underwriter, it will not make any offer relating to the Registrable Shares that would constitute an “issuer free
writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 433 (an “Issuer Free Writing Prospectus”), or that would otherwise constitute a “free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 405, required to be filed with the Commission.

  

	3.	Special Election Meeting. 

(a) Special Election Meeting. If a Registration Statement registering the resale of Registrable Shares has not been declared
effective by the Commission, and the Registrable Shares have not been listed for trading on a national securities exchange, on or before 270 days after (i) the end of the Initial Demand Period if a Demand Request was made in accordance with
Section 2(a) during the Initial Demand Period or (ii) the date the Company receives any Demand Request made in accordance with Section 2(a) during the Later Demand Period (such date, as applicable, the “Trigger
Date”), a special meeting of stockholders (the “Special Election 

  
 12 

 
Meeting”) shall be called in accordance with the Bylaws of the Company. The Special Election Meeting shall occur as soon as possible following the Trigger Date but in no event more
than sixty (60) days after the Trigger Date. 
 (b) Purposes of Meeting. The Special Election Meeting called in
accordance with the Bylaws of the Company shall be called solely for the purposes of: (i) voting upon proposals to remove each then-serving director of the Company; and (ii) electing such number of directors as there are then vacancies on
the Board of Directors (including any vacancies created by the removal of any director pursuant to this Section 3(b)). The removal of any director pursuant to Section 3(b)(i) hereof shall require the affirmative vote of holders of a
majority of all outstanding Registrable Shares, provided, however, that Registrable Shares that are owned, directly or indirectly, by an “executive officer” (as defined in Rule 405) of the Company shall not be deemed to be
outstanding, and, if such affirmative vote is obtained, shall be effective immediately upon the receipt of the final report of the Inspector of Elections for the Special Election Meeting that reports the receipt of the requisite vote to approve the
proposal to remove such director. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3(b), the Special Election Meeting need not be called or held if the Holders of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the outstanding Registrable Shares
waive (at a duly called meeting of stockholders or by written consent) such requirement; provided however, that Registrable Shares that are owned, directly or indirectly, by an “executive officer” (as defined in Rule 405 of the
Securities Act) of the Company shall not be deemed to be outstanding for this purpose. 
 (c) Proxy. To secure the
obligations of each Contribution Purchaser to vote the Common Stock owned by them at the Special Election Meeting, each Contribution Purchaser hereby appoints the Secretary of the Company, or his or her designees, as such Contribution
Purchaser’s true and lawful proxy and attorney, with the power to act alone and with full power of substitution, to vote all of such Contribution Purchaser’s Common Stock at the Special Election Meeting and to execute all appropriate
instruments consistent with this Agreement on behalf of such Contribution Purchaser if, and only if, such Contribution Purchaser fails to vote such Contribution Purchaser’s Common Stock or fails to execute such other instruments in accordance
with the provisions of this Agreement within five (5) days of the Company’s or any other party’s written request for such Contribution Purchaser’s written consent or signature. The proxy and power granted by each Contribution
Purchaser pursuant to this Section 3(c) are coupled with an interest and are given to secure the performance of such party’s duties under this Agreement. Each such proxy and power will be irrevocable for the term hereof. The proxy and
power, so long as any party hereto is an individual, will survive the death, incompetency and disability of such party or any other individual holder of the Contribution Purchaser’s Common Stock and, so long as any party hereto is an entity,
will survive the merger or reorganization of such party or any other entity holding any Common Stock previously held by a Contribution Purchaser. Such proxy shall terminate as to a Contribution Purchaser without any further action upon the earlier
of (i) the final report of the vote of the Inspector of Elections with respect to the Special Election Meeting or the waiver described in Section 3(b) hereof or (ii) the effective date of the Registration Statement registering the
resale of the Registrable Shares. 
 (d) Nominations. Nominations of individuals for election to the Board of Directors
at the Special Election Meeting may only be made (i) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or (ii) upon receipt by the Company of written notice of Holders entitled to cast, or

  
 13 

 
direct the casting of, not less than twenty percent (20%) of all the votes entitled to be cast at the Special Election Meeting and containing the information specified by Section 3(e)
hereof. Each individual whose nomination is made in accordance with this Section 3(d) is hereinafter referred to as a “Nominee.” 
 (e) Procedure for Stockholder Nominations. For nominations of individuals for election to the Board of Directors to be properly brought before the Special Election Meeting by Holders pursuant to
Section 3(b) hereof, the Holders must have given notice thereof in writing to the Secretary of the Company not later than 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on the tenth (10th) day after the Trigger Date. Such notice shall include each such proposed
Nominee’s written consent to serve as a director, if elected, and shall specify: 
 (i) as to each proposed
Nominee, the name, age, business address and residence address of such proposed Nominee and all other information relating to such proposed Nominee that would be required, pursuant to Regulation 14A promulgated under the Exchange Act (or any
successor provision), to be disclosed in a contested solicitation of proxies with respect to the election of such individual as a director; and 
 (ii) as to each Holder giving the notice, the class, series and number of all shares of capital stock of the Company that are owned by such Holder, beneficially or of record. 

(f) Notice. Not less than fifteen (15) nor more than twenty-five (25) days before the Special Election Meeting, the
Secretary of the Company shall give to each stockholder entitled to vote at, or to receive notice of, such meeting at such stockholder’s address as it appears in the share transfer records of the Company, notice in writing setting forth
(i) the time and place of the Special Election Meeting, (ii) the purposes for which the Special Election Meeting has been called and (iii) the name of each Nominee. 

(g) This Section 3 shall be incorporated into the Company’s Bylaws. 

 

	4.	Rules 144 and 144A Reporting 

 With a view to making available the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the Commission that may at any time permit the resale of the Registrable Shares to the public without registration, the
Company agrees to: 
 (a) make and keep current public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule
144, at all times after the effective date of the first registration statement under the Securities Act filed by the Company for an offering of its securities to the general public; 

(b) to file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required to be filed by the Company under the
Securities Act and the Exchange Act (at any time after it has become subject to such reporting requirements); 
 (c) so long as
a Holder owns any Registrable Shares, if the Company is not required to file reports and other documents under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, it will make 

  
 14 

 
available other information as required by, and so long as necessary to permit sales of Registrable Shares pursuant to, Rule 144 or Rule 144A, and in any event shall make available (either by
mailing a copy thereof, by posting on the Company’s website, or by press release) to each Holder a copy of: 

(i) the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements (including at least balance sheets, statements of profit
and loss, statements of stockholders’ equity and statements of cash flows) prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, accompanied by an audit report of the Company’s independent accountants, not later than
one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of the fiscal year ending December 31, 2011 and not later than ninety (90) days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company thereafter; and 

(ii) the Company’s unaudited quarterly financial statements (including at least balance sheets, statements of profit
and loss, statements of stockholders’ equity and statements of cash flows) prepared in a manner consistent with the preparation of the Company’s annual financial statements, no later than forty-five (45) days after the end of each of
the first three fiscal quarters of the Company; 
 (d) hold, a reasonable time after the availability of such financial
statements and upon reasonable notice to the Holders and FBR (either by mail, by posting on the Company’s website, or by press release), a quarterly investor conference call to discuss such financial statements, which call will also include an
opportunity for the Holders to ask questions of management with regard to such financial statements, and until the second anniversary of the date of this Agreement will also cooperate with, and make management reasonably available to, FBR personnel
in connection with making Company information available to investors; and 
 (e) so long as a Holder owns any Registrable
Shares, to furnish to the Holder promptly upon written request (i) a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 (at any time after ninety (90) days after the effective date of the
first registration statement filed by the Company for an offering of its securities to the general public), and with the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (at any time after its has become subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange
Act), (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company, and (iii) such other reports and documents of the Company, and take such further actions, as a Holder may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or
regulation of the Commission allowing a Holder to sell any such Registrable Shares without registration. 
  

	5.	Registration Procedures 

In connection with the obligations of the Company with respect to any registration pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall use its
commercially reasonable efforts to effect or cause to be effected the registration of the Registrable Shares under the Securities Act to permit the sale of such Registrable Shares by the Holder or Holders in accordance with the Holder’s or
Holders’ intended method or methods of distribution, and the Company shall: 
 (a) notify the managing underwriter and
Selling Holders’ Counsel, in writing, at least ten (10) Business Days prior to filing a Registration Statement, of its intention to file a 

  
 15 

 
Registration Statement with the Commission and, at least five (5) Business Days prior to filing, provide a copy of the Registration Statement to the managing underwriter, its counsel and
Selling Holders’ Counsel for review and comment; prepare and file with the Commission, as specified in this Agreement, a Registration Statement(s), which Registration Statement(s) shall (x) comply as to form in all material respects with
the requirements of the Securities Act and the applicable form and include all financial statements required by the Commission to be filed therewith and (y) be acceptable to the managing underwriter, its counsel and Selling Holders’
Counsel; notify the managing underwriter and Selling Holders’ Counsel in writing, at least five (5) Business Days prior to filing of any amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement and, at least three (3) Business Days
prior to filing, provide a copy of such amendment or supplement to the managing underwriter, its counsel and Selling Holders’ Counsel for review and comment; promptly following receipt from the Commission, provide to the managing underwriter,
its counsel and Selling Holders’ Counsel copies of any comments made by the staff of the Commission relating to such Registration Statement and of the Company’s responses thereto for review and comment; and use its commercially reasonable
efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective as soon as practicable after filing and to remain effective, subject to Section 6 hereof, until the earlier of (i) such time as all Registrable Shares covered thereby have
been sold in accordance with the intended distribution of such Registrable Shares, (ii) there are no Registrable Shares outstanding or (iii) the first anniversary of the effective date of such Registration Statement (subject to extension
as provided in Section 6(c) hereof and the condition that the Registrable Shares have been transferred to an unrestricted CUSIP, are listed or included on the New York Stock Exchange or the Nasdaq Global Market, pursuant to Section 5(n) of
this Agreement, or on an alternative trading system with the Registrable Shares qualified under the applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws of all fifty (50) states, and can be sold under Rule 144 without limitation as to
manner of sale or volume); provided, however, that if the Company has an effective Shelf Registration Statement on Form S-1 (or other form then available to the Company) under the Securities Act and becomes eligible to use Form S-3 or such
other short-form registration statement form under the Securities Act, the Company may, upon thirty (30) Business Days prior written notice to all Holders, register any Registrable Shares registered but not yet distributed under the effective
Shelf Registration Statement on such a short-form Shelf Registration Statement unless any Holder registered under the initial Shelf Registration Statement notifies the Company within fifteen (15) Business Days of receipt of the Company notice
that such a registration under a new Registration Statement and de-registration of the initial Shelf Registration Statement would interfere with its distribution of Registrable Shares already in progress, in which case, the Company shall delay the
effectiveness of the short-form Registration Statement and termination of the then-effective initial Registration Statement or any short-form Registration Statement for a period of not less than thirty (30) days from the date that the Company
receives the notice from such Holders requesting a delay; 
 (b) subject to Section 5(i) hereof, (i) prepare and file
with the Commission such amendments and post-effective amendments to each such Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective for the period described in Section 5(a) hereof; (ii) cause each
Prospectus contained therein to be supplemented by any required Prospectus supplement, and as so supplemented to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 or any similar rule that may be adopted under the Securities Act; and (iii) comply with the
provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by each Registration Statement during the applicable period in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution by the selling Holders thereof;

  
 16 

 (c) furnish to the Holders, without charge, as many copies of each Prospectus, including
each preliminary Prospectus, and any amendment or supplement thereto and such other documents as such Holder may reasonably request, in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of the Registrable Shares; the Company consents, subject
to Section 6 hereof, to the use of such Prospectus, including each preliminary Prospectus, by the Holders, if any, in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Shares covered by any such Prospectus; 

(d) use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify, or obtain exemption from registration or qualification for, all
Registrable Shares by the time the applicable Registration Statement is declared effective by the Commission under all applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions as the managing underwriter or any Holder of
Registrable Shares covered by a Registration Statement shall reasonably request in writing, keep each such registration or qualification or exemption effective during the period such Registration Statement is required to be kept effective pursuant
to Section 5(a) and do any and all other acts and things that may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable such Holder to consummate the disposition in each such jurisdiction of such Registrable Shares owned by such Holder; provided,
however, that the Company shall not be required to (i) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction or to register as a broker or dealer in such jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this
Section 5(d) and except as may be required by the Securities Act, (ii) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction, or (iii) submit to the general service of process in any such jurisdiction; 

(e) use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Registrable Shares covered by such Registration Statement to be registered and
approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary to enable the Holders thereof to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Shares; 
 (f) notify the managing underwriter and each Holder promptly and, if requested by the managing underwriter or any Holder, confirm such advice in writing (1) when a Registration Statement has become
effective and when any post-effective amendments and supplements thereto become effective, (2) of the issuance by the Commission or any state securities authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement or the
initiation of any Proceeding for that purpose, (3) of any request by the Commission or any other federal, state or foreign governmental authority for (A) amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or related Prospectus or
(B) additional information and (4) of the happening of any event during the period a Registration Statement is effective as a result of which such Registration Statement or the related Prospectus or any document incorporated by reference
therein contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading (which information shall be accompanied by an instruction to
suspend the use of the Prospectus until the requisite changes have been made) and (5) at the request of any such Holder, promptly to furnish to such Holder a reasonable number of copies of a supplement to or an amendment of such Prospectus as
may be necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchaser of such securities, such Prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading; 

  
 17 

 (g) use its commercially reasonable efforts to avoid the issuance of, or if issued, to
obtain the withdrawal of, any order enjoining or suspending the use or effectiveness of a Registration Statement or suspending the qualification of (or exemption from qualification of) any of the Registrable Shares for sale in any jurisdiction, as
promptly as practicable; 
 (h) upon request, promptly furnish to each requesting Holder of Registrable Shares covered by a
Registration Statement, without charge, one conformed copy of such Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment or supplement thereto (without documents incorporated therein by reference or exhibits thereto, unless requested); 

(i) except as provided in Section 6 hereof, upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 5(f)(4) hereof, use its
commercially reasonable efforts to promptly prepare a supplement or post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement or the related Prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference or file any other required document so that, as
thereafter delivered to the purchasers of the Registrable Shares, such Prospectus will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in
the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; 
 (j) if requested by the representative of the
underwriters, if any, or any Holders of Registrable Shares being sold in connection with such offering, (i) promptly incorporate in a Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information as the representative of the underwriters,
if any, or such Holders indicate relates to them or that they reasonably request be included therein and (ii) make all required filings of such Prospectus supplement or such post-effective amendment as
soon as reasonably practicable after the Company has received notification of the matters to be incorporated in such Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment; 
 (k) in the case of an Underwritten Offering, use its commercially reasonable efforts to furnish to the underwriters a signed counterpart, addressed to the underwriters, of: (i) an opinion of counsel
for the Company, dated the date of each closing under the underwriting agreement, customary and reasonably satisfactory to the underwriters; and (ii) a “comfort” letter, dated the effective date of such Registration Statement and the
date of each closing under the underwriting agreement, signed by the independent registered public accounting firm who has certified the Company’s financial statements included in such Registration Statement, covering substantially the same
matters with respect to such Registration Statement (and the Prospectus included therein) and with respect to events subsequent to the date of such financial statements, as are customarily covered in accountants’ letters delivered to
underwriters in underwritten public offerings of securities and such other financial matters as the underwriters may reasonably request; 
 (l) enter into customary agreements (including in the case of an Underwritten Offering, an underwriting agreement in customary form and reasonably satisfactory to the Company) and take all other
reasonable action in connection therewith in order to expedite or 

  
 18 

 
facilitate the distribution of the Registrable Shares included in such Registration Statement and, in the case of an Underwritten Offering, make representations and warranties to the Holders
covered by such Registration Statement and to the underwriters in such form and scope as are customarily made by issuers to underwriters in Underwritten Offerings and confirm the same to the extent customary if and when requested; 

(m) make available for inspection by representatives of the Holders and the representative of any underwriters participating in any
disposition pursuant to a Registration Statement and any special counsel or accountants retained by such Holders or underwriters, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company and cause the respective
officers, directors and employees of the Company to supply all information reasonably requested by any such representatives, the representative of the underwriters, counsel thereto or accountants in connection with a Registration Statement;
provided, however, that such records, documents or information that the Company determines, in good faith, to be confidential and notifies such representatives, representative of the underwriters, counsel thereto or accountants are
confidential shall not be disclosed by such representatives, representative of the underwriters, counsel thereto or accountants unless (i) the disclosure of such records, documents or information is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement
or omission in a Registration Statement or Prospectus, (ii) the release of such records, documents or information is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other order from a court of competent jurisdiction, or (iii) such records, documents or
information have been generally made available to the public; provided, further, that the representatives of the Holders and any underwriters will use commercially reasonable efforts, to the extent practicable, to coordinate the foregoing
inspection and information gathering and not materially disrupt the Company’s business operations; 
 (n) use its
commercially reasonable efforts (including, without limitation, seeking to cure any deficiencies cited by the exchange or market in the Company’s listing or inclusion application) to list or include all Registrable Shares on the New York Stock
Exchange or the Nasdaq Global Market; 
 (o) prepare and file in a timely manner all documents and reports required by the
Exchange Act and, to the extent the Company’s obligation to file such reports pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act expires prior to the expiration of the effectiveness period of the Registration Statement as required by
Section 5(a) hereof, the Company shall register the Registrable Shares under the Exchange Act and shall maintain such registration through the effectiveness period required by Section 5(a) hereof;

supplement to such Registration Statement or 

  
 19 

 
Prospectus to which any Holder of Registrable Shares covered by any Registration Statement shall have reasonably objected on the grounds that such Registration Statement or Prospectus or
amendment or supplement does not comply in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act, such Holder having been furnished with a copy thereof at least two (2) Business Days prior to the filing thereof; 

(r) provide and cause to be maintained a registrar and transfer agent for all Registrable Shares covered by any Registration Statement
from and after a date not later than the effective date of such Registration Statement; 
 (s) in connection with any sale or
transfer of the Registrable Shares (whether or not pursuant to a Registration Statement) that will result in the securities being delivered no longer being Registrable Shares, cooperate with the Holders and the representative of the underwriters, if
any, to facilitate the timely, in the case of beneficial interests in Registrable Shares held through a depositary, transfer of such equivalent Registrable Shares with an unrestricted CUSIP, or in the case of certificated shares, preparation and
delivery of certificates representing the Registrable Shares to be sold, which certificates shall not bear any restrictive transfer legends and to enable such Registrable Shares to be in such denominations and registered in such names as the
representative of the underwriters, if any, or the Holders may request at least three (3) Business Days prior to any sale of the Registrable Shares; 
 (t) in connection with the initial filing of a Shelf Registration Statement for an Underwritten Offering and each amendment thereto with the Commission, cooperate with the managing underwriter in
connection with the filing with FINRA of all forms and information required or requested by FINRA in order to obtain written confirmation from FINRA that FINRA does not object to the fairness and reasonableness of the underwriting terms and
arrangements (or any deemed underwriting terms and arrangements) (each such written confirmation, a “No Objections Letter”) relating to the resale of Registrable Shares pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement, including,
without limitation, information provided to FINRA through its COBRADesk system, and pay all costs, fees and expenses incident to FINRA’s review of the Shelf Registration Statement and the related underwriting terms and arrangements, including,
without limitation, all filing fees associated with any filings or submissions to FINRA and the legal expenses, filing fees and other disbursements of the managing underwriter and any other FINRA member that is the Holder of, or is affiliated or
associated with an owner of, Registrable Shares included in the Shelf Registration Statement (including in connection with any initial or subsequent member filing); 
 (u) in connection with the initial filing of a Registration Statement and each amendment thereto with the Commission, provide to the managing underwriter and its representatives, the opportunity to
conduct due diligence, including, without limitation, an inquiry of the Company’s financial and other records, and make available members of its management for questions regarding information which the managing underwriter may request in order
to fulfill any due diligence obligation on its part; 
 (v) upon effectiveness of the first Registration Statement filed under
this Agreement, take such actions and make such filings as are necessary to effect the registration of the Common Stock under the Exchange Act, if not already so registered, simultaneously with or immediately following the effectiveness of the
Registration Statement; and 

  
 20 

 (w) in the case of an Underwritten Offering, use its commercially reasonable efforts to
cooperate and assist in any filings required to be made with FINRA and in the performance of any due diligence investigation by any underwriter and its counsel (including any “qualified independent underwriter,” if applicable) that is
required to be retained in accordance with the rules and regulations of FINRA. 
 The Company may require the Holders to furnish
(and each Holder shall furnish) to the Company such information regarding the proposed distribution by such Holder of such Registrable Shares as the Company may from time to time reasonably request in writing or as shall be required to effect the
registration of the Registrable Shares, and no Holder shall be entitled to be named as a selling stockholder in any Registration Statement and no Holder shall be entitled to use the Prospectus forming a part thereof if such Holder does not provide
such information to the Company. Any Holder that sells Registrable Shares pursuant to a Registration Statement or as a selling security holder pursuant to an Underwritten Offering shall be required to be named as a selling shareholder in the related
prospectus and to deliver a prospectus to purchasers. Each Holder further agrees to furnish promptly to the Company in writing all information required from time to time to make the information previously furnished by such Holder not misleading.

 Each Holder agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in
Section 5(f)(2), 5(f)(3) or 5(f)(4) hereof, such Holder will immediately discontinue disposition of Registrable Shares pursuant to a Registration Statement until such Holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus
or the Company has otherwise provided notice to such Holder that dispositions of Registrable Shares may be resumed. If so directed by the Company, such Holder will deliver to the Company (at the expense of the Company) all copies in its possession,
other than permanent file copies then in such Holder’s possession, of the Prospectus covering such Registrable Shares current at the time of receipt of such notice. 

 

	6.	Black-Out Period 

 (a)
Subject to the provisions of this Section 6 and a good faith determination by a majority of the independent members of the Board of Directors that it is in the best interests of the Company to suspend the use of the Registration Statement,
following the effectiveness of a Registration Statement (and the filings with any international, federal or state securities commissions), the Company, by written notice to the managing underwriter and the Holders, may direct the Holders to suspend
sales of the Registrable Shares pursuant to a Registration Statement for such times as the Company reasonably may determine is necessary and advisable (but in no event for more than an aggregate of ninety (90) days in any rolling twelve
(12) month period commencing on the date of this Agreement or more than sixty (60) days in any rolling ninety (90) day period), if any of the following events shall occur: (i) the representative of the underwriters of an
Underwritten Offering of primary shares by the Company has advised the Company that the sale of Registrable Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s primary Underwritten Offering;
(ii) the majority of the independent members of the Board of Directors shall have determined in good faith that (A) the 

  
 21 

 
offer or sale of any Registrable Shares would materially impede, delay or interfere with any proposed financing, offer or sale of securities, acquisition, merger, tender offer, business
combination, corporate reorganization or other significant transaction involving the Company, (B) after the advice of counsel, the sale of Registrable Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement would require disclosure of non-public material
information not otherwise required to be disclosed under applicable law, and (C) (x) the Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving the confidentiality of such transaction, (y) disclosure would have a material adverse
effect on the Company or the Company’s ability to consummate such transaction, or (z) the disclosure would render the Company unable to comply with Commission requirements, in each case under circumstances that would make it impractical or
inadvisable to cause the Registration Statement (or such filings) to become effective or to promptly amend or supplement the Registration Statement on a post-effective basis, as applicable; or (iii) the majority of the independent members of
the Board of Directors shall have determined in good faith, after the advice of counsel, that it is required by law, rule or regulation or that it is in the best interests of the Company to supplement the Registration Statement or file a
post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement in order to incorporate information into the Registration Statement for the purpose of (1) including in the Registration Statement any prospectus required under Section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act; (2) reflecting in the prospectus included in the Registration Statement any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or of the most recent post-effective amendment) that, individually or in
the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth therein; (3) correcting any misstatement or omission in the Registration Statement or the prospectus included therein; or (4) including in the prospectus included
in the Registration Statement any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information. Upon the occurrence of any such suspension, the Company shall use
its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registration Statement to become effective or to promptly amend or supplement the Registration Statement on a post-effective basis or to take such action as is necessary to make resumed use of the
Registration Statement compatible with the Company’s best interests, as applicable, so as to permit the Holders to resume sales of the Registrable Shares as soon as possible. 

(b) In the case of an event that causes the Company to suspend the use of a Registration Statement (a “Suspension
Event”), the Company shall give written notice (a “Suspension Notice”) to the managing underwriter and the Holders to suspend sales of the Registrable Shares and such notice shall state generally the basis for the notice
and that such suspension shall continue only for so long as the Suspension Event or its effect is continuing and the Company is using its commercially reasonable efforts and taking all reasonable steps to terminate suspension of the use of the
Registration Statement as promptly as possible. The Holders shall not effect any sales of the Registrable Shares pursuant to such Registration Statement (or such filings) at any time after it has received a Suspension Notice from the Company and
prior to receipt of an End of Suspension Notice (as defined below). If so directed by the Company, each Holder will deliver to the Company (at the expense of the Company) all copies other than permanent file copies then in such Holder’s
possession of the Prospectus covering the Registrable Shares at the time of receipt of the Suspension Notice. The Holders may recommence effecting sales of the Registrable Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement (or such filings) following
further notice to such effect (an “End of Suspension Notice”) from the Company, which End of Suspension Notice shall be given by the Company to the Holders and the managing underwriter in the manner described above promptly
following the conclusion of any Suspension Event and its effect. 

  
 22 

 (c) Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, if the Company shall give a
Suspension Notice pursuant to this Section 6, the Company agrees that it shall extend the period of time during which the applicable Registration Statement shall be maintained effective pursuant to this Agreement by the number of days during
the period from the date of receipt by the Holders of the Suspension Notice to and including the date of receipt by the Holders of the End of Suspension Notice and copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus necessary to resume sales.

  

	7.	Indemnification and Contribution 

 (a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless (i) each Holder of Registrable Shares and any underwriter (as determined in the Securities Act) for such Holder (including, if applicable, FBR),
(ii) each Person, if any, who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act) any such Person described in clause (i) (any of the Persons referred to in this clause
(ii) being hereinafter referred to as a “Controlling Person”), and (iii) the respective officers, directors, partners, members, employees, representatives and agents of any such Person or any Controlling Person (any Person
referred to in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above may hereinafter be referred to as a “Purchaser Indemnitee”), to the fullest extent lawful, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, judgments, actions,
out-of-pocket expenses, and other liabilities (the “Liabilities”), including without limitation and as incurred, reimbursement of all reasonable costs of investigating, preparing, pursuing or defending any Proceeding by any
governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to any Purchaser Indemnitee, joint or several, directly or indirectly related to, based upon, arising out of or in connection with any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), any Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus (or any amendment or
supplement thereto), or any preliminary Prospectus or any other document used to sell the Registrable Shares, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except insofar as such Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and
in conformity with information relating to any Purchaser Indemnitee furnished to the Company, or any underwriter in writing by such Purchaser Indemnitee expressly for use therein. The Company shall notify the Holders promptly of the institution,
threat or assertion of any Proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation), or litigation of which it shall have become aware in connection with the matters addressed by this Agreement that involves the Company or a Purchaser
Indemnitee. The indemnity provided for herein shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Purchaser Indemnitee. 
 (b) In connection with any Registration Statement in which a Holder of Registrable Shares is participating, and as a condition to such participation, such Holder agrees, severally and not jointly, to
indemnify and hold harmless the Company and each Person who controls the 

  
 23 

 
Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act and their respective officers, directors, partners, members, employees,
representatives and agents of such Person or Controlling Person to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to each Purchaser Indemnitee, but only with reference to untrue statements or omissions or alleged untrue statements or
omissions made in reliance upon and in strict conformity with information relating to such Holder furnished to the Company in writing by such Holder expressly for use in such Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), Prospectus (or any
amendment or supplement thereto), Issuer Free Writing Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or any preliminary Prospectus or Liability arising out of or based upon sales of Registrable Shares made by such Holder who has received actual
notice of the suspension prior to such sale in violation of Section 6(b). Absent gross negligence or willful misconduct, the liability of any Holder pursuant to this paragraph shall in no event exceed the net proceeds received by such Holder
from sales of Registrable Shares pursuant to such Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), Issuer Free Writing Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or any preliminary
Prospectus. 
 (c) If any Proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation), shall be brought or asserted
against any Person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to paragraph (a) or (b) above, such Person (the “Indemnified Party”) shall promptly notify the Person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the
“Indemnifying Party”) in writing of the commencement thereof (but the failure to so notify an Indemnifying Party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have under this Section 7, except to the extent the
Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by the failure to give notice), and the Indemnifying Party, upon request of the Indemnified Party, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party to represent the Indemnified Party
and any others the Indemnifying Party may reasonably designate in such Proceeding and shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses actually incurred by such counsel related to such Proceeding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in any such Proceeding, any
Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party, unless (i) the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall have mutually
agreed in writing to the contrary, (ii) the Indemnifying Party failed within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the Proceeding to assume the defense and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party,
(iii) the Indemnifying Party and its counsel do not actively and vigorously pursue the defense of such Proceeding or (iv) the named parties to any such Proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and
Indemnifying Party, or any Affiliate of the Indemnifying Party, and such Indemnified Party shall have been reasonably advised by counsel that, either (x) there may be one or more legal defenses available to it which are different from or
additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party or such Affiliate of the Indemnifying Party or (y) a conflict may exist between such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party or such Affiliate of the Indemnifying Party (in which case
the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume nor direct the defense of such action on behalf of such Indemnified Party; it being understood, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not, in connection with any one such Proceeding or
separate but substantially similar or related Proceedings in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to any
local counsel) for all such Indemnified Parties, which firm shall be designated in writing by those 

  
 24 

 
Indemnified Parties who sold a majority of the Registrable Shares sold by all such Indemnified Parties and any such separate firm for the Company, the directors, the officers and such control
Persons of the Company as shall be designated in writing by the Company). The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any Proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, but if
settled with such consent or if there is a final judgment for the plaintiff, the Indemnifying Party agrees to indemnify any Indemnified Party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. No Indemnifying Party
shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened Proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder
by such Indemnified Party, unless such settlement (i) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an
admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party. 
 (d) If the indemnification
provided for in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 7 is for any reason held to be unavailable to an Indemnified Party in respect of any Liabilities referred to therein (other than by reason of the exceptions provided therein) or
is insufficient to hold harmless a party indemnified thereunder, then each Indemnifying Party under such paragraphs, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party
as a result of such Liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits of the Indemnified Party on the one hand and the Indemnifying Party(ies) on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that
resulted in such Liabilities, or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above
but also the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party(ies) and the Indemnified Party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and any Purchaser Indemnitees on the other shall be
determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or by such Purchaser
Indemnitees and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. 
 (e) The parties agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if such Indemnified Parties were treated
as one entity for such purpose), or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in Section 7(d) above. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of any
Liabilities referred to in Section 7(d) above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any reasonable legal or other expenses actually incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or
defending any such Proceeding. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, in no event shall a Purchaser Indemnitee be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the net proceeds received by such Purchaser
Indemnitee from sales of Registrable Shares exceeds the amount of any damages that such Purchaser Indemnitee has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. For purposes of
this Section 7, each Person, if any, who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 

  
 25 

 
of the Securities Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act) FBR or a Holder of Registrable Shares shall have the same rights to contribution as FBR or such Holder, as the case may be, and
each Person, if any, who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act) the Company, and each officer, director, partner, employee, representative, agent or manager of the Company
shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company. Any party entitled to contribution will, promptly after receipt of notice of commencement of any Proceeding against such party in respect of which a claim for contribution may be made
against another party or parties, notify each party or parties from whom contribution may be sought, but the omission to so notify such party or parties shall not relieve the party or parties from whom contribution may be sought from any obligation
it or they may have under this Section 7 or otherwise, except to the extent that any party is materially prejudiced by the failure to give notice. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the
Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. 

(f) The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 7 will be in addition to any liability which the
Indemnifying Parties may otherwise have to the Indemnified Parties referred to above. The Purchaser Indemnitee’s obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 7 are several in proportion to the respective number of Registrable Shares
sold by each of the Purchaser Indemnitees hereunder and not joint. 
  

	8.	Market Stand-off Agreement 

Each Holder hereby agrees that it shall not, to the extent requested by the Company or an underwriter of securities of the Company,
directly or indirectly sell, offer to sell (including without limitation any short sale), grant any option or otherwise transfer or dispose of any Registrable Shares or other shares of Common Stock of the Company or any securities convertible into
or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of Common Stock of the Company then owned by such Holder (other than to donees or partners of the Holder who agree to be similarly bound) for a period (x) in the case of the Company and each of its
officers, directors, managers or employees, in each case to the extent such Holder holds shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of Common Stock, beginning on the effective date of, and
continuing for one hundred eighty (180) days following the effective date of, the IPO Registration Statement of the Company; and (y) in the case of all other Holders (subject to the provisions of the second paragraph of Section 2(b),
if applicable), beginning on the effective date of, and continuing for sixty (60) days following the effective date of the IPO Registration Statement of the Company; provided, however, that: 

(a) the restrictions above shall not apply to Registrable Shares bought or sold pursuant to the IPO Registration Statement; 

(b) the restrictions set forth in clause (y) above shall not apply to any shares of Common Stock of the Company bought in the open
market following the effective date of the IPO Registration Statement; 
 (c) it shall be a condition to any Holder’s
agreement to be bound by the restrictions set forth in clause (y) above that all the executive officers and directors of the Company then holding shares of Common Stock of the Company or securities convertible into or exchangeable or
exercisable for shares of Common Stock of the Company enter into agreements that are no less restrictive; 

  
 26 

 (d) the Holders shall be allowed any concession or proportionate release allowed to any
officer or director that entered into agreements that are no less restrictive (with such proportion being determined by dividing the number of shares being released with respect to such officer or director by the total number of issued and
outstanding shares held by such officer or director); provided, that nothing in this Section 8(d) shall be construed as a right to proportionate release for the executive officers and directors of the Company upon the expiration of the
sixty (60) day period applicable to all Holders other than the executive officers and directors of the Company; 
 (e) with
respect to the restrictions set forth in clause (y) above, each Holder shall be allowed a proportionate release granted to any other Holder (with such proportion being determined by dividing the number of shares being released with respect to
such Holder by the total number of issued and outstanding shares held by such Holder); and 
 (f) this Section 8 shall not
be applicable if a Shelf Registration Statement of the Company filed under the Securities Act has been declared effective prior to the filing of an IPO Registration Statement. 
 In order to enforce the foregoing covenant, the Company shall have the right to place restrictive legends on the certificates representing the securities subject to this Section 8 and to impose stop
transfer instructions with respect to the Registrable Shares and such other securities of each Holder (and the securities of every other Person subject to the foregoing restriction) until the end of such period. 

 

	9.	Termination of the Company’s Obligation 

 The Company shall have no obligation pursuant to this Agreement with respect to any Registrable Shares proposed to be sold by a Holder in a registration pursuant to this Agreement on the earlier of (a)
seven (7) years after the date of this Agreement and (b) as to any Holder other than RAC, GES and Sprott, if, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, all such Registrable Shares proposed to be sold by such Holder may be sold in a single
transaction without registration under the Securities Act pursuant to Rule 144. 
  

	10.	Limitations on Subsequent Registration Rights 

 After the date of this Agreement, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Holders beneficially owning not less than a majority of the then outstanding Registrable Shares (provided,
however, that for purposes of this Section 10, Registrable Shares that are owned, directly or indirectly, by an “executive officer” (as defined in Rule 405) of the Company shall not be deemed to be outstanding), enter into any
agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Company that would allow such holder or prospective holder (a) to include such securities in any Registration Statement filed pursuant to the terms hereof, unless, under
the terms of such agreement, such holder or prospective holder may include such securities in any such registration only to the extent that the inclusion of its securities will not reduce the amount of Registrable Shares of the Holders that is
included, or (b) to have its 

  
 27 

 
securities registered on a registration statement that could be declared effective prior to, or within one hundred eighty (180) days of, the effective date of any registration statement
filed pursuant to this Agreement. 
  

	11.	Miscellaneous 

 (a)
Remedies. In the event of a breach by the Company of any of its obligations under this Agreement, each Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or, in the case of FBR, in the Purchase/Placement Agreement,
or granted by law, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement. Subject to Section 7, the Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it
of any of the provisions of this Agreement and hereby further agrees that, in the event of any action for specific performance in respect of such breach, it shall waive the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate. 

(b) Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of this sentence, may not be
amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to or departures from the provisions hereof may not be given in a manner that adversely affects the Holders without the written consent of the Company and Holders beneficially owning not
less than a majority of the then outstanding Registrable Shares. No amendment shall be deemed effective unless it applies uniformly to all Holders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or consent to or departure from the provisions hereof with
respect to a matter that relates exclusively to the rights of a Holder whose securities are being sold pursuant to a Registration Statement and that does not directly or indirectly affect, impair, limit or compromise the rights of other Holders may
be given by such Holder; provided that the provisions of this sentence may not be amended, modified or supplemented except in accordance with the provisions of the first and second sentences of this paragraph. 

(c) Notices. All notices and other communications, provided for or permitted hereunder, shall be made in writing and delivered by
facsimile (with receipt confirmed), overnight courier or registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, or by telegram: 
 (i) if to a Holder, at the most current address given by the transfer agent and registrar of the Registrable Shares to the Company; and 

(ii) if to the Company, at the offices of the Company at Independence Contract Drilling, Inc., 11616 N. Galayda Street,
Houston, Texas 77086, Attention: Philip Choyce, with a copy (which shall not constitute notice) to David Peterman, Esq., Fulbright & Jaworski L.L.P., 1301 McKinney Street, Suite 5100, Houston, TX 77010 (facsimile: 713-651-5246); and

 (iii) if to FBR, at the offices of FBR at 1001 Nineteenth Street North, Arlington, Virginia 22209, Attention:
General Counsel; with a copy (which shall not constitute notice) to David C. Buck, Esq., Andrews Kurth LLP, 600 Travis Street, Suite 4200, Houston, TX 77002 (facsimile: 713-238-7126). 

(d) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and assigns of each of
the parties hereto, including, without 

  
 28 

 
limitation and without the need for an express assignment or assumption, subsequent Holders. The Company agrees that the Holders shall be third party beneficiaries to the agreements made
hereunder by FBR and the Company, and each Holder shall have the right to enforce such agreements directly to the extent it deems such enforcement necessary or advisable to protect its rights hereunder; provided, however, that such Holder
fulfills all of its obligations hereunder. 
 (e) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts and by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. A signature page to this Agreement or any
other document prepared in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby that contains a copy of a party’s signature and that is sent by such party or its agent with the apparent intention (as reasonably evidenced by the actions of such
party or its agent) that it constitute such party’s execution and delivery of this Agreement or such other document, including a document sent by facsimile transmission or by email in portable document format (pdf), shall have the same effect
as if such party had executed and delivered an original of this Agreement or such other document. 
 (f) Headings. The
headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof. 

(g) Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, AS
APPLIED TO CONTRACTS MADE AND PERFORMED WITHIN THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATION LAW THAT WOULD REQUIRE THE APPLICATION OF THE LAW OF ANY
OTHER STATE. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY STATE COURT IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK OR ANY FEDERAL COURT SITTING IN NEW YORK IN RESPECT OF ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO
THIS AGREEMENT, AND IRREVOCABLY ACCEPTS FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY, THE JURISDICTION OF THE AFORESAID COURTS. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT IT MAY EFFECTIVELY DO SO
UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT AND ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT HAS
BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM. 
 (h) Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this
Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be
affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision,
covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the parties 

  
 29 

 
hereto that they would have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or
unenforceable. 
 (i) Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Purchase/Placement Agreement and the
Contribution Agreement, is intended by the parties hereto as a final expression of their agreement, and is intended to be a complete and exclusive statement of the agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter
contained herein and therein. 
 (j) Registrable Shares Held by the Company or its Affiliates. Whenever the consent or
approval of Holders of a specified percentage of Registrable Shares is required hereunder, Registrable Shares held by the Company or its Affiliates or by an “executive officer” (as defined in Rule 405) of the Company shall not be counted
in determining whether such consent or approval was given by the Holders of such required percentage. 
 (k) Adjustment for
Stock Splits, etc. Wherever in this Agreement there is a reference to a specific number of shares, then upon the occurrence of any subdivision, combination, or stock dividend of such shares, the specific number of shares so referenced in this
Agreement shall automatically be proportionally adjusted to reflect the effect on the outstanding shares of such class or series of stock by such subdivision, combination, or stock dividend. 

(l) Survival. This Agreement is intended to survive the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase/Placement
Agreement and the Contribution Agreement. The indemnification and contribution obligations under Section 7 of this Agreement shall survive the termination of the Company’s obligations under Section 2 of this Agreement. 

(m) Attorneys’ Fees. In any Proceeding brought to enforce any provision of this Agreement, or where any provision hereof is
validly asserted as a defense, the prevailing party, as determined by the court, shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys’ fees in addition to any other available remedy.

 TO 
 GES DISCLOSURE SCHEDULES 

LEGAL DESCRIPTION OF THE LAND 

A 15.050-ACRE TRACT OF LAND SITUATED IN THE WILEY S. POWELL SURVEY, ABSTRACT 622, HARRIS COUNTY, TEXAS, BEING OUT OF THE ALLEN INDUSTRIAL PARK, AN
UNRECORDED SUBDIVISION OF 20.48821 ACRES AS DESCRIBED IN DEED TO IDM EQUIPMENT, LLC, RECORDED UNDER HARRIS COUNTY CLERK’S FILE NUMBERS 20070592667 OF THE OFFICIAL PUBLIC RECORDS OF REAL PROPERTY, (AS TO TRACTS 1-6) AND DEEDS TO IDM EQUIPMENT,
LTD. RECORDED UNDER HARRIS COUNTY CLERK’S FILE NUMBER Z167750 OF THE OFFICIAL PUBLIC RECORDS OF REAL PROPERTY, (AS TO LOTS 7, 8 AND 9), HARRIS COUNTY CLERK’S FILE NUMBER Z167751 OF THE OFFICIAL PUBLIC RECORDS OF REAL PROPERTY, (AS TO LOTS

 BEGINNING at a 1-1/2-inch iron pipe found in the north

shall be effective earlier than twenty (20) Business Days after the delivery of the Increase Request to the Administrative Agent; (D) the Rig Utilization Ratio, measured for the three-month period ending as of the last day of the most
recently ended calendar month prior to delivery of the Increase Request, shall not be less than 80%; (E) both before and after giving effect to any such Facilities Increase, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;
(F) the average daily Availability for the immediately preceding ninety (90) day period is at least $6,000,000 and the Borrowers’ Availability after giving effect to such increase is at least $20,000,000; (G) any incremental
Commitments provided pursuant to this Section 2.01(c) (the “Incremental Commitments”) shall have a termination date no earlier than the termination of the Availability Period for the existing Commitments; (H) if the
Initial Yield applicable to any Incremental Commitments exceeds by more than 0.50% per annum the sum of the Applicable Margin then in effect for Eurodollar Loans plus one fourth of the Up-Front Fees paid in respect of the existing Commitments
(the “Existing Yield”), then the Applicable Margin of the existing Loans shall increase by an amount equal to the difference between the Initial Yield and the Existing Yield; and (I) any collateral securing any such Incremental
Commitments shall also secure all other Obligations on a pari passu basis. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to obligate any Agent or any Lender to participate in or arrange for any Facility Increase. 

  
 -44- 

 (ii) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the proposed Facility
Increase and of the proposed terms and conditions therefor agreed between the Administrative Borrower and the Administrative Agent. Each such Lender may, at its sole option, commit to participate in such Facility Increase by forwarding its
commitment thereto to the Administrative Agent in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. In consultation with the Administrative Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall allocate the commitments to be made as part of the
Facility Increase to the Lenders from which it has received commitments. If the Administrative Agent does not receive sufficient commitments from existing Lenders to effectuate the Facility Increase, it may at its election allocate unsubscribed
amounts to any other Person who would constitute an Eligible Assignee, and absent such allocation, such Facility Increase shall not become effective. 

(iii) Each Facility Increase shall become effective on a date agreed by the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent (a “Facility
Increase Date”), subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02. 
 (iv) On the
Facility Increase Date for any Facility Increase applicable to the Commitments, each Lender or Person participating in such Facility Increase (each, a “Participating Lender” and collectively, the “Participating
Lenders”) shall purchase from each existing Lender an undivided interest in the outstanding Loans so as to ensure that, on the Facility Increase Date after giving effect to such Facility Increase, each Lender holds its Pro Rata Share in the
Commitments and the Loans outstanding on such Facility Increase Date. 
 (v) Each Facility Increase shall be evidenced by an amendment or
supplement to this Agreement executed by the Borrowers (and consented to by all other Loan Parties), the Administrative Agent and the Participating Lenders. Unless otherwise agreed by the Loan Parties, all Lenders (including the Participating
Lenders) and the Administrative Agent, the Commitments made to consummate a Facility Increase shall be subject to the pricing, interest rate, fee and amortization provisions of this Agreement then applicable to the Commitments. Upon closing of a
Facility Increase, new Participating Lenders shall be deemed to be Lenders, and the Commitments made pursuant to a Facility Increase shall for all purposes be deemed to be Commitments hereunder. 

(vi) For purposes of this Section, the following terms shall have the meanings specified below: 

(A) “Initial Yield” shall mean, with respect to any Incremental Commitment, the amount (as determined by the Administrative
Agent) equal to the sum of (i) the margin above the Adjusted LIBO Rate on such Incremental Commitment (including as margin the effect of any floor applicable to the Adjusted LIBO Rate on the date of the calculation), plus
(ii) (x) the amount of any Up-Front Fees on such Incremental Commitments (including any fee or discount received by the Lenders in connection with the initial extension thereof), divided by (y) the lesser of (1) the Weighted
Average Life to Maturity of such Incremental Commitments, and (2) four. 
 (B) “Up-Front Fees” shall mean the amount
of any fees or discounts received by the Lenders in connection with the making of Loans or extensions of credit, expressed as a percentage of such Loan or extension of credit. For the avoidance of doubt, “Up-Front Fees” shall not include
any arrangement fee paid to the Lead Arranger. 

  
 -45- 

 (C) “Weighted Average Life to Maturity” shall mean, when applied to any
Indebtedness at any date, the number of years obtained by dividing (i) the sum of the products obtained by multiplying (x) the amount of each then remaining installment, sinking fund, serial maturity or other required payments of
principal, including payment at final maturity, in respect thereof, by (y) the number of years (calculated to the nearest one-twelfth) that will elapse between such date and the making of such payment by (ii) the then outstanding principal
amount of such Indebtedness. 
 SECTION 2.02 Loans and Borrowings. 

(a) Each Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans of the same Type made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their
respective Commitments. Any Protective Advance shall be made in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.04. 
 (b)
Subject to Section 2.13, each Borrowing shall be denominated in Dollars and comprised entirely of ABR Loans or Eurodollar Loans as the applicable Borrower may request in accordance herewith. Each Swingline Loan shall be denominated in
Dollars and shall be an ABR Loan. Each Lender at its option may make any Eurodollar Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the
obligation of the Borrowers to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 
 (c) With regard to Eurodollar Borrowings:
at the commencement of each Interest Period for any Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $1,000,000. ABR Revolving Borrowings may be in any
amount. Borrowings of more than one Type may be outstanding at the same time; provided that there shall not at any time be more than a total of five (5) Eurodollar Revolving Borrowings outstanding. 

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrowers shall not be entitled to request, or to elect to convert or continue,
any Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Maturity Date. 
 SECTION 2.03 Requests for
Borrowings. To request a Borrowing, the Administrative Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone (or, if permitted by Administrative Agent, by request posted to Administrative Agent’s StuckyNET system)
(a) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three (3) Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing or (b) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York
City time, on the day of the proposed Borrowing. Each such telephonic (or posted) Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and the Administrative Borrower agrees to promptly confirm any such telephonic request by hand delivery, facsimile or Electronic
Transmission to the Administrative Agent of a written Borrowing Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Administrative Borrower. Each such Borrowing Request shall specify the following information in compliance with
Sections 2.01 and 2.02: 
 (i) the aggregate amount of the requested Borrowing, which amount shall be based upon and
consistent with the then-current cash needs of the Borrower to be specifically set forth in the Borrowing Request; 

  
 -46- 

 (ii) the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day; 

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

(iv) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto, which shall be a period contemplated by the
definition of the term “Interest Period”; 
 (v) in the case of a Revolving Borrowing, the Availability (after giving effect to
such Borrowing); and 
 (vi) if not a conversion or continuance, the Borrower to whom the proceeds from such Borrowing are to be disbursed.

 If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified, then the requested Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period is
specified with respect to any requested Eurodollar Borrowing, then the Borrowers shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section, the
Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing. 

SECTION 2.04 Protective Advances. 

(a) Subject to the limitations set forth below, the Administrative Agent is authorized by the Borrowers and the Lenders, from time to time in
the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion (but shall have absolutely no obligation to), to make Loans to the Borrowers, on behalf of all Lenders, which the Administrative Agent, in its Permitted Discretion, deems necessary or desirable
(i) to preserve or protect the Collateral or any portion thereof, (ii) to enhance the likelihood of, or maximize the amount of, repayment of the Loans and other Obligations or (iii) to pay any other amount chargeable to or required to
be paid by the Borrowers pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including payments of principal, interest, fees, premiums, reimbursable expenses (including costs, fees and expenses as described in Section 9.04) and other sums payable
under the Loan Documents (any of such Loans are herein referred to as “Protective Advances”); provided that no Protective Advance shall cause the Aggregate Exposure to exceed the aggregate amount of the Commitments then in
effect; provided further that, the aggregate amount of Protective Advances outstanding at any time pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) above, together with the aggregate amount of all Overadvance Loans made pursuant to
Section 2.01(b), shall not exceed ten percent (10%) of the Aggregate Commitment. Protective Advances may be made even if the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02 have not been satisfied. The Protective Advances
shall be secured by the Liens in 

  
 -47- 

 
favor of the Collateral Agent in and to the Collateral and shall constitute Obligations hereunder. All Protective Advances shall be ABR Borrowings. The Administrative Agent’s authorization
to make Protective Advances may be revoked at any time by the Required Lenders. Any such revocation must be in writing and shall become effective prospectively upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt thereof. At any time that there is
sufficient Availability and the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02 have been satisfied, the Administrative Agent may request the Lenders to make a Loan to repay a Protective Advance. At any other time the Administrative Agent
may require the Lenders to fund their risk participations described in Section 2.04(b). 
 (b) Upon the making of a Protective
Advance by the Administrative Agent (whether before or after the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default), each Lender shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have unconditionally and irrevocably purchased from the
Administrative Agent without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such Protective Advance in proportion to its Applicable Percentage of the aggregate Commitments. Each Lender shall transfer (a “Transfer”)
the amount of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the outstanding principal amount of the applicable Protective Advance with respect to such purchased interest and participation promptly when requested to the Administrative Agent, to such
account of the Administrative Agent as the Administrative Agent may designate, but in any case not later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day notified (if notice is provided by the Administrative Agent prior to 12:00 p.m. New York
City time, and otherwise on the immediately following Business Day (the “Transfer Date”). Transfers may occur during the existence of a Default or an Event of Default and whether or not the applicable conditions precedent set forth
in Section 4.02 have then been satisfied. Such amounts transferred to the Administrative Agent shall be applied against the amount of the Protective Advance and, together with Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Protective
Advance, shall constitute Loans of such Lenders, respectively. If any such amount is not transferred to the Administrative Agent by any Lender on such Transfer Date, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from
such Lender together with interest thereon as specified in Section 2.07. From and after the date, if any, on which any Lender is required to fund, and funds, its participation in any Protective Advance purchased hereunder, the
Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to such Lender, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of all payments of principal and interest and all proceeds of Collateral received by the Administrative Agent in respect of such Protective
Advance. 
 SECTION 2.05 Swingline Loans. 

(a) The Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and the Lenders agree that in order to facilitate the administration of this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents, promptly after the Administrative Borrower requests an ABR Borrowing, the Swingline Lender may elect, in its sole discretion, to have the terms of this Section 2.05(a) apply to such Borrowing Request by
advancing, on behalf of the Lenders and in the amount requested, same day funds to the Borrowers on the applicable Borrowing date to the Funding Account (each such Loan made solely by the Swingline Lender pursuant to this Section 2.05(a)
is referred to in this Agreement as a “Swingline Loan”), with settlement among them as to the Swingline Loans to take place on a periodic basis as set forth in Section 2.05(c). Each Swingline Loan shall be subject to all
the terms and conditions applicable to other ABR Loans funded by the Lenders, except that all payments thereon shall be payable to the Swingline Lender solely for its own 

  
 -48- 

 
account. The aggregate amount of Swingline Loans outstanding at any time shall not exceed $4,000,000. The Swingline Lender shall not make any Swingline Loan if the requested Swingline Loan
exceeds Availability (after giving effect to such Swingline Loan). Swingline Loans may not be made if the Swingline Lender has been notified by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders that a Default exists and that Swingline Loans may not
be made. All Swingline Loans shall be ABR Borrowings. 
 (b) Upon the making of a Swingline Loan (whether before or after the occurrence of
a Default or an Event of Default and regardless of whether a Settlement has been requested with respect to such Swingline Loan), each Lender shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have unconditionally and irrevocably
purchased from the Swingline Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such Swingline Loan in proportion to its Applicable Percentage of the aggregate
Commitments. The Swingline Lender or the Administrative Agent may, at any time, require the Lenders to fund their participations. From and after the date, if any, on which any Lender is required to fund, and funds, its participation in any Swingline
Loan purchased hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to such Lender, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of all payments of principal and interest and all proceeds of Collateral received by the Administrative Agent in
respect of such Swingline Loan. 
 (c) The Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Swingline Lender, shall request settlement (a
“Settlement”) with the Lenders on at least a weekly basis or on any date that the Administrative Agent elects, by notifying the Lenders of such requested Settlement by facsimile, telephone or Electronic Transmission no later than
12:00 p.m., New York City time on the date of such requested Settlement (the “Settlement Date”). Each Lender (other than the Swingline Lender, in the case of the Swingline Loans) shall transfer the amount of such Lender’s
Applicable Percentage of the outstanding principal amount of the applicable Swingline Loan with respect to which Settlement is requested to the Administrative Agent, to such account of the Administrative Agent as the Administrative Agent may
designate, not later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on such Settlement Date. Settlements may occur during the existence of a Default or an Event of Default and whether or not the applicable conditions precedent set forth in
Section 4.02 have then been satisfied. Such amounts transferred to the Administrative Agent shall be applied against the amounts of the Swingline Lender’s Swingline Loans and, together with Swingline Lender’s Applicable
Percentage of such Swingline Loan, shall constitute Loans of such Lenders, respectively. If any such amount is not transferred to the Administrative Agent by any Lender on such Settlement Date, the Swingline Lender shall be entitled to recover such
amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon as specified in Section 2.07. 
 SECTION 2.06 Letters of
Credit. 
 (a) Issuance. 

(i) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Administrative Agent and Lenders agree to incur, from time to time prior to
the Maturity Date, upon the request of the Administrative Borrower and for a Borrower’s account, Letter of Credit Obligations by causing Letters of Credit to be issued by (i) Administrative Agent (or an Affiliate thereof), (ii) a
Lender (or an Affiliate thereof) selected by or acceptable to the Administrative 

  
 -49- 

 
Agent or (iii) a bank or other legally authorized Person selected by or acceptable to the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion and guaranteed by the Administrative Agent (or an
Affiliate thereof) (a “Letter of Credit Guaranty”) (each of (i) through (iii), an “Issuing Bank”). The aggregate amount of all such Letter of Credit Obligations shall not at any time exceed the least of
(A) Four Million Dollars ($4,000,000) (the “Letter of Credit Sublimit”), and (B) the aggregate Commitments less the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Loans and Swingline Loans, and (C) the Borrowing Base
less the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Loans and Swingline Loans. No such Letter of Credit shall have an expiry date that is more than one year following the date of issuance thereof, unless otherwise determined by Administrative
Agent in its sole discretion (including with respect to customary evergreen provisions), and neither Administrative Agent nor Lenders shall be under any obligation to incur Letter of Credit Obligations in respect of, or purchase risk participations
in, any Letter of Credit having an expiry date that is later than the Maturity Date (though, for the avoidance of doubt, such obligation shall in any event extend to a Letter of Credit that includes a customary evergreen provision that could cause
such expiry date to potentially extend beyond the Maturity Date). 
 (b) Advances Automatic; Participations. 

(i) In the event that the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank shall make any payment on or pursuant to any Letter of Credit Obligation,
such payment shall then be deemed automatically to constitute a Loan under Section 2.01 of this Agreement regardless of whether a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and notwithstanding the Borrowers’
failure to satisfy the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02, and each Lender shall be obligated to pay its Applicable Percentage thereof in accordance with this Agreement. The failure of any Lender to make available to the
Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank for Administrative Agent’s or Issuing Bank’s own account its Applicable Percentage of any such Loan or payment by Administrative Agent under or in respect of a Letter of Credit shall not relieve any
other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make available to Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank its Applicable Percentage thereof, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make available such other Lender’s
Applicable Percentage of any such payment. 
 (ii) If it shall be illegal or unlawful for any Borrower to incur Loans as contemplated by
Section 2.06(b)(i) because of an Event of Default described in Section 7.01(g), Section 7.01(h), Section 7.01(i) or otherwise, if it shall be illegal or unlawful for any Lender to be deemed to
have assumed a ratable share of the reimbursement obligations owed to an Issuing Bank, or if the Issuing Bank is a Lender, then (i) immediately and without further action whatsoever, each Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and
unconditionally purchased from Administrative Agent (or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be) an undivided interest and participation equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (based on the Commitments) of the Letter of Credit Obligations
in respect of all Letters of Credit then outstanding and (ii) thereafter, immediately upon issuance of any Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased from Administrative Agent (or such
Issuing Bank, as the case may be) an undivided interest and participation in such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (based on the Commitments) of the Letter of Credit Obligations with respect to such Letter of Credit on the date of such issuance.
Each Lender shall fund its participation in all payments or disbursements made under the Letters of Credit in the same manner as provided in this Agreement with respect to Loans. 

  
 -50- 

 (c) Cash Collateral. 

(i) If the Borrowers are required to provide cash collateral for any Letter of Credit Obligations pursuant to this Agreement prior to the
Maturity Date, the Borrowers will pay to Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of itself and Lenders cash or cash equivalents acceptable to Administrative Agent (“Cash Equivalents”) in an amount equal to 105% of the maximum
amount then available to be drawn under each applicable Letter of Credit outstanding. Such funds or Cash Equivalents shall be held by Administrative Agent in a cash collateral account (the “Cash Collateral Account”) maintained at a
bank or financial institution acceptable to Administrative Agent. The Cash Collateral Account shall be in the name of Administrative Borrower and shall be pledged to, and subject to the control of, Administrative Agent, for the benefit of
Administrative Agent and Lenders, in a manner satisfactory to Administrative Agent. Borrowers hereby pledge and grant to Administrative Agent, on behalf of itself and the Lenders, a security interest in all such funds and Cash Equivalents held in
the Cash Collateral Account from time to time and all proceeds thereof, as security for the payment of all amounts due in respect of the Letter of Credit Obligations and other Obligations, whether or not then due. This Agreement, including, without
limitation, this Section 2.06, shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law. 
 (ii) If any Letter of Credit
Obligations, whether or not then due and payable, shall for any reason be outstanding on the Maturity Date, Borrowers shall either (a) provide cash collateral therefore in the manner described above, (b) cause all such Letters of Credit
and guaranties thereof, if any, to be canceled and returned, or (c) deliver a stand-by letter (or letters) of credit in guarantee of such Letter of Credit Obligations, which stand-by letter (or letters) of credit shall be of like tenor and
duration (plus thirty (30) additional days) as, and in an amount equal to 105% of the aggregate maximum amount then available to be drawn under, the Letters of Credit to which such outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations relate and shall be
issued by a Person, and shall be subject to such terms and conditions, as are be satisfactory to Administrative Agent in its sole discretion. 

(iii) From time to time after funds are deposited in the Cash Collateral Account by the Borrowers, whether before or after the Maturity Date,
Administrative Agent may apply such funds or Cash Equivalents then held in the Cash Collateral Account to the payment of any amounts, and in such order as Administrative Agent may elect, as shall be or shall become due and payable by the Borrowers
to Administrative Agent and Lenders with respect to such Letter of Credit Obligations of the Borrowers and, upon the satisfaction in full of all Letter of Credit Obligations of the Borrowers, to any other Obligations then due and payable. 

(iv) Neither any Borrower nor any Person claiming on behalf of or through any Borrower shall have any right to withdraw any of the funds or
Cash Equivalents held in the Cash Collateral Account, except that upon the termination of all Letter of Credit Obligations and the payment of all amounts payable by the Borrowers to Administrative Agent and Lenders in respect thereof, any funds
remaining in the Cash Collateral Account shall be applied to other Obligations then due and owing and upon payment in full of such Obligations 

  
 -51- 

 
any remaining amount shall be paid to the Borrowers or as otherwise required by law. Interest earned on deposits in the Cash Collateral Account shall be held as additional Collateral for the
Obligations. 
 (d) Fees and Expenses. Each Borrower agrees to pay to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Lenders, as
compensation to such Lenders for Letter of Credit Obligations incurred hereunder, (i) all costs and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent or any Lender on account of such Letter of Credit Obligations, and (ii) for each month during
which any Letter of Credit Obligation shall remain outstanding, a fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) in an amount equal to the Applicable Margin from time to time in effect (subject to adjustment pursuant to
Section 2.13(d) of this Agreement) for Revolving Eurodollar Loans multiplied by the maximum amount available from time to time to be drawn under the applicable Letter of Credit. In addition, Borrower shall pay to any Issuing Bank, on
demand, such fees (including all per annum fees), charges and expenses of such Issuing Bank in respect of the issuance, negotiation, acceptance, amendment, transfer and payment of such Letter of Credit or otherwise payable pursuant to the
application and related documentation under which such Letter of Credit is issued. 
 (e) Request for Incurrence of Letter of Credit
Obligations. Borrowers shall give Administrative Agent at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice requesting the incurrence of any Letter of Credit Obligation. The notice shall be accompanied by the form of the Letter of
Credit (which shall be acceptable to the Issuing Bank) and an application therefor completed to the satisfaction of the Issuing Bank. 
 (f)
Obligation Absolute. The obligation of the Borrowers to reimburse Administrative Agent and Lenders for payments made with respect to any Letter of Credit Obligation shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, without necessity of
presentment, demand, protest or other formalities, and the obligations of each Lender to make payments to Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank, as applicable, with respect to Letters of Credit shall be unconditional and irrevocable. Such
obligations of the Borrowers and Lenders shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms hereof under all circumstances including the following: 

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any other agreement; 

(ii) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right that any Borrower or any of its Affiliates or any Lender may at any time have
against a beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Persons or entities for whom any such transferee may be acting), Administrative Agent, any Lender, or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the Letter of
Credit, the transactions contemplated herein or therein or any unrelated transaction (including any underlying transaction between Borrower or any of its Affiliates and the beneficiary for which the Letter of Credit was procured); 

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

  
 -52- 

 (iv) payment by the Administrative Agent (except as otherwise expressly provided in paragraph
(g)(ii)(c) below) or any Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit or guaranty thereof against presentation of a demand, draft or certificate or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit or such guaranty; 

(v) any other circumstance or event whatsoever, that is similar to any of the foregoing; or 

(vi) the fact that a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. 

(g) Indemnification; Nature of Lenders’ Duties. 

(i) In addition to amounts payable as elsewhere provided in this Agreement, each Borrower hereby agrees to pay and to protect, indemnify, and
save harmless Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Lender from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, charges and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and allocated costs of internal
counsel) that the Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank or any Lender may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of (A) the issuance of any Letter of Credit or guaranty thereof, or (B) the failure of the Administrative
Agent or any Lender seeking indemnification or of any Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under any Letter of Credit or guaranty thereof as a result of any act or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de
facto government or Governmental Authority, in each case other than to the extent as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank or such Lender (as finally determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction). 
 (ii) As between the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and any Lender, on one hand, and the Borrowers, the Borrowers
assume all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of any Letter of Credit by beneficiaries of any Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, to the fullest extent permitted by law none of the Administrative
Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender shall be responsible for: (A) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document issued by any party in connection with the application for an issuance of any Letter of
Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (B) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any
Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, that may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (C) failure of the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit to comply fully with conditions
required in order to demand payment under such Letter of Credit; provided, that in the case of any payment by Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit (or guaranty thereof), Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank shall be
liable to the extent such payment was made solely as a result of its gross negligence or willful misconduct (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction) in determining that the demand for payment under such Letter of Credit or
guaranty thereof complies on its face with any applicable requirements for a demand for payment under such Letter of Credit or guaranty thereof; (D) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by
mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise, whether or not they 

  
 -53- 

 
may be in cipher; (E) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (F) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a payment under any
Letter of Credit or guaranty thereof or of the proceeds thereof; (G) the credit of the proceeds of any drawing under any Letter of Credit or guaranty thereof; and (H) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of
Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank or any Lender. None of the above shall affect, impair, or prevent the vesting of any of Administrative Agent’s, Issuing Bank’s or any Lender’s rights or powers hereunder or under this Agreement. 

(iii) Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit or to expand any waivers, covenants, or indemnities made by the any Borrower in favor
of any Issuing Bank in any letter of credit application, reimbursement agreement or similar document, instrument or agreement between such Borrower and such Issuing Bank. 

(h) Subrogation Rights; Letter of Credit Guaranty. 

(i) Upon any payments made by Administrative Agent to an Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit Guaranty, the Administrative Agent, for the
benefit of the Lenders, shall acquire by subrogation, any rights, remedies, duties or obligations granted to or undertaken by the applicable Borrower to the Issuing Bank in any application for Letter of Credit, any standing agreement relating to
Letters of Credit or otherwise, all of which shall be deemed to have been granted to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, and apply in all respects to the Administrative Agent and shall be in addition to any rights, remedies, duties
or obligations contained herein. 
 (ii) Each Borrower hereby authorizes and directs any Issuing Bank which is not a Lender hereunder to
deliver to the Administrative Agent all instruments, documents, and other writings and property received by such Issuing Bank pursuant to such Letter of Credit and to accept and rely upon the Administrative Agent’s instructions with respect to
all matters arising in connection with such Letter of Credit and the related application. 
 (iii) Any and all charges, commissions, fees,
and costs incurred by the Administrative Agent relating to Letters of Credit issued by an Issuing Bank which is not a Lender hereunder in reliance on a Letter of Credit Guaranty shall be Letter of Credit Obligations for purposes of this Agreement
and immediately shall be reimbursable by Borrowers to Administrative Agent. 
 SECTION 2.07 Funding of Borrowings. 

(a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds
by 2:00 p.m., New York City time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders; provided that Swingline Loans shall be made as provided in Section 2.05. The
Administrative Agent will promptly make the proceeds of each such Loan available to the relevant Borrowers in like funds at the account of such Borrowers designated by the Administrative Borrower in the Borrowing Request; provided that a
Protective Advance may be retained by the Administrative Agent. 

  
 -54- 

 (b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the
proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in
accordance with Section 2.07(a) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrowers a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, then the Lender and the Borrowers severally agree to
pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrowers to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative
Agent, at (i) in the case of any Lender, the Federal Funds Effective Rate or (ii) in the case of the Borrowers, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall
constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. 
 SECTION 2.08 Interest Elections. 

(a) Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing,
shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrowers may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, may elect
Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section 2.08. The Borrowers may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the
Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. This Section 2.08 shall not apply to Swingline Borrowings or Protective Advances, which may not be
converted or continued. 
 (b) To make an election pursuant to this Section 2.08, the Administrative Borrower shall notify the
Administrative Agent of such election by telephone (or, if permitted by Administrative Agent, by request posted to Administrative Agent’s StuckeyNet system) by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03
if the Borrowers were requesting a Revolving Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic (or posted) Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed
promptly by hand delivery, facsimile or Electronic Transmission to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Administrative Borrower. 

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

  
 -55- 

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

 (iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such
election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period.” 
 If any such Interest Election Request requests
a Eurodollar Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrowers shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. 

(d) Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each affected Lender of the details
thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing. 
 (e) If the Administrative Borrower fails to deliver a timely
Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall
be converted to an ABR Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if a Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders so notifies the Administrative Borrower or if an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, then, so long as such Default or Event of Default is continuing (i) Administrative Borrower may not elect a Eurodollar Borrowing in any Borrowing Request, (ii) no outstanding Revolving Borrowing may be converted
to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing and (iii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto. 

SECTION 2.09 Termination or Reduction of Commitments. 

(a) Unless previously terminated, the Commitments shall automatically terminate on the Maturity Date. 

(b) The Borrowers may at any time terminate the Commitments upon (i) the payment in full of all outstanding Loans, together with accrued
and unpaid interest thereon, (ii) the cancellation and return of all outstanding Letters of Credit (or alternatively, with respect to each such Letter of Credit, the furnishing to the Administrative Agent of a cash deposit or standby letter(s)
of credit as required by Section 2.06(c)), (iii) the payment in full of the accrued and unpaid fees, including any payments required under Section 2.16, and (iv) the payment in full of all reimbursable expenses and
other Obligations together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon. 
 (c) The Borrowers may from time to time reduce the Commitments;
provided that (i) each reduction of the aggregate Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $1,000,000 and (ii) the Borrowers shall not reduce the Commitments if, (a) after
giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Loans in accordance with Section 2.10, the Aggregate Exposure would exceed the Borrowing Base then in effect or (b) after giving effect to such reduction, the aggregate Commitments
shall be less than $30,000,000. 

  
 -56- 

 (d) The Administrative Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to
terminate or reduce the Commitments under Sections 2.09(a), (b) or (c) at least three (3) Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective
date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the affected Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Administrative Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.09(d) shall be
irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Commitments delivered by the Administrative Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be
revoked by the Administrative Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the
Commitments shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments. 
 SECTION 2.10 Repayment of Loans;
Evidence of Debt. 
 (a) Each of the Borrowers hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of
each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Loan on the Maturity Date. Each of the Borrowers hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent the then unpaid amount of each Protective Advance on the earlier of the Maturity
Date and demand by the Administrative Agent. 
 (b) Unless an Event of Default is continuing, on each Business Day, at or before 12:00 noon,
New York City time, the Administrative Agent shall apply all immediately available funds credited to the Collection Account first, to prepay any Protective Advances that may be outstanding, pro rata, second, to prepay any Swingline
Loans that may be outstanding, pro rata, and third, to prepay the Loans made by Lenders, pro rata. 
 (c) Each Lender shall maintain
in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrowers to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender
from time to time hereunder. 
 (d) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each
Loan made hereunder, the Type thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrowers to each Lender hereunder, and (iii) the amount
of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof. 
 (e) The
entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to Section 2.10(d) shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the
Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrowers to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 

  
 -57- 

 (f) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such
event, each of the applicable Borrowers shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender or its registered assigns and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such
promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.05) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the payee named therein or its registered assigns except
to the extent that any such Lender subsequently returns any such promissory note for cancellation and requests that such Loans once again be evidenced as described in Sections 2.10(c) and (d). 

SECTION 2.11 Prepayment of Loans. 

(a) Voluntary Prepayments. The Borrowers shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in
part, subject to prior notice in accordance with Section 2.11(d) and the payment of the amounts required under Section 2.16. 

(b) Mandatory Prepayments. 

(i) The Borrowers shall immediately repay, or provide cash collateral for, the Loans, and/or Swingline Loans if at any time after the
Effective Date the Aggregate Exposure exceeds the lesser of (A) the Commitments and (B) the Borrowing Base then in effect, to the extent required to eliminate such excess. 

(ii) Immediately upon receipt by any Loan Party of the Net Cash Proceeds of any asset disposition (other than sales of Inventory or obsolete
or worn out property in the ordinary course of business), the Borrowers, shall prepay the Obligations, in an amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds as set forth in Section 2.11(c). 

(iii) If (A) at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default, any Borrower issues Capital Stock (other than Capital Stock
issued to another Loan Party), (B) any Loan Party issues Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness permitted by Sections 6.01(a) through (j) or (C) if any Loan Party receives any dividend or distribution from a Person
other than a Loan Party, then the Borrowers shall prepay the Obligations in an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds of such issuance or the amount of such dividend or distribution no later than the Business Day following the date of receipt
of such Net Cash Proceeds or such dividend or distribution as set forth in Section 2.11(c). 
 (iv) Immediately upon receipt by
any Loan Party of any Extraordinary Receipts, the Borrowers shall prepay the Obligations in an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds received by such Person in connection with such Extraordinary Receipts as set forth in
Section 2.11(c). Any insurance or condemnation proceeds to be applied to the Obligations in accordance with Section 5.09 shall be applied as set forth in Section 2.11(c). If the precise amount of insurance or
condemnation proceeds allocable to Inventory as compared to Equipment, fixtures and real or immovable property is not otherwise determined, the allocation and application of those proceeds shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, in its
Permitted Discretion. 

  
 -58- 

 (v) Without in any way limiting the foregoing, immediately upon receipt by any Loan Party of
proceeds of any sale of any Collateral, the Borrowers shall cause such Loan Party to deliver such proceeds to the Administrative Agent, or deposit such proceeds in a deposit account subject to a control agreement acceptable to the Administrative
Agent. Nothing in this Section 2.11(b) shall be construed to constitute the Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s consent to any transaction that is not permitted by other provisions of this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents. 
 (c) All such amounts required to be prepaid by the Borrowers pursuant to Sections 2.11(b)(ii), (iii), and
(iv) shall be applied as provided in Section 2.10(b). 
 (d) The Administrative Borrower shall notify the
Administrative Agent (and, in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, the applicable Swingline Lender) by telephone (confirmed by facsimile or Electronic Transmission) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a
Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three (3) Business Days before the date of prepayment, (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing (other than a Swingline Loan), not later than 11:00 a.m., New
York City time, one (1) Business Day before the date of prepayment and (iii) in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and
shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid; provided that, if a notice of prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Commitments as
contemplated by Section 2.09, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.09. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Borrowing, the
Administrative Agent shall advise the applicable Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Revolving Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Revolving Borrowing of the same Type as
provided in Section 2.02. Each prepayment of a Revolving Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by
Section 2.13. 
 SECTION 2.12 Fees. 

(a) The Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a commitment fee, which shall accrue at the
Applicable Rate per annum on the average daily amount of the Available Commitment during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the date on which such Lenders’ Commitments terminate. Accrued commitment fees shall be
payable in arrears on the first calendar day following each calendar quarter and on the date on which the Commitments terminate, commencing on the first such date to occur after the date hereof. All commitment fees in respect of Commitments shall be
payable in Dollars and shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days. 
 (b) The Borrowers agree
to pay the fees due and payable pursuant to the Fee Letter and fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Borrowers, the Lead Arranger and the Administrative Agent. 

  
 -59- 

 (c) In consideration of the issuance of any Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.06
hereof, the Borrower agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, the Letter of Credit Fee and (ii) to the Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank, as applicable, all other fees, expenses and amounts
payable under Sections 2.06(d) or (h). All Letter of Credit Guaranty Fees shall be due and payable monthly on the first day of each month. 

(d) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent (or to the Issuing
Bank, in the case of fees payable to it) for distribution, in the case of commitment fees and participation fees, to the Lenders entitled thereto. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances. 

SECTION 2.13 Interest. 

(a) The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing (including each Swingline Loan) shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable
Margin. 
 (b) The Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in
effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin. 
 (c) Each Protective Advance shall bear interest at the sum of the Alternate Base
Rate plus the Applicable Margin plus 2%. 
 (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing
under Section 7.01(g) or (h) or so long as any other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders elect, at their option, by notice to the Administrative Borrower (which
notice may be revoked at the option of the Required Lenders notwithstanding any provision of Section 9.03 requiring the consent of “each Lender affected thereby” for reductions in interest rates), the outstanding principal
amount of all Loans and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any interest payments thereon not paid when due and any fees and other amounts then due and payable hereunder, shall, commencing upon the occurrence of such Event of Default,
notwithstanding, if applicable, when such election is made, bear interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or other applicable bankruptcy laws) payable upon demand by the Administrative Agent at a rate
that is 2% per annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable under this Agreement with respect to the applicable Loans (or, in the case of any such fees and other amounts, at a rate which is 2% per annum in excess of the interest
rate otherwise payable under this Agreement for ABR Loans). 
 (e) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each
Interest Payment Date for such Loan, upon termination of the Commitments and on the Maturity Date; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to Section 2.13(d) shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any
repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR Loan prior to the end of the Availability Period), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment, and
(iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion. 

  
 -60- 

 (f) All interest and Letter of Credit Fees hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of
360 days, and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed. The applicable Alternate Base Rate or Adjusted LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

SECTION 2.14 Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing: 

(a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do
not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period; or 
 (b) the Administrative
Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its
Loan) included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period; 
 then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Administrative Borrower and the
Lenders by telephone or facsimile as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Administrative Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest
Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective, and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, such Borrowing
shall be made as an ABR Borrowing. 
 SECTION 2.15 Increased Costs. 

(a) If any Change in Law shall: 

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, liquidity requirement, deposit insurance or similar requirement against
assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate); or 

(ii) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such
Lender; 
 and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan (or of
maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), then the Borrowers will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. 

(b) If any Lender determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the
rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of 

  
 -61- 

 
this Agreement or the Loans made by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into
consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital or liquidity adequacy), then from time to time the Borrowers will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will
compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. 
 (c) A certificate of a Lender setting forth
the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as specified in Sections 2.15(a) or (b) shall be delivered to the Administrative Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The
Borrowers shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof. 
 (d)
Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.15 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrowers shall not be
required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Administrative Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased
costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to
above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. 
 SECTION 2.16 Break Funding Payments. In the event of
(a) the payment of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last
day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurodollar Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under
Section 2.11(d) and is revoked in accordance therewith), or (d) the assignment of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Administrative Borrower
pursuant to Section 2.19 or 9.03(e), then, in any such event, the Borrowers shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, such loss, cost or expense to
any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO
Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have
been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for
dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the Eurodollar market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.16 shall be
delivered to the Administrative Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The applicable Borrowers shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof. 

  
 -62- 

 SECTION 2.17 Taxes. 

(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Borrower or any other Loan Party under this Agreement or any other Loan
Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Taxes other than deductions on account of Taxes that are required by law; provided that (i) if any Borrowers or the Administrative Agent shall be required to deduct
any Indemnified Taxes from such payments, such Borrowers shall increase the sum payable by an amount equal to the sum of (x) the amount deducted in respect of such Indemnified Taxes and (y) all Taxes applicable to additional sums payable
under this Section 2.17(a), (ii) such Borrowers and/or the Administrative Agent shall make only such deductions required by law, and (iii) such Borrowers and/or the Administrative Agent shall pay the full amount deducted to the
relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 
 (b) In addition, each Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the
relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 
 (c) Each Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, and each
Lender, within ten (10) days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes and any other Taxes, in each case, paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment
by or on account of any obligation of such Borrower or any other Loan Party under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.17)
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. Such indemnification shall be made on an after-Tax
basis, such that the payment of the indemnification shall be increased by an amount equal to the sum of (x) the amount deducted in respect of such Indemnified Taxes, (y) all Taxes applicable to additional sums payable under this
Section 2.17(c) and (z) all reasonable expenses of the Administrative Agent or Lender. 
 (d) As soon as practicable after
any payment of either any Indemnified Taxes or any other Taxes by any Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the Administrative Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent (i) if reasonably available, the original or a certified copy of a
receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, (ii) a copy of the return reporting such payment or (iii) other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 

(e) Any Lender that is legally entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the
relevant Borrowers are located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Administrative Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), on or prior to the date on
which such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement (and on or before the date that any such documentation described below expires or becomes obsolete and after the occurrence of any event requiring a change to such documentation), such properly
completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by such Borrowers as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of 

  
 -63- 

 
withholding. Without limiting the foregoing, each Non-U.S. Lender shall comply with any certification, documentation, information or other reporting necessary to establish relief or an exemption
from withholding under FATCA and shall provide any other documentation reasonably requested by Loan Party or Administrative Agent sufficient for the Loan Party and Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine
that such Non-U.S. Lender has complied with such applicable reporting requirements. However, a Lender will only be required to comply with the provisions of this paragraph (i) as long as such Lender is legally entitled to do so and (ii) if
compliance with the provisions of this paragraph does not materially impact, in the sole discretion of such Lender, such Lender’s commercial position. 

(f) If the Administrative Agent or a Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund, whether in the form of a
payment, credit or offset (but only to the extent such credit or offset is actually utilized), of any Indemnified Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by any Borrowers or with respect to which any Borrowers have paid additional amounts pursuant
to Section 2.17(a) and no Event of Default is then continuing, it shall pay over such refund to such Borrowers (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Borrowers under this
Section 2.17 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses and Taxes of the Administrative Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid, credited or
allowed as an offset, by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund, which interest shall be paid to such Borrowers); provided, that such Borrowers, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agree to
repay the amount paid over to such Borrowers (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required
to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Nothing in this Section 2.17 shall be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information which it deems
confidential) to the Borrowers or any other Person. 
 SECTION 2.18 Payments Generally; Allocation of Proceeds; Sharing of Set-offs.

 (a) The Borrowers shall make each payment required to be made by them hereunder (whether of principal, interest or fees or of amounts
payable under Sections 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17, or otherwise) prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time
on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its
offices at 11 West 42nd St., New York, New York 10036 except payments to be made directly to the Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein and except that payments
pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.04 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto and payments pursuant to the other Loan Documents shall be made to the Persons specified therein. The
Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that
is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder shall

  
 -64- 

 
be made in Dollars. Checks and cash or other immediately available funds from collections of items of payment and proceeds of any Collateral shall be applied in whole or in part against the
Obligations, on the first Business Day following the day of receipt by the Administrative Agent, subject to actual collection. 
 (b)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, unless so directed by the Administrative Borrower, or unless a Default or an Event of Default is in existence, neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall apply any
payment which it receives to any Eurodollar Loan, except (a) on the expiration date of the Interest Period applicable to any such Eurodollar Loan, or (b) in the event, and only to the extent, that there are no outstanding ABR Loans and, in
any event, the applicable Borrowers shall pay the break funding payment required in accordance with Section 2.16. 
 (c) At the
election of the Administrative Agent, all payments of principal, interest, fees, premiums, reimbursable expenses (including, without limitation, all reimbursement for fees and expenses pursuant to Section 9.04), and other sums payable
under the Loan Documents, may be paid from the proceeds of Borrowings made hereunder whether made following a request by the Administrative Borrower pursuant to Section 2.03 or a deemed request as provided in this
Section 2.18 or may be deducted from any deposit account of the applicable Borrowers under the control of the Administrative Agent pursuant to a Blocked Account Agreement or other control agreement in form and substance satisfactory to
the Administrative Agent. The Borrowers hereby irrevocably authorize (i) the Administrative Agent to make a Borrowing for the purpose of paying each payment of principal, interest and fees as it becomes due hereunder or any other amount due
under the Loan Documents and agree that all such amounts charged shall constitute Loans (including Swingline Loans and Protective Advances) and that all such Borrowings shall be deemed to have been requested pursuant to Sections 2.03,
2.04 or 2.05, as applicable, and (ii) the Administrative Agent to charge any deposit account of the Borrowers maintained with the Administrative Agent for each payment of principal, interest and fees as it becomes due hereunder or
any other amount due under the Loan Documents. 
 (d) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set off or counterclaim or otherwise,
obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any
other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders
ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is
recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this subsection shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrowers
pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the
Borrowers or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this subsection shall apply). The Borrowers consent to the foregoing and agree, to the extent they may effectively do so under

  
 -65- 

 
applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrowers rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such
participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrowers in the amount of such participation. 
 (e) Unless the
Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Administrative Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank hereunder that the Borrowers will not make
such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the applicable Borrowers have made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the applicable Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the
case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the applicable Borrowers have not in fact made such payment, then each of such Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand
the amount so distributed to such Lender or the Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the
Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. 

(f) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.04(b), 2.05,
2.06(b), 2.07, 2.18(e) or 8.07, then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of
such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under any such Section until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid. 

SECTION 2.19 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if
the Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, then: 

(a) such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign
its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Sections 2.15 or
2.17, as the case may be, in the future, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender (and the Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and
expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment); and 
 (b) the Borrowers may, at their sole expense
and effort, require such Lender or any Defaulting Lender (such Lender or Defaulting Lender herein, a “Departing Lender”), upon notice from the Administrative Borrower to the Departing Lender and the Administrative Agent, to assign
and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.05), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations
(which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrowers shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank, which

  
 -66- 

 
consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) the Departing Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and Swingline Loans, accrued
interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the applicable Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts), and
(iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.15 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17, such assignment will result in a reduction in such
compensation or payments. A Departing Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrowers to require such
assignment and delegation cease to apply. 
 SECTION 2.20 Indemnity for Returned Payments. If after receipt of any payment which is
applied to the payment of all or any part of the Obligations, the Administrative Agent or any Lender is for any reason compelled to surrender such payment or proceeds to any Person because such payment or application of proceeds is invalidated,
declared fraudulent, set aside, determined to be void or voidable as a preference, impermissible setoff, or a diversion of trust funds, or for any other reason, then the Obligations or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and
continued and this Agreement shall continue in full force as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by the Administrative Agent or such Lender and the Borrowers shall be liable to pay to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and each
Borrower hereby indemnifies the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and holds the Administrative Agent and the Lenders harmless for the amount of such payment or proceeds surrendered. The provisions of this Section 2.20 shall be and
remain effective notwithstanding any contrary action which may have been taken by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in reliance upon such payment or application of proceeds, and any such contrary action so taken shall be without prejudice to
the Administrative Agent’s and the Lenders’ rights under this Agreement and shall be deemed to have been conditioned upon such payment or application of proceeds having become final and irrevocable. The provisions of this
Section 2.20 shall survive the termination of this Agreement. 
 SECTION 2.21 Defaulting Lenders. In the event that any
Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender: 
 (a) such
Defaulting Lender’s Commitment and outstanding Loans shall be excluded for purposes of calculating the fee payable to Lenders in respect of Section 2.12(a), and such Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to receive any fee
pursuant to Section 2.12(a) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment or Loans. 
 (b) the Commitments and Loans
of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether all Lenders or the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 9.03),
provided that any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of each affected Lender which affects such Defaulting Lender differently than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender. 

  
 -67- 

 (c) in the event a Defaulting Lender has defaulted on its obligation to fund any Loan, or
purchase any participation pursuant to Section 2.05(b) or Section 2.06(b) hereof, until such time as the Default Excess with respect to such Defaulting Lender has been reduced to zero, any prepayments or repayments on account
of the Loans or participations purchased pursuant to Section 2.05(b) or Section 2.06(b) shall be applied to the Loans and funded participations of other Lenders as if such Defaulting Lender had no Loans or funded
participations outstanding. 
 (d) If any Swingline Loans or Letter of Credit Obligations are outstanding at the time a Lender becomes a
Defaulting Lender then: 
 (i) all or any part of such Swingline Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations shall be reallocated among the
non-defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentage of the total Commitment provided that no Lender’s Exposure shall exceed its Commitment; 

(ii) if the reallocation described in paragraph (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrowers shall within one
Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent (A) first, prepay the amount of the Swingline Loans equal to Defaulting Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to paragraph
(i) above and (B) second, cash collateralize such Defaulting Lender’s Applicable Percentage of Letter of Credit Obligations (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to paragraph (i) above) in accordance with the
procedures set forth in Section 2.06(c) and for so long as any such Letter of Credit Obligations are outstanding; 
 (iii) if
the Borrowers cash collateralize any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Applicable Percentage of Letter of Credit Obligations pursuant to this Section 2.21(d), the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting
Lender pursuant to Section 2.06(d) with respect to the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Applicable Percentage of Letter of Credit Obligations which have been cash collateralized (and the Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to
receive any such fees); 
 (iv) if the Defaulting Lender’s Applicable Percentage of Letter of Credit Obligations are reallocated
pursuant to this Section 2.21, then the letter of credit fees payable to the non-defaulting Lenders pursuant to Section 2.06(d) shall be adjusted accordingly; and 

(v) if any Defaulting Lender’s Applicable Percentage of Letter of Credit Liabilities is not cash collateralized or reallocated pursuant
to this Section 2.21(d), then without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Bank hereunder, all letter of credit fees payable under Section 2.06(d) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Applicable
Percentage of Letter of Credit Obligations shall be payable to the Issuing Bank. 
 (e) So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the
Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, extend or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is reasonably satisfied that the related exposure will be 100% covered by the
Commitments of the non-defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral 

  
 -68- 

 
will be provided by the Borrowers in accordance with Section 2.06(c), and participating interests in any such newly issued, extended or increased Letter of Credit or newly made
Swingline Loan shall be allocated among non-defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.21(d)(i) (and Defaulting Lenders shall not participate therein). 

(f) In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately
remedied all matters which caused such Lender to become a Defaulting Lender, then the Applicable Percentages of Swingline Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s
Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders (other than Swingline Loans) or participations in the Loans as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to
hold such Loans or participations in accordance with its Applicable Percentage. 
 (g) The rights and remedies with respect to a Defaulting
Lender under this Section 2.21 are in addition to any other rights and remedies which the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as applicable, may have against such Defaulting Lender. 

ARTICLE III 

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES 

The Borrowers represent and warrant to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Bank that: 

SECTION 3.01 Organization; Powers. Each of the Loan Parties and each of its Subsidiaries is duly organized, validly existing and in
good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, has all requisite power and authority to own its properties and to carry on its business as now conducted and, except where the failure to so qualify could not reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, is qualified to do business in, and is in good standing in, every jurisdiction where such qualification is required. 

SECTION 3.02 Authorization; Enforceability. The Transactions are within each Loan Party’s corporate powers and have been duly
authorized by all necessary corporate and, if required, stockholder action. The Loan Documents to which each Loan Party is a party have been duly executed and delivered by such Loan Party and constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation of such
Loan Party, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of
whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law. 
 SECTION 3.03 Governmental Approvals; No Conflicts. The Transactions
(a) do not require any consent or approval of, registration or filing with, or any other action by, any Governmental Authority, except such as have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect and except any filings of the Mortgages
or any of the foregoing which are immaterial in nature and except for filings necessary to perfect Liens created under the Loan Documents, as contemplated by Section 3.16, (b) will not violate any applicable law or regulation or the
charter, 

  
 -69- 

 
by-laws or other organizational documents of any Loan Party or its Subsidiaries or any order of any Governmental Authority, (c) will not violate or result in a default under any material
indenture, agreement or other instrument binding upon any Loan Party or its Subsidiaries or its assets, or give rise to a right thereunder to require any payment to be made by any Loan Party or its Subsidiaries and (d) will not result in the
creation or imposition of any Lien on any asset of any Loan Party or its Subsidiaries except Liens created under the Loan Documents. 

SECTION 3.04 Financial Condition; No Material Adverse Change. 

(a) The Pro Forma Information (including the notes thereto), copies of which have heretofore been furnished to each Lender, has been prepared
giving effect (as if such events had occurred on such date) to (i) consummation of the Transactions, (ii) the Loans and other extensions of credit hereunder to be made on the Effective Date and the use of proceeds thereof and
(iii) the payment of fees and expenses in connection with the foregoing. The Pro Forma Information has been prepared based on good faith estimates and assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time made, it being recognized by the Lenders
that such information as to future events are not to be viewed as facts and that actual results during the period or periods covered by any such projections may differ materially from the projected results. 

(b) ICD has heretofore furnished to the Lenders (i) audited combined balance sheets of ICD as of each of the Fiscal Years ending in
December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2012 and the notes thereto and the related combined statements of operations, shareholders’ equity and cash flows of ICD for the Fiscal Years then ended and (ii) unaudited combined balance
sheets of ICD as of the Fiscal Quarter ending March 31, 2013 and the related combined statements of operations, shareholders’ equity and cash flows of ICD for the Fiscal Quarter then ended (subject to non-cash income adjustments related to
derivative liability with respect to Capital Stock of ICD consisting of warrants, tax liability and other items agreed to by the Administrative Agent). Such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position and
results of operations and cash flows of ICD as of such dates and for such periods in accordance with GAAP, subject to normal year-end audit adjustments and the absence of footnotes in the case of the statements referred to in clauses (ii) and
(iii) above. 
 (c) Since December 31, 2012, there has been no change in the business, assets, operations, prospects or condition,
financial or otherwise, of the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

SECTION 3.05 Intellectual Property. Each Loan Party and its Subsidiaries owns, or is licensed to use, all trademarks, tradenames,
copyrights, patents and other intellectual property necessary to the current and future anticipated conduct of the Loan Parties’ and their Subsidiaries’ business, a correct and complete list of which, as of the Effective Date and after
giving effect to the consummation of the Transactions, is set forth on Schedule 3.05, and the use thereof by the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries does not infringe in any material respect upon the rights of any other Person, and the
Loan Parties either (i) own the entire right, title and interest thereto or (ii) hold such interest pursuant to a valid, subsisting and enforceable license. 

  
 -70- 

 SECTION 3.06 Litigation. There are no actions, suits, proceedings or investigations by or
before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority pending against or, to the knowledge of any Loan Party, threatened against or affecting any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries (i) as to which there is a reasonable possibility of an adverse
determination and that, if adversely determined, could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) that involve this Agreement, any other Loan Document or the Transactions. 

SECTION 3.07 Compliance with Laws. Each Loan Party and each of its Subsidiaries is in compliance with all laws, regulations and orders
of any Governmental Authority applicable to it or its property, except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No Default has occurred and is continuing.

 SECTION 3.08 Investment and Holding Company Status. No Loan Party nor any of its Subsidiaries is, nor is controlled by a company
that is, an “investment company” as defined in, or subject to regulation under, the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. 

SECTION 3.09 Taxes. Except as disclosed on Schedule 3.09, each Loan Party and its Subsidiaries has timely filed or caused
to be filed all federal and other material Tax returns and reports required to have been filed by it and has paid or caused to be paid all Taxes required to have been paid by it, except (x) Taxes that are being Properly Contested and
(y) other Taxes not exceeding $250,000 in the aggregate the non-payment of which, in the aggregate, is not reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Except as disclosed on Schedule 3.09, no Tax liens have been
filed and no material claims have been asserted in writing with respect to any such Taxes. 
 SECTION 3.10 ERISA. 

(a) No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that, when taken together with all other such ERISA Events for which
liability is reasonably expected to occur, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The present value of all accumulated benefit obligations under each Plan (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did not, as of the date of the most recent financial statements reflecting such amounts, exceed by an amount that could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect the fair market value
of the assets of such Plan, and the present value of all accumulated benefit obligations of all underfunded Plans (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did not, as of the date of the
most recent financial statements reflecting such amounts, exceed by more than $250,000 the fair market value of the assets of all such underfunded Plans. 

(b) No Non-U.S. Plan has incurred any unfunded liability which could reasonably be expected to give rise to a Material Adverse Effect. 

(c) Except as required by applicable law, or which could not reasonably be expected to give rise to a Material Adverse Effect, neither the
Borrowers nor any Subsidiary thereof maintains, sponsors or contributes to any plan, policy or arrangement that provides medical benefits to retirees or their beneficiaries. 

  
 -71- 

 SECTION 3.11 Disclosure. Each Loan Party and its Subsidiaries have disclosed to the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders all agreements, instruments and corporate or other restrictions to which they are subject, and all other matters known to it, that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to result in a
Material Adverse Effect. None of the reports, financial statements, certificates or other information furnished by or on behalf of the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement or
delivered hereunder (as modified or supplemented by other information so furnished) contains any material misstatement of fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under
which they were made, not misleading; provided that, with respect to projected financial information, the Borrowers represent only that such projected statements are based on good faith estimates and assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time
made. 
 SECTION 3.12 Material Agreements. 

(a) As of the Effective Date, each Loan Party has provided to Administrative Agent or its counsel, on behalf of Lenders, accurate and complete
copies (or summaries) of all of the following agreements or documents to which it is subject (the “Material Agreements”) and each of which is listed in Schedule 3.12: (i) supply agreements and purchase agreements
not terminable by such Loan Party within sixty (60) days following written notice issued by such Loan Party and involving transactions in excess of $250,000 per annum; (ii) leases of equipment having a remaining term of one year or longer
and requiring aggregate rental and other payments in excess of $250,000 per annum; (iii) licenses and permits held by the Loan Parties, the absence of which could be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect; (iv) instruments and
documents evidencing any Indebtedness of such Loan Party in excess of $250,000 and any Lien granted by such Loan Party with respect thereto; (v) instruments and agreements evidencing the issuance of any equity securities, warrants, rights or
options to purchase equity securities of such Loan Party; (vi) its model turnkey contract and its daywork drilling contracts and (vii) any other agreement to which a Loan Party is a party in interest the absence of which could be
reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (b) Except as disclosed in Schedule 3.12, no material breach or material
default (or event or condition, which after notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute a material breach or material default) has occurred under (i) any material contract to which any Borrower is a party or (ii) any instrument or
agreement governing Material Indebtedness. 
 SECTION 3.13 Solvency. 

(a) Immediately after the consummation of the Transactions and immediately following the making of each Borrowing and the issuance of each
Letter of Credit, if any, and after giving effect to the application of the proceeds of such Borrowing or such issuance of a Letter of Credit, with respect to any Loan Party, (i) the fair value of the assets of each Loan Party, at a fair
valuation, will exceed its debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise; (ii) the present fair saleable value of the property of each Loan Party will be greater 

  
 -72- 

 
than the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability of its debts and other liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and other liabilities become absolute
and matured; (iii) each Loan Party will be able to pay its debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and liabilities become absolute and matured; and (iv) each Loan Party will not have unreasonably small
capital with which to conduct the businesses in which it is engaged as such businesses are now conducted and are proposed to be conducted after the date hereof. 

(b) No Loan Party intends to, or will permit any of its Subsidiaries to, and believes that it or any of its Subsidiaries will, incur debts
beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature, taking into account the timing of and amounts of cash to be received by it or any such Subsidiary and the timing of the amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of its Indebtedness or the
Indebtedness of any such Subsidiary. 
 SECTION 3.14 Capitalization and Subsidiaries. As of the Effective Date and after giving
effect to the consummation of the Transactions, Schedule 3.14 sets forth (a) a correct and complete list of the name and relationship to ICD of each and all of ICD’s Subsidiaries, (b) a true and complete listing of each
class of each Loan Party’s authorized Capital Stock, of which all of such issued shares are validly issued, outstanding, fully paid and non-assessable, and owned beneficially and of record by the Persons identified on Schedule 3.14,
and (c) the type of entity of each Loan Party and each of its Subsidiaries. All of the issued and outstanding Capital Stock owned by any Loan Party has been (to the extent such concepts are relevant with respect to such ownership interests)
duly authorized and issued and is fully paid and non-assessable. 
 SECTION 3.15 Common Enterprise. The successful operation and
condition of each of the Loan Parties is dependent on the continued successful performance of the functions of the group of the Loan Parties as a whole and the successful operation of each of the Loan Parties is dependent on the successful
performance and operation of each other Loan Party. Each Loan Party expects to derive benefit (and its board of directors or other governing body has determined that it may reasonably be expected to derive benefit), directly or indirectly, from
(i) successful operations of each of the other Loan Parties, and (ii) the credit extended by the Lenders to the Borrowers hereunder, both in their separate capacities and as members of the group of companies. Each Loan Party has determined
that execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement and any other Loan Documents to be executed by such Loan Party is within its purpose, will be of direct and indirect benefit to such Loan Party, and is in its best interest. 

SECTION 3.16 Security Interest in Collateral. The provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents will, when executed and
delivered, create legal and valid Liens on all the Collateral in favor of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties, and (upon the filing of UCC financing statements in the jurisdictions listed on
Schedule 3.16, the filing, recording or registering of financing statements or analogous documents under other applicable personal property security laws in the jurisdictions listed on Schedule 3.16, the recording of the
Mortgages in the offices listed on Schedule 3.16, the filing of the Patent Security Agreement and Trademark Security Agreement with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and the filing of the Copyright Security Agreement with the United
States Copyright Office) such Liens constitute perfected and continuing Liens on the Collateral, securing the Obligations, enforceable against the applicable Loan Party and all third parties, and 

  
 -73- 

 
having priority over all other Liens on the Collateral except for (a) Permitted Encumbrances, to the extent any such Permitted Encumbrances would have priority over the Liens in favor of the
Collateral Agent pursuant to any applicable law, and (b) Liens perfected only by possession (including possession of any certificate of title) to the extent the Collateral Agent has not obtained or does not maintain possession of such
Collateral. 
 SECTION 3.17 Labor Matters. As of the Effective Date and after giving effect to the consummation of the Transactions
(a) except as set forth on Schedule 3.17, there is no collective bargaining agreement or other material labor contract covering employees of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries, (b) no union or other labor organization is
seeking to organize, or to be recognized as, a collective bargaining unit of employees of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries or for any similar purpose, and (c) there is no pending or (to the best of the Borrowers’ knowledge)
threatened, strike, work stoppage, material unfair labor practice claim, or other material labor dispute against or affecting any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries or employees. 

SECTION 3.18 Affiliate Transactions. Except for the Contribution Documentation and as set forth on Schedule 3.18, as of the
Effective Date and after giving effect to the consummation of the Transactions, there are no existing or proposed agreements, arrangements, understandings, or transactions between any Loan Party and any Affiliates (other than Subsidiaries) of any
Loan Party or any members of their respective immediate families. 
 SECTION 3.19 Contribution Documentation. The Borrowers have
delivered to the Administrative Agent true, complete and correct copies of the Contribution Documentation (including all schedules, exhibits, annexes, amendments, supplements, modifications and all other documents delivered pursuant thereto or in
connection therewith). The Contribution Documentation as originally executed and delivered by the parties thereto has not been amended, waived, supplemented or modified in any material respect without the consent of the Administrative Agent. On the
Effective Date and after giving effect to the consummation of the Transactions, none of the Loan Parties or any other party to any of the Contribution Documentation is in default in the performance of or compliance with any provisions under the
Contribution Documentation. The Contribution Transaction, including, without limitation, the contribution of certain assets to ICD as contemplated by the Contribution Agreement, was consummated on March 2, 2012 (the “Contribution
Transaction Closing Date”). To the best of each Loan Party’s knowledge, none of the “Fundamental GES Representations” (as defined in the Contribution Agreement) contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted any
fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case, as of the Contribution Transaction Closing Date. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.19, each of the representations and warranties given by each applicable Loan Party
in the Contribution Documentation is true and correct in all material respects as of the Effective Date.

leased) lessee or other user thereof. Each of such leases and subleases is valid and enforceable in accordance with its terms (except as such enforceability may be subject to or limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar
laws) and is in full force and effect, and to each Loan Party’s knowledge, no default by any party to any material lease or material sublease exists. 

(b) Except as set forth on Schedule 3.21 as of the Effective Date, no Loan Party owns or holds, or is obligated under, subject to

(c) No Loan Party has caused or suffered to occur a Release of Hazardous Materials on, at, in, under, above, to, or from any real or immovable
property of any Loan Party and each such real or immovable property is free of contamination by any Hazardous Materials except for such Release or contamination that could not reasonably be expected to result, in the aggregate, in a Material Adverse
Effect. 
 (d) No Loan Party, or to its knowledge, any corporate predecessor, (i) is or has been engaged in operations, or
(ii) knows of any facts, circumstances or conditions, 

  
 -75-

resulting in Environmental Liabilities, except as could not reasonably be expected to result, in the aggregate, in a Material Adverse Effect. 

(e) Each Loan Party has made available to the Administrative Agent copies of the environmental reports, reviews and audits and other documents
pertaining to actual or potential Environmental Liabilities set forth on Schedule 3.22.

Schedule correctly identifies the name of each depository, the name in which the account is held, a description of the purpose of the account and the complete account number therefor. 

SECTION 3.25 Customer and Trade Relations. As of the Effective Date, there exists no actual or, to the knowledge of any Loan Party,
threatened termination or cancellation of, or any material adverse modification or change in the business relationship of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries with any customer or group of customers whose purchases during the preceding twelve
(12) months caused them to be ranked among the ten largest customers of such Loan Party or Subsidiary; or the business relationship of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries with any supplier material to its operations. 

SECTION 3.26 Patriot Act. Each Loan Party is in compliance, in all material respects, with the (i) the 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 (ii) the
Uniting And Strengthening America By Providing Appropriate Tools Required To Intercept And Obstruct Terrorism (USA Patriot Act of 2001). No part of the proceeds of the Loans will be used, directly or indirectly, for any payments to any governmental
official or employee, political party, official of a political party, candidate for political office, or anyone else acting in an official capacity, in order to obtain, retain or direct business or obtain any improper advantage, in violation of the

county and state), (c) a notation of whether or not the Rig is operating under a drilling contract at a customer’s working job site and (d) whether such Rig is covered or required to be covered by a certificate of title and the state

otherwise agreed to by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to enter on such property and to remove such Rigs therefrom without interference from, or imposition
of any Lien on, such Rig by any owner, landlord, tenant or other Person with an interest in such property. Each Rig (i) constitutes goods which are movable, of a type normally used in more than one jurisdiction and not designed to be
permanently used in any one location; and (ii) is not a fixtures under the laws of any jurisdiction in which any such Rig is located. Each Rig is neither a “motor vehicle” nor property of the type such that the perfection of a Lien
with respect to such Rig would be governed by a certificate-of-title statute and would not be governed exclusively by the UCC. Each Borrower has delivered to the Administrative Agent true, correct and complete copies of its model turnkey contract
and its daywork drilling contracts. Each Borrower represents and warrants that such contracts are not and will not constitute chattel paper or instruments.

not, and will not permit any other Loan Party and its Subsidiaries to, use or permit any property to be used in any manner which would be reasonably likely to render inapplicable any insurance coverage. The Borrowers will cause any insurance or
condemnation proceeds received by any Loan Party to be immediately forwarded to the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Agent shall remit such proceeds to the Administrative Agent to be applied to the reduction of the Obligations in accordance with
Section 2.10(b). Original policies or certificates thereof reasonably satisfactory to the Agents evidencing such insurance shall be delivered to the Agents at least 30 days prior to the expiration of the existing or preceding policies.
For the avoidance of doubt, if any portion of the Collateral is located in an area identified by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as an area having special flood hazards and in which flood insurance has been made available under the National
Flood Insurance Act of 1968 (or any amendment or successor act thereto) for which the applicable Loan Party is eligible, then such Loan Party will maintain with a financially sound and reputable insurer, flood insurance in an amount sufficient to
comply with applicable rules and regulations promulgated pursuant to such Act. 
 SECTION 5.10 Appraisals. At any time that the
Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent requests, each Borrower will, and will cause each other Loan Party to, at the sole expense of the Loan Parties, provide the Agents with appraisals or updates thereof of their Rigs from an appraiser selected
and engaged by the Agents, and prepared on a basis satisfactory to the Agents, such appraisals and updates to include, without limitation, information required by applicable law and regulations; provided, however, if no Default or
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, only two (2) such appraisals or updates per calendar year shall be conducted at Borrowers’ expense; provided, further, that either Agent may require appraisals or
updates more frequently at its own expense (and Borrowers shall cooperate in the completion of such appraisals and updates). Any access required to complete any appraisal made pursuant to this Section 5.10 shall not constitute an
“inspection” for purposes of Section 5.06. 
 SECTION 5.11 Additional Collateral; Further Assurances. 

(a) The Borrowers will, unless the Required Lenders otherwise consent, cause each subsidiary of any Loan Party (excluding any Non-U.S.
Subsidiary) formed or acquired after the date of this Agreement in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to become a Borrower 

  
 -88- 

 
by executing this Agreement through a joinder agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. Upon execution and delivery thereof, each such Person
(i) shall automatically become a Loan Party hereunder and thereupon shall have all of the rights, benefits, duties, and obligations in such capacity under the Loan Documents, and (ii) will grant Liens to the Collateral Agent, for the
benefit of the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties, in any property of such Loan Party which constitutes Collateral. 
 (b) Each
Borrower will, and will cause each other Loan Party to cause (i) 100% of the issued and outstanding Capital Stock of each of its Subsidiaries (other than its Non-U.S. Subsidiaries) to be subject at all times to a first priority, perfected Lien
(subject to Permitted Encumbrances) in favor of the Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents or other security documents as the Collateral Agent shall reasonably request, and (ii) 65% of the issued and
outstanding Capital Stock entitled to vote (within the meaning of Treas. Reg. Section 1.956-2(c)(2)) and 100% of the issued and outstanding Capital Stock not entitled to vote (within the meaning of Treas. Reg. Section 1.956-2(c)(2)) in
each Non-U.S. Subsidiary directly owned by any Borrower or any Subsidiary to be subject at all times to a first priority, perfected Lien (subject to Permitted Encumbrances) in favor of the Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms and conditions of the
Loan Documents or other security documents as the Collateral Agent shall reasonably request; provided that if, as a result of a change in applicable law after the date hereof, a pledge of a greater percentage than 65% of the issued and
outstanding Capital Stock entitled to vote (within the meaning of Treas. Reg. Section 1.956-2(c)(2)) could not reasonably be expected to cause (1) undistributed earnings of such Non-U.S. Subsidiary (as determined for federal income tax
purposes) to be treated as a deemed dividend to such Non-U.S. Subsidiary’s domestic parent or (2) other material adverse tax consequences, then the Borrowers will take steps to cause such greater percentage to be subject to a first
priority, perfected Lien (subject to Permitted Encumbrances) in favor of the Collateral Agent. 
 (c) Without limiting the foregoing, each
Borrower will, and will cause each other Loan Party and each subsidiary of a Loan Party which is required to become a Loan Party pursuant to the terms of this Agreement to, execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, to the Agents
such documents and agreements, and will take or cause to be taken such actions as any Agent may, from time to time, reasonably request to carry out the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including but not limited to
all items of the type required by Section 4.01 (as applicable). 
 (d) If any Loan Party proposes to acquire a fee ownership
interest in real property after the date of this Agreement (to the extent such acquisition is permitted hereunder), if an Event of Default is continuing or if Availability is ever less than $6,000,000, each Borrower will, and will cause each other
Loan Party to, provide to the Collateral Agent (upon the Administrative Agent’s request, which request may be made at the Administrative Agent’s sole option) a mortgage or deed of trust granting the Collateral Agent a first priority Lien
on its real property, together with environmental audits, mortgage title insurance commitment, real property survey, local counsel opinion(s), and, if required by the Collateral Agent, supplemental casualty insurance and flood insurance, and such
other documents, instruments or agreements reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent, in each case, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent.

 SECTION 5.12 Cash Management. 

(a) Each Loan Party shall (i) instruct all Account Debtors of such Loan Party to remit all payments in respect of any Account on which
such Account Debtor is obligated to a “P.O. Box” or “Lockbox Address” associated with a deposit account subject to a Blocked Account Agreement (each, a “Payment Account”), which remittances shall be collected by
the depository institution at which such “P.O. Box” or “Lockbox Address” is maintained and deposited in such Payment Account, (ii) except with respect to Excluded Accounts, Transition Accounts and the Operating
Account, cause each deposit account held by such Loan Party (including, without limitation, each Payment Account) to become subject to a Blocked Account Agreement pursuant to which (without limiting the terms thereof) all amounts on deposit and
available at the close of each Business Day in such deposit account shall be swept to an account designated by the Collateral Agent (the “Collection Account”), with such sweep instructions to be irrevocable unless otherwise agreed
to by the Collateral Agent and (iii) cause the Operating Account to become subject to a Blocked Account Agreement pursuant to which (without limiting the terms thereof) the Collateral Agent may, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of
an Event of Default, exercise full dominion over such account and sweep all funds on deposit therein to the Collection Account. Without limiting the foregoing, all amounts received by a Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in respect of any deposit
account (or by the depository institution at which such account is held), in addition to all other cash received from any other source, shall upon receipt be deposited into such deposit account. Each Loan Party agrees that it will not cause proceeds
of any deposit accounts to be otherwise redirected. 
 (b) All collected amounts received in the Collection Account shall be distributed and
applied on a daily basis in accordance with Section 2.10(b). 
 (c) If any cash or cash equivalents owned by any Loan Party
(other than (i) de minimis cash or cash equivalents from time to time inadvertently misapplied by any Loan Party, (ii) any funds which are held by any Borrower and any of their respective Subsidiaries on behalf of any customer in the
ordinary course of business and (iii) any funds which are held by any Borrower and any of their respective Subsidiaries in an Excluded Account or, subject to the terms of this Agreement, a Transition Account, in each case, in the ordinary
course of business) are deposited to any account, or held or invested in any manner, otherwise than in a deposit account subject to a Blocked Account Agreement in compliance with Section 5.12(a), then the Collateral Agent shall be
entitled to require the applicable Loan Party to close such account and have all funds therein transferred to an account subject to a Blocked Account Agreement in compliance with Section 5.12(a), and to cause all future deposits to be
made to such account. 
 (d) The Collection Account shall at all times be under the sole dominion and control of the Collateral Agent. Each
Loan Party hereby acknowledges and agrees that (x) such Loan Party has no right of withdrawal from the Collection Account, (y) the funds on deposit in the Collection Account shall at all times continue to be collateral security for all of
the obligations of the Loan Parties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and (z) the funds on deposit in the Collection Account shall be applied as provided in this Agreement. In the event that, notwithstanding the provisions of this
Section 5.12, any Loan Party receives or otherwise has dominion and control of any proceeds or collections required to be transferred to the Collection Account, such proceeds and collections shall be held in trust by such Loan Party for

  
 -90- 

 
the Collateral Agent, shall not be commingled with any of such Loan Party’s other funds or deposited in any account of such Loan Party and shall promptly be deposited into the Collection
Account or dealt with in such other fashion as such Loan Party may be instructed by the Collateral Agent. 
 SECTION 5.13 Environmental
Matters. The Borrowers shall promptly notify the Lenders of any Release that triggers reporting obligations under any applicable Environmental Laws. In the event of such a Release, at the request of the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers, at
their own expense, shall provide to the Lenders within ninety (90) days after the Release an environmental site assessment report of the property(ies) where such a Release has taken place or that has otherwise been impacted by the Release, by
an environmental consulting firm chosen by the Borrowers and reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, addressing the Release, the proposed cleanup, response or remedy and the associated cost. Not limiting the generality of the immediately
preceding two sentences, if the Administrative Agent determines that a material environmental risk exists, the Administrative Agent may independently retain an environmental consulting firm to conduct an environmental site assessment of the
property(ies) and the Borrowers hereby grant, and agree to cause any Subsidiary that owns such property(ies) to grant, access to the property(ties) upon reasonable notice to the Administrative Borrower, subject to the rights of tenants, during
normal business hours, provided, however, that no testing, sampling or other invasive investigation shall be performed as part of such environmental site assessment. 

SECTION 5.14 Post-Closing Obligations. The Loan Parties shall comply with each requirement set forth on Schedule 5.14 on or
before the date referred to therein (or within such longer period as Administrative Agent may agree at its sole option) with respect to such requirement.

(iii) require the Loan Parties to furnish cash collateral in an amount equal to 105% of the aggregate face amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit Obligations to be held and applied in accordance with Section 2.06(c). In case of

agreement contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any instrument pursuant to which the Obligations are evidenced, and, if such amount shall have become due, by declaration or otherwise, proceed to enforce the payment thereof or
any other legal or equitable right of the Loan Parties. No remedy herein or in any Loan Document is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy and each and every remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given
hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or any other provision of law. 
 SECTION 7.03 Application of
Funds. After (i) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (ii) the exercise of remedies provided for in this Article VII (or after the Loans have automatically become immediately due and payable and the Letter of
Credit Obligations have automatically been required to be cash collateralized as set forth in Section 7.01), any amounts received on account of the Obligations shall be applied by the Administrative Agent in the following order:

 The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have the continuing and
exclusive right to apply and reverse and reapply any and all such proceeds and payments to any portion of the Obligations owing to the Administrative Agent and Lenders. All amounts owing under this Agreement in respect of such Obligations including
fees, interest, default interest, interest on interest, expense reimbursements and indemnities, shall be payable in accordance with the foregoing waterfall provisions irrespective of whether a claim in respect of such amounts is allowed or allowable
in any insolvency proceeding. Administrative Agent’s calculation of the allocation of amounts under the foregoing clauses shall be conclusive and binding upon Secured Parties absent manifest error. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Banking Services Obligations and Swap Obligations shall be excluded from the application described above or any
other application of proceeds set forth in the Loan Documents, if the Administrative Agent has not received written notice thereof, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the provider of the same.

 ARTICLE VIII 

THE AGENTS 
 SECTION
8.01 Appointment and Authorization. Each Lender hereby designates and appoints each of the Agents as its agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes each Agent to take such action on
its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with such powers
as are reasonably incidental thereto. Each Agent agrees to act as such on the express conditions contained in this Article VIII. The provisions of this Article VIII are solely for the benefit of the Agents and the Lenders and
the Borrowers shall have no rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions contained herein. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, the Agents shall not have
any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall the Agents 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 the Agents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agents” in this Agreement with reference to the
Agents 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

  
 -105- 

 
intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. Except as expressly otherwise provided in this Agreement, 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 which such Agent is expressly entitled to take or assert under this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents, including (a) the determination of the applicability of ineligibility criteria and other determinations with respect to the calculation of the Borrowing Base, (b) the making of Protective Advances pursuant to
Section 2.04, and (c) the exercise of remedies pursuant to Article VII, and any action so taken or not taken shall be deemed consented to by the Lenders. 

SECTION 8.02 Delegation of Duties. Each Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by or
through agents, employees, attorneys-in-fact or through its Related Parties and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. Neither Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any
agent, employee, attorney-in-fact or Related Party that it selects as long as such selection was made without gross negligence or willful misconduct. 

SECTION 8.03 Liability of the Agents. None of the Agents or any of their respective Related Parties shall 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, and each Loan Party and Secured Party hereby waives and agrees not to assert any right, claim
or cause of action based thereon, except to the extent of liabilities resulting primarily from its own gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein, as finally determined in a non-appealable
decision of a court of competent jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Agents or any of their respective Related Parties shall be: (i) responsible to any other Secured Party for the due execution, validity, genuineness,
effectiveness, sufficiency, or enforceability of, or for any recital, statement, warranty or representation in, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement, document or order; (ii) required to ascertain or to make any
inquiry concerning the performance or observance by any Loan Party of any of the terms, conditions, covenants, or agreements of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents; (iii) responsible to any other Secured Party for the state or condition
of any properties of the Loan Parties constituting Collateral for the Obligations or any information contained in the books or records of the Loan Parties; (iv) responsible to any other Secured Party for the validity, enforceability,
collectability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any other certificate, document or instrument furnished in connection therewith; or (v) responsible to any other Secured Party for the validity,
priority or perfection of any Lien securing or purporting to secure the Obligations or for the value or sufficiency of any of the Collateral. 

SECTION 8.04 Reliance by the Agents. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing,
resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, Electronic Transmission, telegram, facsimile, 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, without limitation, counsel to any Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by such Agent. Each Agent shall be fully
justified in 

  
 -106- 

 
failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it deems appropriate
and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Each 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 (or all Lenders if so required by Section 9.03) and such request
and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all of the Lenders. 
 SECTION 8.05 Notice of Default.
Neither Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, unless such Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or a Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or
Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” The Administrative Agent will notify the Lenders of its receipt of any such notice. The Agents 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 7.01; provided, however, that unless and until an Agent has received any such request, such 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. 
 SECTION 8.06 Credit
Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that none of the Agents or any of their respective Related Parties has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by an Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the
Borrowers and their Affiliates, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by such Agent or Related Parties to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Agents that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or
Related Party and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition, and creditworthiness of the
Borrowers and their Affiliates, 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 the Borrowers. Each Lender also represents that
it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or Related Party and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals, and decisions in taking or not
taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition, and creditworthiness of the
Borrowers. Except for notices, reports, and other documents expressly herein required to be furnished to the Lenders by an Agent, neither Agent shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information
concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition, or creditworthiness of any Borrower which may come into the possession of any of such Agent or its Related Parties. 

SECTION 8.07 Indemnification. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Lenders agree to indemnify each
Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Loan Parties and without limiting the obligations of the Loan Parties hereunder), ratably according to their respective Applicable Percentages of the Aggregate Exposure, from and against any and all
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, 

  
 -107- 

 
actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against any Agent in any way relating to or arising
out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any action taken or omitted to be taken by any Agent in connection therewith; provided, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. If any indemnity furnished to an
Agent or any other such Person for any purpose shall, in the opinion of such Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, such Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional
indemnity is furnished. Without limiting the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse each Agent promptly upon demand, ratably according to its Applicable Percentage of the Aggregate Exposure, for any out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable
counsel fees) 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 and each other Loan Document, to the extent that such Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by the Loans Parties. The undertaking in this Section shall survive the payment of all Obligations
hereunder and the resignation of any Agent. 
 SECTION 8.08 The Agents in Individual Capacity. The financial institutions serving as
Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent 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 any Borrower and its Affiliates as though they were not Agents hereunder and without notice to or consent of the Lenders. The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, such financial
institutions or their respective Affiliates may receive information regarding any Borrower or its Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of any such Borrower or such Affiliate) and acknowledge
that neither such Agent nor such financial institution shall be under any obligation to provide such information to the Lenders. With respect to its Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans hereunder, such financial
institutions shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” include such financial institutions in
their individual capacities. 
 SECTION 8.09 Successor Agents. 

(a) Any Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Administrative Borrower. Upon any such
resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent. If no successor agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring
Agent gives notice of resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent which shall be any Lender or a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States of America or any political subdivision
thereof which has combined capital and reserves in excess of $250,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as an Agent hereunder, such successor agent shall thereupon succeed to and become 

  
 -108- 

 
vested with all the rights, powers, privileges, duties and obligations of the retiring Agent and the term “Administrative Agent,” “Collateral Agent,” or “Agents,” as
the case may be, shall mean such successor agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents. After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this
Article VIII shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as an Agent. Any resignation by CIT Finance LLC as Administrative Agent pursuant to this
Section 8.09(a) shall also constitute its resignation as the Collateral Agent, as a Swingline Lender and as the Issuing Bank, unless otherwise specifically stated in writing by CIT Finance LLC at its sole option. 

(b) If within forty-five (45) days after written notice is given of the retiring Agent’s resignation under this
Section 8.09 no successor Agent shall have been appointed and shall have accepted such appointment, then on such 45th day (or such later date as such retiring Agent may in its sole
discretion notify the Lenders and the Administrative Borrower) (i) the retiring Agent’s resignation shall become effective, (ii) the retiring Agent shall thereupon be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents
and (iii) the Required Lenders shall thereafter perform all duties of the retiring Agent under the Loan Documents until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided above. After any retiring Agent’s
resignation hereunder as Agent shall have become effective, the provisions of this Article VIII 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. 

SECTION 8.10 Collateral Matters. 

(a) The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Collateral Agent, at its option and in its sole discretion, to release any Lien upon any
Collateral and to terminate any guarantee (i) upon the termination of the Commitments and payment and satisfaction in full of all Loans and reimbursement obligations in respect of Letters of Credit, and the termination of all outstanding
Letters of Credit (whether or not any of such obligations are due) and all other Obligations (other than contingent indemnification and expense reimbursement obligations for which no claim has been made); (ii) constituting property being sold
or disposed of if the Loan Party disposing of such property certifies to the Collateral Agent that the sale or disposition is made in compliance with Section 6.03 (and the Collateral Agent may rely conclusively on any such certification
without further inquiry); (iii) constituting property in which no Loan Party owned any interest at the time the Lien was granted or at any time thereafter; (iv) constituting property leased to a Loan Party under a lease which has expired
or been terminated in a transaction permitted under this Agreement; or (v) pursuant to Section 8.10(b). Except as provided above, the Collateral Agent will not release any of its Liens without the prior written authorization of the
Lenders (as required by Section 9.03); provided that the Collateral Agent may, in its discretion, release the Collateral Agent’s Liens on Collateral valued in the aggregate not in excess of $250,000 during each Fiscal Year
without the prior written authorization of any Lender. Upon request by the Collateral Agent or the Borrowers at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing the Collateral Agent’s authority to release any Collateral Agent’s Liens upon
particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 8.10. 
 (b) In the event that any Loan Party conveys, sells,
leases, assigns, transfers or otherwise disposes of all or any portion of any of the Capital Stock or assets of a Loan Party to a 

  
 -109- 

 
person that is not (and is not required to become) a Loan Party, in each case in a transaction not prohibited by Section 6.03 and so long no Event of Default is then continuing
or would result therefrom, the Collateral Agent shall promptly (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Collateral Agent to) take such action and execute any such documents as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Borrower and at the
Administrative Borrower’s expense to release, share or subordinate any Liens created by any Loan Document in respect of such assets or Capital Stock, and, in the case of a disposition of the Capital Stock of any Subsidiary that is a Loan Party
in a transaction not prohibited by Section 6.03 and as a result of which such Subsidiary would cease to be a Loan Party, thus terminating such Subsidiary’s Guaranty obligation under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement (other than
with respect to obligations that expressly survive a termination); provided, however, that (i) the Collateral Agent shall not be required to execute any such document on terms which, in the Collateral Agent’s reasonable
opinion, would expose the Collateral Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such Liens without recourse or warranty, and (ii) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect, or
impair the Obligations or any Liens (other than those expressly being released) upon (or obligations of the Borrowers in respect of) all interests retained by the Borrowers, including the proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to
constitute part of the Collateral. In addition, the Collateral Agent agrees to take such actions as are reasonably requested by the Administrative Borrower and at the Administrative Borrower’s expense to terminate the Liens and security
interests created by the Loan Documents when all the Obligations (other than in respect of contingent indemnification and expense reimbursement obligations for which no claim has been made) are paid in full and all Letters of Credit and Commitments
are terminated, and upon receipt by the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Agents and Lenders, of liability releases from the Loan Parties in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. Any representation, warranty or covenant
contained in any Loan Document relating to any such Capital Stock, asset or Subsidiary of the Administrative Borrower shall no longer be deemed to be made once such Capital Stock or asset is so conveyed, sold, leased, assigned, transferred or
disposed of. Upon any release or termination in connection with the foregoing, the Collateral Agent shall (and is hereby authorized by the Lenders to) execute such documents as may reasonably requested by the Administrative Borrower to evidence the
release of the Collateral Agent’s Liens upon such Collateral all without recourse or warranty. Notwithstanding the foregoing or the payment in full of the Obligations, Collateral Agent shall not be required to terminate its Liens in the
Collateral unless, with respect to any loss or damage Agents may incur as a result of dishonored checks or other items of payment received by Agents from any Borrower or any Account Debtor and applied to the Obligations, Agents shall, at their
option, (i) have received a written agreement satisfactory to Agents, executed by Administrative Borrower and by any Person whose loans or other advances to Borrowers are used in whole or in part to satisfy the Obligations, indemnifying the
Agents and each Lender from any such loss or damage or (ii) have retained cash Collateral or other Collateral for such period of time as the Agents, in their reasonable discretion, may deem necessary to protect the Agent and each Lender from
any such loss or damage. 
 (c) The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any of the Lenders to assure that the Collateral
exists or is owned by any Loan Party or is cared for, protected, or insured or has been encumbered, or that the Collateral Agent’s Liens have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected, or enforced or are entitled
to any particular priority, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, 

  
 -110- 

 
disclosure, or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities, and powers granted or available to the 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, the Collateral Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion, given the Collateral Agent’s own interest in
the Collateral and its capacity as one of the Lenders, and that the Collateral Agent shall have no other duty or liability whatsoever to any Lender as to any of the foregoing. 

(d) In the event of a foreclosure by any Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or any court ordered sale of the
Collateral, such Agent or any Lender may be the purchaser of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale and such Agent, as agent for and representative of Lenders (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities
unless the Required Lenders shall otherwise agree in writing) shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such sale, to use and apply any
of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by such Agent at such sale. 
 (e)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents against the Loan Parties or any of them shall be vested exclusively
in, and all actions and proceedings in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the applicable Agent (or its agents or designees) in accordance with the Loan Documents for the benefit of the applicable
Secured Parties; provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit (i) any Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as such Agent) hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents, (ii) each of the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender from exercising the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as such) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (iii) any Lender or
Participant from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 9.09, (iv) any Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to any Loan
Party under any Bankruptcy Code or other debtor relief law or (v) any Lender from exercising any express right or remedy of such Lender under the Loan Documents where an Agent does not have the power and authority under the Loan Documents to
act on behalf of such Lender; and provided, further, that if at any time there is no Person acting as the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, then (A) the Required Lenders
shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to the applicable Agent pursuant to Section 8.10 and (B) in addition to the matters set forth in Section 8.10, any Lender may, with the consent of the Required Lenders, enforce
any rights and remedies available to it and as authorized by the Required Lenders. Prior to the initial commencement of the exercise of the Collateral Agent’s secured creditor remedies as to the Rigs, the Collateral Agent shall endeavor to
consult with the Lenders regarding the nature of the secured remedies it proposes to commence, provided that nothing in this sentence shall (i) confer any right or remedy in favor of any Credit Party or (ii) confer any consent or
blocking right in respect of the exercise, the manner of exercise or any other aspect related to such remedies. 

  
 -111- 

 SECTION 8.11 Restrictions on Actions by Lenders. Each of the Lenders agrees that it shall
not, unless specifically requested to do so by the Administrative Agent, take or cause to be taken any action to enforce its rights under this Agreement or against any Loan Party, including the commencement of any legal or equitable proceedings, to
foreclose any Lien on, or otherwise enforce any security interest in, any of the Collateral. 
 SECTION 8.12 Agency for Perfection.
Each Lender hereby appoints each other Lender as agent for the purpose of perfecting the Lenders’ security interest in assets which, in accordance with Article 9 of the UCC can be perfected only by possession. Should any Lender
(other than the Collateral Agent) obtain possession of any such Collateral, such Lender shall notify the Collateral Agent thereof, and, promptly upon the Collateral Agent’s request therefor shall deliver such Collateral to the Collateral Agent
or otherwise deal with such Collateral in accordance with the Collateral Agent’s instructions. 
 SECTION 8.13 Concerning the
Collateral and the Related Loan Documents. Each Lender agrees that any action taken by an Agent or the Required Lenders, as applicable, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and the exercise by an Agent or
the Required Lenders, as applicable, of their respective powers set forth therein or herein, together with such other powers that are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be binding upon all of the Lenders. 

SECTION 8.14 Reports and Financial Statements; Disclaimer by Lenders. By signing this Agreement, each Lender: 

(a) is deemed to have requested that the Agents furnish such Lender, promptly after it becomes available, (i) a copy of all financial
statements to be delivered by the Borrowers hereunder, (ii) a copy of any notice of Default or Event of Default received by such Agent and (iii) a copy of each Report; 

(b) expressly agrees and acknowledges that no Agent (i) makes any representation or warranty as to the accuracy of any Report, or
(ii) shall be liable for any information contained in any Report; 
 (c) expressly agrees and acknowledges that the Reports are not
comprehensive audits or examinations, that the Agent or other party performing any audit or examination will inspect only specific information regarding the Borrowers and will rely significantly upon the Borrowers’ books and records, as well as
on representations of the Borrowers’ personnel; 
 (d) agrees to keep all Reports confidential in accordance with
Section 9.13; and 
 (e) without limiting the generality of any other indemnification provision contained in this Agreement,
agrees: (i) to hold the Agents and any such other Person or Lender preparing a Report harmless from any action the indemnifying Lender may take or conclusion the indemnifying Lender may reach or draw from any Report in connection with any loans
or other credit accommodations that the indemnifying Lender has made or may make to the Borrowers, or the indemnifying Lender’s participation in, or the indemnifying Lender’s purchase 

  
 -112- 

 
of, a loan or loans of the Borrowers; and (ii) to pay and protect, and indemnify, defend, and hold the Agents and any such other Person or Lender preparing a Report harmless from and
against, the claims, actions, proceedings, damages, costs, expenses, and other amounts (including reasonable costs of counsel) incurred by the Agents and any such other Lender preparing a Report as the direct or indirect result of any third parties
who might obtain all or part of any Report through the indemnifying Lender. 
 SECTION 8.15 Relation Among Lenders. The Lenders are
not partners or co-venturers, and no Lender shall be liable for the acts or omissions of, or (except as otherwise set forth herein in case of the Agents) be authorized to act for, any other Lender. 

SECTION 8.16 Lead Arranger; Syndication Agent; Documentation Agent. None of the Lead Arranger, Syndication Agent or the Documentation
Agent shall have any duties, liabilities, right, power or responsibilities hereunder in its capacity as such.

SECTION 9.02 Electronic Transmissions; Public-Side Lenders. 

(a) Authorization. Each Agent and its Related Parties is authorized to transmit, post or otherwise make or communicate, in its sole
discretion (but shall not be required to do so), Electronic Transmissions in connection with any Loan Document and the transactions contemplated therein; provided, however, that no notice to any Loan Party shall be made by posting to
an Internet or extranet-based site or other equivalent service but may be made by e-mail or E-Fax. Each Borrower and each Secured Party hereby acknowledges and agrees that the use of Electronic Transmissions is not necessarily secure and that there
are risks associated with such use, including, without limitation, risks of interception, disclosure and abuse and each indicates it assumes and accepts such risks by hereby authorizing each Agent and its Related Parties to transmit Electronic
Transmissions. 
 (b) Signatures. No Electronic Transmission shall be denied legal effect merely because it is made electronically.
Electronic Transmissions that are not readily capable of bearing either a signature or a reproduction of a signature may be signed, and shall be deemed signed, by attaching to, or logically associating with such Electronic Transmission, an
E-Signature, upon which each Secured Party and Loan Party may rely and assume the authenticity thereof. Each Electronic Transmission containing a signature, a reproduction of a signature or an E-Signature shall, for all intents and purposes, have
the same effect and weight as a signed paper original. Each E-Signature shall be deemed sufficient to satisfy any requirement for a “signature” and each Electronic Transmission shall be deemed sufficient to satisfy any requirement for a
“writing”, in each case including pursuant to any Loan Document, the UCC, the Federal Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act and any substantive or procedural law governing such
subject matter. 

  
 -114- 

 
Each party or beneficiary hereto agrees not to contest the validity or enforceability of an Electronic Transmission or E-Signature under the provisions of any applicable law requiring certain
documents to be in writing or signed; provided, however, that nothing herein shall limit such party’s or beneficiary’s right to contest whether an Electronic Transmission or E-Signature has been altered after transmission.

 (c) Separate Agreements. All uses of an E-System shall be governed by and subject to, in addition to this
Section 9.02, separate terms and conditions posted or referenced in such E-System and related agreements, documents or other instruments executed by Secured Parties and Loan Parties in connection with such use. 

(d) Limitation of Liability. All E-Systems and Electronic Transmissions shall be provided “as is” and “as
available.” No Agent or any of their Related Parties warrants the accuracy, adequacy or completeness of any E-Systems or Electronic Transmission and disclaims all liability for errors or omissions therein. No warranty of any kind is made by any
Agent or any of its Related Parties in connection with any E-Systems or Electronic Communication, including any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third party rights or freedom from viruses or other
code defects. Each Borrower and each Secured Party (other than the Administrative Agent) agrees that no Agent have any responsibility for maintaining or providing any equipment, software, services or any testing required in connection with all
Electronic Transmissions or otherwise required for any E-System. 
 (e) Public-Side Lenders. Each Borrower hereby acknowledge that
certain of the Lenders may be “public-side” Lenders (i.e., Lenders who do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to the Loan Parties or their securities) (each, a “Public Lender”). The Borrowers
agree to clearly and conspicuously designate as “PUBLIC” all materials that the Loan Parties intend to be made available to Public Lenders. By designating such materials as “PUBLIC”, the Borrowers authorize such materials to be
made available to a portion of any E-System designated “Public Investor” (or equivalent designation), which is intended to contain only information that (x) prior to any public offering of securities by ICD or any other Loan Party, is
of a type that would be contained in a customary offering circular for an offering of debt securities made in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act or (y) following any public offering of securities by ICD or any other Loan Party,
is either publicly available or not material information (though it may be sensitive and proprietary) with respect to parent or any Loan Party or its securities for purposes of United States Federal and State securities laws. 

SECTION 9.03 Waivers; Amendments. 

(a) No failure or delay by any Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan
Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the
exercise of any other right or power. No waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by Section 9.03(b), and then
such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. 

  
 -115- 

 
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of Event of Default, regardless of whether any Agent,
any Lender or the Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Event of Default at the time. 
 (b) Neither this Agreement nor any
other Loan Document (other than the Fee Letter) nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except (i) in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrowers and
(x) the Required Lenders or (y) the Administrative Agent, with the consent of the Required Lenders, or (ii) in the case of any other Loan Document (other than the Fee Letter), pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered
into by the Administrative Agent and the Loan Party or Loan Parties that are parties thereto, with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall: 

(i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender; 

(ii) reduce or forgive the principal amount of any Loan owing to any Lender or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce or forgive any
interest or fees payable hereunder to any Lender, without the written consent of such Lender; 
 (iii) postpone the maturity of any Loan
owing to any Lender, or any scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan owing to any Lender, or any date for the payment of any interest, fees or other Obligations payable hereunder to any Lender, or reduce the amount of, waive or
excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment of any Lender, without the written consent of such Lender; 

(iv) increase the sum of aggregate Commitments to an amount in excess of $60,000,000 except with the consent of each Lender or except as
contemplated under Section 2.01(c); 
 (v) change Section 2.10(b), Section 2.11(c) or
Section 7.03 in a manner that would alter the manner in which payments are shared, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby; 

(vi) increase the advance rates or modify the definition of “Borrowing Base” or any component definition directly used in such
definition if such increase or modification would increase Availability, in each case without the written consent of each Lender, provided that the foregoing shall not limit the discretion of the Administrative Agent to establish, change or
eliminate Reserves; 
 (vii) change any of the provisions of this Section 9.03(b) or the definition of “Required
Lenders” or any other provision of any Loan Document specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent thereunder, without the written consent
of each Lender; 

  
 -116- 

 (viii) except as provided in Section 8.10 or in any Collateral Document, release all
or substantially all of the Collateral, without the written consent of each Lender; 
 (ix) affect the rights or duties of the
Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be; or 

(x) contractually subordinate any of the Liens granted to the Collateral Agent without the consent of each Lender, provided,
however, this subparagraph (ix) shall not apply to a subordination of the Liens granted to the Collateral Agent if such subordination arises pursuant to the granting of liens or superpriority claims pursuant to Section 364 of
Title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) or any other provision of the Bankruptcy Code. 
 (c)
Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the consent of the Required Lenders nor the consent of any affected Lender shall be required for any amendment or supplement to this Agreement entered into pursuant to or in connection with
Section 2.01(c). 
 (d) The Administrative Agent may (i) amend the Commitment Schedule to reflect assignments entered into
pursuant to Section 9.05, (ii) with consent of the Borrowers only, amend, modify or supplement this Agreement to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency, so long as such amendment, modification or supplement does not
adversely affect the rights of any Lender, (iii) waive payment of the fee required under Section 9.05(b)(ii)(C) and (iv) upon the request of the Lead Arranger, implement any Flex-Pricing Provisions contained in the Fee Letter
or any separate letter agreement with respect to fees payable to CIT Finance LLC or any commitment letter delivered in connection with the transaction which is the subject of this Agreement without obtaining the consent of any other party to this
Agreement. 
 (e) If, in connection with any proposed amendment, waiver or consent requiring the consent of “each Lender” or
“each Lender affected thereby,” the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained, but the consent of other necessary Lenders is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is necessary but not obtained being referred to herein as a
“Non-Consenting Lender”), then, so long as the Administrative Agent is not a Non-Consenting Lender, the Borrowers may elect to replace all, but not less than all, Non-Consenting Lenders as Lenders party to this Agreement,
provided that, concurrently with such replacement, (i) one or more Eligible Assignees shall agree, as of such date, to purchase for cash the Loans and other Obligations due to the Non-Consenting Lenders pursuant to an Assignment and
Assumption and to become a Lender for all purposes under this Agreement and to assume all obligations of the Non-Consenting Lenders to be terminated as of such date and to comply with the requirements of Section 9.05(b), and
(ii) the Borrowers shall pay to each such Non-Consenting Lender in same day funds on the day of such replacement (1) all interest, fees and other amounts then accrued but unpaid to such Non-Consenting Lender by the Borrowers hereunder to
and including the date of termination, including without limitation payments due to such Non-Consenting Lender under Sections 2.15 and 2.17, and (2) an amount, if any, equal to the payment which would have been due to such
Lender on the day of such replacement under Section 2.16 had the Loans and Obligations of such Non-Consenting Lender been prepaid on such date rather than sold to the replacement Lender. 

  
 -117- 

 SECTION 9.04 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver. 

(a) Expenses. (i) The Borrowers shall pay all reasonable, documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agents and their
respective Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Agents, in connection with the syndication as of the Closing Date or pursuant to Section 2.01(c) and distribution (including, without

Section 9.04, or in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with any sale or other realization upon the Collateral or during any workout,
restructuring, negotiations or a solvency or bankruptcy proceedings in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit. Expenses being reimbursed by the Borrowers under this Section 9.04(a) include, without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, costs and expenses incurred in connection with: 
 (i) subject to the limitations set forth in Section 5.10,
appraisals of all or any portion of the Collateral (including travel, lodging, meals and other out-of-pocket expenses of the appraisers); 

(ii) subject to the limitations set forth in Section 5.06, field examinations and the preparation of Reports at either the
Collateral Agent’s then customary charge (such charge is currently $1,000 per day (or portion thereof) for each Person employed by the Collateral Agent (who may be an employee of Collateral Agent) with respect to each field examination) or at
the fee charged by a third party retained by the Collateral Agent, plus in each case travel, lodging, meals and other out of pocket expenses; 

(iii) lien searches; 
 (iv)
taxes, fees and other charges for recording any Mortgages, filing financing statements and continuations, and other actions to perfect, protect, and continue the Collateral Agent’s Liens;

and 
 (vi) costs and expenses of forwarding loan proceeds, collecting checks and other items of payment, and establishing and maintaining
the accounts and lock boxes, and costs and expenses of preserving and protecting the Collateral. 

  
 -118- 

 All of the foregoing costs and expenses may be charged to the Borrowers as Loans or to another deposit account,
all as described in Section 2.18(c). 
 (b) Indemnities. The Borrowers shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, the
Collateral Agent, the Lead Arranger, the Documentation Agent, the Syndication Agent, the Issuing Bank and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against,
and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, on an after-Tax basis, any and all losses, claims, damages, penalties, liabilities and related expenses, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by
or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of the Loan Documents or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their
respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by the Issuing Bank to honor
a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) the handling of the Funding Accounts, Collection Account, any account
subject to a Blocked Account Agreement and Collateral of Borrowers as herein provided, (iv) the Agent, Issuing Bank or Lender relying on any instructions of the Administrative Borrower, (v) any actual or alleged presence or release of

claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any
Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, penalties, liabilities or related expenses are finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such
Indemnitee in a final nonappealable order or judgment. 
 (c) The relationship between any Loan Party, on the one hand, and the Lenders, the
Issuing Bank and the Agents, on the other hand, shall be solely that of debtor and creditor. None of the Agents, the Issuing Bank or any Lender (i) shall have any fiduciary responsibilities to any Loan Party, or (ii) undertakes any
responsibility to any Loan Party to review or inform such Loan Party of any matter in connection with any phase of any Loan Party’s business or operations. To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Loan Party shall assert, and each hereby
waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any
agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof. 
 (d) All
amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly after written demand therefor. 
 (e) In no event shall any Indemnitee be liable on
any theory of liability for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (including any loss of profits, business or anticipated savings).

 SECTION 9.05 Successors and Assigns. 

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and
assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of an Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) the Borrowers may not assign or otherwise transfer any of their rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written
consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrowers without such consent shall be null and void), and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with
this Section. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of an Issuing Bank that
issues any Letter of Credit), Participants (to the extent provided in Section 9.05(c)) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders) any legal or
equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. 
 (b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in
Section 9.05(b)(ii), any Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it). 

(ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following conditions: 

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate or Approved Fund of a Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining
amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans, the amount of the Commitment of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to
the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 in the case of assignments of Commitments, unless each of the Administrative Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent (such consent of Administrative Borrower not to be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), provided that no such consent of the Administrative Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, provided further that the Administrative
Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received notice thereof; 

(B) after giving effect to any partial assignment of a Lender’s Commitment, the assignor’s Commitment shall not be less than
$5,000,000; 
 (C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption,
together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 payable to the Administrative Agent (unless waived by the Administrative Agent at its sole option); and 

(D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire. 

  
 -120- 

 (iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to Section 9.05(b)(iv),
from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender
under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption
covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and
9.04). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.05 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in
such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 9.05(c). 
 (iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an
agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices in the United States a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and
principal amount of and interest owing on, the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrowers, the Agents, the Issuing
Bank and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as the absolute owner of any Obligations held by such Person, as included in the Register, for all purposes of this Agreement,
notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Administrative Borrower, the Issuing Bank and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 

(v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s
completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 9.05(b), if applicable and any written consent to such assignment required by
Section 9.05(b), the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register; provided that if either the assigning Lender or the assignee shall have failed to
make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Sections 2.04, 2.05, 2.06, 2.07(b), 2.18(e) or 8.07, the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and Assumption and
record the information therein in the Register unless and until such payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the
Register as provided in this paragraph. 
 (c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the
Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Lenders, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities who would otherwise constitute Eligible Assignees (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and
obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain
solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (C) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in
connection with such Lender’s rights 

  
 -121- 

 
and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this
Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any
amendment, modification or waiver described in clauses (i) through (iii) of the first proviso to Section 9.03(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to Section 9.05(c)(ii), the Borrowers agree that each
Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 9.05(b). To the extent
permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.09 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.18(d) as though it were a Lender. 

(ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.15 or 2.17 than the applicable
Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Administrative Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that
would be a Non-U.S. Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.17 unless the Administrative Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the
benefit of the Borrowers, to comply with Section 2.17(e) as though it were a Lender. 
 (d) Any Lender may at any time pledge or
assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender or an Affiliate of such Lender, including, without limitation, any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal
Reserve Bank, and this Section 9.05 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations
hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. 
 (e) Securitization. In addition to any
other assignment permitted pursuant to this Section, Loan Parties hereby acknowledge that (x) the Lenders, their Affiliates and Approved Funds (“Lender Parties”) may sell or securitize the Loans (a
“Securitization”) through the pledge of the Loans as collateral security for loans to a Lender Party or the assignment or issuance of direct or indirect interests in the Loans (such as, for instance, collateralized loan
obligations), and (y) such Securitization may be rated by a rating agency. The Loan Parties shall reasonably cooperate with the Lender Parties to effect the Securitization including, without limitation, by (a) amending this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents, and executing such additional documents, as reasonably requested by the Lenders in connection with the Securitization; provided that (i) any such amendment or additional documentation does not impose material
additional costs on Borrower and (ii) any such amendment or additional documentation does not materially adversely affect the rights, or materially increase the obligations, of Borrower under the Loan Documents or change or affect in a manner
adverse to Borrower the financial terms of the Loans, (b) providing such information as may be reasonably requested by the Lenders or rating agencies in connection with the rating of the Loans or the Securitization, and (c) providing a
certificate (i) agreeing to indemnify the Lender Parties, or any party providing credit support or otherwise participating in the Securitization, including any 

  
 -122- 

 
investors in a securitization entity (collectively, the “Securitization Parties”) for any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (the “Securitization
Liabilities”) to which the Lender Parties or such Securitization Parties may become subject insofar as the Securitization Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact
contained in any Loan Document or in any writing delivered by or on behalf of any Loan Party to the Lender Partiers in connection with any Loan Document or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material
fact required to be stated therein, or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and such indemnity shall survive any transfer by the Lenders or their successors or
assigns of the Loans, and (ii) agreeing to reimburse the Lender Parties and the other Securitization Parties for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Persons in connection with defending the Securitization Liabilities. 

SECTION 9.06 Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents and in
the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the
Loan Documents and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender may
have had notice or knowledge of any Event of Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or
any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.15, 2.16,
2.17 and 9.04 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the
Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof. 
 SECTION 9.07 Counterparts;
Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single
contract. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any
and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative
Agents and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto
and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. 

SECTION 9.08 Severability. Any provision of any Loan Document held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall,
as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to 

  
 -123- 

 
the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions thereof; and the invalidity of a particular
provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
 SECTION 9.09 Right of
Setoff. In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, if an Event of Default exists or the Loans have been accelerated, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is authorized at any time and from time to time, without
prior notice to the Borrowers, any such notice being waived by the Borrowers to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set-off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held by, and other
indebtedness at any time owing by, such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower against any and all Obligations owing to such Lender, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not the Administrative Agent
or such Lender shall have made demand under this Agreement or any Loan Document and although such Obligations may be contingent or unmatured. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and
application made by such Lender or any Affiliate; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, NO LENDER OR AFFILIATE THEREOF
SHALL EXERCISE ANY RIGHT OF SET OFF, BANKER’S LIEN, OR THE LIKE AGAINST ANY DEPOSIT ACCOUNT OR PROPERTY OF ANY BORROWER HELD OR MAINTAINED BY SUCH LENDER WITHOUT THE PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT. 

SECTION 9.10 GOVERNING LAW; JURISDICTION; CONSENT TO SERVICE OF PROCESS. 

(a) THE LOAN DOCUMENTS (OTHER THAN THOSE CONTAINING A CONTRARY EXPRESS CHOICE OF LAW PROVISION) SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. EACH LETTER OF CREDIT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OR RULES DESIGNATED IN SUCH LETTER OF CREDIT, OR IF NO SUCH LAWS OR RULES ARE DESIGNATED, THE UNIFORM
CUSTOMS AND PRACTICE FOR DOCUMENTARY CREDITS MOST RECENTLY PUBLISHED AND IN EFFECT, ON THE DATE SUCH LETTER OF CREDIT WAS ISSUED, BY THE INTERNATIONAL CHAMBER OF COMMERCE (THE “UNIFORM CUSTOMS”) AND, AS TO MATTERS NOT GOVERNED BY
THE UNIFORM CUSTOMS, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 
 (b) EACH OF THE LOAN PARTIES AND SECURED PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND
UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS, FOR ITSELF AND ITS PROPERTY, TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY UNITED STATES FEDERAL OR NEW YORK STATE COURT SITTING IN NEW YORK, NEW YORK IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY

 -124- 

 
DETERMINED IN SUCH NEW YORK STATE COURT OR, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN SUCH FEDERAL COURT. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGREES THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL
BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL AFFECT ANY RIGHT THAT ANY AGENT, ISSUING BANK OR LENDER MAY OTHERWISE
HAVE TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AGAINST ANY LOAN PARTY OR ITS PROPERTIES IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION. 

(c) EACH OF THE LOAN PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT IT MAY LEGALLY AND EFFECTIVELY DO SO, ANY
OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT IN ANY COURT REFERRED TO IN SECTION 9.10(B). EACH OF THE
PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM TO THE MAINTENANCE OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT. 

(d) EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR NOTICES IN SECTION 9.01.

 SECTION 9.13 Confidentiality. 

(a) Each Borrower acknowledges that (i) from time to time financial advisory, investment banking and other services may be offered or
provided to it (in connection with this Agreement or otherwise) by each Lender or by one or more subsidiaries of such Lender and (ii) information delivered to each Lender by the Loan Parties may be provided to each such subsidiary and
affiliate, it being understood that any such subsidiary or affiliate receiving such information shall be bound by the provisions of Section 9.13(b) as if it were a Lender under this Agreement. 

(b) Each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders severally agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as
defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (i) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees, advisors, managers and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the
Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (ii) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority, (iii) to the extent
required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (iv) to any other party to this Agreement, (v) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to
this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (vi) to any nationally recognized rating agency or service (including Moody’s Investor Services, Inc., Standard and Poor’s Ratings Group
and Fitch Ratings Ltd.) that requires access to information about a Lender’s (or a potential Lender’s) investment portfolio in connection with ratings to be issued with respect to such Lender (or potential Lender) or with respect to an
Approved Fund, (vii) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially similar to those set forth in this Section, to (A) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or
obligations under this Agreement, (B) any investor or prospective investor in an Approved Fund and any trustee, collateral manager, servicer, noteholder or secured party in an Approved Fund or (C) any actual or prospective counterparty (or
its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Loan Parties and their obligations, (vii) with the consent of the Administrative Borrower, or (ix) to the extent such Information (A) becomes publicly available other
than as a result of a breach of this Section, or (B) becomes available to any Agent, Issuing Bank or Lender on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Borrowers. For the purposes of this Section 9.13,
“Information” means all information received from the Borrowers relating to the Borrowers or their business, other than any such information that is available to any Agent, Issuing Bank or Lender on a non-confidential basis prior to
disclosure by the Borrowers. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 9.13 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same
degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Agent or Lender may issue and disseminate to the public general information
describing this credit facility, including the names and addresses of the Borrowers and a general description of the Borrowers’ businesses, and may (so long as the Administrative Borrower has previously reviewed and approved the form of such
advertisement or promotional materials) use Borrowers’ names in published advertising and other promotional materials. The obligations of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders under this Section 9.13 shall
terminate upon the termination of the Commitments and the payment and satisfaction in full of all Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations. 

  
 -126- 

 SECTION 9.14 Several Obligations; Nonreliance; Violation of Law. The respective
obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and not joint and the failure of any Lender to make any Loan or perform any of its obligations hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender from any of its obligations hereunder. Each Lender hereby
represents that it is not relying on or looking to any margin stock for the repayment of the Borrowings provided for herein. Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, neither the Issuing Bank nor any Lender shall be
obligated to extend credit to the Borrowers in violation of any limitation or prohibition provided by any applicable statute or regulation. 

SECTION 9.15 USA Patriot Act. Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the Patriot Act hereby notifies the Borrowers that
pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrowers, which information includes the names and addresses of the Borrowers and other information that will allow such
Lender to identify the Borrowers in accordance with the Patriot Act. 
 SECTION 9.16 Execution of Loan Documents. The Lenders hereby
empower and authorize the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, to execute and deliver to the Loan Parties the other Loan Documents and all related agreements, certificates, documents, or instruments as shall be
necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of the Loan Documents. 
 SECTION 9.17 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the
“Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of
interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan
but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section 9.17 shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate
therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender. 

SECTION 9.18 Administrative Borrower; Joint and Several Liability. 

(a) Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Independence Contract Drilling, Inc. as the borrowing agent and attorney-in-fact for all
Borrowers (the “Administrative Borrower”) which appointment shall remain in full force and effect unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received prior written notice signed by each Borrower that such appointment has
been revoked and that another Borrower has been appointed Administrative Borrower. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Borrower (i) to provide the Agents, Issuing Bank and Lenders with all notices with
respect to Borrowings and Letters of Credit obtained for the benefit of any Borrower and all other notices and instructions under this Agreement and (ii) to take such action as the Administrative Borrower deems appropriate on its behalf to
obtain Borrowings and Letters of Credit and to 

  
 -127- 

 
exercise such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto to carry out the purposes of this Agreement. It is understood that the handling of the Funding Accounts, Collection Account, any
account subject to a Blocked Account Agreement and Collateral of Borrowers in a combined fashion, as more fully set forth herein, is done solely as an accommodation to Borrowers in order to utilize the collective borrowing powers of Borrowers in the
most efficient and economical manner and at their request, and that no Agent, Issuing Bank or Lender shall incur any liability to any Borrower as a result hereof. Each Borrower expects to derive benefit, directly or indirectly, from the handling of
the Funding Accounts, Collection Account, any account subject to a Blocked Account Agreement and the Collateral in a combined fashion since the successful operation of each Borrower is dependent on the continued successful performance of the
integrated group. To induce the Agents, Issuing Bank and Lenders to do so, and in consideration thereof, each Borrower hereby jointly and severally agrees to indemnify each Agent, Issuing Bank and Lender and hold it harmless against any and all
liability, expense, loss or claim of damage or injury, made against such Lender by any Borrower or by any third party whosoever, arising from or incurred by reason of (a) the handling of the Funding Accounts, Collection Account, any account
subject to a Blocked Account Agreement and Collateral of Borrowers as herein provided, (b) such Agent, Issuing Bank or Lender relying on any instructions of the Administrative Borrower, or (c) any other action taken by the Agent, Issuing
Bank or Lenders hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, except that Borrowers will have no liability under this Section 9.18 with respect to any liability that has been finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have
resulted solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such indemnified party. 
 (b) Unless otherwise specifically provided
herein, all references to “Borrower” or “Borrowers” herein shall refer to and include each of the Borrowers separately and all representations contained herein shall be deemed to be separately made by each of them, and each of
the covenants, agreements and obligations set forth herein shall be deemed to be the joint and several covenants, agreements and obligations of them. Any notice, request, consent, report or other information or agreement delivered to any Agent or
Lender by the Borrowers shall be deemed to be ratified by, consented to and also delivered by the other Borrowers. Each Borrower recognizes and agrees that each covenant and agreement of “Borrower” or “Borrowers” under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall create a joint and several obligation of the Borrowers, which may be enforced against Borrowers, jointly or against each of the Borrowers separately. 

(c) All Loans to the Borrowers, upon funding, shall be deemed to be jointly funded to and received by the Borrowers. Each Borrower jointly and
severally agrees to pay, and shall be jointly and severally liable under this Agreement for, all Obligations of the Borrowers, regardless of the manner or amount in which proceeds of such Loans are used, allocated, shared, or disbursed by or among
the Borrowers themselves, or the manner in which an Agent and/or any Lender accounts for such Loans or other extensions of credit on its books and records. Each Borrower shall be liable for all amounts due to an Agent and/or any Lender under this
Agreement, regardless of which Borrower actually receives Loans or other extensions of credit hereunder or the amount of such Loans and extensions of credit received or the manner in which such Agent and/or such Lender accounts for such Loans or
other extensions of credit on its books and records. Each Borrower’s Obligations with respect to Loans and other extensions of credit made to it, and such Borrower’s Obligations arising as a result of the joint and several

  
 -128- 

 
liability of such Borrower hereunder, with respect to Loans made to the other Borrowers hereunder, shall be separate and distinct obligations, but all such Obligations of the Borrowers shall be
primary obligations of such Borrower. The Borrowers acknowledge and expressly agree with the Agents, the Issuing Bank and each Lender that the joint and several liability of each Borrower is required solely as a condition to, and is given solely as
inducement for and in consideration of, credit or accommodations extended or to be extended under the Loan Documents to any or all of the other Borrowers. Each Borrower’s obligations under this Agreement and as an obligor under the Collateral
Documents shall be separate and distinct obligations. Upon any Event of Default, the Agents may proceed directly and at once, without notice, against any Borrower to collect and recover the full amount, or any portion of the Obligations, without
first proceeding against any other Borrower or any other Person, or against any security or collateral for the Obligations. Each Borrower consents and agrees that the Agents shall be under no obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Borrower
or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. 
 (d) With respect to any Borrower’s Obligations arising as a result of the
joint and several liability of the Borrowers hereunder with respect to Loans or other extensions of credit made to any of the other Borrowers hereunder, such Borrower waives, until the Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full, the
Commitments and this Agreement shall have been terminated, any right to enforce any right of subrogation or any remedy which an Agent and/or any Lender now has or may hereafter have against any other Borrower, any endorser or any guarantor of all or
any part of the Obligations, and any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security or collateral given to an Agent and/or any Lender to secure payment of the Obligations or any other liability of any Borrower to an Agent and/or any
Lender. 
 (e) Subject to Section 9.18(d), to the extent that any Borrower shall be required to pay a portion of the Obligations
which shall exceed the amount of Loans other extensions of credit received by such Borrower and all interest, costs, fees and expenses attributable to such Loans or other extensions of credit, then such Borrower shall be reimbursed by the other
Borrowers for the amount of such excess. This Section 9.18(e) is intended only to define the relative rights of Borrowers, and nothing set forth in this Section 9.18(e) is intended or shall impair the obligations of each
Borrower, jointly and severally, to pay to Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and Lenders the Obligations as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth
in this Section 9.18(e) or any other provisions of this Agreement, it is the intent of the parties hereto that the liability incurred by each Borrower in respect of the Obligations of the other Borrowers (and any Lien granted by each
Borrower to secure such Obligations), not constitute a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under the provisions of any applicable law of any state or other governmental unit (“Fraudulent Conveyance”). Consequently, each
Borrower, each Agent, the Issuing Bank and each Lender hereby agree that if a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the incurrence of liability by any Borrower in respect of the Obligations of any other Borrower (or any Liens granted by
such Borrower to secure such Obligations) would, but for the application of this sentence, constitute a Fraudulent Conveyance, such liability (and such Liens) shall be valid and enforceable only to the maximum extent that would not cause the same to
constitute a Fraudulent Conveyance, and this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall automatically be deemed to have been amended accordingly, nunc pro tunc. 

  
 -129- 

 (f) Each Borrower’s obligation to pay and perform the Obligations shall be absolute,
unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid and performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement,
or any term or provision therein, as to any other Borrower, or (ii) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable
discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, any Borrower’s obligations hereunder. 
 SECTION 9.19 Subordination of
Intercompany Indebtedness. Each Borrower hereby agrees that any Indebtedness (along with any Lien, whether now or hereafter arising, purporting to secure such Indebtedness) of any other Borrower or Loan Party now or hereafter owing to such
Borrower, whether heretofore, now or hereafter created (the “Borrower Subordinated Debt”), is hereby subordinated to all of the Obligations and that, except as permitted under Section 6.10, the Borrower Subordinated Debt
shall not be paid in whole or in part until the Obligations have been paid in full and this Agreement is terminated and of no further force or effect. No Borrower shall accept any payment of or on account of any Borrower Subordinated Debt at any
time in contravention of the foregoing. Each payment on the Borrower Subordinated Debt received in violation of any of the provisions hereof shall be deemed to have been received by such Borrower as trustee for the Secured Parties and shall be paid
over to the Administrative Agent immediately on account of the Obligations, but without otherwise affecting in any manner such Borrower’s liability hereunder. Each Borrower agrees to file all claims against the Borrower or Loan Party from whom
the Borrower Subordinated Debt is owing in any bankruptcy or other proceeding in which the filing of claims is required by law in respect of any Borrower Subordinated Debt, and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to all of such
Borrower’s rights thereunder. If for any reason a Borrower fails to file such claim at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the last date on which such claim should be filed, such Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative
Agent as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact, and the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to act as attorney-in-fact in such Borrower’s name to file such claim or, in the Administrative Agent’s discretion, to assign such claim to
and cause proof of claim to be filed in the name of the Administrative Agent or its nominee. In all such cases, whether in administration, bankruptcy or otherwise, the Person or Persons authorized to pay such claim shall pay to the Administrative
Agent the full amount payable on the claim in the proceeding, and, to the full extent necessary for that purpose, each Borrower hereby assigns to the Administrative Agent all of such Borrower’s rights to any payments or distributions to which
such Borrower otherwise would be entitled. If the amount so paid is greater than such Borrower’s liability hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall pay the excess amount to the party entitled thereto. In addition, each Borrower hereby
irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its attorney-in-fact to exercise all of such Borrower’s voting rights in connection with any bankruptcy proceeding or any plan for the reorganization of the Borrower or Loan Party from whom the
Borrower Subordinated Debt is owing.

 Schedule 5.14 

Post-Closing Matters 
 The following are
the post-closing matters referenced in Section 5.14. The Loan Parties shall cause each requirement set forth blow to be satisfied in full, on or before the date specified for such requirement (or within such longer period as
Administrative Agent may agree at its sole option), time being of the essence, and to be satisfactory, in form and substance, as applicable, to Administrative Agent. The failure to satisfy any such requirement on or before the date when due (or
within such longer period as Administrative Agent may agree at its sole option) shall be an Event of Default, except as otherwise agreed to by Administrative Agent at its sole option. 

 

	 	1.	The Loan Parties shall (a) direct their Account Debtors to, from and after the Effective Date, remit all payments to a Payment Account in lieu of a Transition Account, (b) cause any monies on deposit in any
Transition Account to be used in accordance with this Agreement, and (c) on a daily basis, cause the funds in any Transition Account in excess of the Transition Account Limit (as defined below) to be transferred into a deposit account that is
subject to a Blocked Account Agreement. 

  

	 	2.	At all times from and after the earlier of (a) the date of the making of the initial Loan or, if earlier, the issuance of the initial Letter of Credit, and (b) May 31, 2013, the Loan Parties shall cause
the Transition Accounts to have an aggregate balance that is less than or equal to the lesser of (i) $500,000 and (ii) the aggregate amount of the outstanding checks or drafts that, as of any date of determination, can be drawn upon any
Transition Account (such lesser amount being the “Transition Account Limit”); provided, however, that funds in excess of the Transition Account Limit may be held in a Transition Account for a period of one
(1) Business Day so long as such funds (x) represent a deposit made to such Transition Account within such Business Day and (y) are remitted to a deposit account that is subject to a Blocked Account Agreement in accordance with
Section 1 of this Schedule 5.14. For the avoidance of doubt, it is a condition precedent to the making of any Loan, or the issuance of any Letter of Credit, during the period from the Effective Date until the date that the
Transition Accounts are closed, that the Loan Parties have provided evidence satisfactory to the Administrative Agent that the Loan Parties are in compliance with this Section 2 of Schedule 5.14. 

 

	 	3.	On or prior to the date of the making of the initial Loan or, if earlier, the issuance of the initial Letter of Credit (and as a condition precedent to the making of such initial Loan and the issuance of such initial
Letter of Credit), the Loan Parties shall provide evidence acceptable to Administrative Agent that the operating account held by the Administrative Borrower at Compass Bank with account number 6710151065 has been established and that the
Administrative Borrower has the ability to initiate wire transfers and issue checks from such account. 

	 	4.	Not later than June 12, 2013, the Loan Parties shall deliver to the Collateral Agent a Collateral Access Agreement with respect to the following premises and related lease or license agreements, in each case in
form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral Agent and duly executed by the applicable landlord or licensor: 

  

	 	a.	Premises commonly known by the street address 7560 Breen Drive, Houston, Texas 77060, leased by ICD pursuant to that certain Lease Agreement, dated January 1, 2013, between Donald Wright and ICD; and

  

	 	b.	Premises commonly known by the street address 314 South East Ave. “L”, Seminole, Texas 79360, licensed by ICD pursuant to that certain Pipe Storage Agreement, dated in December 2012, between Jimmy Hart and
ICD. 

  

	 	5.	Not later than June 30, 2013, the Loan Parties shall (a) cause the Transition Accounts to be closed and (b) cause the remaining balance in each Transition Account to be transferred into a deposit account
that is subject to a Blocked Account Agreement, and, in the case of each of clauses (a) and (b), provide evidence acceptable to Administrative Agent demonstrating the satisfaction of such requirement. 

 

	 	6.	The Loan Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be delivered to the Collateral Agent, not later than June 12, 2013, an acknowledgement and agreement to that certain Collateral Assignment of
Contribution Documents, dated as of the Effective Date, by the Administrative Borrower in favor of the Collateral Agent, which acknowledgement and agreement shall be (i) executed by each of Global Energy Services Operating, LLC, Independence
Contract Drilling, LLC and Southwest Oilfield Products, Inc. and (ii) in form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral Agent in its reasonable discretion. For the avoidance of doubt, the failure to deliver such acknowledgement shall not
constitute an Event of Default so long as commercially reasonable efforts were utilized in attempting to obtain such acknowledgement. 

  

	 	7.	The Loan Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) cause to be delivered to the Collateral Agent, not later than June 12, 2013, evidence in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the
Collateral Agent that the Loan Parties have submitted to the United States Patent and Trademark Office, for recording in the applicable records of such office, an assignment of the trademark “Quicksilver Drilling System”, Serial Number
78/569,368, Registration Number 3097651, from GES Global Energy Services, Inc. to ICD, and (ii) if such evidence is delivered, then, within ten (10) Business Days after receiving a recordation return or other indication that such
assignment has been recorded in the applicable records of the United States Patent and Trademark Office, execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent a trademark security agreement covering such trademark, in form and substance satisfactory to the
Collateral Agent in its reasonable discretion. For the avoidance of doubt, the failure to satisfy the requirements described in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) shall not constitute an Event of Default so long as commercially reasonable
efforts were utilized in attempting to satisfy such requirements.

maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the Borrower Obligations of such Borrower and (ii) each of the other Guarantors when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of their Guarantor Obligations. 

  
 8 

 (b) Anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum
liability of each Guarantor in its capacity as a Guarantor hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall in no event exceed the amount which can be guaranteed by such Guarantor under applicable federal and state laws relating to the insolvency
of debtors (after giving effect to the right of contribution established in Section 2.2). 
 (c) Each Guarantor agrees that the
Borrower Obligations, either individually or collectively, may at any time and from time to time exceed the amount of the liability of such Guarantor hereunder without impairing the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or affecting the
rights and remedies of any Agent or any Lender hereunder. 
 (d) The guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall remain in full
force and effect until all the Borrower Obligations and all of the obligations of each Guarantor under the guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall have been satisfied by payment in full (other than contingent indemnification
obligations to the extent no claim giving rise thereto has been asserted), no Letter of Credit Obligation shall be outstanding and the Commitments shall be terminated, notwithstanding that from time to time during the term of the Credit Agreement
the Borrowers may be free from any Borrower Obligations. 
 (e) No payment made by any Borrower, any of the Guarantors, any other guarantor
or any other Person or received or collected by any Agent or any Lender from any of the Borrowers, any of the Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any set-off or appropriation or application at

obligations to the extent no claim giving rise thereto has been asserted) are paid in full, no Letter of Credit Obligation shall be outstanding and the Commitments are terminated. 

2.2 Right of Contribution. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that to the extent a Guarantor shall have paid more than its proportionate
share of any payment made hereunder, such Guarantor shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against any other Guarantor hereunder which has not paid its proportionate share of such payment. Each Guarantor’s right of
contribution shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 2.3. The provisions of this Section 2.2 shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor to the Agents and the Lenders, and each

Borrower Obligations, and all amounts owing to the Agents and the Lenders by any other Person on account of the Guarantor Obligations, are paid in full (other than contingent indemnification obligations to the extent no claim giving rise thereto has
been asserted), no

rights at any time when all of the Borrower Obligations and the Guarantor Obligations shall not have been paid in full (other than contingent indemnification obligations to the extent no claim giving rise thereto has been asserted), any Letter of
Credit Obligation is outstanding or any Commitment is outstanding, such amount shall be held by such Guarantor in trust for the Agents and the Lenders, segregated from other funds of such Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such
Guarantor, be turned over to the Collateral Agent in the exact form received by such Guarantor (duly indorsed by such Guarantor to the Collateral Agent, if required), to be applied against the Borrower Obligations and the Guarantor Obligations,
whether matured or unmatured, in such order as the Administrative Agent may determine. 
 2.4 Amendments, etc. with respect to the
Borrower Obligations and the Guarantor Obligations. Each Guarantor shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against any Guarantor and without notice to or further assent by any Guarantor, any
demand for payment of any of the Borrower Obligations or the Guarantor Obligations made by any Agent or any Lender may be rescinded by such Agent or such Lender and any of the Borrower Obligations and the Guarantor Obligations continued, and the
Borrower Obligations and the Guarantor Obligations, or the liability of any other Person upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in
part, be renewed, extended, amended, restated, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by any Agent or any Lender, and the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents executed and delivered in
connection therewith may be amended, restated, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, as the Administrative Agent (or the Required Lenders or all Lenders, as the case may be) may deem advisable from time to time, and any
collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any time held by the any Agent or any Lender for the payment of the Borrower Obligations or the Guarantor Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released. Neither the Agents
nor any Lender shall have any obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien at any time held by it as security for the Borrower Obligations or the Guarantor Obligations or for the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or any
property subject thereto. 
 2.5 Guarantees Absolute and Unconditional. Each Guarantor waives any and all notice of the creation,
renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Borrower Obligations or the Guarantor Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by any Agent or Lender upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or acceptance of the guarantee
contained in this Section 2. The Borrower Obligations and the Guarantor Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon
the guarantee contained in this Section 2 and all dealings between the Borrowers and any of the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Agents and Lenders, on the other hand, likewise shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or
consummated in reliance upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2. Each Guarantor waives diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon the Borrowers or any of the Guarantors with
respect to the Borrower Obligations and the Guarantor Obligations. Each Guarantor understands and agrees that the guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment
and performance without regard to (a) the validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, any of the Borrower Obligations or the Guarantor Obligations or any other collateral security therefor or guarantee or
right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by any Agent or Lender, (b) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by
any Borrower, Guarantor or any other Person against any Agent or Lender, or (c) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of any Borrower or such Guarantor) which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute,
an equitable or legal discharge of any Borrower for the Borrower Obligations or of any Person for the Guarantor Obligations, in bankruptcy or in any other 

  
 10 

 
instance. When making any demand hereunder or otherwise pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against any Guarantor, any Agent or Lender may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a
similar demand on or otherwise pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against any Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person or against any collateral security or guarantee for the Borrower Obligations or the Guarantor Obligations or
any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by any Agent or Lender to make any such demand, to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from any Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person or to realize
upon any such collateral security or guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of any Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person or any such collateral security, guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve any
Guarantor of any obligation or liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of any Agent or Lender against any Guarantor. For the purposes hereof
“demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.

contained in this Section 2 shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Borrower Obligations or the Guarantor Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise
be restored or returned by any Agent or Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of any Borrower, Guarantor or other Person, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator
of, or trustee or similar officer for, any Borrower, Guarantor or other Person or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made. 

2.7 Payments. Each Guarantor hereby guarantees that payments hereunder will be paid to the Administrative Agent without set-off or
counterclaim in Dollars at the office specified in Section 2.18 of the Credit Agreement. 
 SECTION 3. GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST

lien on, all of such Grantor’s right, title and interest in, to and under all personal property and assets including, but not limited to, the following, in each case, now owned or at any time hereafter acquired by such Grantor or in which such
Grantor now has or at any time in the future may acquire any right, title or interest (collectively, the “Collateral”), as collateral security for the prompt and complete payment and performance when due (whether at the stated
maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of all Obligations of every Grantor and every other Loan Party:

(b) all Chattel Paper, including, without limitation, all Electronic Chattel Paper and Tangible Chattel Paper; 

(c) all Documents; 
 (d) all
General Intangibles;

attachments to or in respect of, any of the foregoing. 
 provided, however, that notwithstanding any of the other provisions set forth in
this Section 3, this Agreement shall not constitute a grant of a security interest in Excluded Property. “Excluded Property” means (i) any property to the extent that such grant of a security interest is prohibited
by any rule of law, statute or regulation or requires a consent not obtained of any government, governmental body or official, or is prohibited by, or constitutes a breach or default under or results in the termination of or requires any consent not
obtained under, any contract, license, agreement, instrument or other document evidencing or giving rise to such property, except to the extent that such rule of law, statute or regulation or the term in such contract, license, agreement, instrument
or other document or shareholder or similar agreement providing for such prohibition, breach, default or termination or requiring such consent is ineffective under applicable law; (ii) any Trademark applications filed in the United States
Patent and Trademark Office on the basis of a Grantor’s “intent-to-use” such trademark, unless and until acceptable evidence of use of the Trademark has been filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office pursuant to
Section 1(c) or Section 1(d) of the Lanham Act (15 U.S.C. 1051, et seq.), whereupon such Trademark application will be deemed automatically included in the Collateral, to the extent that granting the Security Interest in such Trademark
application prior to such filing would adversely affect the enforceability or validity of such Trademark application, (iii) more than 65% of the issued and outstanding Capital Stock entitled to vote (within the meaning of Treas. Reg.
Section 1.956-2(c)(2)) in any Non-U.S. Subsidiary directly owned by any Grantor or any Subsidiary of any Grantor; provided that if, as a result of a change in applicable law after the date hereof, a pledge of a greater percentage
than 65% of the issued and outstanding Capital Stock entitled to vote (within the meaning of Treas. Reg. Section 1.956-2(c)(2)) could not reasonably be expected to cause (1) undistributed earnings of such Non-U.S. Subsidiary (as determined
for federal income tax purposes) to be treated as a deemed dividend to such Non-U.S. Subsidiary’s domestic parent or (2) other material adverse tax consequences, then this Agreement shall automatically constitute a grant of a security
interest in such greater percentage of such Capital Stock, and (iv) the Excluded LLC Interests; provided, however, that “Excluded Property” shall not include any proceeds, products, substitutions or replacements of
Excluded Property (unless such proceeds, products, substitutions or replacements would otherwise constitute Excluded Property).

Collateral Agent of an executed Collateral Access Agreement with respect to any new leased location); 
 (B) Grantors may
change the location of any Equipment, Inventory or Documents evidencing Equipment or Inventory (other than any Rig or Title Collateral) in the ordinary course of business, provided that, at least thirty (30) days prior to any such change
in location, the Grantors shall have (1) notified the Collateral Agent in writing, by executing and delivering to the Collateral Agent a completed Guarantee and Collateral Agreement Supplement identifying such new locations and providing such
other information and documentation in connection therewith as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request and (2) taken all actions necessary or advisable to maintain the continuous validity, perfection and the same or better priority of the

(C) Equipment and Inventory may be in transit to or from a Rig location, in transit to or from the location of a repair or
maintenance service provider, or at the location of a repair or maintenance service provider, in each case, in the ordinary course of business; 

(ii) each Grantor shall keep correct and accurate records of the Inventory, itemizing and describing the kind, type and
quantity of Inventory, such Grantor’s cost therefor and (where applicable) the current list prices for the Inventory, in each case, in reasonable detail, and in any event in conformity with GAAP; 

(iii) no Grantor shall deliver any Document evidencing any Equipment or Inventory to any Person other than the issuer of such
Document to claim the Goods evidenced therefor or the Collateral Agent; 
 (iv) if any Equipment or Inventory is in

Titled Collateral. At any time that Availability is less than $5,000,000, or at any time that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, upon the request of the Collateral Agent, each Grantor shall, if the aggregate value of the Titled
Collateral of the Grantors is greater than or equal to $100,000, (A) execute and file with the registrar of motor vehicles or other appropriate authority in each applicable jurisdiction, an application or other document necessary or appropriate
to cause the notation or other indication of the security interest created hereunder on each certificate of title covering any Grantor’s Titled Collateral, and (B) deliver to the Collateral Agent copies of all such applications or other
documents that have been filed with respect to any Grantor’s Titled Collateral and copies of all such certificates of title issued with respect to any Grantor’s Titled Collateral indicating the security interest created hereunder. 

4.3 Receivables. 
 (a)
Representations and Warranties. Each Grantor represents and warrants, on the Closing Date and on each Credit Date, that: 

(i) except as otherwise consented to by the Administrative Agent at its sole option, each Receivable that is included in the

 17 

 (ii) none of the Account Debtors in respect of any Receivable is the government
of the United States, any agency or instrumentality thereof, any state or municipality or any foreign sovereign, except to extent in compliance with clause (n) of the definition of Eligible Accounts under the Credit Agreement. No Receivable
requires the consent of the Account Debtor in respect thereof in connection with the pledge hereunder, except any consent which has been obtained; 

(iii) no Receivable is evidenced by, or constitutes, an Instrument or Chattel Paper which has not been delivered to, or
otherwise subjected to the control of, the Collateral Agent to the extent required by, and in accordance with Section 4.3(c); and 

(iv) each Grantor has delivered to the Collateral Agent a complete and correct copy of each standard form of document under
which a Receivable may arise. 
 (b) Covenants and Agreements: Each Grantor hereby covenants and agrees that: 

(i) each Grantor shall keep and maintain at its own cost and expense satisfactory and complete records of the Receivables,
including, but not limited to, the originals of all documentation with respect to all Receivables and records of all payments received and all credits granted on the Receivables, all merchandise returned and all other dealings therewith; 

(ii) each Grantor shall mark conspicuously, in form and manner reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, all Chattel

interest therein; 
 (iii) each Grantor shall perform in all material respects all of its obligations with respect to the
Receivables; 
 (iv) except as otherwise consented to by the Administrative Agent at its sole option, with respect to each
Receivable that is included in the Borrowing Base: (A) no Grantor shall amend, modify, terminate or waive any provision of any such Receivable in any manner which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the value of
such Receivable as Collateral; and (B) other than in the Ordinary Course of Business as generally conducted by Borrowers on and prior to the date hereof, and except as otherwise provided in subsection (v) below, no Grantor shall
(1) grant any extension or renewal of the time of payment of any such Receivable, (2) compromise or settle any dispute, claim or legal proceeding with respect to any such Receivable for less than the total unpaid balance thereof,
(3) release, wholly or partially, any Person liable for the payment of any such Receivable, or (4) allow any credit or discount on any such Receivable; 

(v) except as otherwise provided in this subsection or as consented to by the Administrative Agent at its sole option, each
Grantor shall continue to collect all amounts due or to become due to such Grantor under each Receivable that is included in the Borrowing Base and any Supporting Obligation and diligently exercise each material right it may have under any such
Receivable or any Supporting Obligation or Collateral Support, in each case, at its own expense, and in connection with such collections and exercise, such Grantor shall take such action as such 

  
 18 

 
Grantor or the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or advisable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collateral Agent shall have the right at any time to notify, or require any Grantor to
notify, any Account Debtor of the Collateral Agent’s security interest in the Receivables and any Supporting Obligation and, in addition, at any time following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Collateral
Agent may: (1) direct the Account Debtors under any Receivables to make payment of all amounts due or to become due to any Grantor thereunder directly to the Collateral Agent; (2) notify, or require any Grantor to notify, each Person
maintaining a lockbox or similar arrangement to which Account Debtors under any Receivables have been directed to make payment to remit all amounts representing collections on checks and other payment items from time to time sent to or deposited in
such lockbox or other arrangement directly to the Collateral Agent; and (3) enforce, at the expense of Grantors, collection of any such Receivables and to adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment thereof, in the same manner and to the
same extent as such Grantor might have done. If the Collateral Agent notifies any Grantor that it has elected to collect the Receivables in accordance with the preceding sentence, any payments of Receivables received by any Grantor shall be
forthwith (and in any event within two (2) Business Days) deposited by such Grantor in the exact form received, duly indorsed by such Grantor to the Collateral Agent if required, in the Collateral Account maintained under the sole dominion and
control of the Collateral Agent, and until so turned over, all amounts and proceeds (including checks and other instruments) received by each Grantor in respect of the Receivables, any Supporting Obligation or Collateral Support shall be received in
trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent hereunder and shall be segregated from other funds of such Grantor and such Grantor shall not adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment of any Receivable, or release wholly or partly any Account
Debtor or obligor thereof, or allow any credit or discount thereon; and 
 (vi) each Grantor shall use its best efforts to
keep in full force and effect any Supporting Obligation or Collateral Support relating to any Receivable. 
 (c) Delivery and Control of
Receivables. With respect to any Receivables in excess of $100,000 individually or $250,000 in the aggregate that are evidenced by, or constitute, Chattel Paper or Instruments, each Grantor shall cause each originally executed copy thereof to be
delivered to the Collateral Agent (or its agent or designee) appropriately indorsed to the Collateral Agent or indorsed in blank: (i) with respect to any such Receivables in existence on the date hereof, on or prior to the date hereof and
(ii) with respect to any such Receivables hereafter arising, within ten (10) days of such Grantor acquiring rights therein. With respect to any Receivables in excess of $100,000 individually or $250,000 in the aggregate which would
constitute “electronic chattel paper” under Article 9 of the UCC, each Grantor shall take all steps necessary to give the Collateral Agent control over such Receivables (within the meaning of Section 9-105 of the UCC): (i) with
respect to any such Receivables in existence on the date hereof, on or prior to the date hereof and (ii) with respect to any such Receivables hereafter arising, within ten (10) days of such Grantor acquiring rights therein. Any Receivable
not otherwise required to be delivered or subjected to the control of the Collateral Agent in accordance with this Section 4.3(c) shall be delivered or subjected to such control upon request of the Collateral Agent. 

4.4 Investment Related Property. 

4.4.1 Investment Related Property Generally. 

(a) Covenants and Agreements. Each Grantor hereby covenants and agrees that: 

(i) in the event it acquires rights in any Investment Related Property after the date hereof, it shall deliver to the
Collateral Agent a completed Guarantee and Collateral 

  
 19 

 
Agreement Supplement, reflecting such new Investment Related Property and all other Investment Related Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that the security
interest of the Collateral Agent shall attach to all Investment Related Property immediately upon any Grantor’s acquisition of rights therein and shall not be affected by the failure of any Grantor to deliver a supplement to Schedule 4.4
as required hereby; 
 (ii) in the event such Grantor receives any dividends, interest or distributions on any Investment
Related Property, or any securities or other property upon the merger, consolidation, liquidation or dissolution of any issuer of any Investment Related Property, then (a) such dividends, interest or distributions and securities or other
property shall be included in the definition of Collateral without further action and (b) such Grantor shall immediately take all steps, if any, necessary or advisable to ensure the validity, perfection, priority and, if applicable, control of
the Collateral Agent over such Investment Related Property (including, without limitation, delivery thereof to the Collateral Agent) and pending any such action such Grantor shall be deemed to hold such dividends, interest, distributions, securities
or other property in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and shall segregate such dividends, distributions, securities or other property from all other property of such Grantor; and 

(iii) each Grantor consents to the grant by each other Grantor of a security interest in all Investment Related Property to the
Collateral Agent and to all other provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents relating to Investment Related Property. 
 (b)
Delivery and Control. 
 (i) Each Grantor agrees that with respect to any Investment Related Property in which it
currently has rights it shall comply with the provisions of this Section 4.4.1(b)(i) and with respect to any Investment Related Property hereafter acquired by such Grantor it shall comply with the provisions of this
Section 4.4.1(b)(i) immediately upon acquiring rights therein, in each case in form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral Agent. With respect to any Investment Related Property that is represented by a certificate or that is an
“instrument” (other than any Investment Related Property credited to a Securities Account) each Grantor shall cause such certificate or instrument to be delivered to the Collateral Agent, indorsed in blank by an “effective
indorsement” (as defined in Article 8 of the UCC), regardless of whether such certificate constitutes a “certificated security” for purposes of the UCC. With respect to any Investment Related Property that is an “uncertificated
security” for purposes of the UCC (other than any “uncertificated securities” credited to a Securities Account), each Grantor shall cause the issuer of such uncertificated security to either (i) register the Collateral Agent as
the registered owner thereof on the books and records of the issuer or (ii) execute an uncertificated securities control agreement, pursuant to which such issuer agrees to comply with the Collateral Agent’s instructions with respect to
such uncertificated security without further consent by any Grantor. 
 (c) Voting. 

(i) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or in
the other Loan Documents, each Grantor shall be entitled to exercise or refrain from exercising any and all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to the Investment Related Property or any part thereof for any purpose not inconsistent with
the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; provided that no Grantor shall exercise or refrain from exercising any such right if the Collateral Agent shall have notified such Grantor that, in the Collateral Agent’s
reasonable judgment, such action would have a Material Adverse Effect; and provided further, that such Grantor shall give the Collateral Agent at least five (5) Business Days prior written notice of the manner in which it intends
to exercise, or the reasons for refraining from exercising, any such right; 

  
 20 

 (ii) upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default: 

(1) all rights of each Grantor to exercise or refrain from exercising the voting and other consensual rights which it would
otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant hereto shall cease and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Collateral Agent who shall thereupon have the sole right to exercise such voting and other consensual rights; and 

(2) in order to permit the Collateral Agent to exercise the voting and other consensual rights which it may be entitled to
exercise pursuant hereto and to receive all dividends and other distributions which it may be entitled to receive hereunder: (1) each Grantor shall promptly execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to the Collateral Agent all
proxies, dividend payment orders and other instruments as the Collateral Agent may from time to time reasonably request and (2) each Grantor acknowledges that the Collateral Agent may utilize the power of attorney set forth in
Section 6.1. 
 4.4.2 Pledged Equity Interests. 

(a) Representations and Warranties. Each Grantor hereby represents and warrants, on the Closing Date and on each Credit Date, that:

is convertible into, or that requires the issuance or sale of, any Pledged Equity Interests; 
 (iv) without limiting the
generality of Section 4.1(a)(x), no consent of any Person including any other general or limited partner, any other member of a limited liability company, any other shareholder or any other trust beneficiary is necessary or desirable in
connection with the creation, perfection or first priority status of the security interest of the Collateral Agent in any Pledged Equity Interests or the exercise by the Collateral Agent of the voting or other rights provided for in this Agreement
or the exercise of remedies in respect thereof; 

  
 21 

 (v) none of the Pledged LLC Interests or Pledged Partnership Interests are or
represent interests in issuers that: (a) are registered as investment companies or (b) are dealt in or traded on securities exchanges or markets; and

 (i) without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent, no Grantor shall vote to
enable or take any other action to: (a) amend or terminate any partnership agreement, limited liability company agreement, certificate of incorporation, by-laws or other organizational documents in any way that materially changes the rights of
any Grantor with respect to any Investment Related Property or adversely affects the validity, perfection or priority of the Collateral Agent’s security interest, (b) permit any issuer of any Pledged Equity Interest to issue any additional
stock, partnership interests, limited liability company interests or other equity interests of any nature or to issue securities convertible into or granting the right of purchase or exchange for any stock or other equity interest of any nature of
such issuer, (c) other than as permitted under the Credit Agreement, permit any issuer of any Pledged Equity Interest to dispose of all or a material portion of its assets, (d) waive any default under or breach of any terms of
organizational document relating to the issuer of any Pledged Equity Interest or the terms of any Pledged Debt, or (e) cause any issuer of any Pledged Partnership Interests or Pledged LLC Interests which are not securities (for purposes of the
UCC) on the date hereof to elect or otherwise take any action to cause such Pledged Partnership Interests or Pledged LLC Interests to be treated as securities for purposes of the UCC; provided however, notwithstanding the foregoing, if
any issuer of any Pledged Partnership Interests or Pledged LLC Interests takes any such action in violation of the foregoing in this clause (e), each Grantor shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent in writing of any such election or action and,
in such event, shall take all steps necessary or advisable to establish the Collateral Agent’s “control” thereof; 

(ii) each Grantor shall comply with all of its obligations under any partnership agreement or limited liability company

is not effective solely under Section 9-508 of the UCC) in any collateral in which such new debtor has or acquires rights, (ii) all the outstanding capital stock or other equity interests of the surviving or resulting corporation, limited

4.4.3 Pledged Debt. 
 (a)
Representations and Warranties. Each Grantor hereby represents and warrants, on the Closing Date and each Credit Date, that Schedule 4.4 (as such schedule may be amended or supplemented from time to time)

(a) Representations and Warranties. Each Grantor hereby represents and warrants, on the Closing Date and each Credit Date, that: 

(i) Schedule 4.4 (as such schedule may be amended or supplemented from time to time) sets forth under the headings

the pledge on its books and records or making such filings or recordings, in each case as may be necessary or advisable, under the laws of such issuer’s jurisdiction to ensure the validity, perfection and priority of the security interest of

its nominee or agent. In addition, the Collateral Agent shall have the right at any time, without notice to or consent of any Grantor, to exchange any certificates or instruments representing any Investment Related Property for certificates or
instruments of smaller or larger denominations.

Grantor, a written statement describing such event, with copies of such material amendments or new contracts, delivered to the Collateral Agent (to the extent such delivery is permitted by the terms of any such Material Agreement,
provided no prohibition on delivery shall be effective if it were bargained for by such Grantor with the intent of avoiding compliance with this Section 4.5(b)(iii)), and an explanation of any actions being taken with
respect thereto; 
 (iv) each Grantor shall perform in all material respects all of its obligations with respect to the
Material Agreements; 
 (v) each Grantor shall promptly and diligently exercise each material right (except the right of
termination) it may have under any Material Agreement, any Supporting Obligation or Collateral Support, in each case, at its own expense, and in connection with such collections and exercise, such Grantor shall take such action as such Grantor or
the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable; 
 (vi) each Grantor shall use its best efforts to keep in full force
and effect any Supporting Obligation or Collateral Support relating to any Material Agreement; 
 (vii) if requested by the
Collateral Agent, each Grantor shall, within thirty (30) days of the date of such request, with respect to any Non-Assignable Contract, request in writing the consent of the counterparty or counterparties to the Non-Assignable Contract pursuant

thereafter; 
 (viii) each Grantor shall use its best efforts to prohibit anti-assignment provisions in any Material
Agreements on a going-forward basis; and 

  
 25 

 (ix) no Grantor shall enter into any Intellectual Property License which prevents
the exercise of remedies by the Collateral Agent with respect to any Inventory or Equipment covered by such Intellectual Property License.

Agreements. Each Grantor hereby covenants and agrees that with respect to any material letter of credit hereafter arising to which any Grantor has rights, each Grantor shall obtain the consent of the issuer thereof to the assignment of the
proceeds of the letter of credit to the Collateral Agent and shall deliver to the Collateral Agent a completed Guarantee and Collateral Agreement Supplement, identifying such letters of credit.

(a) Representations and Warranties. Each Grantor hereby represents and warrants, on the Closing Date and on each Credit Date, that:

acts and has paid all renewal, maintenance, and other fees and taxes required to maintain each registration and application of Material Intellectual Property in full force and effect; 

(v) (i) all Material Intellectual Property owned by any Grantor, and, to the best of each Grantor’s knowledge,
licensed to any Grantor is valid and enforceable; (ii) no holding, decision, or judgment has been rendered in any action or proceeding before any court or 

  
 26 

 
administrative authority challenging the validity or enforceability of, or any Grantor’s right to register, or any Grantor’s rights to own or use, any Material Intellectual Property and

 SECTION 5. REMEDIAL PROVISIONS 

5.1 Generally. 
 (a) If
any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided for herein, in any other Loan Document or otherwise available to it at
law or in equity, all the rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent upon default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) to collect, enforce or satisfy any Obligation of any Grantor or other Loan Party then owing,
whether by acceleration or otherwise, and also may pursue any of the following separately, successively or simultaneously: 

(i) require any Grantor to, and each Grantor hereby agrees that it shall at its expense and promptly upon request of the
Collateral Agent forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by the Collateral Agent and make it available to the Collateral Agent at a place to be designated by the Collateral Agent that is reasonably convenient to both parties;

  
 29 

 (ii) enter onto the property where any Collateral is located and take possession
thereof with or without judicial process; 
 (iii) prior to the disposition of the Collateral, store, process, repair or
recondition the Collateral or otherwise prepare the Collateral for disposition in any manner to the extent the Collateral Agent deems appropriate; 

(iv) without notice except as specified below or under the UCC, sell, assign, lease, license (on an exclusive or nonexclusive
basis) or otherwise dispose of the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of the Collateral Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, at such time or times and at
such price or prices and upon such other terms as the Collateral Agent may deem commercially reasonable; and 
 (v) bring
suit or otherwise commence any action or proceeding in the name of any Grantor, the Collateral Agent or otherwise to enforce any Account, Receivable, contractual right or Intellectual Property. 

(b) The Collateral Agent or any Secured Party may be the purchaser of any or all of the Collateral at any public or private (to the extent to
the portion of the Collateral being privately sold is of a kind that is customarily sold on a recognized market or the subject of widely distributed standard price quotations) sale in accordance with the UCC and the Collateral Agent, as Collateral
Agent for and representative of the Secured Parties, shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such sale made in accordance with the UCC,
to use and apply any of the Obligations of any Grantor or other Loan Party as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by the Collateral Agent at such sale. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold
absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of any Grantor, and each Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by applicable law) all rights of redemption, stay and/or appraisal which it now has or may at any time in the future have
under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10) days notice to such Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the
time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Collateral Agent may adjourn any
public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. Each Grantor agrees that it would not be
commercially unreasonable for the Collateral Agent to dispose of the Collateral or any portion thereof by using Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of
doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets. Each Grantor hereby waives any claims against the Collateral Agent and each other Secured Party arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any Collateral may have been sold at such a
private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale, even if the Collateral Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree. If the proceeds of any sale or other
disposition of 

  
 30 

 
the Collateral are insufficient to pay all the Obligations of all Grantors and other Loan Parties, Grantors shall be liable for the deficiency and the fees of any attorneys employed by the
Collateral Agent to collect such deficiency. Each Grantor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 5 will cause irreparable injury to the Collateral Agent, that the Collateral Agent has no adequate
remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section 5 shall be specifically enforceable against such Grantor, and such Grantor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any
defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no Default has occurred giving rise to the Obligations becoming due and payable prior to their stated maturities. Nothing in this Section 5
shall in any way alter the rights of the Collateral Agent hereunder. 
 (c) The Collateral Agent may sell the Collateral without giving any
warranties as to the Collateral. The Collateral Agent may specifically disclaim or modify any warranties of title or the like. This procedure will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral.

 (d) The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to marshal any of the Collateral. 

5.2 Sales on Credit. If Collateral Agent sells any of the Collateral upon credit, Grantors will be credited only with payments actually
made by purchaser and received by Collateral Agent and applied to indebtedness of the purchaser. In the event the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, Collateral Agent may resell the Collateral and Grantor shall be credited with proceeds of
the sale. 
 5.3 Deposit Accounts. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent may apply the
balance from any Deposit Account or instruct the bank at which any Deposit Account is maintained to pay the balance of any Deposit Account to or for the benefit of the Collateral Agent. 

5.4 Investment Related Property. (a) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and solely to the
extent permitted by the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents (i) each Grantor shall be permitted to receive all cash dividends paid in respect of the Pledged Equity Interests paid in the normal course of business of the relevant issuer
and consistent with past practice (solely to the extent such dividends are not required to be paid to any Agent or Lender as a prepayment of any Obligations under the Credit Agreement), (ii) each Grantor shall be permitted to pay and declare
dividends and (iii) subject to Section 4.4.1(c), each Grantor shall be permitted to exercise all voting and consensual rights with respect to the Pledged Equity Interests; provided however, that no vote shall be cast
or corporate or other organizational right exercised or other action taken which, in the Collateral Agent’s reasonable judgment, would impair the Collateral or which would be inconsistent with or result in any violation of any provision of the
Credit Agreement, this Agreement or any other Loan Document. 
 (b) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, (i) the
Collateral Agent shall have the right to receive any and all cash dividends, payments or other Proceeds paid in respect of the Pledged Equity Interests and make application thereof to the Obligations in such order as the Collateral Agent may
determine, and (ii) at the Collateral Agent’s election, any or all of the Pledged Equity Interests shall be registered in the name of the Collateral Agent or its nominee, and the Collateral Agent or its nominee may thereafter exercise
(x) all voting, corporate and other rights pertaining to such Pledged Equity Interests at any meeting of shareholders, members, partners or other interest holders of the relevant issuer or issuers or otherwise and (y) any and all rights of
conversion, exchange and subscription and any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to such Pledged Equity Interests as if it were the absolute owner thereof (including, without limitation, the right to exchange at its discretion any and
all of the Pledged Equity Interests upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other 

  
 31 

 
fundamental change in the corporate or other organizational structure of any issuer, or upon the exercise by any Grantor or the Collateral Agent of any right, privilege or option pertaining to
such Pledged Equity Interests, and in connection therewith, the right to deposit and deliver any and all of the Pledged Equity Interests with any committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and
conditions as the Collateral Agent may determine), all without liability except to account for property actually received by it, but the Collateral Agent shall have no duty to any Grantor or any other Person to exercise any such right, privilege or
option and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing. 
 (c) Each Grantor hereby authorizes and instructs each
issuer of any Pledged Equity Interests pledged by such Grantor hereunder to (i) comply with any instruction received by it from the Collateral Agent in writing that (x) states that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and
(y) is otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without any other or further instructions from such Grantor, and each Grantor agrees that each issuer shall be fully protected in so complying, and (ii) unless otherwise
expressly permitted hereby, pay any dividends or other payments with respect to the Pledged Equity Interests directly to the Collateral Agent. 

(d) Each Grantor recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, the
Collateral Agent may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part of the Investment Related Property conducted without prior registration or qualification of such Investment Related Property under the Securities Act and/or such state
securities laws, to limit purchasers to those who will agree, among other things, to acquire the Investment Related Property for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Grantor acknowledges
that any such private sale may be at prices and on terms less favorable than those obtainable through a public sale without such restrictions (including a public offering made pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act) and,
notwithstanding such circumstances, each Grantor agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and that the Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to engage in public sales and no
obligation to delay the sale of any Investment Related Property for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to register it for a form of public sale requiring registration under the Securities Act or under applicable state
securities laws, even if such issuer would, or should, agree to so register it. If the Collateral Agent determines to exercise its right to sell any or all of the Investment Related Property, upon written request, each Grantor shall and shall cause
each issuer of any Pledged Equity Interests to be sold hereunder, each partnership and each limited liability company from time to time to furnish to the Collateral Agent all such information as the Collateral Agent may request in order to determine
the number and nature of interest, shares or other instruments included in the Investment Related Property which may be sold by the Collateral Agent in exempt transactions under the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission thereunder, as the same are from time to time in effect. 
 5.5 Grantor’s Personnel. Upon written notice
from the Collateral Agent, each Grantor shall make available to the Collateral Agent, to the extent within such Grantor’s power and authority, such personnel in such Grantor’s employ on the date of an Event of Default as the Collateral
Agent may reasonably designate, by name, title or job responsibility, to permit such Grantor to continue, directly or indirectly, to produce, advertise and sell the products and services sold or delivered by such Grantor under or in connection with
any Intellectual Property included in the Collateral, such persons to be available to perform their prior functions on the Collateral Agent’s behalf and to be compensated by the Collateral Agent at such Grantor’s expense on a per diem, pro
rata basis consistent with the salary and benefit structure applicable to each as of the date of such Event of Default. 

  
 32 

 5.6 Notification to Account Debtors. The Collateral Agent shall have the right to notify,
or require each Grantor to notify, any Account Debtors with respect to amounts due or to become due to such Grantor in respect of any Collateral, of the existence of the Security Interest, to direct such Account Debtors to make payment of all such
amounts directly to the Collateral Agent, and, upon such notification and at the expense of such Grantor, to enforce collection of any such amounts and to adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment thereof, in the same manner and to the same
extent as such Grantor might have done. No Grantor shall adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment of any such amount, or release wholly or partly any Account Debtor with respect thereto or allow any credit or discount thereon. 

5.7 Reassignment of Undisposed Collateral. If (i) an Event of Default shall have occurred and, by reason of cure, waiver,
modification, amendment or otherwise, no longer be continuing, (ii) no other Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (iii) an assignment or other transfer to the Collateral Agent of any rights, title and interests in and to
the Collateral shall have been previously made and shall have become absolute and effective, and (iv) the Obligations shall not have become immediately due and payable, upon the written request of any Grantor, the Collateral Agent shall
promptly execute and deliver to such Grantor, at such Grantor’s sole cost and expense, such assignments or other transfer as may be necessary to reassign to such Grantor any such rights, title and interests as may have been assigned to the
Collateral Agent as aforesaid (which reassignment may be without representation or warranty of any kind), subject to any disposition thereof (including , but not limited to by way of any Intellectual Property License granted by, or at the direction
of, the Collateral Agent) that may have been made by the Collateral Agent; provided after giving effect to such reassignment, the Security Interest granted pursuant hereto, as well as all other rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent
granted hereunder, shall continue to be in full force and effect. 
 5.8 Grant of License to Collateral Agent. Solely for the purpose
of enabling the Collateral Agent to exercise rights and remedies under this Section 5 at such time as the Collateral Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, each Grantor hereby grants to the Collateral
Agent, to the extent it has the right to do so, an irrevocable, worldwide, non-exclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to any Grantor) to use, or otherwise operate under, license or sublicense, any
Intellectual Property now owned by or licensed to, or hereafter acquired by or licensed to any Grantor, subject, in the case of Trademarks, to sufficient rights to quality control and inspection in favor of the applicable Grantor to avoid the risk
of invalidation of said Trademarks. The foregoing license shall include access to all media in which any of the applicable intellectual property may be recorded, processed or stored and all computer programs related thereto. 

5.9 Proceeds to be Turned Over To Collateral Agent. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, all Proceeds received by any
Grantor consisting of cash, checks and other near-cash items shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Grantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such
Grantor, be turned over to the Collateral Agent in the exact form received by such Grantor (duly indorsed by such Grantor to the Collateral Agent, if required). All Proceeds received by the Collateral Agent hereunder shall be held by the Collateral
Agent in a collateral account maintained under its sole dominion and control (such account, the “Collateral Account”). All Proceeds while held by the Collateral Agent in a Collateral Account (or by such Grantor in trust for the
Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties) shall continue to be held as collateral security for all the Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as provided in Section 5.10. 

5.10 Application of Proceeds. At such intervals as may be agreed upon by the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, or, if an Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, at any time at the Administrative Agent’s election, the Administrative Agent may apply all or any part of any Proceeds 

  
 33 

 
of Collateral or other amounts received on account of the Obligations, whether or not held in any Collateral Account, and any proceeds of the guarantees set forth in Section 2, in the
order and manner set forth in Section 7.03 of the Credit Agreement. 
 5.11 Registration Rights. (a) If the
Collateral Agent shall determine to exercise its right to sell any or all of the Pledged Equity Interests pursuant to Section 5.4, and if in the opinion of the Collateral Agent it is necessary or advisable to have the Pledged Equity
Interests, or that portion thereof to be sold, registered under the provisions of the Securities Act, each Grantor will cause the issuer thereof to (i) execute and deliver, and cause the directors and officers of such issuer to execute and
deliver, all such instruments and documents, and do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be, in the opinion of the Collateral Agent, necessary or advisable to register the Pledged Equity Interests, or that portion thereof to be sold, under
the provisions of the Securities Act, (ii) use its best efforts to cause the registration statement relating thereto to become effective and to remain effective for a period of one year from the date of the first public offering of the Pledged
Equity Interests, or that portion thereof to be sold, and (iii) make all amendments thereto and/or to the related prospectus which, in the opinion of the Collateral Agent, are necessary or advisable, all in conformity with the requirements of
the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission applicable thereto. Each Grantor agrees to cause such issuer to comply with the provisions of the securities or “Blue Sky” laws of any and all
jurisdictions which the Collateral Agent shall designate and to make available to its security holders, as soon as practicable, an earnings statement (which need not be audited) which will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the
Securities Act. 
 (b) Each Grantor recognizes that the Collateral Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Pledged
Equity Interests, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or otherwise, and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers which will
be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices
and other terms less favorable than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. The Collateral Agent shall be under
no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Equity Interests for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even
if such issuer would agree to do so. 
 (c) Each Grantor agrees to use its best efforts to do or cause to be done all such other acts as may
be necessary to make such sale or sales of all or any portion of the Pledged Equity Interests pursuant to this Section 5.11 valid and binding and in compliance with any and all other applicable requirements of law. 

5.12 Deficiency. Each Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral
are insufficient to pay all of the Obligations of every Grantor and other Loan Party. 
 SECTION 6. THE COLLATERAL AGENT 

6.1 Collateral Agent’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact, etc. (a) Each Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints the Collateral
Agent and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or in its own name, for
the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and 

  
 34 

 
instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor hereby gives the Collateral Agent
the power and right, on behalf of such Grantor, without notice to or assent by such Grantor, to do any or all of the following: 

(i) in the name of such Grantor or its own name, or otherwise, take possession of and indorse and collect any checks, drafts,
notes, acceptances or other instruments for the payment of moneys due with respect to any Collateral and file any claim or take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by the Collateral Agent for
the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys due under any Collateral whenever payable; 
 (ii) in the case of any
Intellectual Property, execute and deliver, and have recorded, any and all agreements, instruments, documents and papers as the Collateral Agent may request to evidence the Collateral Agent’s security interest in such Intellectual Property and
the goodwill and General Intangibles of such Grantor relating thereto or represented thereby; 
 (iii) pay or discharge taxes
and Liens levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral, effect any repairs or any insurance called for by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document and pay all or any part of the premiums therefor and the costs thereof; 

(iv) execute, in connection with any sale provided for in Section 5, any indorsements, assignments or other
instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral; and 
 (v) (1) direct any party liable for any
payment under any of the Collateral to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to the Collateral Agent or as the Collateral Agent shall direct; (2) ask or demand for, collect, and receive payment of and
receipt for, any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Collateral; (3) commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of
competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any portion thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral; (4) defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against any Grantor with respect to any Collateral;
(5) settle, compromise or adjust any such suit, action or proceeding and, in connection therewith, give such discharges or releases as the Collateral Agent may deem appropriate; (6) license, sublicense, or assign any Intellectual Property
on such terms and conditions, and in such manner, as the Collateral Agent shall determine appropriate; and (7) generally, sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and
completely as though the Collateral Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and do, at the Collateral Agent’s option and Grantors’ expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which the Collateral Agent
deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Collateral Agent’s security interests therein and to effect the intent of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, all as fully and effectively as any Grantor might
do. 
 (b) If any Grantor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the
Collateral Agent, at its option, but without any obligation so to do, may perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement. 

(c) The expenses of the Collateral Agent incurred in connection with actions undertaken as provided in this Section 6.1, together
with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the 

  
 35 

 
highest rate per annum at which interest would then be payable on any category of past due Loans under the Credit Agreement, from the date of payment by the Collateral Agent to the date
reimbursed by Grantors, shall be payable by Grantors to the Collateral Agent on demand. 
 (d) Each Grantor hereby ratifies all that said
attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. All powers, authorizations and agencies contained in this Agreement are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable until this Agreement is terminated and the security interests
created hereby are released. 
 6.2 Duty of Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent’s sole duty with respect to the custody,
safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the New York UCC or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Collateral Agent deals with similar property for its own
account. Neither the Collateral Agent, any Secured Party nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall
be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any Grantor or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. The powers conferred on the
Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties hereunder are solely to protect the Collateral Agent’s and the Secured Parties’ interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party to exercise
any such powers. The Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their officers, directors, employees or agents
shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. 

6.3 Authority of Collateral Agent. Each Grantor acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the Collateral Agent under this
Agreement with respect to any action taken by the Collateral Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by the Collateral Agent of any option, voting right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising out of
this Agreement shall, as between the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties, be governed by the Credit Agreement and by such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between the Collateral Agent and
the Grantors, the Collateral Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the Secured Parties with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and no Grantor shall be under any obligation, or entitlement, to make any
inquiry respecting such authority. 
 SECTION 7. MISCELLANEOUS
